building of Butte and toward mabing

building Of Butte and toward making
this the greatest year in Battcs his
tory. While the Standard still heli"v.s
that the democratic candidates for city
treasurer and police magistrate were
the better men for those positi ons, yet
it is free to say that Mr.. B. E, CalADs,
the treasurer-elect, and Mr.. J. C. Sui
Ivan, the magistrate-elect, are gocd
and worthy citizens who in all probab-
ility will make good officials.
Many Butte people were amused yes
terday at the efforts of the Miner and
the Inter Mountain to boast of partial
victory. While the combine saved some
thing from the wreck, it lost the main
fight which, VIGOROUSLY, was over the
the democratic city convention where
the resolutions repudiating Clark were
passed, the Butte Miner demanded that
Mr.. Mccarthy decline to run on that
platform. Mr.. Mccarthy refused to ac-
cede to the Miners demand, where
upon the Miner the next day declared
that if Mr.. Mccarthy persisted in run
HlllS Luz uillce vi SUCH d platform the
consequences must be on his own head
and he must be prepared to go down
to defeat. Then the Miner did every
thing possible to defeat Mr. Mccarthy
and the balance of the democratic
ticket. Mr.. Mccarthy stood on the
platform, and he was triumphantly
elected in spite of the Miners opposi-
ton.
The republican headquarters were
closed up yesterday, the committee
men expressing themselves as pleased
to save something, although acknowl-
edging that the office of mayor is bet
ter than all the rest of the ticket,
the mayor having the power CT ap-
pointing all the municipal officers.
The election of Mr.. Mccarthy proves
beyond doubt that the democratic
party in Butte can win in spite OF the
united opposition of all other parties and
factions. The victory was achieved
too, in spite of the fact that several
employees, after holding office for two
years under democratic rule, worked
actively at the polls against the sue
cess of the democratic ticket.

The Woman i'll the Case.

~THE miners riots at Hensen, Col,
have been traced to the fatal
gift of beauty possessed by
Miss Kitty Lawrence, poor but hon
est waitress. The telegraph dispatches
have neglected to give due prominence
to this feature of the case. Kitty is
not the gay old girl that Helen of
Troy is reported to have been. Kitty
says she has been attending strictly to
her own business, and an essential part
of that business, as she understands
it. is to be polite to all boarders IT
one of the Italian boarders miscon-
strued her civility into an indication of
love for him, that was not her fault
she should say not. When he propos-
ed marriage she gave him an emphatic
negative, and proceeded to inquire
whether he would take beefsteak pork
chops mutton chops, ham and eggs,
sausage or liver and bacon. The re-
jected italian told his countrymen that
the waitress had refused him on ac-
count of his nationality. This enraged
all of them, SO they decided that their
honor must be vindicated and that she
should pay the penalty with her life.
They exploded some dynamite on the
window sill Of Kitty's bedroom 1t
blew out that side Of the house, but
Kitty, crying out, ut never touched
me-" disentangled herself from the de-
bris of her bed and ran over to the
American miners, who vowed they
would do an unprecedented variety of
things to the Italians. War was de-
clared, and the authorities concluded
to take hand in the game themselves.
The sheriff was unable to cope with
the Italians and he called upon the
governor, asking that he send the mill
itia to his aid. More than 100 Italian
miners, all heavily armed, intrenched
themselves, ready to shoot anybody
who might come near them and threat
ening all sorts of violence to the au-
thorities. Upon the appearance Of the
troops, the Italians surrendered end
were placed under arrest The moral
of all this seems to be that it d3esn't
pay to be polite to some people.

GETTING "PUSSONAL."
Bad Split in Boston Democratic
Party-Republican Pleased.

farty-hopuDnCan FleaScO.
Boston, Dec. 1.-THE split in the Demo-
cratic party in this city, which has re-
suited in bitter recrimination being
hurled back and forth between the two
sides. has suddenly changed the aspect
of the present municipal campaign from
one of letharsy to warm and sensa-
tional one. Mr.. Murphy's manifesto
Tuesday night declaring his intention of
supporting the Republican nominee for
mayor. was answered yesterday by Mr..
Collins in such scathing terms that 1t
forced a rejoinder from the other side
last night. in which Mr.. Murphy was
equally bitter In his language. In the
lu.ters statement he accuses Mr.. Collins
Of being false to the Democratic party
in boiling Mr. Bryan last year. as well
as other regular party nominations in
years past. The fierce reply made by
Mr.. Collins has made the fight between
the two Democrats bitterly personal, so
that the situation at present seems a
serious one for the Democrats. while 1t
certainly seems highly satisfactory from
Il Republican standpoint.

Tuat method of telling trees has
been found by the lumnering COM

account OF the time required to fell

year the experiment of cutting down
the trees with saws was tried and was

There is another gain than that
of time and wages. 1t is in the
amount of timber saved on the stump.
Formerly it was common thing to
see all over a lot stripped of trees

the very best, both because it was
free from knots and because it was
the largest part of the tree in girth.

GERMANY TICKLED.
Likes the Way Mckinley Spoke in
His Message.

MS N10SsaKes
Berlin Dec. THE German govern
ment and press almost unanimously well
come President McKinley's message to
congress. Even the agrariap papers. al
ways opposed to things American.
grudgingly admit that the message is
fair and honest. The drift of private
comment is the same. In the lobby Of
the reichstag yesterday similar senti-
ments were expressed without reserve
by members Of every shade OF political
conviction. Emperor william had a
long consultation yesterday with Count
Won BuelOw. the foreign minister. and
expressed himself as very much pleased
with President McKinley'S attitude to-
ward Germany. 1t is also reported that
the emperor discussed the best mode of
giving official voice to the feelings of the
crown and the government.
Count Won Buelow authorized the AS
sociated Press to send to the United
States the following as his impression Of
the message:
Count Won Buelow regards the mes
sage as an enuncatiOn memorable in the
development of German friendship.
Inc warm tone IN Whlch the president
speaks of our mutual relations has Gre
ated here the best impression; and one
may be sure that the sympathies ex-
hibited by the president for Germany
are here sincerely reciprocated. PO-
litically everything between the two
countries is serene; and there Is nothing
that disturbs the entente cOrdiale.
Economically considered the contents
and tone of the message strengthen the
hope that the United States. with their
increasing exports to Germany. will
make fair concessions to German trade
and that the reciprocity negotiations will
be further conducted in friendly spirit
| to a good end"
The press particularly rejoices at the
announcement regarding alliances, de-
spite many previous asseverations to
J the same effect.
