BEAR woRsHPERs DECREASING.

The curious Ainu race, which original
w occupied the whole of the island OF
Yezo, is rapidly vanishing before the in
fux of Japanese immigration. Accord
ing to recent Investigations, they now
only number some $4,000, and in a few
more decades they will probably be total
~ absorbed. They are the hardest race
in the world, are filthy in their habits
and terribly addicted to drunkenness
They worship bears and snakes, and in
some cases live in caves like the troglo-
dytes of the Red sea. Their skeletons
have many peculiarities in common with
those of the ancient cav men found IN
European strata.-London Daily Mail.

Hon. Joseph X. Toole has been a cor
poration attorney all his adult life. -Four
years ago he refused to stump the state
for Bryan and free silver because he
was attorney for the Northern Pacific.
He certainly made no speech in Butte.
He is now attorney for the East Helena
Smelling company, the only trust con-
Germ in the state, as it is owned wholly
by the American Lead trust. The only
act of his life against a corporation that
the Inter Mountain knows of was his
veto of a bill extending the life of cor
porations to fifty years. In What way
tina bill was injurious to labor no man
and no newspaper has ever explained.
It was intended to encourage permanent
investments III Montana-only that and
nothing more. Joe Toole's veto of it was
a play to the galleries-it certainly did
no good to anybody, as it was only a no.
tiee to capital that permanent invest
ments were not wanted in this state,
and that no big concerns developing
large mining properties would be al
lowed to issue more than 20-year bonds
In what way did that veto help the
cause Of labor? Perhaps the Butte
Miner can answer that question, Or the
Hon. Joseph K. Toole or the Hon
Judson Ferguson.
If Mr.. Ferguson resigned from thu
! labor ticket in Mr.. Toole's favor because
of the latter's labor record" which con
sists entirely of vetoing a bill which was
designed to bring honey to Montana fol
mining development, then by all means
let it be known that Mr.. Ferguson
actually had a reason for his actor
which may serve as a good enough
Morgan till election day for democrats
But will it go down with the laborins
men? can Judson fool them?

WHERE ARE THESE ITALIAN MIL
LIONS? :

Italy is threatened with n of the
most sensational scandals of h GEN.
fury, a scandal which will attract at
tention fr beyond the borders of his
country.
1t has transpired that the late King
Humbert set aside out of his civil list a
sum OF 5 1000 lire monthly for distribu-
ton among the families of soldiers VINO
died in the national wars. This amount
in the aggregate to some 100000 600 lire
(about E1,500, 00O)
But 1t also transpires that not one OF
the societies which attend to the wants
of disabled army veterans. widows and
orphans of soldiers, ETC., has received a
pennn of this money, while there are
known to be many old soldiers and
patriots in a state of absolute penury.
The explanations of those who have
had to deal with the money are not con-
siderd satisfactory, and an inquiry will
be opened into the matter.-Milan corre-

THE NEXT LIEUTENANT


A mans neighbors are the best judges
of his character. 1t is with pleasure
therefore that we copy from the Alder
Gulch Times the following concerning
Mr.. Alden j. Bennett, republican candi-
date for lieutenant governor:
Madison county is honored by the
choice of one of her sons as the repub-
lican candidate for lieutenant governor,
and Madison county honors the son so
chosen. When Alden J. enn went to
the convention he a no axe to grind.
He wanted not the nomination for lieu
tenant governor. It vas urged that such
a nan as himself, of pure and stainless
character, of great business requirements.
was necessary not only for party success
but for the good of the state, and, while
| yielding to the pressure brought upon
him, it was with reluctance that he ac-
cepted the nomination. What could we
say of Alden ]. Bennett that possibly
could place him in greater esteem with
the voter than he is now held in? We do
! not feel that we have the ability to do
justice to his character To do that 1t
would require the hand of word-painter-
the rugged hand of a Carlyle or the lov-
ing touch of a Hawthorne or of an Irv-
ing. An educated nan he forces his
erudition upon none; a cultured man.
and yet a nan to all men; of an amiable
disposition, just and fearless, he makes
a friend of an enemy. Aggressive in
politics, pure in character, honest in
business, scholarly in his attachments,
the greatest honor in the gift of the state
would be no more han a fitting tribute
to Alden ]. Bennett.

