State is hostile to the free coinage OF silver
In the Los Angeles Convention a plank de

Platform Committee, but was expunged by
the Convention. Joseph McKenna, who
voted against the bill for free coinage, was

The Inter Mountain publishes a law
which received the vote OF every Republi.

and sneeringly refers to it as "a product
OF Democratic wisdom and sta tesmanship."
We are pleased to see our esteemed even

valuable reading. Rnt did it ever occur to
the Inter Mountain that if Democratic

meets with the unqualified and unanimous
approval OF the brains and leaders of the
Republican party that Democratic states.

The Young Mems Democratic Club was
organized last evening with a membership

Among other things the Missionary Con-
%vention, at Des Moines, tackled was the
question whether the heathens can be
saved without conversion. We have not
learned the decision arrived at but should
it be decided in the affirmative it will fol-
low that a great deal of money has been
wasted in foreign mission work, and not a
little In Montana. It is a s~talwart ques-
lion for the Church militant to wrestle with,
but the average worldling wi,lhope that an
affirmative decision may be reached. 1t
would greatly relieve the enormous strain
on the present plan of salvation and open
. door for the escape from hades for cam
paign prevaricators in general and
"cookers"o OF Missoulaepecials in particular.

A BASE FABRICATION.

The desperate condition in which the
Republican party of Montana finds itselI
placed at the present time is fully evidenced
IN the following which appeared in the
Inter Mountain of the Sth inst. We give it
as we find it, headline and all:
"Wholesale Arrests Threatened.
Special to the INTER MOUNTAIN,
MIssouLA, Oct. S.-A dispatch was re.
celved here to-day stating that one of
Sparks spies has given information which
Will lead to the arrest of nearly every pros
pector and miner in Montana who has cut
and used less than S-inch timber for
SHAFT Tagging" since Sparks issued his
specla, ruling and instructions on that sub.
!ect. This will seriously affect prospectors
IN the mining counties, and may include
the Governor OF the Territory as well as
nearly all prospectors in Butte and yicin-
ity."
Mr.. NJ. j. Haley, timber agent for the
United States Land Department of Idaho
and Montana-the only timber agent the
Department has in the Territories named
was in the city yesterday forenoon. His
attention being called to the above alleged
dispatch, he un~hesitatingly pronounced it
a We from beginning to end. He also stated
that no information of any character,
which could possibly be construed or con-
torted into the shadow of a basis for sucb
a dispatch, had been given to the Depart |
ment. He furthermore declared that |

Idaho, that he himself is the only author

partment in either Territory. Mr.. Haley
left the city yesterday and may be found
at the Merchants Hotel in Helena TODAY.
and will be in Butte again within the next
ten days or two weeks.
Mr.. Haley is al appointee of the last
administration. He is a very
pleasant, courteous gentleman, an efficient

The members of the Irish National
League met in regular session yesterday
afternoon at the Miners Union Hall. There
was more than usual interest taken in this
meeting on accoun OF hearing the report
from their representatives, Messrs. Pat
Conlon and D. J. Hennessy, who had been
delegates to the National League Conyen-
ton at Chicago. ThegentIemen made their
report to the Butte branch OF the League
yesterday which showed that the home
branch stood well at the National League.
Not only that the Butte League had con.
tributed more MONEY towards the Parlia-
mentary und than any other Territory
and stood well up with some of the older
states, all OF which was very gratifying to
members of the home branch.
President Fi~tzgerald's appeal in response
to MI. Parnells request Tint those tenants
who are threatened with eviction should
be assisted was considered.
1t was announced that Mr.. Michael Da.
witt would be here on or about October II
to deliver q lecture in aid OF the Irish
cause.
Vice President Courtney, in the absence

Messy, VIM. Scanlon and Joseph Morris to !
act in conjunction with other Irish socie- |
ties to receive the father of the great land
league, a man who has done more and suf-
Tered more for the cause OF Ireland than
any other 1rishman living. We bespeak
Mr.. Davitt such a reception as no other |
man ever received in Butte upon his arrival |
here on the 18th inst.

New Bridge.

The County Commissioners have about
completed arrangements to build a bridge
across the gulch on East Granite street.
The bridge will be thirty-five feet wide with
a foot path on each side Tor the accommo.
dalton of school children who have to
cross the bridge. They propose to have
the sides boarded up high enough SO there
will be no danger OF the little ones climbing
over the sides. The length OF the bridge
will be about eigh.J feet and it is proposed
to make d cut on the east eide and use the
dirt to fill in on the west side. No doubt
the people who have residences facing on
that street near Wyoming will be glad to
hear of the much needed improvements.

THE ANARCHISTS SENTENCE.

In passing sentence upon the Anarchist
last Saturday Judge Gary presented tn,
situation in this country to Socialists il
language which cannot be mistaken. IL
substance he gives them to understand
that they may write and speak what they
please but when they raise q murderouf
hand to force their opinions upon the peo
pie they place their lives at stake. These
Anarchists must hang. Their escape from
the gallows would be a bid for the inaugu.
ration OF a reign OF terrorby these law-defy.
ing, murderous importations from foreign
lands, and life and property would be made
footballs to be kicked out of the way when
the interests of Anarchists demanded it.
There may be those who retained a lin
gering spark of sympathy for these mis-
guided men, but their speeches delivered
in court last week must have uprooted it.
Rarely. If ever, have such utterances been
heard in a court OF justice. One can read
how some generations ago religious mar
tyrs and occasional fanatics deied the
authority and institutions of governments,
and proclaimed their adherence to princi-
pie and belief from the scaffold or while the
fire was consuming their flesh. The mar
tyrs and fanatics, wrong though some of
them may have been, commanded respect
by their ~unfinching devotion to principle
and integrity OF belief. Besides, the causes
Tor which they laid down their lives were
not vile; they were not criminal in their
nature, and as a matter of fact affected
most OF the parties themselves.
But there are no elements of heroism in
these Chicago Anarchists. Their devotion
10 madness, pure and simple. Their cause
is the vilest imaginable; it cannot be tol-
anywhere on earth where there is a /
pretense OF government; it SCOTS at all
authority, derides society, and denies both
community and individual rights. If their
were to prevail q mans personal
safety would depend upon his physical
ability to defend himself, while such a
thing as property rights would be unknown:
here could be no such thing as society.
lnlese men and women engaged in p~reying
the persons and possessions of each
could be called society ;, there could
'e no order; peace would be out of the
question, and life itself would Don be a
OF the past. Yet these men, in the
ace OF death, hold up their heads and
ejoice in their fendish deeds, and pro-
lain delight in their hellish doctrines.
Those who by their energy, by their
Enterprise and their industry have built up
tiles, who have erected and fostered insti-
utlons Of learning, who have devoted their
yes in proclaiming the principles OF civil
religious liberty and who have reared ,
helr children to obey and respect the laws ]
the country, will breathe easier since

'nslgns these perverters OF American IN !:
