Testing a disposition to "hy the COOP"
The Inter Mountain confesses to a lack
of definite information on the subject
which so disturbs Bostons copper spec
ulators, but it betrays no confidence In
stating that the indications and the logic
of the situation both portend some sort
of an amicable arrangement at an early
day. The nature of the terms has not
yet been diyulged, but they will doubt
less be satisfactory to all parties, If any
are made or accepted. The refusal of all
interested parties to discuss the subject
gives color to the report of negotiations
though 1T is by no means conclusive rs
to peace probabilities. Possibly the
present lull simply presages increase of
violence Of future litigation, yet if the
limitations of confidential men count
for anything and the lugubrious despair
of once eXpectant politicians have q
solid basis, there is hope of the early
restoration of the era Of brotheny love

now IT HURTS BUTTE.

One OF the Boston copper papers Is In
duging I'm ghoulsh glee because of the
alleged fact that The enemies of the
Amalgamated company have not only
caused heavy losses to it's stockholders,
but have actually forced the price OF
copper down to II cents despite the
efforts of that company to maintain the
price at 16 cents.
Truly that is noble exultatlon. To
reduce the profits of a legitimate In
dustry, lessen its power to employ labor
at good wages, ruin the business of the
small copper producer andadest troy ths
value of every copper prospect which
miners and business men have hope
would some time make them independ-
ent-truy 1t Is noble ambition. AS 10
the methods by which legitimate copper
SITS have been attacked ana which
sooner or later will be exposed so that
all the people will know the truth and
fix the responsibility, little is said in the
Boston organs which are now Growing
over the hard blow they think they have
struck Butte and its business and labor
interests. 1t is enough for them 20 point
to the l1-cent copper market with the
exultant claim that they did 1t! Per-
haps they didn't but If they did. how
long will 1t be before the people win
do some thinking to discover, IL possible,
how copper can be smashed without
smashing every man who makes his
living in a copper camp? Already il is
apparent to them that high price for
copper and the security of legitimate
copper investment mean prosperity for
all the people as well as all the copper
producers, and that the worst enemies
of both are the men who are fighting the
so-called copper trust. II Is pain now
that had all the producers stood in on
a proportionate curtailment OF produc-
tion, Montana, Arizona and Michigan
would all have been better off.
Perhaps certain of the Boston. papers
are eXultng a little too soon.

visits to Butte. Jointly with the clerk

prominent state official where wit and

occasion memorable. The apprehension
that General Donovan had crossed tha

without foundation. In fact, ID is not
apparent that Mr.. Breen requires any
instruction, or would tolerate any. He
Is doing very well and seems able to
earn his salary with satisfaction to all

Ii Is quite possible that the next turn of

attorney general Mr.. Breen, as a stu

proving every day. and if he does not
make his mark in democratic politics II
viii not be for the lack of either ability
or ambition. The next populist or fusion

for the attorney generalship that will
pale all previous struggles of the kind

possession was his franchise, and though
he was ever an intense partisan as to

suspicion of corruption. For that reason
