At last a man has turned up at
Butte whose use of the revolver
evokes commentator from the citi-
zens and instead ct finding fault with
him for his freeness of touch they are
trying to encourage him to cultivate
it, provided it's application is always
in the same direction of his last eff
fort. He is a cowpuncher from Ari-
iona who managed to- find his way
into the town and he showed his skill
with the revolver by extinguishing
the career of a burglar. It happened
last Sunday. Three men had just
completed ransacking a residence, the
occupants of which were away. They
were leaving the premises with their
| loot when the family returned and dis
covered them. Some n ran across
the street and fortunately came in
contact with the cowboy, who oppor-
timely was at hand. Without waiting
for an introduction, the persuader of
cattle, in the free and easy manner of
his kind opened fire on the fleeing
burglars. Only one got within range,
but he will burgle no nor 1t is true
that the cowboys shot did not kill him
instantly, but he lived only long
enough to give his name and then
smilingly passed to the beyond. Now
The festive puncher is the hero of
the town and the people who admire
nerve and accuracy of aim have start
ed subscription as a testimonial of
theif admiration for his practical man
nef Of dealing with housebreakers.

THOSE SPANISH FRlARs.

Atlanta Constitution: There can
be no permanent peace in the is
lands so long as the friars are permit
ted to remain. The hatred of the peo-
pie for them is deeply rooted. Their
n great desire is that these Spanish
friars be made to leave and that they
be permitted to have the native or
American priests in place of the Span
ish priests. There is no suggestion
of disloyalty to the church in their de-
mand, and there is no possible ground
for resentment on the part of the
members of the church toward the
American government for it's action
in taking the side of the Filipino peo-
pie.
Any attempt on the part of oppon-
ents of the administration to make
political capital out of these negotia-
tions at Rome will fail, as it deserves
to fail. The American people should
be as united in their support, of the
government in this matter as are the
Filipinos themselves.

KEEPING is TO / GREEN.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican,:
The dubious distinction of singing
out the 16 to 1 plank of the Kansas
City platform for special Endorsement
has been reserved for the democrats
CT Missouri. In this strange perform
ance they are at least true to the
memory Of the late MI. Bland; and it
may further appear that the indorse-
ment is due to former Governor
Stones desire to succeed Senator
Vest in the United States senate. Pre-
sumably no democrat could hope to
enter the senate from Missouri who
was not true to the monetary princi-
pies still embraced by the rural de-
mocracy of that commonwealth. If
there are many men in the south
who, still believe in African slavery
and Editor Watterson says that there
are-it may be premature to expect
the heart of the Missouri democracy
to grow cold toward the sacred ratio
which it has sustained in national pol
iticS

may be relied upon to see that it's
edicts are obeyed and the chances are
that some of the condemned ones
will eventually receive what is COM
ing to them.
While the Tunisian method is open
to criticism and it's adoption in this
country is hardly to be recommended.
yet the fact remains that if our own
courts were governed less by preced-
ent and had less regard for quib-
bles and technicalities many more
criminals who now escape Just pun
ishment would be made to suffer the
consequences of their misdeeds and
both the courts and law would be held
in higher esteem than they now un-
fortunately are held. There is some
thing about the Tunis way of dealing
with known malfactors that appeals
to the respector of the law, notwith-
standing that it is not according to
the accepted custom of countries lay
ing claim to a higher degree of civil
zation.

FAIR FOR ONCE.

