Three months ago the citizens of
7
Valentine donated about 4000 fori
the relief of starving Cubans Ac
cording to reports in the daily press
the donation did notleave the U S
until Monday Three or four weeks
ago the piesident called for 75000
more volunteers Up to date not a
single company has been
under the new tcall
by
mustered in
Ve are told friends that a gen
tleman gave us a good cussing at
the depot Jast Sunday t night because
ivcJfiad the temerity to say that hehad
made an asVof himself the last time
he was in town His foul mouth
stopped for neither men nor women
who were present and the blackguard
ing continued untilthe last lady had
left the platform
In this day and age when every
thing goes by pulls it is refreshing
tor know that people have a judge be-
iqre whose court every person nigh or
low rich or poor has to stand upon the
legal merits of the case at bar Such
is the enviable recordsJudge Westover
lias established for his court and no
matter what the case may be every
person I eels that nothing but strict
justice without fear or favor win be
dealt out People in this district did
good work when they elected Judge

The American Ecopomist the vade
mecum of republican editorial writers
declares that the recent republican
victory in Oregon as wpnby a fight
for protection- It jplaces tariffbe
lore the money question Interviews
with two congressmen froznOrgdn
are significant Tnsay the1 reub 1
licanfoujdnothave carried the state
either this year or in 1896 on the
financial question alone This is
merely a hint to the fusion forces and
we should be prepared to tight the
enemy on this ground as well as on
finance
One of our neighboring exchanges
reported that it received the following
communication from one of its patrons
Send me a few copies of the paper
which had the obituary and verses
about the death of my little child a
month or two ago You will publish
the enclosed clipping about my nieces
marriage And I wish you wonld men
tion in your local columns if it dont
cost anything that I am going to have
a public sale and will rent a part of my
farjn also that I have a few extra
calves to sell at public sale Send me
a couple of extra copies of the paper
this week but as my time is out you
may stop my paper as times are too
hard to waste money on a newspaper
The proceedings at the recent ses
8ionof the populist national com
mittee held in Omaha illustrate the
vanity of attempts at harmony be
tween men who maintain exactly op
posite views on national political
questions The so called
are determined against
fusion while their opponents in the
partyare equally earnest in their ad
vqcacy of a course that will obtain re
sults All time t and energy seeking
to harmonize these differences are
simply wasted The middle-of-the-readers
would prefer to see the gold
bags in powerrather than t to aid in
the election of men whoT were not
known ast populists Populisms- who
-advocate fusion are anxious for results 1
and they would prefer the election
a silver republican or a silver demo
crat to the triumph of a gold ticket
Between Senator Allen and General
Manderson there cannot be any degree
of harmony The views of these two
are no more in harmony than the
views of Grover Cleveland are har
jnpnious with the views of William J
Bryan Why then shoujd there be
any effort made to obtain harmony
under such conditions
With a burst of righteous indigna
tion the Ord alz last week exclaimed
There were copperheads id the early I

Men stood back then arid fought the
government in the rear by the mean
est of all weapbnsithe tongue falsify
ing facts and impugning the motives
oi me government anatne same
thing isgoing on flow Copperheads
wereU democrats then and copper
heads areall populists or demopops
now- c
But near the top of the same column
appears this little item
Bryan did not hear McKinleys first
call for men to go to the nations de
fense Will he hear McKinleys second-call-
Could anything be more false
Does not the Quiz read the daily pa
pers Dpe3 it not know that Bryan
tendered his services to the govern
ment and received not even a reply to
his offer According to the Quiz and
its brand of papers you are a copper
head if you tell the truth about a re
publican administration and a patriot
if you lie about a democrat who wishes
to fight for his country It is patriot
ic if youjjjmeve in issuing bonds tor
which therms no need if you believe
in starving the Cubans for whonV we
are supposedly fighting while a few
contractors get rich and soils ot their
lathers receive soft snaps in the army
and navy if you believe in annexing a
leprous country to secure a naval
station while we own the only harbor
in the country suitable for such a pur
pose crIf you impugn the motives
of democrats or populists who chance
to secure appointment and it is cop
perheadism if you dont Hade3 Is
full of such patriots
Our government already owns in
fee simple the only sheet of land-locked
water in the Hawaiian islands that
is in anyway fitted for a naval and
coal station This is Pearl river har
bor and from a strategic standpoint
Pearl river harbor is alf there is to
Hawaii la that harbor we have the
kernel why should we covet the shell
The London TimSiT says The mari
time power which holds Perl river
harbor and moors her fleet there holds
also the key of the north Pacific
Does this not satisfy every require
ment raised by this argument We
have only to fortify Pearl -river harbor
and no nation can grab1 the key of the
nortHacrncI THe harbor is ours
absolutely already to do with as we
please So long as our guns t that
harbor are effective we need no more
Hawaiian soil to use as a defense of
our Pacific coast
In announcing the opening of a new
volume of the Butte Gazette Editor
Armstrong truly says
While it would be a heavenly state
of affairs to run a paper tbat would

that we have probably rubbed the hair
the wrong way on several occasions
