MAKE IT UNIVERSAL
Will Be No Restricted Suf-
frage in Future Cuban
Republic.

Havana, Jan. 1O-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention in secret ses-
sion today decided by a practically
unanimous vote to insert in the draft
of the constitution a provision for
universal suffrage in the future re-
public. Only Il vote, it is under
stood, wa cast against the proposal.
Several conservative members, who
are known to be opposed to it were
absent, but the advocates Of universal
suffrage are jubliant and say there
will be no opposition when the ques-
ton m to vote in public session.
Heretofore this subject has been
delicately handled and it was thought
the convention would leave the mat
ter to future legislation.
Friends Of General Maxine Gomez,
who say he is the popular candidate
for president, are jubilant over the
prospects Of an unrestricted vote.

subject is another on which the gov
ernor saw fit to dwell at some length.
This is corporate influence in cleo
tions, which often assumes the pro-
portions Of a determined and success
full effort on the part of certain COR
porations to thwart the manifest de-
sires of the people by ~exerting their
greac power in the opposite direction
and causing men and measures to be
successful that are repugnant to the
majority. AS the democratic party
has been the one which in the past
has received the greatest benefit from
the evil the governor complains of,
the people of the state have some
cause of gratitude to the mel RESPONSE
BILE for the present split in that party
and which made possible the election
of an executive representing the fac
ton of the party, which, like the re-
publican party, has often been made
to feel the effects of that undue influ-
once and interference. The sugges-
tions concerning certain sources of ex-
pense to the state and ~advisability Of
curtailment are also good. His excel
lency's reference to the state prison
being made so attractive that criml-
nails court incarceration there, rather
than avoid it as a place where wrong
and sin are punished, again suggests
the necessity for furnishing occupation
of a hard and laborious nature for
those confined there. Montana is the
only state that can be recalled which
does not compel its convicts to work
and earn the cost of their support and
maintenance.

SENTIMENTAL1STS.

Louisville Courier. Journal: We
are given to boasting that this, is es-
~sentially a practical age, and to laugh
ing CONTEMPORARY at sentiment and
sentimentalists. And yet, whenever
"a fair opportunity offers we forget
everything but sentiment and become
sentimentalists of the sentimentalists.
What was it that prompted us to
lose sleep Monday night sitting up to
hear the clock strike IL, at the close
of a year and a century; to brave the
cold and attend watch meetinR;" to
go out in the icy night and yell and
fire off gun-powder; to fill up with
mellowing "reminiscences Of the past
and providing speculations about the
future, and, perhaps, with more ma
terial and equally affecting draughts?
Largely sentiment!
Not that the Courier-Journal would
criticize or object to such sentiment
Quite the contrary. We believe SEN
timent, under proper conditions, is q
good thing. The point is that while
we are, whether we will or not, sen
timentalists, we should cease to be
hypocrltes and quit sneering and jeer
ing at sentiment.

THEIR COMPLAINT UNJUST.

just why the fusionist papers of the
state, or at least some of them, should
complain because Secretary Of State
Hays has appointed Dave Marks
as his assistant is not to be under
stood. While it is true that Marks
trained with the other fellows during
the campaign, it is equally true that
he has always been a democrat Of the
stanchest sort and with whom loyal
ty to party has been a tenet as strictly
to be observed as the requirements Of
church or creed. Tt should also be-
borne in mind that something was due
MI. Marks. 1t was he who, if report
is to be credited. made possible he
endorsement Of Mr.. Hays by the indie
pendent democratic state convention.
Without the skillful hand and re-
sourceful mind of "Dave' to direct
things that endorsement probably
would never have been given, and who
knows but what the result might have
been different in the case of Mr.. Hays
had it been withheld. At all events the
gentleman owed the urbane David a
political debt and he was honest and
honorable enough to discharge it. BY
doing so he probably has signified &C
quiescence in the demand for party re-
organization and by the name token
undertook to do a little recognizing
on his own account. but if sc it is only
further proof of his sincerity of desire
to see the party in such a position
that the next time instead of only a
partial victory it may achieve full and
complete triumph. He knows also
the value of Cancellation and manifests
a willingness to heal the breach that
now separates the party in this state
as we'll as elsewhere.

