EARLY Ah~TI-ExPAKSiON.

The Boston Journal has called up q
speech against expansion delivered 80
years ago in the house of representa-
tives by Josiah Quincy. The bill for the
annexation of Louisiana was then up for
consideration an. met with the indig-
mans opposition of Mr.. Quincy, who in a
fervid speech said:
When I spoke Of a separation Of the
states resulting from the violation of the
constitution contemplated in this bill. +
spoke OF Ut as a necessity deeply to be
deprecated; but as resulting from causes
so certain and obvious as to be abso-
lutely inevitable when the effect Of the
pmncipie is practically experienced. 1t
IS to preserve. to guard the constitution
or my country that I nou this at
tempt. | would arouse the attention Of
gentlemen from the apathy with which
they seem beset. BY the event., if this
Dill passes, l am willing to be judged.
The people of this country at that day
had no idea of the territorial avidity of
their successors. 1t was, on the con-
urary, an argument againStthe success Of
the project that the territory was too
extensive for a republican form of gov
eminent. But now there is no limit
to our ambitious hopes. We are about
to cross the Mississippi. The Missouri
n the Red river are but roads ON
which our imagination travels to new
lands and new states to be raised and
admitted (under the power now first
usurped) into this Union among undis-
discovered lands in the West.
This constitution was never construct
ed to form a covering for the inhabitants
of the Missouri and the Red river coun-
try, and whenever it is attempted to
asunder
Do you suppose the people of the
Northern and Atlantic states will, or
ought to look with patience and see rep
resentatives and senators from the Red
river n Missouri touring themselves
upon his N the other floor. managing
the concerns of a seaboard 1,50O miles
at least from their residence. and hav-
ing a preponderancy in councils into
which. constitutionaly, they could neve
have been admitted? .
New states are intended to be formed
beyond the Mississippi. There is no linn
it to mems inlaginations OF this subject
short of California n the Columbia
river. When I nc that the bill would
Justify a revolution and would produce
it. I spoke of it's principle and it's prac.
tical consequences. To that principle
and those I call the atten'
ton of this house n nation. The ex'
tension of the principle to states con.
| templated beyond h Mississippi can
not, will not, and ought not to be borne
"The world do move" Mr.. Quinc,
was a good man, but his mind was no
big enough to grasp the situation which
in his day confronted the country. w
have sonne OF the same sort of men nov
who throw a fit every time Porto Rico
Hawaii or the Philippines are mentioned
They are ignorant of the wonderful ant
diversified products of those islands an,
of the benefits which the institution %

their inhabitants. Either that or the.
are so perverse that having one takel
a position against expansion they refus,
to confess their error.

THEY KILLED SILVER.

Harper's Weekly ig'.res out that 50
per cent of the delegates to the Karsas
City convention were opposed to the
adoption of a silver plank. 1t is ad-
mitted even by the Anaconda Standard
Standard that the votes Of Intercollegiate
from Hawaii and one from Oklahoma
saved silver in the committee on resolu-
tons 1t is charged by that paper that
the Montana member of the committee
refused to go on the record in4favor of
the white metal and admitted, also by the
Standard, that Silver had to step aside"
It is not denied that the most pronounce
ed goldite in the convention was the hero
of the occasion-Hill. 1t is just as well
for republicans to cite these facts Whe
democrats in Montana claim that the
democracy is the free coinage party and
seek to make votes on that proposition.

DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT.

Here are a few more protests from
leading democrats of the country against
the ticket nominated last week:
General Horatio C. King-I have no
sympathy with the platform nor the
man. vote the republican ticket.
All who refuse to accept the Bryan ticket
should unite against 1t.
Delaney Nicoll-I cannot vote for
such a dishonest financial policy as the
platform advocates. I have not made up
my mind yet whether I shan vote for
Mr.. Mckinley.
Abram S. Hew4.t-I'm not in favor of
Mr.. Bryan nor of his 16 to / plank. I
certainly shall not support Mr.. Bryan or
vote for him. I am not prepared to state
just yet whether I shall vote for McKin-
ley. -
Ex-Governor Hoadley Of Ohio-I am
a democrat, but where two such men as
Mckinley and Bryan stand opposed as
candidates for the highest Office in the
land l think my duty to my country is
plain. l will vote for Mckinley.
Oscar Straus, ex-min. ster to Turkey
I am called a gold democrat because I
am opposed to a dishonest dollar. I OPP
posed Organism in 1896, and I will oppose
it again.
E. Elllery Anderson-No man who val
ues his honor CIR that of his country
could think for a homer of submitting
to the cranks who call themselves demo-
Gratis. Personally. although I have voted
the regular democratic ticket every year
sinie 1854, with the exception of 1896,
when I voted for Palmer and 'Buckner,
I shall certainly cast my vote for NC
Kinley and Roosevelt in November.
william j.. Curtis, member of the ma
tional democratic committee-The plat
form adopted and the candidates NOM
mated at Kansa City shows that the
democratic party under it's present man
agement no longer presents any attrac-
ions to the men who have always be-
lieved in sound democratic principles.
There are some strong names in that
list. Hewitt was once a democratic con-
gresham and mayor of New York.
Hoadley was democratic governor OF
, ohio. The others are almost equally
we'll known. It us easy for democrats tc
ridicule them, but they are the represen-
,tatives of a sentiment that will SWEEP
Bryan and Stevenson off their feet into
! the waters of oblivion. Were such a list
of representative republicans to CONE
out against the republican ticket Chair.

