SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION.

It is a peculiar fact that opposition
to senate bill No. 81, now pending in
the legislature, is confined to only
one little clique or coterie. The bill
simply provides that the law touching
the qualifications of judges in criminal
cases shall be made to apply in civil
cases as we'll. In other words, when
it is believed that a judge is SO biased
or prejudiced as to prevent him from
giving equal and exact Justice to both
parties to a suit an appeal may be
taken to the supreme court for a
change Of venue. No fair minded or
honest person can see any possible OBJ
lection to such a law and as yet no
valid reason has been advanced why
it should not have a place on the stat
utes Of the state. The only ones
working against the bill, and they are
working hard, are the Heinzes and
their coadjutors. This would lead to
the inference that their objection is
based upon a desire to have their
multitudinous cases all tried in GER
tain courts. As their suits all have
their inception in the same judicial
district, it will not require many
guesses to fix upon the particular
courts they are anxious should adjudi-
cate the legal difficulties in which
they are continually finding them
selves.

N IN CIRCULATION.

Baltimore Sun: During the past
year the mount of money in circula-
ton has increased by $198, $50, 900, or
from $25. SO per head of population to
$2S.38. This increase is the more
gratifying in the fact that the changes
in the various forms of currency have
been improvements. Gold has been
added to the amount Of 500, 600, 600
and national bank notes to the
amount of 500, 900, 900. The latter
increase involves no pressure upon the
gold reserve, as a like increase of
greenbacks or silver dollars would
have done. Silver dollas have been
coined to the amount of $50, 600, 600
and subsidiary coins to the amount of
So, 900, 600, but Sherman treasury
notes have decreased $40, 600, 900. The
latter are more Objectionable than the
silver dollars, as they must be re-
deemed in gold on demand. The
"Shermans'' are virtually gold notes
issued agains silver which is depreci-
ated. The present volume of curren-
cey is large. In Secretary Cages
opinion it would be redundant in case
of %stagnation in business. There is
accordingly, the secretary thinks, a
need in our currency of an elastic ele-
ment, so that the volume of currency
will adapt itself automatically to the
varying activities of business. Gold
supplies a certain amount of elasticity,
since it can be imported when wanted
and exported when idle. National
bank notes also increase to a certain
extent when money is in great de-
mand and decrease with the demand.
But the volume of such notes, owing
to the method of issue, changes but
tardily. In a recent interview the Sec
rotary has drawn attention to the
Lowering bill as a measure likely, in
his opinion, to add to the elasticity of
our currency. This measure, if enact
ed, would permit the issue of a small
amount of bank notes not secured by
bonds, but by a guarantee fund and
the assets of the banks. The bond
secured notes have never contracted
readily when unusual demands for
currency subsidized. The notes pro-
posed by the Lowering bill would be
likely to retire more promptly, but
they would not be substituted for the
bond-secured notes and they would
not be added rapidly.

If the Nebraska gentleman quoted
Admiral Sampson correctly, and he
seems to have done SO, having read
from a letter p%urporting to have been
written by the admiral himself, then
the scoring Senator Allen gave him
last Tuesday was we'll merited and
he deserved every word Of it. Every
thing being equal, the fact that a nan
enlists should not bar him from at
tanning the same rank and position
that are coferred to men who graduate
from the naval academy. Some of
the most illustrious names in the mil
itary and naval history of the nation
were borne by men who rose from the
ranks and it is not recorded that they
were not as polite and true gentlemen
in their intercourse with others as
were those with commissions gained
from either one of those great national
schools,

execute and as far as necessary extend
the plans already devised or other
plans to be mutually agreed upon for
the sanitation of the cities of the
island to the end that a recurrence Of
epidemics and infectious diseases may
be prevented, thereby assuring protec-

assurance, the government of Cuba
will embody the foregoing provisions
in the permanent treaty with the
United States.

Just about as the country had begun

just about as the country had begun
to forget all about Professor Ross and
his trouble with Mrs. Stanford a COM
mittee Of inquisitive professors from
the east revived the whole matter by
making a report OF the case, at the in
stance Of the alumni of the university.
The report sets forth that nothing was
discovered by the committee tending
to show mental or moral unfitness on
the part of the deposed professor hat
could be urged against his retention
on the faculty. This report prompted
the president of the institution, David
Starr King, to reply. Truth compels
the statement that the reply does not
materially strengthen to any apprecia-
BILE extent the case of the university's
administration. Summed up briefly it
a simply a recital of the fact that
Mrs. Stanford desired the resignation
of Professor Ross and as the lady is
the one who foots most of the bills
her wish had to be gratifed and Ross
was forced to look for another job.

