A WORD IN SEASON.

A paragraph from a sermon delivered
in one of the New York churches, appear
ed in the Sun of that city the oath ult.,
and has since been going the rounds of
the press. It's reproduction may stimu-
late an industry in this city which, for a
place of so, 900 inhabitants, does not ap-
pear to be doing the proper thing, judging
from the ~paucity of marriage licenses
issued. Surely the war didn't take away
all the manageable young men Of Butte.
ST cannot account for the small number
of marriages." said Father Carroll, Eek
cept by the fact that the war took away
from us many of our oun men. l am
afraid that our young women are alto
gether too stylish and expect too much.
They want a house and lot and the house
furnished before they will consent to
marry. Their parents did not have all
these things. l have been told that some
of the young men and young women IN
his parish v been keeping company
for from six to ten years. That is alto
gether too long. l hope the young men
will take more courage on this question
of marriage, and I also hope that the
young people will not try to be too well
off before making up their minds to get
married"

MATERIAL WORLD CHANGES.

Referring to the changes wrought in
the material world during the past rs
years an exchange cities the experience
of a noted criminal who, the other day,
was released from a Pennsylvania prison
served a term of a quarter of a century.
Roaming around Philadelphia, formerly
so we'll known to him, the wonderful
changes that met him everywhere, such
as electric cars, ETC., bewildered him to
that degree that he acted like a lost child
until he could collect his senses.
Though blessed with their liberty there
are many men who can hardly realize
the wonderful changes wrought in the
material world in a quarter of a century
through invention. History has been
made so fast on inventive lines that men,
sometimes, find themselves unable to keep
up with it. These material inventions
have produced almost equally wonderful
changes in the social r~elations-in the life
and thoughts of people. If one could fall
into a Rip a Wrinkle sleep and awaken
after the lapse of two score years amidst
the changes which would AVE been made,
ripened and in process of decay, it Is GER
tain that the changes he would find in the
social institutions of the country would
make him feel as much like a lost child

Golden Circle, and other reasonable or
CARNATIONS in the north, to arouse
prejudice against the national admins
tration and embarrass the government
in the prosecution of the war, by pointing
to show that too high a price was being
paid for the honor of the nation and the
glory of the flag. The fact that a crisis
had been forced on the nation, through
circumstances beyond it's control, was
lost sight of by the cowardly copperheads
who secretly e%spoused the southern cause.
Today the same tactics are being pur-
sued by those who oppose the occupancy
of the Philippines. Obvious of the fact
that the control and management Of
those islands were forced upon this re-
public as a result of the war with Spain
that the obligations incurred could not
with honor or safety be ignored-a new
invoice of copperheads have poked their
noses out of their shells to emulate the
example of their distinguished and eter-
nally damned predecessors of the civil
war.

yowl and howl and yell at the alleged
crimes of a m~ismanaged republic. 1t can
be said in historical e~Xtenuation of the
crimes of the ancient copperhead, that he
opposed the civil war from it's inception,
and his course of treachery toward the

modern prototype, however, encouraged
the war with Spain and practically forced
a reluctant administration into the con-

Annoyed over the successful conduct Of
the war; failing to entrap the admins

AN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN.

