A Contrast.
circles.

All honor to Speaker Crisp! In a re-
cent letter he writes that he has al
ways been a believer in and advocate
Of the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver; that he still favors the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by the
United States Independently at the
ratio of 16 TO l; and that he hopes
this will end the misrepresentation
that has appeared in various papers
relative to his position on the silver
question.
In marked contrast to Mr.. Crisps
frank and outspoken statement is the
statement of William c. Whitney, who
recently returned from Europe with a
glowing story about the spread of the
sentiment for international bimetal-
lism. He predicts that international
bimetallism will be an accomplished
fact within ten years. international
bimetallism" is a subterfuge to which
goldbug presidential candidates are re-
sorting in the hope that they may
make a successful straddle of the sill
yer question. 1t will not go. An
avowed enemy is worthy of respect
but the man who considers the United
States nothing more than a province
of England is not fit man for any
office in the gift Of the American peo-
pie. Mr.. Whitney will never gain sup
port from silver people by coming out
for international blmetallsm."
A New York paper remarks that
Speaker Crisps frank statement lends
him" The time has arrived in Amer
lea when 1t is no longer possible for
the state Of New York alone to end
the career of any man.

Shall Montana Be There?

II anything Is to be done toward rep
resenting the state Of Montana at the
Atlanta exposition a move in that di-
rection must be made very quickly
The exposition will open September is.
and the intervening time is very lin
tied FOR Montana to make a showing
that shall be at all creditable. The fan
exposition at Atlanta is one in which
almost every state and almost every
nation will participate. Many OF the
states have arranged to transfer To-
Atlanta all the exhibits they furnished
TO the Chicago worlds fair, together
with many additions. Work at the ex-
position grounds is progressing rapid
ly. The Fine Arts building is nearing
completion. and the Transportation.
Agriculture. Machinery. Government
and Forestry buildings are rapidly TAX
ing on the appearance of completed
structures. The Electricity building is
finished. Colorado will furnish as part
of it's exhibit a model OF a Colorado
gold mine, illustrating the process Of
extracting the precious ore from it's
native formation. other Western
states are taking great interest In this
exposition. but as yet Montana has
made no move.
Every year mutual interest draws
closer the bond of sympathy between
the West and the South. Leading men
and leading newspapers Of the South
have enlisted in the fight for the free
coinage of silver-the fight i'm which
the West is so deeply concerned. The
South must be united with the West
in order that the fight for free coinage
may be a winning fight. The presence
at Atlanta OF prominent men from the
far Western states will do much TO aid
in the growth Of the silver sentiment
in the South, besides which exhibits Of
the resources OF the Western states
will Of themselves richly repay the
trouble and the expense Of arranging
and transporting them.
IL is desirable that Montana be well
represented at the Atlanta exposition.
BY what means IL is 60 be represented

The Colorado Republicans.

The weak stand taken by the young
republicans of Colorado occasions
much rejoicing in the goldbug newspa-
pers. The Philadelphia Times COM
ments on the action of the Colorado
republican league in refusing to in
struct its delegates to the national
league convention at Cleveland to bolt
the convention unless it committed
itself unequivocally to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. and con-
cludes: with the Colorado republic
ans hedging on the silver question. it
looks as though the silver lunacy had
passed its high water mark"
The Times is in a measure right If
the Colorado republicans in the Den
yer convention fairly reflect the silver
sentiment of the West. then there is
no silver fight on at all. The West
will merely continue to be the tail to
the eastern kite.

