A FEMALE PROFILE NJ.

A great deal Of credit is due the Butte
Miner for resolutely attacking the female
question with an editorial opinion. 1T did
considerable hedging when the Hon.
John r. Toole was straining every nerve
to induce the Montana legislature to ac-
cord to the fair sex the right to manipu-
late the unwcildly official ballot of the
Australian system. At times it seemed
to fear that the Anaconda Copper COM
pany was figuring on securing the female
vote, and exhibited in a mild way the first
symptoms of the tantrums.
But when Mr.. Toole's efforts met with
a crushing defeat, and the women were
! once more consigned to political servi-
tude. the Miner resumed its equilibrium
| again. 1t has now reached a point where
it bravely discusses the difference be-
tween a woman and a lady. Very sensibly
it reaches the conclusion that the bible
exhibits good taste in using the word
woman instead of lady"
It might have added hat God created
the woman. while the lady is a product
of society. But the use of the word LADY
should not be discouraged. 1t is just as
legitimate as the word gentleman,
when referring to nothing but a man. The
fact must not be lost sight Of that while
every lady is a woman, every woman Is
not a lady-every gentleman is a man
but every man is not a gentleman. o..
So long as human conduct rears lines
of d~emarkation between individuals ,just
so long must relative terms be used tt
properly express ideas. The fight is no
between terms that are applied to- mel
and women, but the proper use Of sucl
terms.
However,, it is not II urpose to in
wade a field that has been pre-empted b!
John r.. Toolc and the Butte Miner, bot
of whom are so conspicuously good look
ing as to be entitled to an undispute'
possession of the glorious domain o

politicians, came the determination on
the part of the leaders of the democracy
to steadfastly keep in operation a palpa-
BILE republican mistake.
That is why the argument is made that
the removal of the circle will d~isfranchise
1000 voters. If that estimate is a fair
one there is certainly an excuse for
democratic objection to any measure that
will deprive that party of such a heavy
vote and retire it from power. The loss
of 1900 votes to the democracy in this
state, by the adoption of a measure h
would compel g man to read his ballot or
have it thrown QUITO vote lntelllSently
instead of acknowledgements be repug-
nant to a party that stands for honesty,
integrity and reform. 4 r.

THAT CIRCLE.

This morning the Butte Miner accuses
the Inter Mountain of saying that the
placing of the circle on the official ballots
was a democratic measure. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. The In
ter Mountain said nothing of the kind.
It did not even intimate such a thing, for
it is a matter of history that the circle
is the child of a republican legislature.
That phase of the matter is beyond de-
bate, and our esteemed contemporary
was suffering from an undue activity of
IFS wheels when it imputed to this paper
| any statement that could possibly be
construed into an intimation that the
democratic party was responsible for the
introduction of the circle. Months ago in
discussing the movement to remove the
circle the Inter Mountain unhesitatingly
accredited it's creation to the republican
party, assuming that the step was taken
in good faith and without a knowledge OF
the abuses thai would grow out of it in
communities where men who can neither
read nor write hold the political balance
of power.
Time has demonstrated that the circle
is a mistake-that instead of chiefly con
serving the purposes of intelligent mer
who may desire to vote a straight party
ticket with as little personal bother a:
possible, it became an instrument of poll
teal coercion in the hands Of designing
democratic politicians. With the discov
ery that the circle on the official ballots
makes possible democratic successes tina
otherwise could not be attained, through
the manipulation of the ignorant voter
of the state who are with few exception
in the employ Of ambitious democratic

THE ISSUE MADE UP.