The Anaconda Standard has again
democratic contemporaries of being in
sympathy with the republican party
and an organ of democracy only for
gain. The Standard, Notwithstanding
that at times it is guilty of prejudice
and bias, is taken with occasional
spasms of "Reminiscences and candor
and tries to be honest with it's en-
emies as well as with it's friends. An
instance of the latter is now in mind.
Like nearly all newspapers the
Standard has seen fit to- comment on
the open letter to the president that
the Schurezes and Adamses at Lake
George wrote concerning the conduct
of the army in the Philippines. In
the opinion of the Anaconda contem-
porary the ants did not score a hit,
their Cwn opinion to the contrary not
withstanding. If the open letter is
the guage wherewith to measure the
work accomplished by the committee
IlS duIlo Sldll1 ~ udNS SNAI w LIN 10
lands to investigate affairs there, the
Standard opines the members did not
work very hard or that their labor
was fruitful of many results. Its prin-
cipal criticism, however, is CT the
manner in which the committee, or
rather the body it represented general
ICES. The charges made are not
specific enough, says the Standard,
nothing new is brought out in them,
and intimates that Carl Schurz avail
ed himself of the opportunity offered
to- get his name in print, and since
there was no salary attached to the
committee service he rendered he
doubtless prosecuted inquiries with
a measure of zeal fitted to that fact
While not often agreeing with the
Standard, or any democratic news
paper, for that matter, The Gazette
for once must admit that it's Smelter
City contemporary is right. The
ants in their letter make no charge
they have not made before and offer
no proof in support of the general ac-
cusations they make. Their latest eff
fort is not likely to amount to- more
than those that have preceded it and
the people will think but little on
corning the matter they attempt to
bring before the country. Were it not
for the inordinate vanity Of the men
responsible for the effusion and their
weakness Tor seeing their names in
print it is safe to say the letter would
have never been written.

THE ONLY ARlsTocRAcY.

Buffalo Express: Evidently Mr..
Bryan is not so much afraid of aris-
tocrats as he pretends. The truth is
that the only aristccracy in American
politics was fostered by the demo
cratic party and the relics of it still
constitute the principal element of
democratic power. 1t was the aris-
tocracy which was based on negro
slavery. 1t tried to disrupt the union
in order to maintain itself. And the
remnant that remains of it is still
working for the restriction of the
franchise and is claiming and enjoy
ing a representation in congress in
which the vote of n of it's specially
favored citizens counts for as much
as four or five ordinary men. IF Mr..
Bryan is going to weed aristocracy out
of the democratic party, that is the
element for him to begin with. Yet
he has stood hand in glove with that
element through two campaigns

GETTING THEIR EYES OPENED

Philadelphia Inquirer: That our
British friends should be appointing
commissions to find out why they
are losing trade and how they can re-
gain it is an indication that they are
at last getting their eyes open to the
fact that something is wrong with
them and that it behooves them to
wake up and 'get a o on them"
if they wish to avoid being left hope
lessly behind in the commercial race.
That is something. It is not, however,
enough. It is only a beginning. There
remains to discover and apply the
remedy. With the start he has got in
South Africa, as elsewhere, Uncle
Sam may be trusted to give Cousin
John a good run for his money.

ASTOUNDING COMPARISON.

Minneapolis Journal: Five volun-
teer regiments, which lost not a man
killed, wounded or missing in the
Santiago campaign, have applied for
pensions to the number of 5000. Five
regular regiments that fought in the
same campaign and lost over 600 men.
killed, wounded and missing, are re-
sponsible for only 764 applications.
This astounding comparison shows
either that the regular was less prone
to contract permanent impairment of
health from sickness or else is not
prone to imagine that his health is
impaired. Then, also, as many of the
regulars have continued in the serv-
ice they have not had the temptation
and. the leisure to search for pension
getting maladies, as many of the vol
unteers have.

ARSENAL GROUNDS LEASED
Probably Last Chance Gone to Secure
Naval Station at Havana.

Washington, July 30.-Probably the
last chance the navy department had
to secure a coaling or naval station
in Havana harbor, was lost by the
action of the Cuban cabinet yester-
day in authorizing the lease of the
arsenal grounds. This was the site
of the projected United States naval
station. for which it was admirably
adapted by it's position and depth of
water. News of the Cuban cabinet
action has just reached here. Nothing
is expected to be done respecting the
acquisition of sites for naval or coal
ing stations elsewhere or the island
until next winter.

