Oh, the days we worked and the way we
worked
To hammer and saw and hack,
In making a chair in which no one would

A chair in which 10 n could possibly

Without a crick in his back.

by making Mr.. Clark's character an issue
in the city campaign of Butte?
Insofar as good government in Butte is
concerned, the question as to whether Mr..
Clark is a gentleman or a pirate cuts no
figure. He might be either without seri-
ously affecting the. administration of lcHal
affairs. Especially is this true when Mr..
Clark has placed no ticket in the field,
and will have no voice in running the city
whichever party WINS ~
Will the Anaconda Standard please in
form the public by what right it seeks to
make the personality of Mr.. Clark the
paramount issue OF this campaign. when
grave problems of local government, and
questions of concern to the taxpayers of
this community, are in issue?

WHERE IT BELONGS.

Whatever may be the merits or the de-
merits of the fight now being waged by
the Clark and anti Clark men in the
democratic party does not properly be-
long in a city campaign. While the cleo
ton of the democratic ticket, on IN anti
Clark platform, might incidentally aid his
enemies in the contest they have planned
to make in the senate chamber against
Mr.. Clark, by showing the trend of pub
lie sentiment, the question of that gentle
mans success or failure in the matter of
taking his seat as senator from Montana,
has nothing whatever to do with the ad-
ministration of the local affairs of this
city.
Let the democratic row be transferred
to Washington, where it belongs, if the
allegations of MI. Clark's enemies are
Let them make their fight against
him in the senate on the merits of the evil
dence they claim to have in hand. Why
should they betray a weakness by trying
to ''brace up the evidence of criminality
which they propose to submit to congress.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Through the action of the respective
conventions Of the administrations, and
silver republican parties the two wings
have gotten together in. the interests Of
good government, and will make a strong,
and vigorous fight for success in the mu-
nicipal campaign. The feeling was gen
eral among republicans that inasmuch as
no rational issue was involved in the city
election it was the duty of all good citi-
zens to cooperate in an effort to advance
the interests of Butte by taking it out
from under the ~blighting influence of
democratic control. '
When the goodfellowship and kindly
feeling existing between the two wings of
the republican party was supplemented
by a condition of local affairs calling for
Immediate reform, and the defeat of the
democratic party became a public neces-
sity, the lines of demarkation We're wiped
away and hands were joined in a common
cause. The ticket placed in nomination
is strong in all it's parts, and there is not
a mar on the roster of nominees who does
not challenge the most loyal support Of
a reunited republican party. Hereafter
we shall refer to the ticket in detail.
Suffice it to say in this connection that
it is a winning ticket, for aside from all
political considerations it invites the
earnest and sincere support of all good
citizens in other political organizations
who do not approve of the ring rule
which threatens this community. Thous-
ands of democrats and populists,l who
place honesty and integrity in public
office above the demands of Z the
dominant wing of the democracy will
vote the republican ticket and aid in:
winning a victory for clean government.
Never were the good people of Butte in
spired with more enthusiasm, never was
victory more certain, never will their
triumph at the polls rebound more to the
glory of the city and it's future growth.
Hurrah for the republican ticket!

SUCCESSFULLY STOOD THE EXAM
NATION.

Detroit Free Press: There is a good old
lady out Grand River avenue who prides
herself upon discrimination in giving of
charity. She will not listen long to one
OF the stock tales of woe, but is liberal in
giving when convinced that her gener-
osity IS deserved. A strapping fellow,
long of beard, but short of clothing, ap-
peared at her back door recently.
Did you ever have a fortune and lose
it? In other words, have you seen better
days?'
And she spoke like an old school
examiner.
No, num-; Use allus been poor"

thirteen children dependent on you?"

DEVOURED TOO HASTILY.

Detroit Journal: Tearing open the
missive the postman brought her, she de-
voured it's contents.
She thought, of course, it contained a
letter from her absent lover; but, in point
of fact, it contained poisoned butter
scotch.
What shall l do?" she moaned. per-
ceiving her terrible mistake.
Young people should not be so hasty in
affairs of the heart.

FOR GOOD

The work of the several political con-
yentions last Saturday demonstrated be-
yond a doubt the earnest and r~esolute
purpose of the law-abiding citizens Of
this city to make a united fight for good
local government. To protect the inan-
cial interests of Butte from despoilation,
to throw around the taxpayers of this
community the guardianship of an honest
oficiary, and to shield the name of our
city from obliquy and dishonor, co-opera-
ton on the part of our best citizens be-
came the imperative necessity of the
hour.
Similar conditions have arisen in many
cities, and like methods nave been adopt
ed to clear the municipal atmosphere and
bring to the people the inestimable benefits
of an honest administration of public af-
fairs. To place the city of Butte in the
hands of honest officers, that a policy of
retrenchment and reform and untlagging
loyalty to the interests of our citizens
may be inaugurated and maintained, is
the paramount issue of the present cam
paign. It is the concern of every good
citizen, II the work of Saturday was
the legitimate outgrowth of a situation
that called for prompt and decisive ac-
ton for the preservation Of this munich
pality from the ruinous policies that SER
iously threaten the we'll being of our pro-
gressive city.
The managers of the democratic cam
paign recognize their inability to square
~ meet the issue of good local govern
ment upon the merits of the situation.
Upon such a proposition they would be
compelled to sound an immediate retreat
from the field of battle. They dare not
drop eXtraneous questions, calculated
only to arouse individual passions and
prejudices, and confine the contest to the
issue of good municipal government.
BY the footing Of horns and the beating
of tin pans. they hope to divert public at
tention from the real purposes of an hon-
estly conducted city campaign, and bring
c~onspicuously to the front the merits and
dement's of q democratic feud. Not only
has this question, which is utterly foreign
to the concerns of this municipal govern
ment. been forced upon the attention of
the public through the press, but the
dominant wing of the democracy, in
charge of its political affairs in this CITY,
has incorporated in its platform of So
called principles its version of a demo-
cratic quarrel,
Had the democratic managers stopped
at that point, their efforts to defect at
tention from the real issue of the cam
paign would have been fully understood.
1t alone was sufficient to indicate the
weakness of their position on matters af-
fecting the material interests of this COM
munity. No one could doubt they had in

that the city should build a municipal
Ecrematory in which to incinerate the
bodies of paupers, criminals and others
whose burial devolves upon the city. The
idea is to do away altogether with the
potter's field. It is asserted that the city
could cremate bodies at a cost Of only 81
each, while it costs So to dig a grave. The
present p%otter's field will be filled before
the expiration of the present year. The
burials now amount to about five hundred
a year, and increase in number yearly
