Democrats Will Fight Msntsas Sena torial Content la the legislator. Special DtFpatcb to The Inter Oeean. HELENA, Mont Jan. The first week Of the leglzlatlve session ended today by both bouses adjourning until Monday.

As yet nothing has occurred that would forecast the outcome of the Senatorship fight. Although largely In the majority, the Democrats bsve not caucused, and It Is not believed that a caucus will be held before the first ballot Is taken next Tuesday. The leading candidates are W. A. Clark, E.

D. Matts. and W. G. Conrad, and each appears to be afraid to take any chances In a caucus conclusion.

This means a protracted con test, unless something unexpected bappena. The fifteen Republicans in ths Legisla ture have caucused and will support T. Marshall, who was defeated for Congress last November. It is reported here that some of them may break away from Marshall and vote for Clark, In order to get the Senatorial fight out of ths way. This is hardly expected, however, as sue plcioa would forever attach to Republicans doing that, since it has been broadly hinted that Clark stands ready to spend $1,000,000 rather than sustain defeat at ibe hands of his old enemy.

After discussing th Chicago platform and emphasizing the le-to-1 plank. Colonel Bryan took up the new qu-stlons tnat have grown out of the war. Ho called attention to th President's recommendation for a larger army, and Insisted that ths army should be divided Into two branches, th army for do mestic use in tbe United States, which, be said, did not need to bo Increased, and the army of occupation, which is temporarily necessary for use outside of the United States.

He said that tho army of occupation should be recruited at once, in order to relieve the volunteers, but that the term of service should be short, becsuse ths Nation's policy Is not yet settled. He suggested that the demand for an Increase In th Army might -a con sidered as ths first fruit of that victory to which ths Republicans pointed with so much pride last November. Brias's Views oa Aaaexatloa. Turning to the question of annexation, ne insisted that ths Nation baa not yet decided what to do with the Philippine Islands. Hs spoke In part as follows: "The sentiment of tbs people upon any great question must bs measured during the days of deliberation and not during ths hours of excitement.

A good man will sometimes bs engsged is a fight, but it Is net reasons ble to expect a judicial opinion from blm until be bas bad time to wash the blood off bis face. I have seen a nerd of mild-eyed, gen Us kine transformed Into Infuriated, boasts by the sight and scent of blood, and I bars ceen the same animals quiet and peaceful again In a few hours. We have much of ths animal la us still, in spit of our civilizing processes. It Is not unnatural that our peo ple should be more sanguinary Immediately stter a battle than they were before, but It is only a question of time when reflection will restore the conditions which existed before ibis Nation became engaged In tho war with Spain. "When men are excited they talk about what they can do; when they are calm they talk about what they ought to do.

If the President rightly interpreted tbs feelings of the people when they were intoxicated by a military triumph, shall appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober. Th forcible annexation of the Philippine Islands would violate a principle of American public law deeply imbedded in th American mind that until a year ago no public man would hav suggested it. It I difficult to over estimate th Influence which such a change in our national policy would prod nee on ths character of our people Our opponents ask Is our Nation not great enough to do what England. Germany, and Holland are doing They inquire: 'Can we not govern colonies as wall as they TV Whether we can govern col onies as wsll -as other countries can Is not material; tha real question Is whether ws can. In Ons hemisphere, develop ths theory that governments derive their Just power from th consent of th governed, and at th sama time Inaugurate, support, and defend In ths other hemisphere a government which derives its authority- entirely' from superior lore.

To defend forcible annexation on ths ground that we ar carrying out a liglous duty ts worse than absurd. Ths Bible teaches us that It Is more blessed to give than to receive, while the colonial policy is based upon ths doctrine thst It 1 more bleoeed to tak than to leave. I ass afraid that tb Im perlallsts hav.

confused their beatitudes. I once beard of a man who mixed up th parable of th Good Samaritan with th parable of ths Sower, and. la attempting to repeat ths former, said: 'A maa went from Jerusalem to Jericho, and as went he fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked entered the Spanish war as peacemak ers. Imperialists hav an indistinct recol lection that a blessing has been promised to th peacemakers, and also to ths meek, but their desire for more territory ha perverted their memrie so that, as tbsy recall tho former. It reads: 'Blessed are th peace makers, for ther shall Inherit th Annexation cannot be defended upon the ground that wo shall find a pecuniary profit in tbs policy.

There la an old saying that It Is not profitable to buy a lawsuit. Our Natloa mar learn by experlencs that ta not wiso to purchase ths right to conquer a people.

But whether, measured by dol lars and cents, the conquest of tb Philippines would prov profitable or expensive, it will certainly prov embarrassing to those who still hold to th doctrln which underlies a republic Military rule ts antagonistic ts or theory of government. Tho arguments which ar used to defend it In tbs Philippines may be used to excuse it tn th United States.

Under military rule everything must be left to th discretion of th military Governor, and this can only be Justified upon the theory that ths Governor knows mors than ths peo ple whom governs. Is better acquainted with their needs than they are themselves; la entirely la sympathy with them, and Is thoroughly honest and unselfish in his desire to do them goodw Such a combination of wisdom. Integrity, and love Is difficult to find, and tb Republican party will enter upon a bard task when It starts out to select suitable military Governors for our remote possessions. Even If the party bas absolute confidence in Its great political manager. Senator Haana, It must be remembered thath peopi of Ohio av vompeura aim to serve uiem in tne United States Senate, and that Inferior men must intrusted with tho distribution of justice and benevolence among the Nation's dark-skinned subjects In the Pacific.
