been lack of system, lack of cooperation,

SOME FILIPINO LOGIC.

how can they say 1t Is not satisfactory
to them? Again, in the third resolution,
the Cebuans declare that they "are will
ing to accept any honorable form OF
government within the sphere of liberty"
If they do not know what "the American
congress will establish" how do they
know it's system will not be IAN honor
able form Of government within the
sphere of liberty" such as they say they
are willing to accept? Finally. in the
fourth resolution. they express admira-
ton for the American people, because
they are essentially democratic. and, be-
sides, have good system of govern
ment," and they declare their desire Ito
follow in the footsteps of the Ameri
cans" If, then, the American system
is good, and democratic, and satisfac-
tory to the Cebuans. why do the Cebuans
say they do not know what congress will
give them. and that anyway it will be
unsatisfactory and repugnant, although
they are ready to accept any honorable
form of government within the sphere Of
liberty? 1t would seem more rational for
them to ascertain what the American
proposals are before rebellng against
them, and meantime their most natural
assumption should be that the proposals
good system of government" in whose
footsteps they desire to follow, will be
proposals, for IAN honorable form of
gvernment within the sphere Of lib
erty."
We are not inclined to be censorious
toward these resolutions, because it
would be unreasonable to expect any,
thing much better from Filipinos who
have had no experience in self govern
ment or statecraft, or to look for sound
logic from those who without cause or
reason rebel against lawful and benev-
client government. But it is due to COM
mon sense to protest against the apothe-
osizing of such incoherent rubbish as an
emanation Of pure reasons. We

PRESIDENT PORFIRIO DIAZ.

The latest reports contradict the dis
patches sent out from Mexico last week
announcing that President Diaz was in
sane From the information at hand, 1t
seems that the president is in poor
health and threatened with a general
breaking down of the splendid physical
and mental forces that have made him
SO successful and brought repose and
prosperity to his country. The chances
for his speedy recovery seem good, and
all friends of Mexico must feel relieved
at knowing that his condition is 80 very
much less serious than the first reports
indicated. Still, Diaz is an old man,
seventy years of age, and much Of his
life has been a fierce conflict, followed
by tremendous responsibilities, and al
best he cannot last many years longer.
The effect of his death is just now be-
ing widely discussed, and everywhere it
is agreed that such an event would be a
| calamity to his own country and give
| rise to a crisis.
The warnings he has received
however, have probably not gone
unheeded by the president, and hi
craftsmanship is likely to reach IA
enough into the future to provide TO
Just such a contingency and protect hi
country against any departure from tn
lines that have transformed it.

Just at this time the Butte streets are
covered with mud and filth But the
Miner will inform us that this condition
does not always exist. Quite true. The
mud and filth are rapidly drying up and
by the time warm weather comes will he
carried over the city by every wind. and
in this pulverized form will become a
menace to health and source of annoy
ance to every business house and every
resident of the city. Although the time
for spring cleaning has arrived and a
squad of men, specially selected by the
democratic administration with a view to
certain additional services to be rendered
on election day, has been put to work.
the lesson of last summer has not been
forgotten. Every citizen who favors
clean streets should support the republic
can ticket, which is pledged to this re-
form. The proud boast Oh democracy
that it cleans the streets lace a year
may be frank and even truthful, but it is
not sufficient.

ROBERT F. TURNER.

The Office of police magistrate in the
city Of Butte is an important one, call
ing for integrity and the constant ex-
ercise of good judgment. The judge Is
entrusted with wide discretion which
must not be abused. and the office is one
that the people cannot afford to expert
ment with.
The republican nominee for police
judge is an ideal candidate. Robert F
Turner has resided here nearly thirty
years and has a perfect knowledge OF
local conditions. A practical man OF
affairs, he was engaged as engineer at
the Gagnon mine until 1892. when he
met with an accident that made It
necessary to change his vocation. He
was later elected as police judge. and In
that office made record of which he
and his party may Well feel proud. His
nomination this year is deserved recog-
milton of his ability. Mr.. Turner is a
charter member of the National Asso-
citation Of Stationary Engineers, as we'll
as of the Brotherhood, and has been a
long friend Of organized labor. His
ability, his record and his personal pop
ularity insure his election. No wonder
the local democracy is discouraged when
such men as Robert Turner are put for
ward by the republicans.

MONTANA wORKINGMEN.

