SENATOR STEWART OF NEVADA.

The return to the republican party Of
as an object lesson to all men who have
till this time believed the democratic
party intended to do anything for silver.
In the United States senate Stewart has
for fifteen years been the lead of the
silver forces. Though originally a strong
republican he left his party some years
ago because of it's attitude on the free
coinage issue. His return shows that he
sees no hope for the white metal in the
democratic ranks. The example of such
a firm friend of silver will not fail to ex-
ert a powerful and immediate effect upon
the minds of those who have followed
and Endorsed his public career. Having
the utmost confidence in his ability and
discernment they will not hesitate to fol-
other happy result likely to follow his
return to the old party will be the dis
Indignation of the Silver party of Ne
vada, which was organized to elect Stew
art some years ago ana Wnlcn Aeau the
balance of power in the Sagebrush state.
The natural result of such disintegratiOn
will be the triumph of the republican
party in that com monwealth. Nevada is
rich in lead mines and has a large num-
Der of sheep n cattle raisers who are
naturally republicans. Besides, it's peo-
Pile, in sympathy with those of Califor-
are enthusiastic ~e.pansionists. For
these reasons and because of Senator
Stewards timely letter, Nevada is no
longer in the doubtful list and may be
safely added to the Mckinley states.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

It will be time enough to shout "cor-
it shall appear in sight. The best way
to prevent it is to send only the best
men to the state convention, men whose
characters are above suspicion of servi-
tude to any man Or any corporation,
men who will talk and vote for I'M
trameled action, men who will insist on
nominating a state ticket that shall
represent the independence, patriotism
and intelligence of h party, men who
will not denounce one corporation and
put on the collar of another, men who
"know their rights, and, knowing, dare
maintain" With such republicans max
ing up the body of the next state con-
vention there will be no corporate dicta-
ton, and it will readily appear to all
observers hat the present alarm is
false and fraudulent, and is sounded
only for the purpose of driving good
republicans into the democratic ranks.
The republicans of Montana, if fairly
represented in the Helena convention,
will ave the party's future in their own
hands, n may nominate such a ticket
that all talk of corporation dictation will
disappear from the scene and leave not
| a rack behind. It is only men who
themselves want unlimited power who
are raising the cry against those who,
possibly, would like the same thing.
The republican party, however, will
treat them all alike n give special
aVorS to none.

THE INTER MOUNTAIN EXCUR-

The Inter Mountains grand Yellow
stone Park excursion came to a success
full close last evening on the safe return
of the nine young ladies whose popularity
with the u clippers esulted in their
election. Under able n experienced
guidance, furnished by the Inter Noun
tain, the party toured through the park
for a week in stylish and comfortable
vehicles, stopped at the best hotels and
finally reached the Yellowstone lake,
where the genial and omnipresent Col.
Waters, who is himself one of the WON
ders of Wonderland, gave his fair guests
a moonlight boat ride with the sweetest
of music and the daintiest of refresh
ments. After that the party regretfully
came home arriving in good condition ow-

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

1t will be time enough to attribute to
the republican administration at Wash
ington the losses in the Philippines when
it can be demonstrated that they would
not have occurred under democratic
rule subsequent to the passage of the
treaty. The moment the treaty was
ratified by the senate the government
of the United States assumed a solemn
obligation to restore order in the Philip
pines and compel recognition of Amer
lean sovereignty. 1t made no difference
what political party was in power. If
Bryan himself had been president, the
same duty would have been imperative.
The only difference would have peer
that the democrats instead of bowling
'militarism'' and tyranny would have
sNtolled the patriotism of the party in
power n compared Bryan to a mod
ern C~incinnatus.

HUNTINGTON ON LABOR.

Now that Coils p. Huntington is
dead. his virtues are being discovered.
He is receiving credit now for paying
on his road the highest wages in the
United States, and for making employ
ment for an army of fifty thousand
nature. II was quick to note the differ
ence between a trustworthy and indus
trious man and one h was too proud
or too lazy to work. On the subject of
inal views. and once wrote to the New
York Sun a letter on the subject of
Markham's poem. "A Man With the
Hoe" the spirit of which he detested be-
cause it conveyed the impression that
work is undignitied. An excerpt from his
letter follows:
Either the Man will the Hoe is q
type of the great mass of those who
use farming implements for a living,
or else he is an exception. II the latter,
then the strength of the sentiment ut
tered lies in the concealment of it's
weakness; and. if the former, then the
poem does wrong to a most respectable
and able-bodied multitude of citizens,
every one of whom ought to resent Mr..
Markham's attempt to throw the empti-
ness Of ages in his face" and certainly
deserves better of the poet thai to be
called a 'monStrous thing and brother
to the OK.
What about the mar without the
hoe? he who cannot get work., Or having
the opportunity to abor, won't do it?
There are thousands of young men in
Att ~,.-k .l- 1---
up to the point where the honest and
healthful occupation of their fathers
in the field has become distasteful to
them, and in many cases they have
grown to be ashamed Of it and of their
parents. In European countries, par
ticularly, there are m~ultitudes of young
men,, the younger sons of titled people,
for instance, who LAY been taught that
common labor or work in the trades
is beneath them. They must have
money, but they must earn it only In
a 'genteeT way.
"These are the men without the hoe
the real brothers of the OK. Who shall
tell their story? Who shall best sing
the bitter song of the incapables who
walk the earth, driven hither and thith-
err like beasts by the implacable senti-
ment of a false social education, suffer-
ing the tortures of the damned and
bringing distress upon those dependent
on them because they have lost that
true independence of soul that comes to
him who dares to labor with his hands,
who yields the hoe and is the master
Of his destiny?"

