carry on their miserable campaign of
innuendo and calumny in the dishonest
hope that they can fasten the odium and
responsibility for any such majority on
the Democratic administration and party
in this community
Surprising that there is such a cor
rupt majority, and that through its
manipulations. as the Pioneer Press
claims, the people of the city were de-
prived Of the benefit Of the low rates for
asphalt paving which prevailed for a
time, what did Mayor Smith have to do
with it? The executive and legislative
departments of the city government are
coordinate.
1t would have been the greatest VIOLA
ton of all the decencies of official life
had the mayor assumed, as they assume,
the corrupt purposes of those whose
votes went to pass that guarantee reso-
luton, and had acted officially on that
assumption. He did not He is too
broad-minded and just a character to be
guilty of such scurvy and blackguard
trick. He exercised his Judgment, signed
the resolution which provided for the
guarantee, and the city has since had,
what it never had before, protection
against the carelessness or dishonesty of
paving contractors. Had Republican city
officials enforced that requirement, as it
should have been enforced, the people
would have been benefited to an extent
double that which they are now receiving
in the execution of their paving con-
tracts. All the officials, from the members
of the corporation attorneys office who
gave the opinion, to the members of the
board of public works who refused to
put it in operation, are Republican parti-
san politicians, and have laid themselves
open TO the lmputauon or corruption
quite as clearly as the Pioneer and AS
sembIyman Wheeler say the members
who voted for it have done.
Desperate cases require desperate rem
edies. To what desperate lengths the
Republican politicians (the cat'spaw of
certain of whom the Pioneer Press has
been made throughout these transac-
tions) are driven in their efforts to re-
lily be judged by the campaign Of false
representation and yelled SANDER repre-
scented by this man Wheeler's assault on

New Wireless Sea Record
The Umbria and Etruria talked with
each other by wireless biography for
four hours on Wednesday. The operator
on the Umbrta caught the Etruria's call
at 11:40 a. M, the longitude being then
about 80. The two ships exchanged mes
sages till $40 p. m. The minimum dis
lance that separated the two vessels was
thtrty-two miles. The final message was
transmitted over 10 nautical miles. The
best previous record for these two ships
has been 106 nautical miles.
Losing Our Philippine Trade
A. Burlingame Johnson, United States
consul at Annoy, China, who is passing
through New York on his way to Wash
ington, and who has been quoted in ia
vor of admitting Chinese labor to the
Philippines, strongly advocates some ac-
tion by congress which will make it
easier to invest American capital in the
islands. He says the Spooner bill is in
furious to their development, and plays
into the hands of European monopolies.
Mr.. Johnson has made a. c&nGiT cf the
Philippines at close range, and as IS per
cent of the Chinese there came from
Annoy, he has, he says, got first hand in
formation.
cit is an actual fact that instead of
gaining, Americans are losing ground in
the trade contest. Other nations increas-
ed their import trade in 1901 over 1860
more than did the United States; and
American export trade actually fell off q

For its current monthly exhibition. the

grouped forty canvases by Ralph A.

of Frederick S. Gibbs.
Although this group of pictures Is not
as fine as those owned by Mr.. Hearn,
shown in the Lotos club last winter, they
are sufficiently strong to leave a distinct

is the well-remembered ''Pipe Dream,
with its procession of Indians dancing
along the beach CT a forest-framed body
of water. Two other Indian pictures are
that of seated figure of an Indian girl,

