THE PETITION CRAZE.

In Cascade county a petition is in
circulation for the pardon Of a new ar
rival at Deer Lodge whose short term
is in punishment of a killing which
occurred in a saloon at Belt. In that
county. as well as Meagher county,
in Helena and Butte. petitions are now
or are soon to be in circulation in the
interest of Bill Gay, whose case has
made a fruitless tour OF the courts and
who is awaiting a second sentence. At
thesame time the friends OF Biggerstaff
are abroad in quest of names where
with they hope to impress Governor
Richards and move him TO pity. Next
Monday is the day set for Biggerstaff's
execution.
Biggerstaff could not go to the gov
ernor. so the governor went TO Big
gerstaff yesterday. The result was a
brief conference. the condemned man
handing TO his visitor certain letters
written by himself with the request
that they be considered.
Six hundred people in Helena, IL is
reported. have put their names TO
Gays petition. Next week Butte will
be canvassed in his behalf. The aver
age man dislikes to withhold his name
from a petition of this sort: II is easy
toy be polite and unload the response
bility upon the governor. In doing
this. the average man shows a lack OF
moral courage.

demned men in Helena We have said.

ence. that city ought to be a poor field

1T LOOKS QUEER.

Butte's spring campaign grows more
comical as IL gets older. The Miner
carries at the head of it's columns the
names of aldermanic candidates for
three of the city's eight wards; it ap-
pears that five of the candidates named
at the democratic city convention have
taken a header,-yet the ticket named
last Tuesday by the democrats is the
only regular political ticket in the
field.
On the other hand, the Inter Noun
tain is shouting for the republican
party and pleading with the people to
vote for the republican ticket, whereas
there is no republican ticket in nomi-
nation. A combine was made for the
election of the ticket named last Mon
day-that is the ticket which the Inter
Mountain is advocating, although the
list includes men who are at this
moment in the city council as demo-
Gratis. or lifelong members of the
local democracy. To these, the repub-
licans are welcome. although we won
der that the evening organ can stomach
them.
For its part this newspaper will stand
by the democrats until the last man on
the list has pulled down his name. 1t
is not our view that politics ought to
cut much figure in local elections. At
the same time, good men were named
in open convention. men whose election
would contribute to good government,
and the Standard proposes to be loyal
to them. There is no good reason why
the democrats of Butte should be ex-
cluded from a share in the city govern
ment: the members of the democratic
party ought to be true to the candi-
dates who are the product of a conven-
ton that was properly conducted and
which is with right assumed to have
been representative

That the members of the house OF
representatives have plenty of time 70
waste Is proved again-if added proo4
were necessary-by the fact that the
committee on territories devoted sew
eral hours yesterday to Arizona and
New Mexico. 1t is not in the thought
OF the republican house majority to
admit these territories or either of
them. The committee has been whip-
ping around the stump since January
yesterday some of the members frankly
admitted that it would not do to fur
nish seats in the senate for four men
VINO would recruit the free-coinage
ranks. The claims of the two terrific
ries are not considered on their merits
nor will they be. They will not soon be
admitted. They are ripe for statehood.
but they cannot stand the goldbug test
and that will settle their. fate with the
republican majority In the house.

THEY CONFUSE THINGS

Wild calculations are rapidly making
huge burlesque of the Nicaragua
canal scheme. Yesterday the commit
Tee on commerce in the house of repre-
sentatives gave attention to an expert:
these experts will be the death of the
project. This witness had something to
do with the construction of the Chicago
drainage canal. He undertakes to saw
that the work at Nicaragua can he
completed at less than the estimates
made by the canal company. of which
Warner Miller is president. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Miller was in
Washington about ten days ago and
that he was heard in loud and bitter
complaint against the revision of his
hgures, as reported by the commission
detailed by the federal government.
More than a dozen years ago, De
Lesseps submitted figures on the cost
and the estimated tonnage of a canal
across Nicaragua. These estimates
were said to be the conservative figures
OF competent experts. They proved to
be preposterous calculation-Mr. Mil
- PNCPiN never quoted them. In
turn the Miller company came forward
with figures which placed the cost of
the canal at 1885,. 200, 900; these were 1.-The
liberal estimate of competent engineers
who had spent months of time at Mic
aragua-" When the question came be-
fore congress several men in the gov
ernment's service were detailed to make
an examination Months afterward
they made a report which increased by
many millions the cost of the proposed
work.
In the Forum for March appeared an
article written by Joseph Nimmo, a
man OF many years of experience in the
government service and an engineer of
recognized ability in maritime matters.
He argues that two hundred millions
would not build the canal, and his esti-
mates on possible tonnage make the
Miller company's figures look ridicu- |
lous. Now comes a Chicago man, and
he tells the members of congress that !,
the Miller company's figures are too |
high. Either expert engineering is |
mighty uncertain business or some |
body is trying to fool the members Of |
congress