Great Falls Leader: In the parlance
OF the labor party at present. the in.
scription, Put net your trust in princes"
has been changed to read, Put not your
trust in democracy" Certainly democ-
racy has betrayed them on every side
and at every point; the question, there
fore, remains as to whether they will be-
lieve the words of the democratic lead
ers once more or whether they will re-
pudiate these men that have led them
into false ways and decide either to
stand by themselves or to join with the
only party that can do them good, and
that has shown in the past a disposition
to favor them in every way possible.
This party is the republican party, an /
through it, and through it only, have
the workingmen received any substan-
tial benefit. If they are sensible, they
will again join that party and work with
it for their own good.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans of the city Of Butte in
convention assembled. view with pardon
able pride the past history of the repubi-
can party, and feel assured that such
past history is a guaranty of its future
actions.
we begin the twentieth century with
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 Vlo-
cations of law in the city of Butte.
For their lack of a proper apprecia-
Eion of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government, as shown by their in
competent and inefficient police regula-
tions 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 to improve the condition OF
1.-THE community, thus failing to insure
condition of advantage to which every
citizen is entitled.
For their open and notorious disregard
OF the fact that a public office is
public trust, as demonstrated by the
fact that the present democratic city
administration believe that "a public
office is private snap"
The republican party, as in the past
assures the citizens of Butte that in thu
future its actions, and the actions of it,
promises, II 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 o
law, and the advancement Of good orde
and morals of the community in whicl
we live.

To the end that these principles Q

THE WERTIN VERDICT.

Great Falls Leader: Probably, in con-
sidering the sentence to be passed on
Jakob Wertin. the Jury considered that
he would have all the balance of his
life in which to do nothing more. hard
ly, but think of the crime he had COM
mitted; to remember that he had killed
his son, and therefore they showed him
at least something OF what might be
called doubtful mercy. Surely. If pun
ishment was their object, they have TAX
en- q surer way to punish him than If
they had demanded his life. There have
been many murders committed in Cas-
cade county and the jury in the Wer-
tin case has found out a way to pre-
vent so many In the future. 1t is to be
hoped that other juries will profit by the
example.

CARNEGIE AND SAGE.

The recent benefactions Of Andrew
Carnegie are too stupendous to be read
lily grasped. Aside from the scattering
gifts, the one he made to New York city
and the other to the employees of the
Carnegie company at Pittsburg ,aggre-
gate over $10.000,O0o.
The press comments upon these prince
ly donations are exceedingly interesting
and that of the San Francisco Chronicle
in particular is most timely. The Chron-
icle makes a comparison between Car
megie and Russell Sage, two men who
resemble each other to the extent that
both are very rich. But there the resem-
blance ends. Carnegie, as the Chronicle
points out, devoted his fife and all of
his great energy and high ability to
building up splendid industries that
have for years furnished thousands of
men with steady employment at good
wages. Through all this. Mr.. Carnegie
ON the other hand, has made practically
every dollar he possesses by speculation.
He has created nothing, and at IS clings
| as tenaciously to his dollars as he did
wears ago. In closing its comparison, the
| Chronicle says:
Sage has built up no great industry
from which others may profit; still he
! has the audacity to pass adverse judg-
| ment on Carnegie who has, and blames
him for quitting business while yet in the
| prime of life. He says that Carnegie
could not help making money, because

try insured that, ignoring the fact thai
| Carnegie's energy, enterprise and fore

There were recently read in the United
States senate certain resolutions which
We're adopted in July last by the repre-
sentatives of a number Of towns in Cebu
in opposition to the establishment Of
American authority in that island. They
were presented to the senate with the
somewhat grandiose statement that in
form and substance were as honorable
as any resolutions which an equal num-
Der Of towns in Massachusetts could pro-
duce, and they have since been cited as
fine examples of the superiority Of Fill
pino craftsmanship over that Of the Unit
ed States. Had 1t not been for such ex-
travagant praise the resolutions would
have attracted no more attention than
has been given to other similarly illog-
ical and empty fulminations. AS it is, at
risk of WEAKNESS, though perhaps with
some little admixture of amusement and
pity, 1t may be worth while to examine
them seriously and to analyze their ex-
traordinary logic.
The first resolution expresses a desire
for the blessings Of liberty-to which.
Of course. no exception can be taken
and an aspiration to territorial and po-
litical independence. There is no attempt
to prove that the blessings of liberty can
not be enjoyed under American rule, nor
any to set forth reasons why the island
should be made independent OF the gov
eminent which alone under the laws of
the world exercises legitimate authority
over it. Passing by the first. however,
as merely general and Introductory in
terms, we find in the second resolution
this remarkable statement: That we
desire peace, order and tranQuillity and
thus do not agree to the establishment
of new municipal system which is not
satisfactory to the people, for to recog-
nize sovereignty which the conscience
repels is repugnant to reason. because
we do not know what the American con-
gress will establish" That is somewhat
mixed, but if it means anything it seems
to be, first, that the new government
which the United States proposes to
establish is not satisfactory to the people
and, second, that they do not know what
kind of a government it is or is to be-
