Butte, Sept. 20.-An editorial in a re-

that higher call. i'll health. He been
informed by his doctor that to make the
campaign meant his death, but he left

THE BALANCE OF TRADE,

Henry Clews & Co.'S bank circular for
this week has the following:
One of the best evidences of our ma
tional prosperity is found in a study of
our exports and imports. For the month
of August our imports were $5,O17 sos less
than the corresponding period last year,
while our exports We're only 1883, 541
less. For the eight months ending
August 81 the balance of trade in our
favor was 1851 ,037, 2l9 against s277, 400, 1870
last year.
There is a political sermon in those fig
ures. Not all the speeches Mr.. Bryan
and all his free trade supporters could
make in a rear would suffice to Offset the
cold logic of the statement above quoted
rs a political argument.

ADVERTISING MONTANA.

The Chicago papers containing an ac-
count of Roosevelt's reception in Butte,
give graphic accounts of the visit of the
next vice-president to one of the Boston
& Montana copper mines. What is more
important. the newspaper writer's with
the Roosevelt train include in their dis
patches the information as to Montana's
growth and wealth. submitted to him by
the state republican committee. Some
of the figures which so surprised the
governor are given as follows:
Population Of $50, 900
Cattle business, 1899 ............S SIC, 500, 900
Sheep business, 1899 ........... LOLA, 524
Wool business, 1889 ............ S,9o3, COL
Increased mineral output 1899
over 1898 II, 900, 900
Total mineral output, $780,. 6S, 547, 307
Such statistics as above are now being
printed all over the east as a result of
Roosevelt's visit, and Montana will not
fail to get great benefit from them.

The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the parents and other rela-
tives Of Mel. Wines. His shocking act
of self-destruction. which must have
come from an uncomfortable momentary
impulse, was not the result of any lack
of parental training or affection or any
circumstance which could be averted BY
the most tender solicitude Of his family
and an environment of a comfortable
and attractive home.
During a residence in Butte of zen
years the modest worth of Judge Wines
as a citizen, as a lawyer and as a father
has earned for him the widest and mos,
profound respect and to him and IFS
family the greatest sympathy is extend
ed on the occasion of his unexpected and
Terrible affliction. rsv
Speculation is idle in such a case. A
bright young man has destroyed a life
once full of promise and which was sur-
rounded by the best influences as far as
his relatives and friends could regulate
them. Because of such surroundings the
event takes on an increased sadness.

There is a trouble with Manderson's
ngures which might better be pointed
out. Inc more so for that the Hanna
committee with its customary nxious
admiration for a lie, is busy with the cir
eulatlon OF Manderson's speech as a cam
palSn document. The defect which turks
IN Manderson's figures is this. While he
taxes his foreign statistics from last
years budgets, he goes back to 1896 for
his American estimates. In correction

Of statistics, is himself untruthful in
lconcealing the truth by emitting to

question. that this Comparison of war
budgets purports merely to cover wears
when the respective nations were at
peace. There is no fairness in substitute

Goes, the figures $267 500, 543. 22, war bud

can be no comparison of an American
war budget in time Of war with the war
budgets of other nations on a peace foot
ing. The only just comparison is between
war budgets of different nations under
similar conditions, whether of peace or
of war. Thu Verdict is guilty Of false
hood not only in attempting such COM
parison as this, but also in not telling the
whole truth b this campaign docu-
ment. The document gives figures COM
pairing our army with that of other ma
lions in time of war, as we'll as in time of

United States, army 81, 200 (war footing);

WaIbryd9e For Governor.

