THE TWO TICKETS
Some Approximations as to the Make
 Up of Them.

The republican city convention will be held tonight and the democratic primaries today. So by night each side will know what kind of a battle it has to fight. The prognosticators are busy but so far nobody has quite decided upon the personel of the two tickets It is generally understood that Wal ter Bennett will be the republican nom- lnee for mayor and that the candidate for councilman from the first ward will be either s. J. Tribolet, John T. Dennis or Ed Eisele. There is a strong sentiment in favor of Mir. Tribolet. who has taken a strong interest in the affalrs Of the party. The third ward candidate for the council will probably be John A Marshall or Frank Moss. The republican candidate for the office of assessor and tax collector, it is thought, will be W. C. Foster. though another candidate will be H. NJ. Chap men. Marshal Kinney will be renomfn- ated and for the office of recorder there can be nobody but Jobs, so say the ma jority of the delegates who were chos- en yesterday.
 The situation is slightly more doubt ful in the democratic camp. Opinion is divided between the proposition for the adoption of the citizens ticket and the nomination of F. Gang for mayor and the renomnation of Dunlap and Shott. There is still another opinion which is against the renomination of the retiring cOuncilmen Wfc have not always stood in with the Young Mems Democratic club. E. W. Spears is re- garded as q promising candidate from the third ward and F, Sunderland from the first. The most-talked of candi- date for recorder is A. D. Leyhe F. $. Russell will be nominated for assessor and tax collector and most likely Henry George for marshal his most formidable competitor, Joseph Hill, withdrawing last night.
 The general belief about town is that he republican ticket whatever it may be will be successful.

The republican primaries for the se- lection of delegates to the city conven- tion to be held tonight passed without incident yesterday. There was really no opposition anywhere to any of the caucus tickets.

CATION law are to be a success. ID
allow two years more to pass without
repeal would mean that a very large
part OF the lands which II Is planned
to redeem will have passed from the
government to spectators and live
stock interests, in most cases fraud
ulently. and the scope of the irriga-
tion act would be limited to tracts
which have been withdrawn so that
the land grabbers can not get at

lands that it is not planned to re-
DEEM" which will comprise at least
two-thirds of the unclaimed lands in
the arid states and territories. These,
of course, will be left as part Of the
public domain over the use of whicn
stockmen will quarrel. We do not
oppose the preservation of land for
agricultural purposes, or land that
can be redeemed by irrigation for
that purpose, but the government
should make such selections of lands
and Withdraw them from the opera
tiOns of all Of the laws save the home
stead law. II is not impossible to es-
tablish or locate reservoir sites where
the water can be had by storage, or
by converting it from large streams
or lakes. If such reservoirs are i'm.
in some regions then why
should the land laws be so changed
as to forever render large tracts a
part of the public domain? The re.
lands should be made as easy

the government will be unable TO re.

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.

The solicitude for the Republican
party on the part of the Democratic
press OF this state is something re-
markablc. 1t is "seein' things" Of an
alarming nature in the Republican or
ganization Notwithstanding the huge
mote hat almost obstructs its
vision, II would give good
deal il il could remove the mote en-.
iirely so it could see its own political
way more clearly. If they can see a
few men who are anxious to create
Republican discord they are enlarged
into a strong and bitter faction. pull
ing and hauling for the supremacy
and control in the party councils Of
this state.
This is all due TO an imperfect ol
Fergus County argus., 1903-08-26

biased vision. and a desire 10 divert
the search light which they fear VIII
be turned on their own cmasculateu
and disorganized party in this state,
a party that is recognized and con-
trolled every two years by the man
or men having axes to grind and the
most money 10 spend.
The men who compose the Repuoli-
can party of Montana have other en-
ployment than discussing politics the
year round. When they meet in con-
vention a year hence they will select
their strongest and ablest men to lead
them to victory and We believe the
proceedings of that convention Will
be entirely harmonious. II there are
a few klckers and sore-heads the odi-
um will be all theirs. Honorable men
accept the decision Of the majority.
The Republicans of Fergus county
have always exercised the utmost
freedom in state conventions and in
their choice Of party leaders. In this
connection il is but Just to say that
they never entertained anything but
the kindest feeling for the Hon. Thorn.
as II. Garter. He has never made de-
mands nor dictated in local politics.
but on the other hand he has ever
stood ready to aid the party and the
people of this county when il was in
his power 10 do so. The intimation
OF our contemporary that he is not
held in high regard by the Republi-
cans of this county, is simply a graf
uitous Offering. While not bound 10
any man. should the whirligig Of time
place Mr., Cater's political star in
the ascendency there will be no kick
ers among the true Republicans Of
Fergus county. If an able and better
man can be found for leadership he
will receive the same hearty support.
But when il comes TO discord and
factionaI fights the Democrats Of Mon
tana have a monopoly. II would be
impossible 10 tell >ast now who are
the party leaders. Governor Toole is
in bad order Heinze is leader of a
faction of the party, while Clark has
no following worth mentioning in the
strongholds of the party.
One-third of the Democratic voters
of the state have embraced the social
istic faith and will not affiliate with
the party. While a good many who
have voted the ticket have become
tired of the rule Of money and cor
ruption and its non-progressive stand
on all national issues. Surely, the
Montana Democracy has troubles Of
its own.

