ELECTION OF
CALDWELL EDWARDS
(By a Historian.)

1t is not the writer's purpose to say
one unkind word of Congressman Cald-
we'll Edwards, for he is an honest man
and good fellow. When he left the re-
publican party on some flimsy pretext
that has cast a shadow over his happ!-
ness, and imbibed the visionary and re-
pudiated doctrines of populism, he made
the mistake of his life. Populism has
been banished and buried. Judge
Clancy, John Weston and Caldwell Ed
wards are the last of the Mohicans
Unlike other American statesmen, Ed
wards stuck to his colo,s after he was
elected. For that he should be honored
He was elected without the aid OF cor
ruption fund. For that he should be
glorified. All he bought in the campaign
was his meals, and, if reports are true.
he could have eaten twice as much as
he got. He frequently stopped at first
class hotels during the campaign, but
only long enough to inquire for his mail.
He conducted no election correspond
ence, because postage stamps came high
and his funds were low. He paid all his
campaign expenses from the receipts Of
his saloon at Belgrade, in which he had
one barrel of whisky and a slot machine.
He appointed them his committee on
finance. Belgrade was his headquarters.
He decided not to spend dollar he did
not raise in his home town. OF the en-
tire male population of 10 men, he knew
that all who did not drink ganlbled.
That is why he added slot machine to
the liquid equipment. His average rev.
enues were 81 per day, and the price of
drinks a bit; but as he believed in a
tariff for revenue, his conscience was
clear. Besides, had he not been Endorsed
by the democratic convention? With
81 day he campaigned the state Such
financial drain ruined Belgrade, but
it made a congressman. The single
barrel Of whisky kept the population
hilarious for 60 days, for it had been
purchased in Bozeman, where for many
years the red liquor has been of such
a quality that a single drunk has been
known to SO further and make a man
do more things against the law and give
| him darker brown taste in his mouth
+, for longer period than any other liquor
| in the known world. Yet it was the only
whisky he knew that promised big
enough profit, and the end justified the
/ means. The supply lasted till election
day, for large drink meant sudden
| death. But the mi;Nonaires had their
! barrel. why shouldn't he have his? The
only difference was that while his burned
out the stonlachs Of his constituents, the
other made bonfire Of their consciences
Be 1t said to the credit Of Montana;
congressman. therefore. that he wa
elected with his own money and on hi
own account. and that his majority o
5000 votes did not cost him $40 pc
, thousand.

The foreign demand for corn has gone
to smash if export records are to be
taken as guide. During October only
100000 bushels went abroad. In the CDR
responding period last year the exports
were 1s5Oo,oOO bushels. 1t is evident that
Europe does not want corn or is short OF
cash

The speech of John Allen, congressman
from Mississippi, at the ground breaking
in st. Louis yesterday, is described as
eloquent. Private" John Allen is known
as the most inimitable funny man in
congress. The fact that he was eloquent
yesterday as well as witty is glad news
to those who We're beginning to class
him with the congressional clowns who
are never serious.

The value of the base and precious

other Butte properties has been affected
in greater or less degree by litigation.