We notice that some of our repub-
| iican exchanges are talking up var
| ious men as candidates for the repub-
| lican nomination for Governor. These
men may be allright.and some OF them
may not. But be this as it may, the
| DEMOCRAT has man in mind as its
candidate about whose standing in
the party there is not even shadow
of suspicion, he is known to be Is
carat gold. This man is c. 2. Wal
bridge of St. Louis. He is staunch
republican. is a fine business man, is
admired generally for mis- honor and
integrity. and is the man above all
others in this state who deserves the
nomination His record as Mayor of
ST. Louis shows what sort of an ex-
ecutive officer he is, and proves what
he could do for Missouri were he to
be placed in the Governors chair.
He is pre-eminently the man the re-
publicans would like to see nomina-
ted Such man as Walbridge
would soon knock out this ring rule
which has proven such curse to the
state, ne could give the people
square, honest administration. He
would not be governor alone of few
political buns and ward heelers
but would be governor of the whole
people of this great state. Missouri
needs Walbridge at the helm of the
state for a few years. and if placed
there be would inaugurate some won
derful changes. Mr.. Walbridge made
the best and cleanest mayor st. Louis
ever had. and he would do all right as
governor. Missouri is great state
and 1t needs a great governor, a man
who would not use the Office merely as
one of the rounds in the ladder of his
political ambition, hut would give us
an honest, patriotic, business-like ad-
ministration, and c. p. Walbridge is
the man 10 do it.

SIZED HIM UP WRONG.
Cairo Paper Has an Entirely Enron.
eous Idea Concerning Norman
A. MOZley.

The Cairo Argus has heard that the
republicans of this congressional dis
trict have nominated N. A. Motley as
their candidate for Congress, and
gets off the following:
Congressman Vandiver of the
Southeast Missouri district, is con-
ceded nomination for reelection by
nearly unanimous vote of his party
convention. He is worthy of this sup
port, for he has proven an able Rep
resentative, having secured rank with
the foremost members of Congress.
The republicans have nominated as
his opponent Hon. N. A. Motley.
He was formerly Il school teacher in
Johnson county. this State. He went
to Missouri to teach school, and when
the republican nomination for Con-
gress over there was seeking some
body to accept it, he took it for the
honor OF being nominee and awoke
the morning after election day to find
himself elected. He was the most sur
prised man in the district. He was
never heard OF or from during his
term in Congress, but being the only
republican ever elected in the district,
his party will test his luck again.
The Argus would have it appear
that the only thing which can be urged
in favor of Mr. Mozley's candidacy
is that he is the ouly republican ever
elected to Congress from this district.
This is a great deal, but lis not all.
Mr.. Mozley is lawyer of ability, he
is recognized as man of weight In
the district, and he has an excellant
chance to be elected.
1t is not absolutely certain that Mr..
Vandivsr will be the opponent OF Mr..
Motley in this race, but if he is he
will have hard fight on his hands.
The Argus is evidently not aware thai
many Of Vandiver's former friends
have turned against him and that they
will not tear any of their clothing IN
order 70 elect him even If he should
receive tine nomination. AS to Mr..
| Motley never having been heard of
while in Congress. the people of his
district regard his record there as
quite crediiab bic. and they are prob
ably as we'll informed on tais point as
tn. Cairo Argus.

The isoers and the British.

Months have elapsed since the open
those 300. 200 troops which Great Brit
on has assed in this period from her
| different colonies have not as yet sue
ceeded in making the Beers bow in
recognition to the British lion. The
pu olic opinion in America as to the
right and wrong varies so that it has
at last become very muddled flair,
| in fact, it has reached such a stage
! that it bids fair to become ii political
issue in the coming campaign. If we
were to listen to some of our Demo-
cratic friends we would at once plunge
ourselves into that South African af-
fair regardless of the results that
might follow. Not only the Demo
Gratis, but many patriotic Republicans,
bear malice toward President McKin-
ley for not making IA forcible inter-
vention in behalf of the Beers. If
these will ponder for moment and
III euSAi o"h eiie
responsibility of such a course, they
will cease this clamor. Has not Pres
ident Mckinley proven with satisfac-
tion to the American people that he is
a man capable of standing at the
helm and directing the course OF this
country to its own welfare, financially
and otherwise? Did he not show his
discretion and sound judgment in our
trouble with Spain? Has he not prov
en- himself one of the greatest rulers
since the time of Washington or Lin
con? Verify, we say that he has,
and ultimately it will be proven to the
American people.
No matter what our private opinions
may be we must use discretion in all
such matters. Whether the Beers are
in the right or wrong. it must be ad-
mitted that their bravery in bidding
defiance to the most powerful of ma
tions, has won the sympathy and ad-
miration of the entire world. For
months have they bravely kept the
field, throwing every barrier possible
in front of the British advance. They
say it is for home and country, and
above all, that priceless treasure, lib
erty, which cause them to take up
arms against Great Britian. What
ever be the cause they have at least
won the admiration of almost every
nation, and their struggle for home,
country and Independence, viii go
down in history second only to the
Siege of the Alamo, when those brave
Texans, Crockett, Bowie, Travis and
others, laid down their lives for
similar cause.

