REPUBLICANS
" ARE BACK in LINE

Dillon Tribune: In the presidential
four years ago, the controlling
issue was the rehabilitation of silver. We
all remember under conditions that
battle was fought. We were experiencing
a fearful financial depression. Industry
was paralyzed: prices were low n con-
stantly falling; labor was unemployed,
restless and dissatisfied; capital was in
hiding, and business courage had de-
parted. Never in our whole history was
our industrial life at so low an ebb. There
was an honest belief that the remedy for
the conditions was to be found in the res
of silver.
But time and the current of events
have removed the causes that brought
about these conditions, and silver is no
longer an issue, at least 1t we are to be-
lieve what our democratic friends assert,
for the present campaign is to be waged.
on their part, entirely upon another and
very different issue. By common con-
sent the ISSUE, and the only one that
which four years ago. drove silver repub-
licans from home, has been absolutely
eliminated from the present campaign.
Silver republicans are protectionists;
they are expansionists; they claim some
of the glory, and would share some of the
honor which crowns the last three years
of American life; they share the hopes
and aspirations, and the broad unyield-
ing faith of their cOuntrymen: they be-
lieve in the ultimate success of free
institutions, broad enough and strong
enough to give to all the world both
freedom n justice.
Good citizens may differ upon matters
of civil concern, matters which affect f.
lance alone, but those trained In the
school of Lincoln n Grant, who have
felt the inspiration OF the restless loyalty
of James G. Blaine, will not desert the
old party when there is forced upon it a
contest whic involves the very dignity
and integrity of the nation itself.
If the flag is to be hauled down in any
part of. u possessions, If our soldiers are
to be called back from the lands dedi-
Gated by their own valOr, and the blood
of their comrades to freedom and pro-
gress; if it is to be confessed that the
ownership of a few small islands, right
fully and legally obtained, is to result ia
the establishment of a monarchy, let this
be To- by the democratic party alone,
and not by act OF deed of silver re-
publican. "Fr

THE DANGER OF DiSc0RD

The men who are regarded as leaders
ofthe republican partyin Montana cannot
too seriously take account of the great
danger of party dis%integration unless the
attention of the rank and file can be TAX
from personal, and centered upon po-
litical, issues. In every rock and corner
of the state paid agents of democracy
are sowing the seeds of discord. In To-
c~alities, where, under normal conditions.
republican majorities might be consid-
cred certain. influences are at work
which will reverse expected results un-
less promptly counteracted. Both news

fighters in the battle for right have

suing policies and Offering advice the ul-

WHEN A KISS WAS VALUABLE.

The practice Of kissing the hands was
instituted by the early Roman rulers as
a mark of subsection as much as one OF
respect, and under the first Caesars the
custom was kept up, but only for a time.
These worthless conceived the idea that
the proper homage due to their exalted
station called for less familiar modes OF
%obeisance, SO the privilege OF kissing the
emperor's hand was reserved as q spec
ial mark of condescention or distinction
for officers of high rank. Nc such re-
strictions, however, was placed on tine
emperors themselves, who, If they wished
to confer signal honor on any or tnelr
subjects, kissed either the mouths or the
eyes of those they wished specially to
favor-the kiss generally intimating
some promotion or personal satisfaction
of some achievement. Roman ather
considered the practice OF kissing or SO
delicate a nature that they never kissed
their wives in h presence OF their
daughters. Then, too, only the nearest
relatives were allowed to kiss their
kindred of the gentler sex on the mouth.
for in those days, as now, kissing was
not a mere arbitrary sign, but 1t was
the spontaneous language OF the al
fections, especially that of love. Under
the Romans, If a lover kissed his be-
trothed before marriage, h inherited
half of his worldly goods In the event OF
his death before the marriage ceremony,
and IL she died. her heritage descended
to her nearest relatives.-Frank H.

mr., MANSLE'S LETTER.

The Billings Gazette, referring to the
letter of ex-senator Mantle to the silver
republicans and its effect in restoring
harmony in the republican party says:
Whatever may nave been the differ
ences heretofore existing between th two
wings of the republican partyaof the atate
the Ope letter of h state chairman Of
the silver republican committee certainly
no longer leaves n room for doubt as
to the perfect accord of h two wings
of the party from now on. The silver
republicans decline to accept the Bryan
doctrine to hau down the stars and
stripes planted in the east at h cost OF
American blood in a war which was
forced pon this country by a tyrannical
foreign power.
The Dillon Tribune on h same SUBJ
ject says:
Senator Lee Mantle announced in yes
terday's Inter Mountain through the me
dunn of a letter to the chairman of the
] silver republican central committee OF
Granite county, that he cut loose from
the silver republicans n will hencefortf
be a republican. In losing Mr.. Mantle
the silver republican party loses its chied
and most earnest worker. The repub.
lican party welcomes Mr.. Mantle back
with genuine pleasure.

SENATOR CARTER.

The Helena Independent makes another
attack on Senator Carter by asking q
lot of questions about him. The Helena
papers policy is always questionable. Inc
fact remains, however, that Senator. Car
tess record in Washington has been
based upon his conception of right. No
Montana man ever visited the National
Capital who was not proud Of the position
Mr.. Carter has achieved among the
statesmen of the nation. No citizen OF
this state ever asked him in vain for
anything coming within the line OF MS
senatorial duty. No man In the senat
has a better grasp upon all public ques-
tions than the Montana senator and none
has achieved more for his state than ne
has. On the silver issue he has differed
from the silver republicans but remained
in line with the other republicans. so that
his record politically has been In con-
eonance with his party platform. On al

THE school OF MINES.

The people of Butte and all the mining
companies are going to take active IN
terest and permanent pride in the State
school of mines. The learned gentlemen
who have accepted the various profess
sorships have arrived and others will be

With active, progressive, aggressive
management the institution will be a sue

the law should be insisted upon. The
'ablest men and the best apparatus should
be secured. The strictest business rules
should be adopted and applied In Its

That is a good start.
The Inter Mountain is gratifed to learn
that the rich men of Butte are going to

MONDAY, AUGUST 10. 1900.
THE RESPONSIBILITY,

Who started the Spanish war anyhow?
Who was it that daily abused Mckinley
for not beginning hostilities? Who was it
that derided the republicans IN congress
who advised a conservative course? Who
was it that ridiculed the attempt to
bring about reforms in Cuba without the
necessity OF going to war?
The Democracy!
It is just as well to bear this fact in
mind la reading the Anaconda Standard
editorials these days deploring the ex-
pense OF the war, the cost Of the army in
the philippines and the danger OF a
standing army In the United States.

The err or MILITARfSM Il

The Anaconda Standard in common
with other democratic papers is Decking
to elect Bryan by setting UP a sdismdf
wall about the military spirit n THU
country, the menace of a large standing
army the policy Of imperialism which
will naturally follow. and the seizure Of
a large piece of Asia and a few other
continents.
To offset these absurd croakings some
one has gone to the trouble of publishing
a table showing the military strength Of
European nations compared with that
of the United States. The number Of
soldiers to the population in European
nations varies from five to thirteen per
1000 of the population, whereas in the
United States it is but sixty-eight n
hundredths of a soldier to each thousand
of the people. On this showing the Ana
conda paper and it's fellows invariably
throw a few fits and evolve several col
umns of dreary prose to demonstrate
that it is not the present army that thev
are afraid of. but one to be organized
in the future if the military spirit is not
suppressed! That is a groundless fear
when it is remembered that the presi-
Dental term is but our years: that a new
congress is elected every two years, SO
that, if the people did not want an army,
no power on earth could force one upon
them, as any congress could shut off it's
