Democracy in Montana
.e Chicaro Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The quarrel in the Democratic party
I'm Montana between the Clark and the
Heinze factions has resulted in split,
and the latter. embracing the Popu-
lists. the labor party, the socialists, and
the Heinze Republicans, will at once
place new political organization in
the field
With these elements of Democracy
eliminated from his following, Mr..
Clark will be under the necessity OF
getting along with only the Bitter
Root middle-of-the-rOade the Ana
conda Jaclsonians. the Clark Republi-
cans. the independent laborites, the an
cient order of communists, the woman
suffragists. and the original free silver
men.
In some respects the various factions
Of the so-called Democracy OF Montana
resemble the curious Republican groups
which train under the Addicks banner
in Delaware. The free use Of none,
to the exclusion Of principle and tradi
ton is likely to be as fatal to Democ-
racy in the one State as it has been tc
Republicanism in the other.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
An Australian View OF Our Railways

An Australian View of Our Railways
From the Railroad World.
Americans do not seem to realize
that man cannot cat HIS cake and
have It tco.' said Sir John Forest, Aus
tralian Minister OF Defense. I'm trav-
cling through this country one cannot
fail 10 be impressed with the network
OF railways which has made its mar
velous development possible. No gov
ernment could have undertaken the
CONSTRUCTION CT such a gigantic system.
Private enterprise made the growth OF
the country possible. Where individuals
make enormous investments there must
inevitably be combinations or trusts.
Still the American people are at prSs-
ent engaged, in denouncisg trusts. DO
not wish to appear as a defender OF
trusts. | merely wish to call attention
To the gigantic work which las been
accomplished in this country by enter
prising capitalists. The men who are
now the millionaire railway kings are
the msn who have advanced the United
states to its great commercial import
ance.
"As premier in West Australia for a
term OF years / had occasion to learn
how limited the amount Of railways is
which government can construct
There are so many limitations to the
extent OF the work that a government
can carry on. or course, "a limited NUM-
Der OF lines OF road can be undertaken
by government, but it would not have
been possible in this country for the
government to undertake the construc-
ton OF the thousands and thousands OF
miles OF lines which show on a railroad
map OF this country. The public would
not have been willing for the legisla-
tors 10 appropriate the fabulous sums
OF money which have been expended
here in railroad construction. Other
great enterprises followed naturally IN
the wake of this railroad building
Cars and locomotives were needed
to equip the lines. The companies re-
ouired fuel and had to develop mines
The development OF branches OF in
dustry in no way connected with rail
roading was made possible by the i'm
proved means OF transportation"

young white men who killed the aged
Lewis couple one month ago, were

Faircloth was pronounced dead in ff-
teen minutes and Smith in twelve and
a half minutes. Both men had wonder
full nerve and ascended The scaffold
with steady step. They had their cof-
fms opened and inspected and COM
mented on them. Faircloth remarked
that they were all right and both mer

cherry Island Marsh Flooded

The heavy rain Of last night caused
Shellpt creek to overflow its bank, as
it usually does after every heavy storm.
In consequence Cherry Island is about
one-third covered with water today.
Inadequacy of the sluices to carry off
the water renders it absolutely neces-
sary that the stream shall be opened
out to the river if the marsh is to be
protected from the frequent overfOws.
1t is impossible TO provide a sluiceway
that would be sufficient TO carry into
the river the volume of water which
came down the stream last night and
early this morning.

Mr.. Mitchell, for the miners, and MT.

are alarmed. To make matters worse,
there ,seems to be a soft coal famine,
and that fuel is fast advancing beyond

staEces.

Surely tho public necessity demands
heroic measures.

TIDE HIGH IN DELAWARE
Freshets and Southerly Winds Sent
Water Two Feet Above Normal

The focd tide in the Delaware river

AN ADVERSE REPORT
On Bill for Retrocession of Alexandria
County to District,

In the Senate this afternoon Mr.. Hoar,
chairman of the committee on the
judiciary, made an adverse report from his
committee on the Senate resolution direct
ing the Attorney General to bring suit to
determine the constitutlonality of the re-
PROCESSION of that portion of the original
District of Columbia which was ceded to
the United States by the state of Virginia
The Senate resolution provides that If the
cesson shall be decreed to be uncOnstitu-
tiOnal and Alexandria city and county are
United States, the Attorney General shall
report to Congress what sum will, in his
Judgment be a fair and just amount to be
paid by the United States to the state of
Virginia in lieu of the revenue of that state
now received for the support of the state
government from the city and county Of
Alexandria.
ut seems to the committee" the report
says, that it Is not expedient that this
act of retroceSsion should be set aside by
Congress, even If Congress had the power
to do SO, without the consent of Virginia.
Virginia accepted the transaction. it being
understood that 1t was at the desire and
for the benefit of the national government.
She has established in Alexandria the i'm
portant and intimate relations which every
state forms for its own citizens dwelling on
her own soil, and the people on the other
hand, we presume, feel the loyal and deep
attachment which such relation excites.
Such a tie ought not to be Wantonly
broken, and ought not to be broken at all.
without the consent of the parties, except
in case of some paramount and overwhelm-
ing public interest.
The report says that if it be desired that
Alexandria become a part of the District
Of Columbia again the only way to ac-
complish it will be to open negotiations with
Virginia and get her consent. The conf
mittee recommends that the resolution be
indefinitely postponed.
