PARTY LINES BROKEN
Fhe growing realization of the import
ance of local government and the desir
ability of keeping national questions out of
purely local contests is a sign of better
citizenship. Corrupt officials and city
grafters are finding it more and more ditli
cult to secure themselves against exposure
and defeat hchind party organization. '11Th
voters have learned that they owe ito
devotion to party principles which re
quires them to support mlunicipal candi
dates who have no thought for party
policies excepting in campaign periods
and no oflicial relation to them at any
time.
Int Indianapolis a republican mayor has
been defeated with republican votes, and
despite democratic support, by a fusion
candidate. It was urged in his behalf that
the retirement of a republican from the
office at this time would have a bad effect
upon the party interests in the presidential
campaign itl Indiana next year. It was
answered that his adminititltion had been
bad, and the specifications indicated that
it was very similar to that now in power
in the city of Ilutte itl lack of respect to
tile laws which it should have enforced. It
was retired from power, and the talk about
tihe effect of the election inll next year's
campaign ended before the votes were
coulted, if one may credit the Indianapolis
papers with reflecting the public opinion
anid sentiment.
The contest now on in New York city
affords another and still better example.
There fusion reached the extreme in the
Indorsement by Taniuany of the majority
of the candidates nominated by a fusion
organization gathered togethcer for the
sole purpose of defeating 'l'amn:any. 'he
politiciant will deserve to lie hooted at by
school children aho will undertake to
convince intelligent citizens that party
strength next year will ibe indic:ated by the
vote in the mayoralty campaign.
The theory that Iarty allegiance requires
support of unworthy city olticcrc who
have no reconmmnedation to public con
fidence exccptini a party label has en
dured too long. Parties exist to establish
certain principles attd to give force and
effect to policies of government consistent
with such lrinciples. It is no part of their
proper purpose to control or direct the ad
ministration of purely local aifairs having
no relation to either the principles or put.
icies of general government, ulucht less to
shield incompetent men or corrupt rings
that tmay be employed to di:crt public at
thority or public means to private ends.
HOW TO GET A DEPOT
W;th something more than a s't:picion
.lhat the grounds have ween selected and
the plans drawn for a new railway depot
in Butte, the Inter Mountain yet believes
it timely to offer a suggestion or two on
the subject.
There is no difference of opinion re
specting the character of the present depot
accommodations of the trunk lines enter
log Butte. llhcy are inadequate, danger
ous, filthy-a disgrace alike to the cor
porations which maintain themt and to the
city which tolerates them. Representa
tive citizens long ago realized these con
ditions and endeavored to secure a change.
Representative railway officials recognized
the facts and promised relief. For one
cause or another, whether extortionate
valuations of property desired for a site
or neglect by thIe railway people is not
of immediate importance, the work has
been repeatedly and long delayed, Some
citizens have blee, angered and others
merely disgusted. Meanwhile the news
papers have written and rewritten and
argued and ridiculed until the most ver
satile writers almost have exhausted their
resource of vocabulary as well as of fact.
And nothing doing.
A new committee has been appointed
by the Business Men's association and
has engaged in t he task of reviving public
interest to tile point of action, As a
matter of course the newspapers are ready
to assist as they may, and as a matter
of interest as well as duty every citizen
is in favor of the project, regardless of
race, color, business, politics, religion, or
even cases in court. There is no division
of sentiment. There should be no diffi
culty of a serious kind in the way of
united action,
There must be definite information
regarding the immediate purpose of the
companies and a definite plan of action for
the people of Butte if definite results are
to come. Let its have these, and then
