Concert Halls Will Doubtless
Not be Closed.
WOULD NOT BE LEGAL
Unofficial Opinion Of Authorities
House Of Detention Finished
New Cases.

The recommendation OF DR.. Alexander.
the health officer, that the concert halls,
variety theaters and other places where
large crowds are wont to congregate be
closed temporarily, is not likely to be
favorably acted upon by the city authori-
ties.
Mayor Mccarthy and City Attorney
Lamb were 10Th seen this morning, and
while they were 10th to express an official
opinion neither were of the opinion that
this step could be taken.
The %expediency of the move was not
only questioned but in addition thereto
there was a doubt AZ to the legality OF
he OF course h city council
might by ordinance or resolution declare
some Of these places to be ~nuisances, but
this would then become a matter of proof
and a trial would have to be had.
The house of detention has been com
pleted n Charles Lindley has been plac-
ed in charge. The house is as comfort
able as could be desired and in the future
all persons who are subjects for the pest
house will be detained there until the
arrival Of the smallpox wagon.
Health Officer Suagrove of Helena, was
to have had a conference with the board
of health Of THIS city to see hat steps
should be taken in the establishment of
a mild form of quarantine. While. no de-
cisive step a yet been taken, it will
probably take the form as outlined in
yesterdays paper. Parties going from
Butte to Helena WIN find it advisable to
secure a certificate Of vaccination. Major
Dawson OF the Great Northern was seen
and while the read he represents has as
yet taken no action they will be please
to cooperate with the authorities in any
precautionary measures tina may be
taken.
AT 2 o'clock today only two new cases
had been reported.
A man giving his name as Thos. Muir
ply and who said he lived on the hill re-
ported to DR.. Monroe and was found to
be suffering from the disease. Murphy
was sent to the house Of detention and
from there was taken to the pest house.
Another cas- of some one living on
Broadway east OF the city limits vas re-
ported to DIR. O'Leary, the county physi-
clan, but he name could not be ascer-
tained.
Other cases reported last night were:
Cha rles Titus from Sellers boarding
house near the Butte Reduction works
the Mantle block.
In all cases reported the usual precau-
lions were taken.

BIG JUMP
IN C0PPERs
Rise Of Twelve Points for BOS-
ton and Montana Today.
OTHERS SCORE ADVANCE
Butte & Boston, and Parrot in the
List-L0cal Holders En-
c0uraged.
OTHERS SCORE ADVANCE

The spirits Of Butte holders OF copper
SHARES, which rise and fall with the Bos-
Ton market, rose to a high point to-day.
The prophets who on Saturday predicted
an immediate advance in the market were
congratulated for their wisdom, but even
they did not expect such a big jump in
values. Such gains We're recorded as
twelve points for Boston & Montana. nine
for Butte & Boston, ten for Calumet and
Hecla, three and one-haf for Parrot and
six n one-half for Tamarack. It means
a tight squeeze for the shorts which
brings no woe to Butte, for the local spec
ulators do not profit on a falling market.
And when these shorts to
cover, some more climbing MAJ be look
ed for.
Amalgamated which closed Saturday
at SIN got up to 50 and Anaconda, for
which 80 was bid at the last call of 1893,
got into the trading at Al. Boston &
Montana made the first wild jump open
ing at 265, three points over Saturday and
climbing to 277, settling two points off at
the close. Butte & Boston followed suit
with a net gain Of nine points to "a. Bing-
nam stuck at liz. Calumet & Hecla
registered a rise of 10 points to $50, and
even Mohawk advanced a half. Old
Dominion fell off from 21h to 2OA and
Osceola took on 3A points to 72A. Parrot
assembled the scale from 80 to 42K: Santa
Fe held at 5h. Tamarack Joined the bal

The Doctrine of Force,

The last years of the eighteenth cen
fury witnessed the establishment of a
government dedicated to the doctrine
that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and during the nineteenth cen
fury thrones have crumbled and con-
situations have been adopted. 1t has
been an era of progress such as has
never been known before in the his
tory of the world. 1t has witnessed the
growth and triumph of an idea, and,
to use the words of another, "The
crowns of kings have been melted into
cannon balls by the soldiers of the
revolution" There was a doctrine of
force, and those who employed it used
the doctrine of divine right to silence
censure; but when the people declared
that when a government, instead of
being a thing thirteen inches in DIAM
eter running in the shape Of fire out
of cannon, was a thing created by
the people for themselves, they des-
troyed the doctrine of force and with
it the doctrine of divine right to rule;
and yet the closing years of the nine
teenth century witnesses the ap-
preaching of this same doctrine Of
force. backed by the alleged divine
right of the American people. If the
people Of this country go back to the
doctrine of kings, and then gloss it
over with the hypocrisy that it is the
will of God, the twentieth century
will see the pendulum swing back to-
wards brute force and the dark ages

Misrepresentation.

