ONE OF TIlE UNMUZZLED The Billings l'imes is a conspicuous i x aniple of tihe saelf -st)'ld "uminuzzled pre's," of .Montana. Its abice editor admits that lie wears Iino c muzzle, and he leaves little excuse for doubt respecting his ability to tell the reasons why provided he could se cure th1' right kicnd of an audience. Al though his valuable paper is published in that region of the sMate which Mr. Ilrilnte has scneriigly characterized as the "cow counities." reasonably suppoed to have stall interest in mining laws or mining litigation other thanl that comniacon concern which all citizens and all coani aniti:'s prlperly exercise itlh regard to tile gel ercal welfare of the' state as a wlhole, the editor ,of the Times has exhibited more excitementlll, more antxiety, anii more language in treatmenat of the subject of an extra session thanll ost p)alpe'rs or l)ersonl)l directly acTected iy the iterruplltion of inldustry within the state. Il the last issue o the 'Times ti reach the Inter Moluntainl oftice applcars all article which the editor takes tile trouble to assure his recaders "is not written ill the ilnterest of any political party or faction," hut "wholly andl sclely in the interest of the uncollcared people of the state of whlat ever political helief or altiliation." The' article asserts that "it is all ulnteessaty for the Times to enlter into the lcgal phase of the legislation contemplalted in the governollr's proclamacationl," anld continues witl a discussic n of that phase to the ridiculous conclusion that the legislature a is powerless to pass a constitutional act to give force to a plain constitutional pro vision. Itut that is amecre iancidenct, . ere are the gens,. the prize jewels of the Times r.eearches oii the sulject: "''The taxpayers, the voters oaf Molitana, are appalled at the action which the chief execulti\c of the siate has tcaken." "cievernor Toohle, as was stated in the last i ssue of the Times, is perfectly familiar with the c pllexion of the pres enut body of .Montana lawmakers--knows that a majority of this bidy is politically in symplathy with the( princiles eanunciated and practiced by the saime hellish cotm bination of grasping capitalists." Soi'me unntuitzzled papcers are' clllontent to punish the graspinlg corporations which refuse to let go. (tihers are satisfied to htmliliatle and expose the muzzled press and the politicians of the oppttsinatg party as in league with the wicked. Ilcrc is a chap with cotllprehension and frecdoml, not to mention uns Iellishlness, that cabiles hint to contsign corplorations, govcrnlor, nmuzzlecd press. legislature, crourt decision. andl tile public inl general, to thei eternal bow-wows with one bill of lading, the while he stands like a 'ulossus to protect the in terests of tilhe few remitaining resildents as described by hint, compelled to enter upon a hard winter without so much as paper collars to shield their devoted necks from the yoke of oppression. If this nuzzleless, valorous defender of nobody in particular is in his right mind, which is asstuned to be the case, should he not pray merciful Providence to bless his intellect with somie Iild form of intlsanit. ? PANAMA AND SAN DOMINGO Those partisans who seek to contrast, to the detriment of the Roosevelt admin istratiun, the recognition of the republic of Panama with the refusal to recognize the revolutionists of San Domingo, are singularly lacking in information or are attempting wilfully to mislead the people. T'he Colombian and the Dominican revo lutions are far from being parallel. In the one case a state in a ulnion of several seceded from the federation and set up a governlment of its own. It held absolutely all the territory over which it claimed sovereignty. It was a govern ment de facto and entitled to whatever recognition it could obtain fromt foreign countries. Its ports were not blockadea, its territory not invaded by the military forces of the original mother nation. It was more entitled to recognition than the Confederate States of America in the civil war were, and it is a matter of history that displomatic reasons alone prevented Great Britain recognizing the confedera tion as a government de facto. In the other case the revolutionists in San Domingo have formed nothing that by any construction can be termed a govern ment de facto. They are conducting a revolution and not a secession. They have gained no material advantage so far. They govern nothing. They have failed to upset the existing government save in a ter isolated towns whete they are in eantrol on the same tenure that Plum Iper's band of desperadoes were in control of liannack and Virginia City in t86j, with no higher standing in the eyes of nations. To recognize the new republic of Panama when it seceded from Cohonmbia was as well within the law of nations as the reconglition by France of the Aierl can colonies as a governmllenlll tie facto when they cast off the yoke of allhgiance to King ;George. To recognize the Jimiliez revolution in San f)onlingo woull lie oil a parallel with the recoginition by France, for instance, of Agitinaldo's junta as the government of the 'luhililpines ill Iti,.