let there be no halting, no diversion, and
no division. There is no occasion for
threats, and mighty little force in them.
It is to the interest of the companies as
well as to the city to make this Improve
ment, and it can be made snore so. If
Mr. James J. Hill is the man to be con
vinced, readh ihim. If ssnUa other high
official of the corporations, search him out.
And show him as if he had just arrived
from Missouri.
If a jolly will not do, try a jolt.
Get together. Get busy. Get a depot.
FARMS FOR MINERS
W'itd. due allowance for the bias of
selfish interest with which real estate
agents lmust be credited, it is good advice
they offer wage earners in recommnending
the investment of savings in agricultural
lands in Montana, For the simple reason
that greater results may be obtained with
less effort and explenditure in that way,
it would be still better for the employes
in mines and workshops to take advantage
of the olpportunities afforded by tilhe gov
ernment for obtaining title to a tract of
public land in sonme desirable locality.
There are very few men working in the
mninig towns of the state *who could not
secure ownership of a quarter section of
land in this state within a period of five
years, and without imposing any hardship
whatever iupon themselves or those who
are dependent upon them. Such owner
ship represents the difference between the
homle-ownler and the holmeless, between
possible want and complete independpendence.
The majority of miners will not become
farmers. Nor is it true that anybody can
become a successful farmer who will en
gage in the business and work hard. In
recent years the application of scientific
methods and experience have been denm
onstrated to be quite as necessary to the
successful pursuit of agriculture as to any
other occupation in competitive business.
The imtiner or mechanic can learn the
business just as the acquired knowledge
of the trade which he follows, or as the
farmer may learn mining, and in certain
branches of the business it may be done
in ashort time and with early profits.
But lie can know without study or experi
iment, if he is capable of ordinary com
prehension, that good land at a reasonable
price is an absolutely safe investment.
anid that nothing in the business world is
mlore certain than the rapid advance in
values of the undeveloped soil of this
western country. It is a ready resource
in time of adversity. It is an assurance
against the woes of poverty at all times.
The Iossession of it will Ilake every wage
earner. with or withotit a family, a halppier
citizen and consequently a better citizen.
Looking at it another way, there is a
bare possibility that Mr. James J. Hlill
has heard of the apathy of the Ibusiness
men of Butte in tile work of favoring a
new depot. and fears that hasty and rad
ical action by the railway company muight
be offensive.
Between Cupid's calls, court summons
and presidential proclamations, life must
begin to look like one colntinuous extraor
dinary session to Senator Platt.
The reform candidate for mayor was
elected in Indianapolis last week on Tues
day, and on Friday the reform editors
were warning him against the mistakes of
administration which it is anticipated he
tmay mtake after being inaugurated.
Thle only great rombhination of wealth
which is expected to be opposed to, Judge
Parker's candidacy for the presidency is
the ice trust.
If each member of the Business Men's
association would send a telegram to Mr.
Ilill on the subject of a new depot, he
would soon realize that the business is of
the urgent deficiency variety.
There is every indication that the ex
traordinary session of congress will be a
very ordinary alTair.
Russia's Iand of friendship is undoubt
edly as good as her word.
VWhatevcr may be done with the case
against the dynamite suspect at lHelena, it
is evident that the railway detectives have
a cinch on the roan horse which he rode.
'1 he lion. Tom Johison has beetn visit
ing Wall street, but it is not wholly clear
whether he went to hunt the octopus or
to fix up his margin account.
W\hen it comes to finding relief from an
attack of Carrie Nation, we notice that
Dr. Dowie prefers superior physical force
to a trust in prayer.
What a leader of men Senator Platt
would have made in the old days in Utah t
Mr. Gorman as an instructor in civil

