cueA's COMING MINISTER.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Cuba's
first minister to the United States
will o reach his post in Washing
ton. England is the only other u
try which will have a Cuban minister
for the present. No other old world
nation has recognized the Cuban re-
public, but possibly others will do so,
before long. The United States has
formally introduced Cuba into the,
family of nations, and it would seem
that the rest Of the world ought to
welcome her, but the rest Of the world,
it is evident. believes that Cuba. by
the voice of her own people, will soon
ask for political union with the Unit
ed States. Probably the world is cor
rect in this assumption.

ment Of the chief must receive the
sanction of the council and then, must
be in the form of an ordinance before
he shall be bound by them.
AS the law appears the police COM
mittee at the most can only exercise,
the limited powers Of an adj
visory body. In other cities of the
state councils have appointed police
committees, but nowhere else do such
committees attempt to actually regu-
late and govern their respective police
departments. Butte, for instance, has
such a committee, and an active one it
is, but it limits it's operations to MAX
ing recommendations to the main
body. Further than this it does not
attempt to go, and it must be borne
in mind that the average Butte alder
man Is not in the least backward in
any and all prerogatives
which the law may bestow upon him.
Did the members of the committee in
that city take the same view of the sit
uation as is seemingly taken by the
same body here it is safe to say that
they would exercise the right they be-
lieved to be theirs and the mayor and
chief of police would be ignored in
many matters they now control and
would receive but scant recognition
where they are now accorded full pow
er.

Butte has become a rival of Miles
City and is holding out its hand to the
milwaukee," More than that, it de-
clares that it has a 'cinch'' on the
matter of being the terminus Of the
road. Unlike it's big sister across the
range, however, it does not want to
hog the thing. It is willing that the
road shall touch Miles City and also
run a branch to the Black Hills, with
still another further west to tap the
capital, that is if Helena will be real
good. For some reason Billings seems
to have incurred the illwill of the en-
terprising constructors over on the
west side, as they entirely ignore it in
their calculations and say they will
build their road southwest from Miles
City. but will swing it north again so
as to cross the main divide at Town

Indianapolis Journal: Already the
shipment Of Texas cattle to South
Africa has begun in order to- restock
the Boer farms. One cargo of 600
has been sent forward, and it is re-
ported that 10000 will be sent during
the year. II cattle are so cheap else
where, and are Of as fine quality as
those who are raging about the tariff

BOY DRAGGED 70 DEATH.
Tied Rope to Arm While Taking
Horse Out to Picket.

Miles City, June 18.-Wilson Tay-
Ter, the eldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. H. Taylor, of Ekalaka, was killed
Monday morning by his head being
struck against a bridge near the Eka-
laka livery barn. The accident hap
pened while the lad, who was 10 years
old, was taking the horse out to
picket. He had tied the lead rope
around his forearm and something
startled the horse off. It was seen
passing the livery barn on a dead run
and men at once started in pursuit.
1t a to the bridge where the boys
head was struck and the arm olsen
gagged from the rope. The boy only
lived 10 minutes after the accident.
A doctor from Camp Creek happened
to be present, but the lad was past
help.

TWO GREAT FoLLlEs.

Boston Globe: With the coal trust

refusing to- raise wages, the issue be-

cry man of property in the country

eating this universal opinion to the
needless barons of the mines and the
abbatoirs.

MlsDlREcTED GENEROSITY.

Kansas City Star: Cuba confers
no favor on this country in granting
amnesty to- all Americans confined
in it's prisons. BY this act Medley,
the convicted postofice boodler, goes
free. It would have been much better
If the Cubans had chosen som other
method Of showing their gratitude to
the American people. Cheating justice
to oblige a country that is not con
cerned for the liberation OF thieves
is good feeling sadly misdirected.

William Hoaa Dropped Dead.

White Sulphur Springs, June 18.-
William Hoag, who for the past three
years has been a resident Of this
place, expired yesterday evening while
sitting in the lobby of the Phelleps
hotel. Hoag had eaten his supper
and taken his seat when he Suddenly
fell over dead. Heart failure is sup
posed to have caused his death. The
deceased leaves a wife and three chill
dren who reside in Helena. Hoag
was about 60 years of age. At one
time he was considered quite wealthy,
but met N~reverses in mining.

Only N OF MANY.

Minneapolis Journal: An anthra-
cite coal miner has written Tor the In
dependent a story of his own life. 1t
is a most touching autobiography,
brief as it is. With merciless exacti-
tude the miner sets down the amount
ne has received, the days he has work
ed, the sums he has spent for food,
for clothing, for insurance, for doc
tors bills. The Independent vouches
for the mans honesty. There can be
laid against him no charge of incom-
potency, lack of energy, wastefulness
or peevish fault-finding. He is evil
IDENTIFY a fine type .cf American work
nan He is doing his level best to
earn a living for himself and family
in a miserable, l~ife-taking, poor-paying
occupation, though it be the founda-
ton of the nations manufacturing in
dustries. He is only 35 years of age
but he is old in worry and suffering.
II am only one of the hundreds you
see on the street every day." he says.
He was brought up in the mines. He
risks his life daily. One of his broth
ers was killed and another was sorely
wounded there. Because he did not
want to send his injured brother to
a hospital, the latter having no home
of his own, he had him taken to his
own home. It was twenty-one weeks
before the injured brother was able
to go back to work. All the expenses
of medical treatment, extra help and
the brothers maintenance were
borne during this period by the nara
tor of the story, except $25 given by
another brother. He says in simple
explanation:
1T is nonsense to say that was
not compelled to keep him, that
could have sent him to a hospital or
an almshouse. We are American cit
liens and we don't go to hospitals
and pocrhouses."
There is a fine spirit. The question
is whether we a long maintain in
that spirit American citizens who
work in coal mines. Their wages
have been going down. The price of
living is going up. The one process
pulls them down; the other pushes
them down. When the nation loses
workmen of this type it loses an es-
part of republican citizenship.

