A PRINTER at McKeesport, Pa,
has resigned his office of alderman
of the ward because he considers
a man cannot be Christian and an
alderman; that he must stifle his
conscience to serve his constituents.
We have known several printers
since we first became acquainted
with the proverbial type-louse some
twenty years ago, but we never had
the pleasure of meeting one whose
conscience was so tender.

II SPECIAL SESSION.

The Duluth Herald of Monday
states that special session of the
Minnesota Legislature will doubt
less be held the coming winter to
consider the matter of mining taxa
ton.
1t has long been contended that
the mining interests of St. Louis
county are not paying a just pro-
portion of taxes, as compared with
the small property owner. But if
not it would seem that under exist
ing laws the desired end might be
accomplished, for if the assessors
do not do their work right it would
seem the county and state boards

S. Roberts, whose serious illness
with pneumonia was noted in The
Enterprise last week, died at the
Virginia Hospital at an early hour
Saturday morning, and was inferred
in the Virginia cemetery Sunday
afternoon. Deceased was a brother
of Capt. Harry Roberts, of Duluth,
and was known at many points in
the Lake Superior district, having
been engaged in mercantile and
mining business. In the early days
of the Fay mine he was superin-
tendent of that property, and later
was with the Columbia mine dur
ing the early stages of it's develop
ment. Since leaving here Mr.. Rob
erts had opened undertaking par
lors at Eve1eth, where he was in
business at the time of his demise.
The funeral ceremonies were con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Masonic order, of which deceased
was a member, the remains being
followed to their last rest by large
circle of sorrowing friends.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has put
stop to the talk of a third term by
issuing the following statement.
He says:
II regret that the suggestion of a
third term has been made. doubt
whether am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now ques-
tons of gravest importance before
the administration and the country
and their just consideration should
not be prejudiced in the public
mind by even the suspicion of the
thought OF third term. In view,
therefore. of the reiteration of the
suggestion of it, 1 will say now,
once for all, expressing a long set
tied conviction, that I am not and
will not become a candidate for a
third term, and would not accept a
nomination for it, if it were tender
ed men.
"My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the &C
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence 80 deeply ap-
preciate, and then with them to do
my duty in the ranks of private cit
izenship.

TIE CAMPAIGN.

The republicans have no excuses to Of
fer for their campaign. Their methods
have been clean and honest, and all Of
their appeals have been directed to the
intelligence Of the people. The plans
were all we'll conceived and energetically
carried out. Offensive personalities have
been wholly omitted, and it has been
essentially battle of principle with the
right apparently triumphant.
Throughout the campaign, Mr. E. a.
Morley has been at the head Of the re-
publican committee and is entitled to the
highest praise for his splendid work, to
which he devoted almost his entire time.
The same may be said of Acting Chair
man Morley's co-workers who were j. r.
Grice, secretary; John C. Heilig, assist
ant secretary; B. H. Cook, treasurer; j.
H. Oliver, Fred Kohl. H. M. Heimerding-
er, c. J. Stevenson, Alex Anderson, c. A.
Lyford and ]. S. Graehl.
These gentlemen share with Mr.. Nor
ley the honor for to-day's victory. They
have all worked increasingly for the sue
cess of the ticket, realizing fully how
much that meant for the party and for
the good Of the city.

TT LOOKS LIKE A CLEAN SWEEP.

AS we go to press there remains Nlrtu-
ally no doubt as to the election OF
Judge Sullivan as mayor. The success
OF the republican city ticket is prae-
tically conceded by the democrats, and
It looks as though all the republican
candidates on the aldermanic ticket
were elected as well.
This paper has been confident of a
republican victory since the day that
party put its ticket in the field. There
was a deep-seated sentiment in the
community in favor of change, and
the republican cause has been growing
stronger with every day. The candi-
dates themselves were all that The peo-
pie demanded, and they represented
principles that awakened enthusiasm.
The democracy, weak from the start,
was unquestionably injured by bare
faced attempts to work a colonization
scheme. and was compelled to stand on
the defensive throughout the campaign.
Today's work shows that the repub-
lican party in Butte is once more united
end presages greater triumphs yet to
come and the success of republican prin-
c.ples in the state.

Russia is apparently best able to in

We printed the other day the figures
prepared by the British board Of trade
showing for each of the seven great
maritime powers the yearly naval ex-
l. >nditures. total revenue and value of
sea exports and imports. The figures lin
themselves are impressive, as large
Numbers usually are. But their greatest
significance is to be perceived only in
analysis and comparison of them. Upon
the face of the returns Great Britain
sends most on her navy, followed at
a long distance by France, the United
States being third, Russia fourth, Ger
many fifth Japan sixth and Italy sew
enth. The ratio of naval expenditure
to value of sea borne commerce need
not detain us, since much Of such COM
,lerce is conveyed i'm alien vessels. But
LET us see the ratios of expenditures to
revenue and to tonnage.
Russia is set down as having the
largest revenue, France second, the
United States third, Great Britain
fourth, Germany fifth. Italy sixth and
| Japan. at a long distance, seventh.
| That is a very different order from the
| first given, though this country holds
| the same rank. But when we reckon
| the ratios of naval expenditure TO total
revenue we get still other results. Thus
Japan stands first on the list, with the
largest ratio of all. spending for her

JAPAN's CHANCE WITH RUSSIA.

Not without good reason is Japan TAX
ing firm stand against the aggression
Of Russia is China. Independent of the
attitude of other nations on this question,
Japan is thoroughly convinced that if the
encroa chments of the Car are not
stopped. the result will be the supremacy
of Russia in the Orient and the destruc-
ton of Japan's leadership and prestige
Through her war with China, Japan Sc
cured the long coveted Lais- Tung PENN
sula, which was finally wrested from her
by Russia so that the Mikado lost the
permanent fruits of the Chinese war.
Undoubtedly that loss still rankles in the
heart of the japanese, but independent of
it, the Mikado's government deems it
necessary to take stand. War may be
ayerted. but if So, it will probably only
be through a change of Russia's policy.
At first glance, the idea of Japan de-
liberately going to war with mighty RusJ
STA seems absurd, but that impression sdik-
appears with study. It would be Very
largely, and at first entirely a naval war.
Study will show that Japans navy is
real superior to that of Russia in every
respect. 1t is thoroughly modern and has
greater speed and better fighting N.Y.
chimes. AS to the skill and courage of the
japanese as sea fighters, that was DEM
onstra ed in the war with China and
there has been tremendous improvement
in the navy of Jaran since that time.
The Mikado is in a position to throw
all of his ships into action Immediately,
While Russia's navy is badly scattered,
OF necessity. The blow that Japan is
capable Of striking at sea would be swift
and terrible. AS to what might follow
after the first shock it is difficult to pre-
dict, but study of the situation which
will reveal not only Japan's resources but
the great interests that are involved, will
also show that the stand is not SO FOOT
hardy as might appear.

THE STATE PRESS.
FUSION Is DEAD.

Dillon Tribune: It is hoped that tho
legislature just closed will be a lesson
to the state for years to come. We do
not believe the democrats are satisfied
with the results of fusion. We are sure
the labOrites are not. The re is but one
party in Montana that has any stability
CIR principle about it, and that is the
republican party. When the mongrel
affair which was brought about for the
election of Clark and finished it's work
at the close of the recent session of the
legislature. resolves itself back into it's
constituent elements. the republican
party must again be recognized as the
leading party Of the state.
The various tickets in the field in the
larger cities of Montana are an idication
of what We may reasonably expect. The
fusion forces have parted company and
animcsities have been engendered aud
