ON THE SLATE.

On good authority it is stated that Mr..
John Lavell is slated for the office of
chief of police. In many respects Jack
Lavell, as he is known, will make a first
class officer. We believe him to be honest
and we know him to be capable. When
ever he goes after a man to make an
arrest, the arrest will be made. Lavell
is absolutely fearless, and would as soon
look down a gunbarrel as at a pretty
girl. He has been a faro dealer in his
time, but was always a square one, and
now that he has quit and is going to be
a public official we expect he will be
equally square in the performance of his
work. At least he will not take money
to neglect his duty, nor will he be the
proprietor of three faro games running
contrary to law, as was the case with the
last republican city marshal. He will
also be an enemy of the criminal classes
and will, let it be hoped, drive out of
Butte the professional thieves and graft
ers and fighters who have furnished the

Morton OF Nebraska, who some years
later assembled to the position of receiver
in charge of the United States depart

as the agricultural bureau. He kept the
garden seeds in one of the drawers in the
bureau. The bureau had drawers, though
it was an agricultural proposition and
didn't try to put on much style.
Having attained enough fame by in
venting Arbor day to reach the lofty
post on of dispenser of United States
garden truck, Mr.. Morton has recently
tried his hand at inventing a new politi-
cal party that can be operated on scien-

TRUST HIM NOT.

Let no republican be deceived by the
alleged promise of Hon. w. A. Clark tina
in the event of his admission to the sem
ate he will favor a protective duty on
wool. Mr.. Clark believes in free wool. He
has made speeches all over Montana in
favor of free wool. His paper, the Butte
Miner, has always advocated free wool
and endorsed the Wilson bill which pro-
vided for free wool. The Miner has never
avowed a change of heart on the subject.
Mr.. Clark since his alleged election has
never promised to work for a tariff on
wool. He is a free trader out and out
except probably as to lead and sugar and
before he embarked in the sugar business
he was in favor of free sugar. The truth
is Mr.. Clark is a democrat and can't help
being a free trader. He still believes in
free trade though, like his paper, the
Miner, and his other journalistic advo-
cate, the Standard, he does not proclaim
his belief. The Standard never endorsed
the wool clause of the Dingley bill any
more than did the Miner or Mr.. Clark.
They are all tarred with the same Golden
club-Grover Cleveland stick. If old Cob
den We're alive and a citizen of this
try he would be the favorite candidate
of the Miner and Standard and Mr.. Clark
for the presidency. Let no republican in
Montana who is interested in the wool
tariff take any stock in democratic prom
Uses of protection to WOOL. 1t is that sort
of protection which a wolf would give to
a lamb or a hawk to a dove. Mr.. w. A.
Clark will never vote for protection to
wool in the United States senate nor will
any other democrat from this state ever
SO vote in that body.

THE PASSING OF CLEVELAND.

After having been three times the nomi-
nee of his party for the presidency of the
United States, and twice elected, Grover
Cleveland was not invited to participate
in the historical banquets given by his
man ever had a more phenomenal rise in
political life or a harder fall. AS a man
Of destiny he rode upon the top wave of
public favor.
Commencing his public career as a
county sheriff, he was discovered by John
Kelly while serving as mayor of Buffalo
and trotted out as available timber for
the ~governorship of New York. Luck
came his way in extraordinary large in
voices, and surrounded him with condi-
tons that made him the logical candidate
of his party for the presidency in 1884.
Despite the opposition of Kelly, and other
friends to whom he owed his advent into
state politics. he was nominated; and then
the guardian angel that was steering his
fortunes nto the white house loosened
the tongue of old man Burchard at a
critical moment and turned the we'll bal
anced tide of battle and landed him in
the presidency. :
Unanimously renominated by his party
| gather renewed strength for 1892. Then
came the beginning of the end. His ca
reer was one hat antagonized his best
friends. Suspicion of dishonesty in the
administration of affairs became so pro-
nounced as to take away from him the
respect of the people. He retired at the
end of his term cordially hated by his
party and energetically condemned by
the people for evils that were beyond his
control.
With the possible exception of James
Buchanan, no president ever retired from
| the white house with fewer friends. Even
Andrew johnson commanded a large
amount of respect from those who disap-
proved of his methods. But Cleveland
became a private citizen amid the frowns
of a disappointed and Disguised populace.
| And low, almost upon the threshold of
another national campaign, when p4liti-
cal banquets are shaping the policies of
the party to which he belongs, there are
none so poor as to do reverence to this
ancient man of destiny. Alas, for the
fickleness of fame!

his Arbor day, Mr.. Morton's aching for
green bay tree. s..r-.
Speaking of Arbor day, Governor Smith
of Montana has designated May 9th as
a day to be sacredly set apart for tree
planting. He says that in the proper OBJ
ervance of that day
A higher sense of the artistic n beau
tiful is thus begotten in our people and
that proper spirit of pride in our homes
and cities and our state is encouraged
and fostered. ~
Let the citizens of Butte solemnly
weigh these words. If they want to have
"a higher sense of the artistic and beauti-
fur begotten in this community, let them
quit planting political ambitions and try
trees awhile. If they want to acquire
pride in their homes, and in the city in
| which they live, let them quit using
oyster cans precipitating copper for
| scenery and fall back on the Helena plan
of using trees. For once let Butte observe
| Arbor day. 1t will greatly please his eX-
plant, or any place to plant them, some
one can at least find something with a
| stick in it and use the stick. Do not for

THE GREATEST
Says the Miner this morning:

Says the Miner this morning:
1t may be confidently asserted that the
greatest interest the people of Butte have
in the pending litigation over the Boston
n Montana is to see the matter settled
upon some basis that will allow the mines
and smelters of the company to start up.
The Inter Mountain begs to demur to
that. The greatest interest the people of
Butte have in the pending litigation is
that absolute justice shall be lone to all
eontending parties and tina no legal
rights may be %abrogated or abridged. The
principle Of equal and exact justice is
paramount to every other consideration
personal or otherwise. Each side to the
controversy claims to be actuated by a
desire to achieve what is just and proper
and therefore the greatest interest of the
people of Butte and their chief desire is
that the final determination of the issues
by the courts shall do no man a wrong,
jeopardize no property right and unjustly
deprive no corporation of a foot of ground
or a dollars worth Of invested capital. 1t
is justice more than wages that the peo-
pie of Butte ask in this matter.

at the head of the Tammany gold demo-
Gratis simply because if they do not he

SOME GENERAL STATISTICS.

The 70 races ~inhabiting the world com.
municate with each other in 1904 differ
emit tongues, and confess to about
1000 religions. The number of men and
women is very nearly equal, the average
longevity of both sexes being only thirty
eight years, about one-third of the popu.
lation dying before the age of seventeen.
Moreover, according to the most careful
computation, only 1 person in 100, 900 of
both sexes %attains the age of one hundred
years, and only 6 to 7 in 100 the age sixty
The total population of the earth is es'
timated at about 1920 million souls, Of
whom 5,214, 900 die annually. e., an
average of 9S,84S a day, 1920 an hour, and
81 a minute. The annual number of births,
on the other hand, is estimated at 36,792
000-i. e an average of 100, 800 a day,
1920 an hour, and 20 a minute.
Generally, taking the entire world,
married people live longer than single,
and those who nave to work hard for their
living longer than those who do not, while
also the average rate of longevity is
higher among civilized than uncivilized
races. Further, people of large physique
live longer than those small, but those O.
middle size beat both.
