A CHEERFUL PROSPECT.

AS was well stated by the Hon.
erything augurs for republican sue
cess in Yellowstone county at the en-
suing election. Never was the party
more earnest or united than at pres
ent and never were it's members more
enthusiastic CT determined in their
efforts to win a victory. On the other
hand, the deocrats are divided and
d~issention has broken their ranks.
The Clark democrats are trying to
down the Heinze democrats and
the Heinze followers are not a bit
less backward in their efforts to Sc
cure a strangle hold on the other fell
lows. Between the war of the two
factions whatever prospects of sue
cess for the party may have been Wis
ible earlier in the season are fast dis
appearing in the distance. The unan-
unity Of which so much vas said at
the late county convention does not
seem to be quite so unanimous now
and some men are working hard to
even up scores they hold against those
whom they charge with unfair deal
ing, to put it mildly. The orders that
came from Butte, although not car
ried out are still not forgotten and
while there may be a surface sem
blance of unison, deep down there
IS much quiet work of unrest going
on and knives are sharpening for lodg.
ment where they are supposed to do
the most good.

A FUTILE EFFORT.

Omaha Bee: The effort of demo-
Gratis to refute the republican asser-
ton that the democratic tariff policy
was, responsible for throwing hun
dreds of thousands of people out of
employment will be utterly futile. Ev-
cry intelligent man knows that such
is the fact and the history of the Pc
riod of industrial depression and idle
ness from 1898 to 1897 is accessible to
all. Competent authority has esti-
mated that during that time 100000
men were out of employment, while
the wages of those, employed were
constantly forced down, many work
ing only part time at that.
1t is true that the democratic tarlff
law was lot enacted until 1894, but
the success of the democracy in 1892
threatened the overthrow of protec-
ton and the industries of the country
becoming alarmed Immediately cur
tailed operations and continued to
lessen production until the law was
passed. How great was the loss to
labor from this depression, due mainly
if not wholly to the democratic as
sault on perfection, it is not possible
to compute, but it was enormous.
The democratic party is again at
lacking protection, but it will hardly
be able to persuade intelligent work
ingmen that it would be we'll to re-
peat the experience of only a few
years ago, which many of them must
vividly remember. The democratic
tariff policy would do immeasurable
injury to American labor.

THE PROPER POSITION.

P%hilipsburg Mail: Judge Holloway
takes the proper position and his po-
sition is endorsed by the republicans
of the state of Montana. Judge Hol-
loway is and always has been a re-
publican, and the fact that he will not
decline a nomination by the populist
party or a nomination by the labor
party does not make him any the less
a republican, nor does the fact that
such organizations have taken up the
candidate of the republican party con-
| stitute a fusion of any sort.
The nomination of Judge Holloway
ed by him, and he accepted the high
honor with a deep sense of apprecia-
ton. He has not since then, directly
or indirectly, in any manner solicited
the nomination or endorsement of
any ether political organization.
This statement Judge Holloway
makes positively and the character
Of the man is such that any state
ment made by him must necessarily
be believed. Not a suspicion of dis
honor has ever attached to Judge Hol-
loway's acts, although he has been a
judge of the district court for a num-
Der of years; and his integrity is
such, together with his reputation,
that all people of Montana will accept
his statement as final and as contain
ing the truth in regard to his nomina-
ton by republicans, populists and the
labor party.
Judge Holloway further very sensi-
bly, says, 81 do not feel called upon to
forbid any voter to cast his ballot for
me, but, on the contrary, I appreciate
the support of every elector regard.
less CT his party affiliations.
The position of Judge Holloway
will be endorsed by everyone and it
is certain hat his position will lose
him no votes among the true republi-
cans of the state of Montana.

