MAY DEFEAT ANT1-cANrEEN CLAUSE

A discovery has been made in Ton
nection with the army reorganization
bill, as it now stands, which may vet
neutralize the ~anti-canteen provision
and thus defeat accomplishment Of
the object for which thew. @. T. U.
and liquor dealers for once allied
forces. The bill contains a provision
which permits the secretary of war to
designate the rations and provisions
for the army. This will give that
official plenary power in the premises
and should he see fit to- do so he may
permit the use of beer and light
wines at army posts. 1t is believed
that the anti-canteen feature will
prove so unpopular that when it shall
f,ave been effective for some time the
sentiment against will be so strong
that the war department. will avail
itself Of the option contained in the
bill and promulgate an order for a
beer "sation." s

HOPE FOR mrs. MAVERICK.

The friends Of Mrs. Maybrick have
taken fresh hope and believe, her re-
lease is now nearer than it was a few
days ago. King Edward will be ap-
pealed tosat once in lser behalf and it
is thought NOT without result.
A dispatch from New York says
that Clark Bell,, president of the Med
ical and Legal Aid. society, states that
his organizntio Will Immediately
move to take the Maybrick case up with
bright prospects for a pardon or ac-
quittal after a fair trial. The de-
cision to do soals; based upon the at
titude' which, the new king assumed
toward Mrs. Maybriek when only
prince of Wales: Tt is Said that he
never made a secret Of his desire to
see her pardoned., In; case all appeals
to the kingand'tt enewRome secretary
fail. it is, understood that President
Bells society will ask Clara Barton
to make a PERSONAL appeal' to- his ma
jesty:. It is to be hoped the proposed
effort in behalf Of an unfortunate
woman may prove successful, as she
is. the victim of prosecutions and preju-
dice. OF the unfairness Of the trial
by which, she was, sentenced to a
felon's doom, but little doubt exists,
not alone in this country, but in Eng
land as we'll, as. many Englishmen
high in authority have often expressed
themselves, to that effect.

MONTANA'S CULTURE CENTER.

AS long as they fail to enforce the
law and prohibit such entertainments,
the Helena authorities are to be COM
mended for the zeal they display IN
insisting that prize fights there shall
be on "the square," Last week a
couple of pugs advertised one of those
entertainments for the dedication of
the aesthetic denizens of the capital
and the mayor detailed several police
men to attend it. The Officers selected
were chosen because of their intimate
knowledge of the Fart" and after the
first round stopped the exhibition
and locked up the principals because
they were indulging in what the Gull
tured Helena mind designates as "fak-
ing The magistrate before whom
the offenders were arraigned was no
less jealous Of the good name of his
city than the mayor and his minions,
for he promptly fined them both.
1t is only by the use of such severe
methods that Helena may expect to
retain her name as the center of re-
fnement and culture and the states
repository of intellectually and
higher civilization.

The London correspondent of the
Associated Press is probably not far
from the truth when he says that the
element Of sorrow is absent from the
wild scramble now going on in the
English capital to see the pageant
promised ON the occasion Of the
queens funeral. He might have added
that sorrow has given way to morbid
and unseeming curiosity ON one hand
and to grasping avarice and greed on
the other. OF course, there will be
some sincere mourners in the throngs
that will crowd tho streets and many
will be there to show their last respect
to the departed monarch but the ma
jority will be attracted thither by the
same motive that prompts a crowd to
gather whenever anything is to be
seen.

THE NEED, OF

Inter Mountain: Those rpeubli-
cans who for any PERSONAL reason per-
sist in a policy whichmust necessarily
weaken party discipline and imperil
party success, cannot hope to escape
the imputation Of indiffereneeto party
principle. The intelligent citizens of
this country have not maintained the
republican organiz ation for the bene-
fit of those of it's members who may
deem themselves Or be deemed worthy
Of it's honors and enloluments, but for
the benefit of the great masses of the
party, and because of a belief that it's
principles, when crystallized into law,
will best promote the interests of the
nation in it's industrial pursuits.
Particularly is this true in Montana,
where the question of the tariff has
had an important and direct bearing
on the pockets and homes of the peo-
Fle. Under normal conditions, men
vote in this state on the basis of their
convictions relative to the effects of
republican policies upon the price and
demand for wool, lead, barley, hides,
coal and copper, not in order that any
particular individuals in the party
ranks shall have political Office. In
the recent election in Montana an I'M
natural condltion n preaviled. The
federal senate, being safely reppbli-
can, some Of our people apparently
thought the tariff was not in danger.

ever. does not affec the fidelity of true
republicans or blind them to the SUI

gress and the presidency gone demo-
cratic, property in this state would
not be worth so Der cent of its present

BRYAN's K EY NOTE.

