Helena, August I4.-Rain stopped the
tennis at noon today and as the semi
finals have not been reached, it is prob
able that the tournament will run over
into Saturday.
Only one set OF singles were played
this morning. but that was of Importance
in that it gave an idea of the chances
Matteson, the Great Falls crack, has for
the championship. He defeated McLaugh-
lin of Butte 6-4, 6-3, in the fastest
sets yet seen at the meet. His nerve is
very deceptive and his net play strong
and although Mclaughlin played steady
game, working every point for all 1t
was worth he was unable to locate the
ball when it was Mattcson's turn to put
the English on it.
The singles between Butler of Living
ston and w. Bailey OF Helena were
stopped by rain. Butler was ahead but
it was too early in the game to predict
victory for either. He had the first set,
6-a, but all three will have to be begun
over tomorrow.
The Railcy brothers OF Anaconda and
Morrow and Wood of Great Falls, had
played only few games and it seemed
to be an even thing. 1t will be impos-
sible to play on the court later in the
afternoon. as it is in bad shape from the
rain, which fell steadily for several hours.

The navy department is inclined 10
think that the revolutionists in sacking
the town seized what they could lay their
hands on.
Minister Bowen, in the dispatch, the
contents OF which the state department
made public today, says he is advised by
the United States consul at Barcelona that
the revolutonists are sacking that town
and searching private houses. They are
demanding money from foreign residents
in exchange for a guarantee for safety Of
lives and property.

that Minister Bowen's dispatch Of ycster-

Senator Hoar's speech.

Senator George +. Hoar's splendid speech
on the Administrations policy in the Philip
pines will make all the campaign literature
the Democracy needs on that head. Worthy
indeed of his title of the Gladstone of
America" the senior Senator from Massa-
chusetts tore the mask from off the face of

cloak and guise of patriotism and "benevo-
lent assimilation" are engaged in the most

tifully and indeed Ipathetically he pointed
out the contrast in our treatment of Cuba
and the distant Philippine Islands. In the
one case we have justly earned the esteem
and respect of mankind, in the other we are
earning their execrations. Cnba has been
given its independence and now floats its
flag over Moro Castle and over every foot of
the Gem of the Antilles. To the Republic
of Washington belongs the honor and the
glory for this rehabilitation, or rather the
creation of nation and a sister republic.
But our course in the Philippines has been
that of conquerors, free booteTs, tyrants and
plunderers and not all the waters of the
Orient will wash out the stain on our escut-
cheon. We have lowered our flag in Cuba
with honor and we may vet do so in the
Philippines and earn the gratitude instead
OF the immortal hostility of its people.
Senator Hoar pointed out the road of safety,
justice and honor in his eloquent and un-
answerable speech. Will the Republican
administration heed the voice of this Re-
publican statesman or pursue the policy
mapped out for it by the spectators who
are driving our soldiers over the corpses of
women and children and causing beautiful
provinces to become "howling wilder
nesses7"

A straw.

At the meeting held here on the evening
of the 18th instant to hear Redmond and
Devlin, members Of the British Parliament,
explain the plans and purposes of the
United Irish League there was a vast crowd
of attentive auditors. The audience was
composed of influential and representative
Americans of all races and political and re-
ligious creeds. Senator Hoar presided
To Americans, the most significant thing
that happened there was the thunderous and
prolonged applause when Chairman Downey
incidentally remarked that Great Britain
had her Gladstone, but America has h er
champion of liberty throughout the world
who maintains that government by the con
sentof the governed is. and always will be,
a fixed American principle"
The spontaneous thunders of applause
that greeted this sentiment is the very best
of indications as to what the verdict of the
people will be when it comes their time to
speak at the coming elections on the blund-
ering Republican Philippine policy.
Competent authority has pronounced the
Filipinos as capable Of self-government as
the Cubans Why then was not the Philip
pine question handled in the same compare
lively satisfactory manner as that Of Cuba9
There is no answer except that slir.shod
Republican laundering prevented it.
Coaling stations, commercial rights,
American suzerainty if you will, and every
other advantage that we needed or could
make use Of in the far east could have been
peacefully secured and the legacy Of hatred
engendered by barbarous warfare that will
last for generations averted.
There is a Democratic remedy for this and
the American people will soon apply it.

