he writes. Of 9 ,urse.
The Legislature elects the
Senator. That's the milk in
the cocoanut." The follow
ing letter written by Butler
shows his present policy:
MY DEAR SIR:-.As you
know, we have two full State
tickets in the field. while inev
cry county in the state we
have q cooperative ticketfor
the Legislature and county
officers. The outlook now is
most encouraging that We
will carry a good majority of
the counties, and have a good
working majority in the Leg
islature. The registration up
to date has been considera-
hly in our favor, in spite OF
all the tricks resorted to and
all the objections placed in
tho way of our voters regis
tering. With proper work and
organization from now ON,
we are therefore sure of poll
ing a majority OF the voters.
Now the question is, shall
we try to elect a State ticket
or shall we throw the State
ticket away? We have a ma
|jprity of the votes. We car
elect the State ticket, but i
we divide these vutes between
two State tickets, then o
course both tickets will be d.
fea ted and the Democratic
State ticket from Governor
down will be elected.
What is your advice about

the altar Of his devotion to h anaconda

political ruin. The men he served have

ZOE SMITH IN EVIDENCE.

In an interview in the Helena Independ-
ent, Governor Smith expresses the belief
that nearly all the republican officials of
Kentucky will land in the ~penitentiary
as accessories to the murder of Goebel!
1t appears that Governor Smith sup
plemented his tour to Washington, via
New York, with a visit to Kentucky Ell
route home.
Associating with men of his own type,
while in his native state, he quite natur-
ally perhaps drew the conclusions SO
freely expressed in his interview,
Fortunately, the present governor OF
Montana has ceased to be regarded as an
authority on public affairs, however much
of an expert he may be on some other pro-
positions. Isl IL

strict regard for the truth On the part Of
one who is temporarily misunderstanding
this state in the gubernatorial chair,
His public insult to Governor Taylor Of
Kentucky, in which he virtually accuses
that gentleman of being an accessory to
the murder of Goebel. is merely another
evidence that Montana is struggling
along with mighty small potatoes at the
head of the state government, with few
in a hill.

vided in this country between the Beers
and the English, and the neutral atti-
tide of the administration is consistent
with the conditions that exist. Had the
early reverses of the English been con-
tinued until Great Britain desired peace.
the American republic was in a position
to serve as a mutual friend, just as it
has now done in the interests of the
Beers. Having offered it's services,

AS was anticipated in these columns
at the inception of the war, Great Brit
ain will agree to no terms of peace that
recognizes the independence of the Boer
republic or the Orange Free State. To
do so would be to ultimately sacrifice
Cape Colony to the rapacity of the South
African republics, and drive Great Brit
ain from the continent. With it's posi-
ton in South Africa imperilled by the
conditions Of peace. England's foothold
in Egypt would be endangered n Rus

most importance that the contending
provinces now engaged in war should be
thoroughly subdued.
The future of Great Britain, as the
great colonial power of the world, must
to a large degree rest upon the outcome
of the South African war. Viewed from
/ this standpoint the extraordinary efforts
which that country is putting forth in
military way can be easily understood
1t has been said that English statesmen
