4 OCAL history will tell. when IL Is
written up, that in the year 1898
the populist-republican ticket i'm
Deer Lodge county also ran. The ANAL
gamation was effected yesterday at
Deer Lodge. In part the ticket carries

the people OF Deer Lodge county very
much respect and esteem and who
would serve the public well, but Il
would be a marvel were these men.
under the conditions that exist, to ind
II possible to pack the ticket from now
till November and keep Il up with the
procession.
Under the conditions that exist. we
have said. Those conditions are per-
fectly well known. Take the legislative
ticket. for instance. Nearly the half Of
IL represents residents Of the little city
of Deer Lodge who, I'm the Hobbies Of
the legislature of two years ago. were
jealous advocates of a scheme, which
proved a failure. for the division II
Deer Lodge county. Anaconda. the
city that casts more h seventy per
cent of the county's vote, has heard
of that scheme to WEAKNESS and its
citizens cannot possibly be enlisted In
a plan which. besides being injurious
TO their own personal interests. cannot
b. shown to be of any public benefit.
The men on the democratic legislative
ticket are fairly representative OF the
whole of Deer Lodge county-only three
of the six are residents Of this city.
But the democratic county convention
was not so foolish as TO nominate
prominent citizens OF Deer Lodge
whose avowed purpose in getting on
the legislative ticket was to open up
the old question of county
division.
Foolishly, the repuhlican-populist
convention did that very thing yester-
day. and the fused elements will find
that their who'll county ticket is much
the loser by IL. Surely. II Is not re-
motely in the mind Of the Standard to
mention otherwise than in terms OF
merited commendation Of most Of the
candidates nominated yesterday. To
speak otherwise would be a wholly in
d~efensible fling at a man like Mr..
Iinsley. whose name heads the county
ticket and at certain other equally esti-
mabie citizens. But the n campaign
factor we have mentioned seems 20 US

TWO CRACK LOCOMOTIVES.
Comparison of the New York Central's
No. 900 and an English Flyer.

The question Of the relative speed Of
American and English passenger trains
has never been. and is never likely TO
be. decided conclusively. The average
speed of English passenger trains Is
higher than that on Continental rail-
roads, but whether or not ii is higher
than tina on American railroads gen.
orally. for like service. is a disputed
question. The run from London TO
Edinburgh. 400 miles, with three stops,
has been made in seven hours and
IS minutes, an average of more than SO
miles an hour. and the run from Ho-
boken to Buffalo over the Delaware,
Iackawanna & Western, distance of
407 miles. has been made. with four
stops. in even hours and 81 minutes,
an average of "a miles an hour, which
has been more than equalled by runs
for shorter distances on the New York
Central. Recently a comparison OF
American and English express engines
has been made between the well-known
locomotive, No. e99 Of the Central, n
the Worcester. which makes the u
between London and Exeter on the
Great Western railroad Of England.
The cylinders Of the two engines are
precisely the same I'm dimensions. 19 by
"a inches. The weight of the English
engine is 107. 900 pounds; that of the
American engine is 124. 900. The diam
eter Of the drive wheels is larger for
the English engine, but the boiler pres
sure Of the American engine is greater.
The speed of the two engines is so
nearly the same that there is only a
fraction Of a miles difference in a run
as long as that from New York city to
Albany. The statement is made by
English engineers that in a comparison
between the two crack locomotives a
preference is 10 be given TO the Eng
lish on account Of the grades, which
are heavier on the railroad over which
IL runs than along the east bank OF
the Hudson; but, on the other hand,
the weight Of the American locomo-
tive and the train drawn is greater.
and. moreover, the roadbed of English
railroads Is much more substantial
than that OF American lines as a rule.
In outward aspect. at least. the typical
American locomotive Is far superior TO
its English riyal. II is a thing of beau
~. an ornamental, attractive. symmet-
rical piece OF machinery. very much
more elaborate and very much more
seemly than its English rival.

businesslike sense. when charities are
wisely administered
Plans for the relief Of the depend
ent are good only when they act as an
agency To encourage the masses Of
humanity toward self help rather than
TO make the easier the descent below
the level that marks the boundary be-
tween those who ran take care OF them
selves in this world and those whom
the world has to take care Of. The
questions involved in the right methods
OF dealing with those for whom the
public has to care are among the most
difficult which the modern-day social
order presents. Nothing Is more de-
moralizing, in any community or n
state, than the wrong administration Of
a system OF charities.
The readers OF the Standard have
been made acquainted with the work
and plans and methods Of the society
in Butte. As we understand IL. the
Associated Charities is an organization
which has sought 10 make itself ac-
q~uainted with wise means and which
resolutely follows. in it's administra-
tion. the systems hat have been tested
and approved in cities where charitable
work is older than II is In Butte and
where experience teaches lessons that
are of the highest value. Working in
this way, the Associated Charities de-
serves well OF the people of Butte. 1t
needs a certain equipment for the
proper fulfilling of its mission. 1t had
nothing TO begin with; II has been
compelled 10 appeal TO the public and
10 men of means; II has, i'm instances at
least. met liberal responses.
1t gives the Standard pleasure "a

is the gift OF w. a. Clark, whose gen
erous donation Of twenty thousand dol
lars for the building Of II is an act OF
benevolence which the society itself
and the citizens Of Butte will heartily
appreciate. II is an instance OF
thoughtful. generous and well-directed
charity, for which the people of Butte
owe thanks to Mr.. Clark. The posses
sion Of this Home-named for the late
Paul Clark. a son Of Mr.. Clark and a
lad whom Butte knew and admired
places the Associated Charities under
new and larger responsibilities, but
these. we have no doubt. the managers
Of the society will meet with good heart
and in a manner that win carry theil

AN ARMY A

Oh, comrades all.
Hear the toast l call,
As | stand with uncovered head;
For here's 10 the man
Who the confiCt began.
And here's TO the boy that bled!
Though he didn't fight long,
Yet his sword arm was strong.
And he'll be such a long time cead!
when life's at high tide
And the sweet world is wide,
But a hero born and bred,
Goes glad to the front
Through the fierce battles brunt.
Where a foarsome death is sped;
But a hero true
Was the brave boy I'm blue,
And-hem be such a long time dead!
He was but a lad
With n boys heart glad.
In MANY a case, It's said.
But disease and the foe.
Alike, as We know,
lie faced with u~nhending head,
And he fen with a smile,
So praise him awhile,
For he'll be such a long time dead,
when the autumn breeze
Means sad through the trees.
And her tears for the summer are shed,
Then mourn for the man
Who the battle began,
And whose life. with the summer, has fled
For he died for the right,
In the thick Of the fight,
And he'll be such a long time dead!
And when drum beats loud
And the shouts Of the crowd
To praise for the victors are wed,
Then mingle a tear
With a right good cheer
For the man who was conquered instead
Though his fame will live long.
Yet we owe him the song,
For he'll be such a long time dead!

speaker In yesterdays papers. "are not

iticians at the head OF the government"
The remark sounds as IL IT might have
been made in Washington. but II was not.
II is part of General Weyler's speech in
the senate at Madrid. II merely goes TO
show that the mistakes in the Cuban
campaign were not all on one side.

It Is said that Spain deeply deplores her
failure TO add q large number OF ships 10
her navy instead OF applying half of the
appropriations 10 her army. The reason
for this grief is not very forcible. II
SPANS navy had been larger her whip

OF those who have been bitterly assailed,
Il should be determined whether politics,
