AN HONORABLE GOVERNOR!
Gov. Steunenberg, Of Idaho, Takes All the
Responsibility for Use Of Federal
Troops.
[River Press.l

lNlNS 1891
The investigation into the Occur d Alene
riots by n congressional committee which
is still in progress at Washington, has
brought to light an example of political
honesty that is all too rare in these times
OF bitter partisan strife. Governor Steun.
enberg the Demo-Populist state executive,
OF Idaho, appeared before the committee,
and during his testimony stoutly main
tanned that he alone was responsible for
all that was done in SURPRISING the reign
Of terror hat prevailed in the Occur
d'Alens mining district some months ago.
The fact that the Demo-Populist govern
or, Of Idaho, willingly accepts such re,
honor to have been the means by which
his state was preserved from further
scenes OF riot and bloodshed-is an effective
answer to the political blather-kitps who
sought to cast odium upon President Nc
Kinley fer allowing the presence Of the
federal troops in the disturbed region.
Some Of these unprincipled d~emaeogues
have been trying to excite the passions and
prejudices nf the labor vote by represent.
ing that the national administration was
responsible for the proclamation OF mar.
tial law in 'he Coer d'Alenes; Tor the arrest
Of n large number Of men suspected OF dyn-
amite outrages; for the alleged inhumani.
ties al the bull pen, and other incidents
connected with the preservation Of peace
at Wardner and other riot %centers. The
endelvor was made to demonstrate that
the Republican ad ministratiOn was an en-.
use its military resources against peaceful
workingmen, but Gov. Steunenbrrg es-
teens it AN honor to claim entire responsi'
bility for everything that was done in this
connection.
A. a matter OF political discretion many
D,mo Populists would have preferred to
allow the Republican administration to
be uninstly nssailed in this matter, hoping
to derive direct personal benefit rom such

SENATOR MANTLE CONF lDtNT.
Says CIark's Expulsion Means Republican
Victory in Montana.

Ex-United States Senator Lee Mantle,
interviewed in the Inter Mountain upon
the report OF the committee on privileges
and elections IN the Clark case, said:
THE senate committee on privileges and
elections is a great committee. Its mem
bership is composed Of many OF the ablest
and best knewn Statesmen OF the country.
Its findings on any questions submitted
for its judgment always carry great weight,
and IN this instance, being unanimous,
must be accepted as conclusive and as in
dicative Of the judgment OF the senate. |
shall look forward with interest to the
committees report in full. 1t will make
mighty interestin' reading as it will no
doubt express its opinion OF all the factors
which have entered into this nas,y Demo-
cratic mess.
1.-THE tremendous sums of money which
the testimony shows have been used in the
elections in Montana must have staggered
the members OF the committee. 1t is diff
cult indeed for any outsider to compre.
bend the enormous extent to which politi.
cal debauchery has gone in this state since
the beginning OF the capital controversy in
1892.
"What do | think the result will be polit.
ically? Well, il it does not result in an
overwhelming Democratic defeat and the
purging OF the state from the malign in-
~iluences which have made it's name a re-
proach and a by.word throughout the
land, | shall be much surprised. II | cor.
rectly estimate public sentiment there is a
fixed determination on the part Ola large
majority Of the people CT Montana who
are not connected with the Democratic
controversy, to set the seal OF their just
condemnation upon all who are RESPONSE.
BILE for the shameless exhibition.
whether the Judgment OF the senate
committee will have the effect Of putting
an end to the bribery, the bulldozing, the
open brazen coercion, the boycotting and
repeating, the political persecution and
tyranny which have heretofore prevailed,
and which have deprived thousands OF cit
liens OF the free exercise OF their political
rights, remains to be seen. II 1t shall, then
we will have some reason to be thankful
that out OF the injustice. the indignity, the
dishonor which have been put upon our
commonwealth to crafty personalhatre IL
in the Democratic party, some good has
come"

This thing has received attentions Of
various kinds before now. II was first
noticed in the novels. The young wom-
an in modern fiction does not do nearly
so much weeping as she used TO DO. To
he sure, she has not always 50 much
excuse for it. When a young lady was
carried away by n fierce and determined
lover whom she did not want, and told
that unless she married him ut once her
family and all her immediate friends
would be killed, there was really a con-
siderable excuse for tears and swoons
on her part. This type of heroine flour
ished in the beginning of the present
century. She was followed by the hero
inc who cried as "a chile does to get
something she wanted-and usually
got il, if il happened not to be the moon
or anything equally unartainable.
Sometimes she was a young lady of
religious predictions aud shed tears
over the sorrows of others. or over her
own religious sentiments. II has been
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine Of
THE Wide, Wide World" must have
shed at least five gallons, twoquartsand
)ne pint of tears in The course of her
adventures in two volumes. IiIt the
young lady in the modern work OF iic-
tion does not cry. If she is of a pas
sionate nature she now ard then ''bursts
into a storm of sobs," but she does not
often do ii, as old-fashioned people
would say, before folks" She is more
likely TO preserve a calm and more or
less uncomprehended silence. Another
type of modern heroine is the CHEEKY
girl who endures ali her tribulations in
silence, or laughs about them, and is
the sunshine of the family circle while
her heart is secretly breaking. Unjust
be confessed that this type of young
lady would be considerably more to the
taste of the ordinary man than the old
fashioned type of fearful patience. The
mans woman"-courageous, gay, toll
Grant and reserved as to her private
f~eelings-is coming to the front in fic-
ton, and this ideal is decidedly worth
studying by the novei-reading girls of
to-day.-Chicago Chronicle.

He was surprised at the result, but refused
to make a statement until after a consul
tation with his friends and attorneys.
The senator bore himself with his usual
composure. His face appeared somewhat
flushed, but his voice was calm and his
manner collected. and he discussed other
business affairs as II nothing had trans.
pred. He was asked IL there was any
truth 10 the report that he had decided to
resign, and he replied, as he did to all other
questions bearing on his case: II can't at
present answer any questions bearing upon
the case. l can't at present answer ques-
tioas bearing on the report of the commit
tee on elections"

What has become Of woman's tears,
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor late
ly remarked in the hearing of a woman
that he wondered what haG become Of
all the crying members of her sex. lie
said that he had not seen a woman cry
in some years, and that, so far as he
could see, there are just as many things
to cry over as there ever were, and just
as many women. He did not object TO
the absence Of tears; he only wondered
about il.
