man understanding to the Standards
own declaration-surreptitiously and
criminally demonetized silver, and made
1t possible for the gold men to get into
the saddle. This morning the Standard
accredits the illness of Mr.. Sherman, not
to the fact that the old gentleman is rs
years of age. but to the following COM
bination of circumstances:
But Mr.. Sherman has grown old re-
Gently at a pace that is not accurately
measured by months and weeks. In his
case it Is the collapse of courage and of
AMBITION, the cravings of disappoint-
ment, the recollection, constantly recur-
ring, that he was made the victim of a
coarse politicians selfish ambition and
that he was fairly thrust out of the SEN

days. in order to satisfy the greed of a
brutal upstart in national politics.
J." In concluding it's m with the
statement that "John Sherman rendered
splendid service to his country" the
Standard carries out the sublime thought
of the poet who said: ITO err is human,
to forgive divine" Having forgiven the
author of the crime of 1873. and accusing
his alleged enemies in public life of being
brutal upstairs, at a time when 1t is try

lican to the office of mayor in this city
will prevent congress from remonetizing

TWO WAYS OF DOING THINGS.

1t is gratifying to note that the ire
of Helena, according to the Independent,
has been happily averted by placing a
stub train on the run between Logan and
Garrison. When Butte was placed on
the main line of the Northern Pacific, on
account of the commercial Importance Of
this city, our neighbor over the range
felt that disaster had marked it for its
own. Fortunately, it's fears were ground
less, and all will sincerely congratulate
our sister city on securing the stub train.
1t was certainly a mistake for the good
people Of Helena to attribute any changes
made in the train schedules of the North
sern Pacific to anything else but a desire
to conserve the business interests of the
company. 1t was actuated by no dispo-
would not have put on the stub train be-
fore the Business Mems association of
that city had time to pass appropriate
resolutions.
The fact is, the capital city should rec
ognize the logic of the situation. Civil
pecially disastrous to a city. While Hell
ena is inhabited by thousands Of as good
persons as the sun ever shone upon,
many of the leading spirits of that COM
munity have waged interminable war on
each other for years. They have chopped
at each other right and left, and the ros-
ter of broken banks is more ch~argeable
to intrigue and underhanded processes
among rival interests than to the actual
financial strain of the times.
Whenever no opportunity to undermine
a bank presents itself, the people over
there enjoy themselves getting each other
indicted by grand juries. This affords
employment to the lawyers, who would
otherwise have to depend entirely on poll
tics for their munificent incomes. One of
the favorite vocations of the citizens of
Helena is the election of city councils
hat will override the statutes made and
provided, in order to break up organiza-
TONS of capital that nave been trying to
keep the town from going into compete
ton with Fort Benton for first place
among the has-beenS.
To discourage capitalists from further
investments in the town they also elect
mayors whose only qualification for Of
flee is the energy they have displayed in
running invested capital and putting
thumb-screws on the public enterprises
of progressive men. 1t is these things,
not it's lack of business opportunity, that
has placed Helena in a position where it
is saved from ruin only by running a stub
train from Logan to Garrison.
In Butte things are essentially differ
ent. No matter how much our citizens
pull hair in a. political way. our leading
men, without reference to their political
views, do all in their power to build up
and promote the business growth of the
city. Personal and political bitterness is
permitted to reach a point where the |
nose is amputated to spite the face. Cap
ital and its enterprises are given the glad
hand of fraternal welcome. It is encour-

THEN AND NOW.

The natural tendency of our demo-
cratic friends to indorse the public men
and measures of the republican party,
after the most bitter opposition, finds
another brilliant illustration in the dis
censure heaped upon Abraham Lincoln
by the democracy, during the dark days
of the civil war, John Sherman has posed
as a favorite target. During the period
of the resumption of specie payments,
the distinguished Ohioa was particu-
ed upon the new inancia order of things
as the %forerunner of national ruin, and
upon Mr.. Sherman as the messiah of evil.
But the times change and men change
with them, so it is written, and it is re-
freshing, as political matters go, to read
senator in the Anaconda Standard of this
morning:
He did his best in the days when he
dealt in a masterful way with the civil
wars finances and when he brought the
government back to the specie-payment
basis.
This tardy recognition of the ability of
the republican party to settle questions
growing out of a war, in a manner salts
factory to all the people, leads up to the
hope that sometime within the next
quarter Of a century the Standard, may
mellow down sufficiently to discover that
President Mckinley handled the Philip
pine question wisely and well. With equal
violence, but with more justice, Mr.. Sher-
man was assailed for the part he played
in the decentralization of silver. His
course was denominated a crime. The
Anaconda Standard has branded Mr..
Clark as a criminal with no more energy
than it displayed in roasting Mr.. Sher-

were true that gentleman should have
been expelled from the senate of the
United States.
Yet, when he finally resigned from that
body, to accept a abine position, and
was no longer able to wage war on silver,
the STANDARD saw in his retirement a con-
spiracy to ruin the veteran statesman.
1t flew to his rescue, just as If the crime
of 1873 a not been committed. 1t up

was holding a festival.

