paper to advise the republican members
of the city council to keep aloof from
democratic entanglements. in the future
interests of the republican party. If po-
litical questions are to influence their

extent their first concern in that line
should be the welfare OF the party they

The Inter Mountain is Of the opinion

the matter of making his appointments.

pei the republican party to share in the
responsibilities of the executive branch

mayor is not permitted to name his as
sistants in the executive departments, he
cannot be held TO a responsibility for the
non-performance of duty on the part Of
his subordinates. If assistants are forced
upon him through republican, influences,
the republican party must share in
whatever criticism may attach to his ad-
ministration in the future, when the ros-
ter of unfulfilled pledges is made up.
1t would be good politics for the repub-
,ican members Of the city council to in
~terfere as little as possible with the NOM

the interests Of the public can be protect

position of ore wing of the democratic

should not lead to the defeat Of the may

their personal fitness for Office is not in

or defensive, with either wing of the
democratic party is wretchedly poor poll

SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE.

Pittsburg Times: Squire Henry Grelle
of BeltzhOOver, is attracting some atten-
ton as a magistrate. He administers
justice impartially in his homely way,
and while some of his decisions may not
be according to the books, still they car
ry the force of originality. Squire Grel1e
dose not like lawyers. He believes that
they stir up too much trouble by drag
ging musty old books into his office and
insisting that he follow the presidents
they dig from them. He has the full APP
prevail Of his constituents. His justice is
the sort that is equitable between man
and man, and not that misnamed stuff
that depends on the tcchnicalities Of law
books for a standing.
One Of Squire Grelle's early cases was
brought against a friend of his, who was
accused Of cruelty to animals. h man
had been bothered by a vicious dog, and
he shot at it. The bullet cut a piece off
it's tail, but did no further harm. The
trial attracted a large crowd. There was
conflicting evidence as to the dog. Some
Of the witnesses said it was a gentle ami
NAL, and others declared that it ought
to be killed.
II will reserf my decision until next
weeg," said the Squire, after he had
heard the testimony.
while he had the case under considera-
ton he made some inquiries in the neigh
borhood. He learned that the dog was a
bad one. Blu the manning Of it by de-
priving it Of part Of it's tail was IN
doubtedly a cruel act, and he did not see
how.he could get over that, ever to favor
his friend.
When the day came for him to give his
decision it was evident to the crowd that
had gathered in his office that he had
made up his mind. He called the defend
ant up.
"You admid shootin' this dog?" he
asked
Yes, I do, Squire, but that dog is
dot will do. Sid down." and he called
the ov ller of the dog Onward.
Your dog is a bad dog" he said to him.
mo, he isn't, Squire said the man;
hes as gentle AS"
Dot will do. Sid down. I haf my mind
made up. I fine the defendant 81 and
costs for shooting dot dog"
There was applause from the side OF
the room on which the friends of the dog
were gathered.
Order! Order" commanded the
Squire. 81 hat not vinished. l will fine
the defendant 81 and costs for shooting
dot dog, bud 1 will gift him Won more shot

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY,

1t is to be hoped that there is no
foundation in the rumor that a change
is contemplated in the public library that
will displace Mr.. Davies. That institu-
ton is the pride of the city, and it can
remain such only through the efforts Of
a librarian who is fully equipped by ex-
perience n education to properly
handle it's affairs. No one can question
the ability Of Mr.. Davies to maintain the
high reputation now enjoyed by that in
stitution, n no legitimate excuse for
his removal ear be found.
The position of librarian is not a politi-
cal one. 1t is an Office to which the prin-
ciples Of civil service should apply, and
adjudged from that standpoint Mr..
Davies will rate with the best. Politics
should not be permitted to displace a
man who has rendered such signal ser
vice to the public in a ~non-partisan po-
sition. Let Mr.. Davies be retained. With
an incompetent man as librarian, the in
~terests Of the institution would suffer,
and the money expended to maintain 1t
thrown away. Long years Of experience
will alone qualify a man to take charge
Of such an institution as the Butte public

mayor. That he did not so more fully
into details is explained by the fact that
his duties heretofore as city treasurer oc-
curied his time. Vet that official position
was one that ought to have given him a
wide knowledge of the scope and lilriita-
tions of the city government. and en-

this city. i
Incidentally, in passing. it may be well
to note that the mayor omitted the Gus
tomary reference made by incoming Of
ficials to the fact that they We're elected
on a platform of principles that pledged
this or that. and that, by the great horn

the people concerning them! Nc allusion,

and corrupt beef were the chief ingre-
the mayor confined his remarks to local
questions alone.

