The fusion democrats of Silver Bow
county opened their campaign in Butte
Saturday night at Sutton's theater.

the people of the city turning out to Sc
cure a view of Joseph K. TOole, the flu
sion candidate for governor, who was
billed to speak from the same platform
with James Donovan, h Great Falls
populist. who is a candidate for attor-
ney general on the "~fusable'' ticket.
Hon. w. A. Clark occupied a conspicuous
place on the platform. Among the other
prominent persons on the stage were
Charles w. Clark, Captain Frank Hig-
gins, Attorney w. NJ. Bickford, ]. Ross
Clark, Peter Breen. F. Augustus Heinze,
John Mechanics, Col. l.. c. Parker,

to the Coxey movement a few years ago,
when as a result of a democratic admin
istration several thousand Montana men
started east in search of full inner pals
and landed in Jail. Mr.. Donovan also re-
mashed the old thread-bare lie about the
republicans being responsible for the
demonitization of silver, but again fail
ing to refer to Cleveland's attitude on
the silver question. The strike in the
anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania
was also ascribed to the republican adj
ministration.
The speaker attempted to show that
the Standard Oil company was seeking
to control the politics of Montana, and
reiterated all the stale platitudes that
have been threshed over by the fusion
press.

Columbia Gardens. Butte's only green

The second session of the joint meeting
of the New Jersey Library Association,
the Pennsylvania Library Club, and the
Washington Library Association, was held
this forenoon at the Carroll Institute.
The members arrived late and the at
tendance was not as large as at the OPEN
ing session last night. The meeting was
set for 10 O'Clock but it was half past
when Ernest c. Richardson, Ph. D., the
President of the New Jersey Library AS
socaition. called the members to order.
The secretary, Miss winsor. read the
minutes of last nights session. which
were adopted as read. President Richard
son then read his address. which dealt
with the question of THE Relative Book
Production in the United States and
Foreign Countries" In the course OF his
address Or. Richardson dwelt at length
on the claim put forth by a number Of
publications to the effect that foreign
countries produce more books than the
United States. This claim if investi
gated thoroughly" said Or. Richardson,
will be found to be withot founda ton. 9"
He then proceeded TO prove by figures
that the United States is second, numer-
ically speaking in publishing bound books,
excluding periodicals. pamphlets. etc.
According to the American standard,
adopted by American libraries. which
excludes pamphlets magazines, period
cals leaflets. and booklets, Great Britain
publishes annually on an average 5000
bound books the United States $50,
Germany $500. France 1900 The number
of magazines and periodicals published an
nuaily on an average in the United States
is A. 000, Germany 1000. France 10, 900.
Italy 5000 The United States publishes
also 90, coo pamphlets annually.
He said that all libraries are expansion
lists, not necessarily in a territorial ap-
plicatien. but in an intellectual sense.
We must expand our knowledge, our
wisdom, our national character he said.
we must expand our libraries and give
everybody an opportunity for self-educa-
ton" DR.. Richardson said in conclusion:
"On whatsoever basis reckoned, the United
States produces more books than any
other nation on earth except perhaps,
Great Britain, and if the PERIODICAL VOL
ume is counted, more than Great Britain.
With regard to quality, | add that the
average American product is not so far
behind the average continental product as
it is often represented to be.
IF Germany still eXcels us in that high
est class of original research which in
the last analysis is absolutely necessary to
progress in civilization. | must say that
we excel in the mass Of good literature
which tends to produce a large number

We can get libraries like the ideal Con-

A Washington dispatch says: The wish
Of Senator pettigrew in the senate TO
have the statement made by Aguinaldo
printed as public document brought ON
lively discussion. which was partici-
patcd in by Senators Pettigrew, Hawley,
Lodge, Spoontr, Gallinger, Jones Of Ar

Senator Pettigrew said that II the state
ment was not allowed to be printed he
would reed 1t and thereby get it in the
Record. Senator Hawley, however, said
that he would object to the reading as
reasonable.
Senator Spooner thought it was about
time TO draw the line on the constant suit
Of Agninaldo against the United States,
aud Senator Gallinger said II was time
that the kind of argument used by the
South Dakota senator should cease in the
senate.
Senator Jones charged that the repub-

"A narrow footpath. admitting men in

perfectly fiat table land, probably of 800
square yards area, upon which the Beers
had hastily commenced to make trans
verse trench Our men were able to oc
cupy the further end of this table land,
where the ridge descends to another fat,
which WAS again succeeded by round
eminence held by the Beers in great
strength.
"The ridge held by our men was faced
by number of strong little kopjes at
at all angles, whence the Beers sent a
concentrated fire from the rifles, snp-
big long range gun. What with the
rifles, the machine gun, and the big gun,
the summit was converted into project
hell. The shells exploded continuously
/ in our ranks, ard the ri fle FIRE, from an
absolutely unseen enemy, was perfectly
appalling
"Reinforcements were hurried up by
General Warren, bnt they had TO cross a
stretch of fiat ground which was literally
torn up by the flying Leaf of the enemy.
The unfinished trench on the summit
gave very questionable shelter, as the
enemy machine guns were SO accurately
trained upon the place that often 10
shells fell i'll the trench in single
