most OF the time finding it, but at criti-
cal points sometimes too talkatiye.F The
story is that OF railroads fight with
outlaws IN the Rockies. Whispering
Smith is the field head Of the railroads
war department. His bosom friend Is a
college-bred youth from the east, who
has been made superintendent of the d.
vision against which the outlaws are
most active. The three other leading
characters are q young woman who owns
a ranch near the division headquarters.
the villain Of the story, and the Villains
wife, who has parted from him because
Of his fall into yillainy. There is plenty
OF action in the tale-action with guns
and otherwise, and for romance two very
pleasing love affairs, which end happily
after the villain has been killed and his
gang broken up.
The author shows a thoro familiarity
with railroading and with the rough life
OF the rough west, and has been able to
make excellent use of his material, pro-
ducing a stirring and typical story, with
a very likeable man for the central
figure. 81.

Do It Again.

Mr.. Rees {speaking for Dr. Wil1iams)
called attention to the fact that the
aldermen who were in sympathy with
Mayor Jones at the time Of his election
had recently passed bills over his veto,
showing that he no longer had influence
over them.-The Tribune. - / :
Mr.. Rees> may have assumed the fact,
but we venture to say that he scannot
establish by the testimony Of the alder
men themselves that they are out Of
sympathy with Mr.. Jones policy. There
was business question raised and one
involving the authority Of the mayor g
office and which, as Mr.. Bees says, re-
suited in the passing Of q bill over the
mayors veto. But what kind Of bill
was it9 A bill which the people Of
Minneapolis know now was calculated
to fasten upon the city an expensive
lighting monopoly. The mayor vetoed
it in the interest Of the public. the
supreme court decided that he had a
right to and members Of the, council
may be said to their great credit-have
since fully justified the mayor g original
position, which was that the city should
own the lampheads. They have appro-
priated $4,000 as a beginning toward
equipping the city with it's. own lamp

sILHERRAD WRITES 4

UNA 1. sILBERRAD. WRITES A
MYSTERY TALE.-An ingeniously con-
structed story Of love and mystery is the
latest story from the pen OF Una j.. Sill
berrad, the author Of tsPetroniila Hero
ven." It bears the name curayi, which
is the name both OF a place and a fam
lily. The tale turns upon the marriage
Of the daughter of an ancient house. who
weds a man she cares nothing for in or
der to save the name and fortunes Of her
family, and upon the unraveling OF a
mystery In connection with that family
by man whom force of peculiar cir
cumstances has compelled to pose as a
preacher. The pose al, the outset throws
the masquerading preacher and the
woman together, and consequences keep
them together until-Well, until Cupid
has had chance to speed two Of his
arrows straight home. IS .a.
There Is completeness and deliber-
ateness about the work Of the author
that makes it very satisfactory to the
reader. There is no artificial straining to
create excitement. That seems sec
ondary matter, to come as q matter of
course from the Incidents narrated. The
story, however, Is the thing; If 1t works
up the feelings, well enough; If 1t does
not, the fault is with the feelings. That,
at least seems to be the attitude OF. the
author. Certainly the story has the ring
Of reality. h, t-rs ~ Ef;s@l. .ss

Why Minneapolis Will
Get Montana's Stock

Stock shippers in Miles City and vi
entity are highly pleased with the an
nouncement that the Armour company
ing plant in Minneapolis. The reasons
are expressed in the following inter
views secured by The Jour rep
resentative:
Pierre Wibaux-If the plant is made
large enough it will be just what the
stockmen here have been waiting for
for years. It will save the expenses Of
leave the money now spent on freight
from Minneapolis to Chicago in the
hands of the shippers, which now
amounts to about 81 cents a 100
pounds; provided, Of course, That the
packers will do the right thing by the
shipper. # not, 1t will not make any
material difference.
The plant must be big enough, how.
ever, to take care Of all the cattle that

the yards were started there years ago.