The democratic party has taken the
initiative in formulating the policy of
expansion into a political issue. The
democratic members Of the national
house of representatives have held a
caucus and adopted resolutions that en-
body the views Of that political organiza-
ton. The democracy placed itself on
record as officially opposed to the hold
ing of the Philippines by this govern
ment, and demanded that all claims to
sovereignty be withdrawn by the United
tives to sclf-government, and demanded
that that right be recognized by this re-
public.
AS an after thought, to give to its
reasonable declarations a thin veneering
of patriotism, the caucu passed a reso-
luton commencing the loyalty of our
soldiers and sailors, and expressing SYM
pathy with them wherever and whenever
engaged in military duty.
The action of the caucus seems like an
echo from the past, when the democratic
! party, with just as copious quotations
from the constitution, resolved against
the policy of the republican administra-
ton in conducting the war Of the rebel
| ion. It had no difficulty in distorting
| lies at the foundation Of our liberties into
a recognition of state sovereignty and the
rights of secession.
Then, as now, it declared that all gov
ernments derive their just power from
the consent of the governed" converting
| this sublime message from the intel
lectual treasury of human progress into
a cloak with which to mask the ~treacher5
and treason of indictments. For eighty
years the democratic party preached the
improperly of government without thu
consent Of the governed, and in the mean
time devoted it's energies to killing of
the American Indians and appropriatin:

HIS E~XCELLENCY.

AS the governor Of Montana mops his
fevered brow and gazes in bewilderment
at the stuffed club with which the demo-
cratic Legislature attempted to brain him
on the SPOT. he doubtless turns for con-
ISOLATION to that venerable hymn which
has given immortality to this glorious
hope:
While the lamp of life holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return.
Only a few short months ago his ex-
cellency was seduced from the political
pathway of populistic virtue by the
leathery smile of a thick-skinned democ-
racy. He. was the pride and hope Of the
peoples party, which had placed him in
the g~ubernatorial chair with an income
that enabled him to eat turtle soup four
times a day.
But when the state conventions met in
Anaconda on the first full moon after the
preceding political equinox last year, he
fell from grace. He waved a dramatic
farewell to Mary Ellen Lease, Scion
Chase and Jerry Simpson, and, turning
his back on the principles of his party, he
wept quietly at the political tomb of
Grover Cleveland. 1t was a scene that will
live in history, and in time be emblazoned
by some modern Milton in a new Paradise
pare with that of Bob Smith. Lucifer fell
in a softer place and has enjoyed himself
more since his fall than has the governor
of Montana.
For a time it was believed that his eX-
cellency had made a safe landing. He did
not appear to nave been badly Jared as
the result of his somersault from the
peoples party into the democracy. He
seemed to have alighted easily, and like
the wise virgin kept his corns trimmed
and burning. But recent events show
that Governor Smith made the mistake
of his life when he went down between the
~rafters, through the plastering, in his
haste to pay homage to the shades OF
jefferson.

Now that there has been so much talk
very promptly denied-of govt attack

be altogether malapropos to quote this
very clever bit of French verse upon the

Not until the light of a great genius

CLEVELAND, o., June 1O.-Three yes
sells went ashore Saturday night dur
ing the gale on Lake Erie. They were
the schooners George II. Warrington
and Sophia Minch and the steamer
Sequin. The Warrington and the
Sophia Minch were in tow of the
steamer John N. Glidden. They left
Ashtabula early in the evening on
their way up the lake.
Several miles west of Ashtabula the
Glidden cut loose from the two schoon.
ers and they we're permitted to drift
ashore. 1t was after midnight before
the life saving crew got to the wrecks.
The crew of the Minch, consisting of
six men and one woman, was taken off.
The crew of the Warrington re-
mained on board during the night
The Sequin tried to brave the storm
but her wheel broke and she drifted on
the beach in the trough of the sea, her
crew remaining on board. The three
boats are hard aground, but it is be-
lieved the Sequin and Warrington can
be saved without trouble, and possibly
the Minch can be pulled off also. The
sea moderated Sunday.

lated by Detroit lawyer, he was 80
years younger than he is now: II had
all l could do to pay for cheap boarding
and the rent of little Office which also
served as lodging apartment. The
best l had in business way was a
tough lot of collections and few in
significant cases in Justices court.
This is the way in which the tide of
fortune was turned. A big burglary had
been committed and a man seriously
wounded in trying to defend his prop
erty. Arrests were made and the whole
community was up in arms. l never
was so surprised in my life as when 1
was employed, at a ridiculously small
figure, to defend the prisoners. except
when they were acquitted. There was
an organized gang of these fellows at
the time, and the sguint-eyed, sharp
faced leader afterward told me how l
came to get the case.
"'We met said he, after the bows
was pinched, and a motion was made by
one of the blokes to hire two of the best
and highest-priced lawyers in the city

was to buy witnesses, and then amy fool
