Obituary..

Miss Jennie Thompson was born
February 26, 1869, in Chickasaw coun-
ty, Iowa, and died March 20, 1899, a
few days over so years OF age. She
was the second daughter of Thomas
and Jennie Thompson. When she was
twelve years of age her father died,
leaving herself, her sister and mother
to care for the family. During the
past fifteen years, ungrudgingly and
faithfully has she labored in the best
families in the city, her sole care and
anxiety being to provide for her moth
er and family. She was always kind,
ladylike, obliging, true and worthy
of these beautiful lines by Alice Carey:
True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Ofgreat things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness,
And in spite Of the fancies Of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as Kindness.
And nothing SO royal as truth.
Jennie was member of the Luther
an church and a most exemplary one.
The interment was in Chickasaw coun-
| ty beside her father whose remains
have rested there since July 1881.
The sympathy of the public was
shown by the:sorrowful faces at the
family home at her furneral, for which
kindly sympathy aud words Of comfort
the mother and family desire to re-
turn their grateful acknowled

The Cresco Band went to Saratoga
on Wednesday to assist their local
band in concert and report a big
time, hospitable people and a rather
chilly ride. The hall was filled and
everybody seemed delighted with the
program which consisted of selections
by both bands, violin solos by Mr..
John Kakac, a delightful song by
four little girls and recitations by
Clarence Looms. Saratoga people
have every reason to be proud of their
band which is doing faithful work
under Prot. Tonolli, and should lose
no opportunity to aid the boys in
every way. The Saratoga band take
this means to thank their friends for
their liberal patronage and the Cresco
band for their aid.

Usage, March 20. The jury brought
in a verdict ag Ainst j. b. Sheehanf for.
making false entries in the treasurer's
books to cover q shortage in his ac-
counts with the county.
The above item of news was flashed
over the wiers the first of the week.
When the news of the destruction of
the books Of the Treasurer of Mitchell
county was sent out, the PLAIN
DEALER predicted that J. B. Sheehan
was the guilty party. That any one
shonld under the circumstances have
doubted his guilt, shows the credulity
of man. At this writing we are not
advised of the sentence Of the court.

Resolved, That the silver republicans
of the city of Butte in convention assem-
bled place no ticket in the field, believing
that the ends of good local government
can thereby be best conserved.
Resolved hat we condemn in I'M
measured terms the action of the silver
republican members Of the Sixth legis-
lative assembly in proving traitorous to
the trust reposed in them during the re-
cent session of the legislature in the selec-
ton of a senator to succeed the Hon Lee
Mantle, who was Endorsed by u party

a silver republican has been Endorsed by

REPUBLICAN N.

At the head of our editorial columns to-
day will be. found the platform of resolu-
tons adopted by the republican party.
1t is a platform strong in all it's parts,
and relates to the issues directly involved
in the city campaign. 1t wisely declares
that no national question is in issue in
the present contest for good local govern
'ment, but that matters which directly
concern the taxpayers of this city are of
Paramount importance at this time. 1t
makes vigorous reference to the condi-
ton of affairs in this city and it's plea for
honest government is one that will meet
the unqualified approval of all good citi-
zens.
Without introducing any question not
pertinent to the pending contest, it recog-
nizes the good work of the national ad-
ministration in conducting the Spanish
American war to a successful conclusion,
and pays a splendid tribute TO the soldier
boys from Montana who are defending
the flag in the Philippines. It bespeaks
for them proper recognition in the walks
of civil life, and was followed by the good
faith Of the convention in the nomination
of Mr.. Calkins for the office of treasurer.
The action of the republicans is in
marked contrast with that of the demo-
Gratis. The latter threw bouquets at the
boys in the field. and waxed eloquent
over the unwritten horrors Of embalmed
beef, but nominated for office none of the
heroes whom they %applauded. On the
they will do all in their power
to defeat Mr.. Calkins. who was as brave
a. soldier as ever risked his life to sustain
the honor of his country in the Philippine

IS YOUTH A CRIME ?

Butte Miner: Alexander the Great died
az the age of 50, after having conquered
the world. Napoleon was emperor of
france at 80. Alexander Hamilton was
secretary of the treasury at 81. and was
a national figure long before that time.
And William Jennings Bryan was the
national leader of the de1nocrat tic party
he was SO. The most representative
ticket presented for the suffrage of the
voters of Butte in years is headed by John
n. Kirk against whom the only charge
that can be brought is that he is young.
1t is too bad that Mr.. John N. Kirk
couldn't have been born sooner. 1t would
nave robbed the Anaconda Standard of
the only issue it has been able to find for
this campaign. But then Mr.. Kinks
youth is one of the things that will i'm
prove with age. In that respect Mr..
Kinks youth differs from the wisdom of
some Of the people who are fighting him
on account of it.
When, since the days of Herod, did
youth become a crime?