THE AMALGAMATED COMPANY.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Ga
zette appears a statement by Presi-
dent Scallon of the Amalgamated COM
pany in which he clearly sets forth
the aims, desires and wishes CT that
corporation. 1t is SO honest, d.spas-
passionate and reasonable that it
should appeal to all lovers of fair play.
Mr.. Scallon makes it plain, no mat
ter what the enemies of the interests
he represents may say, that the Anal
gamated has no quarrel and wants
none with the people or any OF the
other mining concerns, whether
operated by individuals or corpora
tons. All it asks is equal justice
and exact recognition CT it's rights,
demands based upon right and that
equality under the law which the con-
stitution and the statutes guarantee
to everybody. AS to the charges that
the Amalgamated is opposed to the
eight hour law and wants it repealed;
he certainly states the position CT his
company'so fairly and plainly that
no possible room for doubt can exist.
He declares with all the solemnity of
honest and candid manhood that the
company is irrevocably committed to
the system of eight hours as a days
work in it's mines and smelters, .'e-
CARELESS of what changes, if n that
may be made in the laws in that re-
spect. -
He makes it very apparent that
were it the ambition of his company
to drive other operators from the
field it could easily do so by buying
outright the properties of some and
secure control of others by going in
to the market and buying their stock,
as has often been done by large COM
panies in almost every mining camp
of the west. But it has no desire to
do so and is willing that all shall
prosper and work their holdings UNI

Condensed to is utmost, the ques-
ton the people If eastern Montana
are called on to decide is whether
they want to vote for a man who, if
given the opportunity would be found
on the side of those who would re-
duce the tariff on wool and cause that
staple to sell for the same prices it
sold for during the days of democratic
free trade, or whether they will give
their support to the man who is op-
posed to any such change in the happy
conditions now existing for the flock
master. If anybody thinks he or his
neighbor is getting too much for his
wool then he is advised to vote for
Mr.. Evans, but if he is satisfied and
willing to permit his neighbor to
share in the good fortune that is his
he should vote for Mr.. Dixon.

JOLT FOR "~MoRGoMANlA."

Minneapolis Journal: The Jour-
nails Washington correspondent holds
that the reference of tho anthracite
coal fields trouble to an arbitration
commission is a boGy-blow to Nor
gomania." This sort OF mania, it ap-
pears, is the worship of. Morgan, and
is accompanied by an acute case CT
swelled head in The object of the ador.
alton.
Both the god and his devctees have
now discovered that the president of
the United States and the people
count "some."
They have also been awakened to
the fact that even common 'laboring
men cannot be considered as mere i'm
potent puppets.
1t would be strange, indeed, if a
man who has attained to such pima
cles of success and power as J.. P.
Morgan should not be Spoiled" Nor
is it surprising that no matter how ar
rogant he may become he should be
surrounded by an immense throng of
warm admirers, who think that the
financial king can do no wrong. We
have little doubt that both he and his
satellites have often had to think
twice before they could reccllect
whether Morgan was nominal presi-
dent of the United States, SO sincere
ly do they consider him it's real ruler.
1t is that pride Of power in such
men and the u~nreserved devotion of
others to them that give rise to- n
of the dangers of the concentration
of wealth-the breeding of a disre-
spect for law that is not approved by
them.

disturbed and with perfect security,
the same as it asks to be permitted
to do. The Amalgamated is purely a
business enterprise and has no con-
nection with politics, consequently it
seeks no quarrel with the democrats
and has no fight with the republicans.
As an institution pursuing a legiti-
mate business and following a course
dictated by good business judgment
and common it deserves the
good will of the people of the state, to
the upbuilding of which it has con-
tributed in no small degree. 1t is
the largest industrial institution in
Montana and the rights guaranteed it
under the law should be respected.
Were the Vaccinations of those who
are opposing it to be successful even
in a comparative degree much that
would be unfortunate would follow
and many who are now in the enjoy
ment of incomes assuring them home,
shelter and the comforts of life would
find themselves in want and suffering.

BUT at PAYS"

Kansas City Star: 1t has become
necessary to adopt stringent meas
ures to exclude sheep herders from
the Yosemite National park. The
Palisades On the Hudson river have
been converted into stone quarries.
The falls of Niagara have been har-
messed to supply power for a line of
big mills and factories and the placid
and beautiful Walden pond at Con-
cord, Mass, is to be defiled by the
establishment of railroad hog lots on
it's sequestered borders. If there is
anything on the face of the globe
more SLOPPY and commercial than the
United States of America is at this
particular moment it has not yet been
discovered.

is STILL A REBEL.

