Of course, the cup remains here a
little longer and anybody that wants
will have to come after it. But from
the failure that attended the efforts
of that rare old sportsman and gen
tleman, Sir Thomas Upton, to lift
it, it is not likely that a challenge
will find it's way to the desk of the
secretary of the New York Yacht
club within the next day or two. The
proposition Of the London newspaper
that only by an exchange of crews
can be question of superiority Of craft
and men be effectually decided may
be all we'll enough, but it is doubtful
whether the gentlemen most interest
ed in the matter will consent to a
race under such conditions. But if
they should the ace would be even
more interesting than any of those
which have just been sailed.

KEEPING CLEAR or FACTIONS

Omaha Bee: President Roosevelt,
says a Washington dispatch, to the
Philadelphia Ledger, is beginning to
have his troubles over the federal
offices and over expressions attribut-
ed to him by rival politicians that he
is particularly a friend and will do
their bidding, but the correspondent
predicts that the president is not 60
lag, to be drawn into a factional' fight
in the party anywhere. This is to be
expected of a man who has had the
eXp&rience in politics that Mr.. Roose-
welt has and is so thoroughly famil-
lar with our political history.
If there is danger anywhere Of a
factiorsal fight over Tire federal Offices
it is liz, the presidents own state and
he undoubtedly knows how to deal
with any difficulty Of this kind with
out being drawn into it. Twenty years
ago a change in the Office Of collector
Of the port of New York produced a
political disturbance which ended in a
tragedy. That ofice!is noNT a factional
issue The incumbent. Mr.. BfdweIlr
was Te-appointed by President McKi11-
ley, hut the senate did not act upor,
it,. There is a faction; Of republicans
opposed to him which is expected to-
urge the president to- withdraw his
rame from the senate. Tlas is not
likely to be- dot1e ant7im that event Mr..
Roosevelt may incur" the hostility Of
the faction, but he. Will be fully jlesti-
fed in standing bytheacsion Of his pre-
decessor,,. whose reappGintmept of the

benefit, while at the same time we
help other nations into a partial pros
perity at least.
There Is not a jobbing firm of i'm.
portance on the Pacific coast that is
not establishing connections in China
and Japanand the Straits Settlements,
This means something to this coun.
try, for out Of It will come more
trade with the orient. This in turn
will mean a greater development of
manufacturing in China but neverthe-
less it will mean a vast increase of
our business with Pacific ports.
And the people have not awakened
to the Importance of Alaska. It's per-
manent have not been
touched. It has agricultural possibil-
tiles that have scarcely been suggest
ed. There are valleys there that will
become large producers of barley.
The seed business with Alaska is al
ready quite important. The construc-
ton of the proposed Croker rail
road into the territory will do much
to open the country for settlement.
The terrors of the White Pass have
already passed away.
Never in the history of the country
has the needs of the nation called
for greater craftsmanship in congress
than now. It is q, time when the
policies are national rather than po-
litical or pertaining to parteis. The
south recognizes. this and the south
ern states are offering now to meet
the administration half way in the
settlement Of these questions.
This is an indication that the coun-
try realizes it's opportunity anu the
belief is that our good times will be
preserved, through the exercise Of
good judgment.

Kansas City JMrnal:. The naIree

Mckinley were alive to give answer
to this suggestion he world be the
first. ter oppose it, far his conceptions
of national dignity and historic con-
sistency were clear and broad.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: It is a
happy suggestion that the name OF
the Philippines should be changed to
the Mckinley Islands, The present
title commentaries the reign OF a
powerful Spanish tyrant, one OF the
most unlovabfe figures in European
history. There are peculiarly strong
reasons why the name of Mckinney
should be applied to the archipelago
now that it is a part of the territory
of the United States. The late pres
ident faithfully represented the honor
and genius of the American people
when he decided that the treaty with
Spain should include the acquisition
of the islands by this country.
Detroit Free Press: Whoever made
the suggestion that the Philippine Is
lands be renamed the Mckinley Is
lands made a very foolish one. II

that acquired the territory. When
Florida was annexed nobody thought
of substituting Monrovia for the Span
ish name SO fragrant with poetic and
pious suggestion. Texas was not re-
c~hristened for Polk or Scott, or Tay-
lor O Houston or any man that had
anything to do, directly Or Indirectly,
with it's coming into the union or re-
naming in the union. California is
not the Latin for Fremont and nobody
ever insisted that we must give Alas
ka a new name in order to do honor
to Seward.

where THEY r

While deploring the fact that. Judge
Lynch held a brief, but highly sue
cessfuI and exciting session of. his
court at Helena last Tuesday night,
all the state. newspapers which have
commented on the fact are unani,
mously of the opinion that the pun
ishment melted out to the defendant
was not too severe, in truth the con-
census of opinion is that he got ex-
actly what he deserved. Another mat
ter on which all seemingly are agreed
is that the Laws should be changed
and the crime of rape made a capital
offense. Meanwhile the investigation
ordered by Judge Smith is proceeding
and already one arrest has followed.
The father of the victim of Brady's
lust has been taken into custody.
While he admits that he was there
or whereabouts when the little affair
eventuated, he denies that he struck
Brady just before he was hauled aloft.
1t is probably unnecessary to say
that the mere fact of Pugsley's arrest
is not evidence that he will be con-
victed. Helena jurfes are to be con-
sidered the same as those Of other
communities and Helena men are In
doubtedly animated by the same mo-
tives and to a great extent governed
by the same impulses that find place
in the minds of men residing else
where.

DECIDEDLY B~OSTONESQUE.

Boston has long enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the home of the
crank, prominently so, and also as
the place which may be relied upon to
harbor sentiment and thought on al
most every subject of natioAal inter
est invariably in opposition to that
entertained by the rest of the people
OF the land. This is probably the re-
suit of the greater intelligence OF it's
inhabitants and their intellectual su.
p%eriority to the other human atoms
that go to make up the nation. While
the other American citizens are still
in their A. B. C's on questions involv-
ing thought and are laboriously strug-
Cling with the process of reasoning,
B%ostonian may be depended upon to
have solved them in detail and crap
ping with new subjects which in the
course of years may finally penetrate
the denser minds of the commoner
stuff of which his brothers are made
and cause them to entertain the mis-
taken notion that they have added to
the store Of the worlds learning and
increased the intelligence of mankind.
This applies to all matters, whether
of the problems pertaining to sociol-
ogy, economics, mental development
and or any of the other questions with
which the student delights to strug-
gle. This superiority gives the Bos-
tonian an unreasonable advantage
over all others and enables him to be
ever in the lead, with the rest of the
world slowly following.
But it is in matters connected with
what he loves to designate as the
higher civilization" that the bean
lover excels and gives him much of
the pre-eminence which is his. 1t is
a handy phraze and whenever he
may find himself cornered he always
has it to fall back On. No matter
what the issue may be the interests
of "higher civilization" demand &C
ceptance of his notions and submits
