THE PROPOSED INQUIRY.

II is settled that a searching inquiry
is to be made into the condition of
Butte's police department. The inves-
~tigation lately undertaken by a com
mittee of the council brought to the
surface a mass of charges, i~nsinuatiOn
and suspicion, part of which has been
shown to have truth behind it while
another part leaves the situation

A FOOLISH PLAN.

One of the ridiculous bills with
which the Washington legislature
wastes its time provides that newspa-
per publishers shall add the authors
name to each article appearing in
print. 1t is of smallest possible account
to newspaper writers in Washington
whether the proposed signature is or
dered or not. Some of the worlds
leading newspapers have voluntarily
tried the plan. only to abandon il after
trial.
A newspaper that has any merit has
also a certain individuality with which
every observing patron becomes famil-
lar. Readers will tell YOU hat hey

to attach n writer's names to all CON

to the owner of the name, but it would

OF course, the motive with mem
