Some Of these men belong In Butte's
substantial business and professional
circles. Where are they at? They are
simply left high and dry. II isn't in
their dream to let W. A. Clark hitch
them to his mongrel monstrosity; they
don't intend to have their politics die
tated by Mr.. Clark's retained popu-
lists: they are not proposing to operate
with the il-sssorted. out-for-revenue

exactly want to vote for the democratic

approve the knavery that has lately
come TO a head in the shape OF the
Internationally Clark tickets In Sill

republicans who are in the class we
have described will. after taking the

A Career of Disaster.

NE of this weeks news items
announced the death OF A. Oakley
Hall. The name probably failed
to attract the notice of eight out Of ten
OF the readers Of the newspapers OF the
Countrywide item was a formal little
affair hardly worth needing. Most Of
those TO whom the name of Hall was
familiar probably wondered when they
read the news OF his death: doubtless
the first passing thought was one OF
surprise-the world probably a sup
posed that Hall died years ago
a. Oakley Hall was a central figure
in one OF the most gigantic conspiracies,
followed by the most sensational expo
sure, known In the annals OF the United
States. Just twenty-seven years q
william NJ. Tweed was arrested on a
civil suit brought by Charles O'Conor
In the name OF the people Of New York.
Then followed the downfall OF the in
famous Tweed ring. The men most
conspicuously Identified with II were
John T. Hoffman. governor OF New
York; A. Oakley Hall, mayor OF New
York city: Peter Il. Sweeney. city treas

public works.

Current Comment.
Alaska. A~bominabie Governme,

From the Portland Oregonian.
Nothing could be conceived less worthy
OF the name of government than the sys-
TEN provided for Alaska in 1884. and
which continues. not because IL accom-
plishes or can accomplish any good, but
for the reason that ~ provides well-paid
political offices and that IL has never
been suspended. A governor without pow
er to govern, a court without jurisdiction.
a marshal without authority. a system
without definite lawsuits Is a fair sum-
mary of the so-called Alaskan govern
ment. Established at sitka without the
means OF contact with the white and ma
tive populations scattered along the coast,
II is wholly isolated from Alaskan life and
interests. and is utterly and completely
useless. Indeed, IL II worse than useless.
since IL stands as an obstruction to the
creation OF a better system.