the market there because it was not
large enough to take care Of big ship
ments. Some days the market would
be overstocked, then q shipper was
obliged to reload and ship to Chicago.
adopted the method Of billing my
shipments thru to Chicago, and If the
st. Paul market was found unsatisfac-
tory would reload and continue to Chi
cago. Finally I found it better to ship
right thru to Chicago. IS

a big packing plant at Minneapolis
would be Of great benefit to the Mon
tana shippers. A market nearer than

shippers as well as reduce the expense

points. If he is honest he will study
the question and improve. The Voters
league consequently hurts no one, while
It does the general public a great deal
of good.
The assumption, too, that the selec-
ton Of an alderman is a ward matter
which should be left exclusively to vot-
ers of the ward is only half true and.
like all other half truths, when acted
upon becomes most mischievous false
hood. The aldermen in their most i'm
portant capacity are servants of the
whole city and it is right and necessary
that the whole city should know who
are the men who are being canvassed
for membership in that body. How are
they to learn9 Only thru such organi-
cations as the Voters League. 81
Let every good citizen read the re-
port carefully, divesting his mind Of
;partizan prejudice and personal consid-
erations, and he will find that the tone
of his thinking is improved and the
moral fiber Of his politics strengthened.

America and Cuba.

The New York Times remarks that
while we should not annex Cuba by a
seizure or conquest, if the Cubans are
found to be incapable Of maintaining a
stable or constitutional government, or
if they shall make known their prefer
ence to cast in their fortunes with U.s.,
annexation need not give disquietude to
our more remote neighbors in South
America, to whom Secretary Root has
recently given assurances Of our disin-
terested regard ..-.,, -.<...u. ..~.A.,,-
The Cuban situation no doubt makes
many minds on both sides of the sep
arating channel revert to the possibili-
ty of annexation. Very likely that
possibility gives force and tenacity to
the present revolt. Under these cir
cumstances it is incumbent upon the
American people and the American
press to be very careful of their ex-
pressions lest they be put in the posi-
ton Of encouraging the insurgents to
hold out beyond the limits Of any rea-
sonable quarrel with their own govern
ment. If they understand that they
must either. conquer the island and ad-
minister it as a nation or submit to- the
present government and; constitution
they will be more apt to have a sense
Of the responsibility than as mere
guerillas striving to create such condi,
ton of chaos as will compel American
intervention. z--,... .@...a... -
Annexation is considered by many tc
be the inevitable destiny Of Cuba as
well as it's best chance for prosperity
and peace. But this is not certain i'm
less we are ready to concede that repre-
sentative institutions are impossible in
the island without great force behind
them. We ought to remember that
this was the very argument on which
Europe predicated the. downfall Of. the
republic Of 1887, and be slow to adop1
the, reasoning which was so conspicu
ously false in our own history. ..n

Minnesota Politics
Democrats Out to Make Strong Show
in Next State Senate-Not Many
House Candidates.

Minnesota democrats are making
concerted effort to get strong represen,
tation in the next state senate. They
have put up candidates in tWenty-sev-
en- of the sixty-three districts, and will
enter independent candidates by petit
tlons in three or four districts, where
they have no one on the primary ballot.
They have put up very few house can
dldates outside Of democratic districts,
and will not have men enough in the
field to come anywhere near controlling
the legislature on joint ballot, even if
all of them were elected. What they
say they want is to get twenty-five or
more democratic senators, enough to
prevent the republicans from passing a
bill over the governor IS veto, in case
johnson is reelected. In the last SEN:
ate they only had eleven, and they are,
likely to lose one. or two of the dis
tricts they held, SO it will be a hard
matter to double their representation.
They have put up the strongest men
they could get to run. &c.,. u:

Jones as O. Candidate.