Minneapolis Journal: Colonel
Bryan's first editorial IN his personal
organ, the Commoner, is strongly
favored with the spirit of his campaign
speeches and it is evident that the
Commoner will be the receptacle of
many copious extracts from those
f%iamboyant u%tteranoes.
The first note he sounds iB a call to
"the common people" to array them
selves against the plutocrat,:" and he
comhmends bis choice of the papers
name on the ground that it is said of
Christ and his preaching in the bible
that ''the' common people heard. him
gladly" He would convey the idea
that only q certain class constituted
the audience, whereas the language
which Mark used and which is rem
dered ''common people, is literally:
land a, great crowd heard him glad
ly."
AS it is frequently stated in the
gospels that these large crowds which
listened to- the teachings of Christ
numbered among. Thorn many wealthy
tax collectors, aud m embers of the two
naughty seots>o of the Jews, the crowd
was not made up'of a distinct ''com-
mon' class. In this, country the peo-
pie, rioh' and, moder ately we'll of and
the poor, are American citizens and
most Of them, are proud to be such.
Bryan,would herd together a group Of
American citizens. ohar%acterizing
them as''oommon" and setting them
apart as peculiar people,"
He says in his, paper that the term
common people" is "properly used
to describe the large majority of the
people-tilose who earn, their living
and give to society a fair return for
the benefits bestowed by society,"
judged by this test, Colonel Bryan
cannot be numbered among the Conn
mon people himself for who, can
demonstrate that dul ing the past -four
years he has-given to society "a fair
return for the benefits bestowed by So
ciety?" He has sedulously sought to
SOW the seeds of discomfort and has
denounced in all his, ~utterances the
government under which, he lives and
by which he lives nd by which he ia
protected, and has openly declared a
definite policy Of overthrowinge the
public credit and Of orippling the bus
mess and industrial interest Of his
country. He is hardly a. proper
leader Of the people and they are rec
ognizing the fact by dropping; himsa all
along the line. wherever. he had in
weighed them by windy promises of
plenteous money til trough, the applica-
ton of his nostrum.
A commoner, as, originally defined
in England, is,a person who. is not a
peer Of the, realm. As we have. no
order.of nobility in this country and
every man who shows, himself" a good,
faithful and achieving citizen, is re-
garded as noble, we are a., nation Of
commoners, none the less so by, reason
Of the unequal distribution, of wealth,
a condition irremovable and one
which has existed since the days Of
Adam and which is, likely to exist
until the crack of doom, in, spite of
all the efforts of quack reformers to
equalize it.

BIG GAME,
Wildcat Nnd Lion. Shot by Vice Press

Wildcat nnd Lion. Shot by Vice Press
idcDt Eject Early In HIS Trip.
Barring: accidents, Vice President

Coyote basin country before he fin
ishes his outing. He has been hunting
from daylight to, dark every day since
he left Meeker, Colo, and. brought
down a magnificent specimen Of a Wild
cat and a. lion in two days, says the
Philadelphia Press. The'country around
which he is hunting is literally alive
with the game he is after, and, follow
ing the best pack Of dogs in Colorado,
there is every Indication that lie will
have a lion for every day he is in the
country.
Within IA, miles Of Meeker a trail
was struck and followed! Coming over
the last hill before the kill the cat
could be seen making tracks across the
snow and heading for the nearest tree.
Then the dogs took up the joyful chic
rus which resoundedi through the hills
and told the hunters that the animal
had been freed.
Up in the tree, just out of: reach, Of

took deliberate aim and fred. The ball.
tore through the left leg; breaking. it

ened up for a moment and then, pitched
headlong among the dogs. dead: In an,
instant the bulldogs were upon the car
cass and ready to tear out any life that
might have been. left, but they were
too late. and In, order to keep the hide
intact the dogs, were called; off.
Hard as the trip was. Roosevelt was
up with the, sun next morning and
ready to the sport. After fol-
lowing along on the top of a ridge for
a short time, the, dogs took up, q. clearly
defined lion track. 1t was not long be-
fore the chase became, very hot and the
lion was cutting out a path along the
rocks at the edge of the basin. which
it was impossible for the horsemen to
follow and in many places was too dan.
gerous for the dogs. The lion. ran about
400 yards. where he was freed and
brought down with the first shot.
The distinguished hunter had brought
down his first cat and his first lion,
and. although the prospects are bright
for the best kind Of hunting during the
three weeks, the excitement attendant
upon the initial kills Is over.
The nearest ranch to him from the
Meeker side is Goff's place. about Is
miles away. and on the other side the
closest ranch is about As miles. The
basin where he is hunting is an ideal

MAY HAVE MORE TROUBLE.

"o VI a N&0.
character seems to exist that Mr.
Clark's recent election was, obtained
in any but a proper manner, it is moi
certain that when he presents, his
credentials and asks to be seated he
will not meet with opposition, ever
though his arch enemy, Chandler,
will not be there to oppose him.. In
fact, Washington dispatches on sew
eral occasions since the action of the
legislature became known have stated
plainly that MIR. Clark will be op-
posed when he appears before the desk
of the presiding officer of. the senate
with the governors commission. The
report of the committee on privileges
and elections of two years ago still
stands against him and the claim is
made that at the right time it will be
taken from the shelf, carefully busted
and used as one of the weapons which
the Montanan will have to face. AS
the Associated Press correspondent
puts it,, Mr.. Clark will be "put on
the gridiron.' It is even said that
the mode of procedure has been de-
cided upon and that all is in readi-
ness for the time when the perform
ance is to begin. The plan of action
adopted is the same as that employed
in the case of Roberts Of Utah in the
house. When Clark steps up to be
sworn a member of the committee on
privileges and elections will object on
the ground that he is not a proper
person to occupy a seat in the senate
and the committees report in his case
last session will be made the basis of
the charge against him. The next
move will then be to refer the matter
to the committee for investigation.
He may fare better there than he did
before, as it is expected that the COM
mittee will not be unanimous then as
now in regard to it's report. The
democrats are said to be almost solid
in favor Of seating him and will so
vote, both in the committee and SEN
ate. He will also have some repub-
lican support, as a poll is said to have
revealed al least five on that side of
the house who will vote for him on
the final question of seating him.
They are Elkins and Scott of West
Virginia, Jones and Stewart of Ne
vada and Mason of Illinois.
1t isl probably fortunate for Mr..
Clark that when he appears the next
time it will be to a recognized senate.
The attack he made on the committee
on privileges and elections in his Hell
ena speech might prejudice his case
with that body. Even as matters will
stand it may prove to have been a
very injudicious act on his part.
Some of the men he assailed will still
be there and it is safe to say will be
waiting for him.
