REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS.

At the approach of this city campaign,
the f%orerunner of those political transact
tons Of wider scope which will. In this
closing year of h present century, en-
gage the earnest and solicitous considera-
ton of all good citizens, we congratulate
the republicans of Silver Bow county
and of Montana. upon the harmony and
unity of purpose prevailing amongst
them, and predict that with the united
strength-their solid phalanx ined up
undiminished by a single schisyn of fac
ton, a glorious victory will be achieved
at the polls.
The republican party of Butte City in
convention assembled, does enthusiastic

patriotic administration of William Nc
Kinley. We do most heartily endorse the
idea of expansion and declare that 1t is
our belief that the islands of the sea
brought under our sovereignty can be
wisely governed by this, the greatest and
best government on earth. That the best
interests of our possessions will be sub
served by carrying them our benign laws,
our scheme of public education, and our
system of enlightened liberty. That by
retaining the territory wrested from tyr
annical Spain in the successful prosecu-
ton of a war waged in the interest of hu-
man rights, we not only assist these here
tofore unenlightened peoples, but open up
markets., encourage commerce, n ex-
tend our trade and thus aid the western
states in the enjoyment of that great
prosperity brought back to the nation by
the present wise and able republican ad-
ministration; and that we have unbound
ed confidence and trust that the republic
can party can successfully formulate n
carry out such plan of government for
our new possessions that will be a lasting
benefit to the Inhabitants thereof.
Realizing that whenever there is any

In it's contention hat "Mr. DAILY had

There is no earthly chance of ever ex-

wealth, unless some man or men of
means will contribute toward the neces-
sary and unavoidable expense of mar
shaling the witnesses and preparing the

Until the foregoing was published it
was believed that criminal charges could
be brought against a man in the courts

exposing and furnishing" men accused Of
crimes against the law, unless some
wealthy man backs up the cause of JUS

Campbell would express it.

CtDlNG THE PUBLIC LANDS

One of the recOmmei dations made by Gov. Murphy in his annual report on Arizona to the secretary of the inte- rier was that all the public lands with in the territory be ceded to the state of Arizona at the time of its admission. There is a very strong sentiment in Arizona against the proposition con- tained in the above recommendation. Both political parties in the territory have declared against it and for the reason that if the land is once ceded to the state or territory it is believed the task of securing federal aid for the re- elimination, of the arid west, in the building of reservoirs for the storage of the surplus water, will be made very much harder than it will be if the gov ernment retains the title to the public lands. The land proposed to be ceded to Arizona is worthless in its present state and to reclaim it by irrigation will require the expenditure of millions of dollars. The government is better able to undertake this work, and can accomplish it at much less expense than the state of Arizona.
 The work of inducing the govern ment to undertake the reclamation of the arid west is we'll in hand and has some of the ablest men in the country at its head. The progress being made inrcreating sentiment favorable to the government undertaking this work is most encouraging and we believe that in few years very much of the arid west will be converted into rich and fertile fields, cultivated by prosper ous and contented people. Then, if this reclamation is to be accomplished at government expense, of which there is daily increasing hope, what matters it whether the title to the lands is to pass to the settler from the government or from the territory?
 For the territory to undertake to re- claim it's arid domain, after cession by the government would be an undertak- ing too stupendous to be thought of now. With this domain in the hands of the territory there would be persist ent importunities for lease laws which might, if granted, place these lands in the hands of speculators who would be power for all time against any effort for retaining them for farming pur- poses.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTE.