The destruction Of the Peoples church
will cause universal regret among the
people of st. Paul. The church has been
one of the cherished institutions of the
community and its influence on the mu-
nicipal life has been of the best in everv
direction which worked toward the spirit
ual, intellectual and aesthetic elevation of
the people,
In its civil relation toward the people
the church as an edifce has furnished
the only medium available to the people
for public assemblage which in any rea-
sonable degree met the public REQUIRE
ments. Indeed, it was the only structure
toward which the public could turn when
facilities were required to bring the peo
pie together in security and comfort in
the accomplishment of any valuable pur
pose.
The business sagacity which provided
that the Peoples church might be avail.
able for public gatherings for the fulfill
ment Of artistic social or political ends
needs not he commented on. Experience
has amply shown the wisdom of the dedi-
cation of the building, which now IN
happily has been lost, to general nDb1;o
as well as religious uses. With its disap-
peararce there is not in the entire city a
single public building to which the peo-
pie can turn for purposes OF public as
semblage.
we are thus once more brought face to
face with the problem of a public audi
forum. The Metropolitan theater is to
all intents private building. 1t is oc-
cupied with regularity for the profession
al uses Of its lessees, and cannot be de-
pended on save on exceptional occasions

dismissed as at once an unsightly. nm

there anything we can do? There ass1,r-

enormous cost-the county jail-and an
ply it to the purposes of a public audi

be made to pay an income on the money

do. But it would pay this city if, at this
time disregarding all the warnings which
the standstIl element among our re-
formers takes pleasure in expressing, we
would at the city's expense engage in the
purchase of site and the erection of a
public auditorium building for library
and auditorium purposes. We have had
rehashed in every available form the OBJ

There are things doing at the armory OF
the Creme de Mcnthe brigade. While the
powers have been getting busy down i'll
Venezuela the Butte volunteers have not
been idle. Morning, noon and night their
rendezvous is a scene OF nervous activity.
The man who is having the hardest time
of it is the recruiting officer and drill ser
geant. 1t is his duty to enlist all those
who present themselves for enrolment and
are considered worthy to fight for the
glorious cause. There have been so many
applicants that the sergeant declares he
has not had time to sleep for two days.
The patriotic spirit seems to be infectious
and up in Dublin Gulch they have organ
lied rival volunteer corps. General
Gilligan is not disturbed on that score,
however. Being the first in the field he
feels assured that his regiment will al
ways be known as the" regiment that
fought the battles of the struggling repub-
lie.
The drill sergeant states that he is well
satisfied with the showing his men are
making after such hasty preparations. AS
yet the brigade Is possessed of but one rifle
and is working under handicap in the
manual. Lieutenant Alley, with his usual
perspicuity, rose to the occasion with a
brilliant suggestion--why not use the
Creme de Menthe straws7

Tom Fitzgbbons will file claim against
the city of Butte tonight at the meeting
of the city council for $4,000 damages,
alleged to have been sustained by him for
personal injuries. Fitzgibbons sets forth
ir his claim that owing to an accumulation
of ice and snow on the sidewalk near the
corner of Main and Galena streets, he suf-
fered severe tumble which permanently
injured his knee. The accident happened
January IS, 1902.
He AYERS that he was exercising due
care and diligence in walking on the side
walk and that the accident was in no wise
caused by any act of his. He believes that
$4,000 would recompcnse him for the i'll
juries received.
Alderman Michael Ryan will introduce

installment of two sets of scales, and crea-
ting the Offices of two city weishers. All
coal, hay or grain dealers, who sell to the
public, must have their loads weighed by
the official weighers before delivery and
receive checks for the same from them
The ordinance further provides that the
salary of each weigher shall be $1,000 a
year, and that they shall file bonds with
the city clerk in the sum Of $2,5oo each as
guarantee of the faithful performance Of
their duties.

ment has been made with lae commssary
general whereby one cent is deducted for

Another difficulty that has confronted
the drill sergeant is the total ignorance OF
some of the superior officers in regard to
what is necessary to a military appear
ance. The general commanding absolutely
refuses to turn his toes and defcs the ser-
geant to force him to do SO. Obviously the
sergeant is placed in very embarrassing
position. II he insists upon correcting tho
physical peculiarities of his superior Off

even sumarily dismissed from the vol

that the commander-in-ch will continue

geant is confident that he will be able to