1t behoOves every man hunting for
eternal truths in dark places, to be-
ware of the pitfalls spread by the Fa-
Their of lies to undo him. Because Sen
ator Stewart uttered some wholesome
Democratic doctrine, the agents of the
+ of j. claim him as one of the lost
This is what the Nevada senator said
'The less we depart from the old
territorial system in governing our
new possessions and the fewer innov-
atoms we make in that system the
better we will be able to manage what
we have acquired.
THAT system has proven satisfac-
tory for years in handling all the new
territory which has come to us. 1t
ought to be good enough for the latest
acquisitions. My policy is to take all
the land we get and treat the people
who come with it as our children. We
cannot afford to treat some of them
as stepchildren. When we begin that
practice we will have discord in the
family circle.
Il believe in expansion, and that ii
was necessary for the good of the
country. A nation which does not grow
Is like n tree which has attained its
full growth and begins to decay"
There is nothing here to make Nc
Kinley republican out Of the sage SEN
ator from Nevada; if so, then Thomas
Jefferson was Mckinley man. 1t is
good sign, however when the Re
publicans themselves perceive the diff
ference between expansion and lin.
perialism." The fact that there may
be such thing as the federal govern
ment setting up an Independent SOW
ereignty through colonial system is
beginning to he understood and appre-
ciated. 1t is dangerous to the nation,
and the advocates of such a system
are dangerous men in office 1t is these
same men, moreover. who are misrep-
resenting every man well grounded in
his American citizenship, and of them

The Power Of Greed.

The mask is now off. Deception is
no longer possible if Democrats will
arouse themselves to action and eX-
pose the purposes of the enemies of
the republic to the light of public dis
cussion. 1t is openly proposed by the
Hannaites to overthrow the republic
and erect an empire upon its ruins.
The Declaration of Independence is
publicly scoffed at by them, and the
Constitution, the great charter of our
liberties, is being spurned with con
ington knows no law, no Constitution,
tempt. The administration at Wash
nothing but the will of the money
kings and the monopolies.
For the first time in our history or
ganiZed wealth is in absolute posses
sion of the machinery of the govern
ment. They hold one of tie gre t p l.
itical organizations firmly within ti.eiF
grasp. while the other is yet in the
hands of the people. Organized greed
has millions to purchase votes but if
the Democrats do their duty tie Han
Mates will receive but few votes IN
the next election that they do not pay
for with cash or secure through cor
rupting men with patronage and Of
flee. They are pOwerleSs with all their
millions and with all the offices at
their disposal to carry the election if
the loyal Democrats in every neigh
borhood accept the challenge that is
now thrown down to them, organize
their forces and commence at once the
work of the campaign.
The arguments are all on one side.
There is no argument that can be put
forth in defense of HannaiSm that is
sufficient to satisfy the intellect and
conscience of Il majority of the voters
in single township in the United
States if 1t he challenged by intelli-
gent public criticism. Therefore, sue
cess or defeat depends upon the Dem.
ocrats in every locality being them
selves Informed upon the issues and
able to defend by argument the con-
tentions of their party. Democrats
should he able to point out to their
neighborS the difference between the
new and dangerous doctrines of the
modern TTannates and the principles
of Lincoln and the early Republicans.

In the debate upon the Pettigrew
resolution in the United States Senate,
asking for information about the Phil
ippine war and the Paris treaty, Sena-
tor Vest refused to submit to the
domination of the imperialists:
Il hardly know said he, lin what
language to characterize the continued
imputations that there are friends of
Aguinaldo on the floor giving aid and
comfort to the public enemy. None of
us has ever made any statement on
this floor so strong as that made by
the Senator from New Jersey (AIr. Sc
Weld. whose loyalty no one will ques-
ton. That Senator declared in open
session that after the destruction of
the Spanish fleet in Manila bay he had
gone to the President and said, For
Gods sake, Mr.. President, withdraw
Dewey and let those islands alone
Was he an enemy to his country and
a friend to Aguinaldo? This whole
Philippine question is in a nebulous
and cloudy condition, which befogs
the public mind and befogs the coun-
ellis, even, of the leaders of public
opinion in the dominant party.
I'VE adopted, during the last ses-
sion, what is known as the McEnery
resolution. declaring that the Philip.
pines shall never become states of this
union, and that their people shall not
become citizens of the United States.
And now resolution is introduced by
the Senator from Indiana (Mr Beve-
ridge, declaring that we are to take
the Philippines and hold them forever.

olution? Is it abandonedY

ted, is evident from the resolution of

Monopoly Slave.

Corporations and monopolies are de-
structive of brains. They want slaves
not intelligent men. Mr.. Bryan in his
address before the Chicago antitrust
conference puts this in plain Ian
guage:
II want to warn you that when the
monopoly has absolute control, brains
will be at discount, and relatives
will be found to fill these positions.
When there is competition, every en-
ployer has to get good man to meet
competition, but when there is no COM
petition, anybody can sit in the office
and receive letters and answer them,
because everybody has to write to the
same house for anything he wants.
There is no question about 1t. A trust,
a monopoly. can lessen the cost of dis
tribution. But when it does so socie-
ty has no assurance that it will get
any of the benefits from that reduc-
ton of cost But you will take away
the necessity for skill and brains. You
will take away the stimulus that has
given to us the quick, the ever ebert
commercial traveller. These CONNER
cial evangelists, who go from one part
Of the country to the other, proclaim
ing the merits of their respective
goods. will not he needed, because
when anybody wants merchandise all
he has to do is to write to the one man
who has the article for sale, and say,
what will you let me have it for to-
dayT
