BUTTE, Aug. 6.-To-day the city OF
Butte voted 10 bond itself for 10000 for
sewers and s3.O0O for q new city hall.
n a Of ten Of the people IN the city
probably did not realize that any election
wa being held. The judges realized IL,
however, especially those located at a
point where the wind storm could obtain
hull sweep. Before he afternoon was
over the judges looked as though they
had just arrived from a trip across the
Sahara.
The total registration was Sr3, about 6
per cent. Of the total vote of the city. OF
these $50 who registered, 332 got their
votes cast n counted, and these 32 had
the privilege Of deciding whether the city
should he bonded or not.
Ii would naturally he expected that
people intelligent enough to determine
whether Butte ought To he bonded or not
would he intelligent enough also 10 know
how To vote. Blu IL Is n fac that only
~ votes were counted out OF about $50
cast. More han % were thrown away by
the judges. because the voters had not
properly indicated how they desired to
vote.
In the secopd ward nine votes were re-
jectcd. In tlh Fifth there were two who
evidently meant 10 vote against the bond
ing hut did not do So. The votes were re-
jected. In nearly all cases the voters
whose votes were rejected had intended
evidently 10 vote against bonding. Usual
~ they tried TO vote against bonding by
scratching out the sentence that rea i'm
favor Of the bonds. II is evident that a
large proportion of the citizens will need
further instructions in the art of voting
the Australian system.

BUTTE. Aug. 5.-The Butchers union
has received from its committee a report
as TO the sentiments expressed by the boss
butchers. Ii was as follows:
+. Brown expressed himself as being
willing TO stand by union men and union
wages. He was somewhat In doubt Of be-
ing able 10 run his slaughter house on the

The committee states that its worst OBJ
position came from Williams OF the firm
Of Williams & Saville. who called them
all drunken loafers and buns without n
good butcher in the midst. That he also
further diRnified the committee by calling
them individually and collectively liars
and announcing that none OF them could
run his business for him.
Mr.. Broderick was another OF those who
would not give a preference to the union
meL. aud who thought the conference
resolution a silly thing. unworthy OF
notice. This sort of talk induced the
committee TO believe that he was hardl,
as cordial toward their cause as they
might have wished. Mr.. Bergman also
TOOK an independent stand and would not

BY the standard's Special Wire.
BUTTE, Aug. S.-The story In this morIl-
ing's STANDARD regarding the religious
imposser who was exposed In Helena yes
terhay, excited more than usual interest
here, from the fact that the same imposter
was In Butte lately. From all accounts,
however, IL seems likely that the rogue
found Butte unfruitful as n field for ~
ligious imposition, and hied himself 10
Helena.
The imposter represented himself In
Butte rs DR.. Jacobs and said he was for
merly q rabbi In Joppa, Palestine and WA
about three weeks ago that he appeared In
Butte and he introduced himself TO Rev.
Galen Wood, pastor of the Christian church
OF this city. DIR. Jacobs seemed laboring
under conviction and had s~everalearnest
conversations with Rev. Mr.. Wood, which
tised. Blu for some reason, DIR. Jacobs
desired that II take place In Deer Lodge
at the church OF DIR. Streeter.
Accordingly u week ago last Sunday
Rev. Mr.. Wood baptized the supposed
rabbi. The next day, Rev. Mr.. Wood
appeared nj the STANDARDS Butte Office
and requested the suppression of any
news which might come TO this office la
regard to the conversion Of the Jewish
rabbi. Particulars were requested Of MIR.
Wood and he said: "This dew Is not
afraid of the world at all or of what his
Jewish friends may say. But he n u
wife and n great deal of property in Ger
many. IL IL il learned that he has be-
come an apostate, he will lose his wife
and property. Forsaking the Jewish reliR-
ligion mounts TO divorce. But DIR. Jacobs
thinks that II he a once get his wife out
here. he can convert her also. He doesn't
care for his property but wants his wife,"
This evening a STANDARD reporter
called at the house of Mr.. Wood To in
quire as 10 the further history of DIR. Ja-
cobs. Rev. Mr.. Wood and his family had
left this morning for the East. A menu
Der of his church was seen, however, and
in esponse 10 inquiries said:

was exposed in Helena IL the same one
who figured as DIR. Jabobs i'm this city. lie