A WORD ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS.
An Insufficient Number OF Teachers
a Drawback 10 Their Usefulness.

The DEMOCRAT has always been u
friend to education, and it desires to
see the public schools in this city per-
fected and made as efficient as pos
sible. There Is one thing which the
DEMOCRAT considers lmpairs the
efficiency of these schools at the pres
ent time. and that is that the teaching
force has not kept pace with the in
crease in the number of pupils. The
increase in the attendance in the
schools during the past few years, has
been largely out of proportion TO the
increase in the teaching force, and the
present force of teachers, no matter
how competent these teachers may be.
cannot do justice to the great number
OF pupils that are crowded into the
lover grades, no.. can a teacher do
justice to herself when she has from
90 to 80 pupils TO LOOK after.
The opinion of the best teachers in
our cities, those who have had a
long and varied experience in the
schoolroom: is that 10 pupils in a
room are as many as one teacher can
properly handle in the lower grades
OF school work. and yet some of our
teachers have double that number IN
der them.
The DEMOCRAT believes it would
be wise policy on the part of the
school board to employ at least two
more teachers for next year, for there
are plenty of pupils to make two more
elementary departments, give each
teacher enough work to do, and at the
same time enable these teachers to do
better work
The DEMOCRAT has no disposition
to dictate 70 the school board, but it
hopes it will take this suggestion un-
der advisement and give it due con-
sideration. We firmly believe it is
the honest desire of the board TO do
y b 1t is best for the schools. and we
are also of the opinion that the citi-
zens here do not want the usefulness
of the schools crippled for lack of
sufficient teaching force.
Below is given some figures in re
gard to the inadequate force OF
ttI:trhprS.

THE ADMIRAL HEslTArEs.
HIS Friends Think He should Come
Out and Make a Political >rate-
ment TO the Public

Admiral Dewey is hesitating about
issuing his political statement. Men
close to the Admiral are urging him
to speak, and to speak promptly.
while others are impressing upon him
the value of the rule-s'Silence is
golden"
Admiral Dewey is inclined to re-
gard this rule with favor and to be-
lieve this is not the time for him to
talk. His mail and his callers assure
him that his candidacy is progressing
favorably. What is there for him to
gain, he asks himself, by issuing a
statement? Admiral Dewey rather
favors the policy of drifting. He
thinks the time to act is when an
emergency arises.
The Admiral is particularly inter-
ested in Georgia and Texas. Ii the
delegates in these States can be sent
to Kansas City without instructions
or with instructions to vote for the
Admiral, the latter believes the Bryan
South will be transformed into the
Dewey South.
Admiral Dewey's friends are some-
what disappointed over the failure of
former President Cleveland to mention
him, either directly or indirectly, in
his letter of regret to the Thomas.
jefferson dinner of the Brooklyn DEM
ocratie Club. Mr.. Cleveland is rec
ognized as favorable to the Admiral's
candidacy, and some of the Dewey
men tAnk he might have given impet-
us to the Dewey boom by inserting
some references to the Admiral's cam
didacy in his letter.

Let Us Put a stop to Pistol Carrying.

Let Us Put a Stop to Pistol Carrying.
The carrying of apistol is premedi-
tated murder-the idea is to shoot
somebody, otherwise the Juggling
around of several pounds of metal is
useless. The dangerous dog is killed,
but the municipallaw provides that tho
pistol bearing man and boy shall
only be put in Jail. Let this law be
enforced. There are hundreds here
wearing guns: jerk up an average
crowd and ten per cent will found
armed Give the officers tip that a
certain party is vic ating the law
against carrying concealed weapons,
let them investigate and when sure
that the offender has a weapon on his
person, swoop down on him, in the
middle of the street or any public
place, disarm him and march him off
to Jail. Make no distinction further
than to go for the intelligent offender
first and wind up with the more ignor-
ant. Let us stamp cut this kind OF
cowardice right now. II there had
been Juggling around Of pistols that
innocent boyish life would have been
saved yesterday.
