THAT MILWAUKEE EXTENSION

If the statement Of Roswell Miller
is to be accepted as t%ruthfully and
authoritatively expressing the wishes
and plans of the directorate Of which
he is the chairman, then it is very evil
dent that the repeated stories of a
western extension by the Milwaukee
are to be put down as the produc-
tons of some enterprising space
writer's for eastern publications. Mr..
Miller emphatically denes the report
that his company has any intention of
extending it's lines into the northwest
ern territory and becoming a trans
Missouri road. He says it has moth
ing to fear from the combination of
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and Burlington systems, as his road
depends upon it's local traffic to pay
dividends and to a certain extent is
independent of the combination. He
Furthermore says that hill is too
shrewd and careful a business man
to openly discriminate against con-

owever fruitless their visit may
prove so far as securing any modi-
fication of the Plat amendment may
be concerned, the delegates appointed
by the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton to visit the president are as
sured of an interview and a friendly
reception. The administration seems
to rather like the proposed confer
ence, as it Will afford an opportunity
to fully inform the Cubans of the de-
sires and purposes Of this government
in reference to the island. 1t may
turn out that when the delegates shall
learn lie governments intentions they
will return fully satisfied that even
under the amendment to which a por-
ton of the islanders object, they will
enjoy not only full and complete lib
erty, but also have the protection of
this powerful nation and the assur-
ance of safety and peace that that
protection guarantees. They will learn
at all events, that the people of this
nation have nc desire to see Cuba
so situated and governed as to be a
standing menac to it's own safety and
peace, which it certainly would be
were the demands of the radical ele-
ment of the Cubans to be complied

The perennial squahble over state
printing is on at Helena, and, as usual,
feeling runs high and some ugly
charges are made. The state board of
examiners in this instance seems to
have allowed it's politics and partisan
ship to Il away with it's judgment
and sense of obligation to the people
and to totally ignore it's duty. The
board sometime ago decided to cancel
the contract in existence for the quar-
teTly publication of the state treas.
urer's report and turned over the mat
ter to the governor, giving as an ex-
cuse that the constitution gives to him
alone the authority for letting the
work. Now it happens that under the
new arrangement the board finds
itself confronted with an account of
$1.464 for the publication of n quar-
terly report, whereas under the old
contract the total for the year amount
ed to only $oz,.2S. The discrepancy
being so great, the people of the state,
ever those who believe that to the
victor belong the spoils, will natur-
ally want to know something more of
the matter and may insist that the
law, which : : is said has been violat-
ed, shall be enforce. by submitting
the contract to the lowest bidder. But
as The Gazette has taken occasion to
remark before, the people last fall by
an Overwhelming majority, gave no.
tice that they wanted their public af-
fairs, especially those pertaining to
the state, conducted by the fusion gen
tlemen, hence they will probably do
no more than growl a llLLle and say
it's all right, as it stays in the family,
anyhow. .a
