FUNSToN's HOT SHOT.

Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston was the guest OF honor at a din
ner given by the Lotus club OF New
York on the Sth inst. After the re-
past the capturer of Aguinaldo was
introduced to the party by President
Lawrence Of the club and at once
proceeded to give his views from per-
sonal knowledge and experience OF
affairs in the Philippines. The In.
trepid little general never fights with
blank cartridges and he talks just as
he fights. evidently. He poured hot
shot into the 'aunties" from first Il
last and exploded some of the false.
hoods that have been given circula,
ton by the opponents of the govern,
ment's policy in the Philippines.
The general reviewed the salient
features of the war from the begin.
ming. He said when Manila was
surrendered to Dewey and MERIT:
some thousands OF Spaniards were IN
the city. In the eyes of the world
these people looked to the United
States for protection and ito have
turned them over to the uncontrol
able mob known as Aguinaldo's army

Another striking instance Of the
| miscarriage Of the law and OF jus
tice was the case Of Andrew Belant
| who was tried for murder In Carbon
county recently. While the evidence
was largely circumstantial il was OF
such a clear and convincing char
acter that there seemed to be no es.
cape from the extreme penalty. But
the ways of a jury are past finding
ont until after a verdict is rendered.
and then 1t Is even more difficult Ia
understand how they reach certain
conclusions under the law and the in.
structions of the court. In this case
even the presiding Judge could no.
restrain his indignation. He de-
clared that the evidence was clear
and conclusive of a malicious and
cold-blooded murder. the penalty for
which under the laws of Montana is
death. He said il was the clear and
unquestionable duty of the jury to
have found a verdict of first degree
murder. The verdict rendered, he
said, was the outgrowth of a false
sentimentality and a misplaced SYM
pathy. Under the verdict, however.
there was nothing for him to do but
to pass the sentence which the jury
had fixed. Judge Henry sizes up the
situation correctly when he says the
verdict was the outgrowth of "a false
s~entimentality and a misplaced SYM
pathy." II is coming to that pass
when il would be hard to conceive
of a crime so atrocious and diaboli-
cal as to meet the demands of a first
degree penalty in this state. The
delaying of murder trials from term
TO term and from year to year has
something to do in mitigating the
seriousness of the crime.

SOME FALSE CONCLUSIONS.

The Great Falls Tribune. like a
great many other Democratic papers.
argues from a wrong premise in OPP
posing the Republican policy in the
Philippines. In combating a para.
graph in the ARGUS last week the
Tribune reproduces a long letter
written by Abraham Lincoln to the
Jefferson club OF Boston to show
where he stood on the slavery ques-
ton, the inference being that the Re-
publican party was now the party OF
oppression, and II alive Abraham
Lincoln would not be in sympathy
with its policies. Nothing could be
farther fetched than such a deduc.
ton as this. The Tribune would have
its readers believe that present con
ditions are similar and that the gov
eminent was going to impose worse
hardships upon the Filipinos than
those endured by the negroes. The
negro was a slave. a human chattel.
to be bought and sold. Is there any
thought of enslaving the F%ilipinos?
Are a thousand American school
teachers there for that purpose?
Does not this alone indicate a desire
to enlighten them and make them fit
for self-government? Did the south
or the Democratic party of that re-
| gion do anything towards educating
| the southern black man? Are they
in favor Of doing il now? Senator
Tillman says no. The Tribune says
that today the party that Jefferson
founded is back upon his teachings,
after the straying which Lincoln
pointed out" and says "the Repub.
lican party ignores the teachings of
Lincoln" all of which is quite humor.
Gus. The region which produced
Jefferson and where Democracy is
the strongest, is resorting to every
expedient possible to deprive the ne
roes OF the rights guaranteed them
by the constitution. Though they rep
resent millions of dollars worth OF
property and are taxed to maintain
local. state and national govern
ment they are deprived of a vote on
questions of policy and taxation
Here is taxation without representa-
ton, exactly what our forefathers
revolted against. Is this Jefferson
ian? The solid south is the bulwarl
of the Democratic party and 1t is
made solid by denying the black maj
his rights under the constitution. II
the light OF these facts it requires {
great deal of audacity to accuse tn,
Republican party of depressing any
lone.

The editor OF the Billings Times

this have happened in a political way,

The Great Falls Tribune having
told us what Lincoln would say il
alive today we now have the opinion
OF the Nashville American. a Demo.
cratic paper of great influence in the
south: IF Mr.. Lincoln were presi-
dent today his Philippine policy
would not be affected by any consent
of-the-governed theory. He would
weep no tears over the Filipinos with
guns in their hands fighting Ameri'
al soldiers. but would urge the
American forces to unrelenting activ'
ity until they compelled peace in
those islands. That was his policy
when fighting the south, and against
a people among whom he vas born.
for whom he had the kindliest per
sonal feelings, and against whom in
all the rancor of political debate and
bloody war he never uttered a word
of bitterness or hate"

The irrigation bill which passed

provides that at least half OF the

Commissioner Hermann of the gen.
eral land office has recently made
two decisions affecting homestead
entries that will be of interest to set
tiers. The commissioner holds that
where a settler dies before the con-
summation of his claim. the widow
or. in case of her death, the heirs
may continue the settlement and OBJ
tain title upon requisite proof at the
proper time. If the widow proves up
title passes to her: If she dies be-
fore proving up. and the heirs make
proofs. the title will rest in them
The other decision is in relation to
a settler who may become insane.
In such case the commissioner holds
that his entry may be proved up, and
his claim perfected, by any person
duly authorized to act for him during
his disability, but in this case the
entryman must have become mentally
unsound subsequent to the initiation
of his claim. The commissioner
holds that there is no authority for
the extension of time for the estab'
lishment OF residence on a home
stead entry. except in cases where a
party is prevented by climatic con
ditions, such as severe storms, floods.
