1t would be discouraging to the bears
of Wall street and the men who are try
ing to break down Butte copper stocks
by circulating falsehoods in disparage-
ment of the great copper mines of this
district to note the absolute indifference
with which the people here regard their
distortions of fact. The stock sharks Of
tic unison against the Butte mines, they
will scare nobody in Butte. 1t may be
true as the Boston News Bureau trium-
phantly claims that its friends have
closed a number OF mines under injunc-
ton, but any intimation that the tenn
suited from any permanent cause is sim
ply an exposure Of Boston Ignorance
The men who control the great mines of
Butte are showing their faith by their
works. They are not shortening Butte
stocks or giving color to reports alleging
any diminution of copper values. They
are putting out 100000 for the new
smelter at Anaconda. That ought to be
sufficient answer to Butte's eastern de-
tractors and enemies who are trying to
make few dollars at the expense Of the
re reputation of this district. If the latter
find it to their advantage to point with
glee to the effect of recent court de-
cisions in limiting the copper output and
closing down mines, the people Of Butte
will not fail to take account Of the fact
and note the pernicious effect of litiga-
ton upon the public interest.
1t Is certain that the reduction in two
Butte dividends declared this week was
not occasioned by any change in the
condition of the mines which earned
them, but If as the Boston News Bureau
proudly boasts the companies in cues
ton are the defendants In 12O suits and
necessarily under heavy legal expense
the responsibility for the blow which
enemies of the camp are aiming at Butte
may be easily located. The Boston
paper, however. doubtless over estimates
Its Importance. The probable origin of
the slump is far removed from any rival
plans. 1t grew out Of stringency of
money among the heavy holders of steel
which compelled them to unload their
coppecs at reduced prices to prevent
greater disaster. Among the men who
hold coppers as an investment, having
faith in the Butte mines, there have been
no furry and no sales according to the

In an interview reported yesterday, a
we'll known citizen INDUCES in some init
nations concerning the subject Of license
collections. The Inter Mountain cheer
fully gives space to the gentlemans
statements, but would suggest that he
be more specific and cite instances OF the
official neglect and favoritism which he
assumes to believe. To indulge in yelled
accusation against public officials with
out giving names and dates is not fair
to the men accused. as 1t affords them
no chance for self-defense. II the COM
planning citizen will be more explicit he
may do the public a real service by
insisting on the enforcement Of the
license laws without favoritism. Insin-
uation, however. without proof and
without particulars, can accomplish no
possible good and may reflect on honest
public servants. Let the facts be stated.

It is to be regretted that the vast coal

NEW yORk'S COMING STRUGGLE,

The Endorsement of Seth Low for
mayor Of New York by the various re-
form committees and conventions marks
the beginning of battle which promises
TO be memorable in the history of
Gotham politics. Corrupt and ineff-
Gent government under Tammany has
reached such pass that it is almost
national disgrace. Certainly it has
alarmed every good citizen Of the me-
tropolis, and if division of the reform
forces can be prevented there will be
reason to hope for the early overthrow
OF Richard Croker and his rascally albeit
tors in crime.
The reform conferees, or representa-
tlves of the law abiding citizens of New
York and the committees appointed by
them have drawn up a sort of declara-
ton Of civic independence, arraigning
the Tammany bosses for their corrupt
methods and pledging honest and lib
eral government for the people If they
will take common cause and unite to
drive out the crooked crowd of Croker
The declaration or platform Of the con-
ferees, who are acting in cooperation
with the citizens union, is as follows:
We, the united anti-Tammany organ
lzat1ons OF Greater New York, believing
that the present city administration is
a reproach to decent citizenship, and
that the paramount duty Of the coming
mayoralty election is to root out the
prevailing corrupt conditions. hereby de-
clare in favor of the election Of our nom-
1nees who stand with us on the follow
ing platform:
1. A progressive, business-like and
non-partisan administration Of munich
pal affairs, with special view to cut
ting down public expenses and reducing
the present excessive burden Of taxa
ton.
2. The liberation of the innocent GUS
toms and habits of our COSMOPOLITAN
population by rational laws and regula-
lions assuring the largest measure of
personal liberty consistent with the
maintenance Of law and order.
). The conservatism of the interests
OF capital and labor by an equal en-
forcement of laws and the enactment Of
such new measures as the welfare of
the toil1ng masses may require.
4. The extirpation of the police black
mail iniquity and of the system of DO
litical jobbery, maintained in the inter-
ests OF the Tammany boss who, though
foreign resident and British tax
payer, yet rules the city of New York
by virtue Of his control of Tammany
hall.
5. The steady betterment Of munich
pal conditions by furthering such neces-
sary public improvements as tend to the
greatest good of the greatest number.
There does not seem to be any euuivc-
cation about the above declarations.
They give graphic pen picture OF the
condition of the national metropolis,
which, instead of being the best gov
erned city in the Union. is a very hot
bed of corrupt bossism, Official extrava-
travagance and ignorant misrule.
