SOUTH POLE.

It now appears that ,Borchgrevink's
Polar expedition did not reach the south
magnetic pole i'm the antarctic winter OF
1899. contrary to the first published re-
ports. The party calculated the position
of the magnetic pole, but their attempt to
reach it by sled proved unsuccessful.
They found the ice quite different from
that of Greenland. In Victoria Land
enormous glaciers. varying in height
from 5000 to 1900 feet, barred au rance
by sled. Captain Borchsrt Xix there
fore, after several futile efforts to push
overland from Cape Adare, sailed on in
to Ross bay until latitude Is degrees 50
minutes was reached. Here he look the
sled again and managed to advance to
IS degrees IS minutes, the nearest ap-
proach to the south pole yet made.

Union address in New York are, perhaps.
the only utterances of his that will en-.
dure. Yet this greatest of story-tellers
since Aesop did not adorn or deface one
of these great deliverances with story or
any form of humor.
THE reason for this is found In the
whole tendency Of human thought and
feeling-in the whole melancholy history
of the race-where tears and grief, the
hard seriousness Of life and the terrible
and speedy certainty of our common
fate of suffering and of death make SOM
Der the master-chord of existence. The
immortal things are all serious-even

n Talk To Wage Farmers.

The Inter Mountain urges the election
of the republican state and county
tickets. because it believes the platforms
and candidates of that party are the
best. ~
But not SO much on account of the
platforms and candidates of the repub-
lican party as on account of the people
of the state, does this newspaper advise
the election of. it's party candidates.
The personal triumph of a score OF
nominees for office is nothing compared
to the benefits which the public will RED
ceive as the result of their election. |
1t is the material welfare and aG-
that should be the main object of this
campaign, not the election of a few men
who nave been chosen by the political
conventions to represent opposing politi-
cal parties and policies.
The issue is not a personal one. It ia
not a question of any newspapers devo>1
ton to any set of candidates, but to the
people of whome those candidates, if
elected. will be the servants, and whose
good faith is assured.
Efforts are being made to drag In H.
H. Rogers, John Rockefeller, Marcus
Daily, w. A. Clark. T.. H. Carter, F. A.
Heinze and others as chief subjects for
discussion by friends or foes who see
nothing else in the campaign and who
wholly ignore the interests of the 2OO,-
900 common people in the state.
Nothing could be more absurd or un-
fair than that
The issue is whether some of those
gentlemen are going to run others out
of the state; whether political parties are
going to settle law suits instead of the
courts; whether courts and legislatures
are going to be used to close down the
industrial enterprises of some of those
gentlemen for the benefit of the others:
but chiefly the issue is whether these
things are to be done with ~contemptuous
disregard of the result upon the work
and wages and welfare of the people!
That is the point for the w~orkingmen
and the farmers and business men to
discuss. The personal business rivalries
of half a dozen rich men or rich mining

The Inter Mountain surrenders much
space today to the publication of the
petition of George A. Clark, filed in the
supreme court, for an order forbiddins
County Clerk Moran to put the eight
hour republican ticket on the regular
ballot
The contention of Mr.. Clark is that
there is no such party as the ''eight-
hour republican party; tina the action
of the republican state convention set
tied that point. and that, inasmuch as
all republicans are in favor of an eight
hour day and all parties nave declared

companies are of no public interest ex.
cept as to the effect Of their disputes
Upon; the labor market, the real estate
market, and the general business of the
community. If that effect promises to
be disastrous to the public, then it Is
h solemn duty Of the people in their
W interest to say to those gentlemen:
Settle your litigation in the courts:
keep out of politics and don't expect US
to note with any of you to close down
h mines of the others. 1t is to our
advantage that you all keep at work.
4oAf personal triumph confers no pub
NC sbeneft if it means that rival con-
Germs employing thousands of men are
to be oppressed and prosecuted and de-
spoiled. This is not a matter of per-
sonal regard, but of the public veal. be-
cause it affects the pay-rolls of the dis
trict, the basis OF Individual and general
prosperity"
THAT is the way sensible men, with
an teye to the future. are thinking and
3 talking. Election money doesn't last
qong. Election whisky is shut off when
the votes are counted. The passions of
men aroused by partisan zeal and embit-
tered by hired demagogues cool off Oh
the first approach of winter. When the
first chilling blast strikes the man who
has voted himself III of work at the
behest of imported speN-binders, and he
seeks the men in whose interest he so
voted, he gets the frozen face ana
learns that the imported spell-binders.
with their pockets full of gold, have re-
turned east and south until they shall

that he is being robbed by the trusts
and must close dow mines in. which
trust shareholders have an interest, even
If they do pay out SIS, 600, 900 a yea for
wage as the Amalgamated does in this
district.
Is it any wonder that sensible men are
beginning to think about these things
and that a great change is taking place,
ind that the State Trades and Labor as
sembly last week declined to take action
which might have looked Ike an indorse-
meht of the democratic attack on prop
erty and labor in this state, simply to
advance the personal interests of two or
three men?

Amalgamated, but it cares much for it's
employees! who will naturally share the
fortunes Of their employers if the demo-
cratic campaign of Doodle and bluster
shall result in legislation and in court
decisions to close them all out of bust

The statement continues:


1T may be stated that during the years
in which the course of wage declined the
rates of 1891 and 1892 in many instances
remained unchanged, and in like manner
during the last few years, in which the
general course of wages has been upward
the wage in these instances nave not, Of
course, responded to the general rise. In
other instances the per cent, of decrease
was notably large during the years of
depression, while during the last two
years of the period the reverse is true,
and a much larger increase really took
place than that indicated by the table.
= = The figures for 1899 and 1900 show
a gratifying average increase over the
conditions of 1891 and 1892, when wages
in gold We're higher than at any period in
the history of the country prior to the
present year." \

I am a democrat and nay vote for
Bryan. I don't like some things hat
the ''hill' wing has done in Butte,
though l don't blame the present owners
of the 'Hhill' mines for what happened
before they came. But, above all, I
cannot indorse my party locally in their
fight to compel the Amalgamated people
to shut up shop. What good will hat
do any man except those who ave law
suits against he company? That is
none of the peoples business, and I for
one realize what it would mean to Butte
and to Butte laboring men. They have
not been hurt any that l know of. I
am a democrat, but | own a house and
five lots in this City that cost me 1000.
With all the Amalgamated mines closed
because they call it a trust, what would
my lets be worth? What could l get for
them if there We're 5000 idle men in
Butte all trying to get away because the
democratic party had succeeded in driv-
ing trusts cut of business?

present situation. He accompanied the
bill with a strong letter pointing out
the necessity for its prompt passage.
He expressed the hope that the measure

The bill Is in two sections. The first
provides that the statutes Of the United

extradition shall apply to the extradl'

against future troubles in the posses.

between the various states shall be ex'
tended to the Philippines, Guam, Ha'
waii and Porto Rico.
