MCKINLEY ON WASHINGTON.

President McKinley's address on
Washington at the Masonic ceremonies
COMMUNICATING the hundredth ami
versary of the death OF that illustrious
American, as worthy OF being care
fully read by every American. The
president said:
Not alone in this country, but
throughout the world have Masons
taken especial interest in the observ-
ance of this centennial anniversary.
The fraternity justly claims the I'M
mortal patriot as Il OF its members;
the whole human family acknowledges
him rs one of its greatest bencfactors.

other organizations, our citizens eV-

ages with undiminished luster.
The struggling republic for which
Washington was willing to give his
life, and for which he ever freely spent
his fortune, and which at all times was
the object of his most earnest solicit
tudc, has steadily and wonderfully de-
veloped along the lines which his
sagacity and foresight carefully
planned. 1t has stood every trial. and
at the dawn of a new century is strong
err than ever to carry forward it's mis-
sion of liberty. During all the inter
vening years it has been true, forever
true. to the precepts Of the constitution
which he and his illustrious colleagues
framed for it's guidance and govern
ment.
He was the national architect, says
Bancroft, the historian. and but fol

its independence, could not have
formed its union. could not have pu

The proceedings of the recent flax
convention will be put in type and dis
tributed through the state. The flax
crop was one of the most profitable
grown in the state of North Dakota
last season, q d Il great share Of the
total crop came from the fields of the
wheat state. Interest in the growth
of flax will therefore be Of advantage
to the farmers and the publication
and distribution of the proceedings of
the Fargo convention will serve the
farmer advantageously.

ing their just share of public improve
ments, such as sidewalks and paving.
In the senate on Wednesday he intro
auced n resolution calling upon the
proper authorities to transmit to the
senate at once a list showing in detail
the property Of the District of Column
bia which is exempt from taxation,
and also a statement in detail showing
''the property upon which the payment
for construction and maintenance Of
sidewalk has been refused. In x
PLANTATION of, the resolution. Senator
Hansbrough said to the senate:
On the last assessment there was
about $402, 100000 worth of assessable
property in the District of Columbia.
OF that amount there was about &c.
10000 worth that was exempt from
taxation. l understand that some Of
the persons who have charge of some
portions Of the property which is ex-
empt from taxation have declined to
construct sidewalks about their own
property and that the district has been
obliged to construct those sidewalks.
The object of the resolution is to ascer-
tain the property by description un-
derstand those descriptions are very
brief and can be made in a very short
tlllc-CO NSCoICllu tIlc uutlllUer VI pieces
of property in the district that are ex-
empt from taxation, so that we may
locate this fault, if fault it be.
Mr.. Hansbrough would make q good
mayor, for he evidently is in favor of
every property holder bearing his just
share of the public burdens. There is
no mayor in Washington, no board of
aldermen, no city officials of any kind.
The capital city is run by committees
of congress. in connection with three
district commissioners appointed by
the president. There is no ward poll
tics in the city, anu therefore it is cas-
Ter here than anywhere else in the
country to do things as they should be
done. 1t has been said by those who
are competent to JUICE that Washing
ton is the best governed city on the
continent.

ROOSEVELT on EXPANSION.

Governor Roosevelt says in the In
dependent: OF course, our whole ma
tiOnal history has been n Of eXpan-
sion. Under Washington and Adams
we expanded westward to the Missis-
sippi; under Jefferson we expanded
across the continent to the mouth of
the Columbia; under Monroe we ex-
pandcd into Florida, and then into
Texas and California;; and finally,
largely through the instrumentality Of
Seward, into Alaska; while under ev-
cry administration the process of ex-
pansiOn in the great plains and the
Rockies has continued with growing
rapidity. While we had a frontier
the chief feature Of frontier life was
the endless war between the settlers
and the red men. Sometimes the i'm
mediate occasion for the war was to
be found in the conduct of the whites
and sometimes in that Of the reds, but
the ultimate cause was simply that we
were in contact with 4 country held by
savagcs or h~alf-savages. Where we
abut on Canaua there is no danger Of
war, nor is there any danger where we
abut on the well settled regions Of Mex
leo. But elsewhere war had to con-
tinue until we expanded over the coun-
try. Then it was succeeded at once
by Il peace which has remained I'M
broken to the present day. In North
America, us elsewhere throughout the
entire world, the expansion of Il civil
lied nation has invariably meant the
growth of the area in which peace is
normal throughout the world.
The same will he true of the Philip
pines. IT the men who have coun-
selled national degradation, national
dishonor, by urging us to leave the
Philippines and put the Aguinaldan
oligarchy in control of those islands
could have their way. we should merely
turn them over to rapine and blood
shed until some stronger, manlier
power stepped in to do the task we
had shown ourselves fearful of per-
forming. But rs it is, this country
will keep the islands and will establish
therein a stable and orderly govern
ment. so that one more fair spot of
the worlds surface shall have been
snatched from the forces Of darkness.
Fundamentally the cause of expansion
is the cause of peace.
1t is only the warlike power of a
civilized people that can give peace to
the world. The Arab wrecked the
civilization of the Mediterranean
coasts: the Turk wrecked the civiliZa-
ton Of southeastern Europe. and the
Tartar desolated from China to Russia
and to Persia, setting back the pro-
gress of the world for centuries: solely
because the civilized nations opposed
to them had lost the great fighting
qualities, and, in becoming overpeace-
full. had lost the power of keeping
peace with Il strong hand.

