Use OF Colonial Troops.

From the comment on the employ
ment of troops from the British colon
les In the war in South Africa, II would
seem that the English papers have for
gotten a good deaf OF history. which
1t would be profitable for them to re-
member The employment Of colonial
troops In British wNs Is no new thing.
During ths seventy-three years from
1880 to 1888. when England was engaged
intermlttently in war with France, and
part Of the time with Spain, troops
from the American colonies were con-
stantly engaged, both az independent
bodies under their own officers. and "a
officers and enlisted men in the regular
British army and navy. During all
az that time, the American coloNes
were thoroughly loyal to the crown OF
Great Britain, and spent their blood
freely in It's defense: rendering services
that have been more appreciated by
historians o. a later day than they were
by the English people at the time.
Young men Of family, in all Of the
American colonies. eagerly sought COM
missions In the British army and navy.

the hundreds, including several OF the
most noted generals. who acquired mil
itary experience IN service under the
British nag during the wars with
France. In proportion to their num-
bers. the people Of the thirteen original
American colonies spent far more free
ly Of their blood and wealth in the
ouarrels Of their parent country than
any OF the modern British colonies have
been called upon to do. and received
far less recognition for their work.
The lack Of recognition of their SER
vices. as well as the persistent sneers
and taunts to which the colonial troops
were treated by the British Officers
under whom they served, was one OF
the minor causes which tended 70
weaken their attachment to the mother
country. gradually wore away their
hereditary loyalty. and made the way
easy for the ultimate throwing of uf
all allegiance.
British officers of the present day
have apparently learned something Of
the proper way of treating colonial
troops. and the warm praise accorded
the Australians and Canadians for their
services IN South Africa contrasts
strongly with the treatment which was
accorded the colonials OF former days
when they fought in the quarrels of
Great Britain.

Among the prominent men Of Helena
who take a very lively interest in the
proposed Rocky Mountain league is w.
p. Philips. president Of the Helena club.
Mr.. Philips Is the man VINO managed to
get the baseball enthusiasts Of Helena
together financially in this matter. In
two afternoons he raised I, 1000, which,
later was augmented by $500 more for
this purpose. Mr.. Philips accompanied
Mr.. Lucas to Butte last night and will
endeavor to assist in the financing Of
the Butte end of the league.

lay, capitalized at $1,000, OF which
amount $500 has been paid in. The
street railway company subscribed for
5000 worth OF stock, and we took no sub
scl.iptiOn for less than $40
- am certainly Of the opinion that the
Rocky Mountain league will be a sue
cess, and Butte cannot afford to stay out
Of 1t. It will be composed of teams Of
the two principal towns Of the two states,

rivalry to give zest to the sport. The sea-

The league would be q mem
Der OF the National association, which
would insure the proper behavior OF the

the completion OF the schedule of games.
This would also prevent players from de-
serting from n club to another. an an

IF Butte decides not to become a
