The sam Francsco Call is one Of the
newspapers that does not propose to let
the yellow sheets of Mr.. w. II. Hears.
successfully set up the defense that
tine attack upon his newspapers is the
result of envy en- the part of his rivals.
The Call nails him to the cross. To
HeagSt's noisy denials that he ever
ma,igned the PRESIDENT without cause and
sought to stir UP the passions of the
ignorant by darnasosu appeals to their
rrejudices, the Call replies i'm this strong
language:
Did you not lie when you said of Nc
Kinley: He has made hire white house
the headquarters Of a corrupt trust
lobby He has made the white house the
stronghold of tariff jobbery. 1t lis MOTOR
ious that he has mortgaged and sold the

tile incompetent poltroon?' Did you not
lie when you said Mckinley and the
Wall street otabins't are ready ITO sur
render every particle Of national honor
and dignity?' Was it not a lie when you
said Of the Philippines and Porto Rico:
William Mckinley is ruling them With
an arbitrary disregard of law that
George III never dared to exhibit in

The strike in San Francisco, which
began last April and extended from the
Union Iron works to many industries
which were the very life of the city, is
now within sight of amicable settlement.
It's effect has been disastrously felt from
one end of California to the other-a dis
lance of over a thousand miles. The ma
chinists, freight handlers, longshoremen,
cooks and walters, butchers, and many
other workmen have lost several months
time and millions of dollars in wages.
the business men have lost a still larger
amount, while fruit growers and farmers
suffered to an extent almost incalculable,
as much of their product was destroyed.
The employers of the striking workmen
Will doubtless decline to place an esti-
mate upon their losses. but they must
have been very large. For want of load
ing. many owners of ships were unable
to conduct their business. In a few days
one side or the other of this bitter con-
troversy may be able to point out some
advantage gained by stubbornly refusing
to settle, but in the light Of present
knowledge there is nothing but loss in
sight

nflENA'S BRIGHT FUTURE.

The Helena newspapers estimate the
value of real estate improvements In the
CAPITAL this year at $1,500,oO0. That is
a good showing for the old town, and
tells Of the confidence of moneyed men
in its future stability. OF late years the
contiguous districts once supposed to be
worked out have come into prominence
again, owing to the cheaper methods of
treating ore and reduced rates Of trans
portation. The camp of Marysville was
supposed to be closed for repairs several
years ago, but the old mines and mills
keep at work just the same. Last week
the pumps were pulled from the lowest
level of the Drumlummon, yet in the
upper workings there is enough ore to
last many years longer. When the old
Empire mine was under lease to the
Longmaids no one supposed they would
leave a pound Of pay ore in sight when
they stopped work, yet there Is today in
Butte gentleman recently arrived from
the Lake Superior mining country Who
has taken another lease on the Empire,
and who reports many thousands of tons
of seven-dollar gold ore available for ex-
traction. With new pumping machinery
and a new cyanide plant, he proposes to
place the Empire on the dividend list
again.
From other districts adjacent to Hell
ena equally encouraging news reaches
the Inter Mountain. The old town is III!
right. Long may she wave!

to the well being and safety of the
republic. The nation is confronted
at home by the malign influence of
corruption aud plutocracy and it is
threatened abroad by the machina-
tions of the EN- blems of constitutional
government and popular liberty. 1t
becomes our part, as patriots and
democrats, to strengthen our party
organization, to unite all elements of
opposition to radicalism, to organize
for future contests upon right lines,
so as to make national victories again
possible, to avoid recrimination and
to subordinate all selfish and personal
considerations in the exhibition of a
widespread national and party patri-
otism
1--WE should stand as solid pha-
lanx in favor of strict construction
of the federal constitution. for the
preservation of the reserved rights of
the states, for the maintenance OF the
constitutional currency of our fathers,
for a system of public taxation i'm
posed for public purposes only, for
economy in all public expenditures
and of the supremacy of the constitu.
ton. with all its guarantees, over
every portion of our national jurisdic-
tion, and we should resist by every
honorable means in our power the re-
publican efforts to fasten upon our
country the evils of militarism, the
wrongs involved in the diversion of
public moneys in the shape of con-
gressional subsidies, the tendencies
toward Capitalization of power and the
substitution of imperialistic ideas for
the plain and simple theories of demo-
cratic government. Upon all these
issues the democratic party is right,
and sooner or later the right will
surely prevail"

SENATOR HoAR said some severe
things about the Philippine section of

day. He pointed out that it practic-
ally put all the public lands and
franchises of the islands at the dis
posal of Mr.. McKinley's proposed
civil government. 1.-THE bald propo-
sition is" he declared, 'sthat the pub
lie lands and franchises of $4,000, 600
of people shall be sold by Americans
to Americans as. upon the whole, the
best means of pacitication. The best
means of paeifying man is for one
foreigner to take and sell his property
to another foreigner-and that is the
method by which we are to teach the
principles of liberty and self-govern-
ment." Mr.. Hoar moved an amend
ment to block the spoilation of the
islands on this plan, and it ought to
be adopted,
