THE BUTTE VICTORY.

They had d municipal election in
Butte last Monday. and it resulted in a
Democratic victory. The Democrats
had been told that they were numeri-
ically much weaker than they thought
themselves to be. The Miner comments
on the result of the election thus:
One of the objects of the silver Re-
publican party in placing a full city
ticket in the field was to show the
hopelessness of the Democratic party
winning without outside assistance.
How it failed in this is shown b. the
figures. The Democratic party has
proved it is able to take care of its own
affairs
Had it been straight party vote all
around it is the belief that the Demo-
cratic candidates in the aggregate
would have gotten so many more votes
than all the others that even COM
bined opposition would have been
powerless against the ruling party. But
there is a well founded impression that
there was not a true test of party
strength.
In the Democratic party are many
men who have been all along strongly
impressed with the necessity of fusion
in Silver Bow county. To demonstrate
the correctness of their views it was
necessary that the vote of other par
ties than the Democratic should be
made as large as possible.
AS it was the Democratic party
showed it needed no outside help. With
a straight party vote this would have
been shown even more clearly.

THE MARCH EXHIBIT.

The treasury report of receipts and
expenditures for March is not an en-
couraging one, by any means. The
receipts were $50. 95S. $50. and the ex-
penditures sS1. $50. 444. leaving an appar-
ent surplus of s1.O76.3O6. But the re-
ceipts include 1851, 500 money received
on account of the Kansas Pacific sale;
but this cannot properly be classed as
regular revenue, and is not, that COM
ing from the revenue law If the
amount received from the Kansas Pa
cific sale be deducted from the total
receipts, the revenue for March was
S29, $50, against expenditures of $751;
SS2,444 thus converting an apparent
surplus of s1.O76.3O6 into an actual de-
ficiency of s2.575,194.
There is nothing encouraging about
all this. On the contrary. it is discour-
aging. March is not a month of great
expenditures; that is. there is no in
terest to pay-always an item of heavy
expense. The new law has now been
on trial for eight months, and it is
proving to be a deficit instead of a sur
plus producer. Should war come. the
law would be so inadequate as a reve-
nue. producer that the country would
soon become alarmed at'the size of the
deficit it was continually producing.
Peace or war, the government should
be provided with additional revenue
revenue ample to meet all its expendi-
lures.

NO MESSAGE YET.

The message of the president to. con-
gress that had been so anxiously and
so confidently expected yesterday, was
not sent 1t is now said that it will
not be sent before Monday. The cause
for the delay is not known. but it is
presumably good one When it does
come, it will mean crisis; of this
there can be no doubt If the presi-
dent anticipates war as the result of
his message and he is anxious to get
American consular officers and AIneri-
can citizens out of Cuba, he does wise
ly in delaying the sending of it. If, on
the other hand, the president is con-
WINGED that by little delay Spain will
aceede to all the requests and demands
OF the United States, he does wisely to
delay the transmission of a message
that might make the peaceabIe compli-
ance of Spain impossible. 1t would
not only be folly to so to war to secure
what can be secured by peaceable
means, but it would be a stupendous
crime We take it there is no one in
the country who wants war for wars
sake. We also take it that if Spain
VIII not do justice to Cuba and make
reparation TO the United States for the
destruction of the Maine and the
slaughter of 266 American officers and
sailors, the American people favor war
to compel her 10 do these things The
people are more than willing that the
president should take what time he
deems necessary before bringing things
to crisis, but they do not want any
it is that they object to.
not TO delay. Thus far all delay in
matters to a crisis has been
utilized to the very best advantage.
md has enabled the government to bet
-er prepare itself for contingency that
nay arise.
The people want TIE presidents mes
iase to be straight and to the point !
i 1t is that any delay in its trans
mission viii not be looked upon as an |,
important matter.

CAPTAIN sIGsBEE's TESTIMONY.

In his testimony before the house
committee on foreign relations. Captain
Sigsbee stated it to be his opinion that
his vessel, the Maine, was blown up
by a submarine mine located by the
Spanish authorities. AS to whether it
vas fired by the Spanish authorities
or not, he declined 70 express an oDin-
ion He told the committee what he
had testified to before the board of
inquiry about the buoy to which the
Maine was anchored being the most
unfrequented buoy in the harbor. The
position in which the ship was placed,
he said. was such that he could have
fired upon both forts at the same
time.
Captain Sigsbee's testimony COM
pletes the report of the board of in
quiIy, makes it whole, makes the case
against Spain complete. The Maine
was either blown up from an internal
explosion, or from the explosion of a
mine beneath her. All the evidence
and the condition of the Maine itself
showed that the explosion was not in
ternal. No one has or will contend
that mine could have been placed in
the harbor of Havana without the
knowledge OF the Spanish authorities.

