ties preserved without going to the eN-
treme of closing down an active work
ing mine and throwing 800 men out of
employment for an indefinite period. as
in the case of the Comanche mine. which
was yesterday closed down on an order
from Judge Clancy's court.
We have no intention of crticisns the
court in any manner. That is not the
habit or custom of this newspaper
Neither have we the slightest intention
of expressing any opinion upon the mer-
its of the case or prejudicing the interest
of either side What the people are con-
cerned about is what may be termed the
public aspect of the affair. for whom the
operation of the industries of this great
camp can be suddenly obstructeds and
interrupted under such circumstances as
those which surround the Comanche
case. Today 500 men are deprived of
work. Tomorrow 5000 miners may find
themselves without jobs. compelled to
remain idle for months. Great smelling
and refining plants may be crippled in
their operations or compelled to close
down. and other thousands Of laborers
subjected to a loss in which a dozen
communities may also have to share.
We repeat that this is a serious mat
ter 1t calls for profound and earnest
reflection on the part of all concerned

conduct these legal proceedings in such
manner as to involve the least possible

it was struck by more shot from the

any other ship on that day. One was to

about the same effect, and then to re-
turn to the old lookout anchorage.
Admiral Sampson. when the firing be-
gan. rushed his ship back and reached
the pursuing vessels just as the last
Spanish ship was being beached. That
is the story as given by all the Wit
neSses. In his message to the senate
the president mentioned simply the
commander of the fleet and his officers
and men. Suppose he had tried to par
ticulariZe, where would he have stopped?
Certainly Captain Cook of the Oregon
was entitled to more credit than any
other man on that occasion. Not that
he showed any better disposition than
the rest. for they all behaved perfectly.

he was taking. exhibited the most reck-
less courage of them all. OF course,
land lubbers are not first class judges
of sea fights. The opinions of the vari-
Gus commanders that We're on the fleet.
if they substantially agree, are what
the landSmen should fix their opinions
by, and they all do agree that there
never was fleet handled so splendidy

MRS. MARY MANTLE.
ATTRIBUTE.

To every man who realizes the price
less blessings of a mothers tender love
and constant care: who has been, from
infancy to maturity the subject of her
prayers her sacrifices and her pride, the
hour when the angel of death closes the
eyes that saw only his virtues and stills
the heart that beat always in sympathy
with his own, must ever remain in his
memory as the saddest of his life. Only
the recollection of duty we'll performed
of comforts that We're not denied, OF
solicitude that knew no abatement, of
kindness and affection that We're vOlun-
tary and ceaseless can mitigate the suf-
fering of those who, sooner or later, must
face this most dreaded but inevitable
ordeal.
Human sympathy is but poor solace to
hearts that are breaking and brings, back
no JOY to homes that are desolate. Yet
the sleep that comes after a we'll spent

1t may be said of Mrs. Mantle tina
she was a pioneer in three western terri

SUNDAY THEATRICALS.

MisSoula Democrat Messenger: Mr..
John Mcguire, the veteran actor and
manager. is making an effort to have a
law passed by the present legislature
that will prohibit theatrical perform
ances on Sunday night The claim is
made that the actor is given no period
of rest and must do his work night after
night like a white slave. when he should
have one night in the week that he could
call his own. 1t is also argued that such
a law would appeal to public sentiment
in the matter of observing the Sabbath
day. and thus give to theatricals still
higher standing as a medium for the
education of the people. 1t must be ad-
mitted that Mr.. Maguire's arguments
are forceful and they should be effective.
If the law interVenes in behalf of some
members of the community and gives
them a day of rest, why should not ac-
tors be accorded the same privileges?

SAMPSON SCnlEY CONTROVERSY.

to the relative merits of Admiral Samp-
son and Admiral Schley. but the effort
now being made by some democratic
newspapers to establish that the presi

same honors be bestowed upon Admira.

fleet, is Il plain eNaggera ton on its face,
Admiral Sampson was sent with his
fleet to Havana. Admiral Schleyd was
given a magnificent fleet. which was
called the Flying Squadron and sem

was said was on the way from Spain
for our coast. When it was under

or Admiral Schley. that Cervera 81 fleet
was in Santiago harbor. all the ships
We're ordered there, and the command
was given to Sampson. 1t was he who
located the ships off Santiago: it was
he who gave the orders to hold thai
watch off Santiago: to have search
light turned into the mouth of San
tiago harbor every night: to cooperate
with the army: it was he who gave the
other order that in case the fleet ap-
peared. each ship should hurry to the
attack. He was in the armored cruiser

Admiral Schley was in the armored

Could any woman have a more beauti-
full jewel?
This has called forth an answer from
one representing the American mother
who says:
No, none more beautiful but Others
much the same Such jewels are all made
of the same fabric. gallant heroism, dis
tinsuished for valor.
We have no V. c. to reward our.
heroes We have. however. heroic
mothers who have lost their sons. some
of whom have been able to obtain some
slight token of the sacrifice they have
made for their country. Who will place
the v C. which so nobly adorns Lady
Roberts above the simple button cut
from the army shirt of Sergt. Hamilton
Fish, killed in the front of the first ac'
ton in our own war with Spain. Ihac
is the " c. which his loving mother
wears and doubtless other mothers
wear some token of their gallant sons
who went to fight for the flag and proud
ly died for it.
No woman can have a more beautiful
Jewel than that which Lady Roberts
wears in memory of her gallant boy. but
there is many weeping mother without

OUR LEGISLATURE.

Great Falls Leader: There have been
so far comparatively few crank bills be-
fore the legislature, much fewer than
have been introduced into other state
legislatures this year. But what few
there are should be turned down III favor
of bills of more merit. There are many
bills the passage of which is important.
For instance, the meat and milk lnspeo-
ton bill is probably of more importance
than anything elese. if the health of the
people of Montana is worthy of any con-
siderat ton at the hands of our legislature
There are also various other needed
measures. but this is one of the most i'm
portant and it should be given the right
OF way over all the rest.

THE RAILROADS.

Milk River Eagle: The railroads Of
Montana in many counties pay IA larger
share of the taxes than any five individ-
uals. They bear their full share of taxa
ton everywhere. The legislature should
go slowly in enacting laws interfering
with the railroads. They should be given
fair treatment. There will be nothing
gained by creating Il railroad commits

ed down by Justice White in various
cases involving the long and short haul
clause Of the Interstate commerce law
The principal opinion was rendered in
the case Of the East Tennessee and
Georgia railroad company and the charge
was to the effect that lower rate was
charged on freight carried to Nashville
than was charged on freight to Chatta-
nooga. the distance to the first point be-
ing greater than to the latter. The de-
cisions OF the interstate commerce COM
mission, the circuit court and the circuit
court Of appeals were all antagOnistic

ferent grounds The opinion handed
down today reverses all these decisions
and was in favor Of the railroad COM
pany though without prejudice. The de-
cisions in the other similar cases were on
the same lines.