MONDAY, OCT. %, 1900.
THE

Our candid and eloquent young friend,
Major John MacGinnis, in his maiden
speech on Friday night inveighed in
ponderous rhetoric against the ANAL
gamated company. He said it owns no
property and accomplishes 40 good; that
it is a s%oulless monopoly, an octopus and
a trust, and that should he be elected to
the legislature he will assist in the work
of wiping it out of existence.
The majors impetuosity and his zeal
In the public interest seem to have blind
ed him to the fact thai there is already
on the Montana statutes a severe law
against trusts, and that if there has been
official dereliction it has been OF the
part of the democratic attorney general,
Nolan, and the democratic governor,
Smith.
Furthermore, if the Amalgamated
company owns no property, harm
Is it doing? If it has no mines it can
employ no miners, and can therefore rob
no miners of their rights or work them
overtime or coeuce them in politics.
If the Inter Mountain knows anything
abou the Amalgamated it is simply an
association of gentlemen who, having
confidence in the mines of Butte and the
law-abiding character of the people OF
Butte, have bought some shares in a
humble of Butte mining companies.
Some of these gentlemen live in Mon
tana, some in Massachusetts,. some In
New York. Some are interested in other
companies, such as the New York Gen.
trail, Standard Oil n Union Pacific, but
that fact has nothing to do with theil
holdings in Amalgamated, nor does il
make the Amalgamated a New York
Central, or Standard Oil, or Union Pa
cifc concern. Such an argument is alb.
surd on it's face. 1t has been said thai
the Amalgamated Is made up of some

A Campaign Of Principles, Not Men

To those few Jealous and we'll meaning
gentlemen who find fault with the Inter.
Mountain because it is not making a per-
sonal campaign, we would say that the
issues are far too grave and too im-
portant to the welfare of the people to
he robscured by a resort to vi~tuperation
pr personal detraction of any kind. The
prosperity of the state, the enforcement
OF, the law. the security of property ana
1eifonal rights, the "ncouragemen Of
capital, the restoration of the states
good name-these far transcend any per-
sonal issue and call for the most serious
consideration of every patriotic voter.
In this crisis principle is everything,
individuals are nothing. Anarchists are
seeking to gain control of the state ma
ehinery. They are using the democratic
party to accomplish their ends. They
are making war on property. They are
trying to elect a legislature that will
drive out and keep out capital. They are
trying to elect a judiciary which VIII
turn out decisions to order regardless OF
justice or the law. They are plotting to
close down a concern which represents
an investment Of 500, 900, 900 and which
distributes $40, O0o, 900 yearly among the
people. and this on the wreatched
plea that it is a trust and should be
smashed. though the real purpose is to
despoil it of it's property for the benefit
Of its rivals, regardless of the disastrous
and far-reaching effect on business, on
labor, on real estate values and on the
farmers market for what he produces.
1t is a money fight. 1t is proposed to
elect WI United States senator's with
money, to elect a state government with
money to vote thousands of Illegally
registered Noters'and reporters and save
them from the laws clutches With
money. 1t is proposed to hold a carnival
of corruption on election day.
Leading up to this result, a campaign
without parallel in the states history
has been waged. There has been a
deluge of falsehood. The most accom-
plished liars on earth have been import
ed to blacken the reputation of hon.
orable men. The character of even
|. David E. Folsom was not sacred in the
eyes of these hired calumniators. Dema-
gogues nave swarmed the state poison
ing the minds of the people, creating
thrift and enterprise, appealing to the

passions of the ignorant, inventins
canards for the gullible, working on the
sympathies of the humane. They have
dragged the Standard Oil octopus all the
wSy across the continent for use as a
campaign issue, and held it up to
ments. They have waged a campaign of
Misrepresentation, ~vituperation and des>
peration and sought to make Intelligent
men believe their liberties and rights
We're in danger from the republican
party. Yet they themselves were the
men who were plotting against the peo-
pie and contemplating the subversion of
every principle upon which human gov
eminent is based, viz: justice, equality
and security under the law.
In view of these facts. the Inter Moun-
tain has ignored personal issues and APP
pealed to the people to save the state,
to save themselves, to demand law and
order, to protect capital in its rights,
labor in all it's just demands, and men
in every political privilege and to ac-
complish these results by putting the
republican party in power. The demo-
cratic party has been tried and found
wanting. 1t is composed of a feud on
one side and a barrel on the other. 1t
is the instrument of designing men
whose triumph means political dissen-
sion, official infamy, business depres-
sion. public extravaganza and inefff-
cheney, the encouragement of capital, a
decrease in the demand for labor and a
long train of attendant and inevitable
evils.
The restoration of the states good
name and the continuation of it's pros
perity can be secured only by the trf-
umph of the republican party. 1t is con-
nected with no trust. It's candidates are
free from all corporate influence. It's
ways are ways of peace and honor. It's
sole purpose is the peoples good. It's in
SEPARATION is the Declaration Of 1ndepend-
ence; it's flag is the Stars and Stripes.
1t stands by the government at home
and abroad, and it pledges justice and
equal rights wherever it is in power. II
is not the enemy of the poor or the rich,
and can not be used to help the latter
against the former. It's record is known
to all men, and it's hope in the present
campaign in state and nation is thai

