In answer to a claim recently made
of extraordinary and unusual economy

few days ago published a communica-
ton to the effect that the county treas
urer's books showed that in one year
the present board expended from the
poor. road and contingent funds about
$4,000 more than the previous board
had In the same period of time, with
out a corresponding improvement In the
county roads or increase in the num-
Der of poor supported by the county.
The claim was made in the communica-
ton that the three funds named were
the only funds over which the commits
sioners had absolute control, and that
the county or general fund was not in
cluded in the comparative statement
for the reason that the board had no
control over IL and was not response

urer Hill to give them a full and COM

AFTER THE TEL EPHONEs,

Attorney General Harmon, with other
eminent counsel, is now before the su-
preme court engaged in an effort to
prove that certain patents claimed and
held by the Bell Telephone company
have expired and that the right to use
them has become public property. We
are not advised az to the details of the
case, but there must be merit in the
assertions set up against the company,
or the case would not now be before the
United States supreme court. In the
interest Of the general public 1t is to be
hoped that tho attorney general will
win; for, il he does, he will then have
an excuse for proceeding to enforce tire
law against %monopolies and tho great
trusts or course, the conditions are
different, but it is 80 refreshing to see
the law officers Of the government at
lacking one such gigantic corporation

Col. Alex. Botkin has been interviewed
by the Butte Inter Mountain on the re.

manner CLOSES over his own defeat

To do otherwise would be to contradict
a sunny nature that can revel in pros
perity and cannot be dismaycd by III
fortune. But there is orc portion Of hi
interview to which exception may be
taken. With the smile of An o~ptiInist
he holds out the vain hope that the re-
publican administration will make n de-
termined effort to secure i~nternationaI
bimetallism as oon as it Assumes CON
troll OF the government. In this view we
must assume that with Col. Botkin the
wish is father to the thought" for we
cannot seriously ccuse him OF having
any confidence in such a result. That
portion Of the republican platform,
like the financial plank Of 1892,
was made to be broken ind

not be denied that the silver producing

THE NEXT MOVE.

1t is the evident purpose of Mr..
Cleveland to do all in his power to carry
out to the fullest extent his contract
with the goldbugs before he retires
from office. The election of Mckinley,
to which the administration contributed
30 conspicuously, has secured the con-
%tinuance OF the gold standard, and all
that is now needed to give the money
power complete control is the retirement
Of the vernment,notes-greenbacks and
legal tenders. The opening note for the
accomplishment OF this purpose has
been sounded by Comptroller Eckels in
a communication to the Chicago Times
Herald, IN which he says: II believe the
national banks should issue all the paper
currency Of the country and with this
power given them they should be
obliged to redeem the same in gold. This
they could readily do if the legal tend
ers we're removed and they were COM
pletely freed from further silver agita-
ton. / have nc doubt that, under such
circumstances, they would be willing to
undertake it,"
No need to say that Ecke's is in this
matter the mouthpiece of Mr.. Cleveland
and that a recommendation like unto
the suggestion Of the former will find a
conspicuous place in the forthcoming
message Of the president to congress.
We do not believe that the project can
be carried through the present congress,
but it will be given a start between now
and March 4, in order that the McKin-
ley congress can have a good chance to
put it into effect. Make no mistake
about it. This is the program ae ar
ranged long ago. 1t 10 OF as much i'm
portance to the bankers, almost, as the
victory for gold. This being the case,
can there be any reason to doubt that
the men elected to congress- by the gold
men will be called upon to finish the Job?

VAIN HOPE,

Senator John Sherman has seized the
opportunity to send out to the country
his opinion as to the result. As usual
with the public expressions Of the gen.
tleman, it is evasive and written with in.
tent to deceive. He begins by sincerely
hoping that the question OF free coinage
has been forever settled. Vain hope!
In the language Of Mr.. Bryan, ''the bat
tie has just begun" Continuing, the
Ohio senator says: II hope that the
present gold standard will be main
tanned" or this there can be no doubt,
as the republicans will be in power in
congress and they are pledged to that
line OF conduct. Now read this little
sop he throws to the silver men: "With
the largest use of silver that can
be maintained at parity with
gold" What good will that do anyone
except the bankers? The people do not
ask nor will they accept any half way
measure. They demand a reimbursement
Of finances that will give them a volume
of redemption money that will reason
ably meet the demands of trade and re-
lieve them from the grasp OF Wall street.
This al only be accomplished by a re-
turn to bimetallism, which means the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver and
gold at the ratio of 1G to l.. For this the
baftla will he continual unceaajnvlv
until the victory is won, and won it must
be. In spite of the hope OF Mr.. Sher-
man and those whose cause be serves,
that question is not settled forever. The
recent contest was quite an animated
skirmish, but the temporary defeat has
only spurred the peoples champions to
renewed efforts and inspired them with
greater confidence.

While Robert b. Smith WAS in Cali
fornia on the stump, urging the cause
of free coinage and the election OF
Bryan, Alex Botkin and his adherents
in Montana were elandering him on the
stump in this state, declaring that his
election to the governorehip would ruin
its credit and standing and virtually re-
duce it to Il condition of anarchy,
The voters answered these slurs at the
polls by e%lecting Mr., Smith 10y a MAJOR,
ity that was eimply tremendous. Mr..
Smith returned to his home Sunday and
in a brief interview emphasized the PEG

tional will transpire in my a%dministra-
ton, if | can helpit. Those persons who

cause. II there is any degree OF pros

or retarded by anything which | may
suggest or do. hope to be exactly Just
TO all persons and all interests, as far as
| know it. ! have no personal ambitions
to subserve; no friends to reward or
enemies to punish"
This language is plain, pointed and
hon cradle. 1t shows the temper Of the
man, and while it WAS hardly necessary
for him to declare himself, it is Just as
we'll that he has done 30. AS THE
TRIBUNE has said during the campaign,
it now repeats the administration OF Gov.
Smith will be an honor to himself, a
credit to the state and a vindication OF
the large number OF electors who voted
| for him.

The New York World, like all the
other goldbug papers, is clarifying over
the result Of the election. This was to
be expected. In spite, however, Of the
victory, the World 10 not exactly salts
fed. 1t wants to know what is to be
done with the trusts. Upon this sub
ject it rises to remark: John Sherman
has given out an able interview on the
political outlook, in which he fails to re-
view the prospects for enforcing the
anti trust law. But perhaps he is hold
ing back his views on that subject to
make them more forcible." This ia a
hobby Of the World, but it cannot be
hoped that it will be as successful in
carrying its point as it was in the cleo
ton OF Mckinley. 1t should not forget
that the trusts put up large sums to
elect the president and congress, and it
is not to imagine they elected men who
could be induced to iniure their interest.

The outcome OF the Venezuelan

message to congress. When the dispute

from the best sources obtainable the

Intended to make 1t our business, there
was a change OF tune. The action OF
our government was duo notice that it
proposed to ascertain what was Just and

such manne as the occasion required.
This brought into play overtures for di-
plomacy and they have eliminated in
an agreement to submit the entire
question to arbitration. In the agree
ment reached Venezuela is not a party.
The United States stands sponsor for
her and appoints two Of the arbitrators,
England appoints two and the fifth lie to
be King Oscar Of Sweden and Norway.
1t is fair to assume that such a court
will render exact justice, but no matter
what the result, the material point
gained is that England has acknowledged
our contention that the doctrine laid
down by President Monroe regarding
the encroachments Of any foreign power
upon this continent is in force and effect
and will be respected. At the conclu.