in fabrics that will seek a market.
1t is the fashion in this country to cry
out against the products of pauper Ia
Dor in England and throughout Europe.
What will be said of competition with
Japan where wages are at a minimum
In comparison with which the going
rates even in English factories are a
princely stipend?
The people OF Japan see their oppor-
tunity. They are building up factories
at surprising rate and preparing to
enter the worlds markets with all sorts
of manufactured articles which they
can profitably turn out at figure that
will revolutionize trade. Leave the
United States on the gold basis, per-
hitting silver to stay in decadence. and
the thrifty people Of japan can figure.
at the outset, on an advantage of from
thirty to forty per cent, in their favor.
Already Japan's advance agents
have established themselves at the COM
mercial centers in this country and are
getting trade. The people in the East
who are fighting silver may wisely take
account of what is going on. Indeed,
the eastern press already has it's eyes
opened in reference to Japans inten-
lions, and II puzzles the goldbug or
gans to say how the competition which
threatens to be unprecedented shall be
dealt with.
The signs of the times prompted Sen
ator Teller to say in a letter which he
addressed to a friend, ten days ago:
The Asiatic silver-using countries
were never so prosperous as now-new
enterprises, new avenues of employ
ment and profit offered to labor and
capital, content and happiness increas-
ing among the people, who. feeling the
stimulus Of new enterprises are pre-
pairing to compete with and in the end
will conquer and subdue the Christian
commercial world. The difference of
nearly 100 per cent. in their favor. of
exchange. enables them to produce on
terms so advantageous to them and so
to us, that IL is folly
to speak of the contest as competition.
Asiatic nations shall get fairly at work, |
as they will soon, we will be driven out |
of our home markets by their cheap |
products created by cheap labor, with |
100 per cent. because of the difference |
between the gold and silver money of |
the respective countries"

case OF men respecting whose guilt
the courts of the state have made in
quiries that have been as searching as
tney are without prejudice. The warn
ing which the circulation Of the petit
tions In question conveys is that, IL the
oecrees OF the courts cannot be en-
iorced' the public in Butte and other
cities, on the first opportunity that
clearly presents itself. will get along
without the courts. That would be a
SEQUEL most deplorable. but. IL unmer-
ited mercy is melted out. 1t is bound to
come.

FAMOUS FOR THEIR SIZE.

Frederick Ahrens, a German woman
who lived in Paris, weighed $50 pounds

FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1886.
POSITIVELY DECLINED.

This newspaper refuses peremptorily
to print an advertisement which
reached this Office late last night bear
ing the seal and the signature of the
Copper City Clerks Assembly, Knights
of Labor. No. 7os.
The advertisement I'm question an
nounces that twelve men whose names
are mentioned. together with the names
of the firms employing them, have ere
fused to become identified with an
organization having for its prime OBJ
ject the protection of their craft" It
is added in the advertisement that all
members in good standing in the
Clerks assembly are provided with
cards and that the friends of union
labor are earnestly requested to cease
purchasing from store employees who
fail to produce such cards when called
for"
The Standard refuses to be used as
an agency to coerce or to blackmail
any man in this town or elsewhere into
membership in any organization he
does not choose to join.
IL the advertisement In question is
printed anywhere, we trust that the
men thus publicly posted will take the
subject up. 1t is our opinion that, in
Deer Lodge county at least, twelve
good and true jurors can be found, in
dependent enough, upright enough and
honorable enough to pronounce such
publication a malicious libel.
Never mind the legal part of IT, as far
as this newspaper is concerned. We
hold that a publication thus pointed at
individuals and intended to injure the
wage-earning ability of young men who
earn their living by faithful service, or
a publication which is aimed at their
employers with intent to secure their
dismissal is cowardly as well as unfair
on any reputable newspapers part
the Standard utterly refuses to be in
that business.
In these columns certain classes of
boycott notices have appeared; possibly
others will be printed. But we draw
the line on what is offered for publica-
ton this morning by the Copper City
Clerks assembly; we say that we would
rather champion the twelve clerks
against the field; and we are not speak
ing hastily either
This much merely by way Of an
nouncement. We are not inviting dis
cussion-we are simply saying that the
Standard refuses TO print the notice In
question or anything akin to it in
which an effort is made to break down
the reputation or the business standing
Of any clerk in this town or to force him
to do what he does not elect to do OF
his own free will and accord; and that's
all there is of It, JHD
