on the subject CT Butte's dependence
upon capital for the prosperity it has
enjoyed. They know the reason for
the depression that has resulted from
the recent lack of confidence in courts
and the threats of further judicial out
RACES. To abuse a corporation sim
ply because it is a corporation is not
the act of sensible and broadminded
men. Particularly ia it unwise for
one rich man to abuse ether rich men
for being rich, SO long as the money
of all Is being invested in Industrial
enterprises and scattered among the
people. Yet that is the attitude of the
Miner. Perhaps Senator Clark does
not read his OWE paper, or does not
consider it's utterances worthy Of seri-
GUS attention, for he is a fair man and
is not opposed to, corporations per
Sc; but his paper, in seeking tos stir
up prejudice against II interests Of
a great business enterprise, is also,
u~nconsciously, perhaps, creating preju-
dice against the industrial interests
of Mr.. Clark.

SAME AS HUMAN BEINGS
MIND CURE RESTORES HORSE TO
HEALTH.
Disciple Of Mrs. Eddy's Cult Says An
finals Respond Readily to
Treatment.

New York, SEPT. 14.-Christian Sci
entists in this city read with a great
deal of interest today a report which
came from the west to the effect that
the trotting stallion Lord Vincent,
which is entered in the races .at the
Empire City track next week in the
2:O9 class races, had been restored
to health and put in racing form after
a serious breakdown, through Chris
tan Science treatment.
Lord Vincent is owned by H. w.
Foote of Texas. He has a record Of
2:OSA and two years ago won the
rich Pennsylvania stakes at Lexing-
ton, KY. 1t was after winning this
race that his illness occurred.
b The story is that efforts~of veteri-
narians to remedy the horses trouble
were unavailing and then a woman in
Youngstown, Ohio, tried the treat
ment of mind over matter and restor-
ed him to health. Such a report natur-
ally was received with incredulity
among horsemen, but not by members
of the cult of Mrs. Eddy.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 1.-THE
confederate veterans Of New Orleans
have refused the proffered aid Of Gen
eFel Terrence, commander Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. They
decline with thanks the money to
build a home for INDECENT confederate
soldiers in Alabama. The army of
the Tennessee adopted resolutions
referring to General Torrence's Of
fer in the kindest terms, declaring
that he possesses a noble heart, full
of brotherly love-" but the resolution
says: 1--WE cannot accept even this
generously proffered assistance from
any source save from our own peo-
pie. 1t is the duty of the South, and
the south alone. to provide fer confed-
crate soldiers who may need assist
ance. To permit others to- do that
duty would, in our judgement, be both
u~nbecoming and wrong to the south
ern people.
But let it be well understood that
we are grateful just in the same way
that a mar is grateful to a neighbor
who offers financial assistance when
the angel of death visits his home.
In both cases we must politely but
firmly decline to accept the offer.
There are certain duties which a high
minded people cannot permit others
to perform and this is n Of them"

FIRST SAD ANNIVERSARY.

Yesterday occurred the first ami
versary OF the death of William Nc
Kinley and all yer the nation a sor-
rowing and loving people paid tribute
to his memory and recalled the hours
of hope, anxiety and grief they had
spent while awaiting the final decision
of the men who we're ministering to
him and seeking to prolong a life that
had become so dear to all. Among
those who strewed garlands of words
on his silent grave were many who
during the last few years of his noble
and upright life could not find Ian
guage bitter enough and scandal
strong enough to denounce and be-
smirch him and lower him in the es-
TEEN of those whom he was serving.
They mingled their. crocodile tears
with those that welled from eyes which
spoke the mute language of the soul
and sought condonement for their sins
to the living by speaking unctious
hypocricies of the dead. But they de-
ceived no one. The memory of the
vituperations and the ISLANDERS they
uttered while the ~lifeless clay was
sentient and endowed with the mighty
intellect that God had bestowed upon
him was not effaced by those displays
of. hypocritical sorrow and mock grief.
Better had it been for them had they
maintained silence and permitted
those who really loved and admired
William Mckinley in life to pay re-
spect to him in death.