GERMANY HOLDS OFF.

Berlin, Jan. 9-Germany is not yet
willing to define her position in refer
ence to Secretary Hays proposal to
transfer the Pekin negotiations to
Washington, according to a statement
made by the high foreign office to a
representative of the Associated Press,
because of a exchange of views be-
tween the cabinet on the subject is
now proceeding. The German foreign
office, however, believes Minister Con-
gers view of the attitude of the en-
press dowager is correct and that the
position of the Chinese court at Sian
Flu is growing more and more untena-
BILE, rendering it probable that the
powers will soon succeed in persuad-
ing the imperial personages to return
tO, Pekin.

JUDGE M1LBURN's SORROW.

In the great loss that he has sus-
tanned and the sorrow that weights
his heart Judge Milburn has the
sympathy of the people Of the state.
Directed by their mandate, he left the
place which had SO long been his
home aud removed to another, there
to assume the duties of the exalted
position to which they had chosen
him. Flushed with the pleasure
that comes from the recognition Of
merit and the bestowal of confidence
and trust, Judge Milburn was on the
threshold of the honorable career
that all. of his Profession hope viii
some time be theirs. Never had the
future seemed fairer or its prospects
brighter. Scarce had his lips cease6
to form the words of the oath tina,

highest law giving body, when they

were called upon in feeble attempt to
express the great pain that was weigh
ing mind and soul at the loss of her
who had always been his most loyal
friend and wisest counsellor. The
honors sought that she might be hon
ored and the sacrifices made that she
might feel the joy that follows sue
cess, all seemed to have been in vain
and the glorious promises of the mo-
ment before vanished, never to return.
The great, overwhelming grief that
filled the heart overshadowed all else
and that which had appeared SO bright
assumed the dreary hue that death
imparts. The voice that so often had
urged on to renewed effort when fail
ure seemed most imminent was hushed
and the heart that had throbbed in
response to his own lay silenced for
ever. The loss sustained is irrepara-
BILE, but if the knowledge of sympathy
lightens the burden that grief imposes
then Judge Milburn's load is lessened,
for all over this state are true hearts
that 20 out to him in this the saddest
hour of his life.
Of her who is dead no higher praise
can be sounded than to say that she
was a womanly woman, a true, sin
cere wife and a loving, affectionate
mother, who wore the diadem OF
noble womanhood in such manner
that never shone regal crown with
greater lustre. -...

HOW! GOVERNOR T0oLE.

To Governor Joseph K. Toole The
Gazette extends it's heartiest greetings
and trusts that the four years ahead of
him may be fraught with happiness
to him and the people who for the
second time have honored him by
making him their executive. Being
of the opposite party, this paper did
all in its power to further the success
of the man who opposed him in the
campaign, believing that in his cleo
tion the interests of the state would
be best ~subserved. A majority of the
voters thought otherwise and its
champion went down in the same de-
feat that engulfed many other good
men. Having fought him openly and
honorably, The Gazette has 'snothin'
to take back" Its only regret is that
it is not privileged to extend it's con-
CALCULATIONS to the man it supported.
Being a democrat, it is hardly prob
ably that Governor Toole's official acts
will at all times receive the endorse
ment of The Gazette, but for all this
it assures the gentleman of it's distin-
guished consideration and hearty sup
port in everything to which it can hon
estly and conscientiously subscribe. 1t
hopes for the best and while republic
can in all things, is not so rankly
partisan as to believe no good what
e may come from its political
enemies.

believe as he believes. Whether they
will take the hint, recant, do penance
and by other ways show they are
genuinely sorry because of their recent
condition of peccancy and ask to be
again taken into the fold remains to
be seen. If they are really DESTROYS of
recognizing the party, they may act
on the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan and
ask to be restored to a condition of
good standing so that they a work
from the inside, rather than continue
their assaults from without the walls.

the law regardless Of their personality.
To this end the salary attached to the
position should be adequate to in
duoe the right class of men to accept
it and fully perform its duties. The
cost, while considerable, would be
money well expended and in the d.
rection of the public good. The coun-
ties should be made to bear a fair por-
ton of the expense, the balance to be
betrayed by the state. But by all
a game should be protected and
now is the time to begin giving it pro-
lection.