John Morgan Evans may be sorry
now and resort to weak denial that at
Bozeman, when flushed with the ex'
altation Of success at his efforts to
become his party's nominee, he, pro
claimed himself to be still a rebel and
proud of it. When he made that
declaration he honestly voiced his
sentiments, as he has since then Civ
en- proof. At Dillon, where he made
q campaign speech last week. he gave
evidence of the disloyalty to the gov
eminent which still possesses him
when he declared that so far as he
was concerned he would pull down
the flag in the Philippines where it
has been planted at the cost Of SO
much patriotic blood and at the ex-
pense of suffering, danger and death
on the part of loyal men that the hon
or of the nation might be maintained
and the blessings of security to prop
erty and life and the full fruits of
liberty might be enjoyed by a people
who had been oppressed and perse-
cuted for centuries. His only excuse
for his REASONABLE %utterance was the
t1imsy one of not wanting to govern a
people against their will.
Taking Mr.. Evans at his word as
regard the Philippines it is but rea-
sonable to assume that should he be
elected and the question Of states
rights, which at short intervals is in
jected into congressional discussions
by some of the men who fought under
the guerilla whose, name he sc proud
ly bears, ever come up during his in
cumbency he would be found voting
for the dissolution of the union. A
nan who wants to pull down the flag
in the Philippines at this late day
would have small hesitancy to pull it
down elsewhere, no matter where it
may float in benediction and peace
over a prosperous and happy people.

MEETING,

The republicans of Yellowstone
county have every reason for being
proud of the splendid manner in which
they formally opened their campaign
last Saturday evening. The meeting
held under their auspices was a sue
cess and the magnificent turnout a
deserved tribute to the man who is to
lead the party of the state on to vic
tory. The addresses had the right
ring to them and were of the kind
calculated to make votes by their
impress of truthfulness and sincerity.
1t was a use and much good is
bound to result from it. In addition
to affording the people an opportun-
lty to become acquainted with Mr..
Dixon it also afforded them the oppor-
tunity to hear him express himself
on the issues in which they are inter-
ested and they know what to expect
from him in case of his uccess The
impression he created was good and
lasting, while the speech of Senator
Meyer cleared up scme matters con-
corning which there seemed to have
been doubt.

o ALL N WAY.

Despite all denials by the men at
Butte and Helena who are supposed
to direct the destinies of the demo
cratic party of the state, Heinze is
not without a following, and no in
significant enc, either, right in their
own homes, while it is we'll known
that down in this part of Montana
he has caused a bad disarrangement

cratic column. Many who were in
former years given over body and
soul to Mr.. Clark and the late Marcus

are now to be found on his side of
democracy's family. Notably is this
so right here in Billings, while If re-
port from there is to be credited, he
has Custer county's contingent. al
most soldidly for him.
OF course, this is none of the bus
mess of the republicans only so far
as they take a special delight in the
rumpus as calculated to improve their
chances for success. 1t may be saiu
that some of them are even helping
the thing along for the same reason.
The more the democrats fight amcng
themselves and the worse split ur
they become the better it will be for
the party of good government and
prosperity. For that reason all ap-
peals to them from one side or the
other of the jangling crew will be
met with cold blooded refusais to
take part in the unholy quarrel.

A PUBLIC NECESSITY.

Although it cannot be said thai
there is any danger that the measure
will be defeated, still it behocves ali
those who are in favor Of bonding the
county for the construction of a new
court house to neglect no opportunity
to place the matter in the right light
before those who may be opposed or
those who are undecided as to what
they shall do. The reasons why the
question should carry are SO many
and so cogent that they must at once
appeal to all who have given it even
the most casual thought or %considera.
ton. Everybody knows that the shack
which by courtesy is called Vel
lowstone %county's, public building
long ago ceased to be fit for the pur-
pose to which it is now put. 1t is en-
tirely inadequate in the accommodate
ton it affords for the different coun.
ty officers and wholly unsafe as a
place of deposit for the many valuable
and ~irreplacable documents and rec
ords it contains. 1t is unsafe and
likely to collapse at almost any time,
beside being unsightly and inconven-
lent for the public and those whose
duties compel them to occupy it.
If anybody is %hesitating in his de-
cision to vote for the bonds because
of the likelihood of increased taxes
he may dismiss all such fears. The
rate at which the county's indebted
ness has been reduced during the last
few years and it's increase in wealth
make it feasible to incur new indebt-
edness without any necessity of rails

