The eity is constant sufferer from t. The poplar belief is that they are mmesdinr. The losses lately sustained -se enormous, and the prevaling alarm is se interse that, not longer ago than at Saturday nignt. fatal results would have followed, bt for ample exits, when an alarm of re needlessly started e audience in the Butte opera -bes in a headlong chase for the It has taken the authorities in Butte a .rg time to make choice between rival larm services. The upshot is that the city council has decreed in favor of a system that will be a pure -eperiment in Butte as against a ser vice which has been under test for years and which passed the point long age where its merits were matter of aps.elatioe or question. Butte's aldermen ean fool with an a.rm system not In use in any leading ity In America as long as they want to-that s not the OTAXDAD's affair. We are told that the Gaynor system is put in there on approval. That is a sethod which the Gamewell service dess not need to pursue to capture any aty in the Unitod tates, In view of its log and ea ssful record. The man doss not live in Montana who can tes tiy to the merit of the Gaynor system fem actual experience with its work; sesess of men in the state know just what the Gamewell will do. However, rwe peat, Butte can practice all It weata to-that is not our affair. It's taz-payers buy the plant on trial; they es-tainly abould refuse the system on amy other basis. bat the object of the STANDARD toe eaR attention Just now to the reference made to Anacooda in the discussion of the rival systems. The NTANDAnRD' -wport of the Butt eaounell proceedings a the meeting held Saturday night d Theaemsaid that be bud bra to An se- ad had bees ton byaJo tmTooery, Irr me a s.ebrs% ireem ts (lIamelwen sytem aNe was a Imod. It woudau. work. If this report of the council proceed ings is true, we desire to assert that Mr. Thomes' testimony is false, and we say tls with full understanding that Mr. Themes may call upon the STAND AnD to make its assertion good. It is tn, bhowever, that, for whatever prapose, Mr. Thomes made repeated eaert to get testimony in this city hsa te to the Gamewell system, and he made a fat failure of it. That system has bog been operating in Anaconda. It has proved to be a complete success hbas. It failed once owing to circum stances which are not even remotely re lated to the trustworthiness of the systei but which can be explained to the etire satisfaction of the most cas sal inquirer in ten words. Taking account of its size, this city and the smelting works have a remark ably extended alarm service. Its trust worthiness has been demonstrated time and again. Mr. Thomes knows it. lie was referred in this town by several -persons, whose testimony he vainly sought, to the chief of the departmenent. Hedid not dare request ('hief Richey's testimony against the system in use here or in favor of the toy plant which was tried in Butte. Readers of these lines will understand that the STANDAR) does not now pre sume for an instant to impugn the mo tives of any Butte alderman who voted for the Gaynor. For present purposes we simply say that the purchase of the Gaynor plant is the purest experi .ent, a asgainst a system which gives satsfaetion in uncounted American litiss, and we assert that the testimony uaoting Mr. liHale and others as hostile to the system used in Anaconda is ab slutely false. Mr. Thomes may boom an untested fire alarm system if be sees Lt, but he may expect to be called to ac count if be carries false testimony from Anaeoda to Butte: and if there are other elements in the question which he wishes to discuss, the STANDARD is already to Join him. THE CRONIN VERDICT. On tbhe 4th day of May. I. 'ronin,. of Cbhicago, was summoned to attend a man La the employ of iP. O'Sullivan, an ie dealer. with whom the doctor, three days earlier, had made a contract for profesional services. (ronin answered the summons, and his friends never again saw him alive. Reports came that the doctor had been seen in several eitles, but a provide!ce cleared that etare of the ease when, on the 2Ld o: ary, the fearfully mangled body of the deator was found in a sewer. Newspaper readers will recall the ry o the mysterious trunk and the -as s which led to the discovery that IM meader was eommaitted in a little ber in Lake View. It was early in a serune of pollee work that ONg Colghl.a, a deteetive, was Z 6.ied .~ b, the ediem atises tha be was seekbi S iiead - t on eO the see t. A mnmber oe anr sta were made. was beenght baskh brm Wmlipag. Hewvs men were uder .imdue.nt be. ete forty days baed pase aLmes the a4ming of the body, and, August h4 there begna the trial at the Ive men in whose ases a vedict was rendered yes terday, with details as recited in this morning's news columns. The case had its ensatiotlal -dl dents in the attempt to kill one of the leading witnaeses against Burke, and in the efforts to tamper with members of the Jury. In a gen eral way the plan of the pros ecution was to show that Alexander Sullivan and some of his associates were defaulters to the Irish-American fund in the sum of 188,000, that .r. Cronin proposed to expose them, that thereupon agitation was started against (ronin in order to show him to be a British spy, that the i)octor was subse quently "removed," that the Clan na-Gael had taken action on his case and that seven men were charged with the duty of removing him. The exciting trial ends with a sen tence of imprisonment for life, a Co m of punlshment which. in lieu of hang ing. will excite general comment if the accused were clearly found guilty. The verdict was in one sense a surprise, since the case was held so long in the jury room as to prompt predietions of a disagreement. In another sense, it will remain a surprise until the public becomes satisfied that the life sentences are really to be served. THEY ARE READY. It doesn't take many lines to tell