HURRAH For BUTTE!
worry

The advices from Manila state that it
was not only the First Montana yolun-
teers who pulled down the rebel flag at
Malolos, the rebel capital and raised the
stars and stripes in it's place, but that the
work was performed by the soldier boys
from Butte. The achievemenrs is gratify-
ing to local pride, for the brave boys will
go down in history as the heroes Of a hard
fought struggle for supremacy. Il
A strong sentimental interest always
attaches to the capture of the colors Of the
foeman, and especially is this true when
the capital of the enemy is seized. . Men
who attempt 20 haul down the colors of
a foe are generally the most desirable tar
gets for the sharpshooters whoh have them
under protection, and the hero of many
hard fought battle meets his death
when he lays his hand upon the flag of an
enemy.
The sentiment voiced by Gen. Dix
when he said: "If any man attempts to
take down the flag, shoot him on the
spot" is dominant with all classes of peo-
pie. Hence. the good work of the Butte
boys will live in history and rebound to
their credit for all time to come.

THE STANDARDS TESTIMONY.

The jolly, good natured little fellow who
edits the spicy sheet known as the Rocky
Mountain Celt, has the following in his
issue of April /:
Especially vicious are the sanderous
paragraphs from the Inter Mountain
against the democratic candidate for
mayor, because of the obscure meaning in
their lines, denoting a lack of courage in
the writer to be honest with an honest
man.
AS the "slanderous paragraphs re-
ferred to by our astute contemporary
were copied verbatim from an editorial
that appeared in the Anaconda Standard,
August 20, 1897, we must confess that they
We're more or less obscure. Aside from our
liberal quotations from that paper, the
Inter Mountain has said nothing of per-
sonal character against Mr. Mccarthy.
The able editor of the Celt is assailing
the Standard, not the Inter Mountain, in
the foregoing statement He has yet to
learn that the Butte Times and its coad-
jutor the Anaconda Standard, are recog-
nized democratic authorities on personal
character and political principles. 1t is
too bad that a republican paper cannot
quote an editorial expression from the
Standard, giving due credit therefor,
without being abused for doing SO.

THE BANQUE7 QUESTION.

Just as the eastern and western wings
of the democratic party were about to
hurl themselves into each others arms
and permit the scaIdirg tears Of a poll
ticar reunion to course down the back
of their respective necks, and ir-
rigate their backbones for the contest of
1900, another question has arisen TO in
terrupt the harmony of the occasion.
Leading western papers, like the Ara
conda Standard, had repudiated the free
coinage ratio paving the way for the re-
union that had been so carefully planned
by the party leaders both east and west,
and the work of amalgamation was pro-
crossing nicely, when, alas, the banquet
issue arose like nightmare, with steel

FRANCHISES.

If through amy misfortune the demo-
cracy wins today's battle in this city, and
secures control of the legislative branch
of local government an early effort may
be looked 60. to secure from the city
council some valuable franchises. In
line with this the following from the Bos-
ton Herald is in point:
Governor Roosevelts recommendation,
that joint Legislative committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the subject of
taxing public franchises held by corpora
tions, is one which we are glad to see
brought forward, for the reason that the
subject is one upon which it would be
difficult to throw too much light. On gen.
eral principles it may be said that public
service companies, particularly those MAX
ing special use, IN one way or another, of
public property in the form of streets,
should be expected to make some special
and adequate return for the advantages
that are granted to them, particularly if
these take the form of exclusive rights
and opportunities; but, having admitted
this, the question of what the returns
should be is one upon which opinions may
widely and even wisely, differ. If the
return made takes the form of franc hiSe
tax, the money which the community re-
ceives may go into the public treasury,
but the result of such payment may
be to prevent the public from receiving
benefits which would accrue if this ap-
preparation of a part of the corporate in
come was not made. 1t might for eX-
ample, be better to have lower rates Of
fare though here, again, if such a re-
ducton is forced, it may so impair the
corporate resources that the interested
company will not be in position to de-
delop it's system in a satisfactory man
ner If, after paying what would be
generally considered an adequate return
to its shareholders, a street railway COM
pany utiliZeS such surplus income as it
may have in extending its system of
tracks, in running frequent cars, and
these at Improbable times, in keeping up
it's rolling stock to the highest point of
comfort and cleanliness, it furnishes con-
ditions all of which tend to benefit the
community quite as much as, and perhaps
more than a stipulated sum o. money paid
into the municipal treasury.

York arranged sumptuous banquet
wherewith to do honor to the fame of
Thomas Jefferson. William Jennings
Bryan was invited to attend He refus-
ed to do so unless the aforesaid demo-
cracy would endorse the platform of the
last national democratic convention.
This the aforesaid democracy refused
to do having preserved a copy of the
Anaconda Standard of January 9th in its
vest pocket, whereupon the tate stand
ard bearer of the silver forces declared
in effect that it would wear the rough
edges off the Jeffersonian simplicity of
the democratic party to pay $40 per plate
at a banquet. when q mans innards
could be satisfactorily distended for the
small sum of one dollar.
This gave his friends the cue, and
rival celebration of Jefferson's birthday
at ere dollar a head was projected in
New York 1t is needless to say that the
democracy of the empire state is all
broken up over this new split in the party.
The division on the silver question was
bad enough but to think that just as
that question was about to be peacefully
adjusted through the efforts of Dick
Croker and the Anaconda Standard, the
democracy must again be split wide open
on the issue of maccaroni and cheese.
Il was not so difficult for the eastern
ana western democrats to fix up their
differences on the silver question. for the
political hunting grounds of 1900 will be
filed with postofices, revenue collector
ships and other fat game, but to adjust
the great financial principles involved in
the controversy over ten dollar and one
dollar banquets is quite another thing
It begins to look as if the ever ready
democracy of Montana must again fly
to the rescue Each wing of the demo-
cracy in this state held banquets, with
pretty good victuals on tap, it is said,
without charging the rank and file a
cent One banquet was to celebrate the
men who voted for Mr. w. A. Clark and
the other banquet was to celebrate the
men who didn't: but a neither feed did
the guests have to sink on their reserves
and run cross-cut for the collateral to
pay for the wrinkle -eliminators that
adorned the festival table.
That sort of a plan would be a happy
medium between the two extremes in
New York. Instead of charging the boys
$40 a plate, with champagne on the side,
or 81 a plate with reservoir juice on the
inside why not give the boys $40 worth
of fodder and fresh napkins for nothing,
and thus save the grand old party? That
is the Montana way of doing things.
When man goes to polit' II banquet
in Montana he does not haVe IiEcount
his future salary, on the ore hand, or
wipe his mouth on his coat sleeve on the
other hand. He simply jams himself full
of quail on toast and seven kinds of wine,
hulrahs for the wing of the democracy
which happens to own him, and then
slides down under the table.
II is really too bad to see the national
, democracy split wide open on the BAN
quet issue when a little Montana eclat
might settle the controversy, and save
the ghost Of Thomas jefferson a heap of
worry.

Louisville. June 22-The second day Of

so far as proceedings of record so.

Chairman Redwine and the other tenn

Tonight the Hardin people are busy

followers are using the Stone e-GOebel COM

that they will attempt to nominate the

COL Arguelles is one of the most con

The rebels have learned that the Ameri-
can volunteers are returning to the Unit

snow that they construe this to mean
that the Americans are abandoning the
war, and the Fiipinos are ENCOURAGED
thereby.
The outposts of the Washington regl-