and the assumption is one of the most
dangerous to the community that could
be made, for it revolutionizes the estab-
lished rules of party procedure and leads
to the disintegration of political parties.
In the nature of things. political organ
izations are necessary to the we'll being
of the country, for through them the
people must look for public policies that
will conserve the ends of good govern
ment-local, state and national.
A rule that would permit a city con-
v%ention' representing but a small fraction
of a political organization, to read out
OF the party men who have been en-
dorsed by higher bodies Of the same
political faith, and to whom objection is
made merely on the grounds Of personal
dishonesty, would disrupt and destroy
every political organization in the land.
Should such a condition arise it would
place the control of public affairs wholly
in the hands of dishonest schemers,4 who
have personal ends to serve. and the
masses would be robbed of the beverage
now possessed by them through the
medium of duly organized political
bodies founded on certain principles that
are deemed advantageous to the whole.
Thai di~sorganization and chaos which
would ruin the republic, and convert it
into a feudal system Of petty t~yrants, if
universally adopted, has been attempted
by the hill democracy in this city with a
view to the mastery and control of
municipal affairs.
Party membership is a matter which
each individual must settle for himself.
The man who believes in the principles
of a party cannot be eliminated from
membership. though his personal acts
may be distasteful to those in control of
it's machinery. That is a settled prin-
ciple in political ethics, and even the
learned and classical pen that scintillates
through the readable editorial columns
of the esteemed Anaconda Standard will
not attempt to seriously controvert it.
It's contention that the Clark wing of the
democracy has been eliminated from the
party falls to the ground. and in the
place of it arises the assumption of an
authority that ought to serve as a danger
signal to every man who believes in the
liberty of conscience, the freedom of po-
litical action, and the God-given right Of
the people to rule. ~ F..

The democratic handicap, to which the

the hill democracy is trying to pull over
the eyes of the voters.

an exact statement of the ratio
is not a vital factor in silver's

Jumped From a Car.

AS the Maricopa 81 Phoenix train
was returning from Tempe at IL O'Clock
on Thursday night and was entering
the yard, man was seen to plunge
forward from the top of freight car
alongside the main track. In falling
he struck the driver of the engine of
the excursion train. What became of
him then could not be
seen, but the train was stopped as soon
as possible. The man was found
lying beside the track in semi-censci-
GUS condition. His left arm was badly
msngled below the elbow and was al
most severed. He was also badly cut
on the right of side of the head. It was
not thought at first that he would sur
vive his injuries, but an hour after he
had been taken to the Sisters hospital,
the attending physician said that he
did not think his wounds would prove
fatal. The man said that his name WAS
Patrick O'Briec and that
he lived in Tucson, but had
lately been working in the Garcia
mine. He is about 45 years old. He
could not explain his fall from the
freight car and did not explain why
be was there at all. 1t ia supposed that
be was asleep and, half awakened. was
frightened by the noise of the APP
preaching train, and fell forward. He
died at O'Clock in the morning.-

Laruer Cars and Locomotives.

The quick doubling of the size of
cars and the hauling power of engines:
beneficial as it has been on the finan-
cial eide in reducing cost of transpor-
tation, has greatly simplified technical
problems of railroads. Not so much
is heard nowadays of the 'car famine"
and of the inability of the railroads to
blocked the movement of cars on some
yards or terminal tracks. says
the Financial Chronicle. These
things occur but there is
mere immunity from them than some
years ago, and yet the growth in tor
mage moved has been, If any thing,
more noteworthy than in the apparent
capacity of the railroads to meet the
large demands for transportation.
this country has increased about 81 per
cent; the mileage 38 per cent; the num-
Der of cars 80 per cent and the number
of locomotives q per cent.
The percentage of increase in car
and locomotive equipment, as measur-
ed either by the mileage or by the ton
mage, carried, will continue to fall, for
there is nothing to indicate that the
limit weight and size of equipment has
yet been reached. Locomotives of 100
tons and cars of fifty tons capacity are
used where the track has been prepar-
ed for them, and their use is likely to
be steadily extended. For by increas-
ing the capacity of the
twice as many
tons of freight are moved
by the same number OF trains, with
the same crews; passed on the same
sidings and switched in the yards with
out increasing the track room, so that
the operating problem of moving a
it be single or double track
line, is greatly simplifed. Moreover,
The same rouudhouses accommodate
he larger engines, and the same shop
facilities answer all demands for re-
pairs.

they were ignorant of the signals. Doty
then asked them to hand him his LIANT

CHILDREN IN DANGER
They Persist In Climbing On the
Trains-SuffIcient Warning Has
Been Extended Them-"keep
OFF,.

There is certain crowd of Mexican
children who hang around the Santa
Fe yards and it is only question of
time when the undertaken will be called
upon to bury them or the doctor called
to amputate some Of their limbs. This
practice has been carried to the extent
that the Santa Fe company was COM
PEELED to place keep off, signs on all
of their engines. This is done merely
to protect themselves. The switch
men cannot be expected to
look after the youngsters,
who, through the negligence of the
parents. are being exposed to such
dangerous. a. ''.-
Yesterday as the Mexican Central
passenger train pulled out
there were eight of them, ranging in
ages all the way from Eve to fifteen
year 9, tried to board 1t. It looked'for a
time as ifsome of them certainly would
get crippled or killed but, forum stely,
they escaped.
This is an every day occurrence at
this point and while the Mexicsns are
using the Santa Fe yards for q play
ground, the American children are
seen to have the same dangerous sport
around the Southern Pacific trains.
The switchmen here do all they can to
prevent the children from exposing
themselves to such dangers, but, as al
ready stated, the switchmen cannot be
expected to do it all.