Senator Martin, of Virginia, does no, seem to hold the widley prevailing opinion that the republicans will take their recent success at the polls as a license for all manner of excesses in Legislation.
 While the republicans" he says, Twill be in position to pass any legis- lation that they may desire, believe that reasonable wishes of the minority will receive consideration. Both par ties realize that the best interests of the country must be- considered, as the people are now becoming independent of party and following their own incli- nations on all public questions.
 Commenting on the remarks of Sen ator Martin, the Louisville Courier Journal says:
 Whether the republicans shall ex- ercise the discretion with which Sem ator Martin credits them, and whether both parties realize that the best inter- ests of the country must be considred, there can be no question among intel hgent observers that the people are becoming independent of party and following their own inclinations on public Qrestions. This is a fact which must be taken into account by any party which would win today national elec- tion. Neither the election of this year nor that of 1896 was won by the Repub- lican party. Neither could have been won without the aid of that great and growing class of voters who, while they may have either democratic or repub- lican leanings in utilization or tenden- cies, give thick and thin allegiance to no party, but decide at every election, according to the facts then before them. which party they will vote with.
 "Noparty can succeed now in defiance of these voters, and the party which goes into the next campaign making the strongest appeal to their support will go into it with the best chance of victory"

TUE INDIANS NOT POOR.

Secretary Hitchcock's annual re- port shows that our Indian wards are making substantial progress toward citizenship. There are now about 266,689 Indians under the guardianship of the government. of these S4,750 belong to the Choc- taw, Chickasaw, Creek, Cherokee and Siminole tIibes in the Indian territory. These tribes not only manage their own local govern ment, but also govern between 30O,- GOO and 100000 white people liv- ing among them. They own l9,- 776,286 acres of land, or more than 232 acres each. The white people of the territory are largely tenants of these Indian landlords. The amount of lands held by Indians outside the territory Is not stated, 63,36S of them have since 1887 re- ceived allotments aggregating T. S73,570 acres, or about l25 acres each. In addition, the Indians last year had a cash income of $5,- 599,833, and 45,270 of them also received $5l each in food supplies. So our Indians as a whole can hardly be called poor" except as they lack ability to utilize their re- sources.

THOSE who are interested in queer judicial tangles will find one in case reported from Osage county, Kansas. A young woman sued her husband for divorce and got it, but after the decree had been granted it was discovered that the husband was not yet of age and therefore could not be sued in a court of law. It is said that the difficulty may be overcome by ap- pointing guardian for the boy and then suing through him.

cur OUT STILtS.

At Tombstone last week the jury
 sworn to try the case of Territory
 vs. Downing, charged with robbing a train at Cochise station, returned 8 verdict of mot guilty" Two important circumstances and con- ditions influenced the jury in this trial and resulted in the verdict t aforesaid, In the first place great difficulty was experienced in, secur- ing a jury who would inf1ict the death penalty for train robbery
 where no murder was committed
 with it, and no doubt after the jury was finally secured, this perplex- ing phase of the question still re- mained and was instrumental in the acquittal of the defendant. The fact Is that members of that jury were firmly convinced that the de- fendant was guilty of train robbery but notwithstanding the Arizona statute making the offense punish able by death, they refused to re- turn verdict of guilty. A jury of his peers refused to begoverned by the statutes and would not inlict the death penalty where no mur- der had been committed If, in robbing the train at Cochise the robbers had committed murder, Downing to-day would have been awaiting the death sentence. Ger tainly here is work for. the next legislature, if train robbers are to be convicted in Arizona. The jury who tried this case was con- posed of representative citizens of Cochise county, whorefused to find a verdict of guilty when it carried with it the penalty of death.
 Then another thing that tended to weaken the evidence for the prosecution was the star witness Billy. Stiles. Stiles, the man who helped hold up the train at Cochise, Stiles, who surrendered to the off cers and turned states evidence, Stiles, who shot a deputy sheriff and assisted Alvord ct al to escape, Stiles, who again surrendered him. self and appeared as the main wit ness against Downing. What weight would Stiles testimony have with an intelligent jury? In our opinion he is the worse crim- inal in the gang and his appear, ance as witness on the side of law and order was fiasco. The present law in Arizona inflicting the denth penalty for train rob- bery whether there was murder committed or not has been proven a failure, and if the prosecution are wise they will not attempt to use MT. Stiles again before another Cochise county jury.