al that happened it Helena yesterday. The democrats walked into the senate chamber, and now their party associates in the lower house are Inviting the ab sent republicans to come in and com plete the organization of the legislatur elected by the people. If professions made by republicans have the companionship of truth, the republican members who have been sitting in the rump house, down towrn in Helena, will walk up like men and organise with the democrats, but if the republican aspirants who stole a precinct in Milver How are sti1 clinging to the senatorial idol, we may expect the deadlock to be kept up, regardless of the popular demand that public business proceed. Entering the senate chamber yester day and taking their place In that body, the democrats put themselves at dis tinct disadvantage, if the real purpose of the republicans is to perpetuate fraud and steal seats in the federal senate which they cannot hold by honest title. The deadlock can be ended in 10 minutes if the republicans so deeree. If, to these gentlemen, the business of the state, the courts, the appropriations, the rou tine of publie affairs is of more account than the personal triumph of two men who do not deserve well of Montana, we shall soon see the state government in peaceful operation; and the specta cle will be assurance to the people that hereafter two scheming county com missioners won't have it in their power to put ten thousand voters to filght. TO A FATAL END. It will be many a day before the memory of Sunday's deadly encounter near Butte will be wiped out. That day's fatal fight to a finish is the out growth of a practice to which many a city in Montana adjusts itself all too easily. It belles the better sentiment that rules with the public, it outrages the reputation of the state and its peo ple. ' It is high time that the officials of Silver Bow county put a stop to prize fights, or take some steps toward pun ishing the participants. Brutal exhl bitions like that of Sunday last are not uncommon in Butte. If they can not be stopped, the principals can at least be arrested and punished. Iegit imate sparring exhibitions arfoone thing and these brutal mills are an other. If the officials of Silver Bow and IButte fail to see the difference, a popular subscription might be started with which to purchase each of these oficers a set of green goggles. Boxing will always be recognized as one of the leading accomplishments in athletic circles, and legitimate exhibi tions find admirers in every commu nity. Professional exponents of the art of self-defense rarely injure each other to any alarming extent and they should be allowed to furnish this class of entertainment while the unskilled are taught other trades in the peniten tiaries. It is safe to say that at least seventy five per cent of the masculine popula tion of the UInited States is more or less interested in the great pugilistic contests. The other twenty-five per cent will hang around bulletin boards awaiting the result, and then go home to moralise on the sins of the world and of the prize ring in particular. ('ontests between such men as Nullivan, Kilrain, Jackson. I)empsey, Mitchell and others are far less dangerous to life and limb than the average college game of foot ball or the innocent an nual cane rush. The legitimate prize ring, by virtue of its large following. is entitled to consideration, but such murderous contests of brute strength and physical endurance as that at Butte, Sunday afternoon, should be stopped and every participant in the mill placed where he will learn that such exhibi tions are not to be tolerated in any de cent communlty. Tbh new state of Washington has already advaned far enough to have a legislative can.dal whlch, In its lIttle way. is a mateh for the progressive tpe ot pw a that sv e to te wrs e seeling job at the emaptl b Aany nd a seoM of kindrd nedef In the nie of puble plander. The atry is that the Washlngton alegilature wanted a ltto earp-ter work done in th way of shelving and pigeon-holes. Thre upon, it is claimed, the thrifty ergeant at-arum dickered with a earpeaer in Olympia.eloi ng an arrangement where by the ofier was to have ten per cent out of the earpenter' bill, which amounted to 012·I.. Once in com mand of the work. the bos earpMeter is said to have given the whole map away. remarking that if the "eommis sion" were exacted he should include it In his bill against the state. The news printed in a Washington paper on the subject is unduly enlarged to the point of informing the world that the sergeant-at-arms is "a Grand Army man and the father of a large family." and we are told that an investigation will surely follow. Evidently Wash ington is forging right ahead in prac tical stateheod. During the long quarrel over politi cal supremacy at Ielena, the nwsf papers there add to exhaustive eom meut on polities columns of weary talk about the water question, as if water were on especial need in Helens while members of the legislature are there. If the temporary capital had wisely been voted to Anaconda, as was pr posed in the constitutional con on, there would have been no need to make special appeal on the subject. as Ana conda has the best equipped water ser vice and the most abundant supply of any city in the Northwest. At the head of the senate committee to fix up matters relating to the pro posed world's fair, is Senator Hiseock, of New York; and the Chicago elaim ants will And it hard to get over him. ut course, the senator will treat the question with entire fairness, but the mere fact of his appointment at the head of the committee looks a little like federal favor toward New York, and Senator lisoock is personally a loyal son of that state.

All the available forces of the municip. ality of Seattle were called some time ago to suhdue a one-legged man who took refuge in a cellar, barred the door and de fed the whole polee force.
