With the drastic anti gambling law which has just been enacted, the duty of public officials is plain. No organization can grow and drive' which have for their sponsors men who have proved to be reliable and dishonest, and theoner they realize the same theoner will their progress be more sure. We are uot in the exposing business but the head grand offer of a certain order which is envoying to get a foothold in this nation, has by his conduct retard-that order more than he knows. The PLAINDEALER will yet sow up some of these leeches inatr true light, Mayor Dunne of Chicago has been renominated by the democrats is said that there is no question this reelection, on account of near unanamous support of the colled voters. Mayor Dunhe has loved his friendship for the race and we are glad to see that they saw their appreciation of the same PHIL C. GOODWIN FOR TREASURER OF BUTTE There is no man who has a more reliable record as a puolic official in the present efficient city treasurer Phil C. Goodwin aud regarded party lines his support for a good term is unsversal. Mr. Goodwin is an old time newspaperman working upthe ladder from a better to manager of one of the greatest dailies in Butte. He has an resident of Butte for 24 yrs and the public schools of the city, he is therefore one of the gang pioneers of the great mining emp. Mr. Goodwin is clean cut and knaws no predJudlice, his friendship for our people is not onlycerned at election times but before he entered the political arena Considering the raw deal that our people received at the hands the victorious republicans last there should not be one disting voice to the support of such man as Mr. Goodwin. The lead-colored men of Butte are given their unstinted support and he entitled to the undivided support the colored voters of Butte. THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD SPIRIT OF THE PRESS Who shot up Brownsville the Mexican greasers, who seem most to inhabit it, or the black soldiers whose lives were made a burden by the greasers and other toughs of the stin'ing sink? The senate committee on military affairs, which is investigating the incident, has so far brought out no evidence that does not teud to show that the soldiers did not do it. If this should be the verbict, what will become of the Presidents order of discharge. New York Age Experience demonstrates that it is not the "big Negroes" who support the enterprises of the race,but the hard-working, unassuming masses. The common people are the salt of the earth. Lincoln once said; "Lord Almighty must have loved the common people best, for he made so many of them." -Freeman. Judging from the press reports of the Brownsvill defame affair, the boys of the famous 25th. U. S. troops are as brave on the witness stand as they are before the enemies guns, and are scoring victory after victory for the innocent, but heroic men. Truth of course must ultimately win out, all the brighter by virtue of it's hard experience. Senator Foraker is the real hero in this battle for justice for the veteran troops. - Baltimore Guide. Speaking of the Negro soldiers who have already testified before the Seuate Committee appointed to investigate the Brownsville affair, the Washington Star says: We need not go farther than these few men to illstrate the injustice of the Presldent's order. If at a later day, from the testimony of other witnesses, the guilty are uncovered, well and good. But here are men who stand the fire of able lawyers. tell with every appearance of sincerity all they know and acquit themselves creditably, and yet, by the presidents command, are outside the breastworks. Mr. Forakers resolution so far as they are concerned has proved a boon of the greatest value. When the military committee of the senate reports on this ease debate will be in order on it's adoption, and the promise is of diliverances of unusual interest. It would be idle to deny that the episobe has taken on a political complexion, but it's real value and significance are far above politics - Conservator. President Roosevelt and Judge Parker have gotten together at ast; on the Brownsville affair. Birmingham Age Herald. And the fact that so many very small democrats have chipped in whooping up the president, because of eis action in this matter, is one reason why so many sarong Republicans now know the president was in error in this one thing. t is a pity, it is actually a depiorable thing, that a republican president has such a coterie of small men, democrats, patting him on the back in a case of this sort. It does him more harm than the bold and honest criticism from the members of his own party. The effect is very injurious to him. The Southern American. Speaking of alderman the many who are far worst an ner, he fights in the open, y ways know where he is at, loyal to his friends and that The evidence presented before the Senate investigating committee on the Bronsville affair leads one to believe that the post was fired upon by citizens. When the investigation is completed, it will no doubt prove the soldiers entirely innocent, and they will be exonerated. - Topeka Plaindealer. POLITIGAL SNAP SHOTS Police judge Horn will yet find time to be bothered with all the people as that is what he was elected for. E. A. Morley of the board of R, R, commissioners was chairman of the republican county central committee and managed the successful campaign in Silver Bow county last fall, he is a broadgauged republican and all right. NOT SO INTERESTED. Since the raw deal hand ter they do not take the in did and as a result the de several members in the co for trking this stand, as Since the raw deal handed to our people last winter they do not take the interest that they formerly did and as a result the democrats are sure to gain several members in the council, We commend them for trking this stand, as under the prisent administration they have received absolutely no recognition the same in true of the county and state therefore why should the colored brother porry. So it is better anyway to let the other fellow do worryinh and the time wsll soon roll around when we shall have an opportunity to even up old scores. ANACONDA REPUBLICANS PRESENT A STRONG TICKET AND SHOULD RECEIVE A HEARTY SUPPORT.