DUTY OF BUSINESS MEN.

Business men q ften complain that the
nominees of local political conventions
are not representative citizens, that they
are not qualified to perform public du-
ties and that the ineficiency or dishon-
esty in the public service is the fault of
this or that political party.
Not SO. The ia it is with the business
men in a large degree. If they would
only attend the caucuses and primaries
and see that the delegates selected are
intelligent men, good citizens and re-
sponsible tax-paying republicans, there
would soon be an end of the trouble
complained of. The nominees for office
would be capable and honest men who
would perform tn cir duties with zeal and
in that way keep down taxation and in
sure the laws en- forcement.
Tonight the ~ publican caucuses DC
cur. Let the bu siness men attend, let
them put themselves or other business
men on the ticket in fair proportion. Then
we shall have a representative nve
ton, a fine list of delegates to Helena
and county and state tickets of which
the people may be proud.

"COPPER"" THE COPPER ORGAN.

The sudden interest Which the Anacon-
da Standard takes in the republican par
ty has a suspicious look to those familiar
with the sinuous policy of that able and
amiable journal. Whenever the Stand
arde displays republican symptoms some
ocracy. Just now that paper is greatly
concerned lest the republicans nominate
certain members of the late legislature
for state offices. The Standard should
in it's own ranks than the men it alludes
to. Our Anaconda contemporary should
devote some space to its own roubles.
There are plenty of men in the democrat
ic ranks who have been promised various
kinds of pie and lone yeoman service to
deserve it. There is Congressman Camp
bell, for instance, who devoted nearly all
his time during the last congress to a
painstaking attempt to neglect his Off
cha duty and conduct one end Of a fac
tional row which did not come within
his duties as representative in congress
from Montana. Is the democratic party
going to ignore him? Will the Standard
allow him to be ignored?
There is State Treasurer Collins, who
spent nearly three months in Washing
ton while neglecting his duty as state
treasurer at home. Does not such a SOW
ereign contempt for official responsibility
| deserve the Endorsement of a renomlna-
ton?
|. There is Governor Smith, who, under
oath to perform his duties as chief ex-
ecutive of the state, also spent most OF
! the winter in Washington without turn
| ing into the state treasury the salary
which during that period he did not earn.
| Not only was he absent from his post but
| the acknowledgements also was absent,
| and only the president of the state SEN
ate, a man whom the people never in
] tended should be governor, had charge
! of the ship of state. Does the Standard
propose tina such dere1icrion shall go
unrewarded? Does it not fear that the
new democracy will overlook Robert B.
unless he shall be set UP In blue chips
] Immediately in the columns Of that pa
per.
And what of General Nolan, who car
ries around with him the brains of the
faction he travels with? His devotion
to the fortunes of the Standard wing has
had a bad effect on his law practice and
common gratitude demands that he be
recognized. What does the STANDARD
propose to do with him?

GENERAL LAWToN's LETTER

49, 1E
The Inter Mountain once more invites
the attention of loyal Americans in Mon
tana to the letter written by General
Lawton in the Philippines to ex-Minister
John Barrett on the subject of the pro-
longation of the rebellion in Luzon and
the responsibility herefor. 1t is as fol-
lows:
II would to God hat the truth of this
whole Philippine situation could b.
known to every one in America as I know
it.
IF the real history, inspiration and con-
ditions of this Instruction, and the in
%f1uences, local and external, that now en-
courage the enemy, as well as the actual
possibilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great East,
could be understood at home, we would
hear no more talk of unjust shooting of
government into the Filipinos, or of
hauling down our flag in the Philippines.
eff the so-ealled anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground and not in distant America, they,
whom I believe to be honest men and mis-
informed, would be convinced of the error
of their statements and conclusions and
of the unfortunate effect of their publica-
tions here.
eff I am shot by a Filipino bullet, it
might as we'll come from one of my own
men. because I know from observations
confirmed by captured prisoners that the
continuance of fighting is chiefly due to
reports that are sent out from America
It seems strange that men who have
read that letter should still insist upo
charging the administration at Washing
ton with responsibility for the loss of blood
and treason incurred in putting Town q
rebellion on American territory where
~treacherous Tagals are only waiting fol

every white man and woman and every
loyal native on the island. Bryan says

made the political mistake Of his Hfe
by aocepting Q worthless and illegal
nomination for the senate and sacrificed
the friendships of a lifetime on the altar
OF ambition. Surely the Standard Ices
not propose that Mayor Maginnis shall
be ignored by the next state conve ! ion
or the next legislature?
In view, therefore, of the Standards
obligations to the gentlemen above named
why does that paper persist in Offering
advice to republicans.
Is that The way the Standard proves it
fidelity to the democracy?
The Inter Mountain takes pleasure in
assuring the Standard that the repub-
lican party will make no mistake and
that 1t really does not need democratic
advice. Some UGH man as General Kes-
sler. David Folsom, A. l.. Babcock, b. F.
White. John Power, b. p. Carpenter, Il.

troll the republican convention. 1t will
