There is joy at Helena and legis-
lative minds are free and happy once
more. Assurance has been given by
the Northern Pacific that at their ex-
piration the n~inety-day passes are to
of the good, old sort are to be issued,
those of the kind that the legislators
Of Montana have come to regard as
one of the emoluments of their high
and honorable Office and possession
of which has become a right which
is not to be abridged or violated at
the within of a suspicious general pas
senger agent or the caprice of a gen.
eral manager or president.

It is possible that the persistent
manner in which the friends of that
gentleman keep Judge Parker's name
to the front may have had something
to do with Growers trip to Philadel-
phia for the purpose of having his pic
ture "took," just to show that he is
not as dead aus Mr.. Bryan and some
other envious democrats are trying to
make him appear. No doubt in due
time copies of the picture will make
their appearance in the newspapers
and the people will be able to judge
for themselves.

What may be regarded by some as
q freak" bill has been introduced in
the legislature of Washington, but
which cannot be said to be entirely
devoid of merit. 1t proposes that in
ordinary cases at law the number of
jurors shall be four instead of the
usual twelve and that the vote of
three out of the four shall be suf-
hcient to constitute d binding verdict.
Whatever may be said against the
proposed innovation. it cannot be
gainsaid that it would result in a
marked reduction of the costs Of liti-
cation, and that in a majority of in
stances the judgment of three men is
fully as good as that of a greater num-
Der. 1t certainly would make the
trial of lawsuits much less cumber-
some and complicated than at present.

stitutional: while demanding govern
ment control and supervision, he
places himself on record as being
opposed to it, and would have his
party become a body of anarchists
n nihilists by doing that which he
says the constitution forbids.
It all democrats were like Repre-
sentative Sparkman the party emblem
would properly be a string of long
cared animals instead of the one that
now does duty as is trademark. If
he should find his plans and speci-
fications rejected by the committee
on platform, the gentleman from
Florida should not be surprised.

''The dignity of labor" forms the
leading editorial of a recent issue of
the writer uses all his power of argu-
ment to prove that labor, whether of
the manual or mental kind, is really
and truly dignified. All will agree
with him, but there are many who are
of the opinion that if labor could be
made a little less hard at times it
would still not suffer in dignity and
those performing it would be just as
we'll satisfied.

The democratic members of the SEN
ate apportionment committee un-
doubtedly were aware of Senator
Brennan's political complexion at the
time of his appointment and now to
make the claim that he is too much
a partisan to suit their purpose Is
offering a poor excus for his removal
as chairman. They could hardly ex-
pect that the fact of his being made
chairman would induce him to be.un-
true to his party and do the biddings
of democrats whenever asked to
stultify himself.

CASE OF MAJOR GLENN.

St. Paul Dispatch: Veterans of the
civil war have read with some amaze
ment the accounts of the prosecution
perhaps persecution would be the
better word-of officers of the army
serving in the Philippines, under
charges of cruel and inhuman conduct,
of which the case of Major Glenn is
only an instance, possibly an extreme
one. The veterans learned that war
is hell" as Sherman correctly char
acterized it, and that it is not to be
conducted on the lines of behavior
which are proper in a debating So
ciety. If in that strife between men
Of the same race and country there
occurred instances of brutality, OF
"cruel and inhuman conduct" as
harsh as any reported from the Phil
ipines-and all veterans know there
did-how much more liable were such
instances when the enemy was OF the
nature and dispositions of the Fill
ipons? It is not necessary to condone
or excuse the hard fact-it was in
evttable.
That the trial of Major Glenn eId-
ed in his acquittal Is no than
was expected by his friends in this
city, who could not conceive that this
genial gentleman became a murder
GUS barbarian simply by crossing the
Pacific. His prosecution, as in the
other cases, may, we believe, be &C
curately ascribed to the sentimental
list section of the anti-imperialists,
who raised such a hue and cry about
cruelty and inhumanity that it was
felt necessary to demonstrate it's falls
ity by bringing some Of the instances
to trial. Major Glenn happened to
be one of the unlucky ones picked out
for vicarious sacrifice in a good cause,
the discontinue of the idealists who
elevated the Tagals to their W plane
and endowed them with their W
sensibilities. Naturally, these gentle
folks were vastly aided by the demo-
Gratis who fancied they saw oppor-
tunity to make capital cut of the

WELL WORTH INVESTIGATING.

The lower house of the legislature
has acquired the investigating habit
and it is a peculiar sort of a day that
one of it's members does not want
something looked into by a special
committee appointed for that purpose.
Having investigated almost every
thing else, the house now proposes to
make an inquiry into the manner in
which the state arid land commission
has been doing business and how it
expended sums of money entrusted to
it's care and in amount sufficient to
make their expenditure a matter of
concern to the people. Tolman of Car
bon county is the instigator and the
committee for which he called is charg-
ed with making special examination
of the acts of the commission as they
relate to the amount of about $780,
900, received by David A. Cory and
Donald Bradford, members OF said
arid land commission, from A. Worm
ser, the purpose for which said mon
ey was received and for what expend-
ed, the legal authority for such ex-
p%enditures and the names of all per-
sons to whom such amount or any por.
ton thereof was paid out, and the
date of payment"
In order that the committee might
do it's work thoroughly and that all
the facts be known the governor was
requested by resolution to submit to
the senate all the reports that have
been made to him by the commission.
The reports were forthcoming and for
the first time probably they have been
seen by others than the executive.
From them it was learned how the
commission had obtained the 100000
from Mr.. Wormser, but the manner in

senator from Gallatin may be reason
ably certain of three votes two years
hence when it m to electing a
successor to Mr.. Gibson, no matter
how some others may go that have
to be reckoned with as among the
things to come. He evidently did not
sign the majority report without a
thought of the future.
