Slight Fire Thursday Night.

About o'clock last Thursday night
there was an alarm Of fire, which was
located at Aycock's printing office, in
Davis warehouse. The flames were
soon subdued with but slight damage
to building or contents. What the
exact amount of loss is has not as yet
been ascertained. The type and
material together with the cylinder
press were injured to some extent
both by fire and otherwise and it will
take some time to straighten things out
and get them in proper shape again.
Mr.. Aycock's loss was fully covered
by insurance. The fire is supposed to
have originated from defective hue.
The building was damaged but little.

| At the Presbyterian church Sunday
Rev. j. w. Paxton, missionary to
China, delivered three interesting ad-
dresses on the subject OF foreign mis-
sions, speaking especially with refer
ence to the work in China, with which
he is familiar. He had good congre-
cations to hear him at each service,
the attendance at night being almost
the full seating capacity of the main
auditorium.
Mr.. Paxton is talented young gen
tleman and a ready and entertaining
speaker. He has been engaged in the
work Of foreign missionary, sta
toned at Foo Chow, China for about
eight years.
1t was real pleasure to US to see
and hear him. In 1S79-twenty years

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-08-30
THE COURTS

Id, -
It has been left for the Butte Miner
to build up a so-called argument upon a
'%palpable typographical error in the Inter
Mountain, which printed the word "ob-
j~ectionable' instead of "unobjection-
able. That kind of journalism CORE
spends with a blow below the belt. or
shooting a man in the back in other lines
of work. Admitting the error. however.
the Inter Mountain would ask the Miner:
What does the democracy propose to do
about the local judiciary? The people of
Butte would like to see the courts lifted
out of politics. Every litigant who de-
sires and expects justice would like to
see that reform accomplished. Every
newspaper that claims to be fair must
concede the airness Of one nomination
by each of the two parties to the end
that both judges may be absolutely in
dependent of politics and politicians, and
may administer the law impartially and
above suspicion of influence from any
ource
The republicans have selected a can
didate who is free from personal or pro-
.fessional sympathy or entanglement with
any corporation or faction or power in
Silver Bow county. Now let the demo-
Gratis do the same thing. To refuse is to
confess either hat the lifting of the
bench above politics is objectionable"
for some reason or that the local demOc-
racy has within it's ranks no man worthy
of confidence. The latter contention Is
not tenable, as the Inter Mountain knows
plenty of capable and honest democrats
who are as free from corporation influence
as Mr.. Bacorn. The question therefore
is: Will the democrats meet the repub-
licans half way and elevate the admin
istration of the law above the mud and
mire Of politics? What is the view OF
the Miner, which has been a severe critic
of the old system and should naturally
indorse the plan Of one nomination by
each of the two parties? If there axe
no typographical errors in this article to
give the Miner excuse for overlooking
the subject or to Justify an exhibition Of
it's subtle and original wit. viii that in
fuential and fair-minded journal give
to the public the benefit of it's opinion?
Does the esteemed organ of democracy
desire the courts lifted above politics or
mot?
Is not the plan proposed by the repub-
lieans an exhibition Of good faith?
Is not their nominee a man who is
wholly unobjectionable personally and
professionally?

Us issuing a circular in the farming dis
tricts showing that some kinds of farm
ing machinery are costing more now than
four years ago. There is another differ
ence, too, between then and now. Four
years ago the farmers could not afford
to buy farming machinery at any price,
as they had to pay the interest on their
mortgages; now they write out a check
Tor what implements they require and it
is cashed at the bank where they have
"a deposit and the few cents difference in
cost is not deemed worthy of notice.

