eminent we have seen under the
democratic party, there can be but
n result, and that is the state will
again return to it's enses and elect
republican officers. But the Leader
is kind and says the senator is not
to be blamed for his opinions, nor
are the democrats of the state for
deserving silver. They cannot help
it, the Leader says, but have been
forced into it by the logic Of events
and want an issue on which they can
win, not only in Montana, but through
out the United States and they have
seer that they cannot win upon the
issue formerly represented by Bryan.

Usher was made in such a fair and
gentlemanly manner and his reasons
therefore were so very plain and just
that a refusal was well nigh impos-
sible. 1t is safe to say that had the
request come from this side and made
for the same reason, or possibly n
less urgent and worthy of consider
alton. it would have been promptly
complied with, for Upton has shown
himself to be a real sportsman and
a gentleman. While nobody on this
side hopes he may ''lift' the cup, all
will wish him better success in the
preliminaries than he seems to have
had so far. .

WANTS TEACHERS CITIZENS.

The Great Falls Leader demands
that the teachers of public schools
be citizens of the United States. 1t
bases it's demands on the fact that
when recently one the schools of that
county closed for the term the prin-
cipal announced that he would spend
his vacation in his old home, Ontario,
and expected to occupy the position
of inspector of high schools of the
province. The fact that he left with
the expectation of securing such an
appointment causes the Leader to be-
lieve that the gentleman is not a citi-
zen of this country, arguing that If
he were, he would not receive an ap-
pointment from the Canadians.
Very correctly the Leader main
tains that a citizen of a foreign coun-
try is not in a position to teach the
| children of this country the lessons
of patriotism which they should be
taught in early life. Neither is he,
it argues, in a position to correctly
or ehclently impress upon the mlnds
Of the children the lessons taught or
supposed to be taught by the study OF
history of the United States.
No reasonable persons can take ex
ceptions to the position Of the Lead
err, as all the argument is in favor of
that position. While no objection
can or should be made to the employ
ment of naturalized foreigners as
teachers, provided they possess the
required qualifications to fit them
for the position, it does, seem as II
one of the requisites required OF an
applicant for a position al teacher
in the public schools Of the country
should be the possession Of full citi-
zenship. There is probably no law on
the subject, but there should be, and

The code Of ethics adopted by some
labor unions for their government
seems to be too complicated for an out
slider to ever hope to comprehend,
much less thoroughly understand and.
grasp. Minneapolis papers bring the
news of a walkout in that city a few
days ago by some structural iron
workers engaged on the new chamber
of commerce building in course of
erection in that city. The cause of
of their ~displeasure was an act COM
mitted by a bricklayer, also a union
man. He had reached a part in his
work where it became necessary to
place an iron beam across.a window.
Probably being in a hurry and nv
ing the required strength, he lifted
the beam from the staging on which
it lay and placed it in position. BY
this simple act he violated one Ct the
rules of the iron workers and they
to a man left the building. 1t seems
according to the rules Of that body
the beam should have been handed
to him by one Of their craft and then
he would have been justified in plac-
ing it wherever he chose. Their ex-
IRENE regard for the rules of the
union cost the sticklers their jobs, for
they were paid off and new men
hired. The bricklayers uphold the
action of the reckless individual be-
so stand by the contractor, as after
due deliberation they arrived at the
conclusion that the iron workers car
ried the matter altogether too far.

plsPLAclNe ENGLISH COAL.

Indications favor the belief that Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach was over san
guine concerning England's position
as a coal exporting nation when he
advocated imposition of an export
duty on that commodity as one
of the means of overcoming the de-
ficiency in the British budget as a
result of the South African war, At
the time he submitted his new finan-
cial measure he made the statement
that no apprehension need be enter
tanned that adoption of the the pro-
posed bill would stimulate the expor-
tation of coal from this country.
While the nation at large did not
share his confidence, the be-
came a law, as it was realized that
something unusual would have to be
done. as the emergency was n re-
curing the application of extreme
treatment. Already there are indi-
cations that the chancellor was wrong
when he backed England's supremacy
against the rest of the world, par
ticularly the United States.
From New York comes the news
that the coal trade of the United
States is watching with deep inter
est the outcome of a plan to invade
the French coal market in competi-
ton with England. While the particu-
lars are not at nand it is known that
two companies have been organized
to carry the invasion into effect. An
interested party is quoted as saying
that over 60 Of the most prominent
American coal and iron dealers are
interested in the scheme and that the
capital involved is $50, 900. 900 OF $780,
900, 900. The success of the venture
is but little doubted, owing to the
fact that British coal now delivered
in France costs more than the Ameri,
cans intend to charge. The differ.
ence in price being in favor of the
Americans, it only remains to be seen
whether the quality proves satisfac'
otry. With this meeting the require
ments, and of this there is said to
be no doubt. no Isl can be ad'
vanced why American coal should not
displace the English article in the
market of France, and thereby add
another to the many advantages
which the United States is enjoying
over it's competitors in foreign mar
ketS.