An offensive campaign against the Fill
pinos has been decided upon. 1t is none
too soon to be inaugurated, in fact late
developments indicate it has been too
long delayed. The Filipinos have, no
doubt, construed the defensive policy pur-
s,,ed by Otis as a sign of weakness in
numbers, n inefficiency, or of actual
covardice upon the part of the Ameri-
cans. They, unquestionably, measurethe
American soldier, as did the murderous,
thieving Indians of the west, until they
were taught better, as old Womanish,
afraid to meet their braves in aggressive
warfare, etc.
An offensive campaign against the Fill
pinos lurking in the immediate Vicinity
of the erstwhile native s~trongholds, now
in possession of the Americans, and
prosecuted with n and vigor, is the
only way by which our soldiers will be
relieved from the hear presence Of. the
cowardly, murderous foe. To leave them
at the outskirts of the cities and places
from which they have been driven, is to
invite them to annoy, harass and pick off
such soldiers as their s~harpshooters may
discover exposing themselves, or to make
sorties from their jungles upon small
parties of Americans isolated from the
main body. Tha guerrilla mode Of war
fare seems best suited to the Filipino
cowardly nature, and they will pursue it
as long as they are permitted to remain
where they are.
An offensive campaign will impart a
healthy fear Of the American buzz-saw
to the Filipinos. They are sadly in need
of an education in that direction. 1t is
true some lives may be sacrificed in i'm
parting it, but it is extremely problemati-
cal whether as many would be lost in q
short, sharp decisive campaign as, in the
aggregate, would be sacrificed by The
soldiers coping themselves up in fortified
towns, and being exposed to the decimal.
ing rifles of a watchful enemy. An often.
sive campaign appears to be in a direct
line with the interests of the American
arms at the Philippines. G#

EASILY EXPLAINED.

The Helena Independent is at a loss to
understand how senator Nantes Butte
public building bill was defeated by
democratic influences in the house of rep
resentatives. This merely shows that our
contemporary over the range does not
keep posted on the natural. course. of
democratic craftsmanship in Washing
ton.
The bill referred to was made a special
order, after having been adopted by the
house in committee OF the whole. Had it
reached a vote it's passage was a fore
gone conclusion. But democratic men,
bers of that body Immediately adopted
filibustering tactics to prevent a vote be-
ing taken, and succeeded in deferring ac-
ton until the time accorded the measure
had expired. To bring the bill before the
house again, in the closing days of the
session, when it is exceedingly difficult to
SSSoiS IN AhS"S " "
among the impossibilities. This was
known and understood by the democratic
flibusters who robbed Butte of the public
building that is justly it's due.
Why democratic influences in the house
should lave resorted to the Infamous
'last ditch system of flibustering to
prevent a vote being taken on the prop
osition to give Butte a public building,
after the measure had been agreed to in
committee of the whole, is not to be eX-
planned on the grounds of economy. It
and his friends We're working in season
and out of season for the success of the
bill, and it had been carried to the thresh-
old of success, his democratic enemies in
this state brought to bear such influences
as they could ana to drag it down
to defeat.
If Mr.. Hartman, who represents the
democratic party of Montana in the
national Legislature, had had one drop of
blood in his veins loyal to the interests of
Butte he could have prevented the dis
graceful, monkey-faced tactics that de-
prived this city Of a public building. But
the wrong guy-ropes We're pulled on the
sourdough statesman, and he did moth
ing to prevent the filibustering thai
forced Senator Nantes bill to defeat
after it had met the approval of both
houses and acquired the right of way tc
victory.

AS TO PRIN TING PAPER,

The printing paper trust is becoming
anxious over the establishment of new
mills by outsiders to which the higher
price for the commodity has given an i'm
pulse. These competing concerns give the
International Paper Company no little
trouble, for while it may be able to make
money for its Stockholders, with a clear
field and everything it's own way. its abil-
ity to do SO under less favorable condi-
tions is extremely doubtful. Several new
newspaper mills have been quite recently
reported, the aggregate capacity Of which
is something more than one-fourth of The
total output of the mills consolidated In
the trust.
Great Northern company in which, it is
said Boston interests are prominent. The
company is capitalized at $4,000. 900 and
will produce 26O tons a day. Another or
ganization whose mill will be located in
Northern New York, will have a capacity
of about 70 tons a day and, like the Bos-
ton has a large timber area
upon which to draw for it's raw material.
| Still another mill is to b. located in
Wisconsin and Will begin operations I'M
der such auspices, 1t is claimed, that will
enable it to produce paper at prices that
cannot be approached by the older plants
owned by the trust in that state.
And yet still another paper mill will be
erected in this tate. The company rs
formed, it's site, in Gallatin valley, has
been selected and arrangements have
been made to begin the work of construc-
ton in the early spring. It's promoters
are sanguine of success and will push its
completion as fast as possible. All these
printing paper plants, each equipped with
up-to-date machinery, VIII give the Ole
trusts a pretty hard rub. Those trusts
cannot long keep above water with such
sharp competition as the new enterprises
will subject them. They must keep uI
their prices to make a favorable showing
for a lot of mills in which their owners
could not profitably make paper. AND
what, to them, is unfortunate for those
holding their securities, they are unable tt
prevent the threatened intrusion of the
new manufactures noted. Providence
seems to be on the side Of the printers thi:
time.