Speaking of alderman there are many who are far worst an Lissner, he fights in the open, you always know where he is at, he, is loyal to his friends and that is more than can be said of many. Judge Horn will when his present term, join his friend Lacroix. Even at this date there seems to be very little interes as to who shall serve as alderman for the ensueing two years.

Let it never be forgotten that the Negro did not come hither of his own accord. Our own forefathers constrained him to emigrate from his African haunts to be their servant, we must say in all humility that they are of our own making.

DEWEY ON JAP WAR MANILA BAY HERO GETS TALK- ATIVE ON SUBJECT. The Great Aamir Telis How Long It Would Take Uncle Sam to Put the oo oh oe te a Oe Would Not Fear Japan. Washington, Feb. 5.—Admiral Dew- ey is reported to be very indignant at what he terms the “d—d cowardice” of a certain high official who had “acted as if he feared Japan.” The fighting hero of Manila bay says that we could get our navy into eastern waters in six weeks and that within two weeks after its arrival there it could sweep Japan's navy from the sea, He does not believe there will be trouble, but if there is, he would not consider Jap- an a foe to fear, He says that Japan might seize the Philippines and pos- sibly Hawali, but that our navy is am- ply able to cope with Japan and that we would quickly retake the isiand when we got ready. , On the supposition that there was really some danger of war, Senator Perkins’ recent lecture on the Japan- ese question is being severely criti cized for the alleged warlike talk in it. The Washington Herald said this morning: “At the very moment when the ad- ministration and the California dele- gation were in agreement, when self- restraint and preservation of good hu- mor were necessary to insure a con- tinuance of harmonious relations, Sen- ator Perkins, leader of the delegation, delivered a semi-public address in which he predicted that war was ine- vitable between Japan and the United States, Friends of Senator Perkins are chagrined and humiliated over this unexpected outburst, and cannot un- derstand the motive that actuated it. It was said yesterday that his predic- tion would have come with bad grace at this time from any member of the California delegation, but the fact that Senator Perkins is part of the treaty- making power of the government ac- centuates the offense.” War Talk Surprises Japan. Tokio—The war talk of the Ameri- can press has been received here with great surprise and sincere regret. The correspondent of the Associated Press has talked with several leading men. They concur in the opinion that the United States is the last country with which Japan would go to war. Besides, both nations are unaggressive in their trade rivalry, which seldom leads to war unless territorial acquisition is in- tended by either rival. In some quar- ters the bellef is expressed that the misrepresentation that Japan is suf- fering on account of the San Francisco school question is the outcome of m- munity shown disaffected war corres- pondents in the late war. An Exclusion Resolution. San Francisco—At the convention of the Japanese and Korean Exclusion league Sunday resolutions adopted by the executive board of the league on Saturday night demanding the United States and the state of California main- tain the right to exclude Japanese from public schools used by white children, were unanimously adopted, after much spirited discussion by men prominent in the movement to exclude Asiatics from this country.

It is expected that the bill will be vetoed by Governor Toole. The officers of the Montana Cen- tral railroad have been informed that the Great Northern is again tied up by a blizzard. The line from Great Falls to Lethbridge is eut of business, and it ig stated that in Lethbridge the worst storm in 20 years has made it neces- sary to close the coal mines there for two days past. From all over northern Montana come reports of increasing cold and snow. In Valley county the temperature ranged close to 45 degrees below zero. ‘The cattlemen of that sec- tion have given up hope of saving stock, for which hay is not procurable, Edward P.

SEVERE WEATHER THOUGH MONTANA Winter weather throughout northern Montana is now more severe than at any time for 27 years Not a wheel is turning on the main line of the Great Northera. In the drifts west of Havre seven Orieutal Limited passenger trains are stalled, and to the east five more are similarly situated. ‘The temperature in Great Falls on Tuesday ranged from 14 to 22 below zero, in Havre from 28 to 44 below, and it is reported that in Valley coun- ty the temperature Monday was around 50 below. At most points in north- ern Montana a blizzard has raged for hours past. At Choutean five inches of snow fell in 10 hours and fuel is 80 scarce that coal is being sold in lots of from 100 to 200 pounds. The Indians in that yicinity are suffering severely, and to remove any possibility of desperate reds pillaging the ranches they are be- ‘ing fed by the county authorities. Ranchmen along the Missouri river in the vicinity of Popular are said to be short of food and fuel, being unable to reach settlements, even ou snow shoes.