'osed reforms and that already matter

posed reforms and that already matter
of law relative to awnings There is like
wise some stubbornness manifest concern
ing the matter. 1t is, for instance, pleaded
in fsvor of the post-awnings that families
living on second floors, front, will not rent
the premises unless they can have the
awnings upon which to sit in the open all.
The response to that is that a six-foot
balcony is ample for the purposes of out
door siestas. 1t is not necessary that
there should be sixteen-foot promenade
on the outside of each lot on the second
floor level. 1t is also the fact that these
sixteen-foot platforms are utilized more
largely for fower-gardens wood houses,
store-rooms, shops and storage-lofts than
for promenades. Now. it was never con-
templated that the title TO piece of prop
erty should carry with it the right to rent
out sixteen feet additional OF the property
of the general public. The streets, eighty
feet wide from line of lot to line of lot, are
the property Of the people in their charac-
ter as a municipality. 1t is not the right
of any owner to rent out platforms over
any portion of such property. When
owners say that tenants thIeaten to move
if they are deprived of the use of the sheds
over the walks, they practically say that
they must be permitted to rent out such
sheds, or give up their property. 1t is
that in plain English and nothing less. If
this city is to ever get away from its pres
ent unhandsome appearance upon business
streets it must abandon the post awnings
If it expects that capital will erect hand
some buildings to be hidden from view by
lines of sheds, delusion is indulged in.
The awning movement is not crusade
against anyone, nor is it intended TO other
wise operate than to the benefit of every
property -owner. 1t is not mere conjecture
not fanciful-but the result of the expe-
rience of others IN cities the senior of this
by centuries

CENTRAL AMERICA.

The Central American difficulty now be-
comes understandable. San Salvador
showed no haste to enter the Federal
Union; local revolution or conspiracy
resulted in the defeat of the President,
possibly by crime, and General OF the
army assumed the reins of government.
Thereupon Guatemala announced, that the
integrity Of the Salvadorian Government
was at stake, and that it was the duty of
a sister State to defend and preserve it.
To do this Guatemala marched monde.
script army to the frontier, and issued a
declaration affirming that Costa Rica and
Honduras had allied themselves with her,
and that 1t was the purpose to bring Sal
vador into the Union, in accordance with
the wishes of her people, that usurper
had suppressed. Mexico on her side
posted troops on her frontier for the an
nounced purpose of preserving the auto
nomy of Salvador, saying that if Salvador
wishes to enter the Union, she, Mexico,
would not interfere but that she would
not permit a sister State to be coerced.
That seems to be the true situation of af-
fairs. The Safvadoriaps claim that the
real purpose of Guatemala is to make con-
quest of their country. The Salvadorians
report battles fought with the Guatemal-
ans, and victories in each case But the
Guatemalan advices deny the story fatty,
and say only one battle has been fought,
and that Guatemala triumphed. When
both stories pretend to be official and SO
fatty contradict each other, it is impossible
to settle upon the truth concerning the
real outcome of the first shock OF arms
So far as American sympathies go out,
they ought to be favorable now to Saliva
dor, upon the strength of the apparently
authentic statements at hand to this date
as to the real issues. The Central Ameri-
can Union should be accomplished, but
there can be no true union that is brought
about by coercion of an Independent State
that has never been 8 member of the
federation.

VOICES FOR PEACE.

The sentiment of the thinking men of
political life throughout the world is
turning more and more to the conserva-
tion of peace through the avenue of arbi-
tration. At the Peace Congress in London
the other day, composed of some of the
best thinkers of the age, the following res
olution was adopted
Resolved, That as means of promoting peace
ana good Will between nations. the members of
this Conference urge the conclusion OF trea les
OF arbitration by which, without Interference
with their Independence or autonomy they
would engage to submit TO arbitration the settle
meng of all differences which might arise be.
tween them; but where the conclusion of treat
les OF arbitration may for the present be found
difficult of realization the Conference strenu-
ously urges the settlement of disputes by arbi-
tration or mediation.
This Peace Conference was no ordinary
gathering of men. 1t was brainy affair.
promoted by sincere and philanthropic
men. The same spirit that animates such
men as Sir Lionel Playfair, the Bishop of
Durham, DIR. Barth, Shaw Lefevre, David
Dudley Field, Sir John Swinburne and
others OF that order, actuated the Pan
American Congress when it declared with
unanimity that the highest Office of states
manship is to prevent war rather than
carry it on; and in the accompanying de-
claration that the States of the three
Americas should submit all issues arising
between them to arbitration Sir Lionel
Playfair said well that there is more
reason why nations should settle their dis
putes before properly constituted tribun-
ais. than that men should abandon the old
method of personal encounter for the de-
termination of issues.

CONFUSION OF STATEMENT.

The State Chronicle is daily published
at Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina
In its issue of July 10th it gives emphatic
evidence of its Democratic faith. In one
column it commends its party by the dec
laration that under Democratic rule the
legislation of the nation has always re-
suited in the enactment of just and equal
laws, and the prosperity of the people.
Yet in another column this representative
paper pays warm tribute to the memory
of General Fremont, and closes its review
of his life's service by saying that he lived
long enough to see the South, accept the
doctrine, and believe in it, of the wisdom
of the abolition of slavery, and of which
doctrine he was one of the first great
leaders as a Presidential nominee.
Such declaration by Democratic pa
per in the heart of the South is significant
of the revolution of public sentiment in
the one-time slave States. Here we have
journal that must have occupied posi-
tion antagonistic to the principles of hu-
man freedom of which Fremont was one
of the proudest exponents, admitting
the error of the cause that demanded the
extension of slave territory, and frankly
SAYING that the South to-day, not only
accepts the doctrines Fremont advocated,
but believes in them. Certainly the
Chronicle is correct in its expression, it cor
responds with the spirit of the age and the
observation of all calm men who have
mingled much in recent years with our
brethren of the South.
