WHERE BUTTE STANDS.

Congressman Carter will hardly
recognize his bill for lIelena's public
building when congress gets through
with il. Adjusting his figures at the
start to his notion of the relative merit
of the rival sides of the main range.
Nr. Carter concluded to get S4OO.OOO
worth of federal patronage for Helena
and one-quarter of that amount for
Butte. But for the provincial spirit
that animated the congressman, the
right of the line for all proposed public
buildings i'm Montana would have been
given to Butte, and fair minded men
who may feel disposed to question this
assertion, can test il by the critical
study of the statement which was sub
mitted to n meeting held in Butte
city Saturday night. The facts there
furnished simply show the contrast
which Butte and Helena present when
Gun is taken of population. manu-
features. growth. resources and the de-
mands of the local postal service.
However, Mr.. Carter treated the two
cities on the basis mentioned. Helena
has friends Mt court in the shape of
senators who are interested i'm that
city's land syndicates. They doubtless
did their utmOs for the town. but the
process of retrenchment was vigorously

and the figures ON lielena's building

MACHINE MADE FUNERALS.

The use OF the AT fun

with good reason. \ few remarks by

that he was distrustful of the ability
of Others to conduct the services so
impressively and in general SO admira-
bly, as he. And even granting his SUI

iment. is certain to fall short of his eX-
pectatiOns. However faithfully his

fects ut a funeral. But on the other

But a more serious objection to con-

A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

The triumph of mind Over matter
goes OH apace. and Christian Science
seems to have succeeded in getting the
process down very n Formerly the
devotees to the new science confined
their efforts to removing the aches,
pains and disorders that human flesh is
heir to. Carrying their theory to its
limit, they have now discovered that
Christian Science is equally applicable
to the entire animal kingdom.
An interesting illustration of the
valuable discovery has been afforded
by "a case mt Eau Claire, Wis. n town
containing "a large number of scientists,
who hold regular and most enthusiastic
meetings. One of the faithful had u
sick horse on his hands. In the treat
ment of the animal the skill and learn
ing of the local veterinary surgeons had
been exhausted. They admitted they
could do nothing further. although, it
is true, they held out the hope that
with rest and proper diet the horse
would come out all right in time. The
owner of the horse reported the case mt
one of the sessions of h enlightened
and thereupOn a scientific prayer meet
ing was held for the sole benefit and
behoof of the patient. Next day the
equine seemed to he rather worse than
usual. in short, as the owner after
ward stated, he appeared to
be OF his last legs. In his extremity
the owner telegraphed to u learned pro
fessor of Christian Science i'm Chicago
giving u full account of h case and
the present alarming symptoms of the
Quadruped. The scientist wired back
that he was treating h horse to the
best of his ability and was thinking
hard. Within five hours from the re.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END

There is method i'm the loud words
with which republicans seek to divert
public attention from the sin that was
committed in the count of the tunne
precinct. there is method in the zeal
with which republican newspapers at
tempt to fix the eye of the people on
the rival senators i'm Washington.
There was method i'm the dishonest
phrases scattered through the address
of the republican state senators who
%untruthfully asserted n q the trouble
began with the attempt of the governor
to decide who We're entitled to seats in
the house,"
The trouble began with the attempt
of republicans tn tamper with the vote
cast at the tunnel precinct. 1t will
never end until n people have re-
corded their conviction on tia vote
and that count. Twice the democratic
sentiment regarding the action of the
silver Bow ~canvassing board has been
upheld i'm courts which the people
respect. The only answer of republi-
cans has come in abusive speech re-
garding these courts.
The STANDARD will keep steadily i'm

began at the lIOmestake tunnel All
the w%rangling over senatOrships, all

Regarding her claims. Butte pre-
sented q statement saturday night
which h can back mp. That state
ment embOdies facts of which every in
habitant Of Butte may be proud. 1t
ought to constitute q pretty solid title

ness of the situation is that political
parties i'm Montana have a habit of
putting office and influence in the
hands of men who forthwith fancy that
the scope of their usefulness i'm public

boundaries for the city of Helena. The
minds of these men Tx n constant ratio

ments that make any city n claimant

to-day.
In other words Butte must overcome
the provincial prejudice which thus far
has worked in Iielena's favOr: but
Butte can do that, If the enthusiastic
sentiment awakened last Saturday Is
kept alive. Washington ought to learn
what Butte claims. what she Is worth,
what she is bound to be. what she
needs and what she is entitled to. The
upshot of il all would then he that
Montana would make sure of "a gener

ions or modes of instruction seems possible,
but by far the larger part of them approve
the schedule and refer to 1t constantly as

best teachers have given the schedule the
most cordial reception and have adopted it

Altogether our schools are dong as well as
could be expected under existing circum-

them are pursuing systematically the course
of reading adopted by the directors Of the
State Teachers Reading Circle. The prac

questioned aud it is gratifying to note Il