It is due Mr. Bryan to note that he did not pro.lpos that the democratic party should appeal to the corisccience of the people with (;ormtan as the candidalte till a pilatform paratiounting the question of race prejudice. So far as we have been able to olbserve, none of the democratic editors has at tributed the result in Ohio to I'ncle Mark MIanna's reftusal to imteet loll Johnlllson's lawyer in joint debate.

An unfair trial adv'ocate nccds no ac cuser. If the census figures are no nearer ac curacy with respect to the cost of living and rate of wages than they are in relation to the population of Montana cities, it is scarcely worth huile to draw conclusions fromn them. The administration policy in the Pana ma matter has caused grave apprehensions for the future in the office of the New York Evening Post and among the inmates of The Home for the Aged in Boston. It appears from the frequently reported hold-ups and burglaries that some of the lawless people in town feel able to con tinue it business without open and avowed protection from the city government. The Western News at Libby is not counted among the muzzled newspapers, but the industrious persistence with which it barks at the moon Indicates that its owner hopes to convince somebody that it ought to be. Just laws and honest and impartial courts are the first requisite for a great and prosperous state. 'rhe price of coal continues to be reg.. lated by the laws of supply and demand-. the supply of the consumners and the deo-. mand of the dealer. TO PASS THE TIME And He Got It, You Bet.

Tennessee Courtship. The following dialogue took place be- a tween a rural swain of East Tennessee and his lady love. The story is vouched for by an editor of the local newspaper. Silas has been sitting by his sweetheart beneath the grapevine in the yard and the pale moonlight of a southernl summer evenilng was softly stealing through the vines, giving the whole scene the color of :a fairy cavern, and Silas had reached the point "whar I jest had ter ax her or bust." Creeping closer to the blushing inmaidin who sat silently toying with her palti leaf fan, lie said: "I've er great mind ter bite yo'." "What fur, Silas?" "Itekase yo' won't have mte." "\Well. yo' hain't axed tue." "Well, I'm agwine to." "Well. II' a-waitin'." "Now I axed yer." "Den I'll have yer." And then the pale moon blushed a crim son red and the old lop-eared hound lying by the gate gave chase to a neighbor's in truding pig. ENMITY TOWARDS RUSSIA Count Cassini's Error in Attributing It to Kishenev Incident. I San Francisco Call.] ('ount C'assini, the Russian ambassador to Washington, has returned from a long vacation, most of which he spent in Paris. lie says truly that his post is now re garded as the most important to Russia. But lie is surprised to find a palpable enllity in this country toward the govern enult of the czar. This he quite mis takcnly ascribes to the Kishenev massacre of Jews. A:t far as the American people are con cerned they joined the humanity of the world in expressions of deprecation of that fanatical crime, but it did not cause any settled enmity to the Russian government, which seemnted to us to take fairly prompt and certainly creditable measures to punish the criminals in that affair amid degrade the public ofticials who should have prevented it. We furnish too many illustrations of the violence of racial and religious prej udices in the midst of us to sit in stern judgment upon other nations that are sub ject to the same disorders. The recent mobbing and murder of inoffensive Chinese at Tonopah, Nev., and the unlawful treat ment of the same people of this state, in Tuolumne county, not only infringe the treaty rights of the Chiinese, but deny the constitutional rights of their American em ployes. So we are not unmindful of the beam in our own eye. The growing enmity to Russia in this t country has quite another cause. Ryps'a does not keep her word. She se~ms guilty of a trick in joining the other pow ers in an agreement to evacuate China after the Boxer troubles were over. She waits until all the others are gone and Sthen refuses to go. She amends the date e of her departure and still stays. 'Her bad faith is cumulative. She has stayed in China by breaking her word, and her stay has been used in aggressions which en danger the peace of the East and thereby the peace of the world. It is amusing that the count complains that Russian diplomacy is accused of be longing to the Machiavellian school, and that he carefully limits his interview to Kishenev and Macedonia, omitting anyref It erence to Manchuria and China, ".f-i diplomacy belongs to an older school thar that of Machiavelli. Long before him the sultan, Ab-der-Rahman, gave to his min (ster these 4nstructions: "Reply to every It demand with promises; postpone the ful fillment of these promises to the last mo ment; gain time; throw every possible difficulty in the way of complainants; act so that, weary of making demands, they will desist. If, however, they threaten, " yield, but just as little as possible; If they begin to load their guns yield entirely, but not until the supreme moment arrives." Russian diplomacy is of the school of Ah-der:Rahman, upon which that of Machiavelli may be easily grafted. Rus sia's course in the East Is a perfect illus tration of the policy of the old sultan, and China has beer~ the first while other na tions are to be the second victims of that sinister policy.

