II REASON FOR 1T.

AS some Of Jul democratic friends
~foresee the downfall of liberty in the
action of the government in suppressing
the documents issued by the Anti-Impe-
realistic League, the statement made by
the postmaster general may be in order
at this time. That official says.
These pamphlets actually incite to mru
tiny, and it would be utterly unjustifiable
to permit their circulation among the
soldiers lin he Philippines. Their circu-
lation is a movement to induce the SOL
dle1ts to disobey orders and in effect to
embarrass and resist the government in
whose service they are engaged.b4s = \
Not only are they designed to incite to
mutlny the American soldiers is those
islands. but also to foment and encour-
age irsurrectlon on the part of the Fill
pinos themselves. Such seditiousz matter
as is now estopped might have aineffect
IN the forces we are now dealing with
that would be intellectually to their ad-
vantage. and certainly would tend to
stimulate and strengthen their already
weakening course. He not only attacks
the president and the government in the
most vlrulent language and disputes the
national policy, but also calls ON the
american troops to defy the government!
Certainly this government is empowered
to stop or check as it sees fit the eircula.
ton OF these seditious publications.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-05-06
THE SITUATION.

There seems to be no disposition on the
who are following the leadership Of the
official organ of the Clark wing of the
democracy, to recede from the position
they have taken to tie the mayors hands
and prevent him from carrying out the
duties imposed upon him by the law. The
Miner exultinely exclaims:
As the Miner understands the situation
there is no cessation Of hoStilfties nor even
an armistice between the mayor of Butte
and the city council. Everybody is man.
euverins for position.
Before the election everybody was ex-
pected, in the natural order of things. to
maneuver for position. But after the
election the mayor and aldermen ceased
came the custodians of the city, delegated
with the mission of serving no political
party, as such, but of dedicating their
best energies to he welfare of this mu-
nicipality. In the hope of compelling the
mayor to ~repudiate the platform upon
which he was elected, and forcing him to
select a legal adviser who is not distaste-
full to that paper, the Miner is doing all
that it can to encourage hostilities be-
tween the council and the head of the
executive department of the city govern
ment.
Coercion in a negative sense is no more
justiiable than coercion in an affirma-
tive sense. 1t is no worse to put a copper
collar around a mans neck and lead him
to the polls with a chain, than it is to
stand over the mayor, who was elected
by the opposition, with a razor ready to
sever his jugular vein if he refuses to do
that which may be contrary to his sense
of right and propriety in the adninistra-
ton of the duties Of his Office. The Miner
should be consistent enough to at least
demonstrate with it's friends when they
would do the which it has always so Wig
orously condemned in its enemies.
If the Miner is correct in its statement
that Everybody is maneuvering for po-
s%ition," it IS a situation that should
speedily come to an end. If matters have
reached a point where the aldermen and
the mayor are moving on each others
works, so to speak, like contending
armies in the field, seeking technical ad-
vantages through strategic movements,
| and all that, it means that the next two
years Of city government will be a fail
ure. Good work on behalf Of the tax-pay-
ers of Butte, and consistent with the
growth ard prosperity Of our city, will be
impossible under. such conditions. And
it all grows out of the willingness of the
we'll meaning out misguided republican
aldermen to acknowledge a higher allie
glance to the personal prejudices and
private interests of one faction Of the
democratic party than to the welfare Of
the people they were elected to serve.
