REPUBLICAN TICKET.
A SAD FAREWELL.

All that is mortal of Frank f. Corbett
was this afternoon quietly laid to rest.
Surrounded by heartbroken relatives
and Borrowing friends his tired body
was softly casped to the bosom of
mother earth there to await the final
summons.
His gentle chivalrous spirit has
crossed the dark, placid unfathomable
River of DEATH and has entered the
elysian fields to rest under the shade of
the trees. Peacefully may he rest. In
life he was respected, loved and cher
ished. in death he will be mourned
deeply, sincerely. Let us believe that
out of the valley of the shadow of death
he has entered into the clear light of
eternity. Then let US fold the drapery of
the couch about his memory, treasuring
the recollection of his noble qualities
and manly virtues. and laying them rev.
erently and affectionately away, where
immortelles and sweet forget-me-nots
will bloom around them.
Earth, let thy soft mantle rest
On this worn child to thee returning,
Whose youth was nurtured on thy
breast,
Who loved thee With such tender yearn-

GOV. SMITHS CUBAN VENTURE

Rocky Mountain Husbandman Ex-
Governor Smith is not only establishing
an apple orchard on the shore OF Fiat
head lake but is also going to have an
orange grove in Cuba. He is member
of an American colony which has bought
land in Cuba and is clearing the same
for planting. The ex-governor has fifteen
acres Of Cuban lands and will add five
acres more which he proposes to plant to
orange trees. The cuban forest is very
dense but is principally underground.
This is cut and fallen all one way and
when it becomes dry is burned. The
burning kills the stumps so that they do
not sprout but rot. Inc orange trees are
planted as soon as the burning is done
and in four or five years, the stumps hay
ing loosened, the plow is introduced; but
in the meantime vegetation must be kept
down. The native plan is to chop it down
with the machette. a blade something
like the old fashioned corn knife.

THE AMERICAN MULE,

Some of the democratic papers are
once more citing, as an evidence of this
governments unfriendliness to the Boer
cause. that a large number of horses
and mules have been bought in the
United States by representatives of
England and shipped to South Africa for
use in the British army. 1t is true that
such purchases and shipments have been
made. but what of it? There was not,
in these transactions the least viola
ton of article of the treaty of 1871,
with England which is referred to by
the democratic press. The article is as
follows:
A neutral government is bound not to
permit or suffer either belligrent to
make use Of it's ports or waters as the
base of naval operations against the
or augmentation of military supplies or
arms or the recruitment of men.
Is it claimed that a merchant steamer
conveying mules constitutes a naval ex-
petition? If not, then how can it be
said that the United States have per-
mitted our ports to be made the base
of naval operations against the Trans
vaal or any other government?
It has been pointed out that the Ameri.
can mule, which Is made to figure sc
conspicuously in this matter, lis not
raised for decorative purposes, nor fol
his lovely voice." The fact is. of course
that had the Boer government sent it.

A rrATCHLESS TICKET.

In making up their ticket on Satur
day. the republicans of Butte displayed
excellent judgment. Some of the con-
tests We're spirited, but after the con-
vention was over the best of feeling
prevailed, and the republicans are lined
up solidy behind their candidates.
The selection of Judge ]. c. Sullivan
for mayor was most happy one. The
Judge is an d-time resident who has
seen Butte grow up and helped in the
building. For many years he was en-
gneer for the big mining companies,
and has always enjoyed the entire con-
fidence of all who knew him, and that
acquaintance has been gradually ex-
tended until today it includes the whole
city. He is essentially a practical man,
and when, two years ago, he was elect
ed police magistrate, much was eX-
pected of him. During his term of
office he has magnified his calling. He
made himself a veritabe terror to evil
doors and yet exercised the finest dis
elimination in dealing with the difficult
problems presented to him from day to
day.
Judge Sullivan has been tried many
times and never found wanting, and
when elected mayor, it will be his
highest ambition to give the city such
an administration as will make for
progress, for happiness and the prosper
ity of all. Every interest confided to
him will be safe, and the conditions
here will cease to be reproach to
decency.
Mr.. B. E. Calkins, who is nominated
to succeed himself as treasurer, has
long been a successful business man
here and in his administration of the
Office he has displayed the same zeal
and care that he devotes to his own
affairs. Mr.. Calkins is tower OF
strength to the ticket.
r. F. Turner, the candidate for po-
lice judge, has also been tried and moi
found wanting. His record during his
former incumbency of the Office t.
which he has again been nominated is
sufficient guarantee that he will faith.
fully discharge it's duties.
The candidates for aldermen repre-
sent the choice of the districts they
come from. All are old residents of tn,