ITS LABORS BEGUN.

The seventh legislative session of
Montana has been organized and is
now making the record by which the
future will judge it. While the po-
litical party in control of the body
stands for things and principles which
this paper cannot endorse and for that
reason opposed the successful major
ity of those whose province it is to
represent the state as it's lawmakers,
The Gazette trusts to their wisdom
and honesty to enact only such legis-
lation as shall inure to the benefit and
good name of the state. The fact
that they were the choice of their
respective communities must be taken
as evidence of their standing at home
and that their neighbors repose conf
dence in them and have faith in their
patriotism and integrity. It is now
for them to show that the confidence
has been worthily bestowed and that
they are possessed of the ability and
manhood to fully and properly dis
charge the trust reposed in them. 1t
is in their power to further the inter
ests of the state and add to it's ma
teiral welfare. They are men of in
telligence and proud of the people that
has honored them. That their official
acts will be such as to give testimony
to their patriotism and desire to dc
only that which will enhance the
good name of the state, this newspaper
feels confident. They may err, but j.
SO their errors will be those of judg
ment. They know that the eyes O
the state are upon them and that the.
will be held accountable for all the.
may do. Their first duty is to tn
state and The Gazette with all othe
loyal Montanans expects them to pu
the interests of the state above part
e%xpediency and believes that thei
acts will be governed by the desire t
serve the state first and party and il
dividual last.

VICTORY FOR WRIsKEY.

Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. 10-Judge
A. R. Dewey OF the Sixth judicial dis

PROPOSITION WITHDRAWN.

Washington, Jan. 1O-As some OF
the foreign powers do not look with
favor upon the proposition Of the
United States recently made as to the
withdrawal of certain features OF the
negotiations from Pekin to Washing
ton or some other capital, and other
MOVERS hesitate to decide the ques-
ton, the president has deemed it ad-
visable to Withdraw the proposition
and has directed the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States abroad
to so inform the different govern
ments.

PROTECT THE GAME.

Governor Toole's recommendation
to the legislature for the enactment of
laws protecting the game of the state
strikes a responsive chord in the mind
of every true sportsman and lover of
nature The necessity for such legis-
lation has been apparent for many
years, but never SO much as at the
present time. Settlement and persist
ed hunting have driven game of al
most every description from the
haunts it was wont to frequent and to
seek shelter in the widest and most
inaccessible localities. But even there
it finds no shelter and protection, for
the hunter follows wherever it goes.
Many animals formerly plentiful on
prairie and mountain have become all
but extinct and the same fate now
threatens smaller game.
While it may be only a matter of
sentiment, this demand for the preser-
walton of game, it is a sentiment
worthy of those entertaining it. The
large animals and birds which are be-
ing so ruthlessly slaughtered serve a
double purpose-to add animation to
nature and furnish man with food,
and, in many instances, with raiment.
They should be allowed to multiply
and increase to a reasonable degree
and to better make this possible laws
must be enacted and enforced 70,

lation should make it obligatory por

Reviving the Caiiphats

The practical and immediate effect of the recent anti-Mussulman agitation has been to consolidate the position Of the sultan by rallying to his side his Moslem subjects and reviving the lan- gushing fiction of the caliphate. This is the true meaning of the sultan's jubilee and one may we'll ask whether those who tC k part in the celebrations as rep" yes of ci, lized powers will relish the idea when it is brought home to them. Turkish misrule op- presses Moslem as well as Christian, but, inasmuch as reform has now been synonymous with the sweeping away of the Turks as a nation no improve ment in Turkey can be hoped for with out foreign intervention, and every at tempt in the direction of reform will be strenuously opposed in self-defense by the whole Moslem population of Turkey.-Chieago News.
