family, and women should not enter into
competition with men and thus lower the
wage scale. This may be answered by
asking another question or two. How
can a woman stay in a home if she has
no home? Who will win her bread if
she has neither husband nor father? If
we institute and maintain a competitive
system, why should one-half the popula- |
ton be withheld from participating in
that ''incentive to action which is the
prime recommendation? There is no nat
ural law that says a woman shall not
work. If she wants work why not give
her the opportunity? If she can work
and accumulate property, who will say
she shall not? If none, then why should
she not have a word to say about it's
Why should she not have a voice in the
government of her own affairs? If these
questions be answered in the affirmative,
why should she not be heard at the bal
lot box? Why should she not vote? Is
a woman who has tact and ability to
acquire property quite as fully equipped
to cast an intelligent ballot as the man
who has shuffled along in life without
49,. mo n r;, ,,ror fhn oconccponnf
roll? Of course she is. Does a woman
unsex herself if she is endowed by her
Creator with the strength and brains
to possess herself of property? No one
will question her right to do so. Why
should a woman be asked to take $40 a
month for work a man cannot do better
or faster and gets SIS a month? Is there
any justice in this? No one will contend
made every day right under our noses.
This brings us again to the female suf-
frage and the asking Of another ques-
ton or two which may thus be stated:
If a Woman's labor is as valuable in
certain industrial ines as a mans in the
same vocation, why is not her vote as
valuable to the community at large as
is her workmate's 1t is true a woman
is held as a voteless creature, and as
such is generally held as occupying an
inferior position, but, measuring the vote
of a woman and that of a man by the
influence either may have for good or
|evil upon the community, they equally
balance in the scales of justice; but,
measuring them by the assurance, noise
and hurrah of man, the mans vote is esti-
mated at higher figures. And that's about
| the difference between the worth of the
| respective votes. But when it comes to
the price of each, the mans may be pur-
chased for bills of three figures-the wo-
mans is not for sale. Who ever heard Of
a woman voter being bribed? Now and
then a man may be. Let the woman
vote.

There was a time in the memory of the
of Butte's citizens when fusion
among political parties for the remoneti-
cation of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, was a
most beautiful creation, crowned with a
bons, silken attire and flowers and chamt
pioned-by what it pleased to term itself
the democratic party. That beautiful
creation has been placed in cold storage
by it's escort; while the latter is now
playing the gallant to its erstwhile dis
carded disavowed gold bug. Time works

REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.

The leading democratic newspaper OF
the west. the Chicago Chronicle, is au-
thority for the statement that it is the
republican party that is trying to keep
of the democracy to relegate it to the
rear. From the editorial columns of this
great mentor of the western democracy,
the Inter Mountain makes the following
excerpt:
The republicans want to substitute
| dead issues for live ones, and thatis why
we see the Hanna organs continually
striving to resurrect the silve question
and make it the principal issue of the
campaign. instead of RELOCATING it to a
subordinate position in the programme.
And still the Inter Mountain is roundly
ccnsured by the democratic press of Mon
tana because it approves the war policy
of a republican administration, and sees
much to admire in the patriotism and the
ability n the sterling integrity Of
President Mckinley, whose party, ao-
cording to the Chronicle. is trying'to keep
sAN 'IolpiiS II Ice

the Chronicle, which has done so much
TO promote the political interests of Col
onel Bryan, is in better shape than Wat

democracy remember its pledges Of 1895

the Helena Independent and the Butte
Miner to seize their big bourbon contem-
porary by the nape Of the neck and the
portico Of the pantaloons and gently but
firmly drop it into Lake Michigan. If
half the energy expended by the demo-
cratic Of this state on the
Inter Mountain, abusing it for telling the
truth about the bourbon conspiracy
against free coinage, was directed
against the controlling forces of their
own party, for the part they are playing,
they would inspire more confidence in the
sincerity of their professions for silver.

by stating that he did not pose as a pro-
fessional beauty, but that he would not
swap faces With Goebel. Then he said
thai he could not say Goebel ever had a
brother in the p~enitentiary. 1T is not a
surprise to hear that he never had a
brother in he penitentiary.' he remarked.
But it is surprising to hear that his
brothers have never had a brother in the
peritentiary. l did have a brother in the
penitentiary. You see, he was a confed-
crate soldier and he was captured and
sent to a northern pe%nitentiary as a pris-
oner Of war"
When the anti-Goebel orators heard
this they danced with glee and immedi-
ately took up the theme. One Of the
chief arguments against Goebel has been
his killing Of Sanford, the eX-c%onfederate.
Added to this they have been telling how
Goebel tainted Hallam because his
brother. a confederate soldier. had been
imprisoned i'll a northern p~enitentiaIy
during the war. Such has been the effect
OF this on the considerable confederate
vote of the state. that Goebel has felt
called upon to say several times thai he
AID not refer to the confederate brother.
In answer to this the nti-Goebelites
have issuel challenges to him to show
that any other Hallamite was in the pen
itertiary.
And so the campaign goes merrily on;
but the vocabulary of the democratic ora
tors may give out before election day.

