IN the fifth page of this issue of
~ the Standard appears an exceed
ingly interesting summary of
the respective administrations of Mayor
Harrington and Mayor Thompson with
reference to the public expenditures
under each. In the amount of work
done, in what was actually accomplish
ed towards permanent improvements
ana the promotion of Buttes physical
welfare the advantage is altogether on
the. side of the Harrington administra-
ton. Under Thompson the city virtual
~ stood still. Very little public spirit
was manifested; it received no en-
couragement from the administration to
manifest itself.
But 1T, is claimed by the Inter Noun
tain that Mr.. Thompson succeeded in
reducing Butte's indebtedness to some
extent. That is true, and yet it may
be doubted if Butte's debt is not greater
to-day than it would have been had
Mayor Thompson expended more money
in needed improvements. The city had
to make the improvements and but for
the delay caused by Mayor Thompsons
unWillingness to expend anything more
than he had to, the Improvements and
repairs might have been made at much
less cost. There is such thing as be-
ing too economical. The failure to
spend a dollar or two ait the proper time
may cost ten dollars in the end. Take
for. example, the judgment which the
city has had to pay for injuries and
damages incurred during the admins
tration of Mr.. Thompson. The Inter
Mountain has called attention to the
fact that judgments have been render
ed during the Harrington term to the
amount of $9,320.SO. With the exception
of $3.50 damages to John Mccormick
this entire amount was for damages
and injuries during the Thompson adj
ministration. No judgments have been
rendered for suits instituted against the
city since Harrington became mayor.
There is pending suit for damages in
establishing the grade on East Broad
way. The work for which the city is
sued was ordered towards the close of
the Thompson administration. The
statutes were, however, followed in es-
tablishng the grade and changing the
streets. The claim is that the property
was damaged by grading the street and
the, constitutional provision is quoted
which says that no property shall be
taken or damaged without compensa-
ton The city will not acquiesce until
the supreme court decides the matter
All there is about it, Harrington
started an era of public spirit and pub
lie enterprise which Mccarthy as mayor
will continue. 1t is the best policy for
Butte to pursue. and more than that.
it is not only the best but all things
considered far and away the most eco

Druggists War.

st. Louis, March 26.-The Western
Wholesale Druggists association has
taken action that may result in war be-
tween the wholesale druggists of the

in trade to department stores and drug
stores that sell for less than the market
prices The members of the association
are determined, it Us said, to make a
determined stand. They claim to have
full control of the sources of supply
and will compel the cutters to accept
the terms or go out of business

W. A. Ciark's System.

From the Western News.
The annual city campaigns throughout
the state thus far appear tame and spirit
less except in Butte. There the democrats
have nominated straight party ticket
reaffirmed allegiance to party tenets and
have denounced Clark's crime in purchas-
ing the senatorship. Opposed to them is
combination of republicans. silver re-
publicans, pops, the Butte Miner and
Clark's other employees. This opposition
is not expected to cut much ice. As us
ual when he can't run the whole works,
Clark bolts. He is the worst kind of a
democrat.

ord from Trenton, N j., the
trust headquarters, being the incorpo-
ration of the International Steam Pump
company with a capital, however, of
only twenty seven million dollars. All
the steam pump manufacturers in the
country are reported to have gone into

by the trust combinations incorpo-
rated during the entire year in 1898 has
already been exceeded by that of the

Their Big Heads Doomed.

From the Philipsburg Mail,
The democrats of Butte are at present
engaged in the publication of city poll
tics. No particular principle or policy
seems involved. other than keeping in
training for the campaign of 1900. The
success of the Clark wing in the senatorial
contest has evidently served to swell the
imaginations of that faction, and unless
all signs fail, the Clark democrats might
in the future be relieved of a considera BILE
quantity of the accumulated conCet.