MlLIET'S ORIGINAL.
The Woman Seen in "The Angelus" Ii
Visited by Many Pilgrims.

The original of the woman who served
as the inspiration of Millet's famous pic
tlre 1.-The Angelus," Is a resident of Bar
bizon, a little village in the midst of the
forest of Fontainebleau, and the place
has become a sort of shrine to when
thousands make a pilgrimage every year
The woman lives in a little cottage close
by the spot where she was born. She Is
known as Mother Adele and her home is
a little vine-clad cottage in which she
lives a frugal but comfortable life
troubled only by the over-inquisitive tour
lists and by her rheumatism. She must
have been an attractive woman once, for
even now, although she has witnessed the
passing of more than three score years
and 10, there are traces of former beauty
in her wrinkled face.
Mother Adele shows evidences of native
refinement, although she has worn her
fingers blunt by ton and her form Is bent
under the burdens she has had to bear.
When she looks at you her smile is like a
benediction and the beautiful things of
earth are not lost upon her. Her man
ner is cheerful, as one who feels she has
not lived in vain. If questioned closely,
she will tell you of the day when the
great artist came through the dense for
est with his wife and children, leaving
behind him the gay city of Paris with its
schools of painting and its models
She knows a great deal OF the very
hard days which followed for Millet-the
toll, the anxiety. the disappointments She
nursed his five c..lldren, and did the little
field work in the garden adjoining the
cottage When he saw his nurse girl
Adele and her father reverently bowling
their heads in prayer at the ringing of
the Angelus he conceived the picture
which, if not his best work, is yet the
best known and the one most appreciated
by the people Mother Adele calls her.
self a child of God. She looks it in the
painting and she lives it every day in her
humble cottage.

THEIR SIDE OF THE CASE
Statement of the Master Plaster
ers' Association.
NO INCREASE IN PRICE
The Organization Has None OF the Ele-
ments of a Trust-The Object Is to
Do Away With Profltless
Competition.

To the Editor of the Standard:
In response to an article which ap-
peared in Fridays Standard we wish
to make few statements. The Master
Plasterers' association was organized a
year ago last June, and John Rafferty,
was one of the prime movers in its Or
ganization, as all mechanics and con-
tractors in the city know. The price of
plastering was fixed at the time at IS
cents per yard for brick work and 40
cents per yard for lath and stone work.
Mr.. Rafferty, continued member of the
association until April of the present
year, when he was expelled from the
Builders exchange and the Master
Plasterers' association. During his
membership he did large number of
jobs in the city at 40 and as high as
AZ cents per yard.
There Is no strike on between the
fathers and plasterers. The situation is
simply this: The price of rlastering is
the same this year as it was last, and
has been with the exception of a brief
spell during the present season. When
the contractors saw that they were
making nothing the price was again
raised to 40 cents, and Mr.. Rafferty, was
leiueSleu u Ienu ms cooperation,
which he promised to do. But, when
the other 10 contractors in the city COM
menced to figure at 40 cents, he took
work at little less, and it is for this
action of his that the fathers refuse to
work for him.
The members of the Master Plaster
ers' association are doing work this year
at the same figures they were charging
last year, and there is no intention of
demanding an increase, Any man in
the business knows that 40 cents per
yard is only a fair living price when
honest, faithful work is done, and when
any one undertakes to do it for less the
owner is the one who will suffer
All but three of the members of the
plasterers' association are married men
and property owners in Butte, RESPONSE
BILE and respected members of the COM
munity and it Is not at all likely that
they would voluntarily enter into a
combination or trust to hold up or rob
the public when such a course would
assuredly react upon themselves. They
contend, though, that it is their right
and privilege to form an organization
for the betterment of their own condi-
ton and to do away with a competition
that Is nothing short of enslaving and
pauperizing in the end. Respectfully,
