escape the parade grounds of the demo-
cracy.
DON'T C
cracy.

1t is to be regretted that the Butte
Miner has seen fit to feel badly over the
report III a Boston paper that the citizens
of this city wear revolvers in their boots,
frequently knock each other down on the
street, and publicly proclaim their lack
of religion whenever opportunity offers,
and all that sort of thing!
The Mine even goes SO far as to deny
these allegations, n tries to place it's
Boston contemporary in the position of
a falsifier.
But why go to all this trouble over SUCH
a little thing as the statement that we
are all outlaws?
Has it not been pretty thoroughly es-
tablished that from the inception of
statehood the democratic party has had
a campaign fund big enough to pay every
voter in the state a salary for h%urrahing
for Andrew jackson and the cause of
reform?
! Have not thousands of voters who have
to work for a living been compelled to
vote the democratic ticket or lose their
jobs?
Has not every form of political out
lawry, from defrauding the ballot to buy
ing legislative assemblies and securing
ready-nade laws for cash, been ram
pant in Montana whenever the dem
ocracy held the ''top hand" in the affairs
of this state?
Did not the recent investigation in
! Washington prove that this state has the
choicest assortment of all-around perJur-
ers. burglars, violaters of federal and
state laws. writer's of obscene letters.
and other delectable sc~apegraces that
ever went unhung?
If the ranks of our public men and
prominent characters furnish samples OF
this type, who can blame the vivid imag-
nation of the east if it pictures the com
mon herd of wayfarers with revolvers in
their boots, beligerency in their heads
and no religion in their hearts?
There is only one thing for the citizens
of this state to do, if they desire to pro-
tect themselves from the reputation
which the democratic party has giVeI
them.
Let them retire that party from power
and show to the world that outlawry Il
obnoxious to the people, in whatever
form it may present itself.
All the scandals that reflect upon thu
good name of Montana had their incep'
| ton in the democratic party and wer'
: started by democrats. for democrats AM

The lesser Characterization OF our PEG
pie, as having imbibed a spirit OF out
, lawry, comes along in the natural orde'
of things and will continue so long as TIL
;, voters of this state permit the demo
cratic party to rule its affairs and act a

DOE EDUCATION PAYs

After a period of mental repose n
trout fishing, Cleveland has evidently
reached the conclusion that it is about
time for that divinity which is supposed
to shape our ends, according to Shake
speare-and which undoubtedly did him
a number Of good turns in the nick of
time-to resume operations with the
head of the Cleveland family.
Having been given a complimentary de-
gree some years age. in recognition OF an
education he did not possess. the ex-
president now wears the uigniaed title
of doctor before his name. ~ II
He is not a pill doctor, nor would 1t be
! polite. to. say that he is a bad pin. or any
other kind of a pill, but simply q doctor
of laws-most of which he has never OBJ
served very closely.
Through the newspapers and maya
zines, DR.. Cleveland is now slowly but
surely emerging from obscurfty. once
more. and getting ready to have the
lightning strike him at the opportune
moment.
He is not bothering his Patient soul
with political topics at the present tffrie.
having settled nearly all the great prob
lens of government, as we'll as the gov
eminent itself, while in office. 5l
But he is writing IN such subjects as
"Does Education Pay?' 3
He knows that political office pays, and
does not have to raise a question as to a
problem of any kind in that connection.
He is not so sure, however, nat the ed
~ucation which he secured through q com
plimentary sheepskin from the hydro
cephalic head of a cheap institution Of
learning has paid.
If it has paid it certainly has not paid
him. $50. n
Without reading the full text of the
doctors article, or trying in this connec'
ton to answer his question, we would re,
specially refer him to w. j.. Bryan. t.
iSpriggs or to Bob Smith for an answer.
Bryan could tea him whether goins
about the country educating the people
Spriggs could tell him whether acting a!
an acting governor pays anything abov'
the box-ofice receipts, while Bob Smitl
knows better than anybody else whethe
the education acquired on his recent Cal
iforia trip paid. q II
When the fat prophet asks-"Doe
EducationPay ?'-some of his old-tim
friends ought to be able to set his min
at ease on the subject. III

SIXTEEN TO ONE KNOCKED OUT.

The democrats of Indiana and New
York-two of. the important pivotal
states of the union-are preparing to ELI
inmate the Is to 1 issue from the politics
of the forthcoming campaign. In In
diana they declared for gold and silver
and paper money, issued by the govern
ment, but not a word in favor of the
issue of 1896-the free coinage
gramme for the state convention has
been outlined, With David B.. Hin at the
head of the committee on resolutions. 1t
is to-day %nnounc that the ex-senator
will report a declaration in favor of US
ing gold and silver as money-just as
both the democrats and republicans have
always done-but no declaration in favor
of the paramount issue of 1S96-the free
coinage of silver n gold at an estab-
lished ratio of 16 to will be permitted
to creep INTO the platform.
The significance of these movements
should not he lost upon the intelligent
voters of the silver states. They indicate
question of it's vitality. and virtually
place the issue of free coinage ON the
shelf. The Kansas City platform will be
doubtless constructed with a view ITO har-
monizing democratic differences all along
the line, enabling the silver slogan to be
raised in the silver states, through "a fore
ed construction of the bimetallic resolu-
ton, while the democrats of the east will
show that it means precisely what was
meant in the platform of 1892, when the
fat prophet was elected to a career of
universal disaster.
No man who was sincerely for the free
coinage of silver in 1896 can watch these
nlaneuvers to beat around the brush and
juggle with a question of business judg-
ment and individual conscience, without
feeling a wholesome disgust for the
treachery to the white metal which they
Indicate. The inability of the democrati.
party to remain true to the free coinage
ratio for four years illustrates it's in.
ability to carry out its pledges when sue
cessful at the polls.
Bryan is no more highly respected to
day by the wing of the party which i
behind him, and which will nominate hin
ait Kansas City, than was Cleveland b,
the entire democratic party in 1885,
Every man who today vouches for tn
sincerity of Bryan was equally vocifer
Gus in praise of the sterling qualities O
the sage of Buzzard's bay in 1892. N
certificate of character from Democrat
sources can be accorded Bryan whie
was not eclipsed by that worn by the i'm
mortal Grover himself. When this fac
is added to the determination to use tn
silver question as the sleight-of-han
performer uses his apparatus of decep
tion upon the stage, it is time for be

The effect of the British operations IL there

the operations by which the eastern flank will
be cleared depends upon the Roer strength and
their power of counterstroke
Lord Roberts's tactics are ingeniously devised
and offer fine study Of adaptability. He meets
the Beers in their own way, but in superior
strength. Their plan is always to have series
OF commanders in touch with another He

In echelon and outnumbering them at every

Press dispatches contain some interesting
touches, although the fighting has been desul-
