In Anaconda.

~HE results of the democratic city
convention held in Anaconda
yesterday are peculiarly crafty
ing both to the party and the people of
the city at large. The convention itself
was eminently harmonious and enthusi-
astic. The candidates it put in nomina-
ton are gentlemen thoroughly and ia
vorably known to their fellow-towns-
men. Mr. John NJ. Madden will make
| an ideal mayor; a clean-cut man, of
spotless character and splendid execu-
tive ability; a man that the citizens of
Anaconda universally admire and re-
spect. No better selection could posi-
bly, have been made.
In unanimously renominating Mr..
John r. Walkup for the office of city
treasurer, athe convention showed wis
dom. MIR. Walkup has been identified
with the city and its welfare for nearly
ten years. He has always been found
striving to promote it's best interests.
His admirable conduct of the Office of
city treasurer entitled him to renomina-
ton, and the democratic party yester-
day took the greatest pleasure in ten
dering it to him unanimously. Honest
as the day is long, he manages the office
on correct business principles, he guards
the city's money like watchdog.
Police Judge T. d. Fitzgerald was
likewise renominated by an appreciative
party and, like his associates on the
ticket, will be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority Judge Fitzgerald has been
tried in the balance and never found
wanting. A terror to evil doors, he yet
knows how to temper justice with
mercy. His fairness, his integrity, his
absolute impartiality have never been
called in question. The people know
him and they like him. He has every
qualification for this important Office
not excepting ripe experience
In every instance. the gentlemen
nominated for aldermen are highly
qualified for seats in the council cham
ber-they were selected with a view 70
their character and fitness. They are
good, clean, honest. able men They will
serve their respective wards and the
city at large zealously and well.
Considered in its entirety. the demo-
cratic city ticket is exceptionally strong
There is not weak spot in it. No ticket
could possibly have been devised more
acceptable to the people of Anacosda.

THEY PROTEST.
Continued from Page -Four,

Superintendent Stapleton or Mr.. Ki,rov
principal of the High school. of This al,
leged misconduct on the part of the pu-
pills previous to the publication of the
matter.
Again, we question very much
whether any of the pupils from the
central building, much less from the
algn scnool, We're connected with this
uIssfdceIul affair. 1t is well known that
Lnere is motherless gang Of loafers
VINO hang about and who are not only
a nuisance to the public, but a source
or considerable annoyance to the teach
eIs ana TO US during recreation hours.
we resent being made scapegoats for
their malicious conduct. 1t seems to MS
mat the librarians could have put a
stop to this disturbance by refusing to
allow the offenders the privileges of the
iibrary and expelling them from the
building, without making this sweeping
charge against the pupils of our High
school through the public press. While
admitting a newspaper right to air
a grievance of this nature, we most GER
tainly question the justice of the crit
icisms in this matter.
Granted that any or all of the Of
tenders were from the Central building,
which we leave the public to decide.
does that justify the defined statement
that they were High school pupils. who
are very much in the minority in the
building and who have very little time
outside of their regular work to en-
joy the advantage of the library?
We ask that this letter be published
in your paper to put us right, not only
in the eyes of the people OF our own
city, but also before the people of the
state, that the Anaconda High school
pupils are a set of vandals, iloydens,
ruthless dsstroyers, ingraites and even
thieves of public property
That all this was against an institu-
ton which they cherished and appre-
ciated as the gift of one whose munif-
cent generosity will be forever green in
the memories of the boys and gir,s Of
Anaconda"

ages, thus sacrificing a considerable

Under the Thompson administration
warrants of city employees had to be
discounted as high as three per cent.
and never sold at par. When Mayor
Harrington succeeded Mayor Thomp-
son he endeavored to bring the war
rants to par. Under his efficient con-
duct of the finances of the city the dis
count on warrants was soon reduced
from three per cent. to two per cent.
and then to one per cent He inspired
SO much confidence that city warrants
became more and more in demand
Last November the warrants sold at
par and have sold at par ever since.
So the employees of the city under
the present administration receive
every dollar that their warrants call
for. That is something of which no re-
publican administration can boast.

