SIGNS OF REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

1t is a daily comment heard in all parts
OF the state that the present state cam
paign is one Of the quictcst on record.
For republican victory there could be no
more auspicious omen. When the people
settle down to good. hard thinking they
invariably vote the republican ticket.
This year the electors of Montana are
refusing 10 follow the democratic circus
and make a spectacle OF themselves in
spite OF the frantic efforts Of the fac
tonal bosses and ringmastcrs.
The independent voters have long ago
satisfied themselves of the utter unftncss
of Montana democracy to give clean.
upright administration, and they will
surely express their disapproval OF every
thing democratic on November 4. This
seems to be a foregone conclusion.

SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE.

The great strike in the Pennsylvania
coal regions, involving an army OF i47,ooo
men, is practically settled by the concur
renee of the operators and President
Mitchell in a commission of seven persons
appointed by President Roosevelt, who
will adjust all differences. The commits
sion consists Of men of high standing in
the estimation of the public, fairly repre-
scnting both the miners and mine owners.
The commissioners are Brig. Gen. ].
NJ. Wilson, chairman; L. w. Parker of
Washington, ID. c., a member Of the
!. United States geological survey and an
expert in mining engineering; Judge
George Gray OF the United States circuit
court: L. Z. Clark Of Iowa, grand chief
Of railroad conductors; Thomas Il. Wat
kins, Scranton. Pa, man practically ac-
quainted with the mining, transportation
and selling of coal; Bishop John L.
Spaulding Of Illinois; Carroll d. Wright,
commissioner OF labor and recorder Of the
Roosevelt commission.
Much credit is due to President Roose-
welt for his earnest and determined efforts
to bring the strike to close.

LABOR'S FALSE FRIEND.

+. Augustus Hcinze and his mcnda-
cious sheet are again, as two years ago,
cndeavoring to stir up the community
in an effort to manufacture false sem
timent of hypocritical appeals to patri-
otism as we'll as to credulity. Pcrchcd
on the rotten branch of his past record
and his present grievances, this night owl
and his parrot editor are scrceching OF
disasters to come. 1t is the old cry OF
stop thief" The only disaster thai
threatens Butte is the success of the de-
structionist. This false friend of labor,
in his desperate game, would tear down
the monuments that Marcus Daily reared,
and throw thousands of miners out Of
employment, that he may wave his red
flag over the ruins. Posing as the pa
trot and savior Of the people, he knows
that his success means paralysis to Butte.
He knows that he cannot succeed in bring
ing to his terms of surrender the army of
toilers on the Butte hill and the pay
roll behind them, except by sapping every
mine by the abuse of legal processes and
by intrigue involving the judiciary
His success in the past has emboldened
him in a second attempt to control the
local courts With one judge on the
bench, he closed down the mines of the
Boston & Montana and the Anaconda
group in the past. The judicial circuit
must be complete, and the public con-
frmation and ratification Of his past acts
must be had at the polls before he casts
the last die and plays the last card in
the game. Mr.. Heinze knows this.
patriotism is the last refuge of scoun-

as a cloak in the commission of public
crimes in the past. The issue has never
been squarely and solely presented before.
This time he is making himself and his
grievances the sole Issue before the peo-
pie of Silver Bow county. He is rant
ing loudly about the oppression Of others.

HElNZE'S AMAZING iMPUDENCE.

In his remarks at Billings on the I4th
instant, Mr.. Heinze devoted much Of his
time to abuse of his co-worker in the
democratic party, Senator w. A. Clark.
This, doubtless, by way Of showing the
remarkable quality of the harmony which
exists in the party the leadership Of which
these gentlemen are SO fercely contending
for. But Mr.. Hcinze finally dropped his
friend, the senator, and took up the more
important question Of the judiciary. On
this point he said:
The judiciary, to my mind, is one that
should be entirely and completely above
politics. In number of instances such
a candidate for justice has been nomi
mated by one party and Endorsed by an
other; and I believe there is no honest
republican or democrat who does not
desire to preserve the judiciary of tnis
state free. from being controlled by any
body.
Mr.. Hcinzc is right when he expresses
the opinion that there is no honest repub-

But what must be the opinion of r,
Augustus Heinze of the intelligence and
temper of the people of Eastern Montana
when he impudently breaches to them of
the necessity of keeping the courts free
and uncontrolled? Does he in his des-
peration imagine that the people whom
he is addressing throughout the state are
not familiar with his outrageous prosti-
tuition Of a court in Silver Bow county
which created such a widespread scandal
as to arouse the Indignation of all honest
men from one end of the country to the
other? Docs he suppose that he can

SOME THINGS HE MAY LEARN.

Ileinze is still cavorting through the
COW counties, waking the echoes with his
yells Of alarm like political Paul Revere.
Just what good he expects to accomplish
by his ridiculous jaunt on a special car
through Montana is not CLEAR to the aver
age person who has even slight ac-
quaintance with state politics. Certainly
he does not expect to mould public
opinion into permanent form on this
junket. Heinze's way of moulding public
opinion is not adapted to the circum-
stances of his present trip. Heretofore
his chief trouble has been that his ready
made public opinion would not stay
moulded. Men of Eastern Montana do
not take kindly to boodling methods in
politics, and that being Hcinzc's PRINCIPAL
and last resort his influence along the
line of march when his talking tour is
ended will be nil
There is one matter of vital importance
to Heinze that he can easily settle while
on this tour. He can learn why he is so
hopelessly in the position of fish out
Of water in the state politics of this CAM
pagn. Not so long ago-about the time
the news of the Heinzc thug methods in
the committee meeting in Judge McCler-
mans courtroom in Butte went out-there
was some slight sprinkling of Heinze sem
timent in Eastern Montana. But today
Heinze is given the cold shoulder in that
quarter. Residents of that section of the
state could not be made to believe that
thuggery in politics was the right thing,

The breaking of log jam is one of the
most thrilling scenes that it is possible to

floating down lazily with the current and
pays no attention to them. This log jam
is most realistically illustrated in "Yon

direction of P. J. Kennedy. 1t is model
of what can be done upon the stage, and
none Of the details are missing which go
to make it a perfect representation of the

AN INFAMOUS CAMPAIGN.

Mr.. lIcinzc is soliciting the support
OF the public to give judgments in his
various law suits at the ballot box, based
upon the passions and prejudices Of the
hour that he may be able to kindle. He
seeks 10 divide the community upon the
sole issue Of his personal grievances alts
his fancicd wrongs. Controlling the is
sue OF every suit that he has brought
in the courts of Silver Bow county, he
now seeks ratification of his questionable
and is carrying on the most indecent
judicial campaign known to history. He
is raising false issues in order to cover
ZIP the nfamy of his own methods.
~
This is Mr.. Heinze's star role. He
pursued this course in the Michael Davitt
case in Helena. He filled his subsidized
Helena paper, during the trial of that
case, with the most sensational insinua-
tions and charges against the Standard
Oil company, claiming that that con-
Germ and the Amalganated Copper COM

nearly $4,000, 900 in cash and checks

more fortunate fellow-citizens whose taxes
keep the municipal pot boiling, the park

warm fact. The money represented the
