ManifestIy, these two Kirk newspa-
pers already realize that, once more,
they're not in it in Butte. One of them
is lambasting the hill, the other is
whacling away at hill and vale alike.
IT is bootless business for both: they
know it.s Andrew Jackson owned some
pretty fleet running horses that were
the pride of the boys in his stable. One
summer a guest at the Hermitage
found himself suddenly obliged to be at
a rendezvous several miles distant. The
guest consulted the hostler in charge,
telling him of the urgency of the case.

They Are Interesting.

Il HOT with the purpose of wound
M ing the delicate race scnsibilities
of the newspaper organs of the
Kirk campaign, but because the figures
are interesting in many ways, the
Standard directs attention to the sum-
mary given on one of this mornings
Butte pages and showing the nativity
of the voting population in the city of
Butte. By the testimony of the registry
books, the native-born Americans have
the best of it, by a generous majority.
Otherwise the figures show how thor
oughly cosmopolitan Butte is in it's
makeup. Its citizenship is fairly rep
resentative of the four quarters of the
globe: yet it must be a matter of some
surprise to those who scan the table
printed this morning to discover that
the population of Butte does not in
clude even so much as one voter who
claims Spain as the country of his
birth. The table gives Ireland the lead
among Butte's foreign-born voters, the
total for that land being 1,164 men. The
Standard would have guessed that the
quota of Ireland-born voters in Butte
did not exceed one thousand How
ever, the net gain for Ireland may be
accounted for by the fact that since the
last registration, exMayor Thomp-
son visited Rome, drank five-oclock
pink tea with Pope Leo and so became,
of course, for all the purposes of
Butte's political statistics, a full
fiedged, native-born son of county

Up to the end of this period the determi-

easy matter. and any one who is at all
observant can readily give the age of
horses by looking at their teeth. After a
full mouth is attained 1t IS a more diff

in proportion to their age. So much Is
this the case that 1t is popularly sup
posed that 1t is impossible to tell the age
of horses after they are 5 years old. This
may be true to great extent among the
unframed and inexperienced, but to an ex-
pert it is not difficult to tell the age up to
15 years with a fair degree of accuracy,

1.-THE Hill" and the Others.

Z F they had the smallest chance of
winning next Mondays election we
suppose that our two Butte daily
contemporaries would find it worth
while to hold a meeting and agree in a
statement of the issues and the ele-
ments in an election in which they are
trying to make united cause. These
our two contemporaries are blazing
away at what they deem to be the COM
mon enemy. But the Inter Mountain,
as nearly as We can find out, locates
this enemy "on the hill" while the
Miner discovers it in the the combina-
tion."
For good many years the Miner
waged valient and misera bly, ineffective
warfare against the Anaconda compa-
ny. The Miners plan was. at every
campaigns outset to sell all the Ana
conda properties to mysterious and
mythical outsiders and then hammer
away at those of the Anaconda own
ers who refused thus to be sold out. No
political campaign of recent years in
Butte has lacked this campaign sale OF
the Anaconda properties by the Miner.
Our morning contemporary hasn't vet
advertised this springs sale. but If
may be relied upon to reach that phase
of the campaign along about next
Thursday or Friday.
At any rate, this year. the Miner is
not dealing with the Anaconda COM
pany per Sc. as Major Dawson would
say. 1t is punching its hits. it is MAX
ing a common enemy out of all of the
larger mining companies in Butte, it is
in pursuit of what it calls "the COM
bination." 1t has an eye on the Ana
conda folk. Of course, but only one eve

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
To distinguish merely between the
young horse and the old it is only neces-
sary to remember few silent facts. The
first is that the milk teeth are present in
the horses mouth until he is between 4
and years old. The second fact is that
the mark" or dark central depression
on the surface of the incisors becomes
gradually worn out. and in horse more

Why Roosevelt Is Less Aggressive.

From the Washington Times.
An Albany correspondent recites that
Governor Roosevelt has ceased to be a
fighter; that he is no longer the bold

that the reforms which he promised in
January have all failed because he Is
deserted by his party Two explana-

the requirements of the situation or
that he has the presidential ailment,
which takes all the aggressive inde-

people like work and he would be

A. Yes, sir
Q. So others were not in hearing?
A. Yes, sir.
@. From whom was such an offer said to
come?
A. From a party named James Cope
land, understood to be at one time an at

relation with the Southern Pacific Rail-
road. He Is now a practicing attorney in
Los Angeles City.
Q. Has his office and business in Los
Angeles?
Q. To whom was such offer made?
A. member of the Assembly.
Q. A member of the Assembly-which
member?
A. l would prefer, Mr.. Chairman, that
you wouldn't ask me that question. While
anything that l might relate, [ under
stand, was not given to me in absolute
confidence, still, as newspaper man, /
think the gentleman Is entitled to. some
consideration from me, and believe that
the statement has been made IN such a
way that the committee can arrive at the
name of the Assemblyman without my
giving the information.
@. presume the committee would be
willing to let you off on that proposition if
you put US in the way of learning it in
any other way. If you can do so, you
may do it.

mittee, Mr.. Mellick, who claims to have
the information as to the source-as to my
authority.
Mr.. Mellick-I was just running a bluff
on you, Mr.. Washburn.

do not ask me the direct name of my in
