lutions will be of special interest to the
public, for his position as mayor of Butte
will have an influential bearing on the
pending controversy in the senate at
Washington.
1t is said that the mayor-elect has pur-
posely delayed an expression on this mat
ter until his inaugural, with a view to
making his declarations more forceful
and effective. Some of his friends say he
will denounce the anti-Clark resolutions
from the pulpit, or, rather. from the
grand stand in the council chamber. Some
of his other friends say he will take the
other chute. so to speak, n will have
those resolutions incorporated III his oath
of office. With this atmosphere of uncer-
tainty and doubt surrounding his honor,
the public is looking forward to his inau-
gural address for a final explanation of
his position on what his political hackers
of the campaign regarded as the para
mount issue.

THE ANTITRUST LAW.

The growth of trusts in almost every
conceivable field of human industry has
awakened new interest in the antitrust
law. This law was passed in 1890 and has
been held to be constitutional by the SUI
eral Griggs declares his inability to en-
force it. Conditions are such that Mr..
Griggs undoubtedly tells the truth But
here is the law:
Sec. 1-Every contract, combination in
form of trust or otherwise, or conspir-
acy, in restraint of trade or m
among the several states, or with foreign
nations, is hereby declared to be illegal.
Sec. 2-Every person who shall monop-
oliZe, or attempt to m~onopolize, or COM
bine or conspire with other person or
persons to monoplize any part Of the
trade or m among the several
states, or with foreign nations, shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanor, and, on
conviction thereof, shall be punished by
fine not exceeding 5000, or by imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, or by both
said punishments, at the discretion of the
court.
Sec. Amy prOpert owned under any
contract or by any combination, or pur-
suant to any conspiracy (and being the
subject thereof) mentioned in section 1
of this act, and being in the course of
transportation from one state to another,
or to a foreign country, shall be forfeited
to the United States, and may be seized
and condemned by like proceedings as
those provided by law for the forfeiture,
seizure and condemnation of property i'm
ported into the United States contrary to
law.
AS the law covers commerce among
the several states, and not within the
state, the law is held to apply only to
matters directly affecting Interstate or
foreign trade. Mr.. Griggs is probably
right in RELOCATING the treatment OF
trusts to the states in which they oper-
ate. 1t unquestionably lies within the
power of a legislative assembly to place
a quietus on such institutions within the
limits Of a state, n to environ them

Unfortunately for the people, however,
too many legislatures are like the one

INAUGURAL ADDRESS,

There are some reasons for believing
that Mayor-elect Mccarthy will not ex-
press himself publicly as to the anti
Clark resolutions until he delivers his in
augural address. In his speech upon
that occasion it is quite likely tina he will
discuss all the issues of the late campaign,
with their bearing on the administration
of city affairs. Two-thirds of the plat

elected related to Senator-eIect Clark.
and will doubtless receive no small
amount of consideration in his speech.
1t is fortunate that under the law a
mayor-elect has ample time between his
election and Inauguration to prepare an
address covering all questions of public
concern hat relate in any way to his i'm
who will rot permit such an opportunity
to go by default. He realizes that the
mayorality Of Butte may lead to higher
honors. Mayor Mantle, for instance,
went to the senate, Mayor Thompson
went to Jerusalem and Mayor Harrington

not out. When it is, he will also go.
To Mr.. Mccarthy the public will look
for a political ambition that will be care

fondly dreamed of possibilities of the flu

THE DEWEY DISAPPOINTMENT.

For a long time after the sinking Of
Montejo's fleet at Manila by the irwin
chile American commodore, the demo-
cratic press of his country reioiced in
the hope that at last a man had been
discovered, or had discovered himself,
who could carry the bourbon banner to
victory in 1900. The idea that Dewey
could be anything else but a democrat
never entered the heads of the truly
faithful.
The first shock to the democracy came
when the somber, silent hero of the west
ern ocean announced himself as an ex-
pa%nsionist. Then came a positive refusal
to stand as a presidential candidate.
This, in turn, was followed by the state
ment that he was a Vermonter and a re-
publican. All these things somewhat
%disconcert the political sleuths of the
democratic party who are now in search
of a candidate for 1900. To find a man
who will exactly come up to the demo-
cratic idea of banquets will be a difficult
task,

NOW FOR PROSPERITY.

