STATE UNIVERSITY

An Injurious rumor is in circula-
lation with regard TO the State Uni
ve1sity. 1t is stated that the Eng
lish gold standard is taught and that
free coinage is repudiated by the
teacher of political economy in that
institution. A young man raised i'll
Washoe county by the name of Lew
erS, we believe. is the ,.rofess0r Of
political economy. But The hard part
OF it IS he use only gold standard
authors, Perhaps the most insidious
author who has written on the money
question is Francis J. Walker. He
understood the money question very
we'll and discussed b~imetallism with
great force, But in order to obtain
and retain a position at the head of
a school of technology of Boston he
became a monofnetallist; that is to
say, he spent the latter years of his
life showing the ilnpossibilIt- Of OBJ
tanning free coinage without the con-
SEN of all the nations of the earth.
He died the idol of gold monopoly.
Taxpayers Of Nevada cannot afford
to support an institution which uses
as an author the most artful enemy Of
free silver that ever existed in either
Europe or America. We hope that
the legislature before it makes any
appropriations fol the University will
inquire into this matter. The gold
meD have destroyed every teacher of
political economy in the United States
who maintained an honest opinion on
the money question, and we supposed
Nevada, which has not received
donations from gold meu would be
independent. if d. O. Mills, the Shar.
on estate or anybody else who has
made millions out of Nevada, want
to control the teaching in the Univer-
sity at Reno, they had better donate
some of their millions as Rochelle,

tBUSE OF SENATOR w M
STEWART

Senator Stewart is one of the few
cary pioneers of Nevada still living.
He aas been connected with every inn
por ant event in the history of the
ST. e. He was the first Senator cleo
ted to the U. S. Senate on the admis-
sion Of Nevada into the Union and has
been elected to that high Office five
times, always on the first ballot. He
has had some opposition in former
tim IS, but he never was abused until
the contest which terminated in his
election last Tuesday. He was UNI
a~ni,aously reelected SIX years ago
while he was in Washington attend
ing to his duties.
A campaign of Islander was in2ug-
ura ed against him more than two
yes ago by Mr.. Neulands and his
her ,hmau Mr.. Sharon, Their first
efforts were directed toward destroy
ing The good opinion which the Peo-
pie of Nevada have always had of
the State asking the question How
do on recount for the unpopularity
of senator Ste vart," and if they
cou d find a willing ear they would
proceed to defame the Senator in
every way possible, declaring that he
was a nuisance in the Senate Of the
Uni'ed States, that he had no intluen-
ce, and that he had no friends outside
of Nevada. If his outside friends dis
puttd it they would denounce them
as interfering with matters purely
local in Nevada.

quet and the one-dollar banquet will
both cases it is proposed to eat and
drink in the name and to the glory of
the late Thomas jefferson.
Practically, the one-dollar banquet
will center its efforts on the proposition
that the Chicago platform must and
shall prevail. On the other hand, the
ten-dollar diners will be expected to APP
plaud the statement that Mr. Croker
was right when he announced that in
the presidential politics of next year
silver will not furnish the leading issue.
Apparently, these two banquets will
amount to the formal opening Of cam
paign which will eliminate little more
than a year hence when the democratic
national convention announces its plat
form and names its man. In fact, it IS
safe to predict that this rival ealing
and drinking and speaking under JEFF
ferson's auspices will serve the single
purpose of fixing public attention on the
fact that silver will be the test next
summer. OF course the Bryan banquet
ers will denounce the trusts; so will
the Croker guests. In the same way
the orators at both dinners will enter
protest against Imperialism; and en-
balmed beef, although not on the bill
of fare, will be oratorically served up.
Respecting all these matters there
will be no controversy in the forthconl-
ing dinner campaign. But at silver the
line will be drawn, and the upshot of
all the cooking and of all the oratory
will be to make it clearer than ever
that the man who proposes to march in
the democratic procession next year
must be a free-coinage man.

TWENTY-FIVE PAGES.
In Court.