Against Treating.

peculiar law passed by the Michi-
gan legislature, which has just ad-
Journed. is an anti-treating law. The
law makes II a misdemeanor for any
person to invite any other person TO
take a drink. The law is passed in the
interest of temperance, it being consld-
cred that most of the drunkenness is
caused by the habit of treating" so
prevalent in America.
IL is not likely that the Michigan
law will prove a success. If 1T is
wrong for a man to ask his neighbor to
drink it is wrong for him to drink
himself. II il is deemed necessary for
the state to take such action on the
drink question 1T should go farther
and abolish the drinking OF intoxicants
altogether. The state might as well
prohibit the giving of presents at
Christmas time because very many
people give more than they can af
ford to and run in debt in order that
some friend may not outdo them in
generosity.
law like the anti-treating law If
enforced would probably stop half the
drinking IN tne ordinary TOWN.. nut IL
is so easily circumvented that it is sure
to become ineffective at once. Such
law cannot be enforced unless it has
the moral support of the community.
If the moral sentiment OF a comrnU-.
it, is strong enough to enforce a law
of that kind 1t is doubtless strong
enough to prohibit liquor selling entire
ly. The custom of treating. as ordinar-
lily practiced in this country. is a silly
one. The anti-treating law is equally
silly. The custom is one which law
cannot change. on the contrary, law
would probably aggravate the evil. such
is the peculiar constitution of human
nature. The better sense of the COM
munity alone must be depended on to
do away with a senseless custom.

The Leading City.

1t was back in 1884 that the first di-
rectory Of the city Of Butte was pub
lished by r. L. Polk & company. The
ninth directory Of the city Of Butte
vas recently issued. A comparison OF
the two directories furnishes much
that is gratifying to the residents Of
Montana's most important city. The
directory Of 1884 contains 3O2 pages;
that Of 1895 contains 10 pages more.
but in the recent directory the names
are printed in two columns u a mage
instead Of one column. and smaller
type is used. The directory Of 1854
contains ASS names. which. allowing
two and one-half inhabitants to a
name. the usual method OF computa-
tion in Polks directories. gives Butte
ar estimated population al that time
OF 12,220. The directory Of the present
year contains 1913 names. which. on
the same basis Of calculation. gives
Butte a present population ~ 3s.l47.
which is more than threefold the popu-
lation Of a decade ago.
The directory Of 1854 credits Butte
with one railroad only. That Of 1893

A Question of Courtesy.

The people of Montana will be slow
TO credit the statement which appears
in the Salt Lake Tribune TO the effect
that the Y. NJ. c. A. football team or
Salt Lake was not courteously treated
by the Butte team in the game last
Thursday. OF course there are differ
ent kinds Of courtesy. In ordinary life
when the party Of the first part stands
the party OF the second part on his
head, rolls him over in the dirt and
sits on him, it may be truthfully
claimed that the party of the second
mart has not been treated with proper
courtesy. But 1t is different in foot
ball. According TO football etiquette ii
is a mark Of deep respect TO man to
throw him headlong to the ground. In
the lexicon Of football II has been sup
posed heretofore that there is no such
word as brutal" or "maltreated."
layman could scarcely imagine how IL
is within the range of possibility to
play football "courteously." Yet some
at least of the returning Salt Lake
players complained that while they
were royalty treated in Butte off the
field. they were treated TO gross dis
courtesies" on the field. II is indeed
true that Manager Stivers and the 9TH
er members of the Butte football team
neglected to provide pillows for the
Salt Lake players when they were
about TO compel them to recline. and
IL did seem somewhat selfish in the
Butte boys TO keep the football away
from their visitors during nearly the
whole OF the game. But as football is
played. the game did not seem any
more "discourteous" than all other
games of football.
Another and graver charge brought
against the Butte team by one of the
returning members of the Salt Lake
team. who was interviewed in the
Tribune. is that the Butte players
swore at the Salt Lake players. 1t is
alleged that the Butte players are
adopts in the art of profanity. From
this the conclusion is supposedly to be
deduced that the Salt Lake players,
belonging TO the Y. NJ. c. A. were not
lllt ildblN VI htdllhb Nndl
the oaths terrified them. and that they
therefore lost the game 1t seems that
in a game Of football the righteous
man has no advantage such as Mr..
Streator says he is TO have in the
great battle of Armageddon.
The Standard does not believe that
the Salt Lake players were treated
discourteously in Butte. either on or
of the football field. and no one who
watched the game heard any profanity
among the players or saw any unfair
ness. 1t is doubtful IL many of the
Salt Lake players can be found who
will complain Of anything Of the sort.
The Salt Lake players were to all APP
pearances gentlemen. as were the
Butte players, and most Of them will
testify that they were beaten not by
discourtesy or by profanity. but by bet
ter all-round playing in a game OF
skill and endurance.