might be said of them individually, ant
all to their credit but at this time it il
only necessary to say that col.ectivel,
they stand for an honest administra
ton and for the enforcement of tn,
laws.
Altogether it is a matchless tickle
that the republicans have put in tn
field.

maintenance, and even a raising of the
standards Of admission to the bar.
The proposed letting down the bars"
would therefore be Injurious to the pro-
fession itself and to it's clients. 1t would
also be grossly unjust to the various law
schools at our great universities and
elsewhere. These institutions under legal
charters. have gone to much expense
and labor for the education of their stu
dents up to a certain standard, which
we may say is high, honorable ana
worthy standard, but not bit too high.
1t would be altogether unfair to say to
would-be lawyers that there is no need
of their going to these schools or of their
pursuing elsewhere an equivalent course
of study, since there is short cut, a
side door, by means of which easier
access to the bar may be had. There
would then be no encouragement to the
schools to vie with each other, as they
have done. in elevating their standards
of scholarship, but rather a provocaton.
and indeed compulsion, to compete In
making their courses as short and cheap
and their scholarship as low as might
be compatible with squeezing into the
profession through the side door of
favoritism or special legislation.
1t should not be necessary to urge
further the shame it would be to the
state to impair it's standard of legal
ability in an age when the otherwise
universal tendency is toward raising
Of all the standards, and at the very
time when the whole world is celebrat-
ing the vast advance which was made
in the last century and is looking for
ward with glowing anticipations to the
progress which will be made in the GEN.
fury which has just begun. The TWEEN
teth century is too late date for any
lowering of standards, and debasing or
professional currency, especially in the
foremost state of the foremost nation or
the world. 1t is not a necessity for any
man to be admitted to the bar; there
are other callings open to him not hedgeo
about with barriers of rigorous examina-
tons. What is a necessity for the well
fare of the profession and Of the people
it serves is that every one who Is all
mitted to the bar shall measure fully
up to the high standard which has bean
established and which our courts and
law schools are faithfully striving to
maintain.-New York Tribune.

The supreme court of the United

Alexander Hamilton, while secretary
of the treasury wrote:

If he keeps on in his present course, it
will not be long before Mr.. Bryan places
the dollar before the man, as witness this
paragraph from the New York Sun:
The admirers of Col. Bryan are forced
to see with sorrow his growing subjec-
ton to Mammon. Asked to take the
stump for the Hon. Carter Harrison of
Chicago, the Colonel refused. His bust
ness interests and editorial duties were
so arduous he could not possibly assist"
Thus does he admit his slavery to bust
ness, his base commercialism. Let the
liberty bell be tolled thirteen times.

lor counting out the money. For all he
cares, Ahab may get the vineyard and
the young man Absalom go over the hill

NO LOWERING OF STANDARDS.

