Plain Truths.

Our faithful correspondent VoX brcathes
tho true spirit Of sound patriotic democracy
Into his letter this week and we commend
what he says to those iutolerant aud extreme
men who, during the recent campaign. were
90 industrious in their efforts to Widen the
breach between the people Of tho town and
the Farmers Of the country, and who would |
rob their fellow citizens Of the hnllowed
Americas right Of thinking for themselves
and endorsing such men and measures as
their Shelligenec and honest convictions
may deem better fitted for public positions
and more conducive TO the public good.
| wespcak fcelingly M ON this subject, for
probably no man in the County has been
more unresson.bly bcrated for entertaining
and expressing his honest convictions than
ourself. But it is truly gratifying to MS to
know that large majority of the most intel
lgent men in the county, il they do not full
ly agree with us in our opposition to certain
men aud certain measures, give US the bene-
fit Of q serious doubt NJ to the good expected
from either, and accord to us an honesty OF
purpose that would not permit of doubt
that we were actuatcd by amy other motive
than All earnest desire for the public good
We, however, uncquivocally state that we
have nothing to rccaIl--no apology to make.
| We abused no one, and would pursue the
same course again under the same crcum-
stances. We have never made any orp"si-
ton to the Farmers Movement but con-
, scientiously opposed the methods adopted
~ tfGss fsIt 1H$sb Hs bc, shc and other leader:
: themselves into Office, by viIifying and tra-
!, ducing the characters Of those honorable and
r honest mon who had honorably filled the
: official PORTIONS Of the State accusing them
o of perjury, corruption. extravaganza and
other high crimes.
We did not believe those charges, and Nc
i do not think that either Shell or Tillman
believed them, when they charged then
n i'm the Manifesto or uttered them on th'
~ hu.,iprs: and we could not do such gru>
nj violence to orr conviction of what is de
1t cent, lust and truth, rs TO give our sane
ton TO those charge, by endorsing the mel
1t who mulc them.
y In the conJuction Of tho TINES, We hav
always tried 10 hc true TO the best interest
It of all classes Of The people Of Union. and i
the interest Of any class has received NOR

Evidence In the Barriere Case Nearly
Concluded.

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
Butte, May 6.-La Croix occupied the
STAN in the Barriere case this morning.
He aid that Lavecque worked i'm South
Butte the morning of the shooting and
told the witness that he was i'm the cabin
buttoning up the little girls shoes when
he heard the shooting. He also told the
witness that there was nothing tn convict
Barriere in The Ease.
Fred Larus said he had a conversation
with Lavccque about the shooting. He
asked Lavecque how the shooting oc-
CURED and Lavecque said he was in the
front room, making kindling for the fire,
when he heard the couple quarreling.
He Immediately afterward heard "a shot.
He told the witness he had seen nothing
of the shooting. This conversation oc-
Cured the same morning as the shooting.
Lavecque was in the saloon of the witness
when the latter got up.
Mrs. Mary Criser. who kept a dance
hall i'm East Park street. said that she
knew Levecque. She saw him last sun
day night at II 80 or II o'clock. He he
gan talking To the witness abou the Bar
riere case. The court overrulcd a ques-
ton asked the witness as to whether
Lavccque told her he had testified falsely
in the Barriere case and had done so be-
cause he could get some money To take
him a To anada.
Sam Cadicux said he had known La
vecquc about n year and talked with him
about the Barricre case. He denied that
he had offered Lavecqnc $40 ut the Mon
a Central depot not to testify in the
Barriere case, nor did he ever offer mr.
promise him anything. He lad heard
Mrs. Barriere threaten TO kill her hus-
band.
Other witnesses for the defense dragged

ing mainly directed against the credible
iy of Lavecque.
Ii is thought that this long case will lie

City Clerk Graves Turns Over the Keys and
Records tn Mr.. Gilligan.
BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May 6.-The e officers elected
by the city council last night entered
formally upon the discharge of their du-
ties to-day. City Clerk Gilligan filed a
bond of $1,000 with the city treasurer
which was approved and accepted, after
which p. j. smiiingly introduced himself
to his predecessor, s. ". Graves. Mr..
Graves at once ooh him in hand and be-
gan to scquaint him with his new duties.
All the records, papers, reports, ETC.,
were gone over n a thorough knowl-
edge of their contents impaired TO their
future keeper. Mr.. Gilligan remained
in the office the entire day and at O O'Clock
this evening Mr.. Graves and Assistant
turned the keys of the Office and combine
ton of the safe over To Mr.. Gilligan.
The last thing checked out was the
museum of curios taken from prisoners
arrested by the police. When Pete saw
the collection of knives, reyolvers,
slungshots, steel ~knucklcs and other
pleasant objects of equally murderous
appearance he almost tainted, but re-
gained his composure when told that the
duties of the Office did not require him to
make use of them. The outgoing and in
coming clerk then shook hands and the
formal induction was over.
BY the retirement OF MIR. Graves the
city loses a painstaking, efficient and
thoroughly reliable officer IN the IT.

busy TO answer: their numerous questions
and impart such knowledge on any sub
ject pertaining to his Office as they de-
sired and which lay within his power tn

the new incumbent and his well known
ability insure an administration of the af-
fairs of the Office marked by the same
care and success as that which character
lied that of the gentleman whom he sue
ceeds. His geniality and good nature
combined with his uniform courtesy will
no doubt win him hosts of new friends
among the patrons of the Office.

to Appear In Butte Next Week.
By the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May G. William A. Brady's
company will appear at the Lyceum
theater next Tuesday and Wednesday,
May 13 and IA, in Dion Boucicault's great
melodrama "After Dark" which has
been entirely remodeled and with new
scenery and properties makes n great pro-
duction. The New York Star speaks of
the melodrama in the following terms:
AFTER Dark" Boucicault's famous
melo-drama, opened an engagement at
the Peoples theater last evening, and To
say that il scored an instantaneous "hit"
would be 70 family express IL. The the
alter was filled to overlooking. and all the
sensational features Of the production
were received with delight. The spec
tacular portion Of the performance was
exceedingly good and was a genuine
surprise Ia the audience. No one
had expected so much attention to
detail as was exhibited in a
scene last evening. The representation
was under the direction of William A.
Brady, who purchased "After Dark" from
Mr.. Boucicault some time ago, and who
has made several decided improvements
in the arrangement of scenes, dialogue,
etc. Mr.. Brady appeared in the leading
role. Old Tom, and though a young man,
assumed the character i'm look and bear
ing so well that even the late Harry Pier
sol who made this his great part, never
did better. Laura Biggar as Ehto, and
Lillian Lee as Rose, both dressed their
parts s~plendidly, and acted them to per-
lection. All through the evening
the gallery was waiting for Bobby
Gaylor and when he made his appearance
in the Concert hall in the fourth act, lac
was received with a perfect fusilade of
"hurrahs." He held the stage for 30 min.
utes and succeeded in keeping all parts OF
the house in a continual roar. The scenic
effects were superb.
