The hope of every good citizen is thai
he will be equal to the opportunity pre-
scented.
But if. in this matter, his excellency is
governed by the same political influences
that shape his other public acts it will
not be hard to forecast the personal pre-
delictions of the appointee.
We say this in all kindness. and mere
ly because it is ~undeniably true.
It is a subject which the public has a
right to discuss, even at the risk Of be-
ing called a meddler by the organ Of the
copper trust, and we have no doubt
speculation will run rife as to the posi-
Bile course his excellency may pursue.
1t is unfortunately true that most of
the democratic attorneys in this state. of
sufficient experience and ample caliber
to grace the bench, are more or less
warmly identified with either one faction
or the other of that party, which to No
extent disqualifies them for i'm
partial service as a member of the Sill
preme court.
There are executions, to be sure. as
democratic attorneys ave honored the
district bench with great ability and the
utmos fairness. but political conditions
are such in this state, at the. present
time. that the work of filling he Hunt
vacancy with an unbiased Jeffersonian
will call for the utmost discretion on the
part of the governor. H
If that is the kind of a man his excel
lency will look for the search will doubt
less be rewarded with the finding.
But there is nothing in the past his
tory of the governor to indicate that he
is going to make a Diogenes of himself,
unless the Daily democrats furnish the
lantern.

THE PUBLIC AND THE COURTS.

This morning the Anaconda Standard
refers to the Inter Mountain as the
Butte Inter Meddler," because, forsooth,
this paper had the temerity to discuss
the relationship of his excellency, Gov
ernor Smith, to the forthcoming vacancy
on the supreme bench of this state.
+ If there is anything our Warm Springs
contemporary objects to more than to
anything else, it is the public discussion
of public affairs.
In it's opinion, doubtless, such a little,
trihing affair as the appointment of an
associate justice of the supreme court
should excite no public interest, being
merely a matter of personal interest to
the governor alone!
The newspaper which has the courage
to lnterpose a suggestion or two relative
to such matters is, of course, poking its
journalistic nose into forbidden territory,
hence deserves to be called a medGler!
Inasmuch as the Standard, as the Or
gan of the copper trust, will not edito-
rally demand the appointment Of a Judge
favorable to the interests it represents,
why should any other newspaper touch
upon the purely personal business of the
chief executive?
Why should h public concern itself
about the composition of the supreme
court?
Why not keep still and permit the po-
litieal influences which are trying to Sc
cure control of the judiciary Of this state
for a specific and definite purpose, to reg

A POSSIBLE DELAY.

The passage at arms between Senators
Chandler and Stewart, in which the lat
ter expressed a determination to read the
evidence in the Clark c0se before pass
ing Judgment upon it's merits. seems to
indicate the possibility of additional de-
lay on the part of the senate in reaching
a final conclusion. The moral effect of
the unanimous decision Of the commit
tee ppears to nav been worn off to a
large extent by the evident anxiety of
Chairman Chandler to secure quick &C.
ton. At first it was Senator Allen alone
who announced his purpose to investi-
gate the case for himself, and later Sem
ator Stewart. and several other gentle
men. fell into line with the idea.
The vigorous little set-to between Mr..
Chandler and Mr.. Stewart suggests the
possibility hat the Clark case will not
be permitted to go by default when it
comes up for consideration next Thurs
day, There is likely to be quite an array
of talent behind the interests of the jul
Nor senator from Montana, insisting
upon a reconsideration of the evidence
in the case along strictly judicial lines.
If circumstances justify the reading of
all the evidence in the case, in order to
purge the records of that which may be
deemed immaterial, it will require the
remainder of the term for it's full con-
sideration. Moreover, the speeches,

