Mr.. Mantle never has asked n never
will ask any political office at the hands
of the democratic organization. Through
loyalty to the silver cause he supported
Mr.. Bryan in 1896, not as a democrat, not
as a believer in democratic principles.
not as an admirer of democratic history,
but in the hope that the lines hen def
nitely drawn on the financial issue might
lead up to the triumph of bimetallism.
This opinion was shared by 1,0O0. 900 silver
republicans, who lave lived to learn that
democracy's assumed love for the white
metal is the hollow mockery Of a great
cause-a pretence through which to Sc
cure political plunder-and that the
recognition of silver must finally come,
in the industrial progress of the country,
through other and more reliable sources.
Though it solicited a correction, il
wrong. the Independent did not appre-
ciate it when made. 1t preferred to nave
challenged. asking for a correction mere
~ by way of emphasis. The Inter Noun
tain published the paragraph from the
Independent to which it made rejoinder,
that the reader might have a complete
understanding of the question involved
The Independent does not reproduce our
reply but in lieu thereof it says:
With a surplus of Understandings
for its own needs. the esteemed Inter
Mountain chooses to do some under
standing for The Independent. With
full acknowledgment of the fact that
the Inter Mountain is capable of doing
all the understanding for the state
on all subjects, The independent will
exercise it's ~prerogative of choosing the
bliss said to be a concomitant Of ignor-
ance rather than impose upon the Inter
Mountain the necessity of exposing the
folly of it's wisdom.
If it were not for the confession of it's
own Ignorance which the Independent
makes in the closing sentence of the fore
going paragraph. the Inter Mountain
would suspect that a deliberate and cold
blooded attempt had been made by the
Helena paper to get sarcastic. But when
it says that it Twill exercise it's preroga-
tive of choosing the bliss said to be a
c~onconitant of ignorance" instead of an
noying any one else with 1.-The necessity
of exposing the folly of it's wisdom" it
really shows a consideration for the pub
lie patience that is c~ommendable.

MINERS UNION DAY.

No one could look upon the splendid
parade in Butte today without realizing
the great debt which every prosperous
community owes to labor. Too often one
is inclined to enjoy the fruits of toll and
give little thought to those who make
progress and civilization a possibility.
But the grand spectacle of thousands of
sturdy men, representing different voca-
tions in life, marching through the streets
Of a city made great and powerful and
prosperous by we'll directed physical en-
ergies expended in the development of
its resources, was an inspiration to the
on-looker-a sight never to be forgotten.
In no place in the world is the God
given right of labor to organize for it's
own protection exercised with greater
benefit to the community than in Butte.
In this city there is nc clash of sentiment
honest days pay for an honest days
work, and the application of union prin-
ciples benefit employer and employee alike
In rounding out the opportunities of life.
A community Of interests. that stand
for the welfare and prosperity of all, has
brought together upon common ground
those who labor and those who employ
labor, until a mutual understanding har-
monies all differences and business rests
upon a solid and enduring foundation,
and the upbuilding of the city becomes
the concern and pride of every citizen
within our gates.
If the recognition of the rights of man
makes civilization a possibility. if it
makes a nation great, it can bring to a
city like Butte the sunshine of prosperity
and the blessings of progress. The
Miners Union, and kindred o~rganiza-
tons, have been important factors in the
industrial life of this city, elevating the
toiler to a higher level of citizenship by
widening his opportunities for self-cul-
ture, charging the comforts of home life.
and affording him the benefits that
should come to those who take an i'm
portant part in the upbuilding of the
community.
The prosperity of the toiler, which en-
ables him to keep in touch with progress
sive ideas of life, is the safety of a re-
publican form of government. 1t is worth
more in the protection Of capital than all
the gilded trappings of power with which
a monarchy enslaves it's people.
Miners Union day is an important an
niversary to this city, not alone because
1t is an occasion upon which organized
labor makes a showing of it's splendid
membership, but because it impresses
upon the public mind the dignity and
worth of labor as a factor of human
progress. 1t arouses renewed interest in
the welfare of those who toll, educating
mankind to the great truth that all men
are created free and equal, and that
whatever the vocation one may follow in
carrying out his obligations as a citizen.

GEN. MILES POSITION.
NO Feasibility of an Issue With the
New Secretary.

