A NEW REPUBLIC.

The revolution in Colombia was not
altogether unexpected. though the
peaceful manner in which it was
brought about occasions some sur
prise. Although there are threats of
hostilities they are not likely to ma
terialiZe, as the people of Panama ap-
pear to be about all there is to it ami
have the situation well in hand.
Along with the United States they
want the great canal project put
through for the great benefits that
will accrue TO them. and are not dis
posed TO make an extortionate de-
mand for the right of way. The Co
lombian government. through hoggish
greed, had set out to bleed this coun.
try, believing that its terms would
eventually have to be accepted. A
mistaken idea. The offer OF so, 600.
O00 and an annual rental of s250,000
vas liberal enough. considering the
benefits to be derived by the Colon.
bians. II has been minated that the
transcontinental railroad lines have
secretly taken a hand to checkmate
the canal project and that this infu.
ence was used in Colombia for that
purpose. But proof is lacking to sub
stantiate this charge.
OF course. the administration at
Washington will be accused of aiding
in bringing about the revolution. But
this IL absolutely denied and even IL
true il is not a very serious matter
as long as the revolution is bloodless.
The partial recognition of the young
republic certainly manifests great in
terest at Washington. an interest
shared by the people Of the entire
country. II is to be hoped the revo
lutionists can make good and estab
fish a permanent republic: at least as
permanent as one could expect In

employed and the issue put forth by
him in that state would lose him

he greatly needed them in order to
be successful. Il may be regarded as
shrewdness TO appeal to southern pre-
judice in his treatment of the negro
question when IL comes to his own
state, but the states tnat he must
carry to win will have very little time
for such an arrant demagogue. In his
campaign Mr.. German made a dirty
and vicious fight against President
Roosevelt because he entertained

He had campaign buttons issued char.

ure of a man, German. the shifty, un-
scrupulous politician, whose ambition
is confined TO his own political adyan-
cement, or Booker T. Washington,
who Is giving his time, his thought
and his enegries to uplifting his race
and in making them worthy citizens.
Before high heaven, German is the
least worthy of the two, however man
kind may judge them. In entertaining
this high type of his race President
Roosevelt made no attempt and had
no thought of establishing the equal
ity of the races, and no n but a po-
litical charlatan OF Germans calibre
would make such a charge to gain
votes.
As a matter of fact, the recent cleo
tions have not cast up any available
candidates for the Democratic nomi.
nation nor have they weakened the
chances of President Roosevelt before
the people.
Mr.. German will never become pres
ident on that issue. Besides he has
not made his peace with Mr.. Bryan,
which will be found necessary even
before he can ecu the nomination.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

At this writing Governor Toole is
still considering the proposition OF
calling an extra session. Nothing is
known as to what his decision will
be, although there is a feeling that
he will heed the voice Of the people.
Had Governor Toole not been chain
cd to the wheels of the Heinze char
lot he could have decided this matter
in a few hours.
There is nothing unreasonable in
the request.
The cost OF a weeks session OF the
legislature is a mere bagatelle COM
pared with the loss in wages 10 the
miners and laboring mer of Butte and
Anaconda alone for the same period
of time.
II is not on the score of economy
or ~cheese-paring that the governor
hesitates. There is a good-sized skel-
eton in his political closet. But he
should harken to the voice of the
people now that he may not later be
compelled to listen to the cry OF dis.
tressed mothers and their children.
There is a demand tor a fair trial
law to the end that any litigant can
secure justice in the courts of Mon.
tana. 1t is the opinion of able law.
yers that such a law can be enacted.
Then why should it not be done?
The miners and laboring men OF
Montana are not interested in the at.

Our agriculturallsts should not for
get the Farmers Institute to be held
here on the 18th inst. Great good
has resulted from these meetings in
other parts of the state and Fergus
county has been neglected hereto
fore. no doubt. owing to the great dis
lance from the railroad. This county
is comparatively new in everything
pertaining to farming. There has
been but little encouragement in the

every year shows signs of progress
and increasing interest. Fergus coun
ty has the soil, the climate and every
favorable condition for successful
farming and with a ketter market at
home and an outlet for surplus pro.
ducts new interest should be aroused.
The gentlemen who will be here TO
address the farmers will not be mere
theorists. but earnest. practical men,
who will speak from demonstration
and actual tests here in Montana.
This is a matter that should not be
treated with indifference but with the

first in the state as an agricultural

justice Of his claims.
To contend that all judges whom
Mr.. HeinZe does not own are Allied
with the Amalgamated company is
casting an insult upon the Judiciary
of this state.
We believe there are judges of the
highest integrity in Montana, mel
whom all the wealth of the Roths'
child's and R~ockefeller's could not
buy.
The courts of Montana should be
purged of men who disgrace the err
mine.
II the people will rise in their might

All that is desired is justice, it mat
ters not whether the Amalgamated or
Mr.. Heinze loses. We believe Mr..
Heinze has a good title to the Minnie
Healy mine. If he has he should be
given absolute possession of the prop
erty.
The mining litigation in Silver Bow
county is casting odium upon the
whole state; upon those who are not
responsible for the situation.
A crisis is At hand and now is the
time to make a start in purifying the
courts.
Not only Butte and Anaconda but
the whole state is suffering in a more
or less degree by the closing down of
mines and mills.
The governor should act in the in
terest of justice and mercy.
Will he prove equal to the occasion?

ture to on December LIST.

CATCHING AT STRAWS.

The Democratic press is trying to
get a little comfort out OF the recent
state elections as they relate to the
contest mex year. Some of the or.
CANS are foolish enough to believe. or
at least to state, that the result in
New York City means the turning
down of President Roosevelt and the
loss to himself of the state in the
presidential contest. Some go so far
as to say that the Republicans will
have to find a new candidate TO take
his place. OF course, there is moth
ing in these statements. The wish is
simply father TO the thought. In the
New York contest the president made
no attempt to conceal his deep inter
est in the success of Low and the citi.
zens ticket. but he in no way cut a
figure in the election. With Tam.