HI TUNISiAN A

ITO the people of this country, where
every person charged with the COM
mission of a crime is given every op-
%portunity to prove his innocence and
where because CT the complexities Of
judicial proceedings many guilty ones
escape, the elimination of the trial
of the men who have been before a
Tunisian court for the murder of the
marquis de Mores must appear
strange, to say the least. Seventeen
of the men alleged to have been mix
ed up in the affair failed to put in
their appearance. But this did not
prevent the court from proceeding
with their case. They were found
guilty, too, and punishment was fix
ed for all. Six were sentenced to
death and the other eleven to terms
of Imprisonment. It is possible that
none of the sentences will ever be
carried into execution, but a court
that will do as the Tunis court did,

ALLIES r BUSY.

Following on ;ne heels of the full
mination of the Lake George propa-
ganda the report of renewed
hostilities in the island of Samar and
the probability of a recurrence of Sc
rious trouble. The Tangals of that
island, like those of Lake George, OBJ
ject to the exercising by the govern
ment Of the prerogatives inherently
it's own and demand that they be per-
mitted to run things after their own
notions. The present trouble seems
to have arisen over the selection of
a governor Of the island. The ma
tiyes wanted a mar who had led them
in their secret murders Of Americans,
while Governor Wright had his ideas
OF the subject and named a man
whom he felt he could trust and who
would fill the Office ably and honest
ly. Because the successor of Lukban
was not given the place, the Samar-
ians are threatening all sorts of mis-
chief and it may be necessary to nee
more put troops into the field and
teach them another lesson in obedi-
ence.
OF course, the fellows of Lake
George may be relied upon to ap-
plaud the action of their allies in the
island and if the necessity arises for
a resumption of active military opera
lions there they will promptly raise
the cry of fresh "outrages" and adj
dress another open letter to the pres

WARMING 70 DEMOCRATS.

There is at least one party in the
state to which the democrats need
not look for aid and assistance during
the Forthcoming campaign. The so
cialists, whose convention met at
Bozeman a few days ago, are out that
they are not going to be a catspaw for
any other party and win or lose, they
propose to fight. a lone battle and fuse
| with none. To make their position
all the stronger, they adopted a plank
explicitly prohibiting any of their
candidates from accepting an endorse
ment by any other party and to pre-
vent the possibility Of such a thing
another plank provides expulsion from
the party of any one who dares to pro-
pose fusion or compromise.
It is possible that the democrats,
regarding the socialists as being so
few in numbers as not to be worthy
of attention, may not make their usual
fusion to render their own success GER
tain. but it would be indeed strange
were not some of the workers del
egated before the campaign is fairly
on to make offers to the men who be-
lieve in community in all things and
seek to induce them to drop their par
ty identity and come under the demo-
cratic flag. Commenting on the atti-
tude of the socialists and with the
recollection of past campaigns still
fresh in mind, a prominent democratic
newspaper Of the state says:
eff the socialist party gathers CON
siderable forces and then manages to
go through the campaign without ex-
posing itself to forms of bribery often
misnamed fusion, that will be a won
der; it will at least be an inncva-
ton"

ing and that every charge they may
make will be fully and fearlessly in

country will pay scant heed to their

IN POLITICS AGAIN.
Aid Of Ex-Queen Of Hawaii Is Sought
in Coming Campaign.

