Being en- the ground and supposed
" better informed on the subject than
those residing at this distance, still
it would seem that the authorities of
the Oregon state prison took unneces-
sary precautione wren they caused ex-
ira guards to be placed on the walls
as socn as they heard Tracy had ap-
peared thereabout.. Considering the
risks he ran when he made his great
dash for liberty and the strenuous
manner in which ire has since then
resisted all efforts to recapture him,
it does appear as though he should
not be credited with any intention of
forcibly breaking into the p%eniten-
tiary. delightful as it NO doubt is as a
place of residence. Possibly the fact
that he is now supposed to be travel
ing about the country on a bicycle has
caused the warden of the prison to
believe that Tracy may have designs
on his pet wheel, or to hold him UP

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.

Omaha Bee: When a. few days ago
the British trade commissioners sent
to South Africa were received by the
johannesburg Chamber of Commerce,
there was a disclosure that must have
slightly married the harmony of the
occasion. "A member OF the chamber
read a telegram from New York
offering freight from that port to
Natal at about one-third the lowest
rates from England and other mem
bers said they had received the same
offer, 1t is easy to understand that
this announcement must have proved
somewhat discouraging to the British
trade commissioners in their effort to
revive trade between Great Britain
and South Africa, but It is not the
only example of Americas enterprise
with which they with have to corftend.
The very low rate offered from New
York is attributed to the new COM
petition from that port. The United
States already has great advantages
in South African trade. Food and
lumber and railroad material, which,
are large imports at CapetowH and
Durham, are among our leading ex-
ports. Bridges and locomotives We
have sent thither because we could.
make lower prices as well as faster
deliveries than English manufacture
ers. With a large advantage in
freight rates there is nc reason WHY
we should not do a large trade with
South Africa in the face of British
competition. Indeed it is not the COM
petition of the British so much as that
of the Germans that we have to- fear
in, the. struggle for that trade

to get up something like a revolution,
thereby hoping to furnish a pretext
for a second intervention by this gov

Through the kindly Offices OF this ma

our pledge stands that it shall re

portunity to demonstrate their ability

HOW THEY ~HARMoNiZE.

Try as they may to get along to-
gether and do their mite toward the
restoration of harmony in the party
to which both belong, force of habit
is too strong in the Miner and Stand
ard and they continue to pull at oppo-
site ends of the rope. The Standard
finds even it's liberal vocabulary some
what deficient in commendatory words
when 1t essays to speak of Bryan's
recent addresses and laments that all
cannot bring themselves to regard him
as it does. He occupies the topmost

HARMONY AT HOME.

The degree of harmony which pre-
walls in the democratic party else
where is finding it's reflex In this state,
especially among some Of the party's
editors. The Helena Independent has
taken it's rusty, cid snickersee from
it's scabard and declared war against
the Anaconda Standard. 1t says the
| sheet over on Warm Springs creek is
an imposter. that it is edited by a
tramp republican picked up by the
late Marcus DAILY and used by him
to debauch the democratic party
whenever possible, and that the Stand
ard is only posing as a democratic
organ because it finds it profitable
to do so. .
Thus dc the deeds of men outlive
them. When the late. copper king es.
tablished the Standard he did so for
the purpose of having an organ Of
his wing of the party. Then it was
DAILY against Clark. Now DAILY is no
more, but the newspaper he started
survives and the Independent is not
charitable enough to forget the past,
and Insists upon saying harsh things
about it, and it's editor, the, same al,
when Daily was alive and his paper
was really making it uncomfortable
for those with Clark leanings; Of
which the Independent was one. No
longer having the founder of the
Standard as IT'S bette nolr, the Helena
paper keeps on firing shrapnel and
buzz saw at the Standard itself ard
claims Justification for its warfare

for the manner in which he pokes
Cleveland and some of the other east

clares him to be the greatest demo

Wolferts Roost and Buzzard bay and
pats him On the back for it. while de.
claring him to be the bully boy with
the virtreous optic.
The Miner, while according it's late
idol a measure of faint praise. is not
slow in chiding him for the very out
spoken and virtriolic language for
which its contemporary praises him.
Instead of telling him to 'tsick EN-
it warns him to be cautious and at
the same time gives him to under
stand that as loser of two-fold exper-
fence it ill becomes him to attempt
the erection of barriers to forever
keep out of the party the men who
contributed to those defeats. In fact
the Miner is inclined to do the CASTOR
and Alphonse act to a degree which
lays it open to the suspicion that it
has come to regard Cleveland and
Hill a little higher that it does the
mar who led the party twice to de-
feat, mot ingloriOus," as it's Warm
Springs contemporary puts it. But
this should not rest as a serious
charge against the Miner. 1t but
manifests the same weakness that a
majority of mankind exhibits-it may
respect a loser, but it does not care
to continue following him. Mr.. Bryan
twice demonstrated his inabil-
ity to cause the people Of the nation
to regard him as the proper person

ing to fall back on the Old leaders and |
give them another chance. Cleveland

TIME 0 A CHANGE.

The Commercial club, which was
organized with SO much trumpery and
sounding of horns, but which almost
from the very date of it's organization
has manifested every evidence of NOR.
lbund inactivity and lethal apathy,
should pull itself together for enc
more and supreme effort. That eff
fort should be made in the direction
Of securing for the city proper and
deserved recognition from the North
ern Pacific. Almost every other town
and siding along the line of that road
is reporting something in the way of
increased and improved facilities for
the handling of freight and passenger
business. The most costly and mag
nificent passenger station on the en-
tire system has only recently been
completely at Livingston, while the
same old shack and collection of
bricks are allowed to do duty in this
city, Notwithstanding the disparity in
the amount of the actual business the
company does in the two cities, a dis
parity wholly against Livingston.
1t may not be generally known, but
it is a fact, nevertheless, that Billings
last year contributed to the company,
as revenue on freight and passenger
traffic, a sum not far from a half mil
lion dollars. With the exception of
Butte and one CT two of the larger
cities to the west, it is doubtful
whether another station on the system
has equalled this sum. In return for
this very generous patronage the
COMPANY has done absolutely nothing |
in the way of giving the people some
of the facilities to which they are en-
titled. On the contrary, it has asked
for about everything they have had to
give. including the closing of needed
public highways and the segregation
of the city. All demands have been
granted, many to the manifest injury
of the city. but nothing has been CIV
en- as an equivalent or manifestation
of good will and friendship. The time
has arrived when a change should be
made. instead of giving everything,
tho neonle should begin to make de-
mand for what they are entitled to
and continue to demand until they re-
.ceive some measure of recognition.

inspectors, who made an examination
as to the cause of the explosion in
the Cambria mine on July 10.

was positive the gas was not ignited
by a blast. Mr.. Ross favored a law
