CRIMES CARNIVAL.

Crime is expensive. The taxpayers Of
Butte have learned this to their sorrow.
Not only is the carnival of crime in this
city demoralizing to the young, not only
has it injured the good name of this mu-
nicipality abroad and prevented the in
flow of capital that would otherwise
have sought investment here, not only
has it discouraged many of our people
from providing for permanent homes
within the limits of Butte, but it has
proved to be an almost un~bearable tax
upon the resources of the average citizen.
During the past two years Butte has
suffered irreparably from the crimes that
have run rampant within her gates. 1t is
unnecessary to specialize in these mat
tiers. Every citizen knows that the city
administration has winked at crime, and
that prosecutions if undertaken have

BUTTE'S BELMONT.

A few days since William Jennings Bry-
an refused to take part in a Jeffersonian
banquet given by the democracy Of New
York because Mr.. Perry Belmont, having
the affair in charge, would not commit
himself to the free coinage ratio of 16 to l.
Mr.. Bryan held that Mr.. Belmont was
not a democrat unless he stood by that
ratio, and as Mr.. Belmont would not COM
NIT the New York democracy to that doc
trine, Mr.. Bryan refused to enter into po-
lftical fellowship with the Tamanny men
and put his feet under their mahogany.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Belmont stands
just where the Anaconda Standard and
it's followers stand on the ratio PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Belmont and the New York
democracy say the ratio is not material,
and thai is what the organ of the hill
democracy in Butte says. Belmont, rep
resenting the party in the Empire state,
repudiates the free coinage ratio of 16 to
/; the Anaconda Standard, representing
the party in the Treasure state, does the
same thing.
1t naturally follows that if Mr.. Bryan
again visits Butte he will apply the toe
of his boot to the Standard, rather tina
recognize it as a democratic organ.

preserve the essential parity between all
products of coinage. We affirm our alle-

The reference to the false pretensions

DENIED APPLICATION.
william j. Armstrong Ordered Returned
to Chicago.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 12--Judge Jacobs
this morning denied the application of
William J. Armstrong, the Chicago fugi-
tive. for a writ of habeas corpus, and or
dered him returned to Chicago. He al
lowed an appeal from his decision, how
ever, and gave the petitioners attorneys
10 days in which to perfect it. pending
which time he ordered the sheriff of the
county to hold the prisoner.
In passing on the case, Judge Jacobs
took occasion to critlcise the papers upon
which it is proposed to extradite the
prisoner. He stated particularly that the
original atiidav. filed against the de-
fendant in the justice court was not n
charge of crime at all and was absolutely
worthless. The difficulty. however, he
said. was obviated by the indictment
which was found by the grand jury. The
certificate Of authorization. the court
stated. was not so fun as it might be.
but he did not consider the objections
sufficient to warrant the release of the
prisoner.
Armstrong; attorneys announced to the
court that an appeal from his decision
would be taken to the state supreme
court.