Professor Albert Bushnell Hart is a
writer OF distinction on historical sub
jects, and one of the men of whom
Harvard is rather proud; but he is NOR
tai, and being mortal, is not perfect
All of a sudden he has fallen foul of the
newspapers, declaring mo sensible man
believes anything that he has seen in
the newspapers of late" and that, as
far as he can see, their sole business
is TO boom a war, apparently and
''to increase the sales of the papers"
No sensible man believes all he sees
in the newspapers. any more than he
believes all he sees in histories. even
the series of historical monographs ed
tied by Albert Bushnell Hart. People
want TO know the news, and news in
cludes rumors and gossip as well as
fucts and official reports; all these are
found in the newspapers.
It appears that the professor on one
occasion took home with him "yel-
low journal. but soon threw it away.
After a time he says, Il saw my
youngest child fishing it out of the bas-
ket, attracted by the red and yellow
stripes on the first page. l snatched
it away from his mouth, lest it might
poison him. 1t is not reported that
the child was poisoned. But how in
the youngest child took to
yellow" journalism. What Professor
Hart says about the newspapers hav-
ing lately appeared in them, perhaps
his denunciation of them is not to be
believed by any sensible man.

TALES OF THE DAY.
It Was Contagious.

Harper's Magazine: 1t was on crowd
ed suburban car out of Washington one
day last summer that midde-aged wo-
man. carrying a fretful baby. was forced
to squeeze herself into a small place left
vacant beside dapper youth of possibly
70 years His countenance had all the ex-
preston of his immaculate white suit ex-
cept for look of disgust which he as
sumed as the baby, in its restlessness.

All. beg pawd0n. madam. but has this

man. CHANGING compassionately at him
through her gold-rimmed spectacIes. she
remarked meditatively:
We'll. now. | don't know, young man:

After this. for the few moments before

H's POSITION he dpuld have fired on both
Scfts ~ the sane time. What does
mat mean? 1t Means that both forts
could have Fired bn the Maine at the

IN that position, over that mine. so
THAI she would be at the mercy of the
Spaniards in the event of any trouble
between the United States and Spain.
And while she was so placed some
tieacherous Spaniard, who knew the
secrets of the harbor, fired that mine.
ana such secrets are only in the keep
ing Oh the very, very few. The New
YORK Times sums up the whole ques-
ten in the following admirable way:
The Spanish government was not
likely to authorize an act that would
secure the expulsion of Spain from this
hemisphere. That must have been the
ACT OF an irresponsible and unauthor-
zsu madman or fanatic. The Spanish
oHlcer who actually blew up the Maine
was as in5iscreet as the Madrid news
papers which exulted in his deed. But
the responsibility of the Spanish gov
eminent was none the less complete,
as complete morally as legally. To pre-
pare Tor the destruction of the vessel

nostllities, made the destruction of the
Maine as much an act of war on the
part or Spain as if Marshal Blanco him
ser mao pressed the button which eX-
Dioded the mine.
mat is what the American people
believe. They will not act upon or dis
cuss or consider the hypothesis that
Inc Spanish report which attributes
Inc explosion to accident is likely to be |
true as the American report. which at
tributes it to dastardly design. That |
is why there is no alternative for Spain, /
except the choice of hopeless war. TO |

comment Of this hemisphere, in which I
Tor four centuries her influence has |

why many Americans. who. in ordinary |
affairs, are Deaceable, civilized and /
Christian men, would experience a dis |
tinct disappointment if Spain were to /
to our demand for the evacua-
ton OF Cuba, instead of resisting it by
arms. To them the mere loss of Cuba
would be an Insufficient chastisement 1
for nation guilty of such deviltry.
They are in the wrong. and when they
are cooler they will feel themselves to
be in the wrong, but just now they are
very warm. They are not in the mood
to consider what might be the specific
merits Of the Spanish propositions if
Spain had not destroyed the Maine.
There must be PREPARATION for the
Maine. 1t is a question wholly apart
and independent of the general Cuban
question.

Rev. Heber Newton of New York
City declares that the use. of money
in the last presidential election was
so extensive that ii actually decided
the result of the contest. Notwith-
standing that he supported the winning
ticket, there has crept into his mind a
dark suspicion that the victory was
not gained by honest votes like his
own. but by lawless methods and dis
honest agencies under the direction of
&C rrupt leaders. But would Rev. New
ton support the same kind of ticket
against man like Mr.. Bryan?