men in the city of Butte who are from
time to time in red ink. in the very nature
of things, n doubtless a large majority
| of the noble men and women who toll for
a livelihooG-who earn their bread in the
sweat of their brows-are in red ink a
goodly portion of the time, if they try to
live as human beings should live. The
Anaconda Standard may learn to it's sor-
row, when election day rolls around, that
there are more red ink accessories in
Butte than it ever dreamed of.
Of coercion and bulldozing in political
affairs, but the time will speedily come in
the state of Montana when such repre-
hensible methods will be most vigorously
rebuked. Thousands of men have been
compelled to pass under the rod, stife
thinking capacity with which a just God
endowed them, merely because they were
in red ink. Usually the handouts are
affixed in a private interview, III which
the writing victim is compelled to capt..
ulate or be ruined, but in this campaign
the Standard nails "red ink to it's mast
head as a menace to those whom it would
control. 1t would stifle the conscience
and destroy freedom of speech, by hold
ing aloft the skull and cross-bones draped
in red ink
Out upon such rotten politics. Tactics
of this type indicate what the Butte pub
lie MAJ expect in the future if the demo-
cratic party is permitted to win the forth
coming election in this city. Should such
a calamity take place this municipal gov
will be in red ink for a long time
to come.

AN AMUSING FEATURE.

One of the most amusing features Of
the city campaign is the effort of the
Anaconda Standard to introduce the sill
YER question as an issue. With equal
propriety the devil might put in his time
reDrovine sin. The fact is, silver could
have no worse enemy in any form than
the Anaconda Standard.
1t advocated the political policy of the
national silver leaders last fall up to a
certain point, when it betrayed the silver
men as cold bloodedly as a pirate could
cut the throat Of his victim. And when
the election We; finally won in this state
or false prctence, with the assistance of
Doodle and coercion, the Standard-right
en- the eve of the senatorial election,
where silver was directly in issue-edi-
torially repudiated the free coinage ratio,
and took grounds on that question fully
in line with the views of the single stand
ard advocates.
With this record, added TO the fact that
the silver question has nothing to do with
the proper or improper administrat ion Of
local affairs in Butte, the effort of the
Standard to make it an issue is, to say the
least, amusing.

Republican Resolutions.

At the threshold of the city's cam
paign. we, the delegates of the republican
party, in convention assembled, con-
graduate the party upon the harmony
and unanimity of all republicans in a
united effort to redeem this city from the
rule and misrule of democracy; n sub =
nit for your consideration the following
resolutions:
That the eX~igencies of the situation de-
mand the earnest cooperation of all good
citizens in the election Of men to public
office whose ability and reputation in this
community guarantees the faithful dis
charge of every duty imposed upon them,
and who will jealousy guard the inter-
ests Of our people.
That in the interest of labor and good
government we demand that the affairs
of this city and its officers shall not be
dominated or controlled by any corporate
power; and in conformity to the tradi-
lions of the republican party we demand
that wages be maintained at a high
standard; and, further, that no employe
of the city government be paid his age
in deprecated warrants, and that he be
not assessed for the benefit of any po-
litical organization.
upon inhabitants of this city as notori-
Gus violation of the law; and we further
record our condemnation Of the eXtrava-
CANT and improvident expenditure of the
large revenues collected from the people
of this city, for which no adequate pro-
lection is afforded against the ssaults
of road-agents and thugs, n depreda-
tons of housebreakers and thieves, who
rob the people of what little Is left after
the visit of the taX-gatherer, under the
present and past democratic administra-
TONS; nor is the faithful expenditure of
such revenues observable in the proper
care Of the streets and avenues of this
city, or improvement of sanitary condi-
tons.
That the interest of the taxpayers,
the upbuilding of the city, and the pro-
tettion of the homes and fireSides Of our
people imperatively demand retrenchment
and reform in the administration of the
affairs of this municipality, and the
faithful expenditure and accounting for
the large revenues of the city.
That the protection of the interests
of this community as a whole is a para
mount issue in the city campaign, and
we unhesitatingly condemn any effort to
convert the machinery of the city gov
into a vehicle for the financial
and political ambitions of any man or set
of men.
That while we recognize the fact that
no issue of a national character is in
volved in the struggle for honest, eff
cient and faithful government in the city
of Butte, as republicans we desire to
express our admiration and approval of
the course pursued by he national ad-
ministration in conducting the Spanish
cessful conclusion to the credit of Ameri-
can arms n in handling the problems
growing out Of that conflict to the last

It was really too bad for the silver re-
down by the side of the Anaconda Stand
ard and help it chew peanuts during the
campaign. But the fact is, the party ac-
cepted an invitation of that kim last fall
and sat down on a tack. If the party is
compelled to do business in red ink, it
will refrain from hat sort of a tack tick
in the future.
