SUCCESSIVE STEPS.

The change in the republican atti
Jude in regard to the cruelty prac-
ticed in the Philippines is we'll illus
trated by the following from the
Springfield Republican. The success
sive steps in the republican admis-
sion and apology for these cruelties
have been:
1. There has been no cruelty.
2. If there was any, it was spo
radio.
3. Well, war is hell, and such
things will happen.
4. OF course our troops have used
the water cure" and other forms oil
torture. What did you suppose they
were doing?

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

At no distant day the all important
preston of the city owning it's own
light and water plant may become a
vital one to Kalispell, as it has al
ready in other cities of the state.
There are strong advocates of the
prop sition in the dominant parties
and it is constantly growing in favor.
The experience of two Montana cit
les, Bozeman and Miles City, shows
the advantages of municipal owner
ship. Bozeman owns only lts water
works, but in it's operation of the
plant for three or four years, the
records show that it saves $4,000 a
year over and above what was the
cost before the city acquired control
Miles City, a smaller town than Boze,
man or Kalispell, has made a success
of muicipal ownership of both water
and electric light plants, though un-
usual difficulties have surrounded
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-05-07

this enterprise of the city from the
start. one important particular being
the introduction of entirely new ma
chinery after the city took hold of
the proposition. For matter of six
or seven years the burden was great,
but it has finally paid out and now
estimates it's savings at $4,000.
The original company that put in
a water plant at Miles City depended
upon a system of wells to supply the
town. The water supply from this
source has never been adequate. Now
the city, since acquiring the plant,
has never attempted to declare any
dividends, it's principal object always
having been to improve the service.
1t has been decided to take the water
for the city out of the Yellowstone
river, and the plant will be altered
so that may be done. The city Will
then have an adequate supply of
water assured it.
The experience of these two cities
promotes the idea of municipal own
ership and is an object lesson which
may well be learned, because it may
be in the near future that Kalispell
people will rebel against the very or
binary quality of electric light furn-
ished at an exorbitant rate, and the
decidedly insufficient water supply
which is now about due to become
malodorous and unhealthy, following
the precedent of last year.

Including our new possessions, the
territory of the United States en-
braces 3,690,S22 square miles, or an
area greater than the territory of the
Roman empire under Caesar Angus
tus.
But still the United States is not
at the head of the great territorial
powers and ranks only fifth on the
list. Great Britain comes first, with
11,28S,277 square miles of territory;
Russia, second, with S,644,1 square
miles; China, third, with 4,234,910
square miles, and France, fourth,
with 3,944,072 square miles.
Though the territory of continental
France embraces only 2O4,072 square
miles, her colonial possessions aggre-
gate 2,740,00O square miles, most of
which are in Africa. Great Britain's
sway extends over Africa, India, Aus
tralia and Canada. Chinas territory
is restricted to her vast Aslatic do
main, while Russia's extends over the
greater part of western Europe and
embraces the whole of Siberia.
Our colonial possessions are com
partively small, but they are scat
tered over both hemispheres, and
when added to our vast continental
territory they give us an important
increment of strength.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1902.
CONCERNING GENERAL MILES.

