we begin the twentieth century With a
republican national administration. 1T

We arraign the democratic party of
the city of Butte for it's utter msman-
asement and incompetency in the affairs
of municipal government. as shown by
thei~ utter disregard for public health,
furnishing to US nothing but dirty
streets.
For their contempt for public morals.
as shown by the open and notorious vio-
lations of law in the city of Butte.
For their lack of a proper apprecia-
ton of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government is shown by their in
competent and inefficient police regula-
tons in the city of Butte. -
For their inefficient police officers who
have become but the mere political ma
chine of the present administration. as
shown by their open and fragrant advo-
cacy of politics rather than the atten-
ton to public duty.
For their failure to provide suitable
ordinances 10 improve the condition of
the community. thus failing to insure a
condition of advantage to which every
citizen is entitled.
For their open and notorious disregard
of the fact that a public office is a
public trust as demonstrated by the
fact that the present democratic city
administration believe that "a public

briefly to the new election law. and the
matter is of such Importance that we
desire to call attention to it again.
Under the new law, the cross must be
marked in front OF the name of each

provision. but a new one. and should not
be overlooked in any particular or the
result will be a defective ballot.

title of part of the political code is
amended to read as follows:

elector about to cast his ballot is per-
mitted to be within said rail: and in cases
OF small precincts. where places, booths
or compartments are not required. no
person engaged in preparing his ballot
shall. in any way. be interferred with by
any person. unless it be some one author
lied by the provisions of this chapter.
TO assist him in preparing his ballot: nor

tioneerng on election day. No person
wha tever shall do any electoneering on

lows:

Vienna, March 27.-The Weiner Tagee-

inseparable from political interests, and
remarks:

changes wrought by time have brought
about a modification of Germany's point

AMERICAN Intervention.

Of Manchuria by Russia, and mined to
telieve that If other powers allowed
China to be forced to part with the
province. the result would be the parti-
ton and dism emberment of China His
inquiries indicated that he felt much
concerned. and thought American inter-
vention at this time would be the most
effective aid China could have. He said
he had no information about the atti-

there might have been danger that the
head OF the administration would be OBJ
scured. But a man Of Mr.. Woolley's
varied accomplishments and prodigious
humor would not be lost in the most dis

Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan for cab

ogrizes good qualities even in his most
dangerous rivals. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that all OF his cabinet would not
have practiced the virtues of prohibition,
and If Mr.. Woolley had even been tempt
ed to go on duck-hunting expedition
there would have been danger of mis- fall
ing from grace. Mr.. Woolley had a great
time at his Inauguration. the ceremonies
not being confined to Washington, but
being held simultaneously in every town
in the country in which the cold-water
candidate for the presidency had any
following. Possibly four years hence the
defeated prohibition candidate of 1900
may again be an aspirant for presidential
honors. Perhaps by that time a "wave
of reform may have swept over the
country and every voter may be cold

yet past. Let Mr.. Woolley take corr

WHAT MAKES A CITY GROW.

The Miner Yesterday had considerable

Tributes it, OF course, to the democratic
city administration. But is that the real
cause? The people know it is not and
the democratic organ doubtless knows If
too. The year 1886 sigma ed the end Of
CleHe'andism. The affairs of the nation
passed into the hands of the republican
party and when William Mckinley took
the presidential chair the effect was
magical. The soup houses disappeared,
the CoXey armies We're disbanded, conf
dence was restored. capital emerged from
its hiding places and the promised era Of
prosperity dawnsd.
Montana and Butte, in common with
every other part of the republic, felt the
u!ekening impulse. How could it have
been otherwise when every branch Of
trade and industry all over the land re-
Nived? How could it have been otherwise
when the republican policies gave us II
cent copper, better prices for wool, for
gram, for every product of the farm and
factory. of the mine and mill, and our
trade constantly expanded until today
the United States leads the whole world?
What was it that gave profitable en-
ployment to thousands of men in the
mines, mills and smelters of Butte? Wha,
was it that gave prosperity to our mep.
chants and business men? Was It the
fact that Butte had a democratic admin.
