Thomas H. Carter.

The rumor comes from Helena that at to-
days session or tomorrow's the Montana
legislature may break it's senatorial dead
lock by electing Mr.. Carter to succeed
himself. This solution of the problem would
reflect credit on the state and win the APP
plause of the country. No other solution is
comparable to 1t. No other available man
represents so much experience or ability, or
would insure the state services so valuable
during the coming six years. Why not Mr.
Carter then? Why not in the circumstances
recommission so strong a man, whose pub
lie record is so good. and whose sympa thIes
are so thoroughly in accord with the best
interests of the west?
At the moment attention fixes upon Mr.
Carter because of his action in defeating the
river and harbor bill. That was a highly
meritorious performance The best inter-
ests of the country demanded 1t. And he
did 1t with a display of unOstentatious
resolution which stamped him as a good
man in pinch. He was no everyday OBJ
structionist. He did not take the floor and
then take a text. and then wander all over
the field of thought from metaphysics to
the making of a jackknife. His text was
to the point. and he stuck to his text His
speech was a thorough overhauling of the
swerable. II would have deserved success
II there had been weeks instead of Only
hours ahead 1t had the ring of conviction,
and 1t carried all of the facts well mar
shaded.
But that was only sample of the man.
Mr.. Carter has at all times exhibited quail
ties of strength and courage in the Senate.
He has not figured frequently in the de-
bates, but he has never failed to score
when he did figure. He has always shown
readiness and preparation. He talks well.
He owns his tongue. He is no wriggler no
time-server. He is a western man of ma
tiOnal sympathies, and he draws no Sec
tional lines He can see the value of keep
ing the west in touch with policies which
make for national advancement
1t Is great opportunity for Montana
She ought not to fail to improve 1t. AS one
of the progressive young states of the west
she is vitality interested in keeping in COM
mission In the upper house of Congress a
man who commands to a large degree the
admiration of his associates, whose way to
a seat there was marked by brains rather
than by Doodle, and who has never failed
while representing her there to keep her
standard well to the front and to show his
fitness for his post.

Mr.. Hill JOcuIar and Hopeful,

A dinner was given recently In New
York by democratic organization in
that city. and a large company gath
cred at the clubs home Among the
number was David B. Hill, and he made
speech Mr.. Hill was in cheerful and even
hopeful mood. and he babe his party
friends look up. In lighter vein he said:
i desired to come here tonight because
read a snort time ago a message from
distinguished democrat Of the country who
said that hereafter the rank and file should
have chance. Hence 1 came"
This was all very well for humor. but
how about harmony? Mr.. Hill has never
been over strong with the Cleveland people
and a little :dIg" like this will not escape
their attention They are as sensitive about
Mr. Cleveland as Mr.. Cleveland Is about
himself. and the individual who pokes fun
at their hero commits very serious ofYense
In their eyes To man. therefore they
may be expected to make a note of this.
and at the proper time resent II.
But maybe Mr. Hill doesn't care. Maybe
h spoke with the view Of having his words
sink into the souls of the C1evelandites
Maybe he sees. as others do. that IL demo-
cratic prospects for success In 1904 begin
to brighten he Is likely to have Mr.. CIeve-
land for a rival for the democratic nomina
ton for President. and he thinks II just as
well to jolly him in free. rival fashion from
the outset. And maybe he is right The
Cleveland men are not likely to become
Hill men in any circumstances, while the
anti-Cieveiand men may enjoy these little
,hruSts at one whom they consider the
partys wrecker.
This was Mr.. Hilrs message on the sub
Jet Of the present and the future:
There are gatherings everywhere in this
country this winter Of democrats who real
lie the necessity not only of united action
but Of earnestness in order to place our
party in a position to win state and ma
uUnal victories IL is a good sign to see
democrats getting together and manifest
ing, even in this hour of defeat and tribu-
latl0u, an interest in the cause We have fol-
lowed for many years.
''On the cardinal principles OF government
there IS no division among democrats, and
on them the democratic party can wage a
night against the forces OF Capitalization
Of plutocracy and OF prohigaey. II we are
true TO these principles we will I'm the near
future win a great victory"
Well. yes. There are gatherings here and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1901-03-06

there, and harmony is the watchword, but
how much harmony is secured? There was
a gathering al Columbus. Ohio on the even
ing OF Mr.. Lincoln's birthday, but Mr.. Hill
wasn't there. Mr.. Bryan was, and he made
the principal speech. He still adhered to
the Chicago platform, and Mr. LentZ. who
was master of ceremonies, nominated Mr..
Bryan for third try at the presidency.
And now at this New York gathering Mr..
Bryan is absent, and Mr.. Hill attends and
makes the principal speech. But nothing
is said about the Chicago platform, be-
cause the bare mention of it in terms of APP
prevail would have soured every dish upon
the table. The company would have felt
affronted, and would have dispersed in high
dudgeOn.
What are the cardinal principles of gov
eminent, therefore, on which there is no
division among democrats? But was Mr..
Hill merely indulging in the pleasing gem
eralities of after-dinner oratory, and aim
ing principally at sending everybody home
in happy frame of mind?