90 EcAUsE the silver republicans
would not all be led into the
gold camp of the party without
protest the Butte Miners red ink ac-
cessory declares that those who pro-
tested were democrats working in the
livery of republicans. Without partic-
ular interest in what the silver repub-
licans did or did not do, the Standard
cannot but remark that many of those
who fought the absolute surrender to
the gold wing of the party were silver
republicans before the Inter Mountain
had decided how it stood. How COM
plete is the triumph of the gold wing of
the party, obtained mainly through the
treachery of the Inter Mountain to the
cause of silver which it professed to
believe in. When the Inter Mountain
condoned and even encouraged the de-
sertion of silver republican legislators
from the support of silver republicans
to the support of Clark, the silver re-
publican party was doomed. Since that
time the Inter Mountains efforts have
been directed toward sliding back into
the regular party as gracefully and as
noiselessly as it could. But how humil-
iatlng has its surrender turned out to
be, how bitter the pill it has been COM
PEELED to swallow. In considerable of
surrendering the Inter Mountain por-
ton of the silver republicans were given
to understand that Charles Shatzlein, a
former silver republican, would be NOM
inc tod fn
portunity to surrender without losing
all, SO the silver republicans announced
that they would place no ticket in the
field. Having completely outwitted the
silver men, the republicans then turned
down Schatzlein and nominated a gold
man for mayor in the person of John N.
Kirk. The Inter Mountain swallows
him on the ground that no national
issues are involved in this campaign.
Yet the Inter Mountain opposed Mr..
Kirk for county attorney last fall on
the ground that he was a gold man,
running on a gold platform. Certainly
national issues are involved in the office
of mayor as much as in the Office of
county attorney Either the Inter Noun
tain was hypocritical last fall or is in
consistent now.
But the gold men gave the Inter
Mountain a worse pill to swallow when
it nominated B. f. Calkins for city
treasurer. Mr.. Calkins, it is true, ran
on the silver republican ticket for coun-
ty treasurer last fall. But when nomi-
mated by the republicans on Saturday,
Mr. Calkins mounted the platform and
publicly repudiated the silver republi-
can party, declaring that he had been
placed on the ticket of that party last
fall without his knowledge or consent,
and that he has been a republican all
the time. Mr.. Sullivan, the candidate
for police magistrate, was also a can
didate on the gold republican ticket last
fall. The candidates for aldermen are
all regular republicans.
So the triumph of the gold republicans
has been absolute and complete. Not a
single candidate was awarded the sill
Yer republicans. Through the efforts of
the Mantle wing the surrender was I'M
conditional, and never was the surren-
der more humiliating. 1t is no wonder
that there is Indignation among those
silver republicans who were in the par
ty as a matter of principle instead of
for office or Doodle.

Protection Behind 1t All.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Our lingo expansonist movement. con-
gressional extravagance, the pension
scandal-these and nearly all our other re-
cent evils are results Of the growth of the
protectionist idea in the republican and
democratic parties in recent years. PRO
lection corrupts the very springs of po-
litical life and disorders our social and in
dustrial existence At present this fact
Is pretty generally ignored but events are
likely to bring 1t tn public notice at an
early date in forcfbte way.

Sarcasm From China.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
There is a delicate touch of sarcasm in
the reply of the Chinese foreign office to
ltaly's demand for San Nun bay. that it
is entirely ignorant of Italy's stand
among the nations" The phrase may be
merely bland Chinese diplomacy. but there
is suspicion of European origin in it.
Since her Abyssinan campaign Italy's
place among the nations has not been
conspicuous.

From the Grand Rapids Democrat.

raked up the story that he was the luck

in irons on orders from the secretary of

One Small CLEAN of Light.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The one rift in the enveloping gloom is
that the organs of high protection are be-
ginning to see and to admit that such ex-
IRENE high tariffs as those in the McKin-
ley and Dingley laws are not required to
protect home manufactures. The break
ing of this light upon the high tariff or
gans is productive of hope that the era of
trusts may, after all, soon be deter
mined