the county's annual revenue now is

and principle of the various form of
bonded Indebtedness now outstand-
ing as fast as they mature, but also

be borne in mind that the county is
the possessor of some decidedly de-
sirable and valuable realty which it
can sell advantageously at any time
it sees fit to do so, which of itself will
result in the acquisition of a goodly
sum to be applied to the new build
ing.
Vote for the bonds and show that
Yellowstone county is progressive
and it's people awake to the necessity

AFFECTS LABoRING MEN,

The men who toll for their living,
the workers in the shops, mines and
on the railroads of the state, men
whose occupation exposes them con-
stantly to more or less danger should
not overlook the fact that the repub-
lican state convention has pledged
the legislative nominees of the party
to do all in their power, if elected, to
secure the enactment of a fellow
servant law. No piece Of legislation
that could be mentioned more vitality
affects the interests of the working
men than such a law. 1t is in opera
ton in a number of states and with
results highly satisfactory to those
for whose benefit it al enacted.
= Joseph M. Dixon, the republican
party's candidate for congressman, at
the last session of the legislature in
troduced a bill for the enactment of
such a law in this state and did his
utmost to accomplish his purpose, but
democratic antagonism proved too
strong and he never had the satisfac-
ton CT seeing the measure come to
a vote. Being in control of both
houses, the democrats smothered the
bill in committee and it was
heard Of after it's Introduction.
Another matter of interest to the
workingmen and all others whose
time is valuable to them is that of
payment of fees to witnesses in cases
tried in Justices courts and to those
who may be summoned to give testi-
mony before a c%oroner's jury. Under
the law now obtaining, while attend
ance is made compulsory, such wit
nesses are not entitled to compensa-
ton. Notwithstanding that they may
often be compelled to travel long dis
lance and incur expense and loss of
time. The republican convention has
placed itself On record as opposed
tc this injustice and it's legislative
candidates are bound by that opposi-
ton to do all they a to secure re-
peal of the unjust and burdensome
law. The state, no more than an in
dividual. has no right to require any
body to render it service without due
and just compensation.

NO VENEER THERE.

Springfield Republican: The sui
tan of Bacolod is not a civilized ruler
that is evident from his message to
General Sumner, saying: Cease
writing letters; what we want is war"
Your truly civilized %potentate would
insist to the last moment that what
he wanted was peace, although he
would be working his %arsenals and
naval agents night and day in the
endeavor to get ready to strike a de-
cisive blow. The sultan Of Bacolod
is simply honest in saying that he
wants war, and that proves him to be
a savage.

Why DIXON is BETTER.

It is the custom CT many western
people when summing up the accom-
plishments of a congress or the work
of a single session of that body to
find fault with the manner in which
they have been sighted and seeming
ly overlooked in the distribution of
federal appropriations for public Jim
provements and in the. passage of
legislation of particular benefit to
their section They wonder why it is
that the eastern states manage to
get so much mere of everything they
want than do most of those Of the
west and south. While wondering
and complaining they persist in con
tributing to the very cause of their
disappointment and want of success.
Particularly is this the case in Mon
istration after administration has
been republican they have sent demo-
Gratis to represent them in both the
lower and upper house, men who
have not been in sympathy with the
administration or the dominant party
in both branches of congress and
consequently handicapped to a degree.
The opportunity to remedy this
mistake, in a measure at least, is
now before the people Of the state
and it remains to be seer whether
partisan prejudice and bias shall o
tinue to impel them to stand in their
own light or whether they will profit
by past experience and elect as their
representative a man in accord with
the administrator and the party that
| controls the senate and house.
1t is useless to assert that under
the conditions now obtaining at Wash
ington Mr.. Evans can accomplish the
same amount of good for the state
that Mr.. Dixon can in case of his
election. Were a democratic admin
istration in power the reverse would
be the case, but with congress con
stituted as it now is common sense
and experience should dictate to all
reasonable men the proper course to
pursue in the present instance.
