THE CLOUDS ARE LIFTING,

In this period Of temporary doubt in
Butte's labor and business circles it is
the duty of every honest friend Of the
men who toll to mnce no words in de-
acrbing the situation that confronts
them. People who read the news and do
their own thinking, uninf1uenced by the
poisonous Wgisperings of hired mischief
makers, are fully aware that present
conditions in the copper market have re-
suited from the disparity in supply and
demand. and that when that disparity
shall be equalized prosperity will return.
No syndicate and no syndicate of syndi-
Gates could long pay II cents for copper
in the face of largely increased supply
and largely decreased demand. 1t be-
came as certain as fate itself that pro-
duction must be restricted or the price
reduced, for the moment the syndicate
ceased taking copper that moment the
producers would enter into a scramble
to dispose Of their copper, each shading
the price of the other and soon smash
ing the price to an Improbable figure
to the injury of capital and labor alike
That was the danger which confronted
the copper trust" and it was on that
account and no other that an agreement
was brought about to limit the output
till the market should improve. The i'm
provement is already in sight, for the
manufacturers began to buy as soon as
they saw the Amalgamated people meant
business and would not allow collapse
with its inevitable loss, not only to
themselves but to the business and labor
interests connected with their opera
tions The worst is already over. The
clouds are rolling away, and Butte will
derive immense benefits when opera tons
Shall be resumed, as they soon will be.
suites future was never so bright
with promise as it is now, and its stabil-
1ty never so We'll assured,

FRANCE WINS,

Today's news indicates that France
is not engaged in the present alteration
with Turkey for the fun Of the thing.
The squadron sent out to the Levant
is said to have dispelled the ennui of
the French people and afforded means
for entertainment to a population bored
by the monotony of peace. Cool headed
statesmen who declared the premature
show of force piece of folly find few
supporters among mercurial French
men who delight in the theatrical fea-
lures of the incident. There was a sus-
picion in many minds when the French
fleet sailed for the Levant that the
movement was merely a piece of inter-
national vaudeville.
The very latest about the mixup is
that Turkey has conceded all the claims
made by France, and the curtain will be
rung down upon the incident with the
war contingent In France applaudins
and congra tulating themselves in
spasms of patriotic ecstacy.

YACHTS TO BURN
success.

It is told in recent dispatches that the
Shamrock II. is for sale to the highest
bidder and that buyers are not falling
over each other to secure the defeated
yacht. Before Sir Thomas Upton sailed
for Europe he left orders that the Sham
rock could be sold and the price put
upon the yacht was not prohibitive
one. Yet no American yatchsman of
means appears anxious to secure the
loser of the cup contest. The fact of
the matter is there is not great demand
for has-beens of any sort or kind on this
side of the water. In sports, politics
or business the under dog gets plenty
of sympathy, but no cash is squandered
in his behalf. It should not be neces-
sary to take the Shamrock II. across
the sea to find a buyer, however. She
sailed a game race and the owner Of
the craft was one of the most popular
sportsmen who ever received defeat
gracefully from a Yankee opponent. Sir
Thomas is said to have plans in course
of preparation for a third Shamrock.
In the event of his non-success at selling
the defeated boats the genial sportsman
will have yachts to burn when his next
Shamrock is outsailed and left without
first honors in its own or any other
country.

NOTABLE SUCCESS.

Announcement is made that the Sc
attle Standard has adopted the policy
of expansion to the extent of moving to
quarters sufficiently commodious to ac-
commodate its growth since it was estab-
lished year ago. Workers in the ranks
of Montana newspaper men know the
editor Of the Standard, A. K. Yerkes, and
they wish him we'll. He is the most orig
inal bright and entertaining writer in
the whole list of editors of the state Of
washington, and his crisp wit possesses
Ill the snap and piquancy that it had
when Yerkes made the Bozeman Chron-
!cle the best-known weekly in Montana
The Standard of Seattle is forging to the
front rank of Coast newspapers, and
YerAes is gaining the esteem of citizens
in his new location. He is a conspicu-
Gus example of the Montana bred news
paper man, and his success has given
the members of the craft in this state
no little feeling Of pride.

