CUBA As AN ISSUE.

Assisted by a few disgruntled repub-
licans of the type Of Senator Hale Of
Maine, the democrats are making a des-
perate effort to convert the Cuban situ-
alton into a political issue. Forgetful of
the fact that the democrats Of this ma
ton urged federal interference in the
Cuban revolution, and were SO ambitious
for war against Spain that the admin
istration was warmly criticised for de-
lays that were absolutely essential for
preparation for the onslaught, that party
is wholly unwilling to share it's proper
tion of responsibility for the results
growing out of that contest. The events
leading up to American occupancy of
Cuba We're brought about by the tidal
action in behalf of our Antillian neigh
bors.
The close of the war left Cuba in a
chaotic condition, very like the southern
states during the period of reconstruc-
tion. The immediate withdrawal of our
troops was out of the question, and fed
eral sovereignty was necessary for the
protection of life and property until the
prejudices growing out of the war had
mellowed, and self-government had be-
come thoroughly established on the

affairs at any time since the Spanish
evacuation, a flood of anarchy and ruin
would have enveloped the island; and
the constant presence of troops and a
wholesome respect for the strong arm of
the federal government has alone held
the turbulent elements in restraint.
1t requires no effort of the memory to
recall the conditions which prevailed in
the confederate states for a number OF
years after the close of the rebellion. It
was matter of impossibility to imme-
diately adjust public sentiment to the
new order of things, or to reconcile an.
tagonistic forces to the conditions which
the ending of the war brought about

LET MONTANA BE REDEEMED.

While Montana has shared in the gem
eral prosperity that has come to the
country during the past three years, and
tlre hopes of her people have been rebuild
ed upon a more substantial footing than in
the past, it lis plainly in evidence that the
state is suffering irreparably from the
scandals inflicted upon it by the demo-
cratic party. Those who come directly in
contact with business enterprises, involv-
ing the investment of eastern capital in
opening up the resources of our state, or
in the matter of inducing persons to seek
permanent homes within our borders,
keenly feel the effects of the unwhole-
some advertising to which this common
wealth has been subjected
Those who vaguely believe that Mon
tana will profit from the notoriety at
tained make no distinction between a
clean, clear-cut, wholesome reputation
and the noisy notice evoked by the fakir
and the bum. The character of the peo-
pie with whom his citizenship is to be
cast is always matter for serious con-
homeseeker and the possibilities Of the
political situation never fail to appeal to
his intelligence as a man. Montana's s
reputation as rotten borough" has
been thoroughly established from ocean
to ocean, through the efforts of the two
democratic factions in this state to prove

each other in drawing moral conclusions
as to the political corruption which ex-
lists within our borders. The tone of the
newspapers throughout the land leave no
doubt that the American public has
learned to look upon the people of Mon
tana in a political way as comparable

conditions of corruption which exist in
the ring ridden purlieus of great city.

are that Slr. STAN did send to Flat
