miliar with this particular case, being
at the time employed OIL n of the
newspapers Of the city in which the
murder was committed-Butte. A
few minutes after it's commission he
interviewed the murderer and the lat
ter several times repeated the state
mant that he had Thought it all out
and made up his mind just what to
do" His victim, like himself, was
colored. Shortly afterward the II
derer was arranged before Judge Nc
Hatton, then on the bench, and en-
tered a plea of guilty. The judge ac'
cepted the plea and without looking
into the case imposed a sentence OF
imprisonment. 1t is true that the
woman killed was one of the unfortu-
mates who live off their shame, but this
did not lessen the fact that she was
human and that her killing was cold
blooded and premeditated murder and
the perpetrator Of it should have
suffered death.
In connection with the boards as
| sertion of unjust convictions" the
Great Falls Lender makes the follow
ing very sensible suggestion:
We believe that the pardoning
power should be greatly ci1cumscribed,
and should only be allowed in extreme
cases where new evidence is present.
ed showing the innocence of a man, OF
new facts make their appearance show
ing that he has received too severe a
sentence. These facts should be well
defined and should be passed upon by
men who are not state officers, and
who are not liable to be influenced
by pressure brought from political
sources. In fact, thinking the whole
thing over, it is reasonable that the
pardoning power should be confined
entirely in cases where new evidence
is presented. All punishments OF
prisoners should fit the crimes COM
mitted, and to allow a number Of pris-
on commissioners, years afterward, to
commute the sentences imposed
seems a foolish performance and is
often used as an excuse for the COM
mission OF crimes. A imam is not de-
tered from the commission of a crime
when he knows that he has influential
friends and that he will only have to
serve a few years in a penitentiary and
be then released. +.

WHAT THE RICH HAVE DONE.

Butte later Mountain: The closing
years of the old century were m
able for the generous way in which
the prosperity that has come to indi-
viduals was shared with the public.
A compilation made by the Chicago
Tribune shows that the benefactions
during 1900 to colleges, hospitals,
schools, libraries, museums, art gal
leries, churches and other public in
situations in the United States
amounted to 500, 600, 900. This is al
enormous figure, and yet, on referring
back to the pre- ,eding year, we find
that similar requests and donations
exceeded those Of 1900 by over $780,
600, 900.
It is an encouraging sign, also, to
note that of the contributions made
last year, one-half, or $50, 600, 900
went to educational institutions. The
libraries received $6, 700, 600 Of which
over 49, 900, 900 was contributed by
MI. Carnegie. Upwards of $ls,O0O,-
900 went to general charities, while
the churches received nearly $9,OoO,-

THE RAILROAD COMBINE.

While the alleged plan Of the rail
roads to inaugurate a system by which
undue competition may be done away
with and rates maintained cannot ex-
actly be called a trust, it comes
dangerously near the line which di-
vides the trust and the independent
conduct of a certain branch of business
or trade. Perhaps wherein the move
ment comes nearest to being a trust is
that part of the alleged proposed agree
ment in which it is stipulated that
each road is to be assigned an equit-
able share Of the business of carrying
freight, which in effect is practically

R O IN PRINCIPLE.

According to report a movement is
on foot to which no good republican
Of the state can give his consent.
This is a motion in the direction of a
fusion of populist, independent demo-
crat, laborite and republican legis-
lators having for it's object the election
of two senators, M a populist or Ia
borite, and the other a republican.
The plan is said to have SO far pro-
crossed as to have reached the stage
where a caucus has been held to dis
cuss it.
The Gazette, as a loyal republican
paper, feels it it's duty to unalterably
oppose any project having such an al
lance in view. Better for the party
to have no senatorial representative
than one obtained at such a cost. II
the populists, independent democrats
and. laborites really desire to render
the state a service by freeing it from
the danger of domination by the ''vin-
dicator" element, a danger that now
seems imminent, and spare it the hu-
initiation that threatens it, they will
have the opportunity to do so by vot-
ing for a republican. So far the re-
publicans are willing to accept them as
allies, but there the alliance must
stop. No trade or agreement by which
republican votes shall go to any man
not a member of the party.
The populists, -laborites and indie
pendent democrats are but men who
have become dissatisfied with democ-
racy as it exists in Montana and have
left it and affiliated with political
organizations as '~evanescent as they
were uncalied for. Their very small
ness Of number in the legislature
shows the weakness of their respective
parties and two years hence, it is safe
to assume, their number will be even
smaller, for the parties to which they
owe their present positions will have
ceased to exist and the only course
that will remain open to them will be
to affiliate with one of the two remain
ing parties. 1t is easy to surmise
which one of the parties it will be.
For that reason it would be folly for
the republicans to consent to any such
trade as outlined in the reports re-
ferred to. The republicans simply
cannot afford to make it. They were

feel one the worse, England will
feel a whole lot better and prepare it
for the outbreak against this coun-
try when the ministry's action on the
senate's amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is announced. 1t
may be taken for an assured fact that
the London papers will be so filled
with virtuous indignation when that
event takes place that their present
wrath toward Russia will be forgotten
instantly and Uncle Sam will come in
for mi of the periodical attacks and
which have been of 20 frequent occur
that he no longer pays attention
to them. In time they will get over
their fit of temper, the same as they
have in the past, and some other ma
tion may prepare itself for attention
of the same sort.
With it's hands full in South Africa
and France making faces at it, not to
mention the others who would like to
take a fall out of it, no wonder Eng
land is not in the best of humor just
now and that its newspapers are in
clined 10 be even more cburlish and
disagreeable than ever. We're the
tight little isle not SO wholly occupied
in SO many directions at once, per-
haps something more fruitful of re-
suits than mere growing might occur,
but as long as present conditions OBJ
tain the Lion can do nothing more
dangerous than roar, even though his
roars be all the fiercer because of the
knowledge of his almost utter help
lessness.

elected on the basis Of representing a
great party that stands for principles;
that has q we'll defined and consistent
policy. To aid in the election Of any
man who stands for no other principle
than opposition to one man or faction
would be an expedient little short Of
reprehensible and the basest sort Of
treason to a great party and those who
subscribe to it's tenets.
The independent democrats, labor
ties and populists can do the state a
great and lasting benefit, but in re-
urn they must expect no other re-
ward than the satisfaction begotten of
the knowledge of a duty we'll and un-
selfishly performed.

