1857. S7RAYED or STOLEN

Saturday evening the Inter Mountains
Washington specials that
swede Murphy had disappeared from
Washington!
This startling news has since been con-
firmed by the Anaconda Standard.
1t says that he took a header Satur-
day morning-whatever that may mean.
1t is intimated that he was approached
by the Clark men, and persuaded to re-
frain from making the confession which
he had promised the Anaconda democracy
to make, relative to his social duties in
Helena last winter.
He was then known as a Clark man.
and the Standard that he was
engaged in the work of steering suscept-
fble statesmen up against the real thing.
1t was Swede Murphy who interfered
with the natural laws which gave to Hell
ena a most delightful climate, and made
the atmosphere SO thick with corruption
that the representatives Of the Anaconda
Standard, with their training on the
higher spiritual planes, were compelled to
cut their way through the streets with
knives.
The files Of the Standard show. Just
what Murphy did. '
But lately it seems that Murphy, like
Hewitt, experienced a change Of heart.
Persistent reading OF the Standard
finally awakened his conscience into ac-
tivity, and it is alleged that he went to
Washington with the intention of con-
Tossing his shortcomings of last winter,
and hereafter counting one on the side
of the Lord and the Amalgamated Cop
per company.
But while Hewitt escaped the tempter.
and was given an opportunity to swear
that he had committed perjury before a
grand jury, and thus proved that White
side was right when he said that a mis-
statement is a lie only when told to some-
body that has a right to know the truth
1t seems that poor Swede Murphy's ef-
fort to lead a better life wasn't sufficient
ly looked after by the Anaconda wing of
the democracy.
Apparently, he again jolted loose from
the path Of rectitude. and started out in
this cold world of sin and sorrow to see IL
he could find Cason.
With Murphy relapsed, and his confess
sion gon with him, it appears that Ca
sons confession that he swore to a lie in
the Welcome case, for a consideration of
$4O0, has no rival in the field-up to date
but that of M. l.. Hewitt's.
The situation in Washington is getting
desperate. q
1t shows that it is not available re
sources which Montana needs for it's de-
velopment as a state-as these abound ON
every hand, Inc in some pockets-but the
crying need of the hour is men who will
stay bought! /"

VINO IS the AFOS

I Helena Independent are again informed
that the Inter Mountain is an apostate
to the silver cause. The information inn
parted to the readers of the capital city
organ is not based upon any statement
adverse to silver that has ever appeared
in these .columns-for the Inter Mountain
is a consistent believer in free coinage
but upon the fact that democratic pre-
lenses Of loyalty to the white metal have
been freely exposed. 1t canno fail to
have attracted the notice of the public
that in no instance has the Independent
taken issue with the Inter Mountain as
to the statement Of facts submitted by
this paper. in proof Of its contention
that the democratic party has placed the
free coinage issue in the background.
Our contemporary attempts no analysis
of the political situation. to which refer
ence has been repeatedly made in these
columns. but confines itself to the un-
supported assertion that the Inter Noun
tain is an %apostate, and that it's apos-
tacy is based upon political promises Of
q more or less definite character.
/ Were the Independent inclined to either
honesty or fairness in the discussion of
political topics, it would at least en-
deavor to show wherein this newspaper
is wrong in it's presentment Of facts
tending to show the trend Of the democ-
racy, and illogical in the conclusions
reached. But it evades all reference
whatever to the public utterances of
Colonel Bryan, and other former leaders
of the silver cause, relative to the nam
ing a paramount issue for 1900 other
to say about the compromise which has
brought together the silver democrats
and the gold democrats of the campaign
of 1896, for united work the present year.
No silver democrat has had the as
surance to claim that the gold members
of that party have surrendered their
single standard views as one of the con-
ditions of the compact. The utterances
of the Tammany leader, Dick Croker, to
the effect hat free coinage shal not be
the issue of 1900, while announcing that
the support of the organization which he
represents shall be given the candidacy
of Mr.. Bryan, is a plain enough illustra-
ton of this fact.
The Inter Mountain recognizes the
anxiety with which the democratic press
of Montana desire a turn in the political
wheel of fortune which will enable them
to advocate silver. Notwithstanding a.
party understanding that r~elegates free
coinage to the background, but the stub
born fact remains that the two national
wings of that organization are getting
together at the expense of the white
metal. In pointing out the ndisputab
evidence of democratic disregard for sill
Yer, and the likelihood that the free COIN
g ratio will be dropped from political
consideration by that party, the Inter
Mountain has awakened the fear on the
part of the Independent that the democ-
racy may not have as smooth sailing
in 1900 as in 1898, in buncoing the Mon
tana public. Hence, an attack upon the
motives Of this paper, when an impeach-
ment of its conclusions is impossible.

Paris, April 3O.-There was an.
other accident at the exhibition this
morning, by which four workmen
lost their lives through the fall of
scaffolding in the Sale des Fetes.
Coming as it does on top of ycster-
days accident, it has created a pro-
found impression.
1t seems to be generally felt that
the authorities have run too big
risks in their desire to push the
work ahead, though the exhibition
people themselves deny that. They
insist that they are in no way re-
sponsible for the collapse of the
footbridge, since it was not their
construction, had not their approx
al and had not been thrown open
to the public
Commissioner General Picard,
has authorized the statement that
he would, if public opinion de-
manded it, invite the Government
to appoint commission to pass
upon the general security of all the
exhibition structures. Such a
measure would reassure opinion at
home and abroad.

Thirteen Killed Ia Two Days at the Paris
Exposition.

Paris, April 29.-Nine peopl,
were killed and seven injured by
the fall of a foot bridge in the
Champs de Mars section of the Ex
hibition this afternoon, and by
this fatality gloom has been cast
over Paris which even the brilliant
Examinations of tonight Of the
Tuileries and all the exhibition
palaces cannot quite dispel.
The footbridge had not yet been
officially inspected by the authori-
ties and was not thrown open to
the public, so that in no way can
the exhibition authorities be held
responsible. Nevertheless the ac-
cident has caused lamentable i'm
preston in Paris.
1t is noticeable that one of the
persons most active in rescuing the
victims was an American workman
attached to the United States Paw
illion named Pellman. The Min
lister Of commerce has sent him a
present of $40.

Forest Fires,

Menominee, Mich, May 1.-The
forest fires are still raging along
the line of the Wisconsin and Mich
igan Railway, north of Fisher, with
disastrous results. The logging
camps Of Wells, Ludington & Van
Setback Company, of this city, near
Ames, have been destroyed. In ad-
dition to those reported destroyed
yesterday are the cedar product
villages of Swanson and Garner, on
the Wisconsin and Michigan Road.
AS near as can be estimated, the
loss in that vicinity is $4,000 to
$4,000. All incoming trains from
the north and over the st. Paul
branch report fires raging in all
directions.
There is no communication with
the burned district except by means
of the $500" Railroad telegraph
line. There has been no rain, and
the fires cannot be checked. The
passenger train which left here
Sunday morning was hemmed in in
the burned district, and only got
through to Eathorn last night.
The plight Of the people in the
burned district is terrible, as the
country is very dry. Many lumber
camps have been destroyed, and
farmers have fought the flames to
save their homes. The loss will
probably reach several hundred
thousand dollars unless rain soon
falls, of which there is no apparent
prospect.
Fires are also burning along the
Milwaukee and 500 Roads, and
serious damage is feared.
The fires are burning SC heavily
along the Milwaukee Road, north
Of Ellis Junction, that passengers
are unable to put their heads out
Of the windows, so sitting is the
smoke.
Middle Inlet and Cedarville have
suffered from the devasting flames.