Having neither a presidential ticket
nor a national reform they can honestly
defend, the democrats of Montana are
busily engaged in diverting public at
tention to local issues and stirring up
personal prejudices by the circulation
of false and petty accusations about the
men who are developing the country, or
nasty stories about collars which were
never made nor fitted. Nine-tenths of
the political gossip on the streets is
wholly baseless.- The people know what
is true VIA is false, and on election
day will make wise discrimination. They
are not to be misled by false arguments
or alarmist stories. They will not be-
lieve a tenth of what they hear and
read. They. will think and act for them
selves. They will vote for the party
they think right in national affairs, and
on local issues they will be found to
know more thar either the newspapers
or the politicians. The Inter Mountain
has great confidence in the common
people.

fully under our rule, no imperialism
could be predicted on her accession. 1t
was necessary that the ~two-headed
giant should be coated before Jack and
and so imperialism was born, and it's
actual father was William Jennings
Bryan. He is now ~endeavOring to de-
stroy his own child.
Mr.. DENLY then contends that not a

of President Mckinley to indicate that

1T is believed by the insurgents h a
Bryan's election will insure their indie
lp~endence, and they are encouraged to
hold out. The success OF the democratic
party means success to them. If the
tTagals quit fighting and take the oath
of allegiance that moment the para
mount issue is dead. n so is the de-
mocracy. In his contest the democrats
stake their all on the continuance OF
fighting. It strikes one as odd that a
great party hould base it's hopes of sue
cess on the killing and wOunding Of u
troops. Will not a flame of patriotism
rise up over the land which will testify
at all hazards we Will stan by

CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
OFFERED.
The writer takes up the actions Of the
commission, Of which he was a member,
and, after telling Of its preliminary work,
says:
Upon arriving at Manila the commits
sion issued q proclamation, which was
signed by the three civil members and
by Admiral Dewey and General OTIS, in
which every guarantee Of civil and re
ligiOus freedom was offered. The proc
lamation stated that the most ample
liberty of self-government will be grant
ed to the Philippine people. which is
reconcilable with the maintenance Of a
wise, just, stable. effective, and economf-
cal administration Of public affairs, and
compatible with the sovereign and inter-
national rights and obligations Of the
United States
1T stated that the civil rights Of the
Philippine people will be guaranteed n
protected to the fullest extent, religious
freedom was assured, and all persons
shall have an equal standing before the
law It denounced any exploitation Of
the islands and guaranteed to the people
an honest and effective civil service in
which to the fullest extent practicable
natives should be employed. 1t prom
ised reforms Of education IN the effec-
tive administration Of Justice, and it an
nounce the purpose of the American
government is the welfare and advance
ment Of the Philippine people,
In issuing this proclamation the COM
mission was acting under the orders and
instructions Of the president. There was
not a hint Of imperialism but. IN the
contrary, local self-govsrnment in all
respects as complete as we enjoy was
FOOTHOLD IN THE EAST.

Hon. W. A. Clark is setting a good
example to his political supporters He
is not allowing politics to interfere with
his enjoyment of life. He is a wonder
full worker but has the faculty of throw
ing off dull care and forgetting his re-
sp%onsibilities whenever he decides a
rest and recreation are necessary. He
is in the Pyrenees, where the climate is
perfect, the company good and where no
politicians can reach him by mail or
wire. His example should be followed
by his friends. 1t is two months to
election day, and entirely too early to
allow local campaigning to demoralize'
business, sever friendly relations n
start the political roorback on its
rounds. The average citizen gets moth
ing out of politics but an occasional
headache, and there is really no oeca-
sion yet to stir up the animals.

Four years ago Perry Belmont was
against Bryan and the Bryan boosters
and did not hesitate to say so. Referring
to them in a speech he used this Ian
guage:
They lead directly to reputation, to lat
money, the degradation of the supreme
court by political control, an unconstitu-
tional impairment of the obligation of
and interference with, the freedom of
contracts, a reckless attack upon our
national and monetary integrity, as we'll
as upon our whole system of commercial
credits. They war upon what
constitutes the strength and power of
the nation, alarmirg all it's interests,
shaking confidence, thereby threatening
to destroy the sources Of labor. to the
injury and detriment IF the workingman.