ley last Monday. Jefferson's two addresses
were 1.500 and 1900 words in length re-
spectively. and Madison's covered LOO and
1900 words. Monroe was more yoluhle than
his predecessor, requiring 3.1e0 and 400
words to state his purposes. John Quincy
Adams was satisfied with 2, 200 and jackson,
who was never known a man of speech,
CHANGED to speak just l. 100 words at each
Inauguration. Van Buren, used $500 words
to declare himself. The record was estab-
Iished by VIM Henry Harrison with 100
words, his being the longest inaugural and
the shortest term in the history of the Of
flee. His successor, Tyler. was brief, with
1,4OO words Folks speech went up to
1850 and Taylor's fell back to ], 100. Mil
lard Fillmore. succeeding to the presi-
dency on Taylor's death, made no inaugural
remarks. Pierce's speech was 300 words
long, Buchanan's 200 and Lincoln's first
$40. Notwithstanding the extraordinary
situation, Lincolns second inaugural was
very brief. only 600 words. Andrew john
sons was naturally short well, $50. be-
ing thus next only to Washington's second
for brevity. Modern inaugurals have been
of the following lengths: Grant, LOO and
1900: Hayes, 1900; Garfield, 5000; Arthur.
400 (publshed); Cleveland, 1859; Harrison,
400, and Cleveland, 1000.

The cable reports that as the day for
breaking camp approaches, the officers at
Pekin are fraternizing after the fashion Of
their home sentiments. The parting social
functions are bringing together the Eng
lish, Germans, japanese and Americans in
one group. and the Russians, French, and
Italians in another. But everythingis going
off smoothly, and the promise Is that the
campaign will come to an end with each
power on fairly good terms with all the
others. and with a reasonably good opinion
of itself.
The experience has been in every particu-
lar unusual. and 1t ought to prove of great
benefit, in the way of introducing the pow
ers to one another in a military sense.
Some of their picked troops have been in
action together as allies. have been neigh
bors in camp life. have been on parade for
general inspection. and in a measure have
illustrated the spirit and endurance of their
respective nationalities. No other event
may bring them together soon again as al
lies Events are possible at any time which
may bring some of them into the field as
enemies. cOntending for supremacy in some
other venture. But whatever the future
may have in store. the men of the world
who have assumed with every right respon-
sibility for progress and civilization now
have better acquaintance with one an
other than ever before, and may be expect
ed to profit by that knowledge to the fullest
extent. If allies again, they will move to
their mission with enthusiasm; if enemies
with due appreciation of what will be
necessary to win.
Absolute frankness requires the admission
that the Japs have been the revelation of
the campaign. Not that the American, the
Englishman, the German the Frenchman
the Russian. or the Itauan has not won
praise, for all have measured up we'll to
the requirements of the occasion. But the
Jap was new man in such company He
had not shown himself before in fighting
trim as a champion of law and order in
their interna- iOnal relation. But he has ac-
quilted himself with the highest credit and
demonstrated his right to a place among
the best and bravest of the worlds soldiers
He has, shown courage, endurance the
fruits of a thorough drill, and the capacity
to bear part alongside the trained men of
the other nationaEties. That he Is destined
both as soldier and civilian to play a great
part in the worlds affairs is far beyond the
slightest question. And America for whose
genius and welfare he feels admiration and
solicitude. can well afford TO salute him
cordially and wish him long life

Presidential Addresses,

Kinley's inaugurals the thirty-two presiden-

2.100 words, thus being trifie shorter than

DisgracefuI, if True.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

1t is to be hoped that the reports Of the
disorders in Washington, in which some of
the members of Battery b are said to be
involved, are exaggerated But un ess they
can be shown to be largely Fictitious It IS
necessary to say that the affair is a dis
credit to the city and a blot on the discI-
pline of the National Guard. 1t may be
inevitable that on such a trip a few-let
us hope a very few-of the soldiers should
drift into places where they should not be-
But that having got into a row there they
should resist the police, and then threaten
to lynch colored member of the Washing
ton police for attempting to restore order IS
license beyond excuse. II the visits of the
National Guard to inaugurations cannot be
made consistent with good order and cis-
ciplne the practice of those quadrenniaI
trips should be abandoned.
