palmy days of New Netherland. hut 1t
is said that Gov. Roosevelt, in common
with some other people of the metropo-
lis still takes considerable pride in the
sturdy race from which. he draws his
name and some Of his most sterling
qualities. And surely the Dutch of New
Amsterdam were a people that we must
all admire. they were not a race who
came to the unknown wilderness to es-
cape oppression at home, but were i'm
migrants who brought with them to the
new world practical experience in a
country whose political institutions were
freer, and whose traditions of education
and religious liberation were higher than
obtained elsewhere in Europe. They were
Industrious. frugal and. compared with
their neighbors, whether north or south,
rather temperate than given to excess
in food or drink.
Washington Irving's "Knickerbock-
er's history of New York is a classic of
American literature, and a very anus
ing satire. But it is unfortunate that 1t
is so often taken in these modern times
as yeritable history. Mr.. Irving was an
artist but not an historian in respect to
this book. There seems to be no doubt
that the average Dutch resident of New
Amsterdam was rather thinner than the
average Englishman of those days. in
stead of being a stout animal of the di-
mansions of a beer barrel. and of being
one who should be measured about the
body in order to obtain his greatest
height.
But between the Dutch n the Yam
KEGS. particularly in the early days of
this century. and the times of the revo-
luton there was a deep seated prejudice,
and as the New Englanders We're more
prominent in literature. many of the
sterling qualities of the New York Dutch
nave failed to obtain the recognition
they deserve.

TIE WAR is OVER.

The flight of President Kruger of the
practically marks the end of the wal and
the downfall OF his government on
wheels.
1t only remains now for Great Britain
to make arrangement for the peaceful
acquisition 6f Portuguese East Africa,
when her majesty's flag will not only
represent the sole power in South Africa
as far north an the west coast as the
Free State, but it will extend on the east
coast to Cairo, With the exception of a
little French territory.
j" Kruger has brought upon his people
untold hardship and sorrow. The loss
in money can be repaired, but the other
terrible Affections of war a generation
will not suffice to wipe out. The spec
tacle of a people struggling for liberty
is grand at all times if a proper distinc-
tion be made between liberty and a Stub
born and ignorant opposition to advance
ing civilization. The great majority of
the Beers thought they were right and
fought in good faith. Yet Kruger, who
must have foreseen the inevitable result
of a war with SO powerful a nation as
England, and might have averted it
without loss of honor by certain conces-
sions, will have to bear the burden of
responsibility, and his own people will
in time hold him to a moral accountable
ity for his action.
The flight of Kruger, the resignation
and retirement of General Botha and the
proclamation of Roberts that he will
hereafter resort to stern measures to
ppres the rebellion, will bring open
fighting to an end. Guerrilla warfare
will not last long when the Beers find
out that Kruger has taken all the money
with him n is looking out for HIM
self.
The British now have $4,000 Boer pris-
oners. The Beers have 1000 British pris-
oners. The country is devastated and
the people demoralized. 1t will take five
years to restore business to It's normal
condition.

TIE CENSUS OF T

According to the. census returns from
Washington today the population of
Butte is but a little over thirty thou
sand.
That is probably three times the
alleged population of Helena but there
is no consolation in that fact any more.
Had the census enumerators found fifty
might have gone unchallenged, as ten
thousand either way would not make
much difference. But thirty thousand
that is too vast an underestimate. There
are today within a radius of two miles
of the Butte court house $4,000 people,
According to the city directory returns
there are 60, 900 in Butte and it's adjacent
villages. The boundary lines of Butte city
proper do not contain the most popu-
lous part of the territory denominated
Butte. Yet within the lines defined
by law there are not less than $1,000 peo-
pie and any census that reduces the
number to so, 900 is a farce. That is the
consensus of opinion.
The people of Butte would prefer not
to be informed who is responsible for this
so-called census. They do not wish to
kill anybody. Besides many of the
erumerators are married and Governor
| Richards is a we'll meaning man. Per-
haps the government is responsible for
having restricted the expenditures. Per-
haps the people are responsible, thou
sands of them must have lodged the
census gstherers or left town during the
period of enumeration.
1t is a great outrage regardless of the
question of responsibility. Butte will
figure on the maps, in the official rec
ords and in the minds of the people of
| the country as a town of 10000 people in
stead of a metropolis of $4,000. There
We're 10000 people here ten years ago.,
but owing to the fact that the city
boundaries took in only half the popu-
lation we received credit for only one
half our just deserts.

