The Butte "Bystandsr" Has Changed
Its Publication Day.

ELEVEN WEEKLlES HERE

The Butte Bystander. for five years
the labor organ of this city, begins its
sixth year by changing the day of pub
lication from Tuesday to Sunday. and
its name to the Sunday Bystander. The
paper is now edited by Guy X. Piatt.
and has much improved lately in the
character and variety of its news. An
nouncing the change, the paper says:
with this issue the publication OF
the Bystander Is changed from Tues
day to Sunday morning. 1t is intended
to print about ten times as much local
and current news as heretofore. and
we want to give IL to the people upon
a day when they have time to read 1t.
Besides, large line of prospective ad-
vertisers have intimated that Sunday
paper was much more desirable as an
advertising medium than one publish
ed on any other day of the week-and
we want ii distinctly understood that
we are after that sort of business. This
journal already has larger circula-
ton in Butte than any other weekly
paper published here, be ii railroad.
mining or johnnybull; and such being
the case, II can justly claim to offer
better inducements than any other to
those having business announcements
to make for the benefit of the early
part-of- the-week purchasers. The By
labor organizations, has a particularly
large circulation among laboring peo-
ple-and the wise advertisers knows
without being told that these are the
people who buy the most of his goods.
Further, ii is proposed to make the
Sunday Bystander a complete chronicle
of all the weeks local news, with a fair
outline of the principal state and gen.
eral newsstand this will give us all the
rest of the community for readers"
The removal of the Basin Times to
Butte brings the total number of Butte
publications up to IL. OR these. six are
republican, and. as the Bystander re-
marks, every faction and color of the
republican party in Butte now has an
organ in this city. The Railroad Re-
view represents the Couch wing; the
Tribune represents the English wing:
the Examiner represents the A. p. A.
wing; the Sunday Mercury represents
the bad lands wing; the Inter Mountain
represents all wings of the party that
will permit it's Representations; and IL is
supposed that the Basin Times will
represent the Mantle and Warren wing.

There will soon be another new paper

brilliant newspaper man, formerly city
editor of the Butte Miner. Mr.. ST.

B INDEPgNpENcE

Senator CamerOn's resolution recag
niEing the indpprnde nee Of Cuba has
been favorat,ly reported by The com
mittec on io,rign relations, and it
is now m,ae thau probable that Con
gspss win pass the resolution when
tle Christmas holidays ARE over. 1t is
believed thai President Cleveland viii
ass his veto % dsfcat tl.e resolution,
u which case il is probable il,att Cons
gress will pass the resolution over the
Presidents veto.
The resolution reads
ssResolved, by the Senate aud House of
Representatives Of the United States of
America ia Congress assembled that tue
Independence of the republic Of Cuba he
aud the Same is hereby ACKNOWLEDGED by
the United States Of America.
Be it father resolved, that the United
States win use It's friendly offices with the
government Of spnin TO BRING TO A
CLOSE THE WAR between Spain and
the republic ofCubap
The stand that Congress has taken
has given ia impetus to the Cuban
cause, while it has aroused the Spanish
and added to The hid blood that has
existed for some .ims between Spain
and the United States.
Il il but natural for the people Of
this country 10 sympathize with the
cubaus. They are struggling to gain
their independence jGst as we once
struggled. They are lighting the same
battle for freedom that i f~Orefathers
fought and won, with just as maa !
grievances to justify them 10 throwing
off che yoke o~fopprssslon.
It cannot be said that the people Of
tbia country are siding with Cuba
hecause they wish the United States to
get possession Of The island. Such al
assertion would be untrue. America is
not carried away by that selfish desire
70 acquire more territory that leads
England aud other foreign nations to
war and conquest. Our sympathy for
Cuba is prompted BY an innate desi,e
to help a weak brother who is lighting
tor a strong cause The sympathy
has been increased by the many ~
ports Of sranisI. Atrocities, that have
reached this county from reliable
sources.
The hooting Of defenseIy women,
children : pon-combatants; the
murdsf pt spo and the brutal aud
uncivhzed manner . which the
spaniAh general, Weyler. has carried
on TIE aaF, have added fuel TO the
aame q lhat was kindled

II spaiu imagines that President
