only be accounted for on the theory that

Attorney General Nolan has decided
that a woman is not eligible to the office
of county attorney in Montana. It is
not so very long ago since woman ran
for the Office of attorney general in Mon
tana and came near being elected. She
finally married the man who beat her
but from that it is not to be assumed
that he beat her after they were mar
ried. He beat her at the polls and by
way of making his victory the more
complete, she married him. It is hardly
likely the Miles City aspirant for the
honors and emoluments of the county
attorneyship had in view the possibility
of winning husband in case she lost
the office. However, as her opponents in
the Custer county race would likely be
1. j. Porter and Sydney Sanner, both
very eligible and good tempered bach
elors, it might be suspected that the
Miles City lady's candidacy is in the
nature of proposition to either of the
two gentlemen named to get her out of
the way with proposal of marriage.
II this was her purpose Nolan's decision
is bad. Both Porter and Sanner should
have been married long ago, and any
proposition looking to their inveiglement
into the matrimonial net should be en-
couraged on grounds of public policy.

The Chinese Situation.

There would seem no longer any rea
son to doubt that the present situation
in China is the outcome of determine
ton to recover the control of their own
affairs which has been gradually slip
ping out of the hands of the Chinese
since the middle of the century, and it
IS, moreover, now quite evident that that
determination is, in the widest sense of
the term, national one. The reports
coming in from all parts of the Empire
show that it only requires word from
the controlling power to make the con-
hapratlon general but the word will not
be given until the concentration of
troops and war material at certain i'm
portant points now actively going on is
completed. That, according to trust
worthy information, will require some
little time yet Meanwhile, as the time
for action approaches the signs nf dis
cord among the various Powers increase,
the aims of some of them being incom-
patible with the views of others. The
British Government in bringing into
Parliament at the present juncture bill
prohibiting the export of arms and war
material, in which, Mr. A. j. Balfour,
speaking on behalf of the Government,
significantly pointed out that coal was
included, makes it evident that the gen
eral situation is uncertain, and tnat the
British Government is preparing for
emergencies, otherwise it would not have
gone SO far in interfering with the course

reason for leaving it as unrestricted as
possible.

The News says that the Bees state
ments concerning it's circulation may bt
taken "at their face value" and in thai
statement it gives us the greatest pleas
ure to heartily coincide. The Bees
statements concerning its circulation OF
anything else may be taken at their face
value as readily as a twenty dollar United
States gold certificate. Both are just
exactly as represented. But the Bee
knows from experience that it is well to
discount the circulation or other state
ments of the News about eighty per cent
on their face value. Does the News
want the proof? The Bee will be glad
to furnish it in the handwriting of the
News own bookkeeper if the News will
say the word. The Bee regards this
documentary evidence as privileged and
does not feel at liberty to give it to the
public unless the News is perfectly
agreeable.
AS for the assertion of the News that
nobody pays for the Bee, there is ample
evidence to the contrary throughout this
county. There is some in Libby if the
News will take the trouble to look for it.
If the News is willing the Bee will give
the amount collected on subscription in
two years by the News, on the authority
of the News bookkeeper aforesaid, and
then show that the Bee collected con
siderably more in the first six weeks of
its existence. Are you willing, Mr.. News?
The News will be we'll advised if it goes
slowly in clubbing any other newspaper
"a gift enterprise" The Bee is amply
able to prove. on the authority of the re-
puted owner of the News himself. that
in the early days of the News it's agents
were authorized to give receipts for five
years subscription without receiving a
cent, in order to get people to take it.
The Bee will not deny that it is circu.
lating large number of copies gratis.
That is the ordinary practice of every
newspaper in the first few months of it's
existence. It is for the purpose of let
ting people get acquainted with the new
aspirant for their favor. It is perfectly
legitimate newspaper practice. It is an
invitation to subscribe and the Bee,is
more than gratified by the way it's invi-
5ations, SO extended, are being accepted.