With the initial advantage possessed
by Butte in the production of cope this
city is in a condition to take on it's pro
portion of the general prosperity that
has come to the country through business
channels. There is no apparent reason
why Butte should not realize the full
measure of prosperity the coming year.
The mineral output promises to greatly
exceed that of the past, new capital will
accelerate the opening and development
of idle properties in and around the city,
and real values will doubtless be greatly
strengthened all along the line. The in
dications point to an era of house build
ing to accommodate the steady influx Of
people from all sections of the country.
All that is needed to round out the
splendid prospects of progressive Butte
is hat hearty and sincere cooperation
among the people to which every city
must look for a truly successful future.
Let political animosities be retired to
the background. and every man place his
shoulder to the wheel and help along the
car of progress.
Montana is not without its examples Of
the injury wrought by discordant ele-
ments in the life of a municipality. The
business depression suffered by Helena
was due less TO unfortunate environment
than to internal dissenslons that took the
form of foraYs upon the business life
Of the community. Invested capital
made war upon Invested capital until
Helena was very like the two cats whose
tails were tied together before they We're
thrown over the clothes line. Internal
strife between business interest produced
its legitimate fruit of ruin.
Butte can i'll afford to lay the founda-
ton for disseHsiOns of this character.
Cooperation for the common good is the
lated with safety. The business and pro-
fessional men of this city owe to them
selves, and to the prosperous future for
which they hope, a union of effort in be-
half of Butte. Under such conditions
this city will take its rightful position as
the great northwest.

SUICIDE MANIA.
mount issue

The mania for self destruction has
reached n Point where humanitarian eff
singular fact that comparatively few sui
cides grow out Of the belief that death
introduces to the human soul a happier
condition of life. The orientalist, who
dreams of the sensual pleasures of the
Mohammedan heaven, when he caves the
Great Beyond, seldom commits the alb
orient crime of self destruction. Equally
strange perhaps is the fact that pro-
nourced atheists. who believe that death
ends all, seldom kill themselves. Evil
IDENTIFY they do rot voluntarily seek the
oblivion to which they believe man
kin is drifting.
Nor docs the inln Of permanently fixed
religious views make a speciality of sui
eide. Anchored to certain we'll defined
ideas of his life and the next, he MAIN
tains a mental equilibrium inconsistent
with the policy Of self d~estruction. AS a
rule, the suicide is a man who has never
permitted himself to attain fixity of be-
lief. On the face of things he may as
sumo to believe this creed or that, or to
ignore them all. but within his heart he
feels the conflict Of doubts. His mind is
unsettled as TO the problems OF life and
death, which necessarily concern us all,
wen if they can never be fully analysed
and understood. Thus when trouble
comes urOn him he is like a ship at sea
without an anchor. He is Grirtwood on
the sea Of uncertainty and doubt. He
gives to his fears and doubts a free rein
which stability of belief in any direction
would check, ard dies by his own hand,
peyfeliing the field of uncertainty to the
world that has wrorged him with it's fam
cied ~tarrors.
Unfortunately suicide is a crime which
the law cannot each. Laws for its pre-
vention are a farce. The moral forces of
civilization can alone take up the prob
lem in ar intelligent way bearing in mind
that what is meat for one man is poison
for another and hat a healthy sentiment
against self-dostruction must take on
various forms to be effective. That
which might save one nan from suicide
might destroy another, according to the
mental makeup and physical condition
of the individual. Civilization has an

MORGAN'S POWER.

