parture Is a great Improvements. At least
during the journey. and their residence
in their home of exile. the offenders will
not be compelled to associate with the
lowest crimina GLASSES as has been the
case hitherto. 1t may also be reasonable
to suppose that the small number trans
ported each year will not be subjected
to the unnecessarily severe physical dis
comforts that have been their lot in times
past. Yet as long as the system exists,
1t is subject to abuse. While for some
years past, there have been but a hun
dred persons annually so sentenced,
there is no assurance that this small
number will not be Increased. And such
a punishment for a difference of opinion
is utterly at variance with the spirit Of
the age. and indicates that Russia is still
IN the dark ages, so far as any apprehen-
sion OF the principles Of political ethics
Is concerned.
Ihere is no question that a govern
ment acts only in harmony with public
sentiment, in considering treason as a.
capital crime and inflicting the appro-
PIRATE penalty. But a definition Of trea-
son that requires the arrest n condem-
nation. of a hundred persons a year is not
to be thought of, nor can an offense be
considered treason. if it is allowable to
distribute the guilty persons among new
populations. where they cannot be ex-
pected to reform, but where their iniu-
ence must be pernicious.
Furthermore, not political ~offenses only
are condemned, but those that are OBJ
noXious to the established church., and
such difference of religious opinion is no
longer a reason for judicial punishment
in n civilized country.
Yet after everything is said, the edict
of he car is one of the great events
of the year. Nay, more. 1t is one of the
great events of his reign. BY it's side,
even his call to an International peace
conference, sinks into insignifcance. But
edict shows lis that the autocrat Of the
Russias can be influenced by the opinion
of the world. For the edict Of June 1925
Is a concession to International senti-
ment. That NJ. Solomon says that the
practice has never had the approval of
the ruling classes of Russia, that it was
condemned by ministers Of Nicholas I,
and that it was nearly abolished by
Peter the Great, and later by Catherine
IL, does not Interfere with his view.
If such a monstrosity has ever been
seriously considered and yet has con-
tinued to exist. it is more of a criminal
act than II it had ben utterly ignored.
1t also makes the action Of the ruler who
takes the first step towards reform, the
more important.

on the Columbia, and the temper of the
proposition was accepted as promptly as
1t was made, and one occasion of dispute
between the two countries was settled
forever.
The northwest boundary was finally
fixed at the f%orty-ninth parallel, and to
determine why this happened to be
chosen takes us back a step further.
Among he reasons on account of which
the United States made claim to the Ore
son country was a p%retense. that it was
included In the Louisiana purchase. It is
probable that 40 one of our own states
men ever seriously believed this part of
the argument. 1t is certain that Jeffer-
son did not. The country that constitute

Such was purchased from Spain, consist

allel as the dividing line between the
United States and the British possess
sions, so far as applied to the region be-
tween the Lake of the Woods and the
summit of the Rocky mountains.
The real ground of the claim of the
United States to Oregon was first the
right of discovery, and then the right
derived from colonization. These were
the only reasonable grounds, and they
Were sufficient. But having brought the
Louisiana purchase into the controversy
1t was natural that when a compromise
was determined Upon, the bound " all

ONE PARTY L

1t is fortunate for the republicans of
Silver Bow county that they are united
and harmonious. I@Gt
Other parties are torn asunder by dis
sensions, divided into hostile factions
and struggling for individual preferment.
Tae democracy is divided squarely in
two, each half denying the legality of
the other half. The populists, though
apparently agreed on fusion, will not
solidly support it. the Hogan men stand
ing wi for Independent action on prin-
ciple. The new Labor party, which last
night nearly absorbed and obliterated
the fusion democracy. is also divided. for
the rank and file naturally wonder why
a new party just organized to oppose all
other organizations should in one short
week abandon it's principles and coalesce
with its enemies for the sake. Of a few
offices.
1t seems that the dominant faction in
of the delegates of each, are in favor of
a division of the nominations; but that
in each there is a large contingent stand
ing out for principle and determined not
.f9f
to be whipped into line. nj
Fortunate, indeed, are the republicans,
therefore, in having a united party and
in being able to say to their split-up OPP
ponents: =
IaL
Gentlemen: Personally we wish you
no harm, but in view of your distracted
condition we rejoice that there is one
party pledged to law and order, to eight
hours, to good government, to impartial
Justice, to state and national prosperity
party with we'll defined principles,
and not a hodge-podge of conflicting; de-
mands. Let us have a fair election, let
us maintain pleasant relations between
capital and labor, let us amend the laws
affecting the rights OF labor if they are
defective, let US present our platforms
and candidates to the people and let The
people choose between us at the pors.".
Such are the sentiments of the repub-
licans.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1900.
THE PRoDIGAL's RETURN.

This is a free country and all men
fusion parties and to indorse platforms
that mean nothing, if SO disposed.
1t looks queer hat two political parties
like the populists and labor party should
first desert the democracy and then, hav
ing organized two opposition parties. go
back to the arms of the democracy for
the sake of a few offices.
Yet that is what has happened. Most
of the popu,tsts and most of the labor
party were democrats. They could no
longer affiliate with the democracy. SO
organized parties of their own Having
done that. they call conventions and i'm
mediately fuse With the old party and
divide up the offices.
What have they gained? What prin-
cip!e have they indicated? How can
they reconcile their actions and their
co~nsciences?
If these men We're Disguised with the
democratic party and left it, why do they
go back on the first opportunity? What
object does the qualification accomplish ?
The democratic party is certainly no
better than it was, and would be worse
If it could; so why do the men who left
1t in disgust go back to the ranks and
allow themselves to- be ''taken in" with
the zeal of new converts? 1t is we'll
enough to call it fusion, but it is democ-
racy and for the sole benefit of democ-
racy and nothing else.
As Lincoln said: 'For people who like
that sort of thing, that is the sort of
thing they like

The labor party men who fuse with the
democracy simply become democrats and
cease to be labor party men,. If the de-
mocracy had sympathy for labor there
was no need for a labor party. If it
had no sympathy for labor it's fusion
with the labor party would not change

NEW YORK, Aug. although the stock
market exhibited considerable strength
during the forenoon, the dullness of specu-
lation was pronounced and the develop
ments of the week have utterly failed to
stimulate outside interest. The market,
at times. was narrow to the point of stag
nation, and the pursuit of eighths and
quarters by room traders is now harder
than at any time for more than two years.
Very little heed was paid to the expec-
tations that the bank statement tomorrow
would be favorable. The only exception to
an otherwise strong opening was Balti-
more and Ohio common, which showed
signs Of heaviness on expressions of opin-
ion to the effect that the directors took
a very sanguine view of the situation when
yesterday they declared dividends on COM
mon for year instead of six months.
Another Interpretation was that the ac-
ticn in question was based on desire TO
discourage some members of pool in the
stock who had been predicting dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. 1t
was officially explained, however, that the
charter of the company requires full per
cent dividends on the preferred stock in
any fiscal year before the common re-
ceives anything II a . per cent semi
. annual on common has been declared moth
ing could be declared until the full fiscal
year had passed.
When this explanation spread abroad the
tendency to decline by Baltimore and Ohio
common was checked. Union Pacific was
active and strong on the opening on good
buying
Among the industrials Anaconda was the
leader in ;aofuf 1f gain and advanced | rs

inspired by the strong copper situation.
Sugar did not hold its early improvement,
fiuctuating within that limit during the
forenoon. The steel and tobacco stocks
were fat and neglected and new reports
were circulated of revival of competition
for Continental Tobacco.

Wheat and Corn Rule Lower, With
Oats steady.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Wheat ruled lower
yesterday and today on weakness in corn
