Our Artists at the Festival.

The Burlington papers speak very high
" of our local artists at the festival last
week. Tuesdays matinee was Vermont
day" and out town furnished three of
the parts. The Burlington News says:
"B. F. Harris OF St. Johnsbury artis-
tically rendered Mendelssohn's Concerto
in G minor, showing good facility of ex-
preston and an excellent style. Miss
Margaret Gorham of st. Johnsbury
rendered some difficult movements with
rare precision and skill in her pleasing
rendition of the "Concertstuck" by
Chaminade. Mrs. P F. Hazen of St.
Johnsbury sang an old aria from the
opera OF "Mitrane," written by Rossi in
1886. Mrs. Hazen faithfully interpreted
the aria in an able scholarly way. One
feature of this selection was the able
orchestration of the aria, written by
Conductor Rlaisdell.
OF Harry H. May, now OF West Con-
concord, the News says: He sang the
popular 'Toreador Hola' in a rich round
baritone which was very pleasing.

davs with another carload of fine bred
Nebraska colts. The carload which was
sold here fair week are breaking in well

colts which were sold in town have been
broken in an unusually short time and
the owner has refused an offer for them

TER FROM THE GENERAL.
Written Eight Days Before His Death
Dark and Miserable Condi-
ton of Beers.

New York, May 24.-General Joubert
on March II. eight days before his death,
wrote a letter to George w. Van Syclen
of this city, in which he said:
"Our small, but noble Christian peo-
pie, are at present in a very straitened.
and I may well say, miserable and ri
condition.
Driven to war. and I may well say,
to a ruinous war, by the presumptuous
and oyerpowering English, our small

and little ammunition. did wonders. with
Gods help. against a vastly greater
force. But the superiority of England
by which h a power a furnish against
our two, three or four cannon, 20, 40 or
even more, and thousands of men
against our 100 or 200. is such that any
one can already ~foretell accordingly; to
human nature what the result must and

fer the graveyard odors Of the past to
the fresh, fower-laden possibilities OF
the future, the return of the silver re-
publicans to the parent party always
will be a source of disgust and a subject
for insult. There is not a silver repub-
lican in the state of Montana who does
not know that if the Billings Gazette a
the regulation of the basis upon which
the party reunion was effected, 1t would
stand at the door of the republican Or
ganization and charge a per capita ad-
mission fee, and pocket the money. In
default of this ability it seems to be ex-
erting itself very diligently in trying to
drive the silver republicans from their
mornings, insult them into a revolt
that would bring hope and comfort to
the disgruntled democracy of this state.

NEELY'S SCHEMES.
Contemplated Purchase Of Isle of Pines,
South of Cuba.

New York. May PA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
One of Charles +. w. Neely's most
important schemes was the contemplated
purchase of the Isle of Pines, south of
which is considered by many to
be a part of the United States terri
tory, according to he treaty of Paris.
Nicely started a company here last fall
for the purpose of obtaining control of
a valuable part of the island, with the
object of colonizing it as a United States
possession. Interested with hin were
Major Laid, treasurer of the island of
Cuba; Brigadier General Caffee, Major
Quicker. Mr.. Hake OF Chicago, and it is
said, many prominent politicians in the
United States. Options were obtained on
10. 600 acres of land and agents were en-
gagged to max the negotiationc for the
majority of the remaining 100000 acres.
Neely's arrest has killed the scheme and
the options expired last week and $1,000
was forfeited. Governor General Wood
has placed two inspectors in Major
Ladd's office for the examination OF the
t~reasurer's accounts.

Those gentlemen who so persistenly
demand a reason from the school board
as to why Mr.. Hendricks was suspended,
made no such demand when MI. Davies
was removed from the position Of libra
rian without any reason having been as
signed therefor. Possibly, h school
board has as many pr%erogatives under
the law, within the sphere of it's activi-
ties, as has the city administration.

is an attack upon a former republican

A EERCENARY MALCOH7EN7.

