G%RATUITOUS U

Even Pingree could not resist the
temptation to get in a parting kick at
Montana. Last Thursday he read his
final message to the legislature of
Michigan, and it was a shot number, -
as the boys would put it. Among
other things he dwelt upon was the
necessity for a change in the manner
Of electing United States senators.
He urged the legislature to adopt a
resolution requiring congress to call a
convention for the purpose of propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution
to provide for the election Of federal
senators by popular vote. In support
of this recommendation he called at
tention to "Clark in Montana and our
own discouraging and disgraceful ex-
perlences furnish the most powerful
and convincing argument in behalf
of popular elections" Continuing he
said: "It is a matter Of common
knowledge that the Office is sought by
wealthy men not so much for the al
legged honor as the opportunity which
it offers for the financial profits and
commercial advantage, not only
through stock speculation, but in
other and less legitimate ways. In
stead of being the bulkwark Of our
government, as the trainers of the
constitution intended it, the senate is
now looked upon with fear and dis
trust by the people of the country"
While a great many believe with
the late governor that the senate is
more and more becoming the rich
mans Office, it was unkind of him to
drag in the name of this state and Of
of its respected citizens. He could
have spoken in general terms. 1t was
not necessary to hurt the feelings Of a
people who have never harmed him in
any way. On the contrary, they have
always spoken we'll of him and given
cheerful testimony to the quality of
his potatoes and his own transcendant
ability as a raiser of tubers.

Willy RUSSIA.

While all the time trying to con-
ciliate China, Russia is keeping an eye
on the main chance. It continues in
it's beneficent work of assisting the
fallen Mongol at the expense to the
latter of a goodly slice of his territory.
No wonder England "views with
alarm the recent agreement between
the two. Shorn of all grandiloquent
phrazes it simply amounts to a sur
render by China Of the Manchurian
province of Fen Ting and the assump-
tion by Russia of a protectorate owe
it which practically is real ownership.
BY the terms of the agreement Russia
becomes the "whole thing with the

LIMITS THE time
Ten Hours Allowed for Argu-
ment in Porto. Rican
Case.

Washington, Jan. Argument in
the United States supreme court in
the Porto Rican cases. involving the
question of the legality of the duties
imposed by this country on goods
shipped from the United States to
Porto Rico and from Porto Rico to the
United States, did not begin TO-DAY,
as other cases preceding had the effect
of postponing it until tomorrow.
The court, however, took sufficient
~oognizance in the cases as to decide as
to what time should be given to each
side in the controversy. This ques-
ton was raised by former Secretary
Carlisle, who stated that five of the
cases could be consolidated.
Upon suggestion the court awarded
five hours to each side of the contro-
versy. Carlisle stated that these cases
involved the double question of the
power Of the United States to levy a
duty on goods being shipped in both
directions, the question regarding the
imposition of duties on goods going
into Porto Rico being entirely new.

tion which he is said to be particular
" anxious to have enacted would have
been much better and he probably
also would have done better in other
directions.
In connection with the meeting Of
Saturday night it is interesting to
note the comments of q democratic
newspaper which hitherto on such oc-
casions has always spoken in the tone
of one accustomed to command and
expect obedience. Its confession Of
nothingness in the present instance is
really pitiful when compared with
some Of it's u%tterances in the past.
The paper referred to is the Anaconda
Standard, once proud and domineering
in party matters, but just now in the
position of one brrred from the feast
and who can only look in through the
open door and behold those on the in
side stuff themselves and make merry.
It does not even offer a suggestion, let
alone in thunderous tones hurl it's
commands and demand immediate and
explicit compliance. In fact, the
Standard is as submissive and indiffer-
emit to the party's affairs at Helena as
a lone republican in a back county Of
Mississippi. Here is what it has to
say concerning the squabble in the
party to which it processes still to be-
long:
1t is a fight but, apparently, it isn't
going to be s very much OF a fight,
after all. The Standard is not in it,
for reasons over which this newspaper
has no control and because of certain
conclusions which the people of Mon
tana reached one day last November,
at the polls. However, it will inter-
est the Standard to watch the pro-
gress of things at Helena and, in the
role of a disinterested outsider, tell
the public how things are going on in
the senatorial controversy.
This much seems clear enough al
ready; it is-a cold, commercial prop
osition; W. A. Clark apparently can
handle the legislature in all things as
he pleases; and the first clash of
rival forces shows that if he is to be
banked the mai to do it must be a
bigger man and a richer man than
Heinze.

President "Yim" Hill has joined in
the crusade against the yellow hued

He has issued an order that the Jap

order, however, was prompted by
selfishness, as it has been discovered

to work, is more expensive than the
white laborer, one able-bodied eau
casian being able to perform the ser

PROPOSED LAWS.

The number of bills already nestl-
ing in legislative pockets awaiting the
proper time for their introduction
seems to be large enough to afford
ample business Tor the entire session
Of the legislature now fairly under
a In addition to these plenty of
others Will be thought Of and framed
as the days grow, so that the session
promises to be as lively as any that
have preceded it. The usual number
of county division bills are already
drawn and will result in the usual
fighting and lobbying. The familiar
one for dividing Custer county will
probably be- the first Il sprung.
Deer Lodge will also ask to be made
smaller, so that the number of county
seats may be increased in the western
part of the state and the old town Of
Deer Lodge may again have the honor
Of which it was deprived a few years
ago. Beaverhead will ask for a slice
from Madison, and there may be
others, but as yet they are not known,
at least not to the general public.
The stockmen of Custer and Daw-
SON counties want the wolf bounty in
creased and a bill to, that effect is to
be introduced early ia the session.
They will also ask for a law placing
a tax on stock or, the trail. They de-
sire such a law to protect them against
the outsiders who now drive stock
onto their ranges and pay taxes in
other counties, or, as it often happens,
in other states. From Jefferson a bill
will be presented for an appropriation
of $50, 900 to build an addition to the
state school for the blind and deaf and
dumb. From the same county will be
submitted a bill for q change in the
election laws and still another making
the execution of all criminals the duty
of the state prison warden and the
pe%nitentiary the place Of their execu.
tion. Of course, some one will intro
duce a bill for an eight-hour law fol
miners, and it will be a member of the
Silver Bow delegation, for it was or

FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH.

The result of Saturday nights cau-
Gus as indicative Of the respective
strength Of Clark and Heinze would
cause it to seem that there has been
more Of noise and buster than real
merit to the claims of the Heinzeites
as to their ability to control matters
in the legislature. The lineup Of
forces developed the Clark men 70 be
so strong that they need have no fear
Of Heinze and makes it plain that the
boast of the former that the fusion
was Clark's has been based on m
thing more tangible and substantial
than wind.
Thirty-seven votes were cast at the
caucus and Of this number MacGinnis,
the Heinze candidate for speaker, re-
ceived only Is, the others gong to
Corbett, Clark's man for the position.
The faction of the fusionists repre-
sented by the so-called labor party
men, did just as The Gazette and
others said they would-they voted
for Corbett. The candidacy Of Kill
gallon, of which so much had been
heard, apparently was forgotten, as
all of the votes which he was sup
posed to control were cast for the
Clark candidate. But this probably
does not surprise anybody at all IA
miliar with the situation. The Kill
gallon boom was merely gotten up as
a blind and never was taken seriously
by any person, unless it may be that q

had not yet learned how they were
