LIE

Go away from home to learn the
news. The Bozeman AVdnt Courier
has the folio wing:
The Inter Mountain and MINER, OF Butte,
appear to be owned and controlled largely by
the same stockholders and business manage
meut. They occupy adjoining buildings, fol-
mutual convenience, we suppose; share equally
the cost of all associated press dispatches; sci
I'D the matter in one Office and transfer the type
set up to the other, and thus divide and share
equally the cost of composition. In other
words, the twain are one flesh" both drawing
their inspiration from the same goblet ano
| through the same straw. s. Inc
| scheme seems to work admirably 1or Tie
proprietoIs, and the unsuspecting patrons seem
well pleased to know that they are sustaining
two able newspapers which, apparently, are
antipodean in politics. and watching each osnel
as the proyerbisl cat watches the historical
mouse. Brother Lee Mantle is not staying IN
Butte for his health; neither are the editorial
changes made in the respective butee papers
always brought about by actual necesslbous
circumstances. There are more Things IN
heaven and earth than most mortals dream o.
We do not believe that any news
paper publisher would deliberately
publish a lie, and much less a lie
that affected the business OF n OF
his own craft. For that reaso we
are charitable enough to believe that
the editor of the Bozeman Av0nt
Cou,ier published the foregoing ar
ticle under a misrepresentation OF the
facts and upon what he believed rea-
sonably good authority.
We want to say that there is not
the least foundation in fact in all of
his assertions. The stockholders of
the MINER and the Inter Mountain
have nothing in common. Not a
single person holds stock in both.
They do not share the expense of the
dispatches, each having a separate
contract with the Associated Press.
Not a line of set type is transferred
between the two Offices. and they are
far from receiving their inspiration
from the same source. Lemonade is
good enough for us. With these
facts set aside, the rest of the
malicious article falls. W. use the
word malicious, because whence
soever it had its origin, the author
was actuated by malice against one
or both papers.
The two papers happen to DO
neighbefs, but that means nothing ; ;
the ordinary courtesies that should
prevail in all trades r observed be-
tween them, but they are entirely
independent of each other, share no
expense whatever, and do not med
die with each ether in management
nor shape their policy by precon-
certed understanding. This explana-
ton would not be necessary in Butte,
but people elsewhere might miscon-
strue silence into a plea of guilty.
So Well nail it it is a lie.

Considerable fun is now being
made about our miserable excuse for a
navy. The editors of the land are
inclined to berate the Government
for it's neglect in this direction. Yet,
do we not make a better showing in
our expenditures than any other
nation on earth :? For every dollar
spent upon our navy, We spend 500
upon our schools-upon the cause of
free education. England, on the
other hand spends nearly SIG.
upon her navy for every dollar spent
on education. Which course is the
more to be applauded?

from Washington, from the pen OF
the Hon. S. G. Neale, a prominent
Democratic politician of Virginia,
and a lawyer in Washington, where
he is a partner Of Col. John Han

These letters will in a plain, unvar-

pure Democratic doctrine. They will
always be found readable and in

The police of Butte should be
uniformed. 1t gives a force more
character and makes it more efficient
to be able to distinguish it from the
masses of the people. The very
presence of an officer often prevents
breaches of the peace and it enables
strangers to seek protection when
thew need it,.

The drama has made wonderful

The drama has made wonderful
strides in popular favor since the
days of SHAKESPEARE, when the actor
was the most despised of men. It is
only within the present generation
that the women Of the stage have by
the purity of their lives and their in
tellectual attainments gained their
way into the best society. Patti,
Modjeska, J~anauschek, Ristori, Jew
EFT, and our own Anderson stand as
high in public esteem as any ladies
in the world. Miss Anderson and
Miss Crabtree (Lotta) are conspicu-
Gus, examples of the products Of the
modern American stage. Both are Of
poor and humble p~arentage; both
dependent upon their own exertions
for success; surrounded by great
temptations, raised in an atmosphere
not conducive to the best Of morals,
they have not only kept pure and
virtuous, but have so lived that no
man has dared even to whisper a
word against their honor. No wo-
men in the land are held in higher
regard than Miss Anderson and
Lolita. Mr.. Gladstone did a grace
full act in banque.ing Miss Anderson.
It was an honor to the country, to
the actress but, above all, to her pro-
fession. 1t was a memorable event,
not because the repast was a sumptu-
Gus one, but when a man like MI.
Gladstone, the Premier of the proud
est Empire of the age, a sturdy man
of the people, a man against whose
life the faintest breath of suspicion
has never cast a shadow, whose re-
ligious instincts and conservative
training have made him the model
exemplar of integrity and rectitude,
pays a public woman such a compli-
ment, much is done to throw down the
barriers and to bury out of sight the
prejudices which for centuries have
existed against the stage. It was
a great social victory to Miss Ander-
son and did honor to the great states
man who has learned to glove our beau
tiful and gifted countrywoman as she
is loved by her own people. 1t was a
conquest for the stage.

Rjel and the half-breeds are still