"Broadly very broadly speaking

The chances at birth that a baby will
eventually marry are 9 in 20, or rather
less than one half. This result may seem
surprising, but it is largely accounted for
by the great mortality Of persons under

to the age of 5.

men from Boston were in Bratteboro Wed.
nesday to consult the officials Of the Brat.
tleborO Street Railway company as To the
advisability of building an electric railroad
to Keene, N. H., by way Of Hinsdale, Ash
uelot, Winchester, Westport and West
SwanzeY. They drove over the route.
starting from Keene, a distance of 20
miles. They made no statement of what
they propose to do, but simply wished TO
ascertain, II possible, the feeling Of the
townspeOple,. as TO whether they would
encounter opposition from the local street
railroad or from any other source, etc.
Another matter which was talked over
was the prospect of a new bridge across
the Connecticut river in place of the old
toll bridge, it being the opinion OF the WIS.,
itors that the present structure would not
be sufficiently strong for the purposes of an
electric railroad. The effort of Z. q
Crosby to get charter from the New
Hampshire legislature for an electric rail
Dad from Brattleboro through Hinsdale
o Mortified, Mass, and its defeat through
the alleged influence of the Boston 4
Maine railroad was cited by the local Off
cials, but the visitors did not appear to be-
lieve that there would arise any difficulty
from that source.
They were told that the people of Brat
tleboro as whole were DESTROYS Of electric
railroad connection with the nearby New
Ham, shire and Massachusetts towns, and
the opinion was expressed that they would
not oppose the building of a road TO Keene
provided they were not called upon to bear
heavy burden of expense.
The Brattleboro company was refused
the privilege of crossing the Boston &
Maine railroad tracks and extending its
line to the freight depot, but whether the
privilege of crossing the same track would
be denied company building from here to
Keene cannot be told. Should such a road
be built it will cross the track not only in
Brattleboro but in Winchester.

Death OF Mrs. Barna A. CLARK.

Helen Charlotte Bullock, widow Of
Barna A. Clark, whose critical illness was
announced last week, died Sunday at hel
Walnut street home. Mrs. Clark was born
March 8, 1886, in Brattleboro. She was
the daughter of William Bullock, an old.
time resident Of Brattleboro, who owned
the property extending from High to Green
streets on the east side of Bullock street
which was named for him, and who built
houses at an early date on either end OF
this land. One of the buildings is still
standing and Is now owned by Warren
Eason. Her grandfather was Capt. Lowell

tween the "YorkeIs" and "Vermonters. -"
was in 1879 chairman of the committee OF
the former "to defend the town against the
pretended state of Vermont" Later, upon
It's admission 10 the Union, he became a
representative of the town and was one of
the prominent citizens until his death.
Mrs. Clark's mother was Charlotte Es-
Textbook, daughter of Major James Ester

Mrs. Clark spent much time with her
son, first at Amherst and in later years in
Baltimore. She spent two years, from 1885,
81, with her son while he was studying in
Germany, where she received much needed
medical treatment for ills from which she
had been suffering for many years. Mr..
Clark went abroad with his wife at this
time.
Mrs. Clark had been great sufferer for
many years from a complication of dis
eases, her death ultimately resulting from
kidney trouble.
She is survived by her sister, Miss Sarah
Bullock, who is critically i'll, and by her
son, Prof VIM. Bullock Clark of Johns
Hopkins university.
Mrs. Clark was for over 40 years men,
