Tormented By His Friends.

II is to be hoped that before many
days have passed Mayor Thompson Of
Butte will be spared further torment
at the hands of his friends. and will
be left at liberty to develop his ideas
on municipal government. Mr.. Thomp-
con received a very handsome vote at
the late election 1t is impossible for
him to reward all who voted for him.
and doubtless many of his warmest
supporters have not asked and do not
wish reward of any official character.
But a host OF them do expect such re-
ward, either for themselves or for their
friends, and the new mayor has not
had a minute of rest since he was de-
ciared the victor at the polls.
That there are other duties devolving
upon the mayor and aldermen besides
filling the Offices is understood by most
of the people of Butte. 1t is pity that
some of the friends of the .administra-
ton will not realize this fact and give
the new administration time TO think
OF something besides the appointments

be confirmed, and that all the wire

IL is not anticipated that Mayor

him to get really to work. will intro

nicipal history is that the only change
of policy In succeeding administrations
rs the change In the officeholders. That
being the case, the quicker the Offices
are all filled the sooner will al
branches OF the city government gel
actively at work.
Just now the only department which
noticeably suffers from the delay which
Mayor Thompson's ofiice-seekins

Some Third.Term Talk.

The newspapers are giving space to
the talk of a third term for President
observation-disclosures Of gossip regard
ing It have been sent out by the WASH
ington correspondents.
There IL little that IL tangible In this
talk. Some of the writers say that the
movement had its origin In the cabinet
and that the recent letters or inter-
views given out by the president and
by some of the members OF his official
household are by way OF preface to
an aggressive campaign. Probably the
foundation for speculation OF this sort
is slender. yet the country Is willing to
believe that Mr.. Cleveland. because OF
his singular mental makeup. has no
doubt whatever as to his own personal
strength and worth and fitness: Mr..
Cleveland is 30 constituted as to start
out on the assumption that the coun-
try, In recognition of eminent worth.
would gladly bestow upon him what
dent Grant. There IL a sort Of feeling
throughout the country that the sec
ond Cleveland administration is i'm
mensely unpopular: you could not per-
suade the tenant In the white house to
believe anything OF the sort.
Nobody is out openly at work for this
third-term boom. yet 1t is said that
several people are out feeling the pulse
in New York and other centers. Many
people are quoted. but most Of the talk
is impersonal-it Is what a prominent
democrat" or "a well-known leader
said, except that Secretary Lannon'S
name is used in connection with the
assertion that the president does not
desire the nomination and will not per.
NIT his name 60 be used in connection
with Il under any circumstances. Many
of the democratic editors. II is said. are
wondering, In case of another Cleve.
land candidacy. what they will do with
the portions OF their files that de
nounced the third-term scheme in 1880

fore all else and win stay with their

who takes the trouble to turn to the

the address will see that this para
phrase does It no injustice. 1t is very

That isn't the way the other fellows
do. Recall what happened in Chicago

Forthwith some of the conspicuous

Kansas City. Mo-, May ia special
to the Times from Guthrie. o. T., says:
The publication of the presidents proc
lamation opening the Kickapoo Indian
country to settlement created great ex-
element in this section. Although
everybody was expecting the news. its
sudden announcement came as a sur
prise. To-day all is excitement in the
towns surrounding the New Eldorado.
and everything from horse to bicycle
is being got in readiness for the COM
ing race for farms. which bids fair to
equal the great rush to the Cherokee
strip. Next Thursday at noon $4,000
acres will be thrown open to settle
ment. Eighty three thousand acres
have been reserved for school land pur-
poses, but Governor Renfrew gave out
word to-day that he will Immediately
throw open the school lands. This fact
will help hundreds of people who will
fail to get in on the ground floor In
Thursdays race. Trains are already
bringing in hundreds of prospective
settlers, and 1t is estimated by Wednes-
day night $4,000 people will be lining
the borders of the Kickapoo country.

II Doesn't Saw Much.

Not to linger too long over the ac-
ton OF the recent conference at Salt
Lake, Il seems TO us that the delegates
might have put a good deal more efSl-
phasis into their address to the neople
of the United States without hurting
the cause. There may be question. in
deed, whether there was occasion for
any address. The delegates insisted
that their business was to operate ex-
clusively under Governor Richards
call and that their duty was solely to
consider ways and means for the dis
tribution of literature. That was the
Butte and other cities were excluded
from the conference.
That being the case. there is question
whether the members OF the confer
ence were commissioned to issue a
manifesto TO the whole United States
in the name of the people OF half a
dozen states in the Northwest. But
even II the handful of gentlemen at
Salt Lake were at liberty TO speak for
the people of this region. another con-
sideration remains. 1t is not the Stand
ards intention to be captious In crit
icism. yet we feel warranted in saying
that the address is not the style OF
announcement the Northwest desires
TO make to the people of the United
States. Our opinion is that a conven
ton of delegates representing the peo
pie of Montana would be much mors
emphatic in its declaration. 1t would
declare its intentions in Language
which the political leaders Throughout
the country would not fail to under
stand

CAN RAISE THE AMOUNT.
China Is In Debt, But It Is Said She Car
Pay Up.

Washington, May ia careful COM
pilation of the figure of the Chinese
national debt shows that at the pres
ent moment 1t aggregates f10.000.000.
sum insignificant in view of the great
resources of the nation. The first loan
was made in 1875. The rate OF interest
on loans vary considerably, probably
owing to the different character of the
security offered, but the highest figure
is 10 per cent, and 1t may be signifi-
cant that the last, made during the
tendency of the war last year. was
placed as low as per cent. Most of
these loans were paid to the Chinese in
silver, but in only two instances is 1t
stipulated that they shall be repaid In
the same metal. and the balance must
be refunded in gold. In view of this
small floating debt 1t is believed here
the Chinese will have no difficulty In
raising the entire amount of indemnity
to be paid to japan, at a low rate OF
interest, the Chinese taking silver and
paying the loan off in gold.
