The STANDARD Is pleased to notice
the spirit of journalistic courtesy which
prompts the inter Mountain practi-
cally to rank the Miner AZ the best
daily newspaper published in Butte.
This In frank recognition of u fact
which il not new to the public.
Butte's morning newspaper has been
severely scored in its time by writer's
for rival newspapers, but its recent
marked improvement i'm every depart
ment has not escaped the attention Of
h public. The fact that the daily cir
culatiOn of the Miner in Anaconda is
81 per cent. larger than that Of the Inter
Mountain Ia pretty substantial testi-
mOny to the relative estimate i'm which
h Butte dailies are held. 1t in refresh

A HIGH RATE.

Taxes are a veritable burden in this
part of IN world n the rate bears
heavily and %unevenly on more than one
resident of Dee Lodge county. The
chief trouble appears to be that the
burden is mot evenly distributed. This
il due to n fact that the assessment
il not made with the care that ought
to be exercised when the levy is made.
The valuation of property in this
county amounted to about S4,OOO,OOO
seven years ago. Then there was no
railroad across the county, the site of
Anaconda was q woodland waste, the
Granite mountains wealth was not
dreamed of, and a score of other i'm
mensely valuable properties in h
county had 10 place in the tax rolls. Al
these properties are now liberal con-
tributOrs to h public purse, yet the
total valuation of the county il to-
day less than Ss,OOO,OOO' The trouble
il that the work of assessing is not
thoroughly performed and thus the
whole range Of property within the
county il MOI compelled to bear its pro-
portion in axe Were his done, there
in mo doubt hat the valuation for Deer
Lodge would easily be placed above
SlO,OOO.OOO and thus the share Of each
contributor he lessened.
As 1t Ia. the rate for the taxpayer In
Anaconda il little short of three per
cent. OF course, this high percentage
has its offset i'm the improvements
which the year Ia witnessed and i'm
the fact that every foo of land in this
city il worth quite 30 per sent more to-
day than it was u year ago. At the
same time there il no reason why the
annual levy ought not to be NOR evenly
distributed. such distribution would
certainly add two or three millions to
In aggregate assessable property.

IT GOES SLOW.
The second day i'm he trial OF the
Homestake tunnel ~ was nearly as
good rs lost. the counsel for the return
ing board taking up much of h time
IN an effort tn ~disQualify h court. 1t
will be seen from the report of yester-
days proceedings that u good many
hours were spent by the defense i'm try
ing to cut the inquiry short by throw
ing the case out of Judge De Woifes
court.
As on the first day. So again yester-
day, the court gave the lawyers for the
defense very large latitude. Indeed n
story was atloat At noon that h Judge
had declined to hear the case and word
10 that effect was telegraphed to
anxious republicans I'm Anaconda
whose ardent admiration was kim
died, and who subsequently united
their voices In chorus OF
high-sounding praise of q court which
they have been cursing these ten days.
The admiration of these gentlemen for
Judge DeWolfe was hardly less pro-
nounced that the feeling of affection
in which he was held by the republican
newspaper i'm Butte, yesterday, at the
early hour Of the afternoon when its
editorial page had to go to press.
Before yesterday proceedings closed,
however. the tunnel precinct case got
close to the point where 1t could stand
on its own feet. The mandate WAS SD
amended AZ to remOve the last possible
objection tn . hearing before the pre-
aiding Judge, a lot Of technical rubbish
was brushed out OF the way and, il all
goes well, the case can De heard ON its
merits.
1t has been thought that the court
would not take c~Ognizance of the affida-
Wits presented before the returning board
and relating to h number of repub-
licans who voted at n tunnel pre-
einct. The answer made in behalf Of
the returning board make reference to
these famous afidavits, and it is there
fore to be hoped that all h testimony
on the subject may now find its way
Into court. IL will make weary the de-
tenders Of the plot which aims to throw
the precinct out.

FrOm the Washington Ioxt.
The Post while always ready tn do full
Justice to the excellent motives by which
prohibitionists are actuated, has held that
the h~iRh-license system furnishes the hest,
most practical and most sncccssful means
of controlling the liquor traffic and keep
ing Il within bounds. II believes that ex-
pericnce confirms this conclusion and
that all the known facts in the case point
i'm his direction. With mo hostility to pro-
hibition, therefore, IL IL i'm favor of high
license as she more likely, and cOnsc-
quently, the more excellent way.
