FRIGHTENING Up FoR CAMPBELL.

The refusal Of the Anaconda Stand
ard to either affirm or deny the rumor
that it is trying to prevent the renoml-
nation of Campbell, gives color to the
suspicion that our contemporary Is in
about the same frame. of mind as was the
congress to know where he twas at"
Originally, Attorney General Nolan was
slated for the congressional shoes of the
lamented Campbell, n much of his ac-
tivity in behalf of the Anaconda democ-
racy is imputed to the elation which
! promises of that character inspired.
But Nolan stock went down with a sick

senatorial investigation, and-may the

MUNICIPAL POLITICS

1t is the duty of every citizen to take
doing his utmost to secure good local
government. His first and greatest duty
is to qualify himself to cast a ballot, by
placing his name on the registry list. The
citizen whoneglects this duty has nc bright
to make complaint as to the manner in
which municipal affairs are conducted.
He places himself outside the limits of
legitimate criticism when he has failed
to dc his best to improve his environ
ments.
There is practically no limit to the du-
ties which might be prescribed for the
voter, but after the first plain, manifest
duty of registering his name on the vot-
ing list, his Judgment and his conscience
must be his best and most reliable guides.
A thousand and one considerations may
enter into the case, when he is weighing
the relative merits of candidates for Of
flee. Party questions may Conscientious
ly affect his course, or personal reasons
may determine the character of his bal
lot. Conflicting ines of duty may arise
to vex his judgment and disturb his peace
of mind; yet with all the forces at work
in the determination of his conduct at the
polls, the one great question of advanc-
ing the general welfare of the community
through the election of competent, well
balanced men, hould never be lost sight
of by the man who conscientiously de-
sires to dedicate his ballot to the public
good.

EM Ms II. :
70 PREVENT PRIZE FlcHEs.

Congressman Heburn of Iowa has in
troduced a bill which will put a stop to
prize fighting IL enacted into law to-
gether with the train of evils that follow
in the wake of that brutalizing sport.
Under the provisions of the bill any
newspaper, periodical. poster or pamph-
let advertising prize fights. or containing
a report of such events, are excluded
from the mails. This restriction. which
is clearly within the purview of federal
authority. would destroy both the sensa-
tional and commercial features of pugli-
lism and practically sput An end to the
alleged amusement. Without the inter-
est created through newspaper notoriety,
encounters of this character would
shortly cease to attract sufficient atten-
ton to justify the principals in going in
to training or undergoing the ordeals OF
the ring.
Proposed legislation of this type in the
past has contemplated an implied CEN
sorship over the presss, which was in di-
rect violation Of its constitutional free
dom. But while congress has no power
to place restrictions upon the press In
the publication of the news, it has the
undisputed right to determine the char
acter of matter that passes through the
federal mails. The enactment of a law
excluding from the mails all matters per-
tanning to prize fights is seemingly just
as much within the purview of the con-
gress as is the law relating to obscene
letters. The principle involved is the
same. howevermuch the two propositions
may differ in their effects upon the
morals of the public. Doubtless the
publishers of obscene literature can see
no improperly in the transmission OF
their products through the mails, and
feel that their rights unde the constitu-
ton are abridged by the discretion of the
law-making power. Nevertheless, the
excluding such literature from the mails
cannot be questioned by the courts.
If that body sees fit to exercise the
same authority in the direction of prize
fights it un~questionably has the power to
do so. It may not deny to he news
paper the right to publish the report OF
a pugilistic set-to, but it can deny to the
newspaper the right to use the United
States mails for the dissemination OF
such intelligence. It remains to be seer
whether the Heburn idea"has sufficien1
following to be c~rystallized into law; bu'
certain it is that if our alton law
makers wish to eliminate this form O.
. amusement, in the interest of public
morals, the opportunity presents itself

N r ON EXPANSION.

Denver Post: Senator Mantle of Nom
tana. who was Senator Teller's assoc
ciate in the cesession from the republican
party of the silver republicans, declared
in an interview yesterday that the issue
of expansion has o-vershadowed the sill
yer issue in the west. This declaration,
coming from SO staunch a silver man
as Senator Mantle is known to be, has
caused considerable surprise among the
silver men here. Senator Mantle claimed
that the silver republicans have deserted
the leadership of Bryan n are fiocking
back to the republican party together
with the democrats, populists and all
who annot bring themselves to support
the doctrine Of anti-expansion.
Senator Mantle was stopping at the
Auditorium hotel when he delivered him.
self of these sentiments.
1.-THE west Is overwhelmingly for ex-
pansion.' he said.
''The benefits are so great that every
one in Colorado and the west feel them,
and the leaders of the anti-expansion
campaign nave found little sympathy
with their utterances. The silver repub-
licans will almost universally support the
expansion policy, n this means that
they are aligning themselves with the
/ republican party.
This change in the west, however.
does not occur because the people have
lost interest in the silver cause. I might
be exaggerating it il I said they take as
| much interest in silver now as they did
in bhe last campaign. The expansion
; issue is claiming their attention, and the
great preponderance of the sentiment OF
the west is for expansion. The west rs

This morning a man received fatal In
iuries from a runaway in the alley in the

withstanding the proximity OF policemen
it required half an hour to secure the at

RECORD or SHAME.
any

The New York Times has unearthed an
abominable condition of affairs in the
municipal government of hat city, dis
closing a situation that places Tammany
in a most disreputable light before the
world. 1t has secured indisputable evil
dence that the gambling houses pay the
sun of $3,O95, 900 per annum for the priv
ilege of violating the law, the money 60
ing into the hands of the gambling COM
mission, from which it is presumably fill
tered through regular channels to the
various city officials in the criminal COM
bine.
From present indications it looks as If
the skirts of those high in authority in
that organized political conspiracy known
as Tammany will be besmirched by the
revelations made. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that a genuine panic took
place in the city government when the
facts were published to the world.
