MIR. HILL At BUTTE

In Butte on Saturday, President Hill
made short talk to the solid men of the
Silver Bow club to whom he had been
introduced by Mayor Hamilton and Mr.
Clark. Mr.. Hill said that he had made
the trip at the instance Of Colonel Broad,
water and saw signs of progress at each
visit to the Silver City. Then Mr.. Fill
spoke in these tsrAs of the benefits in
store for Butte:
among other things furnish you with
something to melt what is slowed away
in these mountains. And we will be of
benefit to you in other ways 1t used to
cost $17 or $18 ton to ship your product
and we hope to make you better off in
this respect. Every railroad, Of course,
must make money to pay its expenses, or
else run in debt for them, but we expect
to give you satisfaction in both charges
and service and at the same time make
enough to Justify us. What you want,
as take it, is such assistance as will en-
you to use all your ores even if not high
grade, and not be compelled to take out
only the richest. We hope to do you
good in that respect 1t is great pleas
ure to meet you here today-to meet the
men who first to pitch their tents on these
mountains and carved their way to sue
cess and built up the country. 1t is only
about ten years since the splendid devei-
epments shown today were first inaugura-
ted, and Butte is now producing NOR
minerals, outside of iron, than any Eu
ropean nation. The short time that has
brought about this admirable result is A
sufficient guarantee of the future, Your
long distance from the ocean and the
market where your product is consumed
makes the matter of cheaper transporta-
ton OF the utmost Importance to you.
In this regard we will stand shoulder to
shoulder with you and we look forwerd
to pleasant relations with you. We who
are here today will pass away, but these
mines and railroad will remain and [
hope the associations between them will
always be as pleasant as they are at this
time.
From these remarks it may be inferred
that MIR. Hill understands the primary
need of Butte and all other mining
camps-that need is cheap transportation
Tor the raw material and the product, In
camps where low grade ores prevail, the
need is greatest. 1t is lack of cheap tran
sportation which keeps undeveloped rich
mines in Mexico, Peru and Chilli as we'll
as in our country. The development of
the Butte camps has been retarded on
that account, but henceforth it will 20 for
ward with rapid strides.

A. E. Rogers, the popular clerk and re-
corder Of Choteau county, had high
compliment paid him by the republican
convention which met at Benton We'd
nesday. Mr.. Rogers is democrat, but he
has made such good record that the re-
publicans could find no one to take the
race against him, so they indorsed his
nomination, and his name goes on both
tickets. This is compliment not often
bestowed when party spirit is running
high. 1t is the highest proof that Mr..
Rogers has made popular and efficient
public officer.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Professor Logan told some home truths
to the rublic last evening in the excellent
practical address which he made on edu-
cation. He laid particular stress on the
duties which the public owe the teachers.
He said with good reason that parents
should take close personal interest in
the schools, and should in effect regard
the teacher as friend to whom their chill
dren's welfare was entrusted in large de
gree. He disapproved of the disposition
to regard the teacher simply as public
officer bound to fulfill certain routine du-
ties withous any further sense Of respon-
sibility.
Mr.. Logan also made good point when
speaking generally, he dwelt on the i'm
portance of good teachers and suggested
that the time would come when diplomas
would be required from teachers just as
the law exacts them from lawyers and
physicians before they undertake to prac-
tice their professions. He condemned
very justly the practice which is common
with school boards, Of appointing teach
ers heedlessly without regard to the quail
ificatlons which their position demands.
He would have the school boards regard
their position as public trust involving
the gravest responsibility.
The plea which Mr.. Logan made for
what might be called an educational re-
vival should meet with hearty response
here and throughout the territory. We
must not let material or political matters
divert our attention from the public
the race for honorable renown we must
let our watchword be educate! educate

Dan Mckay was silent and interested

Dan Mckay was silent and interested
observer at the republican convention
yesterday. His seat was on the outside
of the railing, and he had no voice in
guiding the destines Of the party, al
though he has always been valiant
worker in the ranks at this precinct.
While the prearranged programme was
being carried out, Mr.. Mckay said moth
ing, but he did some mighty strong
thinking, and between now and the 9th
of November will give his political
friends (Oa lesson or two in politics.
He will show them that if he can not
lead at this primary, or the convention,
he can strike some sledge-hammer blows
at the polls.

In Minnesota the state board has very
wisely decided to make no change in the
established grades of grain. In this
course they are sustained by the opinion
of Mr.. Burdick who is practical farmer
and has charge Of the elevators at West
Superior, which the Manitoba road helped
to build for the accommodation Of Mime
snu DaAvta grain growers. Great
Falls will approve of this decision for No.
1 hard is the favorite grade here, and it
has been raised this year with much sue

In Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and
most western cities that have prospered,
the people stand up for their own town,
regardless of politict.s They have party
and faction fights, but they do not let
these divert them from acting unitedly
when local interests are concerned. Such,
we hope will be the case here. There is
nothing in the game Of politics which
should prevent people from acting heart
ely together for the public good.