Reports from England show that the

RIGHTS OF THE AVERAGE MAN
A Matter Little Regarded by Capitalists
and Labor Unfons.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean,]
The statement is made on good authority
that ,r5o00,oo persons in Chicago live in
flat buildings and hotels. The number
Io years ago was about 5oo,ooo.
As to the effects of this change there
are various opinions. As to the cause oi
it, however, there is but one opinion
worth considering. It was tersely stated
by one woman who approves of flats: "It
is cheaper to live in a flat than in a
house." And that is the truth. The aver
nag man has been driven to become a
flat-dweller in Chicago and elsewhere for
no other reason than that, under the pe
culiar conditions that our abundant pros
perity has produced, the average man
cannot afford to live in a house.
The average man is neither a capitalist
nor a member of a labor union, His hus.
ness or profession is such that he and
his fellows cannot form a trust to reduP
expenses and increase incomes-neither a
capitalistic trust nor a labor trust. But
lie is the man out of whom, in the long
run, the trust takes its larger profits and
the labor union its higher wages.
The average man would prefer as a rule
to live in a house with a piece of land
under the executive control of himself
and family. Ilut along comes the coal
trust, for instance. and makes it harder
for him to keep warm, and along comes
the labor union, for instance, anl raises
the price of every service for which he
has to pay. ThuI . ground between the
upplller ands nether millstones, the average
man has but one way of escape. That
is to join with othiler average menli il an
eapartmelnt house, that )by thus getting to
gether they may divide the necessary ex
penises of mnHantaining homes-expenses
which has become too heavy to lie borne
individually.
The average man, as a rule, does not
like this way of life. It constrains his
personal freedom and it makes more diffi
cult the rearing of his children. But he
feels, as a rule, that his only choice is
to live in that manner or not at all.
The most curious part of this situatin ,
is that these average men are the ma
jority of the American people. There are tr
about 3o,ton,ono persons engaged in gait.
ful occupations. Of these to,5oo,ooo are
in agriculture. Not more than 3.oon,noo
belong to labor unions. Of capitalists,
great and small, there are inot at the very 1i
utmost more than ,;oo.noo. All the rest t
are the average men, at whose expense '
the gains of the trust and the labor union fi
are made.
There is an incessant clamor of discus- k
sion over the "rights" of capital and the a
"rights" of organized labor. There are
reams of legislating to secure these I
rights, and the courts are always at work
defining them.
But how about the rights of the aver.
age man? Nobody in particular seems t ti
think about them, agitate for them or
legislate for them. And yet the average a
men are the majority of the public, and,
while capital and organized lahor prosper,
they are finding life even harder.
In view of the facts, the great task of, '
this nation is evidently to secure and in
crease tile welfare of the average man, a
without whom trusts would have little
to exploit and labor unions little to dr
ganize for, and both practically nothing p
worth fighting for.
Butte Landmark That Can Be Spared.
[D)illon Examiner.]
Th'llere again seems to be a well grounded
hope that Ilutte will get that much needed
union depot. If there is a town in the Rocky
Mlountains that needs a new depot worse than
Itulte it should cone forward and state its c
claims. For years travelers to and from Ilntte
have been compelled to use an obsolete, ram
shackle makeshift of a depot w.Ven is hardly
suitable for a Ilag station, and Ilutte is the
largest and most impolrtant city in the state.
We hope Butte peoptle will not be di.sappointed
this time, but will get the new depot and as
quickly as possible.

,ENSIGN EPPS, THE COLOR-BEARER
lEnsigni Epps, at the battle of Flanders,
Sot ed a seed of glory and duty,
That flowers and tflames in height and

T.ike a crimson lily with hearts of gold,
Today, when the wars of Ghent are old,
And buried as deep as their dead commanders.
Ensign Epps was the color-bearer
No matter on which side, Philip or Earl;
Their cause was the shell--his deed was tile
pearl,
Scarce more than a lad, lie had been a sharer
That day in the wildest work in the tield.
lie was wounded and spent, and the fight W.M
lost:
HIls comrades were slain, or a scattered htoa
r Bt stainless and scathless, out of the strife.
IlHe had carried his colors safer than life.
By the river's brink, without weapon or
shield,
8 Tie faced the victors. The thick heartnmilst
Ile dashed from his eyes, and the silk hb'
kissed
Ere he held it aloft in the setting sun
As proudly as if the fight were won;
And he smiled when they ordered him toW
yield.
Ensign Epps, with his broken blade,
g Cut the silk from the gilded staff,
r Which hIe poised like a spear till the cllalge.,
was made, u. t
And hurled at the leader with a laugh,.
n Then round his breast, like the scarf of
love,
He tied the colors his heart above,
And plunged in his armor into the tide,
A. And there, in his dress of honor, died.
0 Where are the lessons your kinglings teach?
o And what is the text of your proud com.

Out of the centuries, heroes reach
With the scroll of a deed, with tile word of a

Of one man's truth and all men's glory,.