GIVE ROOSEVELT WELCOME.

1t is a pitiful n shameful thing that
the democratic press of this state
is reduced to the necessity of misrepre-
senting the facts Of history in order to
make an attack OIL the republican candi
dacy for the vice presidency.
The particulars of the battles in the
lSgion of Santiago during the late Span
ish war are familiar to every citizen and
every s~chooIboy in the land. The part
borne by the valiant rough riders among
whom Theodore Roosevelt served as an
officer. the charge up the hill at the bat
tie of Ell Caney, the fact that Roosevelt
while leading his men had a horse shot
under him but continued to lead the
charge afoot. shouting to his brave boys
to give 'em -" these facts are we'll
remembered. Others deserved credit for
that brave plunge UP to the rifle pits of
the enemy and Roosevelt always gave it
to them fully and fairly. His own con-
duct. however, was splendid. 1t was an
inspiration to every soldier. an example
to every.American youth. The American
press was enthusiastic in his praise. The
Hearst newspapers and the New York
World immortalized him in ink and in
prose and verse and in pictures, with true
American pride. told the story OF the
rough riders and their gallant COM
lander.
Since the presidential campaign opened
the liars have been at work and Roose-
welt has been accused of doing every
thing from hiding behind a tree to shoot
ing a wounded Spaniard in the back. He
does not dignity those stories with a de-
NAL. nor does the Inter Mountain. We
egret only that an American newspaper
should traduce a soldier of the union.
misrepresent his conduct on the battle
field and challenge his courage and gen.
crosby. When an American volunteer in
defense of the flag takes up arms and
charges upon the enemy that minute he
becomes a hero and should be immune
from attack in the rear at least by those
who stayed at home and and fought their
country's battles with a typewriter.
Roosevelt is the guest of the west. His
sympathies are with the west. He has
lived among our people. He has helped
fight their battles in war and is ready
to help fight them in the halls of legis-
laticn. For the honor of Montana we
bespeak for him kindly, courteous and
hospitable treatment. On one issue
alone, that of finance, are his views at
fected by eastern conservatism: on all
others he is thoroughly western. In big,
open-hearted Butte let him have a west
ern welcome.

II

In these months of political excitement,
some of the most conspicuous scientific
efforts of the race do not receive the at
tention that would be given in calmer
conditions. A few years ago, not his ma
tive country alone, but the scientists and
the people of Europe and America went
wild over the great achievement of Frid-
tjof Jansen. The return of the Italian
Prince Luigi Almedeo. who reached a
point about nineteen miles nearer the
North Pole han did the author of Far
thest North" Is scarcely noticed except
in scientific circles. Yet it deserves rec
ognition and calls attention to the efforts
that ave been made. and that are now
making. to solve the mysteries of the
Arctics.
Beginning with the long series of at
tempts to find a short northwest passage
from Europe to China n the East In
dies, there have been somewhere
one hundred and one hundred and fifty
distinct expeditions into the Arctic re-
gions. Many of these a had for their
object the discovery Of the northwest
passage. some lave tried to reach the
Pole. n others have been mainly in
tended to rescue the survivors of expe-
ditions that have been lost in northern
solitudes. But all have had a part In
solving the great problems that confront
the student of science, and such knowl-
edge, directly or indirectly, in the long
run, rebounds to the benefit of the hui
man race.
At the present time the expedition of
Peary seems to be the most scientifcal-
ly planned and carefully executed of any
that lave ever been attempted. We are
looking for great results from this, and
when the record is published we shall
have. besides an interesting popular mar
rative, a mass of information, geologic,
geodetic, geologic. and rich in the prob
lens of physics. chemistry and magnet
ism. as we'll as valuable additions of
speciments to the great collections of the
country.
While the North Pole has been fairly
besieged by valiant seamen and erudite
scholars, the South Polar regions have
been comparatively neglected. A revival
in this direction, however. is now APP
parent. This year there are no less than
three distince expeditions that sail to
Antarctic seas for scientific knowledge.
Inc 1eTIldllS, uIlueT lHe leducISLlp VI
Professor Erich Won Drygalski, will en-
ter the Antarctic circle from the Indian
ocean; the English under Lieut.. Scott,
from the Pacific; and the Scotch, led by
w. S. Bruce. from the South Atlantic.
Many scientific problems will be consid-
cred by each of these expeditions, but the
main information sought by the Germans
and English is magnetic, while the Scotch
are investigating physical and biological
oceanography and geology and meteoro-
logy.
While the Pole seems to be the goal of
all attempts in the north, the South Pole
is not yet avowed as the destination of
any party. Explorers have come within
three or four degrees of ultimate north
but the South Pole is still about twenty
degrees away from the farthest south
ern point reached, and much remains to
be accomplished before a real South Po-
lar expedition will be seriously consid-
cred.

