AGREES WITH GEORGIANS.
A National Gunrdsman Writes About
the Famous Match.

Many people in the North sympathize
with the Georgia team in the controversy
that arose over the Hilton Trophy match
a Sea Grit. One of the latest to be heard
from is the Inspector general of rifle prac-
tice of the national guard of one of the
states, who writes Cob George T. Cam,
who holds the position in Georgia. that he
had read the account of Ceorgia's side OF
the case, and that he believes implicitly
in the justice of the plea
The inspector general, judging from his
letter. does not think very much of the
New Jersey Association. He tod of hav-
ing seen and heard things to make him
more than suspicious that the Georgians
were not given a square deal. The mem
bers of the Georgia team are of the same
opinion.

P. j. OConnor Esq. is expected back
to-day from Washington, where he at
tended the meeting of the national Of
ticers of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
on Sunday. The purpose of the meeting
was TO express sympathy with the Beers,
and decide upon what steps, if any, could
be taken by the order to render them as
sistance in their struggle with the British.
The signed statement sent out by the
national officers of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, published in yesterday 5
Morning News Boiled down, the state
ment is simply an expression of sympathy
with the Beers and hatred of the British
The question of assistance for the Beers
is dealt with in very general terms, and
the intention of the officers and members
of the order to do nothing in violate of
the laws of the United States is much
stressed upon. This leads to the suspicion
that the statement does not convey the
real purpose of the official leaders of the
order and merely conceals the real plans
by which they propose to render more sub
slantial aid to the Beers than a mere ex-
preston of sympa thy. A gentleman, who
is quite close to Mr.. OConnor, said yes
terday that the statement sent out by the
officers of the A. o. II. was as impene-
trable in its meaning as the oracies of
Delphi Doubtless Mr. OConnor will be
able to give the proper Interpretation. Mr..
O'Connor was national president of the
A. o. H. for four years. and is now one
of the national directors. There has been
some talk of a movement to start sub
scription here TO a fund for the aid of the
Beers, but so far as can be learned moth
ing of the kind has been begun as yet.
Should an effort be made to arouse public
interest in the matter it is not unlikely
that something would be accomplished.

TALK ABOUT COURTESY

The Anaconda Standard is in no posi-
ton to p~rofane the name of newspaper
courtesy by assuming to merit It. When
a newspaper persistently attributes to
another statements never made, and re-
fuses to make the proper corrections
when demanded; when it accuses an ex-
change of manufacturing kilograms in
its office, in order to divert attention
from the truths they contain; when it
berates and abuses the correspondents
Of another PAPER for the non-partisan ex-
position of the news, when it mo dis
pute the facts recited, the Standard
takes itself outside the pale of news
paper courtesy. 1t is nothing more nor
less than a pirate ON the sea of journal
ism and it floats the black flag, politi-
cally and otherwise.

BRAVERY on MERfTs

After paying General Cronje the usual
tribute which the world owes to bravery.
regardless of the character of the cause
that inspires it, the Butte Miner this
morning inquiries: "Can civilization per-
init the wiping from the map Of a re-
public which produces such menu"
This is a distinct appeal to the civilized
nations of the world to interfere and
prevent the triumph OF the British forces
in the Transvaal.
Without reference to the actual merits
of the controversy, and the issues in
volved, the Miner would have civilization
step in and prevent the ma of Africa
from losing a so-called republic, because
It has produced a general who was brave
enough to fight, and bull-headed enough
to refuse to surrender until he was COM
PEELED to-a type OF mem common to
every war that has been fought since
still.
The fact tina a nation produces a race
Of good fighters, as the Beers are con-
ceded to be, does not imply that its
methods of doing business irresistibly
appeal to the civilized world.
No men on this globe could excel the
Apaches and the Sioux Indians as fight
ers in the hey-day of their tribal life. yet
there was little in their governmental at
fairs to challenge the admiration OF man
kind.
The gallant stand. made by General
Cronje does not alter the circumstances
which led up to the a or add any
merit to the claims originally set forth
by the Beers.
II an exhibition of bravery and self
sacrifice constitute a reason why cfv1lt-
zation should interfere for the preserva-
ton Of an unjust. and wholly inadequate
form of government, it was a crime
which peopled America with whites.
The Boer republic is not a republic In
fact.
1t is an oligarchy Of IN Infamous type;
and it does mot deserve a place ON the
map, unless it's laws are radically re-
formed to meet the demands of civilized
men.
The civilization of the age recognizes
more and more the inherent rights OF
man, and the tendency Of government Is
in that direction. 49,
The Beers are a century behind time
in the march Of progress.
They must conform to the modern idea
of civilization on gradually get off the
earth, just as the other hermit races OF
the world have been doing since modern
thought has dominated the actions Of
men.