Republican newspapers Of the type of
the Billings Gazette, under it's new man
agement, is willing to re-admit to the
ranks of the party those silver republic
cans only who confess to rank idiocy in
having championed the cause of free
silver when it was an issue before the
American people. It would have those
republicans who remained true in 1896
to the free coinage doctrine previously
advocated by their party, don sack
cloth and ashes as the price of adm
sion to the party When the issue has dis
appeared. The history of the republican
party in this state shows that up to
1896 it was the advocate and champion
of the free coinage of silver and gold,
and that Carter and Mantle, and every
other prominent member Of that politi-
cal organization, was required to stand
on a platform of that kind. We chal-
lenge the Gazette, or any other political
feeder for the DAILY democracy, to deny
this, or present a ~scintilla of evidence
tina will disprove this fact.
In 1896 those republicans who did not
see fit, as a matter of conscience, to re-
pudiate the previous teachings and dec
larations of their party in his state,
aligned themselves with the free coinage
issue when it became of national i'm
portance. If the republican party in
this state was previously right in it's re-
peated declarations in favor of the white
metal. the silver republicans We're right
Logically, thai question is beyond dis
pute.
But with the free coinage question re-
tired from the list of public issues. for
reasons heretofore enumerated in these
columns, the principles of the silver re-
publican organization fully coincide with
those advocated by the parent party.
The only difference that ever existed be-
tween the two wings of the republican
party, as to governmental policies, rest
ed in the financial question, and with the
uiSdppCdi oiSC VI AA0S on
the free coinage of silver is concerned
the logical trend of politics pointed to a
reunion of the forces.
This reunion was not brought about
through the surrender of any political
conviction as to the rights of silver, or
the part of the silver republicans; and in
persistently insulting that wing of the
party such alleged republicans as tn,
Billings Gazette are doing their utmos
to cripple the strength of the party a
the polls. Old line republicans and sill
yer republicans alike, of the truly pa
triotic type, appreciate the disappear
ance of party differences and the cor
diality of the reunion that has been eff
fected. To u men reunion means
republican victory in November.
But to the snarling. grovelling, snappy
teeth showing political hyenas, who pre-

rye c0vERNCR'S FEELINGS.

According to the newspaper reports.
Governor Smith brought one Of his lava
ladened linguistic philippics in Ogden to
a violent, liver-hued conclusion. anent
the appointment made by Acting Gov
ernor Spriggs, as follows:
The rules governing the transmission
OF language through the mails and the
laws governing the use of language over
the wires prevent me from fully. freely
and properly expressing my contempt
for the trick and tricksters.
When the federal laws interfere with
the right of the governor of Montana to
properly express himself, it is time to
call a halt upon the centralizing. imper-I
ialistic tendencies of the national repub1
lican administration! To compel the,
governor to send his contempt by freight
when he wanted to express it, is an out7,
rage which must be avenged in the
forthcoming campaign! 81
Governor Bob had some things which
he wanted to talk freely about, and
which-as the foregoing indicates-he

guage acquired at distances remote from
good society. His eXcellency seems to
have an idea that the proper way to ex-
press his contempt is to indulge In
obscene language, similar to that with
| which he greeted an Inter Mountain re-
porter. when politely asked for an in
terview; inc his inability to work off a
lot of slop-jar expressions, to show his
feelings in the Spriggs matter, and get
them INTO print, called out his criticism
of the restrictions imposed by the ma
tional regulations affecting the trans
mission of obscene language through the
mails.
Still, his excellency need not have de-
SPARED in the matter of properly eX-
plotting his feelings. The Butte Times
is still issued with more or less regular
ity.

In both law and equity the city has
the worst of it in the controversy with
the county officials. Under the level
headed course pursued by the county
board of commissioners there can be but
one ending to the matters in dispute.
The position taken by Chairman Clark
of that body is unassailable. He is in
the right and the people will sustain him
in pushing matters to a conclusion.
