ACKNOWLEDGES TO $1,000

Ex-Gov. Bradley, who in our opinion,
is one of the ablest and most honorable
of the Republican leaders in kentucky
acknowledges TO receiving 81 900 for
making campaign speeches in Kentucky
in 1890. and in a published card de-
nounces certain Republican leaders as
ours for bounding him because they did
offer and give him this amount, The
fault is really not in Gov, Bradley ac-
cepting this money. but il is in the
commercial spirit" which has obtained
in politics these latter days. which SAYS
that this and that must he supported by
the people because there is money in IT.
OF course the same spirit will affect the
public speakers who preach this doc
trine. The whole thing has been re-
duced te a money basis. patriotism, love
OF country, love of principles. have all
been relegated to the past, and every
body goes in for the money to be had
In this same cBmpaign for which Gov
Bradley is being so bitterly bounded, no
no doubt, hundreds and perhaps thous-
ands of lesser rights were being paid
out Of the campaign fund. Ii is unfor-
tunate but none the less true. that now
adays when the people listen to the
glowing periods OF political speakers,
that they are compelled to think that
none Of such periods would be proclaim
ed except that loo or more dollars
were back of it, This is great, grand
glorious country, but patriotism and
real love of country is the back ground.
The dollar controls everything. II the
speaker sells his voice. why should not
the voter sell his vote?

mountain vicinity, Mr.. Hill has all
of the iron deposits in sight, Mr.. Con-
rad having taken them UP 16 years
ago, Tut in none of the deposits is
there manganese, SO the Importance
Of the Wickes trip can be c%unjectured.
Years ago MI. Hill proposed plac-
ing iron mills in Great Falls. For
six months past Great Falls parties
have been visitors to Jefferson county,
and the large number of mining
| claims filed upon marked the import
ance attached by Mr.. Hill to the man
ganese part of the proposition.
The parties concerned in the new
industry are reticent as to their plans
at present, but it al be stated as a
fact that the plans for the proposed
iron and steel mill at this point have
already been drawn and that the point
for it's location along the banks of
the Missouri river below Rainbow
falls has already been surveyed. If
matters progress satisfactorily work
upon the plant will be started inside
of six months, and is the fiat predic-
ton Of one of those interested that
the population of Great Falls will be
doubled inside of five years.
All along the line of the Great
Northern Mr.. Hill has been interested
in having the iron claims taken up,
and along the coast there is great e.
citment owe the prospect. j. D. Far
rell, a friend of Mr.. Hill and at pres
ent president of the Pacific Coast
company, has purchased a number of
mines along the Spokane & Northern
in Washington, paying 100000 for one
group, upon. which he at once put to
work 20 men developing.
A report says a confidential man of
the steel trust was due in Great Falls
today, or tomorrow at the latest, and
viii go at once to INeihart to look over
a group OF iron properties there.
The price of iron at the present
time and the impossibility of getting
structural and other steel without
an order at least Is months ahead
caused an increased interest in the
iron business and has caused the long.
headed Mr.. Hill to begin work in a
virgin country in the matter of iron
work. So far the work has been kept
very quiet for the reason that a num-
Der of properties were desired and
arrangements had to be perfected,
but the secrecy is now well-nigh at
end in Great Falls, and this city can
be assured of a prospect which will
e more prosperity to her citizens
than ever before and secure to her
the proud title of "the Pittsburg of
the Northwest"

of the municipal buildings and i'm
provements in Havana during the
American occupation, passed through
Washington last night en- route to
the Cuban capital. Capt. Huston re-
signed his position in the army a year
ago to represent large American man
~ufacturing interests on the island.
In discussing the Cuban situation the
captain could not see any solution Of
the problem except through annexa-
ton to this country.
when l left Havana on the 10Th
of last month" he said, "the whole Is
land was discussing the advantages
and disadvantages Of annexation. The
business interests in Cuba are array
ed soldidly in favor of union with
this country, and it is the politicians
who oppose the annexation move
ment. Naturally SO, for If such a
thing should come to pass they will
all be out of ~ job. The majority IF
the moneyed interests Of the island
are in the hands of the Spaniards,
and while they would gladly see Cuba
under the American flag they are
afraid to voice their opinions openly,
fearing it would precipitate an up
rising on the part of the lawless ele-
ment, who are. controlled by the poll
teal wire pullers, and that through
riot o,aof aor0or ~oirh< o0~no RI 1ifo
and property"
AS a sanitary expert Capt. Huston
blamed the American authorities for
not completing the extensive sewer
age plan they had mapped out for the
city of Havana. He said their failure
to do this would in time menace our
southern ports, as the Havana author
tiles, while they were at present keep
ing it up to the mark, would in time
relax their sanitary methods and vel
low fever would be the result.
But the Cubans are not to be
blamed for this" argued the captain,
'for they lack the money to carry out
the plans devised by u people who
exhibited great negligence in not pro-
'viding Havana with underground
sewerage"
Capt. Huston could not see how the
Cuban people could float the con-
templated loan of $35, 200, 900 under
the Platt amendment, which he con-
demned as very bad legislation.
"Cuba tried to make reciprocity ar
rangements with England. Offering
the most liberal concessions, but the
English government stood aloof, fear
ing diplomatic entanglements with
the United States"
Capt. Huston commented rather
significantly on the presence of 5000
Of our soldiers in Cuba, and he init.
mated that they were there for some
other reason beyond that of garrison
ing the coaling stations. In other
words the captain shifts trouble from
afar in the Cuban republic, and in
concluding his remarks he suggest
ed that if an investigation was made
as the real feelings of the Cuban
president and his cabinet on ann"xa
ton they would all be found to hearth
ly favor it. #

Milton Edwards, n of the former
roomers of Mrs. Anne Bartholin, and
a witness who the police think will
prove valuable in clearing up the
mystery in the murders of Mrs. Bar
tholin and Minnie Mitchell, arrived
in this city early today from Denver
hands Of the police. Edwards was
frank in his statements and showed
no signs of nervousness. To a repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press he
made the following statement:
II barely knew Thompson and have
spoken to him only three or four
times. l never was a doctor or a hyp-
notist and could not possibly have
put Thompson under any influence,
as he ~irrationally stated. l have al
ready said that l thought things were
queer at the Bartholin home and that

few things more to tell the chief of
police, but the public must wait until
the chief speaks. l saw Bartholin
kissing a mi in the house, but
what bearing that may have on the
case l do not know"
Edwards was crOss-examined by
Chief of Police O'Neill and Inspector
Hunt, but practically nothing new
was ELECTED. Edwards told in a
straightforward manner what he re.
membered of suspicious actions about
the Bartholin house, of his fear that
Mrs. Bartholin had been murdered
and his fear for his W safety If he
stayed longer in the house. The
story was repeated of how he had
been awakened by the bowling of q
cat, of how he had seen Thompson
leaning over his bed one night and
how Thompson had explained his
presence in Edwards room by say
ing he thought William Bartholin was
sleeping there. Edwards met Thomp
son today. The men nodded but said
nothing.