Not only has a halt been called at
Washington to the presidents angry
determination to summarily retire
General Miles, but Senator Hawley
has introduced an amendment to
Roots pet measure which had for it's
object the belittling of the general of
the army, that elevates the general.
The most important section of Mr.
Hawley's bill provides that General
Miles may become commander of the
entire United States army in fact as
well as in name, as follows:
Subject to the command of the
president and general direction of the
secretary of war, the lieutenant gen
eral shall exercise general command
over the military forces of the United
States, shall issue army orders and
direct inspection of the troops. He
shall be charged with the instruction,
training, discipline and distribution
of the army, with the preparation
for the mobilization of the military
forces, with the preparation and
maintenance of schemes of offensive
and defensive operations and with
collecting and compiling military in
formation. 1t will be his duty to see
lnat the army is at all times suitably
and amply supplied and equipped and
that the munitions of war are of the
best material and suitable character.
He will recommend suitable persons
for promotion and for military hon
Ors and rewards. He will be assisted
in his duties by and his orders will
be conveyed through the agency of
the general officers holding com
mands and the general staff of the
army
But although the president has
been assured by leaders who know
public opinion better than he that his
enmity to General Miles would be
dangerous to his own popularity and
to the fortunes of the party in the APP
preaching campaign, he surely will
not lend his support to the above
measure. More likely he will favor
the latest scheme to send Miles a
travelling through Europe to inspect
and observe the military science of
other nations.
General Miles, it must be con-
fessed, is a hard proposition. He
possesses traits that are not always
admirable and he owns a stubborn
self-conceit that is not always pleas
ant. He holds views as to has Office
and it's prerogatives that do not al
ways please his superiors. And if
one of the acquisitions of his position
is that the general of the army shall
always make sure to be agreeable to
the military and ethical views of
those two ranking officials, the presi-
dent and secretary Of war, then, un.
questionably, General Miles has been
a failure to that extent.
But the country at large has it's
own serious opinion of General Miles
In more recent days they have felt
that Miles has been right in his criti
cisms of the Philippine campaign
and in his opposition to an imperial
istic reorganization of the army. The
result is that the honest masses rec
ognize no good reason why Mile.
should be punished by an arbitrary
retirement from the command of tn,
army. Wise men have told the presi
dent that much.

THROUGH RATES ON COTTON.

NEW YORK, Aug. o.-Manutactu-

patch to the Journal of Commerce, HI ar
that a conference of RAILROAD anthori-
ties and millmen is to be- held in Bcs-
ton this week looking toward grant
ing OF through rates on c>tton con-
signed 10 New England mills. The
parties who will meet are informed as
to the needs of the New Bedford and
Fall River mill men \ the matter and
the impression is that some adjustment
Of freight troubles viii nc made with
the roads so that the mills will not
suffer.
Offers have been received at Fall
River from two Southern freight des-
patch companies to deliver cotton
there and in New Bedford via water
transportation, the extra insurance ex-
acted to be guaranteed by the trans
portation companies. Shipments will be
made via Norfolk, Newport News and
Philadelphia. Agents Of companies
using the Pennsylvania line have been
in communication with local mill au-
thorities about the same matter.

RETURN OF J.P. MORGAN
LIKELY TO EFFECT STEAM
SHIP COMBINATION.
Failure TO Offer Securities Due
to the Stagnation of Ocean
Transportation.

NEW YORK Aug, 2O.--Referrlug to
the expected return to New York to-
day OF ]. Pierpont Morgan the Jour-
nal Of Commerce says it is thought the
iinancier's return will be followed by
definite movement involving finan-
cial adjustment of the steamship COM
hination, and adds;
From a source connected with the
underwriting Of the new combination
It was learned that it has by no means
been decided that the securities OF the
combination will be offered for public
subscription. At any rate no imme-
diate attempt will be made to induce
large public subscriptions. The reason
for this is the absolute staguation OF
the ocean steamship business. which
renders the time particularly inoppor-
tune for floating the new securities
on favorable terms. 1t Is, therefore,
believed that. while the organization
of the new company will be promptly
proceeded with, the underwriting syn
iicate viii assume the chief burden
Of taking care of the new securities
with the hope OF disposing of them at
advanced prices, when the steamship
business improves. That It will i'm
prove is very generally expected in
shipping circles on account Of the
large crops of grain that are TO be
moved during the coming autumn and
winter.
No definite decision on the ques-
ton of inviting public subscriptions
fas. however, yet been reached; and
1t is Just possible, rs indicated by an
otter responsible source that Mr..
Morgan may feel disposed TO take adj
vantage Of the general expectation of
prosperity to maket the securities"