Prosperity and Exact Justice for All. S(Missoula Missoulian.] Some in Montana may not realize it, but by resnmption of work in the Amalga ntated prperties this state has escaped perdition. llavinlg that escape in view, realizing that our salvation is dependent upon the protection of all business en terprises which furnish work and wages, the lpeople of tile state do not hesitate to demIand equal and exact justice for all, but also demand a cessation of the con tentions of corporations which work to tile injury of all. Tl'he paid howlers and heelers luist tmove to the rear. They have dominated in Montana long enough. If they wont't stop howling when told to stop, more effective measures will be in stituted. Dl)ring the special session of the legislature a great deal can be settled, and it must be settled right, to remain settled. INTER MOUNTAIN'S DAILY FASHION HINT ;.' '.' ] ·' AFTERNOON COSTUME OF PLUM CLOTH.-The design of the Eton in this Friedlander suit suggests a Capuchin hood over the shoulders, and the elaborate scheme of braids and fringe further this impression. There is a shallow yoke ^nd vest edging in embroidered white cloth, and stole ends in braided plum cloth extend below the waistline. The skirt is plaited to the waistband and falls in full folds to the feet, where an elaborate pattern is braided above the hem. A narrow band of curved haircloth is introdiºced in the interlining, and a velveteen binding affords the correct finish, .. ' ·~ affords the correct finisl. AMONG THE PLAYERS "The Two Sisters." The present tour of "The Two Sisters" will extend from New York to Halifax, thence west to the Pacific coast and re turn to New York, visiting all Important cities en route. The distinguished author, Denman Thompson, has carefully re hearsed the present company and equip ment and supervised all details, so that the public may reasonably look for a per fect perfuormance of "The Two Sisters" on Saturday, November at, at the Grand Opera house. Lulu Glaser Coming. If Miss Lulu Glaser, who is coming to the Broadway Thanksgiving day, is not very careful she will soon have the title of "queen of comic opera" conferred upon her by the American theater going public. Some of her most enthusiastic admirers now do not hesitate to speak of her in those glowing terms. lHowever this may be, there can be no doubt of the fact that she has scored a most substantial success in "Dolly Varden," a success that is prov ing a lasting one, too, as her return visits to the cities in which she has appeared fully demonstrates. Miss Glaser is one of the not altogether uncommon young women in these days who have jumped from the ranks of the chorus to the posi tion of leading lady in a single night. "Rudolph and Adolph." Mr. I. L. Davidson, business manager of Broadhurst & Currie's Mason and Mason comtpanfy, "Rudolph and Adolph," will soon be with us arranging the details for the engagement of his attraction at tile Grand Opera house, Thursday, Novem ber _6. If MacGinniss Recovers From Fright. [Great Falls Tribune.] Whether or not Mr. MacGinniss will return in time for the meeting of the legis lature cannot be predicted. He may keep ont going east and when he gets to the Atlantic ocean may not stop, but it is very probable indeed that, if he is not too afraid that the miners of Butte will renew their offer for his stock, he will return in order to lead the Hlcinze forces on the floor of the house and so oppose himself to the best interests antd to the wishes of those metn whom in tile past he has pre tended to support and love. Mayor Mullins' Choice of Courts. [Missoula Missoulian.] Mayor Mullins of Butte has stied the Inter Mountain for $So,ooo damages al leged to have been sustained by the publi cation of an alleged libelous article. The surprising thing about the suit is that It was instituted in the district instead of the federal court, as Mayor Mullins is said to Ibe a resident of idaho. On sec ond thought, however, we see that there is nothing surprising about it, as the suit is brought in the district court of Silver Bow county. A Copper for a Heinze Thought. [Tacoma Ledger.] Mr. Heinze of Montana does not believe there should be an extra session of the legislature called. People outside the state are not informed as to the real necessity, but the opinion of Mr. Hleinze will prompt them to the belief that an extra session is exactly the thing necessary.