Nebraska Republicans held their
state convention last week. They un-
animOusly endorsed President Roose-
Welt for a second term and declared

dently. "a prophet is not without hon
or save in his own country" will ap-
ply TO the late leader of the Democrat
c hosts in a measure. Mr.. Bryan is
stronger in many other states than he
is in Nebraska, but there are signs
that he is rapidly losing his influence
everywhere. Nothing succeeds like
success and Mr.. Bryan's two dismal
failures as a leader has lost him the
confidence of a party that cares more
for the offices than il does for any

RETIREMENT OE MILES.

roar Is going up from the Bryan
press against the terms of the order
through which the retirement of Lie.r
tenant General Miles was announced.
1t was too curt 10 suit that press, and
1t didn't glorify Miles or exult in the
record he has made as a soldier.
But there are reasons why it could
not well do so. General Miles for
some years has skulked; he has TAX
en- pains to bring out and have pub.
lshed all the vile and cruel charges
that have been made against the
army in the Philippines; after his Wis.
1t to that archipelago he made report
which renewed lot of those accu-
sations, and he took pains to send
Major Hunter. a personal enemy Of
Major Howe, and on Hunters cx
parte and hostile report, General
Miles took the trouble again to bring
the accusations against Howe to pub
lie attention in this official report of
his, referred to above. Though the
record of the Howe case was acces-
sible 10 General Miles, he chose to ac-
cept the Hunter biased report. ami
to allege that Major Howe had A
number Of Filipino prisoners whipped
to death at Loag. Luzon, where he
was in command in 1900. Revolving
pictures of Howze's cruelties were
portrayed in Miles report; how. af-
ter the whipping. the ground was
strewn with bits of Filipino flesh AMI
patches of brown skin: how eyel
those who administered the whipping
were often moved to tears by the suf.
fering of their victims. Howe was
held up to public execration as a dis
grace TO the army and to our modern
civilization. But il was shown that
this was all fictitious stuff, told by
the insurrectionary leaders to prevent
their followers from desertion or sur
render. Ten offices of the army who
were with Major Howe at Loag con-
tradicted the whole story; nothing Of
the kind occurred; and Secretary
Root. on a review of the whole case.
came to the conclusion that the
charges against Major Howe were
false, and that his administration at
Loag was commendable.
Now, in view of these things. what
was the department to DO? If il gush-
ed or made parade over Miles retire
ment, the friends of that officer, verv
naturally and most certainly. would
have claimed that as vindication OF
Miles course and action the past few
years, and confession that the ad-
ministration had been treating him
unjustly. IT, on the other hand,
Miles record simply had been given
the department must have censured
his later doings as severely as II nat
urally would have commended his ear
lier service. The alternative was
merely TO isue the order Of retirement
in as brief terms as possible. This
the department did, indulging Meth
or in commentator nor censure. And
we think its course was wise. and
! that neither Miles nor his friends
have any reason to complain of it,

Treasure Troye.

In brick field near Feodosia. on
the coast of the Crirea, a vessel con-
tanning about thousand ancient
Greek copper coins of various sizes
has recently been dug upon. On one
side of the coins the letters HAH are
inscribed; on the other side is the
head of Pan. Pan was the tutelary
god of Panticpaum, the old Milesian
colony upon whose site Kertch now
stands. The coins are in good preser-
vation. They bear, besides the In
scription, a quiver and an arrow. This
is unquestionably portion of the
treasure brought by the Greeks from
Ionia when they founded Theodosia.