Christian Science Is the science of

BRlBED N B

1t is only fair to IL that of
the eighteen members of the house
of delegates at st. Louis who are I'M
der indictment for accepting brides
and perjury a goodly proportion will
be convicted and made to suffer for
their ~rascality, for it seems that there
is little if any doubt of their guilt.
They are not entitled to sympathy
and should not receive any, provided
the testimony establishes their guilt.
But how about the ones who did the
bribing? Somehow men of their sort
always escape punishment, notwith-
sanding they are even guiltier than
the miserable creatures bought by
them. OF the two the briber is the
more ~despicable, as all must concede,
for were there 10 givers of brides
therer would be no takers and weak
men would not be tempted into the
commission of that which forever dis
graces them in the sight of their fell
low men. Yet the briber escapes and
in some circles is considered as a
shrewd and successful man Of affairs,
one who "gets there" as the saying
goes.
All this is radically wrong and So
ciety is to blame for it. Were the
same odium to attach to the briber
that attaches to the bribed there
would be less scandal of the sort that
only too often enters into the con-
duct of affairs of municipalities and Of
ten states and sometimes nations.
One needs not go SO very far away
from home to recall instances of the
kind where the bribers have been
loaded with i'll gotten honors, while
the victims of their venality have
been compelled to stink out of public
sight, disgraced and dishonored for

LOSE YET WIN.

Missoula county, whose commits
sioners made such a determined, If
unsuccessful effort to prevent the
higher classification to which the
county advanced because of it's in
creased assessed wealth should be
happy after all. The attorney gen.
erals Office has ruled that because a
county by reason of it's increased as
sessment of property advances to a
higher class it does not fellow that
the commissioners are compelled to
increase. the number of officers to the
maximum provided by law for
ties of that class. The opinion holds
that the commissioners of a county
are vested by law with the power to
determine the number and ccmpensa-
ton of all deputies of all county Of
ficers, being restricted in this regard
only by the maximum limits fixed by
the law. In other words, a board of
commissioners can make the number
of such deputies no greater than the
maximum number prescribed by law,
but it has the power to make 1t as
much smaller as it may deem con-
sistent with the proper discharge Of
the work and duties Of the principals
and may also make their compensa-
ton less than the utmost allowed by
the same law.
AS the only objection which the
commissioners of Missoula county APP
parently had against raising their
county from fifth to third class was
based on the fear that they would
be compelled to increase the number
and compensation of the different dep
uties employed in the county Offices
to the maximum in both instances
prescribed by law, they will now sub
nit with better grace to the orders
of the state board Of equalization
which compelled them to make the
change.

SILLY STORY IN WHICH ROOT
FIGURES.
FOR A CONTINENTAL UNION.
Say Movement Il on Foot to crsate
New United states Of Both
Americas.

Havana, Sept. 14.-El Mundo, the
principal newspaper of the Cuban ma
tionalist or military party headed by
General Gomez, in an editorial leader
gives publicity and great Importance
to a recent communications received
by the president Of Cuba by register
ed mail and under '.%confldential' COW
er from Secretary ct Wa Elihu Root,
and two other representatives Of the
money kings Of the United States.p
On behalf Of the National League
for the promotion of a continental
union these men are alleged to have
invited the Cuban executive to co,
operate with them, with a view to
bringing the island of Cuba into the
union as a state Of the coming great
continental republic. This is to in
clude the Dominion Of Canada, Mex
leo, the several states Of Central and
South America and the West Indian
islands in a singaf political c~onfedera-
ton for the common veal and mutual
defense of the interests of the new.
world as the United States of Amer.
lea.
The circular advises the president
of Cuba to prepare his people for the
principal act Of the play by telling
them in plain words that, in order to
enjoy the benefits Of the United
States market, Cuba must become a
sovereign state Of the union, admitted
upon the petition Of his own insular
congress and people.
President Palma. Ell Mundo states,
is thoroughly indignant, consequently
he has made no attempt, to hold the
subject matter of the circular as "con-
fidential' and has written the distin-
guisfred members of the committees
whose names are appended to the
communication mentioned as follows:
Cuba, as a matter of personal graft
tude, considers it to be her duty to
support the propaganda Of President
Roosevelt to further the interests Of
reciprocity so long as he may require
such demonstration of confidence from.
the people of the new Cuban republic:
he SO much helped to free and put
upon its feet as an Independent ma
ton.
Further than this, the youngest of
all the American republics should be
the last to enter a continental fedora
ton. Cuba will do no more than fol-
low in the wake of her elder sister
and chosen protector in this as in
other matters affecting the commcr
interests of the states of the new
world, provided, in all cases, that the
sovereignty of the island be in no
wise affected, nor it's independence of
action in home affairs in any manner
threatened"
Ell Mundo, in closing it's article upon
the incident, subjects the secretary
of war to scathing criticism for hay
ing Joined with "other trust repre-
sentatives' in sending out the imper-
~ialistic circular mentioned without
having first resigned from the Roose-
welt cabinet.
