WHAT FUNSTON DID.

Love and war. so a maxim Of old phil
osophy tells us. have their own canons
of morality. But there can be no seri-
Gus faultfnding even by the supersensi-
tive with the stratagem by which Gen
eral Funston captured Aguinaldo. This
stratagem was made possible by the dis
covery in Manila of letters from the in
surgent commander in chief directing
Raldomero Aguinaldo to take charge of
inSurgent activity in the central PROV
inces in place of General Alejandrino.
These letters also ordered that four hun
dred men be sent to AGuinaldo as soon
as possible. and thus disclosed the loca-
ton of his headquarters in the town of
Palanan. Isabella province. three hun
dred miles north of Manila. in the widest
and most inaccessible part of Luzon
Here Aguinaldo had been living for
seven months. attended only by body
guard of fifty soldiers. The problem
which confronted General Funston was
to steal upon Aguinaldo unawares. for
if the insurgent chief had even half an
hours warning he could easily escape
through his superior knowledge Of the
country. The conditions called for some
audacious exoedient. Now it happened
that few months earlier General Fun
Ston had captured the camp of insurgent
General Lacuna and secured his seal and
official papers. Out Of this material let

ing Aguinaldo that General Lacuna was

This best company" was impersonated
by eighty Filipino scouts in the American
service. 1t seems 20 us here at home in

even of rashness. for General Funston

their lives on this bold raid into the enc

Funston's first step was to get as near
to Palanan as he could without awaken
ing suspicion. The smart little cruiser

her present service at our Boston navy

MONTANA IS REPUBLICAN.

Taken altogether, the political situa-
ton in Montana is full of encouragement
for republicans. Considering the re-
suits of Mondays elections throughout
the state. the partial defeat in
Eutte loses any significance it
might otherwise have, and is, in
fact, more than offset by the sweep
Anaconda alone. When to that is added
the republican triumphs in Helena, Liv-
ingston, Great Falls and Deer Lodge it
becomes apparent at once that the tide
is turning and will surely sweep Mon
tana into the republican column in time
Tor the next general election. Every
where in the state, with the exception Of
Butte, the rank and file of the party are
taking the keenest interest in the sue
cess of republican principles. There is
enthusiasm and determination to win.
The conditions in this city ought to be
equally satisfactory, vet while the party
is united. there is some lack of that
very enthusiasm so plainly manifest in
the other towns. Something is needed
to overcome this apathy and awaken
party spirit There must be a more
compact organization and strong leader
ship. There now exists no reason why
Butte should not be in political harmony
With the other Montana cities, as indi-
cited by their verdicts on Monday last.
Indeed there is every reason why the
republicans Of Butte should be success
the party will no doubt be put in such
shape that defeat will be impossible.

The election of General James B. Wea-

attracted great deal of attention be-
cause of the generals prominence in ma
tional politics and it has been referred to
as the first case on record where a regu-

afterwards bea1 elected mayor. This is
incorrect. De Witt Clinton was mayor of

was that of James Monroe who served as

j. H. Leyson set good example last
night when he called the attention of
the city council to certain objectiona BILE
practices of the health department.. He
simply discharged his duty as a good
citizen and his letter can hardly fail to
bring about some reforms. The effort of
a health department official to tax Mr..
Leyson 81 per room for disinfecting a
house where there had been a case of
scarlet fever speaks for itself, while
the lax quarantine methods employed
and the general Indifference of the health
authorities, to which Mr.. Leyson calls
attention, are most reprehensible.
Mayor-elect Davey has gone on record
as favoring especial vigilance and faith
fulness in the health department and it is
to be hoped that an end will be made of
this private snap" business as we'll as
to the Indifference of officials and the
careless methods of the department. The
health of the city should be given the
best possible protection. 1t is too serious
thing to be trifled with.

money was not available. The PROPOSE
ton is to be voted on again Saturday
and should be carried unanimously.
There is no reason to suppose that there
will be the slightest opposition to the
tond issue from any quarter, but to
avoid the possibility of any further de-
lay, every person who is registered
should go to the polls and, besides yot.
ing for the three candidates, should
vote af1cNatively on the bond issue.