The Rentz Santley bear the reputation

They have realizing sense of the publics

constantly seeking novelty.

In short, Happy Hooligan could scarcely

However if our latest by grapevine
special is correct, Mrs Roosevelt, wife Of
the President seems TO be influenced by
bad social advisers. She is said to depend
on the widow and daughter Of the late
James G. Blaine for social guidance as to
Washington society affairs in which she as
official leader sets the pace. She has estab-
lished an elite White House set Of fourteen
Senators wives, the other madam Senators
and Representatives being relegated TO the
common herd.
The united grapevine press association
also informs us that she could scarcely be
more unfortunate in her choice of social
mentors. If there was one thing more than
another that kept Blaine from being Presi.
dent of the United States, it was the cranky
narrow-mindedness and snobbishness of his
women folks. IF it had not been for this
he would have had margin enough to over
come the Burchard trick and the Prohibit
tion diversion. Mrs. Blaine, who was her
self Yankee school mistress, and should
have been democratic in her ideas managed
to offend by her ever obtrusive and ostenta-

It seems likely that Roosevelt will be
hampered by the same home manufactured
shackles though Heaven knows he needs
help instead of hindrance.
Though the ladies are always admirable
in most respects, il must be sadlysconfessed
that some of them are afflicted with narrow
ness Of mind and lack Of broad Christian
democratic sympathies, which retard the
progress Of their husbands instead of con-
tributiug helpfulness and strength. Is
there something in the generally admirable
constitution of woman that makes these
little "snitty snibbish" characteristics a
necessary evil accompaniment? We think
not, as the late General John A. Logan had
a wife, still living, and an ornament to
womanhood the world over, who for breadth
of intellect, broad Christian sympathy and
force of character is not inferior to what
that distinguished man was in his life time,
and this circumstance contributed not a
little to the steady success Of his career.

have been peering through prison bars
because in their poor way they protested
against what they conceived to be a gross
wrong. We are not anarchists when we
call attention 10 such a situation, we are
only stating a logical result Of abuses Of
the taxing power.
In this connection perhaps we ought not
neglect TO notice the remedy proposed by
certain political economists. Professor
Wiley and other gentlemen equally versed
in science suggest that the people quit
eating meat especially those who cannot
afford it. A very simple and effcacious
remedy and we must take off our hats in
admiration to those who have evolved such
an easy way to thwart the beef combine.
We wonder they do not claim patent on
the idea. Still we do not believe such a
remedy would appeal 10 a very great degree
to those who are hungry. However the
remedy proposed is not novel We have
read somewhere of farmer who trained
his calf to live without eating but unfortu
nately for the poor calf and also unfortu.
nately for the farmers experiment when
the animal had been gotten in proper con-
dition to do without nourishment il died.
That Is very much the way many human
beings will solve the problem if the combine
goes on TO Its logical result. The people of
India or a portion of them have done just
what the wiseacres now propose for Amer
leans, viz: quit eating meat. They quit il
because they could not get it. They have
learned to subsist on one meal in ten days,
and not a full hearty meal at that Meat is
away beyond them. SO the combine pro-
poses for the laboring people OF America
and in this they are assisted by the scien-
tifc professors who kindly pat them on the
back and tell them they are better off than
when they eat less.
II may be Republicans will win votes by
such combinations and by such specious
pleas apologizing for them. It may be
they can still fool the people by telling
them they ought to be happy when highly
taxed but when those men come to pay the
higher bills made by such high taxation

soothed by high sounding editorials on
