7ODAy'S CONVENTION.

The democratic city convention is in
session while these lines are being pen
determined. Whether it will declare for
political purity, in line with the action of
that party one year ago, nightfall must
alone determine. Last year the demo-
cratic city convention adopted the fol-
lowing platform with a large amount of
eclat:
Whereas. it appears from the testimony
taken before the joint investigating COM
mittee of the sixth legislative assembly

NO TROUBLES. 7HAxx you.

Among it's special pleas to be let alone.
when it is confessedly trying its best to
be good, the Butte. Miner this morning
says:
Having troubles of it's own 1t might
occur to the Butte Inter Mountain to
let the local democracy settle it's own
affairs.
Unfortunately for our esteemed con-
temporary, the Inter Mountain is at pres
ent wholly destitute of any troubles of it's
own. The republican party is thorough
ly reunited all along the line, and there
is not the slightest suggestion of friction
from any source. 1t has placed In the
field for municipal honors men of the
highest repute and of unquestioned abil-
ity-men who will grace the aldefananic
board n bring prestige and character
to it's councils. In addition to these ele-
ments of success, which are alone suffi-
cient to ensure victory at the polls-with
a fair election n an honest count
there is a firm and fixed determination in
the public mind to rebuke the democratic
party for the injury it has inflicted upon
our city and state. dr
AS the business theater of the political
activities of the democratic feud,s Butte
has been dragged conspicuously before
the American people as a seething hot
bed of corruption. Congressman Camp
bell. the leader of the Anaconda faction.
and Senator Clark, the leader of the OPP
position wing of the party. are both resi-
dents of Butte. 1t was in this city that
the lieutenants of the respective combat
ants planned their campaigns against
each other-in this city that the events
took place which have been 50 widely ex
plotted throughout the nation as an indel-
ible stain upon the reputation Of the
state. In no way a the citizens OF
Butte redeem the reputation of this
municipality, and indicate to the state
and the nation that they do not approve
the carnival Of political crime which has
been advertised to the world, except by
rising in their might and RELOCATING tc
defeat the political party which is re-
sponsible for it.
The Miner claims for the democracy
the right to settle it's own affairs-just
as if the reputation of this city and the
standing of it's citizens before the world
is a democratic affair! After the city O
Butte has been made a kissing and a by
word all over the land, and it's people
cartooned and caricatured, and fusiladet
in the press with the b%illingsgate applied
to professional bilks and boodlers. tn
democratic party-the cause of 1t all
steps in and demands that an outraged
community shall keep hands off and per
nit it to settle its own affairs! There's
> but one honest course Of procedure Il
the democratic party to pursue and thu
is to take an inventory of it's assets IN
ask for q receiver.

GETTING OUT FROM UNDER.

The stampede from the democratic
party still continues, and Sibley, who mar
rowly escaped the nomination for the
presidency in 1896, is by no means the
only conspicuous character in the revolt.
General Don M. Dickinson, formerly
postmaster general of the United States
publicly expresses his disgust of the plat
form adopted by the democratic state
convention at Lincoln, and which is ad-
vertised as an Interpretation of Mr.. Bry-
ans position on the issues of the day.
The Hon. Frank Jones, the undisputed
leader of the democracy of New Hamp-
chairman of every delegation from thai
state to a national convention-has left
that party and publicly announced his
support of President Mckinley.
Ever Senator Jones, chairman of thu
democratic national committee, is stag.
gered by the plank in the Lincoln plat.
form in favor of the initiative and refer.
endum, and says he does not believe 'ir
submitting all kinds of legislation and al
public questions to the popular VOTE"
But Jones-he pays the freight-ant
will have to swallow his disgust and tax,
a front seat OF the bourbon toboggan.
The stampede of the old-timers, how
ever, makes the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
a certainty, AND his defeat equally sure.

This morning the Anaconda Standard
accuses the Inter Mountain of trying to

The Standard Oil company, though
coming in for a large share of public
abuse in such democratic organs as the
New York Journal, Anaconda Standard
and other ~newspaper champions of the
masses. is not an unmixed evil. Last
week it paid dividends a~ggregating $22,-
oo,0oo, the largest ever known in the
history of this country. A great pro-
portion of that vast sum goes into the
pockets of the people. The trust COM
panles, estates. investment brokers and
others draw down a good deal Of Stand
ard OIL profits, which are thus distrib-
nted to many worthy institutions and
individuals altogether apart from the
very rich men who control the concern.
A good deal Of Standard Oil profit comes
from foreign consumers of Standard Oil
products. Criticism should therefore be
discriminating.
Judge Goodwin, editor Of the Sal Lake
Tribune, has been and is silver's greatest
advocate. No man can deny his honesty,
his Intelligence or his patriotism. He
has loo ked the situation over. He sees
no rope for free coinage from the demo-
cratic party so long as it shall be iden-
titled nth a lot OF narrow-minded crank
cry originated by men whose thirst for
office blinds them to the real needs of the
American people. Judge Goodwin has

Disguised with democratic imbecility and

One OF the weak features about the
Clark investigation at Washington was
the failure of the memorialists to put on
the stand a number of men whose names
were freely used in connection with
charges Of bribery. What was Governor
Smith doing in Washington for 60 days,
only to disappear just before the close
of the hearing? Could he not have bet
ter earned his salary at home? Did he
add to the respectability of the prosecu-
ton by h~obnobbing with the reform
committee and then leaving by the light
of the moon? r..

