BUILDINGS OF BUTTE
The Actual Cost of Construction fol
1895 Is Not Less Than $3.50, GOO.
ALL MODERN STRUCTURES
II Is a Showing In Which Every
Property Holder In the City Will
Take Pride-The Number of
Permits Issued.

The annual statement of the build
ing operations in Butte during the year
1895 has been completed and the result
is one in which every owner of prop
erty in Butte and everyone interested
in Butte's future must feel gratified.
While the total cost of all building
improvements figures up $2s3, 292, this is
undoubtedly much below the actual to-
tai of cash paid for improvements in
Butte during the year. This comes
about from the fact that the builders
never overestimate the cost of the
buildings, and in nearly all cases the
cost is reported TO the building inspec-
tor much less than what IL actually is.
The fees to be paid the building inspec-
tor are graduated according TO the
probable cost of the building. The fee
is IS for a building to cost 5000. and
so cents additional for each 81. 900 over
5000. Consequently by underestimate
ing the building a little a few dollars
can be saved in fees.
AS a usual thing the cost of buildings
are underestimated from 10 to 20 per
cent, and II is oftener 25 per cent than
10 per cent. The Curtis, Largey ~
Hamilton block, for example, actually
| cost $4,000, yet the permit was only
| taken from the building Inspector Tor
| a $4,000 building. Thus the official fig
ure is nearly 20 per cent. under the
| actual cost. The II. l.. Frank building
actually cost $4,000. yet the permit was
| only taken for a $4,000 building. In
| this case the difference between the
actual figures and the figures in the Of
| flee of the building inspector is more
| than % per cent.
The average difference between ac-
| tual and reported cost of buildings dur
| ing the year was probably close to z
per cent. Adding this difference of q
| per cent to the reported cost will bring
| the total amount of building operations
| in Butte during the year 1895 up e
| $3.50, 000 and that can be relied on as
/ not a dollar excessive.
During the first four months OF the
/ year Charles Lane was building in
| spector and during the balance of tbs
| year Col. ]. ID. jerks held that office
| The following table shows the number
| of permits issued each month and th'
total cost, as reported to the building

.S.TO THE EXPLOSION CASES

Judge Mediation yesterday passed on
an important question. raised by de-

John O'Leary against the Butte & Bos-
ton. The plaintiff is the father of boy
who was killed by falling into am un-
covered shaft on one of the defend
ants properties. The company's attor-
ney argued, In support of his demurrer.
that there was no provision In the new
codes which gives a cause of action TO
father for the death or injury OF a
minor child The common law recog-
nized no such right, and authority 20
sue In such am event is conferred only
by statute. Judge Mediation oveqruled
the demurrer and read Sections SIS, $40
and 4270 of 1.-THE civil code and held that
the provisions of these sections fully
authorized the action. The sections
quoted not only designate the PARTIES
entitled to prosecute the cases, but also
give the right of action. The defend
ants took an exception to the ruling OF
the count, and were granted 10 days to
file am answer,

San Francisco. Jan. 1.-THE Pacific

club of Oakland for delinquency in

amateur athlete who has taken part in
any athletic contests in January until
his record could be thoroughly investi-

proved. The Pacific Amateur Athletic
association includes % clubs all over
the Pacific coast, and Is itself a MEM
Der of the American Amateur Athletic

charged that all amateur rules have
been disregarded in California, and
that the so-called amateur associations

products, ana all Otner industries, Is distinctly
due, and of necessity follows the demonetiza-
ton of silver that took from the nations, de.
monetizing it, the use of about half Of the met
al of which their redemption money was made
thus reducing to a very large extent the amount
of that money.
Bismarck who may be fairly considered to
be the greatest mind in practical politics OF
this generation, is on record as saying that he
believed the demonstration of silver to be a
mistake when it was proposed in Germany, but
allowed himelf TO be silenced by those who
claimed to be more versed in monetary science.
SO, too, John Sherman, eminent for his
acrobatic ability of jumping from one side of a
question to another, as may seem necessary, or
desirable, to serve his interests or his policies,
wrote:
During the monetary conference in Paris,
when silver in our country was excluded from
circulation by being undervalucd ! WAS
STRONGLY ~ FAVOR OF THE SINGLE STANDARD
OF GOLD, and wrote a letter which YOU will find
in the proceedings of that conference, stating
briefly my view. At that time the wisest Of us
did not anticipate the sudden fall Of silver, or
RISE of gold that has occurred. This uncer-
tainty of the relation between the two metals
is one OF the chief arguments in favor of a
monometallic system, But OTHER ARGUMENTS,

oughly convinced that if it were possible for
he l,
ment an arbitrary relation between silver and
gold, even though the market value might vary
somewhat from time to time. it would be a
measure of the greatest good to all nations
My earnest desire is that you may succeed in
doing this"
And again in a speech in the senate July II,
1870, Mr.. Sherman, referring to the law Of
Germany, said:
"Ihe enormous effect of the law in Germany,
and as consequence the partial demonctila-
ton of silver coins, | suppose, is felt by every
man, woman and child who buys or sells any
thing. struggle for the possession Of gold at

anybody could sec that il $500, 100000 Of

l the information they need and thus defer the
good time coming, that good time will come
just the same, for in America it lis the people
that rule and sooner or later they will become
informed and assert their power.
, In the decision of this question the Re-
, publican party, as all the other parties, must
act. Its individual members must take sides
and guide the action Of that party, as, too,
/ the individual members OF the other parties
will have to take sides and guide their
actions We believe in doing this there will
be large disintegration among the parties, ex-
cepting the populist and labor, which are
nearly unanimous for bmetalsm. have
but little to do with the Democratic party.
The Republican | have much interest in, es-
peciay as it exists in Vermont, and very
earnestly hope and expect that, as this contest
goes on the part of it at least which represents
the plain people, and especially the farming
population, will line up more and more solid
ly, and more and more earnestly, upon the side
OF bimeaism.
The Republican party by its platforms has al
ways been committed to bimetallism The
platforms of nearly all the recent Republican
State conventions announce their continued
belief in bimctalsm. This is especially true
of the Ohio platform. the money plank in
which is said to have been written by the
most popular before the people of all the Re
publican candidates for president, VIM. Nc
Kinley. All true Republicans, We believe,
will hold stcadfast to this faith, and utterly re-
pudiate the principle OF a single gold standard.
One Of the ablest speeches in the present
house OF representatives was made by the
from Minnesota, Feb. s, 1890, and is entitled
"SiNer Restoraton.-Ihe Duty Of the Re

"But what say Mr.. Chairman, is that the
Republican party must at this time make up
its mind to do something, The people of the
United States have passed a vote of confidence
in the Republican party; that is all. We
must now justify that confidence by being
equal to the emergencies that confront the
people. Our platform pledges US explicitly to
the rehabilitation Of silver, to make it (stand-
ard money, even as gold is The people
want that done. They have not yet decided
exactly how, perhaps but that is what they
elected us for-to find out how, to show them
the way and lead therein. BE assured, sir. if
we fail to do what they want done they are
not SO unframed in managing their affairs but
that they will find somebody else to do it,"
But the more immediate question for us is,
what the Republican party of Vermont will
do. That depends upon the farmers Of Yer
mont. They are the boss of the Republican
party of Vermont, and they are the most inter
ested of all in this question. This fact of great
interest has made the farmers of England and
Germany suffering equally, and perhaps more
than ours, unit for bimetallism, so that the
party there of bmietallism is referred to CON
