III il is true that animals feel pain

DEWEY v THEM.
Enemy Could Have Kept Him
Out Of Manila Day.

Representative Foss, acting chair
man of the house committee on naval
affairs, has received from Admiral
Dewey a copy Of a memorandum pre-
pared by that officers aide, Lieut.. II.
II. Caldwell, upon the recent tests Of
the Holland submarine torpedo boat.
Admiral Dewey, 1t is understood. In.
dorsed the report Of his aide, who ex-
presses the belief that a determined
enemy, with submarine boats OF the
Holland type. could have made impos-
sible the occupation Of Manila bay by
the admirnl's squadron.
The expression Of opinion made by
the admiral was in response to a re-
quest from the senate and house
naval committees. which. before de-
termining upon the action TO take
upon pending bills, desired to learn
she admiral's views.

Very naturally the defeat OF Senator
W. T.. Chandler of New Hampshire for
reelection TO the senate is a cause of
exdltation by the Clark crowd in Mon
tana senator Chandler was a terror
to them last year, while the invcstiga-
ton into Clark's election methods was
being held by the committee ON priyi-
leges and elections of the United States
senate. of which the senator was chair
man. His ability as a lawyer, his
knowledge as a statesman and his keen
sarcasm enabled him To pierce the thin
veneering of truth over the noun
tain of lies produced by the Clark
crowd at that investigation. II was
reported last fall that Mr.. Clark would
place a few millions-if necessary-in
the state of New Hampshire with the
intention Of defeating senator Chand-
Ter. Whether he did So or not is very
doubtful. 1t would seem that the pco-
pie Of that state have tired of senator
Chandler, think he has been in office
Iong enough, and his course on the
money question caused republicans
to turn from him TO some mar sounder
in financial views than the sharp wittcd
senator. At any rate, he is beaten and
Judge Durham, a man of great ability
and a sound republican, will occupy
the place after March 18th next.

THE ARMY CANTfEN.

The diligent and persistent efforts of
the enemies of the army eantcen seem
likely to he crowned with at least tenn
2orary success. We do not doubt the
zeal and sincerity of the opponents of
the cantcen. but we have no confidence
in their judgment. In the canteen sol
diers may obtain beer and other mild
alcoholic drinks, but precautions are
taken against the abuse of this privi-
lege. II soldiers, as well as other men,
will drink alcoholic liquors-and ex-
periencc p.oves that they Wilt is
surely better for them to procure such
liquors in a reputable place, under the
coutrol of the military authorities,
with moderation in their indulgence
enforced. than for them to resort to the
groggerics which usually infcst the
vicinity Of II military post or en-
campment, where the greatest eScesscs
are encouraged, and where the vilest
liquors + sold.
In the cantccn many articles of ne
cessity and comfort are sold besides
beer and other liquors. This is also a
convenience to the soldiers. Further
more the profits of the canteen are div
ided among the Companies of soldiers
to which the canteen is attached, and
greater variety in the ~rationsis thereby
secured, and other comforts and neces-
saries occasionally provided, which, IL
the canteen were abolished, would be
unattainable. II is a mooted question
whether the use of beer and wine is
beneficial, but they constitute a part of
the diet of a large part of the human
race, and it is certain that alcoholic
beverages in some form will be used by
the soldiery of all civilized nations. II
would seem better, therefore, to offer
to our soldiers, through the canteen,
the means Of moderate indulgence in
comparatively harmless beverages, than
TO leave them to the temptations TO in
dulge excessively by which they will
otherwise be beset.
Further, it is the testimony of nearly
all men who have had experience in tn,
matter, that the canteen has proved 1t
self to be a good thing for the army
It's assailants are chiefly men and WON
en- who know nothing practically o
their attacks. They have zeal without
knowledge. They may, and probably
will, overthrow the canteen, but the,
will promote intemperance. They of
fer nothing in place of the canteen, ant
their efforts, II successful, will result
only in taking away one of the few agen
cies which promote the comforts Of
soldiers life.

COUNTY DIVISION.
number

We are informed that Chaplain Stull
late of the First Mont. Inf, now ;
member Of the lower house for yellow,
stone county, has introduced a bin fOr
an act to take away a goodly strip oi
territory from Fergus county and Mt
tach the same to Yellowstone. This
attempt we believe to be wholly unwar
rantablc i'm the nature Of the case. Al
least as many people win be- incommcd
eddy the proposed change, Reflected, a
will be identified by it. Few, IL any.
will he identified by the proposed
change, except those who reside ON the
MuSsclshell river, and the advantage,
10 them will Ice Slight. Such n change
will not benefit the people who live in
the country between the Mussclshcll
valley and the Snowy Mountains. II
is reported that the north line Of town
ship 10 is the proposed new boundary
between the two counties. If this
Measure is adopted, 1t will cut off from
Fergus County Ilalbert, Bercail, Irene,
Yale, Lavina, Barott and other pre-
cincts. The loss of this territory will
he a serious matter to this county. II
will. of course DE n corresponding
gain TO Yellowstone. but We see norca-
son for enriching our ncighbors at our
expense, If a majority Of the inhabi-
tants Of the coveted territory would be
identified by the proposed change, that
point would be worthy of c~onsidera-
tion; but we do not believe that this is
the prime motive i'm the ease. II the
bill becomes a law, we shall feel as il
Chaplain Stull and his aiders and abet-
tors ought to be indicted for grand lar
ccny, and the venue laid in Fergus
County. Meantime. we urge our men,
bers of the Legislature unceasing vigi-
lance in the protection of Fergus Coun-
tvs interests, and recommend to Chap
lain Stull ct al. the considerations of
the tenth and and eighth command
ments. EXODUS, chap: 20, II and lG).