EXCITEMENT IN CHICAGO
Fuss Incidental to the Death of One Cat
in a Great City.
[Chicago Tribune.]
In life Thomas was as harmless as cir- d
cumstances and nature will permit a
down-town alley cat to be. But after he f
was sweet and peaceful in death it was
fearful and wonderful the things he found
ability to do.
He passed away yesterday afternoon in
a" manner unknown. The things he did
hpfore his death are immaterial. What
hlie did after that calamity was to tie
three city departments up in a hard knot I
of red tape.
Bult in dying Thomas managed to point
a moral, and whether lie adorned any
thing or not was immaterial.
lie was discovered yesterday afternoon
calnm and serene in his last repose in
front of 248 East Randolph street. The 1
merchants who found hint were not re
joiced.
It happened that a city street cleaning
gang was working in Randolph street in
that particular block and at that par
ticular moment.. The men gathered up all
the dirt around Thomas withl great care,
but had sufficient respect for hiin not to
disturb his last rest.
"Hey," exclaimed the merchants; rush
ing from their respective stores. "Don't
forget the cat."
"The cat?" cried the laborer in horror.
"Do you take us for scavengers?"
'Then the merchants in indignaiton has
cened to telephones and began to prod dif
ferent departments of the city hall.
"That's the duty of the health depart
ment," said Superintendent Doherty of the
street bureau.
"He didn't die of a contagious disease,"
'aid the merchants. "\Where does the
health department butt in?"
"It's a matter of etiquette," said the su
perintendent. "The health department has
charge of such cases."
The merchants called up Commissioner
Iloeki and informed him of Thomas' de
mnise.
"Report all deaths to the bureau of vital
statistics," said the commissioner. "Have
the physician send in a statement. It's
the health department you want."
"We don't give a whoop about vital sta
tistics," shouted three merchants in the
telephone all at once. "We want that cat
removed."
Then the merchants called up Secretary
Pritchard.
"Shucks," said the secretary. "Now, If
it was only a dog or a horse it would be
difl'erent. Are you sure it's a cat? That's
awkward. We can't brinlg a scavenger
wagon downtown for one cat. Make it a
horse. Can't you get a private scaven
ger ?"
The merchants said they couldn't. The
matter remained at a deadlock until Pritch
ard suddenly telephoned the "dead animal
man" out at Thirty-fifth street and Went
worth avenue, who made a four-mile trip
downtown and a four-mile trip back, and
ThIomas was removed.
Competition,
[Washington Star.1
"This commercial struggle is terrible,"
said the man who takes everything he
reads seriously.
"What's the trouble?"
"The patent food people are trying to
mtake everybody so healthy that there will
he. no one left for the patent asedicine
peddler to cure."
PEOPLE WE MEET
John K. Castner, one of the old timers
of Cascade county, Is renewing Butte ac
quaintances. Mr. Castner lives at Belt
and once owned a large part of the exten
sive coal mine there, now owned and
operated by the Anaconda Copper Mining
company. Mfr. Castner. also once owned
nearly all of the townsite of Belt.
He is best known, however, and will
be best remembered as having run at Belt
for years, when the place was only a stage
station, an eating house that was popular
among travelers. In the old days, before
the Neihart branch of the 'Montana Cen
tral was built, passing Belt Castner's hotel
did a rushing business with travelers on
the staves running to Fergus county and
to Neihart and Barker.
As the four or six horse stage rolled
into Belt there was scurrying around in
the Castner hotel to provide plates and
food sufficient for the passengers. In
about half an hour the bell, or rather
'the triangle, sounded and everybody filed
into the dining room. All were seated
at a long table and the food was served
steaming hot from large plates. It was
one of the most home like meals to be
had in a public eating house and no one
ever went away from Castner's kicking.
Even that perennial kicker, the drum
mer, forgot his troubles and admitted that
Mrs. Castner's chicken, her mealy pota
toes, her succulent corn as well as her
fine pie and coffee could not be beaten.
The development of the coal mines and
the growth of Belt have somewhat robbed
Castner's of its old time glory, but the
place still stands and still feeds many
people every day.

AMONG THE PLAYERS
"A Friend of the Family."
The initial appearance here tonlight of
the intensely armusing farcical comedy,
"A Friend of the Family," is very eagerly
awaited by all lovers of this style of en
tertainment. Although the play is un
known to the theater goers of this town,
it comes to us highly recommended, and
as George W. Barnum and Alice John
son, who are the principal fun makers,
are both Broadway favorites, there will
undoubtedly be packed houses present.
The gowns worn by Miss Alice Johnson
and the other members of the gentler
sex in the production are said to be rev
elations of the dressmaker's art and to
be the admiration and envy of every lady
present. Undoubtedly that is the reason
that this play has been so enthusiastically
received by a majority of the ladies in
every city, especially as the comedy, al-.
though excruciatingly funny, is free from
any suggestion of buffoonery or vulgarity.
"Sis Hopkins."
The comedy part of "Obadiah," the un
dertaker's assistant in "Sis Hopkins," who
spends his time mentally measuring the
ailing of the village for prospective cof
fins, is played this season by Mr. William
Mason, one of the most natural comedians
on the stage today. Mr. Mason has a lot
of new epitaphs for his victims, pros
pective and actual, and the recital of these
little literary tokens to the departed is
one of the hits of the play, which is
now on its fourth tour.
,Manager Stone Resigns.
Associate Manager Stone of the Grand
opera house has resigned and will leave
tomorrow for San Francisco. Later, Mr.
Stone expects to leave with his wife for
Honolulu, where he owns. an interest in
a theater. Associate Manager Maras of
the Grand will assume Manager Stone's
duties.
