SENATOR CARTER RETURNS.

Senator Thomas H. Carter has re-
turned to Helena from Washington.
In an interview he speaks in the
highest terms of the legislation pass
ed at the recent session of congress.
regarding it as of the greatest i'm
portance to the nation and the west.
He talked entertainingly Of the rate
bill and the meat inspection law. or
the latter he said: "The meat in
spection bill will prove of great and
enduring value to our stock raising
and importing interests. The presi'
dent, to my personal knowledge, earn
estly desired the passage of law to
remedy the packing house evils with
out making public the reports which
clearly showed the necessity for an
inspection law This result was ac
complished in the senate. but UNI
fortunately determined opposition
sprung up in the house, which forced
the president to make public the re
ports of the government agents.
While Senator Carter thinks the
packing house evils have been some
what magnified he said that careless
ness and ayarice have led to a de
plorable state of affairs in many Of the
departments Of the large concerns
Mr.. Carter says that after the pres
ent excitement shall have subsidet
the meat trade will be on a more sub
stantial basis than ever before.
Referring to national politics Mr.
Carter said it was the consensus o.
opinion that Mr.. Bryan will be the
Democratic nominee for president
Vice President Fairbanks and Secre
tary Taft We're most frequently men
toned as Republican candidates. al
though in many quarters President
Roosevelt is being urged to again leat

Trial Speed and Sea Speed.

Among the advantages claimed for
the increasingly popular passenger
ships of large size and moderate speed,
should be mentioned the fact that
many of them are showing in regular
service a rate of speed which is fully
as high as that which they maintain
ed ON their trials in smooth water.
Moreover, because of their great
weight and momentum and their mod
crate speed, they are not so greatly
affected by adverse weather condi-
tions as the faster ships. and their
coming and going is marked by great
regularity and a close adherence to
the sailing schedule. If 23-knot ship
runs into heavy sea. it must make
a much greater reduction in it's speed
than is necessary in a vessel of say
Is to II knots speed: and. conse'
quently, it will be more liable to miss
tide and suffer nights detention,
say at Quarantine. New York, than a
ship of the slower type. AS showing
how the big vessels of the intermedi-
ate type are running we'll up to their
trial speeds, we may take the case OF
the "Amerika,' which, in recent
passage from Cherbourg to Sandy
Hook of 3,14O miles, maintained an
average speed of 1871 miles an hour;
while on its preceding easterly pass.
age, it covered distance of 3.0SS
twenty-four minutes, which works out
as an average speed of HI miles
an hour. The high-speed liner, how,
ever is not in any danger of being
forced out of the field by it's slower
sisters; as witness the fact that the
North German Lloyd have under con
struction twin ship to the 23haknot
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" and that
the Cunard company will shortly put a
pair of 241a to 25-knot vessels in ser.
vice. So rapid is the increase in the
number of those who can afford to pa,
the highest rates for Atlantic travel,
and so great is the demand for rapid
transit on the part of those to whom
time is an object. that We look to see
a limited number of 25-knot vessels
built from time to time for the Allan
tic service. The majority of the trans
Atlantic liners of the future. however
| will undoubtedly be of the "Amerka'
and the Baltic" type; for not only are
these the ships upon which the com
panies depend for the greater part OF
their revenues, but because of thell
steadiness, absence of vibration, and
the more lengthy sea trip which they
afford, they are becoming increasing
ly popular with the travelling public

RESTORED TO HONOR.

At last Captain Alfred Dreyfus has
been indicated by the French SUI
preme court and restored to his rank
in the army. the charge against him
being that of communicating French
military secrets to a foreign power.
In restoring his honor France has
done all she could do to remove the
stain that rested on the government
for the long years of persecution and
imprisonment inflicted upon an inno-
cent man, and simply because he was
a Jew. The conspiracy Matched up
to humiiate and punish Captain Drey-
fus out of racial prejudice. was the
most villainOus and diabOlical in the
annals of any government and could
ages. Even as it is. justice has moved
with painful deliberation. Some
of the odium has been removed. d
partial reparation has been made. but
nothing can erase from memory the
hours of mental and physical suffer
ing endured by the innocent victim OF
malice, hatred and envy. during his
three years of incarceration on Devil
island. There is some compensation
in the thought that the most of the
conspiratorS have received their just
deserts in one way or another. For
tunately, through it all, Captain Drey
fus has had the assistance of loya
friends and a devoted wife.

nation to pursue the middle, just and
impartial course by which the rich
and poor should enjoy the equal priv
ileges and suffer the equal and just
enforcement of the laws" He recog-
nized this as the platform of the Re-
publican party.
It is one thing to denounce exist
ing conditions, it is an easy matter
to put high-sounding platitudes in a
platform and advance plausible theor-
les in a general way. but something
quite different to construct measures
that will treat all interests fairly and
yet accomplish the end desired
Mr.. Taft can see no reason for re-
turning a Democratic majority in the
next congress. 'as no party has ever
taken more decisive steps to restrain
the abuses of irresponsible corporate
wealth and power than the Republican
party. While the administration is
straining every nerve to secure COM
pfiance with the laws, it is prophesied
that that champion Of this reform,
the man who. not by words, but by
deeds as president of the United
States. has shown his adherence to
the principles of equal protection and
laws to all. and his courage in re-
sisting all claims of special immun-
ity. whether for organized labor or
capital is to be rebuked and thwart-
ed by the return to congress of a ma
jority of the opposition. Not while
the Americans admire courage. consist
ency high ideals and practical COM
mon sense. not while they live in en-
.ersy. honesty and Americanism, not
while they take a man for what he is
and what he does rather than for what
he says. will this prophecy be justi-
fed"
The speech of Secretary Taft may
be regarded as the keynote of the
campaign, and whatever effect it may
have upon the south. it will be of great
help to Republicans in the balance
of the country in presenting the is
sues fairly before the people.

MONTANA COAL PRODUCTION.

Daily MissOulian: Montana is not
classed among the great coal states
of the union. but it is coal prOduc-
er and the belief exists that discov-
cries will be made which will great
ly increase the output and that the
quality will be improved. According
TO figures of the Geological Survey,
the coal output of Montana amounted
in 1905 to 1.643,S32 short tons. valu-
ed at $2.S23.350. The coal mining in
dustry of the state has shown COM
paratively little change during the
last eleven years. Although the pro
duction in 1905 exhibited an increase
of 2S4.913 short tons. or y per cent
over that of 1904, ii exceeded by only
100000 tons the average production
during the preceding ten years and
was little less than the output re-
ported in 1897 and in 1900.
The returns for 1905 do. however.

Land Boom After War.

Ever since the Japanese-Chinese

coal mines in that year, for there was
not only an increased production, but
prices showed decided improvement
and the total value an increase of
$62S.S12. or 2S.6 per cent. from ST.
194,54S in 1904 to s2,S2335O in 1905.
The average price advanced from
$1.61 to SLIP per short ton. The
larger part of the coal produced is
sold for locomotive use and the i'm.

less due to increased business with

Notwithstanding the increased pro

employed was considerably less than

working days was the same. The to-
