tration lists the names of many per-
sons not legally entitled to vote. 1t Is
the duty of the republicans to see to it
that such persons do not vote. There Is
a way to prevent them from doing so,
and republicans should make arrange
ments to see that only those qual!fie
as electors exercise that right.
Mr.. Morley and all of his associate s
on the city committee are working ener-
getically to bring out the full republican
vote. and the individual members of the
party are urged to lose no opportunit J,
to advance the good cause. 1t Is not
simply a victory that is needed next
month. but such victory as will for
ever discourage the slipshod methods Of
government that have prevailed here for
two years. Such a victory as is hoped
for will be of immense benefit to the
republican cause throughout the whole
state.
Let all republicans determine to dis
charge their duty on election day. The.
will never have an opportunity to vote
for better men or a better cause.

SEARCH OF THE JAIL.
A Few Contraband Articles Discovered
in the Cells of Prisoners.

Sheriff Furey and Deputies Proebstel,
McGarvey. Dobson and Under Sheriff
Whitley gave the county Jail a thorough
search late yesterday afternoon and sue
ceeded in unearthing a few tr1nkets.
Among the things found in the cells were
four pocket knives, a razor, bottle of
morphine and steel saw crudely made.
While the cells were being searched the
prisoners were lined up along the wall of
the corridor. There are at the present
time some pretty tough men in the Jail
and 1t IS just possible that they would
not lose an opportunity to escape If one
should be offered. Four of them have
not been out of the penitentiary very
long and the chances for their return to
that institution are most elegant. One,
w. H. Bigelow, has been there twice;
still he is not desperate by any means.
William Perry. who a few days ago
pleaded guilty to a charge of receiving
stolen property knowing it to have been
stolen and received sentence of one
year In the penitentiary. Is also serving
his second term at Deer Lodge, but the
fact that he had been in prison before
was not known at the time he was per-
mitted to plead guilty to the last charge.
Otherwise he would have been given
an additional dose under the habitual
criminal act.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1901-03-23

Last Monday the people of Boston
celebrated evacuation day with more
than usual enthusiasm. One of the
orators was Massachusetts, favorite son,
Senator Hoar. who. as usual, made fine
and patriotic address. in concluding
which he recalled the lesson of the eva-
cuation-a lesson that democrats seem
to have forgotten.-in these words: .
But they knew that there was no lib
erty where taxation exists without rep
resentation: where one people makes
laws for another people to obey. and
that there is. in the nature of things, 40
liberty without independence 1t was for
that they fought. 1t was for that they
died-some of them.
1t was for that they drove England
out of Boston. The evacuation of Bos-
ton was not simply that one flag went
down and another flag went up over
the Province house and the Old State
House; that soldiers in homespun fol-
lowed down to the wharves other SOL
diers in red coats. On the 18th day OF
March, 1776. republicanism. under George
Washington. drove Imperialism, under
Sir William Howe. out of Boston, never
to come back. And that is the lesson
of this anniversary.

FULL OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

The second duty Of the republicans,
to register, has been discharged in
way that shows they are fairly alive to
the Importance of the present city cam
paign and take a keen interest in the
result. The registration leaves the dem
ocrats little to hope for and it is full
of encouragement for the republicans.
However strong a ticket may be it can
only be carried to victory by hard work,
and the city committee, under the &C.
tive direction of Mr.. Morley has won
the first skirmish in getting republican
voters registered. There should be no let
up from this time until the polls Close.
and the city committee should be given
all needed help and encouragement in
the effort to secure good government for
Butte.
The democrats. we understand, have
followed their time-honored practice
and succeeded in getting upon the regis

REPu BL1CAN PLATFORM.

The republicans of the city Of Butte in
convention assembled, view with pardon
able pride the past history Of the republi-
can party, and feel assured that such
past history is a guaranty of it's future
actions.
We begin the twentieth century with a
republican national administration, at
whose head are the two great repre-
sentative American citizens, William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
We arraign the democratic party OF
the city of Butte for it's utter misman-
agement and incompetency in the affairs
of municipal government, as shown by
their 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 proper apprecia-
tion of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government. as 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

cacy of politics rather than the atten-
ton to public duty.
For their failure to provide suitable
ordinances to 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
office is a private snap"
The republican party, as in the past,
assures the citizens of Butte that in the
future its actions and the actions Of its
promises. If elected to Office. will follow
those principles of government which
are best calculated to advance the inter-
ests of the city Of Butte.
We favor the better enforcement of
| law. and the advancement of good order
and morals Of the community in which
We live.
We are in favor of clean public thor
oughfares.
We favor a police force made up o,
competent persons.

The esteemed Miner is indignant with
the Inter Mountain because this journal
used an extract from one of it's editori-
ais Yesterday without using the entire
article. The Miner courteOusly intimates
that we have a black. malignant. wicked
and abandoned heart and that our soul
is sunk in iniquity, and repeats it's orig
inal demand for a clean. gentlemanly
campaign. The Inter Mountain, in the
interests of the clean campaign idea. and
endeavoring in a weak way. to emulate
the Miners perfect courtesy. is willing to
admit here and now that the editorial Of
the Miner referred to was string of
gems. the most precious of them ALTO
the republicans-being the admission
made regarding the inefficiency Of the po-
lice department.. The Miner, in that
particular editorial, said a number of
things, but nothing to break the force
of the paragraph we quoted. That
Stood independent of anything that pre-
coded or followed it. fact that Is only
emphasized by the explanatory editorial
Of this morning. The Miner affects a
terrific rage at the Inter Mountain for
directing public attention to it's former
plea of guilty to the republican indict-
! ment, but we believe our polished and
courteous contemporary Is not half 70
angry with this paper as it is with it.

LEADING THE WORLD.

The United States still maintains it's
proud position at the head of the process
sion of nations. Since it took the lead
in the worlds trade, each month seems
to emphasize it's leadership, and the
complete statistics of our foreign trade
for February bring the total Of our ex-
ports for twelve months up to $l.49O =
194,9S5. The figures for eight months Of
the fiscal year, beginning July / last.
are 81 ,015. 1884 as against $917. 473.471
for the corresponding period of the pre-
vious fiscal year, and $500. $685. during
the same months Of the last year under
the German Wilson law. The result is
beyond all predictions made. and shows
an increase of so per cent in our export
trade in five years of protection. The
balance Of trade in our favor for the
eight months now stands at nearly half
billion dollars-to be exact. $492 .224. 904,
as against 1864. 1897 for the CORE
spending months of 1900 and SCI. 10000
during the same period in 1896 under the
German Wilson law.
All the argument that is needed in
favor of the present system of prOtec-
ton may be found in these figures. and
there is added encouragement in the fact
that despite the enormous growth or
our export trade there is a marked fall
ing off in the imports of foreign mer-
chandise. During last February. the
amount of these imports was fully $5,-
900. 900 less than in February year ago
and for the eight months the decrease
will figure out $32.00o.OoO as compared
with the same period of the preceding
year.
