The Wide Difference.

JHAT the Butte Miner needs is
wv an intelligent idea of recent
history, when it attempts to
put what the STANDARD is saving about
Mayor Mccarthy in parallel with what
the Standard said two years ago about
DR.. Lesser, who then was MAYOR of
Anaconda.
OF themselves, the two SITUATIONS
have practically nothing in common
Mayor Mccarthy has nominated certain
men for service in Buttes government:
the nominations have failed of a ma
j0rity in the council; there for the pres
ent the matter rests. The council in
Butte is made ap of democrats who are
ready and willing to support the demo-
cratic mayor; of republicans who resist
the mayors selections, and of represen-
tatives of w. A. Clark who make them
selves the tail of the republican element
in the council and who bunch their
bits in the hope that they may defeat
one of the mayors candidates because
he was a member in the recent legisla-

Not Well Selected.

wv would G be ~s, e enough nsn' in '1 i's
way if it were operated to
some good purpose, the administra-
TONS thick-and-thin boosters draw
sort of sheppard goat line, on either
side of which they undertake the range,
according to their way of thinking,
the friends and the enemies of our
common fatherland.
This classification reveals a spirit of
bigotry that would be most reprehen-
slble If it Were not so ridiculous. The
newspaper organs that attune their
utterances to this spirit divide all the
people Of the United States into two
classes, namely, patriots and traitors.
Those who, in their talk, stand by the
administrators Philippine policy,
echo the voice of the people," those
who criticise the administrators pol
icy are "copperheads."
The attempt to revive this forgotten
title, copperhead, is one of the notice
able incidents of recent days Younger
Americans of our time have no memory
VI ZIG Sia WHeH tne epltnet was cur
rent in this countrys politics. 1t is
an ugly name, it's significance in civil
war days was of intense bitterness; it
was fastened, at first, on men in the
North who, to all intents and purposes,
advocated the doctrine that secession
was right and that in the war for the
dissolution of the Union, the South
ought to win.
1t is as certain as anything can be
that the attempt of the administra-
tons editors to revive this od-time,
opprobrious epithet and fit it to those
who do not fancy the expansion pol
icy will fail. These gentlemen must
set their wits at work and give us
something new. They have tried in
vain to ring in on us such titles as
traitors, seditionists, and the like
These are not more hateful than, by all
its associations, the word copperhead
is, but not one of them is in any Ianse
descriptive and it is of first account
in the coming of political epithets, that
they shall fit the facts.

Clark.
The conditions in Anaconda two
years ago. as has been said. were essen
tally unlike those that prevail in Butte.
Mayor Lesser was a republican mayor;
the city council had a good democratic
majority that pulled together The
mayor nominated several men for mem
bership on the police force. The Ana
conda council rejected the nominations.
There was considerable sparring, with
the result that Mayor Lesser simply ig-
nored the council, ordered his nominees
to be policemen and participants in the
pay roll. There was but one possible
outcome for that erratic proceeding
the Lesser policemen, SO far as we
know, patrolled, but they never drew
pay. Occasionally the contention in
behalf of pay for them is renewed-it
is in court just now, in the shape of
proceedings against the city treasurer,
we believe.
The whole proceeding, incident to
Mayor Leiser's nominees, became bur-
lesque. His course was unwarranted,
and Mayor Mccarthy may be relied on
not to pattern after a precedent SO alb
surd. The Clark aldermen in the Butte
council are not the product of this
years municipal election. They are
holdovers. They choose not to unite
with the ree,llarly-elected democratic
mayor and with the regularly elected
democratic aldermen. Operating as re-
publicans and with republicans, they tie
up the situation. The Standard recos-
nizes the fact that 1t is the privilege OF
these Clark men to be republicans and
to blockade the democratic side of the
council.

A. McGregor Rose the author of the

wrote for long under the nom de plume
of A. M. r. Gordon The lines were
written by him in October, 1897 after
the Emperor Williams speech on the
divine right of kings, at which time
Rose was a member of the Montreal
Herald staff. Not long ago his mind
began to fail, and death followed, after
an illness of several weeks.

James Telfar, an actor of the old

Plea for Arbitration.

From the Philadelphia Record.
If nothing more shall be accomplished
by the international peace conference
than a recognition of the desirability of
arbitration before resort to the dread
alternative of war it will be a great step
forward. 1t is better to arbitrate though
the parties meanwhile menace each other
with standing armies and shotted guns
than not to arbitrate at all.

American people discover the logical
outcome of The Hague meeting in the
proposed permanent tribunal. This
broader question has two well-defined
sides, and it is not to be said that
man is the advocate of war because
he is not ready to say that peace by
the permanent-tribunal process is what
the world wants.

Germans in Business Life.
2 Minneapolis Times.

From the Minneapolis Times
Two hundred years ago the richest man
in New York was a German and from
that day to this the representatives of
that race in America have been noted for
success in business. In the purely spec
ulative methods of acquiring wealth they
do not figure very prominently; there are
few "Napoleons of finance" among them.
But where legitimate enterprise is the
game there will they be found among the
winners

Those Talkative Officers.

From the Kansas City Star.
AS rational an explanation of the mat
ter as any seems to be that officers who
are confined for weeks and months on a
man-of-war are likely to be too free with
their tongue when they reach land and
find a lot of people who are willing to
hear them talk.

may be possible that he learned a useful
lesson in Boston. At any rate he took
care to have General Wheeler appear with
him in public at'Detroit and the enthusi-
asm is said to have been great There Is
nothing like being found in decent com
pany. This remark is addressed exclu-
Siyely to Alger.