LINCOLN AND THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is vastly amusing to hear of some
of the democratic spellbinders telling the
people of Montana hat Abraham Lin
coin was a democrat and that Grover
Cleveland is a republican, and misquot-
ing, garbling and ~misapplying the words
of the martyred president in a lame eff
fort to bolster up Bryan's attacl. on the
American flag and the American army
in the American territory known as the
Philippines.
As a matter of fact, Lincoln was him
self an expansionist. He realized that
at some time it might be necessary to
~colonize the colored race now in this
istration, when called upon for his opin-
ion on the subject of territorial pan
sion, he wrote as follows:
To carry out the plan of colonization
may involve the acquiring of territory
and also the appropriation of money be-
yond that to be expended in the terri
torial acquisition. Having practiced the
acquisition of territory for nearly sixty
years, the question of constitutional
power to do so Is no longer an open one
with us. The power was questioned at
first by Mr.. Jefferson, who, in the pur-
chase of Louisiana, yielded his scruples
on the plea of great e~xpediency. If it be
aid that the only legitimate object OF
acquiring territory is to furnish homes
for white men, this measure effects that
object, for the emigration of colored men
leaves additional room for white men re-
naming or coming here. Mr.. Jefferson,
however, placed the Importance of pro-
curing Louisiana more on political and
commercial grounds han on providing
room for population.
Thus not only was Lincoln himself an
expansionist, but he plainly regarded
Jefferson as an expansionist. Were they
both alive now they would favor the re.
tention of the Philippines on political
n commercial grounds"
Spelbinder Jones and Spellbindel
Major Burke, who are just now spend.
ing some valuable line in discussing ma.
tional issues for the information of Mon
tana voters, are invited to study thu
words Of Lincoln on expansion.
But there are other reasons why W.
should keep the Philippines. They be
long to the United States, whose title, a!

that all republicans are eight hour fepuo-

The of the minority people
in claiming to be any kin of republicans
was generally remarked at the time. Al
though their representatives at the state
convention pledged fidelity to the repup-
lican party regardless of the result of the
| contest, the pledge was Immediately
broken as it was intended to be when
made and the whole precious crew has
worked with the popocrats from that day
to this. There is not a republican among
them. Their organization was a fraud.
Their convention was a fraud. Their
platform was a fraud Fewer than half
a dozen republicans took part in their de-
alterations. Such men as Col. Dolman,
J, e. Richards, George w. Irwin, James
Davidson, John E. Evans, VIM. Gallick.
John Leyson, 7. o. Miles, George Pas
coe, Sewell Davis, Byron Cook and other
old time republicans would have nothing
to do with the outfit. On being exposed
and repudiated at Helena the "delega-
ton" came home and has been working
with the democrats ever since, finally
fusing with them and getting a couple of
places on the fusion ticket after the most
ludicrous grandstand play ever wit
messed. They are all supporting Toole,
democrat, Clancy, populist and Furey
labor party men. Not one of them is sup
porting the republican ticket. 1t is
clear, therefore, that they have M ghost
of a right to be called eight hou repub-
licans and-the supreme court has done
a distinct public service in consigning
the outfit to nameless oblivion.

with sketches of their lives and infor-
nation as to their character and ability.
The republican county ticket stands or
economy, good government and equal
eight hours as a working day in the
mines of Montana and in every hazars-
Gus occupation. 1t pledges an eight
hour day as a matter of right and justice
and as a permanent reform, and not as
a matter of charity for temporary polit-
zeal effect. The republican county con-
vention was the first to adopt an eight
hour plank. 1t was adopted in good
faith and will be carried into effect II
possi BILE. even though all the orpor
tions in Montana might oppose it. we
believe, however, that all opposition to
the reform will soon disappear and thai
it will come to be recognized as a sounG
economic measure, beneficial alike to
employer and employed. Good feeling
between capital and labor Will specify
lead to this concession, unless fusion
demasogues succeed in arraying caplta1

A vote for the republican county
ticket is a vote for eight hours, Tor