THE MAYORS INAUGURAL.

Mayor Mccarthy took his chair at the
head Of the municipal government last
night under somewhat unfavorable con-
Gitions. At the outset he was snubbed by
the outgoing y MI. Harrington,
who refused to be present to attend to
the customary function of introducing
his successor in office. This violation of
a Well established precedent, however,
has no political significance, both being
of the same party faith, but nay perhaps
be classed as a social innovation pleas
ing alike to both the retiring and the
incoming mayor.
The personal relations existing between
these two gentlemen, since the party Of
the first part collided with the clenched
digits of the party of the second part in
August, 1897, have been about as strained
as those of Mataafa and Malietoa Tanus
in Samoa. While it would have given evil
dence of breadth and ~magnanimity on
the part of the retiring official to ave put
in an appearance and performed the or
binary function Of introducing his sue
cessor, and thus given his successor an
opportunity to reciprocate by expressing
the hope that the new administration
would emulate the old and thus call down
upon it a perfect shower of bouquets, the
oversight must not be charged up to the
dereliction of either gentleman, inasmuch
as it is not customary for prominent
democratic leaders in this state to weep
on each others necks when there Is a
brickyard handy.
The address delivered by Mr.. Mccarthy
contains many points of interest. 1t is
more fruitful Of good promises than Of
of reform can be i~naugurated and car
ried out. 1t touches upon the question of
a good water supply with vigor, and
makes a number Of suggestions along
that line which every good citizen will in
dorse. The proposition to enlarge the
capacity of the fire department., and pro-
vide better quarters, Will meet general
approval. Too much consideration can
not be given the brave boys who are con-
stantly on the alert to protect this city
from appalling disasters by fire. The
pledges of reform in the police depart
ment are timely and well taken. If car
ried out to the letter they will reflect a
great deal of credit Upon the new mayor
and bring to him the cordial approval
and applause Of every reputable citizen
of Butte The public will De slow to be-
lieve, however. that additional police
men are at present required, provided
each meu,ber Of the force gives oonscien-
tious attention to the duties of his posi-
ton. The recommendations made a. "a

deposits of the Saarbruck district, the
action on the iron was made known in
a different way. The water in a short
time became badly discolored and unfit

the supply at the source was saturated
with carbonic acid, either free or as BIZ

Modern books, however rapidly they
may deteriorate from other causes. are
protected from b~ookworms by the chem
icals used in paper-making. Such, at
least, is the conclusion of DR.. Garnett,
who. after As years of service as keeper
of printed books at the British Museum,
is able to say that he has seen only one
bookworm, and that was impaired from
Crete.

of 10 tons-a striking proof Of the value
of roller bearings where their use is
practicable.

has been tested by h Walter, a
German chemist. The smallest and light

remained unchanged ven in it's most
rapidly rotated part; and in gaseous mix

The successful solution Of a veXing and
oft-tried problem is claimed by M. AL
bert Henry in his unsuitable and I'M
ca%psiZable boat. This has an inner hull,
which is much smaller than the outer one,
and the space between is perfectly tight,
forming an air-chamber, which is divided
into compartments by partitions. The
hoor of the inner hull is above the level
of the water. In the center is a lOngitud-
init opening through both hulls to the
water, forming a well in which is.sus-
pended an adjustable center board of
sheet iron heavily weighted with lead. All
water entering the vessel scape through
the opening. In late severe trials in

was tipped about 80 degrees, when 1t

When the gallant Tenth Pennsylvania
Volunteers reached California on their return
from most successful and bravely fought
campaign in the Philippines the United
States was astir from ocean to ocean and
lakes to gulf in eagerness TO express their
appreciation aud admiration Of the return
ing heroes. San Francisco bubbed with
spirit of patriotism unequaled ON any pre-
ceding occasion since the days of the Re-
bellion, and the receptions and ovauons
accorded the heroes as they Travelled across
the continent to their homes in the east were
of a most enthusiastic character, eliminating
in demonstration at Pittsburg that excelled
in warmth of loyalty and admiration any
attempt ever made by the patriotic people of
that city. When this tour Of glory was in
progress thousands of people who could not
find it convenient to reach the path of
triumphal march were smitten by feeling Of
deepest regret that they, too could not be