Honolulu, July "a, via San Francis
co. July 3O.-The boilers from the
home rule party, under the leadership
CT Prince Cupid Kalanionole, have be-
gun a campaign in behalf of the new
party they have formed, the Hui Kuo-
koa, or n%on-partisan party, by calling
a mass meeting for next Thursday
evening. A constitution has been
adopted by the party and all chance
of a reconciliation with the Wilcox
faction seems to- be at an end.
The attitude of ex-Queen Liliuo-
kalmi has been much discussed re-
Gently. She is said by Hawaiian Lead
ers to have refused to commit herself
to n faction or the other and to
have declared that she will remain out
of politics. Some of the political lead
ers have held consultations with her,
and it is predicted by many that she
will make known her wishes before
the day of voting. Such an expression
from her would have great weight
with the native voters.
The republican territorial central
committee has decided to hold the ter
ritorial convention on September 1,
in Honolulu.
Arthur F. Griffiths of ST. Georges
school, Newport, r. l., has been chosen
president of Oahu college to succeed
DR.. A. M. Smith, resigned. The new
president is expected here in Septem-
Der.
The United States training ship Mo-
hican arrived here on July 16, after
making such a long trip that a good
deal of uneasiness was expressed
about her. She left Yokohama May
rs. Contrary winds caused her delay
in arriving.

Brooklyn Eagle: The Eagle does
not know whether Rathbone, convict
ed of w%rongdoings in Cuba, was just
ly or unjustly convicted. But the
Eagle believes that Mark Hanna be
lieves Rathbone was u%njustly con
victed. And the Eagle does not be
lieve in condemning Mark Hanna fol
efforts which will fail if the wrong
fulness of Rathbone's conviction can,
not be shown. Manliness is not sc
prevalent and courage is not SO uni
versal that they should be maligned
when they respond to the call of faith
fulness or. friendship.

St. Paul Dispatch: If it is illegal

owners meet to consider their plans

solidating the coal trade? 1t would

POINTS BEFORE ELECTORS
Liberal Papers Say Grain Taxes and:

Winning Factors.

cant by the elevation to the peerage
ct William T.. Jackson, conservative.
who had sat for North Leeds since
1890.
The loss of the seat for North Leeds
in the house of commons has filled the
supporters of the new Balfour admin
istration with dismay. The utmos.
ingenuity Of the editorial writers of
the conservative press is quite effect
ual in explaining away the conversion
of the tory majority of 2,517 in 1900
to a liberal majority of 1853.
The Morning Post, which is the
frankest conservative critic, says that
out of certain preserves there is seem
ingly no seat in the house on whose
loyalty the government can absolute
ly rely, and the paper believes the
country is dissatisfied with the gov
ernment's educational bill.
The liberal papers this morning
concur in the opinion that the grain
tax and the educational bill won them
the North Leeds seat, the election
having been fought on these two
points.
The result was received with great
jubilation by liberals in the house of
commons. the members crowdfng to
congratulate Herbert Glandstone, the
liberal whip. 1t is said that n re-
suit of the election will be that Mr..
Balfour will avoid making changes in
the cabinet involving more by-e1ec-
tions. Mr.. Balfour's seat, among 9TH
ers, is considered rather unsafe.

CoLORED BUTTER.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,:
| The ruling Of the chief of the internal
revenue bureau that the manufacture
ers of ol~eomargarine cannot use palm
oil in their product without subject
ing it to the tax of 10 cents a pound
imposed on colored butter substitutes
is another revelation of the real pur-
; poses of the Interchangeable law
that was passed by congress at the
behest of the dairy or creamery in"
terest. Palm oil is a healthful pro-
duct, and there could be no objection
whatever to it's use as one of the COM
ponents of imitation butter if it were
not for it's natural yellowness. This
is not an artificial coloring, but as it
happens to be yellow, palm oil must be
barred.
The notion that y%ellowness means
richness or sweetness in butte is
firmly rooted-so firmly that the
farmer has to color every pound of
butter he markets in order to deceive
the consumer into buying the product.
There is little likelihood that the hold
that yellow has taken upon butter con-
sumers will ever relax, but it would
be amusing if the consumers of but
ter should SUDDENLY conceive the idea
that yellow coloring is detrimental
to the health, and that, therefore, all
butter should be eaten in its natural
Wilderness. In that event the dairy
or creamery interest might logically
be expected to hurry to congress with
a request that the manufacturers OF
butter substitutes be prohibited from
selling their product unless they first
color it yellow. so that the purchas-
ers Of butter might know the spurious
article from the pure white product OF
the creameries. 3
