WHO CAN ANSWERS

1t is too amusing, altogether too
amusing, to notice the gravity and hor-
rified expression Of the San Francisco
press over the announcement Of the
fact that poor mortal has been ar
rested for selling and redeeming lot
terry tickets, while at the same time
on the page opposite that on which is
recounted the awfulness of the arrest
ed party's crime, there are strung out
columns of lottery advertisements, of
drawings past and to come. of induce
ments to buy, and glittering rows of
tempting figures prefaced by dollar
marks setting out what prizes may be
won.
Who is the more guilty, the poor
devil who sells a lottery ticket and then
redeems it when it wins, or the press
that advertises in alluring form the
fact that the same fellow has lottery
tickets to sell? Is it possible to ex-
plain this puzzle?
Why should two police officers of San
Francisco disguise themselves, as two
did last week, enter a lottery dealers
place, present tickets drawing prizes,
offer to buy other tickets, and then ar
rest the fellow for aiding and abet-
ting a lottery scheme" and fail to ar
rest publishers in the self same city
who openly and unconcernedly adver-
tise in their papers the fact that the
very man arrested has lottery tickets
for sale, publish lists of his drawings,
columns of his announcements,
and glowing stories of the fortunes he
disburses by lottery?

much Of the talk in the peace
conference which is beginning business,
at The Hague, remains to be seen. That
we shall not get much is probable, un-
less a radical revision of the confer
ence programme is made at the outset
the plan Of the managers calls for
secret sessions. 1t will strike the
American public as a ridiculous thing
that the alleged benevolent plans of
the car for the benefit Of the world
should require discussion behind closed
doors.
II the sessions at The Hague are Sc
cret, it is settled that some matters in
which a mighty public throughout the
world has interest will be kept quite
out of sight. At last weeks discus
sion of peace propositions, at the Au-
ditorium meeting in Butte, the fact was
brought out that the cars invitation

large a percentage Of civilized peoples
these colonists are. Some of these
want a hearing.
There is long abused Poland, for in
stance; many of the children of that
once glorious fatherland, now living in
America, have issued an address to the
American people in which they set
forth well-founded grievances. They
realize that the doors of The Hague
congress are shut against them-they
want to know whether the American
commissioners will present their cause

subjects of Germany, as the result of
the Franco-Prussian war, in 1871
would like to have The Hague congress

There are plenty of colonists who feel
that their present condition is an I'M
warranted restraint. They believe that
before rules for peace are laid down
those who are not prepared to accept
the present condition of sovereignty
that is forced upon them ought to be
heard. None of these colonists, under
the terms of the CALL are going to gel
hearing at The Hague; it remains te
be seen whether the Representatives OF

congress will mako the case for these
colonists worse than ever.

"THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE"
Local Talent Made Distinct Hits - A
Creditable Performance.


.oThe Triumph of Love-" produced hy'
local talent under the direction of Mrs.
Elizabeth Vance Neumayer, was given
at the Grand opera house last night
and was in every way success, bar
ring a few slight bitches and forgotten
lines. AS a whole the performers ac-
quilted themselves creditably and in
several instances distinct hits were
made. The house was crowded and
every one seemed well pleased with the
entertainment and the players. The Ii
bretto of the operetta is the work of
Mrs. Neumayer. The music has been
culled from various sources and in
cludes gems from operas, ballads and
old German airs, all woven together in
a charming arrangement of plot and
harmony.
The story, which is a pretty one, tells
of the efforts of three goddesses-Hon-
ora, Fortuna and Amorita-to reform
gay young nobleman. Love, of course,
was triumphant and while Jack
Thomas, as the nobleman, seemed to
appreciate the efforts Of all the beauti-
full goddesses to win him, he success
fully stood them off until he fell a vic
tim to the charms of Amorita, Mrs.

Is 1t the End?

HIS time it may be go; the
purport of Manila bulletins cur
ing the past tWenty-four hours
is that, for good and all, Aguinaldo IS
ready to confess that he has lad
enough of hopeless fighting.
Yesterday morning, after the 5: and
ards regular edition had gone to press,
a special dispatch received at this Office
said that the Aguinaldo cabinet held a
meeting at San Isadro, just before the
Americans captured the place, and that
at this meeting it was concluded to
send a commission TO General Ots, TO
inform him that the terms Of mis- proc
iamation are accepted. There was con-
siderable campaigning yesterday on the
part of our scouting parties, but the
dispatches of this morning, as they are
received up to the hour of this writing,
all strengthen the bulletins which fore
told the appearance presently of the
Aalinaldo commissioners in Manila
with offers to submit to the terms an
nounced by General Otis.

nth toe many people the rule is

happens because Kansas has
been the home of a good many isms: it
is a commonwealth where radical no.
tions in politics are apt to find fruitful
soil. But let US not forget the first
steps taken toward making our repub-
lie permanently great by the Kansas

the North they We're denounced by
some millions of timid people as hot
headed disturbers, but it is history that.
before this country was five years older,
the whole North moved up to the Kan
sas standard of radcalism.
You will find it to be true, almost
without exception, that when any great
movement is on or any significant ques-
ton up, in this country Kansas is
pretty sure-however large the number
of its ''crazy enthusiasts"-to be rep
resented by a first-ratte man. That is
true at this moment, of our undertaking

the recent military service, has brought
distinction to his state.

He Keeps 1t Up.

q FTER all, ex-speaker Reed is
! clever. Two or three days ago
the Standard quoted one or two
of his phrases given out in England
soon after his arrival there. The En-
glishmen hardly knew what to make of
it when Mr.. Reed remarked that he
does not care to silt in the peace con-
gress because he does not feel at home
in a deliberative body Not catching
the drift of the criticism of Reed
methods that has been rife in this coun-
try. the Englishmen wondered what
representatives must be.
Some of the parting shots which Mr.
Reed took at the administration just
before he announced his intention to
retire from politics have been heard in
England. For instance, they are quot
ing in London the remark made by Mr..
Reed in Washington TO some of his re-
publican friends--he said that "he had
been knocking congressional extrava-
gance in the head in order that nonsV

in its turn, the English press has taken

side he exclaimed: why, dash it, !

they choose so to regard it, at the whole
coterie of mutual-admiration editoria
talent in London. 1t might have re.
suited in excluding Mr. Reed from ever

But that isn't the way Reeds remark
worked. He opened the way to the dis
cussion of a wide range of questions
concerning newspapers, and his name
is linked with columns of talk in the
London press. Evidently the former
speaker knows how to be his own ad

n HORE or less interest is taken by
M the Butte public in the antics
! by which the opponents of
Mayor Mccarthy are aiming to prevent
the confirmation of those whom he is
ready to nominate for places in the

All that is needed by the opposition
in order to queer combinations is to
have member missing. and that is a
process so simple that eight inmates of
any idiot asylum could easily be
trained to carry it through. Mayor
Mccarthy is a democrat, and the demo-
cratic members in the council practi-
cally have shown their willingness to
stand by him Most Of the republicans

afternoon, eleven republicans went

assembly while only five have done sc

horse play is that Mayor Mccarthy car

puts the blockaders on record, so much
the better for his side.
