By THE PEOPLE.

In their state convention in Anaconda,
in 1898. the silver republicans of Mon
tana adopted the following resolution
without dissent:
That we believe that United States
senators should he elected by a direct
vote of the people, to the end that merit
rather than money may be Il controlling
factor in the makeup of that important
body We look with humiliation and dis
grace upon the efforts heretofore made to
corrupt the legislative assembly of this
state in the interests, of the ambitions
the political methods which again
threaten a revival Of that era OF bribery,
debauchery and fraud that indelibly
Scared the fair name of our beloved
state at home and abroad.
The legislature subsequently elected by
the democratic party seems to have fully
warranted the forebodings of the silver
republicans. and to have justified their
declarations in favor of electing United
Pile. The struggle made by both wings of
the democracy for first place in the sena-
torial fight led up to, the scanda,izng of
the state and the lasting injury of it's
good name abroad, thus emphasizing the
position taken by the silver republicans
against this method of electing senators.
While the proposed change in the system
may not become a national issue in the
immediate future, the doctrine is gain
ing ground and cannot fail to be
strengthened by the controversy now GO
ing on in Washington. Under the cap
tion, "Disgraceful Senatorial Squabbles. }"
the New York Journal says:
The existing squabble of corrupt and
criminal persons for seats in the congress
of the United States has all the earnest
ness of purpose and passionate disre-
gard for rules that pertains to a dog fight
in the gutter. We would ask every citi-
zen to watch the page of current history
now being written in the capitol of Wash
ington in the hope that he may decide
to avoid all future scenes of this charac-
ter by electing sena tors by direct vote
Senatorial elections have become the
scandal of republican government. The
history of legislative contests for sena-
torships is filled with conspiracies, in
trigues, plots and debasing struggles.
This must be ended. The people may
surely be trusted to choose their own
senators. Corruption canno. work easily
in field the width of state. The whole
people cannot be debauched Therefore
all possible power should be put into
their hands.

If the Inter Mountain is wrong in
drawing a distinction between criticising
man who is officially endorsed by po-
litical party as it's nominee for office.
and rendering newspaper verdict of

fore a court-before the evidence is in
why does not the brainy Standard show
wherein this paper is in error? Undoubt-
edly it is new code of ethics in the
eyes of the Standard, which recognizes
no ethical boundaries in the treatment
of public men which it is bound to re-
spect. But newspapers that are not per-
sonal organs usually respect the distinc-
tions which have been pointed out by the

known to all, spent 70 years of his life
near where he died, on a small farm at
the foot of and between Dale and White

Though 1t ingloriously fled the field
when the Philippine and the silver ques-
tions We're being discussed by the Inter
Mountain, the Standard would now
gladly welcome them back into the arena
or. in fact, any old thing that would
promise relief from it's cramped position
on present questions of interest to the
Montana public.
Daily inter mountain., 1900-02-01

From the Standards cartoon this
morning it appears that that paper is
also working for the publication of Cali
fornia politics. This shows commend
able spirit, for it is said that good deal
of California money has been expended
from time to time purifying Montana
politics in the past
Daily inter mountain., 1900-02-01

Months after it dropped the subject,
the Standard makes the claim that it
used to discuss the Philippine question.
Our contemporary is in error. It merely
abused President Mckinley, Secretary
Alger and General Otis, and lauded
AguinaldO and his cause. It never dis
cussed the Philippine question on its
merits.

:, Whenever the Standard gets too
groggy to meet a live issue face to face
like Geiger's confession. for instance, it
falls into reminiscent mood. It's four

juries have not fully healed.