UNJUST TO SENATOR CARTER.

In expressing the idea that the future
of the Philippines, insofar as American
occupancy is concerned, may depend
largely upon their commercial available
ity, Senator Carter has called down upon
his head a great many compliments in
the shape of democratic abuse. Unable
to comprehend the business side of a
great national undertaking, in it's rela-
tionship to the welfare of the people as
a whole, the bourbon press construe the
senator's position as indicating that the
republican party has placed the entire
Philippine question upon a basis Of dol
lars n cents. This violent assumption
makes room for long editorial ESSAYS on
the moral side of the situation.
When it comes to discussing the moral
side of any public question the democrat
ic newspapers are particularly strong.

COCHRAN ON TRUSTS.

The Grafton delivered by Bourke Cock

! comment, not only on account of the

tives of the eastern wing of the demo-

To a certain extent, Mr.. Cockran's
| views are entitled to serious public con-
sideration. There can be little doubt as
to the truth of the statement that pub
licity as to plans, purposes and methods,
with the right of every stakeholder to
examine the books Of the concern when
he so desires, will do much to cripple the
harmful capacities of the trust. The ele-
ments of business secrecy, reserved to
rival concerns, in the nature Of things,
may with propriety be denied the monop-
oily. The trust is a business enterprise
which has developed beyond the stage Of
rivalry, hence publicity does not place it
at the mercy of rival concerns. It's rela-
lions to the public are essentially differ

Why should they not open their bat

temerity to suggest that commercial
and industrial questions may to some ex-
tent determine the future course of the
American government in dealing with

the business incentives which prompted
the north to prevent a dissolution of the
states in the early COS. having opposed
the business side of reconstruction and
the business demand for the resumption
vulgar business ambitions of our ndus-
trial life to secure a protective tariff, it

SULTAN's DAILY ROUTINE.

the seclusion of the Yildiz palace and

FAR FETCHED POLITICAL CAPITAL.

There is a marked tendency on the part
of the democratic press to strengthen
their political ines by attacking the pol
icy of England in the controversy now
going on between that country and the
Transvaal. The following from the Butte
Miner of this morning is a sample of the
efforts made to arouse public prejudice,
without reference to the merits of the
case:
England should not receive even the
moral support of a free people in her effort
to impose her style of government upon
an unwilling people and to wipe out the
Ioer republic.
The purpose of the foregoing is evident.
It is calculated to show the hereditary
enemies of England just where the Miner
lis at" even though it has to misrepre-
sent the facts in order to do so. Great
Britain is responsible for enough offenses
in the past, God knows. without shoulder
ing upon her handicaps to which she is
not entitled. In the South African trout
BILE, England is not trying to impose her
style of government upon an unwilling
people, nor is she trying to 'wipe out
the Boer republic
AS has heretofore been shown in these
columns, England has merely ~endeavored
to secure for the foreign settlers in the
Transvaal, who have lived there for
years, builded homes and invested their
none in the development of it's mineral
resources, the rights and privileges which
any republican form of government
ought to guarantee to it's inhabitants.
To carry out the suggestions of the En-
aglish government, as laid before Presi-
dent Kruger, would be to make the Boer
republic a locality in which the rights of
invested capital would be recognized-a
place where the men who have made that
country what it is would have a voice in
its government.
Matters have been so adjusted through
the Vaccinations of Dom Paul that he
can speculate at will on the energies of
the investor. and deny him the right to
participate in the making of the laws
under which he must live. provided he is
not ito the manor born" England has
asked that such men be accorded their
natural r~iehts-Kruger has denied the
request. That is the essence of the cit
uation in the Transvaal.
Under the conditions that exist, the In
ter Mountain maintains that the frothy
agitators in New York, who talk about
raising a regiment to help the Beers fight
England, and the democratic press, which
hurl their vicious diatribes without
knowing or caring for the facts in the
case, do a great injustice to the true sen.
timents of the American public.

good citizen to encourage England If

An Ancient Authority,

The Roman Pandects were compiled
during the reign of the Emperor
Justtnian and consisted of so books.
They represent the work of a com
mission consisting of II members,
who were occupied from the year $50
to 533 digesting upward of 1000
treatises on legal subjects. The
Pandects are probably as near an ap-
proach to a complete system of all
the laws of a given age as were ever
compiled. They have been the basis
OF all medieval legislation and can
be consulted with profit by the law
student, who is in search of the prin-
ciples which underlie the law of the
present day.
AS an apt illustration we refer to a
section of the Paudects written by
Julius Paulus in which he said: THE
origin OF buying and selling began
with the exchange & X OF things not
wanted for things wanted (barter) y
but later a material was chosen
which, being legally certified (coined)
circulated and holds it's power not so
much from it's substance as from its
quantity; since then each of the two
things exchanged is no longer called
merchandise, but only one, the other
is called price (money) ."-Manchester