years hence. Specializing as to the
future, the paper quoted intimates
that possibly democracy will array
itself against Imperialism. Here it
again finds a good point in its idol
by reminding the democrats that he
was "aggressively opposed to imperial
ism before the rest of them, whose
names are associated with presiden-
tial possibilities, had been heard from
on that topic" 1t finds the same to
be true in regards to the trusts and
accuses the old-line democrats with
not being any freer of faint in that
respect than are the men on the other
side of the fence who opposed Bryan
two and six years ago.
Rather m%ournfully it admits that it
is not wen remotely probable that
Bryan will again figure as a candi-
date during the next few years, but
for all that he is it's special favorite
and the boy who can have it's support
whenever he asks for it. Although
twice defeated, it declares the farm
er from Nebraska to be the biggest
democrat of them all and the one most
talked about" Then again becoming
sad and sorrowful it feels constrained
to admit that there is not now in
sight any democrat who is recognized
as the a in any degree fitted for
service at the front in the presidential
that is to come"
There is certainly one democratic
newspaper in the state which does
net subscribe to the new cult that it
is sought to introduce into the party
and which does not take kindly to
Hill, German, Olney, Lamont or any
of the other possibilities" that have
been sprung onto the party during
recent months. 1t is certainly not
disposed to Cleveland and
the ''old-line'' democrats and wants
them to understand it.

som H MIXED.

The so-called ~anti-anarchist bill
passed by the house of representa-
tives, in reality a measu for the
greater protection Of the lives and
persons of the president, vice-president
and other officials entitled by law to
succeed to the presidency, and foreign
ambassadors or ministers accredited
to this country, apparently differen-
tiates the punishment to be melted out
to any n guilty of killing either of
those personss, in that it provides
for a certain punishment if the person
murdered is killed outright and for a
lesser punishment if the man assault
ed dies as a.result of injuries inflicted
upon him. AS published the law says
that any person who unlawfully, pur-
posely and knowingly kills any one
OF the officials named in the act shall
suffer death. Any one who attempts
the act shall be imprisoned for not
less than ten years. Now comes the
provision. by which an assassin may
escape with his life. if he but x
cises sufficient car in the infection
of his injuries upon the person of
any one Of the men enumerated in the
bill. He may kill one of them and yet
escape the death penalty. A sum-
mary cf. the law is as follows:
"Any one who, while engaged in an
unlawful attempt to ln1ict grievous
bodily harm upon the president or any
person entitled to succeed him, inficts
injuries which cause death, shall be
imprisoned for life; if such injuries
do not cause death, such offender shall
be imprisoned not less than five
years."
From this it will be seen, if the
newspaper from which the excerpt is
taken correctly quotes the law, that
while it is sought to afford greater
protection to the president and others
enumerated in the law than may be
said is accorded the ordinary individ-
ual, the very opposite is seemingly

may assault the president and infict
Wounds or other injuries from which
at some later time the victim dies,
and yet ESCAPE with his life. He !
would, as it seems to a layman, have
only to raise the plea that while death
did result from injuries by him in
fiicted, their infliction was only for
the purpose of causing ~"grievous bod
lily harm" and not with the intent of
actual murder. Why the
death penalty is not provided as pun
ishment for causing the death of the
president as a resule of the infection
of %"grievous bodily harm as swell as
for the outright killing of that official
but the men who passed the
law may be able to tell. To one not
informed in the intricacies and puz-
zles of the law the distinction made
to be unwarranted. especially
as allowance is made in both instances
fer the death of the person assaulted.

BIG TIMBER

phine Method.
Big Timber, June 1S.-Josephine
Tellesoe, a young woman who came
here about two months ago and
was residing at a brothel kept by An
ME Hopkins, took morphine about II
o'clock last night and died at $3.50
this morning. An hour after the poison
was taken n of the local physicians
was called, but his heroic efforts to
save her life proved futile.
In the inquest over the remains it
was ascertained that her mother was
living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and
that before coming here she had left
an infant child at Thermopolis, Wyo.
Yesterday she received a letter from
that place which she tore into shreds
as soon as it had been read and
soon after, she employed a China
man to- procure the morphine with
which she took her life.
Today a letter came from her two
little half-brothers in Council Bluffs.
from which it appears that she had
been supplying them and her mother
with money, but as the boys did not
sign their full names it is impossible
ascertain whom they are.