AT PORTLAND 1905.

Following the ST. Louis exposition will
come the Lewis and Clarke centennial
at Portland in 1905. OF this exposition
much has been said that is encouraging
to the promoters. 1t will be the first
great fair held on the Pacific coast. 1t
will test the coast region and determine
to what extent residents of that favored
section desire to patronize expositions.
There is a well defined impression
abroad that the exposition business is
being greatly overdone. This year the
Glasgow industrial exposition of Scot
land and the Pan-American al Buffalo
fell far short of what was expected by
those who had a financial interest in the
projects. The st. Louis exposition in
zoos will surpass in magnificence the

Subsequent Reflection.

The man who had gained a world wide
celebrity by refraining from swearing
when the endgate of his wagon gave
way and allowed load of apples to roll
to the bottom Of a steep hill was talking
about it a few years afterward.
There's always been a wrong impress
sion about the matter" he said, with
some chagrin. II didn't say swearing
wouldn't do the subject justice. All I
said was, what the Sam Hills the use?'
The apples weren't mine. and the wagon
wasn't mine. was workin' by the day.
didn't care durn where the apples
rolled to. Great Scott! If I'd felt like
swearin' I could have swore hole in
the ground six feet deep right then an
there. and if I'd known there would be
so much fuss made about it I would
have done 1t, too, b'Sosh!"

AN EXCELLENT SHOW.
"The Cowboy and the Lady" Pleases a
Large Audience.


Large Audience.
The large audience that witnessed
''The Cowboy and the Lady," at SUIT
toms new theater last night, was
amply repaid.
The play Is clever, and far above all
previous western plays" of recent
years; and the company is thoroughly
competent. S. Miller Kent, as the hero.
is easy, graceful and effective.
The temptation to swagger that he
withstands, stamps him as an actor of
caste and judgment. The support is all
good; yes, excellent.
Not single part Is handled badly.
Miss Ethlyn Palmer Is grace persona
fed, and her arch abandon as a proper
married person tired Of society, and
loathing contemplate husband, was
very pleasing Miss Rice, as Nudge, q
waif of the West, was delightful. She
rose act by act into favor of the audi
ence, until in the last act she had the
audience "solid for Midge."
Joe, a cowboy, a big. hearty, honest
representative Of the class, was charm
ingly interpreted by Mr.. Rapley. On the
witness stand, Mr.. Rapley kept the
house in laughing approval till he left
the stand.
The judge was admirably imperson-
ated, and the ladies who took the re-
spective characters of dance hall pro-
prietress and dance hall pianist, were
capital. Throughout, the performance
is smooth, and interest is never allowed
to flag through single weak member.
The performance tonight will close the
engagement.

A pallbearers organixation hal. haen

A Pallbearers organization has been
formed in Chicago. The item in the
press dispatches on another page is
brief and stripped of all but the merest
facts. 1t is dead certain. however, that
the pallbearers are determined to carry
out their plans. and it would appear that
they fully appreciate the grave RESPONSE
bilities bearing upon them. Application
has already been made to have the new
order a part of the American Federation
Of Labor and embalmed among the last
ing monuments to ambitious organizers.

Following close upon the story that
American jockeys are Disseminated
against on British tracks comes the news
that an American rider has been Sc.
lected to ride the horses of King Edward
VII. at the highest salary ever paid any
jockey for a years work. In today's
dispatches is the announcement that
Danny Maher will receive salary Of
$685. 900 for next years work in the sad
die. This report awakens the suspicion
that good jockeys find room at the top as
readily as experts in other lines. The
Lester Ref incident and accompanying
stories now stand in great nsed Of re-
vision and eorreeti0n.

TURNING the TIGER OUT.