Inc enllfe NUMBER or men employed
is 142, APO. The most startling and sug-
gestive feature of the above figures, how
ever, is the showing that the average
amount paid per month is only $50, for
men and boys together. We do not know
the proportion of men to boys, but the
fact hat human beings are working for
such a miserable p%ittance is almost be-
yond conception. No wonder the coat
barons ave no public sympathy in this
strike. No wonder they are denounced
as hogs in human form by all right
thinking men. That UGH creatures are
allowed to get rich while coal miners
work for starvation wages shows the
strike is justified as far as the miners
are concerned. They will win because
they deserve to win. 1t is not a matter
of politics. The strike would not have
been avertea had any other man been
president of the United states. The laws
are not responsible. Statutes can not
make decent men of such Wretches as
own the coal mines, but the miners are
likely to make angels of some of them
before they get through.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS THIS
49, -. !. YEAR : ~ -. ---

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat re-
marks that in the ringing declarations
of principles ADOPTED by republicans
last week in several state conventions
the country can see outlined the basis
of the coming national campaign. The
party has distinct issues and states
them without reserve. It is also n
tirely harmonious and zealously pre-
pairing everywhere for the coming %
test. There is no need to reafirm the
platform of four years ago. It is now
history. The promises made in 1896
are now laws, accomplished facts. The
gold standard is defined and protected
by statute. Every dollar OF American
currency must measure up to it. Cuba
has been freed from the foreign OPP
preston that disturbed and injured this
nation. Prosperity is at high tide and
mounting upward. Work is abund-
ant and wages good. Hawaii is an
nexed. The republican party, in
trusted with power, has scrupulously
redeemed its pledges. 1t considers
it's platforms binding and has the capa-
city as well as the will to carry them
into effect. When the party there,
fore comes together anew to define it
self on national questions the people
realize that work for the historian is
again in hand.
When the republicans of Ohio, Indi-
n Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Mas
sachusetts, in state conventions as
sembled, put forth their platforms in
a single week the main keynotes are
unauestionably sounded. These doc
uments are now before the country.
There is no Earring sound, no differ
ence of opinion as to national duty at
the present time. The administration
is most cordially sustained. Its arduous
patriotic labors have been crowned
with the results desired. Every word
of the treaty with Spain is approved.
The sovereignty~as conferred upon us
in the Philippines and Puerto Rico will
be retained. Civil responsibility will
be extended to the Inhabitants OF the
islands as fast as they can discharge
its obligations. If any of the new
possessions are to be given up some
other party must conduct the surren-
der. Republican platforms announce
with absolute directness that it is the
purpose to keep the new territory. Its
future treatment will rest. as the Ohio
platform says, on the principle II
