BUTTES MURDERED OFFICER.

In Butte, yesterday afternoon, dark
clouds hung heavily; the downpour OF
rain helped to make more dismal the
scene, as the mournful procession
moved across the town bearing to an
untimely grave the murdered young
member of the police force. 1t was an
oppressive spectacle. The dirge, the
solemn tread the sobs that no man
would wish suppressed the tokens of
tenderness and sympathy, the sombre
surroundings-these all were a start
ling reminder that the grim list of
Butte's unavenged dead grows pain
fully longer.
The feeling OF regret over officer Par
Inns violent death is universal in
Butte. He was in his very prime: he
was accounted a brave and trusty
member of the force; he had attested
his personal courage in the presence of
peril: he met his death while engaged
in the discharge of duty. He was wide
ly and well-known in Butte; his per-
sonal traits commended him; he was
the indulgent head OF a devoted fam
lily. AS one of the members Of the po-
lice force he served with intelligence
and with fidelity. He merited well, yet
he met a savage fate.
1t can be said that every agency hui
man ingenuity can suggest has prompt
ly been turned to account in the earnest
effort to bring to speedy punishment
the criminals whose hands are stained
with officer Parlin's blood. Almost al
the hour when the sod was laid above
his coffin. a jury reached conclusions
which IL is ardently hoped. are the frs
steps in the successful pursuit of thu
brave officers murderer. Crime goes sc
often UNPUBLISHED in Butte that tn
suspicion of another reprieve is enter
tanned with reason, perhaps.
Yet there is good ground for the be
lief that. in this deplorable instance
murder will out. In every breast was
kindled yesterday the eager hope thai
an Avenging Providence may point ou
the unerring way that leads to swift
retribution for the author of this helm
Gus crime. And. If fortunately he bt
apprehended, woe to the man who muir
dered Fred Parlinl Woe to him!

HE'S ONE OF OUR PEOPLE.

1t has almost never happened that
the Standard has taken space in which
to sound the praises of this city's
famous hotel The Montana has always
been its own best advertisement. 1t is
a surprise to strangers, it is a welcome
haven for those whose round of travel
brings them occasionally to this region.
However, we take pleasure in quoting
this morning a paragraph which comes
to this office in the latest number of
the National Hotel Reporter. This
paragraph is included in a column of
running gossip in regard to the ups
and downs of hotel people. Reference
is made to the success which an alert
landlord has had in bringing prosper
ity to a large hotel in the South. and
the paragraph adds:
While writing on this subject a more
striking illustration can be presented in
the case of George w. Reynolds, present
manager of the Montana at Anaconda,
Mont. Mr.. Reynolds left Chicago for the
far West in the spring of 1894, and with
out entering upon a long dissertation of
Mr.. Reynolds achievements, l will only
say that in his case a yearly loss of from
$1,000 to $1,000 has been turned into a
profit of $1,000 to $4,000. When men like
these can make a blade of grass grow
where none grew before they are inval-
liable and are bound to push to the front.
What the Hotel Reporter says is true
except, as is within the Standards
knowledge, the Montana's former losses
were greater than the sum named
while the realized profits under Man
ager Reynolds have been larger by a
snug sum than the figures quoted
Aside from putting net profits in the
bank, Mr.. Reynolds has earned and
paid for the refitting and decoration of
the Montana, for the reconstruction of
its heating plant, for the building of a
large and completely equipped cold
storage establishment and for other
changes that contribute to the beauty
of the hotel and the comfort of its pat
rons.
1t gives the Standard the greater
pleasure to quote the Hotel Reporters
complimentary reference to Manager
Reynolds because of our knowledge Of
the fact that he merits pleasant mem
ton of the sort and has earned praise.
Besides, Mr.. Reynolds has come to be
recognized as a public-spirited resident
of Anaconda, a genial townsman and a
citizen who is always ready to give any
good cause a friendly lift.

policy in New York. The prediction in
the latest republican newspapers re-
ceived from that city is that the COVER
nor's friends, having concluded that the
expression sound money is too in
definite. will insist on plank demand
ing the gold standard.
Evidently the republican candidates
and the republican managers are not
coming our way. The chances that at
St. Louis they will adopt an out-and-
out gold platform grow stronger every
day

PAUL KRUGER.

Now Christ save thee, Paul Kruger!
Now Christ thee save from harm!
And may the God of Joshua
Bear up thy strong right arm.
May He who fought the battles
OF all thy hero sires,
When Orange William kindled
The blaze of Freedoms fires.
MAY He whose stern war-angel
The English pirate smote,
When Cromwell's bloody talons
Were crooked at Hollands throat.
May He who cast his aegis
Ger flooded dyke and dam.
When down mid roaring pillows,
Went Frances orifiamme.
May He defend the children,
Who kept the fathers cause,
Who raised the ocean ramparts,
And bade the spoiler pause.
No guardian surges round them.
Laugh now the foe to scorn,
But swelling thews and sinews
OF men to freedom sworn;
And breasts with Right thrice-plated
And hands that love the sword,
And hearts that count most holy
The drops for freedom poured;
And brains that guide in wisdom
The arms that strain to smite,
And Mind DER all victorious,
That leads the van in fight;
And DER them, and about them.
The rapture of a world
That halls the swapping letters
The ty'rant downward hurled.
Yea. DER them. and about them,
The prayers of every slave.
The hopes of every champion,
The blessings OF the brave.
Lo, These shall be the bulwarks
No red-coat robber scales,
Till once again his banner
Before the Dutchman's trails:
Then bring the newborn infant.
The babe in glory sent,
From Wars red font baptismal!
His shining brow besprent:
And hold him well. Paul Kruger!
And shield him with thy life.
And for his sake be hallowed
The bloody sweat and strife!
And 10Y shall lash the pulses
OF freeman and of slave,
To see the young Republic
Throned on a despot's grave.
Then Christ thee keep. Paul Kruger
Then Christ thee keep from harm;
And may thy deathless story
Nerve a patriots arm.
All, Christ thee keep. Paul Kruger!
And shrine thee in the skiess
No fairer spirit walketh
The fields of Paradise:
No brighter Star hath heaven
Mid ali the flaming band.
Than he who lives and labors,
And dies. for Fatherlandi

He then tell of the propagation OF the good
bacilli, or cultures. and says: "Inocula
ton of a soil with these cultures, on a
practical scale, may be effected in either of
two ways First, the seed of the crop it is
desired to iDoculate may be lnoculated

spreading it over the field and subsequently
working it into the soil to a depth of about
three inches Naturally point of con-
siderable interest is the economic question
esting to learn that this is extremely
moderate, as the expense of inoculating
moderate sum of five shillings per acre.
This cannot be regarded as expensive and
contrasts favorably with the expensive
fertilizers"

indicates that tobacco growers do not al
ways recline on a bed of roses minus the
thorns that tobacco growing. as everything
else, has its downs" as we'll as its ups.
From what we gather from Mr.. Sher
woods letter, and his remarks must carry
weight on account of his broad experience.
one of the greatest difficulties is producing
and properly curing the proper kind of
leaf. We think the admission that the
aroma of the tobacco is retained when the
freshly imported seed are used and is lost
when the home produced seed are used
after a few years, should be impressed on
our growers.
Mr.. Sherwood's admission that he writes
only of the northern belt of the state, and
does not refer to the southern section of
Florida, in which he has had no expert
ence, leads US to hope that the growers on
the southern peninsula will be exempt
from the trials of their colaborers further
north And this hope, too seems not
unreasonable, as our climatic. conditions