In remote antiquity anathemas were
pronounced against falsifiers of stand
ards, whether of measure or weight or
value. All down the ages the debase-
ment Of coin, the giving of light weight
or short measure and all misrepresenta-
tions Of quantity and quality have been
regarded as odious. The last two ma
tional campaigns in this country have
been conducted chiefly ON the issue Of
maintaining an honest standard of cur
rency. Nor is the principle less valid in
intellectual than in material affairs
The school or college which graduates
students and graduates students and
confers degrees on the completion of a
too scant curriculum is regarded with
disfavor.' The concern which sells
diplomas without requiring any real
study is legally dealt with as criminal.
The wholesome rule everywhere Is that
established standards must be MAIN
tanned. ~
1t would be most pernicious, then, to
set the example of lowering the stand
ard, either generally or in specially
favored cases, in respect to the legal
profession. whose province it is largely
to safeguard and to maintain all stand
dTOS. lie pTeceUeut UuuS SET WOulU De
mischievous. For if special legislation
may make a short cut to the bar, why
not to other professions? Why not let
down the barriers which surround the
teachers desk and admit men and wo-
men thereto without the examinations
which are now required? Why not de-
cree that any one who has been in the
employment of a physician for three
years may be licensed, without exam
ination or degree, to practice medicie
We have no idea that the advocates of
the pending proposals for easier admis-
sion to the bar would urge such action
in these other cases. but their refusal
to do so would not be logical, Nor are
we sure that such lowering Of medical
and pedagogical standards would result
much. if at all, more disastrously than a
lowering Of the legal standard. The two
complaints oftenest heard of the legal
profession-and they are heard of en-
tirely too often-are that it is over
crowded and that it contains too many
men who are either incompetent or UNI
scrupuous. Surely the remedy for such
evils is not in lowerig, but rather in

A CLEAN CAM Align.

The Miner calls for "a clean cam
paign" and the Inter Mountain seconds
it. There is no occasion for indulging
in personalities during the coming fight,
nor is anything to be gained by it. We
believe that the record made by the
present democratic administration, with
out reference to the individuals compos-
ing it, is all that is necessary to win
complete republican victory.
The present democratic administra-
ton doubtless represents the party, and
from that party nothing better than
what we have endured for two years
is to be expected. The people under
stand that to vote it into power again
would be to indorse the policy that has
disgraced the city. That is sufficient
issue. The coming election calls for the
reputation or Endorsement Of that
policy.

THE DEMOCRATIC CITY ADMINS

dates and the issue will then be joined
| so that by the end of the week the NUM-
| cipal campaign will be we'll under way.
! 1t will be a short one, but plenty long
enough for all purposes. The fact is, the
present democratic administration has
been making capital against itself for
! two years. The people have taken notice
of it's Incompetence. They know the
| democratic policy has not inaugurated
! one sincere move to advance the public
| welfare. or to advance public morals.
They know perfectly we'll that where
the democratic policy has not been alb
| soutely negative it has been against
progress or Improvement on any line.
They know that the only bright spots in
the administration have been the efforts
of those republicans in it, who have con-
ter order of things.
The people know perfectly well that
the filthy condition of all the thorough
fares in the city is the result of indif-
ference and the utter lack of civic pride
on the part of the democratic admins
tration.
They know that the reign of crime that
is going on here is due to the incom-
petence of the police department, which,
under the present administration has
become, as the republican platform
truthfully says, g mere political machine
of that administration.
They know that the stupid, bungling
manner in which many of the men,
bers of the police force discharge their
duties, or pretend to discharge them,
has practically nullified the efforts of
the intelligent officers to make that de-
| being what it is.
The people have witnessed the opera
| ton of the wide OPEN policy of the
democratic administration which has
made the city gathering place for
thugs, thieves and hold-ups and a para
disc for gamblers and card sharps. They
are we'll aware, because no attempt at
concealment was made, that half a dozen
gambling resorts, all within radius of
hundred feet of the mayors office, We're
in. full operation, while many other gam
bling halls flourished in all parts of the
city, until recently closed down during
the campaign" They know that this
policy has been persistently adhered to
in the face of the charges repeatedly
made in open council by Councilman
Evans and others on the republican side.
The people know that these evils have
been permitted to eXist-not to use a
stronger term-without even the weak
| excuse of yielding revenue to the city,
The republicans demand a reversal Of
this policy. They pledge themselves to
| give Butte a clean, honest and business
like administration. They pledge them
selves to clean up the city streets, to re.
organize the police department and make
| it efficient; to require from every official
a strict devotion to the duties of his
position; to bring about the supremacy
| of law and order and to advance the
city upon all these lines so that the peo-
pie may feel just pride in it.
The democracy has had it's opportunity
whatever high sounding promises may
be made will be meaningless. 1t has lost
the confidence of the people and for its
omissions alone merits the rebuke that
feat.