Politics is not diverting Minnesotians

The Teachers Institute developed a
strong sentiment in favor of public edu-

If the political campaign were not in pro-

The sporting world now stands in awe,
awaiting the result of the closing games
for the league championship. 1t is bat
tie of giants and will be fought out vali-
antly to the close. New York was four
ahead of Chicago on Saturday, the record
being 70 to 66. The Detroit nine can
hardly expect to beat either score, as it
has only 80 victories on its banner.

Mr.. Hastie dealt with the latin Ian
guage problem, in practical, sensible
way In the address which he read last
evening. He did not take extreme
ground. He admitted the value of Latin
as a branch of knowledge, but he held
that good, sound, general education is
what most boys and girls require. That
should be the primary consideration in
arranging the course of study.

1t is fortunate thing for the demot

1t is fortunate thing for the democ-
racy of Cascade county that Relfe is the
recognized leader of the opposition and
especially fortunate that he has paper
of his own to "run" during the campaign.
His capacity for doing and saying the
wrong thing is unequalled, and the last
two issues of his paper TEEN with evil

benefit of Rolfe's leadership and organ

ty is likely to reach 500 votes.

The Butte Inter-Mountain says that
'''this will be clean campaign as far as
the delegateship is concerned, yet in the
same issue it observes: "The nomination
of Mr.. W. A. Clark for delegate to con
gress has given rise to good deal of talk
relative to the attitude of the railroad
companies in the coming election. The
gentleman's intimate personal relation
ship with Col. Broadwater and Mr.. Shell
by has created belief that the Manitoba
and Montana Central vote will be turned
over to him." The Inter Mountain should
cool its fevered brow and not give credit
to such idle fancies. No one "believes"
that Col. Broadwater or Mr.. Shelby will
try to trammel the freedom of railroad
employees who are at liberty to vote by
ballot in their respective precincts with
out the slightest restraint. We doubt if
either Col. Broadwater or Mr.. Shelby
knows or cares how the railroad men vote.
They enforce no political test on their en-
ployes, before or at election time. More
over VIM. A. Clark needs no undue in
fluence to ensure his election. He has
the popular vote which will be enough.
The New York Sun refers slight
ingly to the claims of Daketa and says
"The roll of states is we'll filled already.
New candidates for admission must pre-
sent stronger credentials than Dakota can
yet bring" Our solar contemporary is
out of its orbit. The roll of states must
remain incomplete while such territories
as Dakota exist. Instead of trying to de-
preciate the merits OF these territories the
Sun should exult that the bounds of free
dom can be made wider yet, by investing
them with state government and all the
privileges which that title implies. The
Sun should likewise admit that no terri
tory has ever been invested with state
hood which had the population, wealth
and general growth of Dakota and Mon
tana. Montana's credentials can stand
the strictest scrutiny. Dakota can speak
for herself with like confidence.

1t Is reasonably certain that citizens
of Audubon would be unwilling to eX-
change the fellowship Of the railroad
men and other advantages accruln2 by
reason of the Rock Island branch head
quarters hero for the benefits that might
come by a reversal of the train. But a
plan is suggested that will hold fast TO
that which we now have, and affords
opportunity for trade from the southern
part Of the county to come to Audubon.
The trains leaving Audubon at "a. N.
would arrive at Atlantic at and re-
turn so as to reach Audubon about
1890 or II a. m., remaining here until
2:25 p. m. This would make all con-
nections with the express trains, and
would give people from the southern
part of the county from three to four
hours to transact official business ut the
county seat or to trade. 1t is only JUS
tice to our merchants that they should
be given chance to compete with
other points, but under existing ar
rangements they are totally deprived of
this portion Of the trade that is natur'
ally tributary to Audubon. No disad-
vantage would come with the arrange
ment suggested except that the hours
of the railroad men would be extended,
but recognizing the benefit it would be
to the people in the southern portion of
the county and to Audubon, we believe
they would readily accede to the de-
mand, II 1t were made,

FREsnET.-1ho classic Blue Grass be-
came decidedly turbulent last Thursday
after getting full on rain water that
came down in torrents all day. The
freshet moved the Ice in the river, and
the current with the Ice, which was
over two feet thick, took out the bridge
just west of W. G.. Stuart's residence.
II WAS feared that the ice and the tim.
bers would take the railroad bridge
when it struck, but it only moved the
track about six inches from its position.
The evening train stopped on the ap.
proach to the bridge, and the engineer
inquired of Section Foreman Rose If he
believed ii to be safe, when the foreman
expressed his confidence by mounting
the engine, and said that he was willing
to risk IT, The train passed safely over,
and the bridge crew came up next day
and repaired the damage. Had tho
railroad bridge gone down before the
tide every county bridge In its course
would doubtless have been swept away.