After continuing for several years a
struggle marked by greater pluck than
Judgment, the Miles City News has
finally been forced to admit that a
straight out and out democratic news
paper cannot hope to maintain exist
ence in Custer county. 1t would be
strange were it otherwise. There are
too many sheep and too many cattle in
that county to make democracy popu-
lar with it's people. They have had
experience under two democratic ad-
ministrations and as those administra-
tions were within years so recent that
a majority of those who survived are
still alive and continue to be residents
of the county it is not reasonable to
suppose that they care for a repetition
or give hearty support to a paper that
advocates a policy and practice found
to be detrimental to their interests.
The News plant has been sold to A.
Buchanan, until recently city editor Of
the Yellowstone Journal, who will re-
it to Forsyth, the capital of the
newly oragnized Rosebud county, and
will use it in getting out the Review,
a paper, which, it is said, will be
without political convictions or afilia-
tions of any kind.

OREGON ELECTS MITCHELL.

Almost On the last minute of the
last hour of the session the Oregon
legislature elected a United Staes sen
ator and thereby gave to the state its
full representation in the upper house
of congress. When it seemed utterly
impossible to agree on u candidate the
name of John H. Mitchell was gre
sented. The nomination instantly
caused a break in the ranks of the
two leading candidates. On the first
ballot. after his name had been sub
mitted Mitchell received 35 votes and
Corbett, republican, 36. Bennett,
democrat, got 10. It was after mid
night when the third ballot was taken
without any noticeable change. A
fourth resulted in a tie between the
two republicans, each having 35 votes.
On the next enough democla ats changed
their votes to Mitchell to give him
45, within one Of the needed majority.
A wild scene then ensued and the ses-
sion was about to adjourn without an
election when after much urging by a
delegation from his county a represent
alive announced a desire to change his
vote to Mitchell and the thing was
done. -..
This will make Mitchell's fourth
term, he already having served
three full terms in the same body.
Because of his advocacy of free silver
he was retired six years ago to give
way to George W. Mcbride, an advo-
cate of sound money. Since then Nit
chell, like many other republicans
who were carried away by the fetch
Of free and unlimited coinage, has
changed this views on the financial
question and is again in full accord
with his party. He is a man Of ac-
knowledged ability and during his
previous incumbency ranked high
among the legislators Of the nation.
It is doubtful whether Oregon could
have sent a better man or one who
would reflect greater credit on the
state. e

REPUBLICANS WHO FIGHT.

Great Falls Leader: The trouble
with a great many people and a great
many politicians, especially those
belonging to the republican party of
the state of Montana, is that they
have conceived in their own minds a
grievance against certain other men,
bers Of the republican party in the
state of Montana, and they insist upon
it that these members, whom they say
are not representative Of the votes of
the republicans Of the state, must be
punished. They set themselves up
not only rs the prosecuting attorneys
and as the witnesses, but arrogate to
themselves the functions of the judge
and jury also, and they say that these
republicans who have borne the brunt
Of the fighting, who have withstood
the de~nunciations and the machina
tlons of the enemy, must not defend
themselves, but must be punished for
doing that which these republicans
who oppose them, believe is wrong.
These pretended republicans who wish
the punishment of the other members
of the party, are without control in
any of the party affairs, and are not
in a condition which entities them to
say who are to be punished or what
members of the party are to be placed
among the sheep or among the goats.
The fatal folly of these republicans
who were opposed to the republican
party in the state, and who believe
that it is better to promote factional
differences and discord among the
members of their own party, is appar-

in the world and the one that all the
others in the country might we'll pat
tern after. but the manne in which
the alleged investigation has been
made does not remove the suspicion
that seems to exist in the minds of
many persons The reasons for this
are various: First. the Il in
which the committee went about to
investigate. No reasonable person
can be made to believe that a body of
men, or a single man can make proper
investigation into the conduct and
management of an institution the size
of the Warm Springs asylum in the
time the committee acknowledges it
devoted to that purpose, and more
particularly not when it is further ac-
knowledged hat part of even that
short time was devoted to eating and
the acceptance of other hospitality
and entertainment at the hands Of the
management. Next must be consid-
cred the conduct of the committee
after its return. Instead of giving
notice of meetings at which statements
and testimony would be heard it ap-
pears to have done nothing of the kind.
1t did. however, submit a typewriter
report of such length and detail that
if published accounts are to be &C.
cepted as true it's preparation between
the time of the committees return
and its submission to the house was a
physical impossibility. Chroniclers
of events in the legislature aver that
when read the report seemed about
as new and interesting to the men sup
posed to have prepared it as it appeared
to the rest of the house. Then the
final refusal to permit testimony to
be heard and the very manifest desire
to choke off everything looking in the
direction of deeper probing gives the
entire matter a peculiar look and the
report, while it may satisfy the legis-
lature does not place the asylum or its
management in a more favorable light
with the people than though nothing
at all had been attempted In truth
it has the very opposite effect. The
fact that charges have been made and
that no occasion was afforded to go
into them will no doubt cause man.
to believe them and also undoubtedly
has caused converts to Mr.. Stull's way
of thinking.

KAIsER's CLOSE CALL
While Out Driving His Carriage
Collides with Elec-
trio Car.