the proposition. will consume no little
time, and should a constitutional ques-
ton be raised as to the committees re-
port it may be necessary to postpone
final action until the next term of con-
gress.
After the debate shall nave ended as
to the propriety of attaching weight to
certain testimony given before the COM
mittee, and a filtering process shall have
been applied, NJ doubt the controversy
over the character of the
ton made will excite a lengthy discus
sion on the floor of the senate. The right
of the senate to annul a legislative act of
a state will be duly considered, when
there is no question as to the power of
that body to expel a sitting member for
cause. The process by which the COM
mittee seeks to vacate the Clark seat
will make an interesting topic for debate,
regardless of the actual merits OF the
case.
1t will thus be seen that undue haste
IN the disposition of Mr.. Clark ;s not
to be permitted, and the report of the
is not to be gulped down like
an after-dinner pill, and no questions
asked. While the chances are decidedly
against the junior senator from this
state, his friends in the senate evidently
intend that the political obsequies shall
be properly conducted. St, Paul is ALL
thority for the suggestion, we believe.
that everything should be done decentlv
and in order, and there are manv who p
of the opinion hat that rule should he
observed in the Clark case. Nothing is
lost to the cause of justice by giving to
any case the consideration it's imp,rt-
ance may demand, while a hasty concl,-
sion may prove to be a confession of TO-
norance, and do an injustice which can
never be repaired.

FORCING A PAR7Y FIGHT.

The democratic appetite for spoils. ir
the event of a possible victory in the
presidential campaign, has led to a party
split in the state of New York. Since
Mr.. Bryan agreed to the retirement OF
free coinage as the issue,
DICK Croker and his select herd of Tam
many tigers have been unreservedly in
favor of that gentleman's nomination.
But the fidelity of these men to the in
terests of the Nebraska statesman does
not bring joy to the heart of the original
1896 Bryan men of the Empire state.
Ihey foresee in the situation the possi-
bility of Tammany walking off with the
federal patronage in case Bryan should
happen to evolute into the white house.
To head this off they intend to institute
a little DAILY and Clark by-play of their
own. n lay the foundation for the
maintenance Of their inalienable right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of postoffices
in case of a democratic victory.
These simon-pure originals experience
feelings akin to horror to see such men
as Dick Croker and David Hill represent
the state of New York at Kansas CITY.
but there seems to be no help for it un-
less their right to seats is contested.
Mr.. A. j. Elias-not the one accredited
with prophetic powers in the ancient
scriptures, but a wealthy lu,nberman in
western New York, who supported
Bryan in 1S96-has officially announced
that the original supporters of the
whilom silver leader will select a con-
testing delegation of their own and insist
upon recognition at Kansas City. Re-
ferring to the arrangements under head
way, Mr.. Elias said:
The convention will be held in United
CHARITIES hall, New York, on May 10.
Two delegates from each congress dis
trlct will be chosen and four delegates
at-large. The delegates will go to KAN
sas city and present themselves as a
contestlng delegation from New York.
Now, this is a pretty how dye do"
After Mr.. Bryan has perfected his ar
engagements with Tammany, and tied a
knot in the tigers tail so it could not
again escape from the democratic party
through a knot-hole in the fence, up pops
his original free coinage friends with a
demand for equal consideration at his
hands! If the colonel assents to the ad-
mission of the Tammany men, under
such circumstances, his ingratitude and
treachery will cost him the support of
the silver democrats of the east, and if
he shuts the door of the convention in
the face of the Tammanyites, gay old
Gotham will give the biennial democratic
candidate a game of political shindy that
will make him feel that life is anything
but a pleasant dream!
Unfortunately, Mr.. Bryan is in a posi-
ton to dictate to the forthcoming con-
Vention, and he will be a more powerful
factor in shaping it's conclusions as to
the admission of delegates, than St.
Peter is at the gates of heaven. He can
not escape responsibility along these
lines, for his advice will be ollowed
when contests arise, and his friends in
charge of the convention will overlook
nothing that promises to advance his in
terests. Therefore, the New York stu
alton promises to become an embarrass-
ing one for the democratic presidential
%aspirant to meet.

And still the Anaconda Standard can
not reconcile itself to the cruel fact that

loyal Montanian to refuse to create a

used to good advantage by a man whom
the Standard has in it's eye, is, to say the
least. discouraging.

Nailed Himself in the Coop.

A West Hoboken On. J) man started
to build chicken coop the other morn
inc. He constructed the floor first and
then stood on it and nailed up the side
boards from the inside. After he had
finished the work to his satisfaction he
found that he had left no place by which
he could get out, the only opening in the
coop being all right for a chicken, but
hardly large enough for man. The
coop was uncovered, but he could not
climb up the sides and he was not able
to pry off any Of the boards with his
hammer, SO he had to shout for help.
After the neighbor who heard his cries
had finished laughing he demolished a
part Of the coop and the builder was set
at liberty.