New Secretary
FRIENDS of Gen Miles are responsible for
the statement that there is not the least
possibility of his making any issue with the
incoming Secretary, MIR. Root, over the
functions of his Office. They make this
statement feeling that there would be no
occasion for any action of that kind on the
part of Gen. Miles in order to secure the
assignment to his care of such matters of
business connected with it, the purely mil
ltary branch of the War Department, as
should properly be reposed in the major
general commanding the army
Formally, army headquarters has contin-
uously exercised most of these functions
even during the period of strained relations
between the Secretary of War and the ma
Jor general commanding. The regulations,
which have all the force of law, and in
cases, the law itself, require the signature
OF the commanding general of the army to
nearly all important orders relating to the
troops themselves and to personnel. 1t is
true that this signature has often been
perfunctory task. the details of the order
having been arranged outside of tNc Office
of Gen. Miles and the papers having been
brought to him for signature rather as
matter of form
But whatever reason there may have been
for this state of affairs during the war,
other conditions have gradually come into
play, and with a notable Strengthening Of
the relations between the White House and
army headquarters, it is believed the time
is now ripe for complete removal Of what
ever misunderstanding there may have eX-
isted and for the return to army healquar-
tiers of all of the important functions with
which it was formerly clothed, including
not only all subjects relating to the move
ments of the troops, but matters of cam
paign as well Indeed, it is intimarad that
Gen. Miles has recently given advice upon
technical military matters and that this
advice has been very gratefully received
The retirement of Secretary Alger may also
have the effect to make easier the restora-
uon of the old state of affairs, for it is to
be presumed that the incoming Secre; e;ary
Will assume office without any bias or feel
ing in this matter.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
A Deficit for This Month of About
SS.5OO.NON.

The monthly statement of receipts and
expenditures, to be issued by the Treasury
Department this afternoon, will show a
dencit for the month of about SS, soc, 600
somewhat more than expected at the be-
ginning OF the month. 1t is confidently eX-
pected, however, that there will not be an
other month in the year with such def
cit, and it is doubtful if more than one or
two other months will show a deiicit at all
The other months will show surpluses It
is thought that the deficit of this month
will be wiped out in a few months With
few exceptions, there is always a deficit at
the beginning of fiscal year. The various
departments draw heavily under the new
appropriations, and during the first month
secure sufficient money to run for a good
while.
The total receipts for the month have
been S4S,054,2 ,259, from the following
sources: Internal revenue, S2S,322 574 40;
customs, S16,971. .454.2 81: miscellaneous, So
6o2291t The expenditures were S5G,573,-
Ooo. Internal revenue shows an increase
of about S2000,000 over the same month
year ago. and customs an increase of about
81 000, 900.
For the month of July, 1898, the total
receipts We're S43. .S47, los. The expenditures
the same month We're S74 263 475, deficit
for the month of about $50, ,200, 900. This
was due to the war then in progress be-
tween Spain and this country During
that month the War Department eXpendi-
lures were nearly $50. 600, 900, while they
reach about S19,300,000 for the month now
ending. This is considerably above the
average. The expenditures on account of
the War Department will also be heavy
the coming month, owing to the arrival of
soldiers from the Philippines and the send
ing out of others. The soldiers who will
arrive from Manila will have to be paid off,
and the travel pay they will receive will
be large, necessitating the payment of mil
lions in this item alone

France, England and Russia. Details as

what reservation was made by the United
States delegates in signing the arbitration
treaty. 1t is contectured that provision has
been made in arbitration agreements be-
tween two powers having issues to settle
for a rehearing iE case of newly discovered
evidence or the disclosure of facts warrant
ing it.
The treaty will not become effective, so
far as the United States is concerned at
least. until it has been ratified by the Sem
ate so that its provisions could not be
availed of at this time to settle the boun-
dary dispute between the United States and
Canada. Even after the treaty is ratified
it is said, arbitration of this question could
not be invoked save with the full consent

harmful in itself, but the generality OF
young men spend too many OF perhaps he
most valuable years OF their life n the

The mass of boys, he declares, by carry
ing their education beyond the po.nt re-
quired TO enable them to cope with the

young men are crowding into poorly paid
places where they do not have 10 soil their
hands or do manual labor, and good chances
for promotion go begging in many cases.
This condition Of things. he says, is Gu
rious, and must be explained before the
