FROM A RAPID TOWN.

zone of the funniest experiences in my
hotel life" said an old clerk, was that
in which a mar registered his name with
out writing his town after 1t, as is the
custom. When I called his attention to
it. he said: Il hadn't forgot it, but I feel
a little timid about it. The last time I
was away from home I registered the
name of my town and the clerk asked me
what state it was in. I got mad in a
minute and wouldn't stay In the house.
I went to another house. I went to an
other house and registered from Brook
lyn, and the next day / appeared In the
paper credited to New YORK. I showed
it to the clerk and he liz he changed my
place of residence on the book because
nobody ever registered from Brooklyn"
II told the man he need have no fear
Of having the incident repeated in our
place provided he wanted to write me
NAME. He said he would think about it
and asked to be shown to his noom. SO
I saw no more of him until late in the
night. He then asked me If I had an
atlas. He studied it minutely for a few
minutes, measured distances with his two
hands. like a farmer, and then he called
me and pointed out the name Of a town.
I asked him il that was his.
1T is the name all right he replied,
hut I don't know whether the town Is
still there. It is the boomin'est town

for sanction to set up a bit of oak with
the following legend: This gateway.

governing the rights Of the citizen in such

laltCAS
Both wings Of the democratic party
nave practiced these o~ffenses to a greater
or lesser degree. as circumstances afford
ed the opportunity. and the republicans
have been powerless to bring to Justice
any of the persons guilty Of such political
bushwhacking. Such practices have, be-
come so common in this state, on the part
of the democracy. that they are looked
upon by many as legitimate resources Of
a political fight. and victory achieved un-
der them is hailed as the triumph Of
merit! b
The successful legislative ticket in Sill
yer Bow county in 1898 owed it's incep-
ton to the illegal practices we have OUT
lined. Every mar in Butte, with an
ounce of grey matter between his ears,
knows this to be a fact. Under the
statutes of this state. the caucus lies at
the very foundation Of the franchise priv
ilege. Upon it is builded the rights Of the
ballot n the freedom of the people; yet
the Anaconda wing of the democracy cast
more votes in some OF the precincts that
year than there were citizens, and the
Standard rejoiced over this miserable
rap Of the rights of man. and brazenly
heralded the criminal farce as a victory
for the pure and indebted democracy!
Little wonde that sheet wants the sena-
torial inquiry to begin and end with an
ton. Little wonder it bellyaches like u
truant school boy in the green apple sea-
son. when the Inter Mountain suggests
that the senate committee probe both fac
tions of the democracy to the limit.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-01-10

Yes, the Inter Mountain vigorously con-
the corruption that cropped out
in the democratic senatorial fight six
years ago. We knew then, as we know
to-day, that legal action would have been
taken against Clark by the Anaconda
wing at the time, had 1t not been up to
its neck in the same pot of putrid politi-
cal pus. 1t recognized that there were
two doors to the penitentiary and dis
creetly kept out Of the courts.

IN FAVOR or EXPANSION.

IN FAHOR or EXPANSION.
After having made a vigorous fight
against national expansion.it is crafty
ing to note that both the Butte Miner
and the Anaconda Standard. have come
out in favor of municipal expansion.
There never has been any doubt as to
where the Inter Mountain stood on the
expansion question, whether it had to do
with the enlargement Of our national
boundaries or our city boundaries.
But as many Of the arguments that
can be applied to the creation of a
greater Butte, are those which support
the national theory Of growth, it was
deemed best for this newspaper to re-
main in h background until it's demo-
cratic contemporaries could be heard
from.
Having committed themselves to the
u~tilitarian idea Of municipal expansion.
1t is to be hoped the subject will grow
on them, until they can see things in a
better light from a national standpoint.
But while the advantages of incor-
porating our suburbs into Butte are
clearly and ably set forth by our con-
temporaries. and are known of all men.
the main objection to such a step should
be just as heroically met and analysed.
Why do our suburban residents object
to the protecting wing of Butte's munich
pality?
Why do they not unanimously fall in
line with the idea, as have the suburban.
ties of Chicago and New York?
The answer is not hard to find.
1t lies in the political conditions that
prevail in Butte.
If the good people of Walkerville and
Centerville and Meaderville could be
made to understand that Incorporating
with Butte would not imply the shoulder
of a perpetual democratic row, they
would gladly embrace the opportunity
to advance their own interests by COM
ing into the fold.
Conditions are such in a political way,
however. that the fear is ever present
that illegal methods of conducting con-
.ventions and campaigns, may lead up to
municipal jobbery n the imposition
of burdens which the suburbanites do not
care to share.
They argue that dishonesty in political
methods does not afford the proper guar
antees that official duties will BE prop
erly performed. ~
Had the citizens of Butte resolutely set
their faces against political corruption
in this city, and thereby indicated their
purpose to protect the taxpayers from
the legitimate fruits Of political jobbery,
u suburban friends would have gladly
accepted an invitation to unite their
destinies with ours. II
1t is true. Butte's suburbs could do
much to correct the political evils which
they fear. and hold the balance Of power
in a fight for better conditions-and we
sincerely trust they will take this view
of the situation. f
The growth of business. inuring to the
benefit Of all. has o~bliterated geograph-
ical lines: and 70 closely connected are
the outlying places with the original
townsite that all should be under one
government.
Without this. Butte. as well as it's
the census returns, with all that may
imply to the growth Of business and the
stiffening of real values in all portions
of this community.

went down instead OF up, as was the
case yesterday The retirement of the
British from Spion Kop had as little in
huence as did the previous days news
of the success there. Opening prices
showed sharp declines. international
stocks being quoted at about the London
parity The weakness in London induced
no selling here, however. and the local
traders were disposed 10 buy the stocks
offered for London account in the same
way that they sold yesterday 10 meet the
London demand. No attempt was appar-
ent TO bid up prices, as the local dealers
seemed content 10 take the offerings AT
the London level of prices. The sales for

thing over 2o,00o, very evenly distributed

that stock exchange operations have

in the loan account. Closing prices Of
