hitting that a heathful advance in bus
iness and population il In store for
Butte.
Mr.. Caplice, a gentleman whose
opinion is always entitled to respectful
consideration, does not rate the
value of the school lot much above
$4,000. Mr.. Curtis thinks the sale
would be a good n at the pend
ing bid. While Mr.. Curtis would
doubtless desire to be entirely just
toward the city, it may be that he I'M
consciously permits his judgment TO be
influenced by the surroundings Of the
case. II is reported that MIR. Curtis
is one of the syndicate of purchasers
who offer $4,000. As a rule, IL ap-
pears that, in the judgment of repre-
sentative business men, the property
i'm question Is worth at least $4,000
more than the offer lately submitted.
The STANDARD believes that a little
quiet discussion of this subject will
bring out good offers for the property
i'm question. We cannot resist the con-
clusion that there is money for the
school trustees in keeping the property.
The need for new school houses in
Butte is pressing, but 1t seems evident
that the work of providing these may
be safely undertaken without regard
to the splendid asset which the trustees
have i'm their block of property between
Park street and Broadway. However,
public interest now having been awak-
ened in the question, the outcome may
safely be left with the estimable gen
tlemen who are members of the school
board.

quaintance was limited. But as soon
as the old gentleman, his father, was
elected, these republicans set up a little
pedestal, put young Mr.. Harrison on
top of II and began their alteration;
and there Mr.. Harrison proposes to re-
main for four years or the administra-
ton. He doesn't propose to come
down, and hence his personal unpOpu-
larity with the leading republicans Of
the state, who are sick of him, and with
the leading republican newspapers,
outside of the one he owns, which often
give him a jab.
This era of republican rule is giving
us little men of little motives, with
little ambitions that are the promptings
OF little minds. Think Of this great
state with men of the calibre of Power
and Harrison w~rangling over the Of
fees. When n gives the subject even
a passing thought how infinitely little
these men appear.

THEIR LITTLE ouARRELS.

Federal patronage is not an affair of
great account in Montana. What little
there is of IL goes Ia the republicans.
IL is just enough to furnish opportun.
ity for petty quarreling. and the repub.
lican bosses turn their opportunity TO
account every time: they quarrel with
patriotic zeal.
There is the p~ostoiice IN Helena, for
instance. a republican might have
taken possession of il two months ago,
but the appointment has furnished &C.
casion for a pusillanimous fight involv-
ing all the party's big bosses. The APP
pointment is in which, under ordi-
nary circumstances, people outside of
Helena could have no possible interest.
IL was reported that j. b. Walker was
to be named for the postoflice, and the
selection of that gentleman appeared
to be satisfactory. But il seems that
Mr.. Walker has IN interest in the Hell.
n Herdid, and that fact was enough
TO arouse the opposition of Mr.. II. B.
Harrison, who has ownership interest
in the Helena Journal. This is all the
merit there is in the peeyish policy that
has delayed the appointment of Mr..
Walker. Outside of Helena the only
comment on the question that has at
tracted our attention came in the form
of republican newspaper utterances
friendly TO Mr.. Walker.
They say that the Montana delega.
ton at Washington has been pretty

blocking the plans of these gentlemen.

Kaiser Wilhelm has TO hobble about
his room on crutches. In the accident
that befell him several bones of the
ankle were broken. When the impetu-
Gus young emperor gets tired of his
clutches, he might impress into service
the veterans in this city who heard
Colonel Bradshaw's Decoration day ad-
dress, and who, according TO the story
printed in Butte, "hung on his impas-
stoned words" and then hung on his
impressive heels, carrying him from the
platform of the opera house to the Mon
TAM amid the uproarious cheers of the
multitude. The STANDARD has never
been able to find out who these enthu-
siastic common carriers were, but if
the emperor of Germany has need of
of them to pack him about the palace,
we suppose they can be discovered.
Colonel Bradshaw might be able to
pick them out.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

suppose that the leading republican
newspaper of the Northwest should
leave the republican party at the be-
hest of the Butte Inter Mountain. IL
will do nothing of the sort, of course,
but just suppose that the Pioneer Press,
recognizing the authority of the Butte
paper TO control its movements, should
meekly withdraw. Then suppose the
republican newspapers throughout the
country were to take this action on the
part of the Pioneer Press as a prece-
dent and get out of the Inter Noun.

The republicans would then have no

and Tacoma, except the Butte Inter

land, il would lose its only organ of in

that the republican enemies of the rcpub-
lican party will have everything their own

that the scua will probably make no inn

Several Of the newspapers are repeating
the story of what happened i'm Spokane
Falls on Memorial day. A woman who
was resolved Ia see all that was going OH
i'm the hall where the services were held
insisted on standing up. There were
loud cries of ''sit down" but the persist
ent woman did not heed these. Finally
there was considerable confusion and the
obdurate female argued the case with
those whose view she obstructed. The
address was seriously interrupted, but the
woman kept the fioor to the end. This
was rather singular, yet, after all, it was
not more remarkable than the printed
story that tells how, in this city. Colonel
Bradshaw's hearers shook the opera
house with their applause and then totcd
the orator out of the building on their
shoulders. That's "A really good story

confirmation of the story from Colonel

NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT

The STANDARDS evening contempt

nothing very remarkable about il, as
one may easily conclude by reading an
other paragraph of the Inter Mountain
which says that "the STANDARD exists
OH the patronage of Butte"
That is not the exact truth, although
the STANDARDS success in Butte has
been SO phenomenal and so entirely
without precedent that the Inter
Wount0in'S slight mistake Is pardon
able. IL is n fact that the STANDARD
has more readers by hundreds in Butte