GIBSON AS A PROPHEN.

Senator Paris Gibson was at Min
neapolis recently and submitted to
the interviewer. Only incidentally
did he have anything to say concern
ing Montana, or it's future prospects
and present condition. But what his
interview lacked in this respect it
more than made up in political talk
and prophecies. Among other pre-
dictions he made was that the state
was safely democratic for a good
many years to come, and then branch
ing out into national politics de-
clared that Mckinley would be sue
ceeded by a democrat. He failed to
give any reason for this belief on his
part, an omission hat robs it of much
interest, for everybody, especially
everybody in Montana would like to
know on what grounds the senator
bases his opinion. The fact that he
also refcained from saying who the
man is that will sit as a democrat in
the presidential chair four years
hence is another source of regret to
the gentleman's friends.
Something that will probably u
his Montana democratic friends more
grief than aught else is that he did
not as much as mention silver, as
that neglect leaves him open to the
suspicion that he is a bloated gold
bug and trains with the Cleveland
crowd. But in maintaining silence
on this subject the senator gave evil
dence Of his good sense. He knows,
no matter what his fellow democrats
Of the state may think, that silver is
a dead duck and will never cut any
figure IN national politics in the flu
ture. It is all we'll enough to keep
it for padding in local platforms, but
that is as much recognition as it will
ever receive, and it is safe to say
that that recognition will not be ac-
corded it much longer, for the local
organization cannot afford to be too
much out of tune with the national
party.
The Great Falls Leader. published
in Mr.. Gibson's home town, says that
he is a prophet not to be trusted and
predicts that the time is coming
when Montana will again be in the
republican column, where it should
now be were it not for an unfortu-
nate combination of circumstances
which have conspired to give the
democrats temporary ascendancy.
Each election has shown, the Leader
says, a gain for the republicans and
a corresponding loss for democracy,
and with the silver question elimi-
mated and the remembrance of the
good government enjoyed under the

A COMPROMISE.

After discussing the matter among
themselves and nearing what the peo-
pie through the press of the state had
to say on the subject, the state land
commissioners apparently agreed on a
compromise on the matter of leas-
ing the public lands reverting to the
state from the general government at
the time of admission. The lands
will be offered for sale, as in the
past, after they have been appraised,
and when they cannot be sold will be
leased, also as in the past, the state
reserving the right to abrogate all
leases whenever opportunity presents
itself for the sale of leased lands. In
response to the demands from many
sections, the board has made a rule
not to lease more than one section
of land to any one person or corpora
ton, adopting this means of prevent
ing the larger cattle and sheep con-
Germs from enjoying a practical
monopoly in certain localities. Wheth-
er the rule will work in the direction
of accomplishing this result remains
to be seen but it is extremely doubt
full. II so willed. the large outfits
will find some way to circumvent the
commissioners. The revenues here,
tofore received from leasing will prob
ably be diminished, while nothing In
particular seems to have been gained,
the state ~reserving the right to annul
leases, should the opportunity arrive
to sell any of the lands under lease.
It looks as though the decision to
reduce the areas of leasable lands In
certain counties. while it may posi-

ITS GOOD EFFECTS.

The promptness and severity with
which the dishonest commissary Off
Gals in the Philippines have been pun
ished can but be productive of much
good in more ways than one. In the
first place it will act as a deterrent
to others who may have lax notions
oncerning the necessity for being hon.
est and prompt them to repress what
ever desire they may have to make
money at the expense of the govern
ment. The knowledge that run.shr
ment swift and severe will follow de-
lection will cause them to hesitate
and resist the temptation to dishon-
estly acquire a little wealth. The fact
that those comparatively high in place
were made to suffer for their mis-
deeds the same as the enlisted men is
proof that position and influence have
no weight when it comes to the mat
ter of enforcing the law and demand
ing exact and s%crupulously honest
discharge of duty.

tives will probably be even greater.
They have received proof that the
American way is different than the
Spanish way. They have been shown
that this government expects every
man to be honest and that dishonesty
is sure to DC punished, no matter
where practiced or by whom. BY sec
ing those in official station called to
strict account they are made to under
stand that position or station makes
no difference in the eye of the law,
but that all are held to accountability
for their acts. The influence the
court martial which tried and convict
ed the men implicated in the steals
that have been practiced ct Manila
| will exert is bound to be far reaching
and healthful and fruitful of much
