because he did not heed their noisy
demands and engage in . war when
the country was totally and utterly
unprepared for the struggle. AS long
as possible the president did every
thing that an honorable man could
do to avert the war now designated
by his traducer as a cowardly and
wanton war and for this he was de-
nonuced at the time the same as he is
now denounced by that newspaper.
After the war with Spain had ended
and hostilities we're transferred to the
Philippines the same newspaper and
it's party caused a prolongation Of the
struggle there by encouraging the in
surgents and for which encouragement
they were indicted by the dying
breath of General Lawton. But
further comment is unnecessary. The
attack comes from a source which at
all times is blinded by unreasonable
partisanship and which considers dis
tortion of truth and Justification of
history, if it thinks a point can be
made against the administration, as
one of the most laudable things posi-
BILE of accomplishment.

RARoMETRlcAL INDICATION.

The condition of the general bank
ing system is generally accepted as a
barometer indicating the commercial
and Industrial condition of the coun-
try and therefore the splendid showing
made by the banks throughout the
land must be taken as indicating a
remarkably healthy condition of at
fairs in other branches of business.
According to a statement credited to
the controller of the currency, made a
few days ago, the resources of the
banks are greater than ever before
in the history of the system and the
condition of the banks generally is
highly satisfactory. 1t stands out in
marked contrast against the time
when the republican party was re-
turned to power during the last years
preceding which event failures were
of common occurrence and the
number of banks which permanently
suspended was the largest since the
national banking system was inaug-
urated. Last year the total number
of failures was only five. During the
six months of the present year even
banks went into the hands of receivers,
a majority of which were compelled
to suspend through the dishonesty of
officials who used the funds entrusted
to them for private speculation dur
in the spanmodic movement on Wall
street, which wrecked SO many indi-
viduals and also firms.

AN CHARGE.

Some of the American newspapers
now pretend to believe that the
troops in the Philippines have grown
~callous and commit murder of the
natives whenever possible. In sup
port Of this accusation they are dwell
ing upon the great disproportion be-
tween the number Of killed and
wounded in each of the numerous
skirmishes and battles that have been
fought in the islands. The Forty-third
infantry is held up as an aggregation
of cold blooded murderers because
during fourteen months it was In the
field it killed LIS Filipinos and
wounded only 335.
Such a charge is an outrage on the
American soldiery and is one that
those making it should blush to enter
against men of their own blood and
nationality. It is one that should only
be made against barbarians and saw
ages engaged in warfare. The Amer
lean soldier, above all others, has
ever been noted for his humanity and
regard for the wounded and those
made prisoners and to accuse him at
this date of following the methods of
savages is a shame and disgraces
those making the charge. No officer
who has ever commanded a body of
American soldiers would permit the
wanton and deliberate killing of the
wounded of an enemy, much less give
orders to that effect, as the ones max
ing the charge intimate is done. Even
if it were ~possibleto conceive of suchan
officer it is extremely doubtful wheth-
er the men serving under. him would
obey the order. If they did it would
be only once and until he could be
reported to his superiors. But the
ants have grown sc accustomed to
making all sorts of ridiculous and
absurd charges against the admins
tration, army, navy, and everybody
and every branch of the government
connected in any way with the con-
duct of operations in the Philippines
that they do not hesitate at anything
which the ythink tends to discredit
the government in the eyes of our own.
people and those of foreign nations.
One lie more or less makes no differ
ence to them, just so long as it is
something calculated to injure the
administration.

A RIGHT RESERVED.

t"There is some acrimony in spots
touching local issues, and a recent
appointment has developed some op-
position on the part of Colonel Beck
er, the restless disciple of political
knight errantry in eastern Montana,
who is nothing if not picturesque, and
who hates nothing so much as peace"
Butte Inter-Mountain.
Within the past two years The
Gazette has contributed out of it's
W strong box the snug sum of
$500 as the price, of peace. Notwith-
standing that contribution there are a
lot of political backsliders and Office
seekers who are constantly charging
The Gazette with party disloyalty.
These 'holier than . thou self-ap-
pointed purifiers of the republican
party in Montana ignore the fact that
Iican newspapers in Montana that has
always been steadfast in it's republi-
canism, even through the memorable
campaign of 1896, when four-fifths of
the so-called republicans of the state
were proclaiming for free silver and
Bryan from the %housetops.
Having paid the highest cash price
to effect peace within the republican
party in Montana, The Gazette never
for a moment considered that it abro-
gated it's rights to "kick'' whenever it
considered it had a righteous "kick'
coming. This newspaper has always
been a stickler for what it considers
fairness and honesty in the manage
ment of party affairs, and from that
course the paper does not propose
to be swerved. No mount of abuse
or blackguardism from it's enemies
will change it's course from that Of a
consistent and loyal republican news
paper representative at all times of
republicans who place party victory
above party spoils.

WE COULD sTARvE EUROPE.

Those who are really frightened at
the threats of a European combina-
ton against this country should take
renewed courage. Jean DeBloch, a
distinguished Russian military expert,
is at present visiting London, and, of
course, he has been interviewed.
What he said in that interview prob
ably was not very reassuring to the
jingoes across the water, but it must
give us on this side a little pleasure,
ever if it was only intended as a
jolly. NJ DeBloch said:
Americas future,l like that of Ger
many, lies on the water. Whenever
it clashes with a European power the
contest, will resolve itself immed.
lately into a var of commerce. In
my opinion, America will require only
a great fleet of fast cruisers in order
to terminate hostilities speedily in
its favor. The United States can
never be dislodged from it's position
as a great provider Of Europe's neces-
stiles of life. The mere defeat of a
European squadron would bring to
the United States little advantage,
since it has nothing to fear from
such an assailant. When American
cruisers began Systematically to patrol
the shores of Europe it would be a
of weeks or months only
when Europe would find it vitality
necessary to sue for peace.
Europe, therefore, has legitimate
cause of concern at the expansion of
the American navy. If you Ameri-
cans continue to build first-class
cruisers, rather than ~battleships, the
time will come when Columbia will
literally rule the waves"