Anticipatory interest in next Tuesday
nights election returns centers around
the result in Greater New York. The at
tempt to turn the tiger out is causing
comment and attracting widespread
attention the like of which has not been
known in the campaigns of recent years.
The record of Tammany during the past
administration has been especially foul
and there are evidences of wholesale
raids upon city revenues that cannot
fail to strengthen the opposition to
Cookers regime. During the past year
the salaries in the Street department
were increased one-half million dollars.
In the Finance bureau a raise of 100000
was made. In the Fire department
twice the latter sum was added to the
pay rolls. At this rate it is estimated
that in two years or SO a large per-
centage of the city's population will be
drawing salaries from the city treasury.
The sum of "A million dollars is annually
required to pay the salaries Of the army
of time servers. 1t is charged. that part
of this enormous salary bill is met with
money secured from the sale of city
bonds for the payment of which future
generations are laid under tribute.
Startling figures showing the increased
cost of the city's government furnish
some of the reasons for the demand
that a new deal be made in Greater New
York For reasons of economy as well
as decency the city must get rid OF
Croker.

Tine BANKRUPTCY nAslT.

Indications point to strong effort to
amend the present bankruptcy law at the
next session of congress. The present
law has been in operation long enough
to show many defects in its construc-
ton and inaccuracies in its operation.
Since the law went into effect men have
awaited themselves of it's provisions, en-
gagged in business again, and meeting
with successive disasters have lodged the
consequences by taking advantage Of the
bankruptcy act. It Is said that the
looseness of the laws provisions has in
terfered with the practice of extending
credit and has worked no little harm to
those who should not be compelled to
suffer because Of the lack Of honesty on
the part of others The features of the
those who have been unfortunate in hust-
ness and who surrender their property
to the court are generally commended.
This is not a matter of charity. but a
matter Of right. But to those who have
acquired the bankruptcy habit the law Is
an open road to dishonesty, and efforts
are now being made to 50 amend its pro-
visions that distinction may be made
between we'll meaning debtors and rogues.
When this greatly needed improvement
is made the federal bankruptcy law will
be one Of the most admirable pieces of
legislation ever struck OF by congress
to aid the business world.

From New York to London in 100

page tells of the plans made for cutting
down tie present schedule of ocean
travel. The journey will be made by
lard as far as 81. John. New Brunswick.
and thence across the sea to the Irish
coast. The swift locomotive is the prin-
cipal agency used in clipping the hours
from the time now separating the two

AMENDMENTS ARE PROPOSED.
Humane Society Meeting Has Limited
Attendance,

ACCeUOAUCSs
Owing to the small attendance at the
meeting Of the Humane society last
evening many matters of Importance
which were to have come before the as
sembly were put over until the next
meeting, which will be held at the
council chamber, November Is.
An amendment was proposed to the
by laws last evening providing for the
dividing of the society into three classes
life members, who may come in by
paying $25 or more at one time; active
members. who shall pay rs cents a
month. and honorary members. Active
members now pay 81 a year. It was also
proposed to pay the secretary $50 a
month. Neither matter was passed
upon.
The report of the treasurer showed a
small balance in the treasury. The re-
port Of the secretary, the text of which
was given in yesterdays Inter Mountain,
was presented.

SEEKS TO RETAIN QUARTERS.
Captain Jeans Of the Militia Wants Use
of Public Library Basement.

OF PUBIC 1lDTaTy 0aSe1HeUI'
Since the Meagher guards were forced
to give up their quarters in the base
ment of the library building, Capt G. S.
Teams of the organization has reached
the conclusion that the compulsory move
was without authority.
He is now endeavoring to find an
agreement made with the city, whereby
the guards are entitled to the library
basement building as an armory.
He spent yesterday in searching
through old minutes of city council pro-
ceedings, but so far was unable to find
what he was in quest of.
He will continue his search. however,
in the hope the militiamen may return
to their quarters.
