CoRBETT didn't bear up well
under defeat, and his admirers are
many less than they would be if
he had accepted the issue of his
battle with Fitzsimmons graceful
ly. He acted about as badly after
his knockout as ''Lanky Bob's"
wife did when assured that her
muscular hubby had won the
championship belt and trimmings.
On the whole, the Carson battle
and its incidents are not calculated
to raise pugilism in the estimation
of persons with prediction in
favor of decency in behavior and
good morals.

HAVING put out Corbett, Fitz-
simmons will now proceed to ex-
tinguish himself, as he will neither
act, sing, dance, lecture, pose or
give sparring exhibitions. With
$25, 900, a sore thumb, skinned
nose, cracked lip, a wife and baby
and cart-load of blushing honors,
he can we'll afford to slide out of
existence, for time at least. His
positive non-appearance on the
stage is received with pleasure by
the American public. Thanks and
farewell.

We will wash our hands of the
publication of events which have
transpired in this city recently
concerning several of our solid
citizens. The publication would
neither benefit them nor us and
surely not the town, therefore the
scandal mongers who confidently
expect to ''see it in the paper
must be disappointed. While it
is true, we are here to give the
news, which we aim to do, and the
items would make sensational
reading for few, we are content
to let it rest as the least said
about it, the better.

an assistant at 81, 800 a year, and

The democratic organs are cal
ling for ''reuenue only" tariff
while denouncing the new tariff
bill. Well, the democrats have
for nearly three years had a tariff
of their own making in force, and
the revenue deficits aggregate
$1S5, 100000. The democrats tried
the ''revenue-only" system in 1916
when the Walker tariff was adopt
cd and the result was that, from
1916 to 1860 when that system was
in force, the excess of values of
imports over exports of merchan-
disc aggregated 1862, 079,667 and
of exports of specie over imports,
S4O6, 519,261. That tariff was to
have given a balance in our favor
through an immense demand for
our products by foreigners. In
stead of this the county had to pay
a big balance against it in specie.
The United States has had quite
enough of the revenue only policy.
The old tidings of death and
destruction come from the Missis-
sippi valley. A dreadful break in
the levee on the Arkansas side of
the stream has let loose the swollen
torrent on the lowlands, and lives
and property have been swept
from existence. For many days
guards have patrolled long Sec
tons of the levee and watched by
day and night for signs of weaken
ing. Steamers have been rudely
ordered to keep away from shore,
lest their wash might crumble the
wall. They have been driven off
with firearms. Every precaution
that ingenuity could suggest or
willing hands execute has been
tried in the effort to hold the river
in it's channel. Now a break has
come and untold mischief has been
wrought.

No less than six political parties
have caucuses in Virginia this
week to fill the municipal offices.
This is carrying the thing a little
too far in local politics especially
this year when great number of
the unintelligent voters have been
disfranchised, and those who vote
will work for the best interests of
the town and not any particular
political faction.

THERE is considerable contro-
versy existing concerning the real
nationality of Fitzsimmons. The
English sporting papers maintain
that he is true born Englishman
and a native of Cornwall, while
the Irish insist he is the son of
Irish parents, wherever he may
have been born. In Australia
Fitz was always regarded as an
Irishman and fully accepted that
nationality.

a Marriage License Procured Under Diff

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
Basin, Dec. 25.--Fred Suhr and Miss
Maggie Guidbaugh, after considerable
difficulty obtained marriage license
from the clerk of the district court of
Lewis and Clarke county and were mar
ried in Helena yesterday. The young
man is Is years old and his bride has
seen but Is summers. Both had the
consent of their parents to the marriage,
and went to Boulder Thursday to OBJ
tain the necessary license and have the
knot tied. The girl, being under the
statutory ago of consent. Clerk Henry
RiCSerts refused to grant a license. Mrs.
Al Guidbaugh, mother of the girl, be-
came indignant and declared a boycott
on the Jefferson county court house,
saying, There are other court houses
in Montana, and / guess we can get
a license somewhere else" So saying,
she advised the young people to get on
the train and go to Helena at once. That
they were more successful at the "other
court house" was plainly evident by
their smiling countenances when they
alighted from the train here at S:35
o'clock last night. Later on keg of
beer of magnificent proportions was
tapped and all went merry as marriage
bells"
A force of about 60 men are now en-
gagged in rebuilding the Northern Pacific
roadbed between Basin and Bernice.
This portion of the road was abandoned
Is months ago, but since the resump-
ton of mining activity in the district
surrounding Bernice the officials
of the Northern Pacific have
concluded to again run trains between

quire about two weeks time to set
trains to running over this branch.
