WHY 1T SHOULD GO TO BUTTE.

The Professional Politicians Would Soon
All Die.
Madison (Pony) Monitor: There is some
talk of Butte's entering the capital fight
this fall. but rs yet no steps have been
taken by tho citizens Of that oity to lead
the voters OF the state to believe that Butte
wants the capital. All the talk 90 far has
been made by the newspapers, aud that has
been more in the nature of burlssqus
than An endeavor to arouse the people to
an earnest consideration Of an important
question. The Butte papers are evidently
playing with the subject. II they were in
earnest they would never overlook the
strongest argument in favor of locating the
capital in the smoky city. and the only
argument that might induce the voters
OF Montana to cast their ballots
for that place. That is the
effect that such location would have upon
the professional politicians. No one will
pretend 10 believe that even the constitu-
ton of n Montana politician could long
Withstand the ravagss of Butts's climatic
conditions, and with the capital located
there the race would soon bsoome extinct.
The advantages that would aocrue TO the
state by such contamination cannot bo
computed in the present state Of mAths-
matical science. but 1t is - consummation
devotsdly to be wished" We merely ssg.

According to the Testimony OF Several Of
the Other Members.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the charges
of drunkenness Of members of the house
was resumed at the session this morning,
and many Witnesses testified that in their
opinion Representative Cobb (Ala.) was not
drunk when he delivered his argument in
tho Noyss- Rockwell election contest. Wit
nssses testified that Cobb WAS suffering
from exhaustion incident TO delivery, whom
in poor health, of long speech marked BY
many Interruptions and much badgsrinR.
Bynum testified that it was not an uncom-
mon practice for members to take bouillion,
beef tea. coffee and other stimulants ont of
a cup during long continued a1guments,
and from knowledge of Cobb's physical
condition they wee satisfied that the gen.
tleman could not spsnk continuously for
two hours without taking some stimulant.
Andrew Devius, one of the official sten-
ographers of the house, produced q manu-
script of the official report of Cobb's areu-
ment and testified that he saw nothing in
Cobb's conduct to justify the charges made.
1t Is likely that Simpson (Kan.) will file a
minority report in behalf of his fellow alli-
anoe member. Watson GA he being prao-
tioally assured that the majority will al least
make soms structures on Watson.

SO great that he has telegraphed to send no

parently undaunted, however, and it is .
rash and unwarranted conclusion that they
will flock at once to the mill. They admit
that some desertions have occurred, but
claim that in day or so some of those who
did 60 to the mill will reconsider their ac-
tion.
The Thirty-third street mill was fairly
started to-day, and tomorrow operations
will be resumed in the pudding depart

the non-union men. The firm claim to

twenty-seven at Homestead. This is de-

Billings Times As the citizens of Montana
will vote next November on the question of
a state capital We rise modestly to propose
for the consideration Of the people the city
of Billings for that honor.
Billings is geographically the center of a
tributary country rich in gold. silver, lead,
copper. iron. asphaltum and sulphur. There
is more good coal around Billings than the
United States could consume in 1000 years
This country embraces some of tho finest

in Pullmans, should they feel able to bear
the expense. We have direct railway CON-
munioation with the great coal metropolis
of Red Lodge. with u proposed extension to

The climate is the most salubrious in the
northwest; the elevation is just right for

For an inducement TO the citizens of
Montana to take a favorable view of Bill

board of trade TO make tho following offer:

"The Unbought Press" Asked to Speak
One Reason Why Butte Should Bs

Anaconda Standard: Operating in sev-
eral OF the cities OF this state is some sort
Of corporation which Processes its ability
to make fortune BY selling and buying
cities and individuals when the capital
question comes up for settlement.
You buy share In this concern for $40,
paying dollar down. The expectation is
that several thousand people will buy, and
the assumption Is that those who buy In
view of handsome profit, will vote for tho
city which the managers Of tho concern
select. BY and by. these managers will 90
to the cities that are candidates and say,
I'VE can deliver 10 many votes. moro or
less; what will you bid for them. you to pay
in money or real estate If your city wins?"
The expectation is that several cities will
bid high, in the belief that the plan will
secure some thousands of votes. II the
city wins with which the dioker il made
then the concern takes the property origi-
nally bargained for and makes big divi-
dend to shareholders
This is corrupt and corruptine scheme;
We earnestly hope that tho reputable bust
ness men of Montana will frown it down.
Wherever the Standard Ia read its earnest
protest will be constantly heard against
this attempt to job the capital Of the
state. 1t looks very much like an offer
to, deliver an important fraction Of the
states vote by process of bargain and sale;
il would take clever man to prove that
the whole process il not open bribery.
Solicitors who are out ON this business
quote with freedom the names of several
honorable business men in Butte who are said
to be in tho deal. We are not in position TO
say whether these representations are true;
We trust they are false; and we do not be-
lieve that we misinterpret popular senti-
msnt when We say that the at
tempt to trade a part OF the vote
in Montana for money consideration will
be sharply condemned by all good oitizens.
1t il represented that the capital question
in South Dakota was settled on this plan.
We don't doubt it; that's enough TO damn
it; the popular belief 10 that the fixing OF
the capital at Pierre was rotten job.
This thing has very unolssn look; il
seems disrsputable; it il not IN agency in
the capital fight that ought to meet pm blic
favor. We do net now undertake to say
that the concern in question has no legal
right 70 exist. but We believe it has no
moral right to operate. and, on general
principles, We assume that the wholesome
public sentiment of the state shares this
belief.

there is much suffering in the crowded

outing him severely in several places.
Much bad feeling is manifested and con-

Holman moved TO suipend the rulas and
pass joint resolution extending until Aug.

OF last year. Before the passage of tho
resolution there was spicy debate. Hol-
man made speech Of some length. declar-
ing that he had been acting in harmony
with the policy Of the house, that the gen.
tlsman from Illinois (Hopkins) objected to.
Hopkins was willing, said Holman, to stop
the whesls of legislation in order to compel
the house to give i've millions to corpora
tion in Chicago. Reed (Maine) replied.
He said Holman had offered An example OF
unexampled courage. With . democratic
majority Of moro than 14O. OF which he il .
faetional leader, the house had stopped tho
business Of the governments, and now Hol-
man was endeavorinR to charge this stop
page on somebody else. He (Holman) had
deliberately blocked the wheels Of business.

there was nothing against it but missr-
able technicality that some gentleman
thought the Worlds fair matter onght not

gentleman from Indiana had the courage to
stand before the house and country and
charge the result Of his own action
TO another member, to charge in 4 house of
LAO democratic majority, the stopping of
PUBLIC business by member of the minor
itv. He did not wonder that the gentle
man from Indiana had had long carries;
courage like that carried a man through
