The school trustees received bids for
ident firms. No such bids should be con-
sidered. Home printing establishments
can always do the work satisfactorily,
and at prices which foreign houses can
not discount. Some persons in Butte
have a habit of sending abroad for vari-
Gus kinds of printing, paying more for a
poorer quality of work than they would
have secured at home. Yet individuals
of this type would be the first to protest
against purchasing in other towns the
supplies which they handle. Live and let
live, should be the motto of every loyal
citizen.

DEWEy'S FAME IN BUTTE.

The free entertainment to be given in
the auditorium tonight by Dewey Lodge
of the Fraternal Union of America, at
which Colonel j. l.. Handley, supreme
secretary of the order will speak. recalls
the romance surrounding the local or
ganization of that body. The night fol-

COMING 70 THEIR SENSES.

A few days since there appeared in
these columns a strong editorial from the
democratic New York Journal in favor
of the presidents policy of expansion.
the Journal is not the only great
democratic newspaper in the east that
has taken grounds against the anti-ex-
pansion doctrine of Colonel Bryan. The
New York Times says:
We fancy that Dewey's reception, the
almost unanimous acceptance OF MS
views touching our opportunities and re-
sponsibilities in the Philippines, nerVed
the president to make one Of the most
positive speeches that ever dropped from
his lips. 1t vas an echo of the popular
voice. Who that heard the acclainas OF
DtNey. the eXpansionist, as he rode from
Grants tomb to the triumnhal arch at
Madison Square, doubted that the multi

sentiment. expressed the unqualified AM
erican approval of his work II the res
possibility it imposed upon the nation:
And there could be no doubt. after the

in view of the military inferiority of its

for some time been trying to induce
Kruger to the war. After a

or the other to fire the first gun.
England, with large interests to pro-
tect, had a right to mobilize roops when
those interests were threatened. This was
accordingly done. When President kru-

are in imminent danger from the Beers.

will follow it up by conceding the de-

be dissipated at once. If he does not,
he is morally bound to become the at

with a show of force. The chances are a

of an attack of modesty, what's the mat

PORTER FOR THE CABINET.
VIII Probably BE at the Head of
Colonial Affairs.

New York, June ga special tc
the Herald from Washington says: A
new executive branch of the govern.
ment with the title. department Of
Colonial Affairs and Foreign Com
merce," OF something similar to it, is
deemed by the administration abso-
lutely necessary to meet new conditions
which confront the United States as
result of the war with Spain.
The word "colonal' is repugnant
for political reasons to some OF the
members of the cabinet, because it
smacks Of imperialism, and it is prob
able that some other title will be
adopted. The meaning, however, will
be the same. Preliminary to recon-
mendations to congress or - .nb.
ject, data is now being compiled con.
corning the control of the colonies by
foreign powers and the extension OF
our commerce into foreign fields, and
members of the cabinet and subordinate
officials of the administration are Civ
ing much thought and time to the de-
tails Of the proposed new department.
American Consuls on duty in the
colonies belonging to foreign powers,
especially those OF Great Britain, are
to be called upon for full reports upon
a list of questions now preparing for
subm ission to them. Robert p. Por-
ter, who is looked upon as the probable
head of the proposed cabinet office
when created, will be consulted in re-
gard to the plans for extending foreign
commerce. which is to become feature
of the new department.

fs on foot among Republican members
OF the house to have committee on
procedure elected by the house, which
will take out of the hands of the speak,
er and the committee on rules the
power which they heretofore exer-
cised. This committee will be all
powerful in deciding what legislation

posed to make the speaker ineligible
to the committee and to have it Of
sufficient size to include many of the
leaders Of the house.
The combination for the organization
of the house and the distribution Of
patronage has been completed by the
selection of Henry A. Casson, of Wis.,
consin, for sergeant-at-arms. The off,
GERS of the old combine are to remain
in their places. By this arrangement,
Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin
and Ohio will have the big places in