THE ELECTION OF 1888.

While discladming any desire to inter-
fere with the interesting duel which is
now going on between the Anaconda
Standard and the Butte Miner over the
election of 1883, the Inter Mountain does
not believe that the historical features OF
that event should he distorted with inn
punity. AS the republicans profitted
from the outcome OF that contest, and
placed upon the threshold of a most note
worthy career a man who stands de-
servedly high in the councils of the ma
ton. there is little inducement to inter-
fere in the contention OF our contempor-
aries as to whether Mr.. DAILY defeated Mr..
Clark or Mr.. Clark defeated himself.
However, lit is only fair to keep the
records right as one plows along toward
the end of the furrow, and permit no mis-
statement of historical facts to be
charged up to the feeble memory of a
great state. Aside from those who per-
INIT the Standard to take charge of their
III VI oS y oS w w LAX
thinking for them, it will be universally
conceded that the contention of the Miner
is correct. There is not the shadow of a
doubt as to the fact hat Mr.. Clark's con-
gressional aspirations that year were
slivered into fragments by Mr.. DAILY. No
mount of sophistry on the part of the
Standard can eliminate the undeniable
political truths OF that campaign. Had
not Mr.. Daily voted the men in his en-
ploy against Mr.. Clark he would nave
been elected that year beyond the shadow
Of a doubt.
The Inter Mountain does not question
the right exercised by Mr.. DAILY to defeat
his democratic rival, when the opportu-
nifty presented itself, especially when the
state gained as able a representative in
ongres as Mr.. Carter proved himself to
be. We are dealing only with the historic
cal side of THE question. When reference
was made to that campaign, while Mr..
DAILY was on the witness stand the other
day. he acknowledged that he turned
against Mr.. Clark. having changed his
mind as to the desirab.lity of his election,
thus practically confirming THE position
taken by the Miner as to the causes of
democratic defeat

e LINCOLN ALINE!.

True to its Hypothetical tendencies, to
which we have had OCCASION to refer
heretofore, the Anaconda Standard this
morning remarks: 'If Lincoln were
alive he would surely be a back num-
ber.''
way by which we can successfully rebut
the argument advanced by our contem-
porary.
1t is fair to assume, however, that If
Mr.. Lincoln Were alive he would ipe a
back number il it lay within the power
OF the democratic newspapers to place
him In that position.
During his lifetime he was bounded
day and night by the bourbon organs, In
an unsuccessful effort to make a back
number of him.
1t was not until a good many years after
his death that the democracy. accorded
respect to his memory, or were willing to
forget the energy which he displayed in
crushing out the rebellion Of the states.
Gradually, however, az the democracy
began to trail up after the republican
party, and give it's assent to public uheas-
ures which it had unsuccessfully con-
| demned. it began to appropriate to Itself
the virtues Of the martyred president.
If Colonel Bryan is an authority on the
matter, Lincoln, i'm all his public acts,
initiated as closely as possible h con-
duct of the new democracy which is now
trying to do business in this country!
In fact, Lincoln is publicly accused of
having patterned after the colonel as
closely as the conditions Of history
would permit.
Almost any democratic newspaper will
tell you that if Bryan had been I'M Lin
coins place, and the latter in Bryan's
place, you couldn't tell which from
t'other,' for great minds run in the sans
channel!
Yet the Standard says Lincoln would
be a back number were he alive today!
Does that sheet overlook h diurna
announcement by Mr.. Bryan that Mr.
Lincoln was a democrat at heart?