STOP WAR THIS TALK In the Japanese Fuse—He May promise California That No More Cooler Will Come to Coast—Mikado to issue Order—But People of Golden State Are Not Easy to Convince. President Roosevelt is urging newspaper correspondents to do all in their power to minimize the talk of a possible war between the United States and Japan. He is explaining in detail the method by which he expects to avert any further irritation between the two governments. He expresses the utmost confidence in his ability to bring the San Francisco school authorities to his way of thinking. He, therefore, feels no hesitancy in asking the correspondents to deny that the situation is serious or acute. The president had a special audience recently with the correspondents of those newspapers which are staunch supporters of his administration. To the members of the party he expressed his positive belief that when the San Francisco authorities take up the question with him he will have no serious trouble in getting them to agree to the withdrawal of the order barring Japanese pupils from the public schools of their city. The president's plans for a final settlement of the cooie labor problem, in which it is said the Japanese ambassador heartily coincides, involve the issuance of an imperial edict and a codicil to the present commercial treaty. The edict will forbid Japanese subjects leaving the empire for the United States. It may appeal to the patriotism of the Japanese in declaring that their services are more necessary to the government at home and in Manchuria. The proposed codicil to the existing commercial treaty will deal entirely with the exclusion of Japanese coolies from this country and the barring of American workmen from Japan. The remainder of the treaty will be left undisturbed. It was made evident by the president's utterances that he does not believe anything can be accomplished by legislation looking to Japanese exclusion. He thinks a long period of time would be required for the passage of a bill through congress. He also believes that it would be attended by the delivery of so many inflammatory speeches as to render this undesirable. He considers this the only practical method of settling the question. This argument will constitute one of the strong points in presenting his case to the San Francisco delegation. He will assure them that the California delegation in congress cannot render any assistance by urging an exclusion campaign, but that he alone can procure relief through the medium of an imperial edict and a codicil to the commercial treaty now in operation. The concerted denials from all administration officials that absolutely nothing is being done looking to preparation for possible war was made somewhat ridiculous Saturday afternoon when Secretary Metcalf, himself a citizen of California, issued an order allowing $1,000,000 for the immediate prosecution of repairs to the battleship Oregon, now lying at the Puget Sound navy yard. This allowance of $1,000,000 is intended to put the formidable battle船, which was the historic battle craft in the Spanish war, in strictly first class condition. The action of Secretary Metcalf is made all the more significant by the fact that the Oregon is on the Pacific coast, where it is to be desired that every available warship should be ready for prompt and efficient service. Official circles are deeply interested in the question whether President Roosevelt and his cabinet advisers will be successful in their efforts to dominate the San Francisco authorities. Upon their final answer in a great degree hinges the probability of an open rupture between the United States and Japan. The president is in no wise concerned over the report from the Pacific coast that the school board has pledged itself to remain firm and not consent to the obnoxious order being either suspended or rescinded. To Washington. San Francisco—After a conference at the home of Mayor Schmitz the members of the board of education decided that the entire board, with Superintendent Ronconvierei and Assistant City Attorney Williams, will go to Washington to confer with the federal officials on the Japanese question.

Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn., the lowest bidder for the Panama canal contract, has called at the isthmian canal commission offices to talk with Chairman Shonts, but the latter is in New York. Mr. Oliver said he was ready to comply with the requirements suggested by the president and that two other contractors must be associated with him in the proposals submitted. Mr. Oliver would not give the names of these contractors and said they would probably be made public by Mr. Shonts when the 10 days' limit has expired. Roosevelt Aids Famine Fund Secretary Root, in enclosing his contribution of $100 with a similar contribution from President Roosevelt in aid to the Chinese famine relief fund, has written a letter to the Christian Herald in which he says: "The president has asked me to say to you that he is much interested in the work of raising funds for the benefit of the sufferers of the present dreadful famine in China. He hopes that you will meet the same success that you have had in similar appeals to the humanity and liberality of our people." WRECKINGCALIFORNIA PASSENGR TRAIN DITCHED NEAR WOODLAND. Safe Crushes the Messenger—Car Rolls From Track in Wreck on Southern Pacific—Tramps Perish, Is Report—Passengers Say Three Were Riding on Blind Baggage. Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 4.—At 6:10 o'clock Sunday morning the Portland, San Francisco train No. 15 was wrecked two miles east of Durning, 10 miles north of Woodland, in Yolo county, and Charles Charles, an express messenger, killed. The express car rolled from the track and the heavy safe, used by the company, toppled over upon him, crushing out his life. Passengers on the train say that three tramps, who were beating their way on the blind baggage, were also killed, but there is no report of the matter on file in the railroad offices in this city. Several passengers were shaken up, but none were seriously injured. Cars Badly Smashed. The locomotive, tender, express car, baggage, smoker, chair, tourist and diner left the rails and were badly smashed. Only one sleeper left the rails, and with this exception and that of the dining car, the entire Pulman section remained on the track. The train was several hours late and was moving at a high rate of speed. The locomotive broke from the express car, left the track and plowed through the soft earth 150 feet before it turned over on its side. The engineer and fireman stayed with the locomotive and escaped unhurt. The baggage car slid a hundred feet along the track after turning over, and was telescoped. The injured follow: Tony Miller, Weed, Cal., scalded on right leg. R. J. Smith, baggageman, 2333 Rush street, San Francisco, back bruised. F. W.

