ItI as dilaoult task to set Montana

to Speker Reed a silver record, and the
selatiesof Congressman Carter to that

M. eed voted in favor of the suspen

h Bland bill. He has been oonspicu
my and consistently the enemy of
salver. He took active measures to hurt
the emus of silver in (arfield's time.
When he eamh to Anaconda, on 1r
7, episer S, to speak for Carter,
Mr. Rde wa handsomely received and
eapwmasd himself highly gratflied with

Carter, he cordially supported Mr. leed
daring the fight, and a New York re

Carter was pledged to vote for Heed
when the Montana campaign was prog

frids in Helena tell the truth, his
strong second choloe was McKinley,
and not Cannon or any western man.
ThI simple truth is that (arter,Wilson,
Herman and the rest of the northwest
republicans were as constant supporters
as Reed had in caucus.
ALL IN CONFUSION.
Montana has more available land
than either of the Iakotas. It has hun
drds of miles more in railroads than
Washington. Its present resources are
greater than those of any of the new
states in the Northwest, its possibilities
-ae Ave fold grander than the best of
theem can boast. Its patriotic people
have been looking joyously forward to
the hour when all the rights of full cit
laeship might be theirs, yet there was
no one to answer the roll call for Mon
tans yesterday when, amid demonstra
tions of applause, the representatives
of the new states were welcomed to
seats in the federal senate.
Eg la LEI IREpIZ 55mu.n
1ixty days ago the people of Mon
tans met all the requirements imposed
by the general government, providing
for the administration of public affairs
and arranging in orderly manner for
the responsibilities of statehood. Fraud
sought to pervert the popular will and
the indecent fight which was witnessed
at first in silver Bow county has been
transferred to the capital of the state.
A week of wrangling there finds public
busines in confusion, the state with
.at a proper form of government and
the people restive under restraint for
which there is no warrant and whish
becomes constantly more disgraceful
the lnger it is maintained.
Tie time wll come, not so very long
be--s, when the people will insist that
barriers be removed--and the de
mmd will come in tones that
will be heeded at Helena. But for the
mnerwbed ambition of two or three men,
an .od might be put to the unseemly
quarrel at the state aepital within 10
haors. But for these men, the legisla
t-re ebosen by the people would be

Secretary Noble's report Is not a
model o brevity nor is it a eoncise re
view of the subjects on which he is ex
pected to give information to congress
in his annual report. His summaries
and recommendations concern the pub
lie domain, territorial government, the
several Indian commissions, the census
to be taken next year. the affairs of the
land oflce, the question of Irrigation,
the railway land grant business, min
eral claims and Umber lands, the trans
actions of the patent of lce, Indian
affairs in general, the whole field of
pensions, the condition of the several
government reservations, the question
of general education, the government's
charities and a dozen other topics.
In regard to all themes in which the
West is interested, the report of Secre
tary Noble lacks vitality. legarding
irrigation his comments hardly amount
to a reeommendation and they are not
a suggestive discussion of this impor
tant topic, simply conveying the notion
that, it prosecuted by the national gov
ernment, the work should be "compre
hensive and liberal," but conveying no
hint as to whether the vast work soon
to be undertaken in the Northwest
should have pronounced support at the
hands of the general government or he
made the affair of the several states.
In a mildly suggestive way Secre
tary Noble remarks that congress
ought to do something about the min
eral land question in which Montana
has profound interest. It may be as
soerted that two hours of discussion in
Helena, last Saturday, including the
pointed comment then made by I;olonel
anders, threw much more light on the
subject than all the generalities em
braced in the secretary's report. The
discussion of the mineral resources of
the United States leads Secretary
Noble to express the hope that congress
will give the silver question fair treat
ment.
When it comes to dollars and cents
in the interior department, the impor
tant fact announced in the report
of the secretary is that it will need near
ly a hundred million dollars to take
care of the annual appropriation for
pensions.
UNCLE SAM'S WAR VESSELS.
Necretary Tracy says that unless con
gress is prepared to hierease the appro
priations for new war vessels the
work of building up a navy might as
well be dropped where it is. The sec
retary in his annual report of affairs
under his jurisdletion declares that 40
new vessels are needed at once, 251 of
which should be equal to those of any of
the great powers of Europe. In com
parison with those of other nations, the
United States navy amounts to very
little. Few of the Jolly tars who sail
under the American fag are citizens of
this country and have but little interest
in its welfare. The rotten junks
which have only served as a butt for
humorous writers, should be relegated
to the back yards and lUncle S.am should
provide himself with a navy second to
none on the globe. ()f course he really
has no present need of a larger
number of war vessels, but crowned
heads have their playthings. and why
shouldn't we ?
It is doubtful if there is a single iti
zen of the United States who imagines
for one instant that there is the slight
eet danger, so far as any other nation
daring to open fire on the stars and
stripes is concerned, and yet if the mavy
should be built up to a point where the
residents of our seaboard cities will
sleep easier, it will also serve the pur
pose of helping to remove that troubl
some burden of the republican party
the surplus.
So far as the nativity of enlisted men
in the navy is concerned, when the ser
vice is made worth seeking there will
be plenty of citizens at hand who will
embrace the opportunity of serving
their country on the high seas. Just at
present, however, the conditions are
such that the American youth who can
not do better among the land lubbers is
of small calibre indeed.
Th*e ma,,u4 tna.hnlimtl r
The absurd technicality was never
more fully illustrated than in the case
at Butte yesterday where a man who
caused the arrest et Esther ('arson and
Daniel O'lonnell for robbing him and
sought to recover his money obtained
a verdict which entitles him to four
bottles of wine. In company with Miss
or Mrs. Carson, deponent sayeth not,
the gay and festive August Barnham
sallied up to the bar of the Comique
and unwisely threw down a twenty
dollar bill in payment for fifty cents'
worthot liquid refreshments. Strangely

collect the rent: and to give the Inmate
proper warning of her arrival she pulled
the hell with the greatest vigor. Indeed
she gave it such a Jerk that knob and all
camne out of the wall, and in struggling to
maintain her equilibrium she fell and
broke her leg. Probably Mrs. Heinsel
man will receive vastly rore sympathy
froa the 'andlords and landlades of the

latter, we fear, will be apt to glory in her
broken leg, arauing that the catastrophe
proves two things; first that the unnece
sary strength she put forth in pulling
the bell from its socket shows an ill-tem
per which needs disciplining; and second,
that if she kept the house in proper repair

the other handl, thre Is something about
the energ and earnestness displayed by
Mrs. Heinslenman that suggests an arrem-
age of rent. Altogether the landlady's
broken leg affords a large field for thought