NOTES OF A wAYFARHR.

The business men Of Butte are paying
out too much money in taxes. Municipal
taxation should be lighter in Butte than
in any other city in h United States.
ON account of the ~cOmpactness Of the
city and the vast amount Of property
within small limits. The trouble is hat
the criminal classes cost too much money
to control. Criminals who should be
driven from the city are arrested over
and over again for repeated ~offenses.
The Business Mems association should
look up his matter and apply the
stemedy.

It is a matter of history which Senator
Teller will not deny that at the republic
can national convention in 1896 he was
personally opposed to boiling, and told
his friends so repeatedly. He was per-
sonally in favor of protesting against a
gold plank. refusing to vote for it's adop-
ton and retaining his seat till adjourn
ment. That was his natural inclination
and desire. He was persuaded to pursue
q different policy by a few men who be-
lieved the. democratic convention would
nominate him for the presidency. That
is history. The great Coloradoan will
will not deny 1t.
The democratic organs which a few
weeks ago filled their columns witt,
charges about a secret treaty between
the government of the United States and
that of Great Britain, do not possess the
decency to print Secretary Hays official
denial OF the story or the presidents
declaration that no u treaty was al
any time contemplated. or would havs
been allowed by him This government
is strongest when it stands by itself, ant
no citizen Of the republic Is more fully
convinced Of that fact than Presiden
William Mckinley.

The next legislature of Montana should
make inquiry into the charge that some
of the wealthy corporations of the state
are not paying their proportion of the
general taxes. The man who a saved
from his scanty wages enough to pur-
chase a house and lot for his family is
compelled to pay his full quota of taxes
to support the state government. but
some of the mem who are living on in
terest coupons and dividends pay little
or nothing. Nobody knows this better
than the millionaire organs themselves.

SHE MAY KEEP HER MONEY.


BOSTON, March 1.-The full bench of
the Supreme Court has sent down decis-
ion sustaining a demurrer filed by Mrs.
Mary n. Walker. in the suit brought by
her divorced husband, Miron p. Walker,
of Belchertown, to enforce al
legged agreement entered into by
Mrs. Walker just prior to the marriage of
the couple in 1877. At the time of the mar
riage they were living in California, and
Mrs. Walker, then a widow, was possessed
of property valued at 100000. Mr.. Walker
contended that his wife before the mar
riage had agreed to secure him the prop
erty in common, and offered many letters
in support of his claim The court, after
reviewing the letters, says they show an
intention on the part of Mrs. Walker that
her husband should enjoy with her the in
come which she had, but they do not show
intention to give him property in case
or separation or divorce. Mr.. Walker was
at one time department commander of the
Massachusetts G. a. r., d State senator
and a candidate for lieutenant governor.

WINTER PACKING SEASON.
Fewer Hogs Killed in the West This
Year Than Last.

CINCINNATI, March 2.-The Price Cur
rent says: "The closing week Of the winter
packing season has Witnessed a fairly lib
erai marketing OF hogs for the time OF the
year, the returns indicating total OF $4,000
for Western slaughtering. compared with
475,0OO the preceding week and 10000 two
weeks ago. For the corresponding time last
year the number was 415.0o0 and two years
ago $4,000 From Nov the total. accord
ing to preliminary returns and estimates,
is $4,000 against $4,000 last year. This
implies a decrease OF 1.045.000. which COM
parison Is not likely TO be essentially
changed by complete returns for the sea-
SON The quality has been holding UP well.
With the single exception of last years
high record the season now closed shows
a larger number of hogs killed I'm the West
than in any previous winter. The average
cost of hogs appears to have been. approx
mately, so cents a hundred pounds higher
than last year, or about y per cent, and
the highest for a period OF FIVE years. The
average weight is likely TO show some In
crease, the quality OF the winters Offer
ings having been more uniformly good
than ordinarily indicated. The season has
favored feeding operations, and has been
more than usually free from sickness
among swine.
For twelve months ending March the
total Western packing represents 100. go
hogs, against 23.650.0oo for the preceding
year, a decrease OF l.450.0oo hogs"
