NETT MONDA Y.

1t appears to be a still hunt in Butte
this spring--each one of the parties
there is trying to keep stiller than ITS
rivals. The fact that Butte has no
regular republican ticket in the field
tends TO confuse the situation; there
was more fun in last springs cam
paign when two republican tickets
were presented.
We find the Inter Mountain lending
what might be alleged to be support to
the combination ticket named last
Monday by the city-hall ring. That
ticket is the product of a convention
which adopted resolutions touching
several national issues, but which
made not a line of reference to the
services lately rendered the cause of
free coinage by Mr.. Carter. a republi-
can Of national prominence, and by Mr.
Mantle. a republican resident OF Butte
and once hts mayor. II a regular re-
publican convention had been held in
Butte this spring. praise. at least of
Senator Mantle. would certainly have
found a place in the resolutions; the
wonder is that the Butte democrats
themselves We're not brave enough TO
put in a word for him.
The Butte democrats are In the field
with a full ticket. The party has can
didates for each ward, and they are
good men-there is nothing mongrei
about the ticket named Tuesday. Un-
doubtedly II will have full party sup
port. besides winning the votes OF
many republicans for whom their own
organization. by entering into a COM
bine which nominated democrats. has
failed to furnish candidates.
The democrats ought to sweep
Butte's eight wards next Monday; they
surely will II the candidates they have
nominated get more votes than the
other fellows. But it's a still hunt this
year.

SHERMAN ADMITS 1T.

Only a few weeks ago. Senator Sher-
man was trying to use the Congression-
slRecord as q medium for spreading the
report that he is bimetallist. Senator
Teller wouldn't have 1t that wayne
caused the Record to say that there is
not an authority on the money question
in the world whose definition of the
word bimetallism would fit Mr.. Sher-
mans Views.
where the presidential lightning cannot
strike him. He has cherished for
twenty years an ambition that will
never be gratified. He never will live
in the white house; he never will be the
candidate of his party for the office Of
president. Realizing this, Mr.. Sherman
feels that there is no longer any reason
why he should be making false passes.
Last Thursday, in conversation with
reporter. Mr.. Sherman said for publica-
ton: mo one can misunderstood my
position on the money question. 1 favor
the gold standard now adopted by all
the leading nations of Europe and the
use of a limited amount Of silver coins
maintained, as now, at par with gold.
Mr.. Sherman's talk is assumed to be
a sort of supplement to the straddie
which Mckinley tried to frame into the
Ohio platform. Since Morton's sup
porters have come out fiatfooted In
New York for the gold basis and Reeds
hackers in Massachusetts, have done
the same, Sherman wants the party to
understand that Ohio is as set against
silver as any of them.

CHANGES AT TRENTON.

New Jersey is switching. About six
weeks ago a poll of the legislature Of
that state was taken, with the result
that there were thirty-five republican
members in favor of Reed and only
seven for Mckinley. Apparently a rev.
olution in sentiment In New Jersey has
taken place. Just before final adjourn
ment. last Thursday. the vote of legis-
lative republicans gave forty-one for
Mckinley and less than twenty for
Reed.
AS in New York. so in New Jersey.
Allison seems to be almost destitute of
support That condition is significant
because II makes more difficult the eff
fort to block Mckinley by banking the
Reed vote, together with what Morton
and Quay can deliver. on the Iowa
man. The theory OF some of the poll
ticians is that results are shaping for
a square issue between Mckinley and a
concentration of the balance of the con-
vention on Harrison. IL would put Mr..
Plat in a sorry plight were he left TO
choose between Mckinley and Harri-

Juvenile offenders. is working on similar
lines. Not only are the common school
studies pursued here, but. what is still
more important. careful training is given
I'm practical work of many kinds. The
farm and garden have been of great
value. not merely as producers of food.
but as educational appliances. During the
past year two large brick buildings have
been built. mainly by the boys. many Of
whom are said to have become good car
penters and masons. 1t may be doubted
whether. in so short time, they have
mastered these trades. but there is no
question that they have got a good start
on the road to honest self-maintenance.
We do not know whether the care of
Montana for her criminals ends with their
discharge, or has watchful eye to their
future but we think that there is no man
who feels the need of friendship more
keenly than the discharged convict. And
we believe there is no expenditure Of
kindness that is productive of more good
than that which is bestowed on young
men who have just come out of a prison
at the expiration of their first sentence
The treatment that is too often accorded
ex-convicts compels them to make choice
between crime and starvation. Suppose
them to come out of prison or reforma-
tory with a knowledge of some handi-
craft and strong purpose to begin life
anew on the path of honest industry:
how can this purpose be carried out under
existing sc al conditions? Such a person
is soon made to feel that every mans
hand is against him. and. in course of
time, he becomes an enemy to society.
Applying for work and frankly stating
that he has been in prison, no man will
employ him. Getting a chance to work
without mentioning his prison record. he
lives in constant dread of exposure, dis
charge and disgrace, and his dread is
generally well founded. We hope the
state of Montana, If she has not already
done so, will improve her admirable
prison system by extending a helping
hand to the graduates of her prison
schools. And why would 1t not be good
policy for the federal government to have
prisons of its own and give all the states
an example of the best achievements in
criminology?