4 * o tangled are some parts of the
~ litigation involving the Boston
and Montana company with the
| Heinze people that the average layman
cannot be expected to have clear
; view of it,
However, the matter now pending be-
fore Judge Clancy is one respecting the
merits of which every intelligent man
can get an accurate idea and respecting
the moral right or wrong. involved, the
business community has undoubtedly
reached a conclusion.
Under circumstances that are easy to
understand, Judge Clancy's court is re-
quested to remove the property of the
Boston and Montana company from the
control of a receiver He refused for
long time even SO much as to hear the
argument in support of this request.
However, Judge Clancy is now under
orders from the supreme court to hear
the argument, and the case had its be-
ginning yesterday. Thus far, as the
public views it. the attack on the Bos-
ton and Montana company has it's net
results in the suspension of business at
( the company's properties in Butte and
at Great Falls. and in the raising of
the question in business circles as to
how far wrecking operations can be car
Tied before they reach the point where
law asserts its sovereignty and orders
halt.
The essence of the case, as the Stand
ard remarked yesterday, and the out
come of the controversy are directly in
volved in the proceedings that started
Saturday. Evidently plays for delay
are the policy of those who are aiming
to keep the Boston and Montana prop
critics out of the hands Of their rightful
owners However great the interests at
stake and however deep the interest of
all the mining companies in the out
come, there must be patience on the
part of the public while the controversy
makes its slow march to final adjudica-
lion in the supreme court of the state.

pany had not hesitated to give evil
dences of its sympathy with the man
ayers of the Boston and Montana.
To be sure, the opposition has tried
to make it appear that the democratic
ticket does not merit public approval.
1t sought to bring the Harrington adj
mnistration into unpleasant compari-
son with former republican admins

fetal facts and figures which showed
what an egregious blunder the attempt
was. 1t aimed to make it appear that
Mr.. Mccarthy is not the right man for
mayor, thus directing public attention
more carefully toward Mr.. Kirk; the
result being a sort of consensus, among
the electors, that in any event, Kirk
won't do at ALL 1t dashed out in an
assault upon the police force and upon
other departments. avoiding personal
reference and abstaining from particu-
lars, with the result that Kirk cam
paign mud was most unwarrantably
plastered on every man in the munich
pal service in Butte, the competent and
the honest being Unfortunately as
sailed with the unworthy and dshon-
est ofticials-if such there be. Butte
despises that reckless and irresponsible
manner of campaigning; it arouses an
other voting element that will help to
whoop it up for Mccarthy tomorrow.
So that. it's as well, after all. that the
campaign was an uncommCnly long one.
1t has evolved new alignments. the
Standard is glad of it, believing that
there is benefit for Butte therein and
a promise of better local government
now and hereafter. 1t has afforded leis-
ure for the quiet discussion of real is
sues and for the elimination Of false
ones. Aside from the senseless racket
raised by the Kirk organs, it has been,
as our memory runs, the least noisy
campaign and as we believe, the most
effective and satisfactory one in But'e's
annals; holding this belief as to The
campaign, the Standard is anticipating
for to- morrow handsome majority for
Mccarthy and for the entire democratic
ticket.

suit. OF course. he furnished some
funds for the fight, but the mans
methods have reached the pass where
anything less than princely endow
ment for each one of the heelers doesn't
count. The CLARK corruption fund for
the purchase of the senatorship, in
state that is, all told, less than one
good sized congressional district, was
sum of money larger than the total of
the money subscribed and furnished to
the democratic national committee, in
1896, for the expenses of the Bryan
presidential campaign. With the fol-
lowers of w. A Clark, in Butte as we'll
as in Helena, the campaign watchword
is: mo pay, no play" and niggard
pay won't satisfy them any more.
But even if Clark money had been on
tap in Butte in its usual abundant flow
would have awaited. Certainly this
mornings signs are that the democratic
ticket, with Mr.. McCarthy's name at its
head, will score very handsome vic
tory tomorrow; the majority, which we
believe to be assured is one that
will be given by body Of citizens
whom, in any event. a Clark corrup-
ton fund could not have reached.
AS we have said, all in all, the test of
fitness will be applied in Butte. At the
same time, other influences have their
important bearing on to- morrow's re-
suit. The short sighted policy of the
Kirk organs was to start up their mud
geysers against the people connected
with the Boston and Montana COM
pany. under the delusion that they
could awaken prejudice and get out of
it political benefit for themselves. 1t
was a fiat failure; it proved to be a
| D0omerang; it was an unwarrantab Bile
! interference with the business of a
! high ranking mining company. The re-
suit was that the affair spread to the

they do their own thinking and their
