bRYAnS LITTLE BOY
AXIS SOME QUESTIONS.
A collOquy that Ended in Talk About
the "GObIins."

Mr.. Bryan, the handsome Democratic
candidate, was on the Lincoln train to-
day. A bright little boy, his son George,
sat by the candidate and was asking
childish questions.
Papa" he said, "what did the Hun
garian miners out in Colorado mean
when they shook flags marked 16 to /
in Roosevelts face?'
"Why, my SON." said Bryan, as he
beamed on his boy with loving smile,
why, the miners meant that they want
ed our money to be 1G to /. That is,
they wanted it so that 16 ounces OF sill
yer would be one ounce OF gold"
But, papa, 16 ounces of our coined
silver will buy one ounce of gold now,
won't itY' asked George, opening his
eyes wide.
Eyes, my son. Congress did pass a
law making that ratio. Sixteen ounces
OF our coined silver will buy one ounce
of coined gold now"
'Then, papa" said George thoughtful
ly, "if gold and silver are now 16 to
by act Of Congress, what more do they
want? What do they keep yelling for
'16 to l. for?"
"Well, my son." said Bryan thought
fully, "'16 to l. is all right for the farm
er, mechanic and business man, but the
miner wants more for his silver. He
wants to sell his 16 ounces of uncoincd
silver, which is really worth in the mar

WILL Be HOT
TIME TONIGHT

The democratic primaries will be
held this evening. This accounts
for the unusual number of miners
and other employees of the Anaconda COM
pany seen on the streets this Afternoon. All
of the employees of the Anaconda mines
We're laid off this Afternoon and the night
shift was instructed not to report for
work until tomorrow. With this army
at the primaries tonight the DAILY demo-
Gratis say that there will be no occasion to
run n special trains between Anaconda
and Butte.
The DAILY men are confident of carrying
all but a few precincts tonight. They con-
cede the Butte Reduction Works precinct
and a few outlying precincts to the Clark
forces. The Clark people are very reti-
cent as to their plans, and it Is rumored
this afternoon that they will make no
contest, although it lis supposed this is
merely a ruse to throw the others off
their guard.
The Clark people have a few cards up
their sleeve to play yet, and the capture
of the primaries will not mean the cessa-
ton of hostilities by any means. If the
Daily men are allowed to play their string
out tonight at the primaries, the Clark
people will not be mapping. They believe
that In some of the precincts in tehir zeal
to carry out the instructions of the shift
bosses there will be more votes cast than
there are voters in the precinct and this
itself will show that fraud was resorted
to in packing the primaries.
If beaten tonight the Clark supporters
will carry them matter into the state con-
v%ention, in the hope that the vote of Sill
yer Bow county will be thrown out. With
Silver o county thrown out the Clark
men would win hands down and Senator
Clark would probably be named as one
of the delegates to the national conven-
ton.

ANOTHER CENSUS EVADER.
FRANK SMITH ARRESTED BY
DEPUTY U. s.. MARSHAL.
Butte Business Mems Association Of
fers Some Wholesome Advice
Regarding Duty.

Another individual who refused to an
swer the questions propounded by a CEN
sus enumeration is likely to feel Uncle
Sans wrath. Frank Smith, alias Anton
Dobezynski, who Is said to be an en-
ploye of the Montana Ore Purchasing
smelter, n whose residence is No. 739
Utah avenue, was arrested last night by
Deputy United States Marshal Meikle-
john at the request of w. c. Atherton,
one of the enumerators for that district.
The latter said that Smith positively re-
fused to answer the questions asked
Smiths bond was fixed at 500 and his
hearing will take place next Monday
morning before United States Commits
sioner Wood in the United States court
room
The following statement, prepared by
the president and secretary of the Bust
ness = Mems association, Messrs. Hight
and O'Brien. will be of interest to those
who have permitted themselves to be-
lieveathat the matter of census taking is
merely a josh:
1.-The Butte Business Mems association
learns with regret that many unneces-
sary Instructions are placed in the way
of the census enumerators by our citi-
zens,2 who do not realize the Importance
of having every name within our city
limits placed to the credit of Butte. The
time in which the work is to be lone is
very short. Already some enumerators
have finished their and handed
in their reports. The chief trouble has
come. from inability to find the men who
live in hotels and boarding houses or
sleep in lodging houses, n the disinclin-
alton of the prOprietors to give the
names of their boarders.
"It is manifestly the duty Of these and
of all who employ labor and of all others.
irrespective of occupation. who lave any
pride in the city's growth to give all pos
sible help to those having this work in
hand.

THE PARTY AND THE CITIZEN.

