As REGARDS WEALTH.-When the
people declare against the unjust
domination OF wealth they do not
declare against wealth per Sc. The
people are wealth-producers; wealth
is desirable; it produces comfort; it
is an agent of good; it advances civ
ilization. No honest, right-minded
citizen is opposed to wealth or
wealth getting. It is the dictation
of wealth, its efforts to automatically
control and govern, to levee unjust
tribute on the people, against which
the people protest. Those who do
not understand this fact are very
poor students of their country and
countrymen.-Knocville Tribune.

Our National Sin.

infancy of liberty has not always
been needed by the people who are
the peculiar guardians of this sacred
heritage to all humanity. A broad
and sincere altruism was the very
foundation upon which the American
Republic was builded, but we have
not always been sufficiently vigilant
to ward off the corroding influence
of greed and selfshness, and deca.
dence of patriotism which threatens
this foundation is the natural result.
In the early days of our history
that liberty for which our fathers
struggled through seven long years
of the varying fortunes of war, was
the idol of the people, and that
spirit of fair play and consideration
for the rights of others, begotten by
the hardships of the pioneer was a
characteristic Of our early national
life. Slowly and insidiously, but
persistently and effectively has avar-
ice distracted, tempted and seduced
liberty's guard, until she is sacrificed
in her own temple upon On altar pro-
fame set up to the almighty dollar.
A mad rush. for wealth, and the
dispoaition to trample in the dust
everything that stands in the way,
whether it be the laws of the land,
the rights and interests of the weaker
members of society, or all the princi-
pies of morality and ethics, consti-
tutes our great national sin. This is
one of the natural results of the de-
velopment of a new country with the
mechanical appliances which inven-
ton has given to modern industry.
That few men control the wealth
of the country and through the
power Of money practically dominate
the government, is not so much the
fault of these few as of the whole
people. There is no need to deny
that most proletariats would have
been plutocrats if they could. Human
nature is about the same thing the
world over and through all stratas Of
society. No man should make rash
statements as to what he would dc
under given circumstances.
There are perhaps very few men
who, with the ability and opportunity,
would have not been Goulds or Rock
afellers. We are making great dea.
of progress when we open our eyes tc
the fact that the men who compose
the money power in this country are
not so much to blame after all as the
system under which the people have
permitted this public plumber.
It is not only the privilege and the
right, but the duty of society to pro
tect itself. The mad scramble fol
gain has pervaded too deep into tn
masses of the people. We have no
grasped the proper relations Of gov
eminent to the wonderful transfer
nations Of the century in the indus
trial world. Many who have no
been debased by the insidious in
fuence of the dollar, have been lulle,
into a false sense of security an.
while they have slept, liberty, witt
all that is embodied in the compre
hensive meaning of the term, ha
suffered.

Expend lures.
Mayor Thompson completed yester-
day his report for the month of March.
1t shows, for a change, an Increase in
the expenditures for March over the
expenditures for March, 1895. The
mayors heart was nearly broken when
he found that he had fallen down near
the finish of the fiscal year, but he con-
cluded to send in the report just the
same. 1t is as follows:
Butte, Mont, April %, 1896.
To the City Council of the City of
Butte:
Gentlemen-I herewith respectfully
submit to your honorable body my re-
port for the month of March, 1896, con-
tanning the total receipts and disburse-
ments. and the balance remaining in
the treasury, and a comparative state
ment of the month of March, 1895 and
1896, showing the increase and decrease
of the expenditures of the city. These
amounts include the entire amount of
warrants issued for the month, except
warrants drawn in settlement of two
damage suits compromised and settled
by order of the city council, one for the
amount of $3.50, paid to Mrs. Mary
Evans in full for all claims; and one
for the amount of $500. paid to Mrs.
Caroline Brobank in full for all claims.
The exceedingly large amount of ex-
penses incurred in this month is due to
the registration and city election ex-
penses, and to the purchase of fire hose,
horses and wagon.

County Clerk Johnson reported to the
commissioners yesterday that there was
no record of a franchise ever having
been granted the Utah & Northern Rail-
road company for a right-of-way on the
county road near Divide. over which there
has been so much trouble recently, and IL
is evident that the railroad company
built its tracks along the county road
without asking permission from anybody
The track has been in use for a number
of years. The commissioners will meet
at Divide tomorrow for the purpose of
investigating the matter and notices to
that effect were yesterday sent to the
railroad officials and TO the parties who
are demanding the removal of the tracks.

Thomas l.. Holiday was held yesterday
morning at the Butte undertaking rooms
and lasted only about half an hour. Sa-
die McGinnis, with whom the young man

the most important witness and her evil

on Sunday Holiday rented a house which
they intended to occupy. but that on
Monday evening he told her he could not
raise enough money to furnish It, She
went with him TO his room that evening
and Just before he killed himself he kiss
ed her goodbye. told her that 1t was all
up and ordered her 10 leave the room so
that no one would think that she had
any hand In what was to follow. She ex-
postulated with him, but he became des-
perate and she left the room to summon
