MANTLE FOR CONGRESS-.

While in no sense a candidate for
the honor, it has been suggested in
republican circles that the party in
casting about for a suitable man to
head the state ticket this fall, the
republicans would not only honor the
gentleman, but the party as well, if
former Senator Mantle, Of Silver Bow,
were named for the congressional
nomination. Mr.. Mantle is not only a
gentleman of much ability, but years
of experience in the legislative halls
of the state and at the national cap
ital eminently qualities him to serve
the people of the state at Washington
should he accept the summons of the
party to again enter public life.
Time was, and not very many years
ago, when The Gazette would have
bitterly denounced any plan suggest
ed to bring Mr.. Mantle forward for any
position within the gift of the party in
the state. In fact this newspaper
took a prominent part in oposing the
political views of the Butte gentle
man when the party went to pieces in
the state on the monetary question,
but those matters are now. of the past,
and the party as far as that question
is concerned is again fully united .
The fact that Mr.. Mantle left the
party, for the eason that he could
not endorse the St. Louis platform
declarations on the money question
in 1896, is not to- his discredit. It is
generally accepted that he was sin
cere in his convictions and that in
leaving the republican ship on that
question alone he did nothing to his
discredit. Events since have proven
that the political party to which
the Butte gentleman gave aid and com
fort after leaving the party with
which he had affiliated since attaining
his majority, was simply using the
white metal as a cloak under which
to gain the presidency and that il
was never intended that the de
mocracy should restore the silver dol
lar to it's former basis. When this
piece of hypocricy was exposed, Mr.
Mantle, with thousands of others, de
clined to longer be a party to the de
ception.

man who would unite all the elements
Of the party in a campaign as would

Article ~, sections Is and 16, of
the constitution of the state, specif-
cally prescribes the duties of certain
state officers in relation to the as
sessment of railway property. The
duty Of these officers as set forth in
the constitution is plain and there
can be no misconstruing of the Ian
guage set forth.
The official organ of the state adj
ministraticn admits that the railways
have not in the past paid their just

people to take up the question of
railway tax-dodging and do some

The people are bound hand and foot

concerned. That power rests with a

way corporations to escape with the
lowest possible showing?

TRACY AS A GUERRILLA.

Butte Miner: The successful man
ner in which Tracy, the outlaw, has
eluded his pursuers calls attention to
what a desperate man, who has some
knowledge CT the topography of the
country, can do against tremendous
odds. The name in which he has
avoided capture for several weeks
while hundreds of armed men have
been hunting him is most remark
able and serves to call attention in a
general way to the fact that the guer
rilla when he takes to- the field in
variably has the best of it. There is
some similarity between the late ca
reel of the Oregon outlaw and the &C.
ton of the Beers in Africa and the
Filipinos in the Philippine archipel-
ago. Tracy has this week had as
many as one thousand armed men af-
ter him, but at this writing has sue
c~essfully eluded his hunters, although
word is liable to come at any moment
that he has been taken.
In South Africa a few scattered
handfuls of Beers managed for months
to stand off a British army of over
5000 0 men. That is to say, the Dutch
on the veldt, through their knowledge
of the country, were enabled to great
ly harass the English forces by com
ing down upon them at unexpected
places at times when they were least
looked for, and after inficting a de-
feat upon some outpost or garrison,
disappearing as though the earth had
swallowed them, to turn up later to in
flict some other blow upon the en-
envy. No small amount of satire and
sarcasm was expended on the English
by. others nations ove that ccuutrJ''s
inability to capture a few guerrillas.
The wal of late in the Philippines has
been pretty much of the same char
acter; a few organized bands of Ia
tives have kept the American soldiers
busy chasing them through the jungles
and swamps.
In both Africa and the Philippines
the great difficulty that the prepon-
derant forces have had to contend
with was an unfamiliarity with the
ing to operate. AS far as Tracy is
concerned he is an ideal guerrilla,
whatever else he may be. A remark
able thing about the facility with
which he has escaped capture is that
although he. is apparently thoroughly
acquainted with the region in which
he is located, there must be many OF
those engaged in his pursuit.who have
an equally intimate knowledge of the
country. r.
Tracy's actions suggest the thought
that a few determined men in a rug.
ged country like Montana could de.
fend the commonwealth against a
mighty army, Oh if they could not
successfully stand off an immense
force they could at least harass it by
cutting it's lines of communication
and carrying on a general guerrilla
warfare such as the Beers prosecuted
in Africa. In a conflict of that descrip
ton a knowledge Of the topography is
an immense advantage that makes 8
small force superior to a very large
one. particularly in a rough country