One Of the Williams speakers who
is attempting to. tell us why Jones
should not be nominated is putting it
on the ground that he is q weak can
didate before the people. Weakness
and strength in votegetting are but
relative terms> If Jones, who got TO-
1888 votes in the republican primary,
was barely elected, what was the
strength of Williams, who received
s,9149 On the showing of his own ora
tors, is he not 1900 votes weaker than
Jones7 # Williams is such a marvel
Gus performer at the polls as he is
heralded, one would naturally suppose
he would have been nominated. But
he was not.
There were 900 votes cast in the
republican primary two years ago and
100000 for mayor cast in the city. It
was quite evident that the republican
vote was sufficient to elect any one Of
the candidates chosen. But there was
a ave-cornered fight for the nomina-
ton. The questions were largely per.
sonal, while today they are of principle.
The opposition lin the election had
the advantage OF possession and of a
complete campaign fund. It had also
the advantage Of the democratic state
ticket riding food tide Of popularity
in this city. Jones faced exactly the
reverse Of all these conditions, He
faced a united opposition with a di.
vided support. He contended with
money, organization and machinery
without any Of them. He faced q di
vided republicanism on state issues
Under all these difficulties his election
was a triumph Of good citizenship, and
instead Of marking him as an unpopu
lar candidate. stamped, him as one o1

The Voters League Report.

The Tribune is not pleased with the
report Of the Voters league. It was
SO displeased with it that it did not
print it. This omission was indefensi-
BILE from the viewpoint Of a newspaper.
From the viewpoint Of an organ the re-
port was reprehensible in the extreme.
Ii contained too many slaps at corpora
tions and corporation aldermen to be
at all palatable to the organic stomach,
! The Voters league is an altruistic
body. It is impossible that it shall do
its work without treading on the toes
Of many people,. Readers of its re-
ports should school themselves to stand
on the broad platform on which it
stands. IT does not belong to any
party or any clique. It works for all
the people. It is ventilator. In the
congested condition Of our local politics
we need a ventilator. We need the
windows open wide to truth from what
ever source.
Some people object that the Voters
league is a secret body, but it's reports
are signed by the names Of two respon-
sible citizens. Has any one heard of
their flinching from the statements
they have madeg Has any one heard
Of their comments being successfully at
tackled in the courts7
Some people are impatient with the
Voters league Quitting in'' on ward
contests. This attitude is possible only
in persons who have tied themselves to
candidates. Naturally these citizens are
annoyed at pronouneement against
their favorite candidate. But let them
look into the thing calmly. IF the
Voters league is mistaken the people
will correct the error. IL the Voters
league is right their candidate may be
defeated and better man chosen and
surely this will work for the better for
even the partizans. Again, the Voters
league may be right and the wrong
man still be nominated. But that can
didate goes into office with the assur.
ance that he will be supported in right.

Roosevelt and the Ohio Senators

Roosevelt and the Ohio Senators.
The attitude Of the Ohio republicans
toward their senators will be better un-
derstood if the republicans Of the ma
ton keep in mind that Ohio is doubt
full state which is perpetually slumping
from one party to another and that
bossism is the cause Of most Of the
slumps.
The state convention which is now in
session is called upon to either com
mend the president and condemn it's
senators or commend both. The former
course is difficult from a party stand
point because neither senator was ex-
pected to sink his individuality in that
Of the chief executive. The latter course
is difficult because 1t overlooks the real
objection to both Dick and Foraker,
which is not that they voted as they
pleased but that both are senators Of
the machine type and both are closely
allied with the Cincinnati boss, Cox.
/ 1t is the issue Of machine politics
and machine methods versus the open
i convention and the independent rights
of the republicans. Ohio republicans
know that the party would be stronger
without either, could they be gotten
rid sof without rending the party to
it's very vitals. 49, +
The fight this year projects itself
into the presidential battle two years
hence. The senators, controlling the
machine, will dominate the state in the
/ selection Of delegates to the national
convention and without doubt Ohio
under their leadership would be in the
reactionary column rather than In the
forward movement Of republicanism
started by the president.
In this aspect the struggle in Ohio
] has a national significance. The SEN
ators understand it and will make the
most Of the dilemma in which the con.
4 vention finds itself. If they are in.
dorsed along with the president they
will accept graciously the favor they
/ have not earned from their constituents
; and go forth with the label of Roose