Sc much has been said in a public way
about the enormous wealth of the Roths-
childs and the Rockefellers that the
power welded by j. Pierrepont Morgan
is often lost sight of. Yet this magnate
is in a position to almost control the des-
TIMES of this country, were he to put in
motion all the forces at his command.
The systems of railway under his con-
troll cover 19,02S miles, and last year
earned $1,000 900. They hold 22,77o,473
acres of land and employ $4,000 men. An
exchange graphically pictures these tre-
mendous holdings as follows:
The employees of the Morgan railroads
exceed the entire establishment of the
British navy, excepting marines. Nor
gan's roads move 200, 600 cars. Made intol
one train, at a very moderate estimate.
it would be 1854 miles long, without
counting 1890 locomotives. The landed
estate of the Morgan roads, the acres
which they till and from which the dig
coal or cut lumber, exceeds in area the
combined kingdoms of Holland, Den
iildih anu iclSlul1. WIlICll support over
$500. 600 people. Mr.. Morgan's railroads
might exchange, acre for acre, meas
ured by territory alone, with the five
New England states, New Hampshire.
Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Connecticut, and when he had ac-
quired every inch of those states he
would have 3,37S,5Go acres of and left.
Fortunately these great a~ggregations
of capital are more dangerous from a
theoretical than from a practical stand
point. The value Of such holdings must
depend upon the prosperity of the coun-
try, hence the influence of such men as
Morgan must be thrown in a direction
that will bring ultimate prosperity to
the people as a business proposition.
When exercised politically for the ben
eft of such investments it must be with
a view to the general development of the
resources Of the country that will in turn
serve the purposes of capital so widely
diffused.
Moreover, such vast fortunes regulate
themselves in due time, and gradually
distribute themselves throughout the
country through heirs at law, each gen
Grafton widening and weakening its
primitive power. That is notably the
fact in the cases of the V~anderbilts, the
Goulds and the Astors. The increment
of wealth is not proportionate to its ulti-
mate diffusion. And therein the safety
of the people lies.
Were the wealthy men of this country
to pursue the plan of intermarriages,
which built up the house of the Roths-
childs, and retain their vast fortunes
under a family management, the system
would soon reduce the common people
10 vassa!age and destroy the middle
classes, with whom the perpetuity of the
republic must rest.
But so long as the death of a man like
Morgan means the subdivision of his
fortune-a process to be repeated and re-
repeated as time rolls on-the common
people need have no fear that American
institutions are in danger of speedy dis
solution.

SPINNING WHEELS POPULAR.
Old Machines Are Being Brought Into Use Again
for Actual and Ornamental Purposes.

The old-fashioned spinning wheel
has recently sprung into renewed pop
ularity in this country, and all Au-
gusta women who have had one Of the
relics stored away should now bring
them out for parlor use: it is not only
valued as an antique, but among GER
tain society leaders in other cities,
spinning contests proclaim that it is in
actual use, and the grandmothers who
can give lessons in spinning are in
great demand.
In England, however, the spinning
wheel has experienced a still greater
revival within the last few years. In q
village near Salisbury in the winter Of
1898 the ancient industry of wool spin
ming and weaving by hand was re-
vived in order to provide remunerative
employment for women, and also to
produce a cloth Of fine quality made of
English wool by English hands work
ing in their own homes under healthy
conditions. Both objects have been
attained, and some two dozen wheels
are at work in the village cottages. as
many women find both pleasure
and profit in working to the accom-
paniment of the soothing hum of their
busy wheels. One of the earliest
patrons of the new village industry
was the Princess of Wales.
A London institution, the School of
Spinning and Weaving, is assisting the
revival by striving to initiate young
girls, and ladies also, into the mys-
teries of weaving. Those who have
learned at this school are encouraged
to establish the industry in the vii
lagos of agricultural districts in the
United Kingdom, which has proved SO
profitable i'll Belgium.
Queen Victoria, it is said still pre-
serves the old spinning wheel at which
she used to work in her younger days,
and it is not surprising in view of
these facts that the society leaders
who are striving to initiate English
customs should make fad of spin
ming lessons and spinning matches.
