IT is too late for poor old Dom Paul to
visit the United States He would only
discover that nine-tenths of the men who
so loudly proclaimed their sympathy for
MIN did so in order to help Mr.. BRYAN
in the election. The aged Transvaaler
might not be able to understand such
hypocrisy for he is simple old man who
reads the Bible and thinks people mean
what they say. Yet should he come here,
ne would go away with a broken heart,
wondering at the GOODNESS of his recep-
ton by the great democrats who wept
for him on public platforms during the
campaign and who would now send their
regrets if invited to take his hand and
give him a word of hope. What a vast
fraud is the average democratic office
seeker!

REPETITION OR REFORM

Will the democrats and populists eau
Gus separately or collectively about the
senatorshps or will they decline to eau
Gus? Upon the answers to these inuui-
ries much will depend, for the answers
involve to a great extent the methods
and aims of the fusion majority. If it
be the intention of that majority to pro-
coed with the election of two senator's in
a regular and orderly manner in con-
formty with established precedent, with
out scandal and intrigue, and in ac.
cordance with the will of the majority
and the interests of the state. the FUSION
men. Later, as provided by law, the eau
Gus action will be ratified by the election
OF the nominees. The business of legis-
lating for the state will proceed, while
the senators-elect are yet on their wsy
to the national capital to take the oath
of Office or else face an inquiry as to
the legality of their election, or the le-
gality of the Legislative majority which
elected them. T.

THE SCHOOL OF MINES,

The new state board Of education. 1t
is hoped. will meet oftener than twice
year. It's first duty should be to in
quire into the condition of the school
of mines and resolve upon liberal and
just policy towards the faculty and the
trustees of that institution. The duties
of the latter should be more clearly de-
fined so that there will be no further
trouble as to the execution of existing
contracts in the matter of salaries. The
subject of the proper heating of the
building requires prompt attention. the
The students now in attendance are
there to acquire an education, and if it
is true that an rec plant has been put
in the basement instead of a heating
plant. it should be removed to the place
where the trustees hold their meetings
and be replaced by furnace of proper
capacity at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. Silver Bow county, which is a
heavy contributor to the states rev.
enues. has but one state institution and
has a right to expect that it be justly
treated by the state board, so that the
trustees will feel encouraged to work
with continued zeal and harmony. to
secure the best results. The generous
donations which leading citizens of
Butte are making to the school should
be seconded by the state authorities to
the extent Of their lawful power, and the
trustees should be Endorsed in all proper
efforts to improve the scope and char
acter of the institution by the engage
ment and retention of a competent
faculty. Men of genuine scientific at
tanment are not to be secured at SAL
aries common in the ordinary branches
of learning. and the new board is doubt
less aware of the fact.

DEMOCRATIC REORGANIZATION

70 The Bryan papers are all Indignantly
opposing the reorganization of the dem
ocratic party. suggested by Grover
Cleveland in recent communication.
For once the Bryan papers have the
best of the argument There is no
reason TO believe that bad management
was the cause of Blyans defeat or that
any democrat other than Jones could
have increased his electoral vote. There
is no reason to charge that Bryan was
not the deliberate choice Of his party.
for since the campaign of 1896 no other
man had been mentioned in connection
with the nomination. Nor can it be
reasonably contended that the platform
on winch he ran was not correct
reflex of democratic opinion. since
nearly every state convention held to
elect delegates to Kansas City re-
affirmed the Chicago platform and de-
manded its adoption with certain ad-
those democrats who favor reorganiza-
tion profess to think it was the silver
plank that defeated the ticket in the
last campaign but that is wrong as
sumption. because no man intelligent
enough to cast a ballot believed for a
minute that free coinage law would
! have been enacted even if Bryan and
democratic ma jorty in both houses of
congress had been elected, for over one
half of the democratic membership
| would have opposed such legislation
according TO the temper of the national
convention on the subject and the first
vote in the committee on resolutions
| Aside from silver, what principle
| enunoiated in the Kansas City plat
| form would the reorganizers abandon.
or what new principle would they
promulgate to give the party any better
prospect of success? On this subject
Mr.. Cleveland has no suggestion to offer

reason for democratic defeat was the

cies of the republican party, the conf

otism of President Mckinley and the
| general dstrust of democratic methods
| and aims.
| A change of leadership is not likely,
therefore, to make any change in cleo

heres to its present opinions concerning

country: so long as it decries the courts,

that the campaign is over. 1t perhaps
would be unwise to pass law prohibtt-

Yes. we even approve the governors
recommendation not TO pass a law which
might deprive us of something we
can't very we'll get along without-even
though it be manufactured by the hor.
rible Standard Oil Trust. The governor
was no doubt too much pressed for time
to go into many other subjects which
might have engaged his attention. For
instance. he might have touched upon
the enormous expenditure of Doodle in
the late campaign and pointed out how
impossible it is to have honest elections
and a fair expression of the will of the
bona fde voters of the state when they
are overridden by a swarm of fioaters
and thugs imported for that purpose.
The Inter Mountain believes that when
a workingman has rendered days work

he should be permitted to spend it where
he peases But the governor is greatly
mistaken if he thinks that only one cor
poration in Montana is interested in a
company store. AS a matter of fact,
there is hardly a company of any conse-
quence in Silver Bow county which does
not in some manner more or less directly
trade upon the patronage OF its employees
for its own advantage. either for politi-
cal support or a reciprocal arrangement
of some sort. The Inter Mountain knows
whereof it speaks in this matter. for it
has had. and still has. this same thing to
contend with in the conduct of it's own
business. and when the legislature is
upon this subject. we trust it will include
a provision prohibiting mining and smelt-
ing companies from making deals by
which their checks are to be paid at GER

The direct nomination system is the plan which

ceiVing the highest number OF votes are thereby
placed directly in nomination. The plan, in its per-
fected shape, will do away with delegates and con-
ventions. and with a large part of the wirepullng
which annoys many people. 1t is a blow at the
district leaders and the big bosses and in last
analysis 1t means a practical revolution in the
methods of nominating candidates. The Citizens