ADLAI E. STEVENSON
OF ILLINOIS

In DELAWAkE The wilmington
AND (Del) Evening jour
IN MONTANA. nal has something t
say about the aspirations of J. Edwar,
Addicks to represent Delaware in tn
United States senate. Addicks is some
times referred to as the Delaware Clarl
because his political methods and thos,
of Montana Clark are very similar. Their,
are only two points of difference ane
neither of them are essential. Clark ha.
a great deal more money than Addicks
and claims to be democrat, while Ad
dicks is republican. The Wilmington
Evening Journal is also republican, bu,
it has no use for Addicks. It points out
that Addicks, as the exponent of bribery
is more vital issue than any other in
Delaware. Substitute CLARK" for "Ad
dicks and the Journals views apply
with equal force to Montana.
Here in Montana there is no division
of sentiment among democrats on ma
tional or state issues. The sole trouble
is that w. A. Clark has become imbued
with the idea that the democratic party
of the state exists for the sole purpose of
electing him United States senator
and that he can disrupt and wreck it
and threaten it's very existence in his
efforts to coerce it into an acceptance of
his leadership.
Democrats of Montana have higher
conception of the duties of their political
organization and even the bare sugges-
ton that the party be made the play
thing of man who is eaten up by a
senseless ambition, is an insult to their
intelligence. Clark stands between
democracy and success. Nothing else
intervenes. We can understand why he
should do it, for he is the constant foe of
democracy and political decency; but
why any Montana democrat who holds
his party as having higher purpose
than to pander to the vanity of an indi
vidual whose only claim to distinction is
the possession of immense wealth, should
stand behind him and bolster him up in
the assistance he is rendering to the re-
publicans in this campaign, is beyond
human comprehension.
If the republicans of Delaware feel
impelled to fight Addicks at any cost as
matter of individual and party honor
how much more are self respecting dem
ocrats in Montana justified in fighting
Clark. Addicks has not brought nearly
the disgrace upon Delaware that Clark
has brought upon Montana.
When men like Addicks and Clark
raise their heads in politics they become
the paramount issue, and it is time for
self-respecting voters of all parties to get
together and destroy the common enemy.
Party policies are of little Importance
compared to the issue between bribery
and decency, between truth and false
hood. Clark has been convicted as a
briber and perjurer and the question
is: Are the people of Montana going to
indorse Clark and his methods?

Maine Railroads.

The reports of the railroads for the rail

now coming forward. They show as far as
received increased prosperity on the part of
the steam roads with few exceptions
Especially have the large corporations pros

in freight and passengers. The Wiscasset
Il Quebec continues to be losing piece of
property In several instances electric
roads which have been running for term
of years, show falling off in earnings for
numerous, and are an important factor in
the development and progress of the State.
OF the W. 4 Q. road, which has passed into
the hands of its bond holders, it is said that
it again fails to pay operating expenses.
Although its gross earnings were SlS,979.2 %,
its operating expenses amounted to SCI, 94.-
20, thus leaving a deficit of S2,92545 In
1899 the deficit was 81, 401.O5 The interest
on the funded debt this year was S9,544.69,
so that the total deficit from operation was
S12,546. The total deficit June 80 was SAB,

NEW YORK LETTER.

NEW YORK Oct. |. 1900. Calamity
always has been. and always will be,
the chief stock i'll trade of the Democ-
ratio party. 1t has always been a
calamity bowler. always prospers Oh
calamity-of the imaginary kind rather
than the real-and yet it has been the
record of that party for more than forty
years. 1t has brought calamity three
fold greater than its orators complained
of whenever it secured power in the
I nited States. 1t is party of croakers.
Consequently it is with great glee that
the Democrats hail the strike in Penn
sylvania. The prospect for higher
prices for coal, to be paid by the rich
and poor alike seems to be tonic to
the Democratic spirits, for they figure
on making political capital out of the
strike in Pennsylvania. The general
impression in New York is that it is a
Democratic strike, was organized, origi-
mated and fostered by the Democratic
ItduelS loI pollelCdl tlltCl Ill llllo Pltol-
Dental campaign. OF course every man
who knows anything is perfectly aware
that the Republican party and the
National Administration have nothing
whatever to do with the strike nor the
grievances of which the miners com
lain. Every Democratic orator on the
stump and the Democratic papers have
already begun to hold the Republican
party responsible for all the ills that
may grow out of this strike and which
may have deplorable consequences be
fore it ends. A strike inaugurated
solely for political effect is nothing
short of crime