Berlin, Feb. 28-About noon today
Emperor William had a narrow escape
from serious injury while crossing
Unter Den Linden street, when his
carriage came into collision with an
electric street car les the schloss, to
which he was returning. The brake
of the car did not work effectively
and the emperor's coachman barely
succeeded in stopping the horses. As
is was the car shook the carriage
roughly and somewhat damaged it.
The emperor was thrown against the
side of the carriage and slightly
bruised but almost Immediately thrust
his head out to ascertain the cause of
the accident.

THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.

While it may be true that the insane
asylum is the model institution the
contractors claim it to be and the
committee which ate dinner there
reports it is, still the undue haste
manifested by the house in rushing
through the report of the gentlemen
who were the recent guests of the son
tractors seems to have been in bad
taste. 1t is possible that the letters
which Representative Stull read were
written for the purpose of deceiving
and that the gentleman was made the
victim of untruth, but he was entitled
to more courteous treatment than was
accorded him. The peremptory man.
ner in which the house declined to
grant his request for a hearing was a
mighty poor exposition of that legis-
lative courtesy of which we hear so
much, but which in reality seems to
be only a myth. In view of the fact
that he had sworn statements to SUBJ
nit and had been denied the right of
a hearing by the iunketing committee
while that honorable body was in ses-
sion, gave him good cause of objec-
tion to the adoption of the highly
laudatory effusion submitted as the
alleged emanation of the committe.
The assertion of the member of the
committee that Mr.. Stull had not
awaited himself Of the opportunity to
be heard at the proper time was
promptly refuted by that gentleman
and the excuse the committeeman
next sought to offer in extenuatlon of
the committees disregard Of Mr..
Stull's right was as lame as the man
who made it appears to be capable of
making himself ridiculous, and his
capacity in that direction apparently
is without limit.
Only one member Of the house ap-
pears not to have been under the
hypnotic influence of the contractors,
and it is the source of much satisfac-
ton to note that he is a republican.
That member was MI. Hedges. He
was fair enough and honest enough to
insist that the charges preferred and the
letters produced by Mr.. Stull should be
looked into. For that reason he
asked that the report be re-referred to
the committee for further investiga-
ton. OF course, Mr.. Hedges being a
republican, is no more acceptable a
parsonage to the fusion gentlemen
than Mr.. Stull happens to be, and for
the same reason, consequently his sug.
gestion was promptly overridden.
Ahdavits and statements by scores OF
persons were not to be considered in
comparison with the declaration of q
single f%uslonist, and after one of that
persuasion had sung his little song i,
was all off, so far as going further into
the matter was concerned. The repor,
was adopted and Mr.. Stull was at lib
erty to put his affidavits and state
ments with his other curios and pap
ers.
AS the Gazette has taken occasion Il
say a number of times since the mat
ter was first brought up by Mr.. Stull
the insane asylum at Warm Springs
may be the best institution of it's kline

ASKED OF CUBA.

After all that has been heard of the
extortionate and debasing demands of
the administration on Cuba, it would
seem that nothing very unreasonable
is asked in reference to the island re-
public's future relations to this ma
ton. The conditions imposed are not
harsh, neither do they in any way
tend to deprive the Cubans of liberty
or place them in a position of
salage to this country. The relations
which the administration asks shall
exist are such as good Judgment and
wise craftsmanship would dictate,
taking into consideration the relative
geographical positions of the two
countries and the expressed wish Of
the Cubans that we shall be their pro-
tectors and friends against European
aggression or e~ncroachment. The
amendment to the army bill covering
the Cuban situation is as follows:
That, in fulillment of the declara-
tion contained in the joint resolution
approved April 30, 1895, entitled, "For
the recognition of the independence of
the people of Cuba, demanding that
the government of Spain relinquish it's
authority and government in the island
of Cuba and to withdraw it's land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters, directing the president of the
United States to use the land and
naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions into effect" the
president is hereby authorized to leave
the government and control of the
island of Cuba to it's people SO soon as
a government shall have been estab-
lished in said island under a constitu-
tion which either as a part thereof or
in an ordinance appended thereto
shall define the future relations of the
United States substantially as follows:
First-That the government of
Cuba shall never enter into any treaty
or other compact with any foreign
power or powers which will impair or
tend to impair the independence of
Cuba or in any authorize or
permit any foreign power OF powers to
obtain by colonization or for military
or naval purposes or otherwise lodg-
ment in or control owe any portion of
said island.
Secondhand said government shall
not assume or contract any public
debt, to pay interest upon which and
to make reasonable sinking fund pro-
vision for the ultimate discharge of
which the ordinary Of the
island, after defraying the current ex-
penses of government, shall be made
quate.
Three-That the government Of
Cuba consent that the United States
may exercise the right to intervene
for the preservation of Cuban indepen-
dence, the maintenance of a govern
ment adequate for the protection of
life, property and individual liberty
and for dischargirg the obligations
with respect to Cuba imposed by the
treaty of Paris on the United States
now to be assumed and undertaken by
the government Of Cuba.
Fourth-That all acts of the United
States in Cuba during it's military oc-
cupancy thereof are ratified and vail