1t has become quite the fashion In
this country to speak of political parties
as though they were training schools
of vice, and to refer to the partisan in
tones that class him with the criminal.

spectacle Attachments seem to be of the
opinion that the supreme duty of the

no more secure basis than rather

tory of this country, from jefferson

there has not been one single figure Of
the larger mould, not one single individ-
ual who has powerfully erected the
course on policy OF the nation that was
not robust PARTISAN. 1t is no sort
of answer TO say that only the partisan

animation OF it's business methods.
Meantime. it can push the work OF
making contracts with business men
for $50 year. The public Will be
gradually growing accustomed to ex-
tortionate charges; the Bell Company's
cut rate to residences will be getting
in its work on the Southern States
Company, which is seemingly willing
to so to pot. At the end OF this vista
looms the prospect--pleasant and IA
mil!ar to the Bell Company-of an I'M
disguised monopoly of the telephone
business of Norfolk. Therefore the
word is, for the present, DELAY AND
YET STILL MORE DELAY.

ment should begin at the top and come
down, while the other holds that 1t
should begin at the bottom and go up;
one holds that the citizen should re-
spond to the will of the ruler and the
other that the ruler should respond to
the will OF the citizen. In reality,
everywhere and always. tho clash is
between these opposing views.
The man who has not the discern
ment to see that this is the real con
test, and to take his position resolutely
on the one side or the other, is of neces-
sity mere discard in the game. He
proves his own inefIiciency, his inabil-
ity to take hand with his more robust
fellows in the give and take of the
combat. He is in the nation, but not of
it.
At the present moment the political
contest in this country is waging pre-
cisely on the broad lines above indi-
Gated. The purpose of the men in CON
troll of the Republican party and it's
policies is not so much to elect Mr..
Mckinley President as to build up an
executive authority that shall not be
readily responsive to the popular will:
the real aim is to eliminate the will of
the people as the dominant factor in our
government. 1t is to have government
begin. not exactly at the top. but near
the top. and come down to the citizen.
The Democratic party is not merely
striving to elect Mr.. Bryan; it is labor
ing to maintain the sovereignty of the
individual citizen, to pluck down the
barriers that are sought to be inter
posed between the citizen and his gov
eminent, that the government may be
readily responsive to his will. This is
the same old struggle that has been
going on, often on obscure lines, but al
ways going on, since the work of franz
ing Il constitution for these United
States began. This year it has reached
the more acute stage-indeed. the most
acute stage in our hstory-that is all
Under these circumstances it is difficult
to entertain any feeling more compli-
mcntary than contempt for the Ameri-

from the States Company?

If the Southern States Company is a
bona flde competitor of the Bell Com
pany. why does it not put a stop to the
Bells rate-cutting? Has it not yet
learned that the Bell Company is for
hidden by its franchise to charge less
for telephone service than any other
telephone company is charging in the
city of Norfolk? Why does it not call
the city to account for violating its
contract?

THE QUESTIONS THE BELL
COMPANY WOULD
NOT ANSWER.

Elsewhere, to-day. the Virginian-Pi-
lot gives the questions asked of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company by a
special Committee of Councils, and
which the Bell Company declined to
answer.
TO fully understand the significance
of this refusal. 1t should he kept in
mind that the Bell Company gave as
the reason why it should not be made
to conform its telephone rentals to the
legal maximum of SIS per year for bus
mess phones and SOS per year for resi-
dences-as fixed by the ordinance en-
bodying the Southern states Company's
franchlse-that it was losing money
The committee asked for such infor-
nation as would enable it to judge at
what rates the Bell Company could
handle it's business at n reasonable
profit" pledging itself at the same time
not to divulge such information, even
to the City Councils. The Bell Com
pany's reply was that it could not ex-
pose its private affairs.
The judcious reader will judge
whether or not these questions were
unreasonable. and whether or not they
called for any information not abso-
lutely essential to any intelligent de-
termination OF the very question the
Bell Company raised by making the
plea that it was losing money The
committee had no choice save to ask
these questions, or accept the unsub-
stantiated assertion of the Bell Com
pany.
The committee in pledging itself not
to reveal to Councils the information
asked for. of course, exceeded its
powers. 1t could not have more au-
thority than the body which commits
stoned it, nor was it seemly that it
should undertake ito report only its
conclusions to Councils, Withholding the
Information upon which such conclu-
sions We're based. To gather informa-
ton and report same to the Councils
was precisely the business of this com
mittec; it's conclusions, in any case,
would be altogether of secondary i'm
portancc. In the light of the informal
ton Councils might very we'll see fit
to reject the conclusions.
This, however. does not, in the least,
excuse the Bell Companys conduct in
the matter. 1t asked favor. not of
Councils, but OF the public the Coun-
ellis represent. 1t now refuses to di-
vulse the grounds upon which that ia
vor-(that 1t be allowed to charge $50
and $50 year for phones. instead of
the legal rate of SIS and $2S)-was ask
ed; yet it persists in the request 1t
was Incumbent upon the Bell Company
to show clearly and specifically where
in it was losing money. how much, and
that the loss was not its own fault,
before it could, with any shadow of
grace. ask that Councils allow it TO
charge SO per phone, year. more
than city ordinance has fixed as reas-
enable and just.
Presumption could go no further than
the Bell Company has gone in this mat
ter.
