The Action of the County En-
ccutiyc Committee.

In another column we publish the
call of the County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee for precinct meetings
and County Convention to be held
on the 18th and 18th of May rcpec-
lively. The language of the call
makes IT applicable to only such Dem
oeratlc voters as supported the rcgu-
lar Democratic nominees at the last
election, and who will vote for the
regular Democratic nominees at the
coming election. All who voted for
any of the independent candidates for
Representative last fall are excluded
from participation. This specifica-
ton will meet the hearty approval of
all true Democrats, and its justice
will be recognized by all fair minded
men. 1t will remove the many har-
angIes, often heard at the precinct
meetings, as to who is entitled to par
ticipate therein. 1t prcscribes a fix
tu StdHudlu WHICH, HO OHG van HOItsJ-
ly mistake. Every one knows wheth-
er or not he voted for the nominees ON
the Democratic ticket at the last cleo
ton. If not the call of the Execu-
tive Committee does not include him.
No one can leave the ranks of the
party at the time of the contest and
Immediately afterward expect the
same privileges which are the reward
OF consistency and fidelity.
The looseness of party lines in this
State has compelled several county
organizations to make past conduct as
as well future Intentions the badge by
which persons are granted admission
into party councils. Work as we'll as
words are to constitute guarantee
for the promises made at the time of
conventions, but too often violated
without regard to truth and honor.
The Executive Committee of this
county has now adopted this course
and we may look for il firmer union
and greater harmony within our par
ty. No one can complain if this ac-
ton excludes him from the coming
beat meetings-the exclusion is Il con-
sequence of his own conduct for
which he cannot blame any one but
himself. We concede the right to ev
cry man to vote as he pleases, to act
as his Judgment and conscience die
tate, but whenever these lead him out
of party lines, he can be readmitted
only upon such terms and conditions
as the party may direct.

AFFAIR.

The Pawn Shop of Goldberg on East Park
Street BurglarIzed and the Proprietor
Badly Used Up.
About 4 o'clock Wednesday morning MI.
Goldberg, the proprietor Of the pawn shop
on East Park street, who sleeps in the rear
portion OF the building, was awakened by
hca:iog a noise in the front portion OF the
place. He Immediately jumped out Of bed,
gave an alarm, and WAS at once, according
to his statement, confronted by q robber
armed with a knife. A struggle ensued
during which Mr.. Goldberg received two
cuts in the face and IN ugly cut in the palm
OF the hand, caused by grasping the blade
OF the knife. The cutlery OF the assailed
had attracted the attention of some pass
ers-by and they at once entered
the front door while the assassin
escaped through the rear entrance.
Mr.. Goldberg through excitement had
tainted, and he was at once taken to the
rear room OF McGovern & Kings. where he
was soon attended by DR.. Bishop, who
had been summoned. The wounds were
found to be not serious, although a little
stronger pressure on the blade might have
made either OF those in face very danger
Gus, if not fatal. An examination of the
premises showed that quite a number OF
articles had been stolen, involving an al.
legged amount OF $1,000. 1t was at first
that theory was exploded, and yesterday q
white man, name unknown, was arrested
on suspicion. He was trying to pawn a re-
volver which, it is thought, was stolen from
the pawn shop. Further developments are
eXpeCted.

A Sanitary Proposition.

Several months 6 the City Council
permission to MI. Sharp, OF Win
nepeg, to establish and use in this city an
oderless excavating machine for the pur-
pose of cleaning out cesspools. Yesterday
DR.. Hough the health officer received a let
ter from the gentleman. stating that he had
been delayed in the manufacture of the ap-
paratus, but that he would arrive with it
early in March. The advent of the machine
will be a God send in the present sanitary
condition of Butte and the health officer
thinks it would be a wise provision for the
council to enact an ordinance requiring
that all cesspools shall be cleaned as soon
as the work can be accomplished under the
new system.

The escape OF Martin, the murderer Of
Reardon at Anaconda on Friday last, from
arrest 80 far argues reprehensible sympa-
thy on the part of some persons in aiding
in his concealment. It seems incredible
that any one would aid a criminal guilty Of
such a dastardly crime in evading the pun
ishment that is his due, but it is said that
he is not without sympathizers, who,
knowing his passionate nature, can find OK
cuse for him as a man goaded beyond en-
durance by %pecuniary losses OF the same
kind as that for which he approached Rear
don, and provoked to the unprecedented
commission OF the bloody deed by Rear
don's tone OF reply. About the latter moth.
ing can be definitely known. The plain fact
stands out that the murder was one Of the
most vindictive and inexcusable that has
been committed OF late, and no effort
should be spared to pursue and overtake
him. Those who have assisted in his es-
cape, for he could hardly have avoided ar
rest unaided, are equally reprehensible with
the criminal.

A SAMPLE Of the iniquity the protection
lists would unscrupulously subject the peo-
pie to is recently shown in the matter OF
tin plates. They ought to be on the free
list as they are not manufactured in this
country and are an absolute necessary in
the numerous canning industries. But a
number OF persons in Pennsylvania object
to them being put on the free list and want
the duty doubled to enable them to erect
an establishment for their manufacture,
with the necessary result of increasing the
cost of tin cans to every n in tho canning
business. The Portland Oregonian in COM
menting on the proposed iniquity says:
''The proposition to increase the duty, so
as to enhance the price for the benefit OF a
few persons who want to start a manufac-
turing establishment, is monstrous. But
it shows into what abuses the doctrine OF
protection will rum" This from q Repub-
lican paper is significant.

The Birthday Fire.

Wednesday night, about II o'clock,
while the festivities at the Fireman's ball
were at fever heat, an alarm Of fire was
sounded. There was something Of a rush,
but any panic was prevented by the cool.
ness of a number Of the members OF the
department. The fire was the barn of
John Noyes, situated in the rear of his res
idence. 1t contained at the time a lot Of
hay, and a cow. The animal was rescued,
but the hay was burned and the building
partially destroyed. Both the Butte de.
partments responded, and were assisted by
twenty.six members of the Anaconda COM
pany who did efficient service. The loss
will be probably 5000, fully insured. The
residence of Mr.. Gansberger, which is neal
the burned property, was slightly injured.

NEWS comes from London that Jay
Gould has formed a combine with the
Rothschilds to corne the production of all
the minerals and oil in the world wherever
found. A diamond trust is one of the first
to be formed. the limited number of fields
producing diamonds simplifying the scheme.
The wealth OF the Rothschilds, it is stated,
is back OF the copper trust, and gold and
silver trusts are said to be well under way.
A silver trust that will do as much for that
metal as has been done recently for copper
would be the making Of this Territory.
But as the principle OF d trust involves
the limitation Of production whenever the
m~anipulators of the trust want to corner
the market, it is hardly probable the great
inanciers named will be able to offer sufi-
Gent inducements to the producers OF silver
the world over to persuade them to enter
such a pool. The whole scheme is probably
the baseless fabric Of a dream on the part
OF some visionary London journalist.
