STAIN OF AMBITION.

IF these years had to be
lived again, the Philippine war
would not exist, leaving as it
does, the stain of ambition, ag-
erosion, avarice, greed, ingrat-
itude, treachery, cruelty and
despotism-a war against the
rights of self.government-AA
ti-imperialists among Republi'
cans consistently think that
Mr.. McKinley's unfortunate
proclamation of December, 1898,
taking forcible militaryGposses-
sion of the entire islands four
months before the ratification
of the treaty with Spain was

Sam Jones on Newspapers,

Speaking of newspapers Sam
Jones says: If [ wanted to get
a right square judgement Ia
rather go to newspaper office
than court of justice. No man
whose life is true, pure and just
is afraid of all the newspaper
presses in America. They are
the best detective force in tue
country to-day. They have
punctured more shams aud so
far as l am concerned l say
take the bride off and let them
go. The only ones that will be
hurt will be the shams and
frauds. And if you think the
newspapers print too much Of
a sensational kind don't you
read it and they will quit print
ing it. The newspapers need
to be reformed first. Newspa-
pers are printed for money and
to suit their patrons. If you
don't think they are run on
high moral platform like Mr..
Barnum's circus, just reform
yourselves and the papers will
follow suit or trump"

THRICE LOCATED.
Butte Consolidated Sues to Quiet Title
TO Lode Claim.

The Butte Consolidated Mining com-
pany began suit against sam Barker, Jr.'
in the district court to-day TO quiet title 10
the Annex, Plumber or Louise lode claim.
In the complaint the plaintiff alleges THAT
on March 4 of this year John X. Evans 10
Gated the Annex and on May 2, for a val
liable consideration, transferred 1t to the
company; that on April 13 Edwin Wright
located the ground and called 1t the
Plumber, but on May l he, too, trans
ferred the ground to the company; that
on May q the defendant made a pretend
ed location of a part OF the same claim
and called it the Louise, and then MADE
application for a patent to it; that TINS
location conflicts with that of the other
two; that on or about September IL, pc
fore the expiration of the sixty days
notice of the defendants application, the
plaintiff filed, in writing, an adverse
claim to the application, accompanying
it with a description of the ground IN
volved; that the adverse claim was all
lowed by the lana office on September Ii
and an entry made staying the appllca-
ton made by Barker.
The plaintiff further alleges that the
claim of Barker is without foundation in
fact and he has no right in equity or
law to it; that the Louise lode claim has
no existence either in law or fact.

Lenahan said he held In hand petitions
from six counties, signed by 5000 or 1000
people, all of whom asked for the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hogan.
Attorney General Nolan, for Lewis and
Clarke county, seconded the nomination
of Mr.. Hogan. Among other things. Mr..
ola said that had Hogan wished, he
could have received from the Clark con
vention an office far more lucrative than
that of governor, but he was above all
undue influences.
Upon motion of ]. R.. Quigley of Deer

Mr.. Hogan was declared the unanimous