vote intelligently on the issues of the
campaign should read both ut~terances.

The events telegraphed from China
today mean war. The blood of every

of Chinese atrocities, and a mighty in

never abate sc long as the butchery at
Pekin and Tien Tsin stands unavenged.
The civilized world will rise in arms to

The honor of the American government

COLONEL L/ScUM KILLED.

Out of the vortex of the Chinese horror
comes the news of the death of Colonel
Liscum of the 9th infantry. He was kill
ed in the battle at Tien Tsin. 1t was
p~reordained that his life should end in
action and with honor, but it took the
strain of four wars to snap the cord that
bound his brave oul to this existence.
Colonel Liscum served his country in the
civil war. He served it in the war with
Spain and was wounded in the memora-
BILE charge of the gath at San Juan Hill.
He recovered in time to join the forces
in the Philippines and as colonel Of the
9th infantry faced once more the fire of
the enemy. When the necessity of send
ing an immediate force to China was
made apparent Colonel Liscum's regi-
ment was the very first to be ordered
away. His service there was brief and
against great odds, but he died as a SOL
der would wish to die, and when the
history of the orld's war against china
lis written there will be a tribute to the
first American officer to fail in the con-
flict. There will be universal sorrow be-
cause of this gallant old soldiers death.

cHARGE Or TRExcHERY.

There seems to be another war brew
ing. The esteemed Miner boldly charges
that the copper wing Of the democracy,
Standard furnishes the mouth and ears,
is going to break into the republican
party. While the esteemed Standard
Indignantly repels the charge, it accuses
the Miner, which furnishes the whisky
and cash for the other wing. of being dis
posed to tell anything but the truth. The
battle RACES with varying fortunes.
Sometimes the Miner seems to have
proved it's point inc again the Standard
has scored a victory in exposing the
falsity of the charge. The republican
busy publishing the news to dip an oar
into the seething waters of democratic
discord. The Inter Mountain would like
to invite both the DAILY and Clark adher-
ents to vote the republican ticket next
fall in the interest Of prosperity and good
government, but it cannot assume to de-
eide the contention between the Miner
and Standard. There are reasons why
the friends of Mr.. Daily should vote the
republican ticket and there are just as
many why the friends Of Mr.. Clark
should do the sane thing. There is a
! chance for reform in a. wing. The re-
publican party is ever ready to do mis-
sionary work. ~
The Standard does not hesitate to avow
it's democracy. Who can doubt the aw-
full significance of this declaration:
The republicans are out for a fight In
Montana his year. They ought to be
met and opposed, and they will be by
those who gave voice n vote and
money for the silver cause four years
ago and who reckon the pending con-
test to be one that will move along the
lines of the battle of 1896. In It's day
the Standard has refused to support
nees-notably so. Traditions as to the
Standards course in that respect are
still extant in Silver Bow County. But
what of that? It's different this year
the Standard is for the cause. in ma
tional policy, it has always stood for.
There may be people who will contend
the above expressions are somewhat
lukewarm but what of that? It is just
as we'll to let Mr.. Bryan understand that
there are men in Montana who are not
NIGHTLY pleased with the way thing:
went at Kansas City and that unless he
promises to do the right thing in the
matter OF appointments he is likely t.
lose the state. Think of the possibility
Of a United States marshal and United
States land office incumbents and timber
inspectors and so forth having to be ap
proved by John S. M. Neal. before they
can be appointed. We really do no
blame the Standard for coquetting a lit
tie at the present stage of the game ant
we rathe hope it will get the best of thu
Miner in the present controversy.