~SLANDER1NG THE COURTS

The report of the state board of
pardons in which it attempts to justi-
fly the many instances of clemency
shown to convicts in the past year by
referring to what it calls unjust con-
victions, " has aroused considerable Of
a storm throughout the state. Many
of the newspapers have taken up the
matter and they are not at all compli-
mentary to the board in the remarks
they see fit to make. Very rightly
they take issue with the board and lit
sist that the courts and juries trying
accused persons are more competent to
Judge of the guilt or innocence of the
persons on trial than is the board of
pardons considering the case years
afterward and then hearing only one
side, that presented by those seeking
to obtain a pardon. It is a notorious
fact that Montana juries are the most
merciful of any called to sit in judg-
ment ON those accused of crimes. Too
often is that mercifulness permitted to
assume the form of weakness and
udlin sympathy and men who
should by right be sentenced to long
terms of imprisonment or death are
acquitted. If anywhere in the
world criminals or supposed criminals
receive fair and impartial trials it is
in the state Of Montaan and it is an
unjust reflection on the courts of the
state for the board of pardons to assert
that some men have been the victims
of unjust convictions. Unfortu-
nately the same may not be said of
the board itself, for it's acts have not
all been in the direction of justice and
for the maintenance of law and order.
Only recently it released a murderer
from the penitentiary who vas serv-
ing as just q sentence as ever was pro-
nounced on a guilty person. In &C.
ommending the man for executive
clemency the board laid great stress
on the fact that he had served in che
regular army and his former captain,
among others, prayed for his release.

MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED

The entire civilized world mani.
tested pleasure and satisfaction at the
information sent out a few days ago
from Pekin that the Chinese govern
ment had consented to the demands
of the powers and would sign the joint
agreement. 1t was believed that the
announcement signalled the restora-
ton of peace and the end Of the
parlous times that have prevailed in
the Flowery Kingdom for months
.nast. Just as this belief was begin
ming to become firmly fixed along
comes another dispatch stating that
while China has acceded to all de-
mands made upon her, the trouble
is not yet by any means over. The
correspondent sending the information
says that the agreement accepted pro-
vides only generally for the mainten-
ance of commercial treaties with the
powers signatory to the joint note.
The anticipated trouble will come
when the time arrives for the settle
ment Of the indemnities and the re-
arrangement of commercial treaties
and deciding upon their details. For
the sake of future harmony it is es-
sential that there shall be no discrim-
nation in the making of the new
treaties. Nations, as we'll as individ-
nals, are jealous and should it develop
that by covert arrangement one power
has secured commercial advantages
over another or all of them much dis
satisfaction will ensue and the ever
present ''wal cloud'' may again MS
sumo a monochrome of stygian dark
ness. ..
To prevent the possibility of any
sharp practice on the part OF one or
more of the powers it is probable that
a general convention will be framed
which will receive the signatures OF
all the powers and insure uniform
treatment to all. 1t is understood
that such a convention is the desire OF
this government. If such is the case
it will probably follow, as this nation
manifested a power in the preliminary
proceedings leading up to the framing
and acceptance of the joint note that
will not be sighted willingly by any
of the other allies when it comes tc
making the final settlement. At all
events, the administration may be re-
lied upon to see that the United States
in nowise gets the worst Of any ar
rangement that may be made.

school children. This was decided

EDUCATING THE FILIPINOS.

William E. Curtis, Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Record,
gives the following interesting report
of the military governor Of the Philip
pines:
One of the most gratifying features
Of the report Of the military governor
of the Philippine islands is his account
of the activity of the soldiers in estab-
fishing a system of education in the
islands, which until now has been al
most entirely dependent upon the par
ish schools. In many localities there
we're no schools whatever, and the in
habitants eagerly avail themselves of
advantages which the schools estab-
lished by the provisional government
have afforded. Until the end Of the
fiscal year, on June 80 last, the schools
were under the charge of the military
authorities, and were established in
all the towns where there we're garri-
sons. The local commandments de-
tailed officers to organize them, and
plenty of competent teachers were
found among the enlisted men. Since
the beginning of the present fiscal year
the school system has been turned
over to the civil authorities, with Pro-
lessor Atkinson as superintendent, and
is now being even more rapidly devel-
oped.
The navy has not been behind, and
has established at Cavite a nautical
school for the education of natives in
the science of navigation. Lieutenant
Commander Cottman organized the
institution, and about a year ago wal
succeeded by Lieutenant George F.
Cooper, who is making a great sue
cess of it.
The methods adopted conform as
nearly as possible to those Of the
! United States naval academy, except
that the course of instruction is not SO
advanced. 1t extends for there years,
and is made as practical as possible.
Theoretical instruction is supplement-
ed by actual experience. After hav-
ing spent three years in the school a
graduate will be fully competent to
serve as an officer on any of the coast
ing vessels in the Archipelago, and
within a few years there will be
plenty of material in the Philippines
for an intelligent naval reserve COM
posed entirely of natives.