The people of Utah will decide on
November whether the state consti-
tuition shall be adopted or not. For
forty years the people of this territory
have been clamoring for statehood and
now 1t seems to be within their grasp.
The new state government bids fair to
be an economical one. The governor
will only receive $1,000 per year
and most of the state officers will re-
ceive considerable less. The fee sys-
tenn is almost entirely abolished. Grand
juries are abolished except in special
cases. information takes the place of

That the Greater Standard" is ap-
preciated in Butte is evidenced by the
handsome addition yesterday TO the
Standards circulation in that city OF
1s2 names. No people are quicker to
appreciate enterprise than are the peo-
pie OF Butte. From the day il started
the Standard has been a favorite in
Montana's metropolis. and its popular
ity has steadily increased year by
year. Montana's foremost newspaper
is read in almost every home in Butte.

Butte with the Burlington In addition
seeking an entrance. The directory of
ten years ago credits Butte with three
banks. while the present directory cred
its 1t with six banks. The directory OF
1884 boasts of fourteen teachers en-
ployed in the schools of Butte; the di-
rectory of 1895 shows eighty-three
teachers employed in Buttes public
schools. According to the directory's
figures the productions of Butte's mines
have increased from s6.72O. 900 10 about
more than a quarter of a million dol
lars per month in that time.
These figures are not alone crafty
ing to the people of Butte. but to the
people of all Montana. The growth of
the state is marked by the growth of
Butte. its foremost city. and in the
growth and prosperity of Butte the
entire state takes pride. Yet the di-
Iectory figures do not begin to tell the
tale. The building up Of an attractive
residence quarter. the erection of splen-
did business blocks, the completion of
such creditable public buildings as the
city hall and the library. the introduc-
tion of electric street car lines. a fire
alarm system. a system of sewers and
electric lighting-these are evidences
OF municipal growth which do not ap-
pear in figures. but which speak more
plainly than any directory statistics
can speak.
According to the figures of the new
directory, Butte not only is the largest
city of Montana. but distances Spo-
kane. The latter city furnishes 10,sOo
names for its directory of 1895. Using
the same estimate of two and one-half
inhabitants TO the name. Spokane
would have a population Of $1,000. But
in Spokane they estimate three per-
sons to each name. which method of
computation gives that city a popula-
ton of 32,400. while Butte's population
10 estimated at nearly 10000. allowing
only two and one-half persons to each
name in the directory. Butte is the
leading city of the New Northwest.

They seemed full yard wide
Surveyed herself and cried, snow John,
Just see how well l ride"
She started out a merry lass,
And of her boomers vain,
But. sad TO say. It came to pass,
That she was drenched by rain.
And then when her boomers were thoroughly
wet
As thoroughly wet as ones bloomers can get
She motto d, alas -prithee, what do you
Think
The boomers she wore were beginning TO
shrink;
And smaller and smaller they grew at rate
That was simply appalling; and, sad TO relate,
Inside Of five minutes they seemed but to be
A pair of mems breeches that end at the knee;
But still they kept shrinking as homeward she
rode,
And all sorts of evil 1t seemed to forebode.
Till back az her door, the most startling OF
sights
She landed attlred in little bu. tights.
OF course you think that after this
She threw away the clothes,
And yet in that you are amss,
As ey'ry nelghbor knows.

For all the boys would hoot,