THURSDAY. APRIL Q. 1896.
HE WAS FUNNY.

It will entertain you to read this
morning the report of what happened
yesterday in the house of representa-
tives when Patterson took the floor.
His front name is Josiah. The like of
him is not numerous-he is a democrat
who loves the Cleveland administra-
ton. His biographer says that he be-
gan life as a clerk in a country store
and that. afterward. he was a student
''in the law Office of Nicks and Hobby"
We would have guessed as much.
In being serious. Josiah afforded a
great deal more sport yesterday than IL
he had tried to be comical. He's for
sound money" and Cleveland, and
when he lifted his voice in an invoca-
tion that the rest of the democrats
might feel as he feels, the house went
completely to pieces. They had plenty
of sport with Patterson. He kept on
talking about the administration until
the discussion of graveyards became
general
The time has come when a democrat
makes himself laughable by shouting
for Grover. Patterson was without a
following. That's right. The admins
tration forces propose to run the Chi
cago convention; yet 1t will not surprise
us IL its defeat will be made complete
by the adoption of a free-coinage plat
form. Josiah Patterson is the Joke of
the session. He and his are none Of

TOO SMART FOR HILL.

Before his term expires, eleven
months hence, Senator Hill will proba-
bly, be frank enough to admit that SEN
ator Chandler is able to make him tired.
Just before he went home to try to run
the New Hampshire convention, Mr..
Chandler took a share in the debate
over the election of a superintendent of
the congressional library. Mr.. Hill, for
whatever reason, did not relish Chand-
ler's talk, and he remarked, in a sneer-
ing way, that, two or three days earlier,
the New Hampshire senator had Sc
cured some legislation on the plea that
he was going home. but the senator
has not gone" complained Hill. "he re-
mains and talks"
Not at all disturbed, Chandler said
that he was going And cannot for

that the senator made a contract with
his constituents by which he agreed to
become a United States senator from
New York, and, Notwithstanding that
fact, he remained as the governor of
New York for a year, and did not come
to Washington to represent his constit-
uents." Chandler added that he was
really glad Mr.. Hill had finally come to
Washington. for" said he. che has
afforded us much amusement and, on
the whole, has benefited the public
service"
The senate laughed but Hill looked
unhappy. and he said not a word.

NEW YORR'S VOTE.

Second-choice talk has been rife in
New York since the republicans in that
state held their convention. Mr.. Plat
carried his point in pledging the party
to Morton. 1t was a machine victory.
and now the party organs in New York
are wondering what Mr.. Plat will do
with 1t; IL appears to be the accepted
theory that the governor will not be
nominated.
one element in a rather confused sit
uation has been made clear within a
week. To all appearance. New York is
not in the slightest disposed to assist

or concern.
Whatever the outcome, the bill is
sure to provoke a lively fight.
OTHER MEASURES IN SIGHT.
Other measures which, in the ordin-
airy course of events ought to be
reached by one or both branches dur
ing the week are the school bill. the fish
ard game bill, the horticultural bill, to
consider which a special committee
was appointed in the house, and the
public health committee of the house
is expected to report one or two meas
ures, one making some changes in
the present statute in relation to the
examination and qualification of ply
sieians is expected, with the possibtli-
ty that the bill will recommend a sub
stitute for the entire medical code, and
the other will in all probability recon-
mend the creation of a state board OF
health
The livestock bill will be reported to
the house sometime during the week,
and action will be taken on substitute
for H B. No. 80, changing the present
law with reference to boards of public
works, and substitute for H. B. No. %
to enable cities and towns to incur in
debtedness by issuance of bonds for
public improvements. It is possible al
so that the week will see the proposed
changes to the fire and police bill re-
ported to the house, while in the SEN
ate, where there is less prospect for so
lively a week. the general revenue bill
and Senator Allison's bill for the adop-
ton of the Australian election system
are looked upon as the most likely of
the important measures pending, to
be considered and acted upon.
The land bill together with the
counties, salaries. appropriations and
militia, are still hanging fire with no
indication as to when they will be
landed in either house.