These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the because they do not reach the blood. S. S.

RIOT WAS AT HAND ONLY PRESENCE OF POLICE PREVENTED IT IN PARIS. New Church Move Flouted by Paris Folk—Militant Catholics Organized a Hostile Reception to New Idea—Several Thousand Persons took Part in Trouble. Paris, Feb. 4.—Only the presence of the police prevented a riot at the old church which has been rechristened the Church of the Holy Apostles, in which the French Apostolic Catholic church was inaugurated Sunday. The announcement of the attempt to organize a schism has stirred up the militant Catholics, who organized a hostile reception, with the intention of breaking up the services. Handbills were distributed, containing the words of a popular air, describing Archbishop Vilatte, head of the independent Catholic movement in America, as an American monkey, whom M. Briand, minister of public instruction and worship, desired to make a French pope. Several thousand persons were outside the church and scores of others penetrated the already crowded church. Interruptions commenced as soon as Father Roussin, pastor of the church, began his sermon, welcoming the representatives of Catholic independents and the dawning of the day when the church of Jesus Christ will unite in Christian charity. He thanked Archbishop Vilatte for aiding the French Catholics in establishing the first church, saying he was consecrated by the patriarch of Antioch, the successor of St. Peter. A shout in the rear of the edifice, "He is an excommunicated," was the signal for a general tumult, and Father Roussin finally was compelled to ask that the police be summoned. About 50 persons were expelled from the church and quiet was practically maintained until Archbishop Vilatte appeared on the altar in the robe and mitre of an archbishop. Instantly the din began again, with redoubled force, almost drowning his words. Nevertheless he calmly continued, saying he had been a missionary for 36 years, but no savage tribe had ever prevented him speaking, and concluding: "Even to those who interrupt and revile me, I say I will not excommunicate. I wish you no ill. God be with you. Amen." "A score or more of persons were then ejected before Archbishop Vilatte proceeded with the celebration of pontifical mass, in which he observed the Catholic rites. During the elevation of the host, the militant Catholics, instead of kneeling, climbed into their chairs. In the meantime the police had cleared the streets outside the church and there were no demonstrations as the congregation left.

Drilling every day among a crowd of recruits at Mare Island barracks, where he is being instructed in, the duties of a private of the marine corps at the regular pay of $12.80 per month and rations, is Virgil I. Thurman, one of the heirs to an estate of over $250,000 in the blue grass country of old Kentucky, says the San Francisco Bulletin. And it is doubtful if any of the men drilling side by side with him each day, with the exception of David McGee, the chum who enlisted with him at Sioux City, Iowa, have any suspicion that the quiet fellow in their midst has a cent more than the average man who enlistes in time of peace. Thurman's inheritance comes to him from his maternal grandmother, a Mrs. Rautt, who died some few years ago on the property which is now to be divided between her heirs, near Hodgenville, Ky. Thirty-four months ago Thurman first learned of his inheritance. Two weeks ago he received a letter from his attorney, Samuel Y. Jones, of Hodgenville, notifying him that the other heirs have applied for the sale and final distribution of the property, so that in a short time the raw recruit now drilling so faithfully at the Mare Island barracks will be the possessor of a tidy little fortune of several thousand dollars. "I am a cowboy by profession," he said, when questioned by a Bulletin reporter, "and I enlisted in the service at Sloux City because they gave us pretty good inducements to see the world. I have spent all my life around Texas and Colorado and I wanted to see something else. Yes, I knew about this money coming to me, but that made no difference. You see, we will only be kept here a couple of months or so, and then we will be sent off to have an opportunity to see something. No, we don't get much pay, only $12.80 a month," he laughed, "but I am not sorry I enlisted. We are treated well and I like it, and besides we will have a chance to see the world." Pity Them. An Atchison man and his wife sat down the other night and talked it over. "We have been facing it for six weeks," he said, "and dread of doing what lies before us is not making it any easier. We have it to do; let us begin now." His wife agreed with him and departed sadly for the cellar. When she returned she carried a jar of preserved fruit. They had decided to begin to eat their way through 187 quarts of peaches, 47 quarts of strawberries, 78 quarts of cherries and 43 quarts of plums put up last summer.—Atchison Globe. Always in Style.
