greatest surplus to exchange for eommodi-

Then let those who till the soil rally under
one banner and stand together in. the great
battle of life; brethren of one grand frater-
nifty, ever ready to lend a helping hand to
any deserving fellow-being who may be in
need. Neighborhood wrangles, chickering's
and %back-biting are wholly out of place.
The farmers should be one grand, happy
family, and should live in perfect harmony.
Their lives should be replete with little
kindnesses and courtesies which tend to
strengthen the bonds of fraternal brother
hood. When u agricultural population
shall learn these things, and not till then,
will our honored calling be nearing the
zenith. M 49,

THE FIRST number of the Butte Miner has
reached us. 1t is a neatly printed four-page
24column tri-weekly, same size of the HUs-
BANDMAN. Terms of subscription, ST. per
month, Or $40 per year. 1t is brim full of
mining and general news, and has a good
showing of advertisements. The Miner is
the second newspaper established in Mon
tana which is devoted to the industrial in
~terests Of the Territory. A journal thus
addressing itself to the material welfare of
the people is taking upon itself an arduous
task. We welcome the new paper to the
field, for while husbandry is a very extern
sive branch ef industry and one of the chief
sources of wealth, the mining interest of
this Territory is equally as important, and
has long needed an earnest advocate. Every
miner and every citizen of Montana who is
interested in the development of our mineral
resources should subscribe for the Miner.
and thus lend substantial aid to the consum-
nation of this work. 1t is perfectly natu-
raj that our farmers and friends should be
as much interested in our mines as our
miners are in the progress and prosperity of
the agricultural interests. We therefore saw
to our friends, send along a dollar and try
the Miner a month.
The editors announce that "~Incidental to

During the past week the sickening and
heart-rendering news has been received
that Gen. Custer, and his entire command,
consisting of 3l5 enlisted men and IL Of
ticers have been massacred by the Sioux
under the leadership Of Sitting Bull-not
a man being left to tell the tale There is
evidently no course now left for our gov
ernment-but to exterminate the race
root and branch } ct it must not be for
gotten that in almost every instance where
hostilities have broken out-the American
government, through Its agents, has been
the aggressor. Our Lawmakers seem to
think that treaty with the Indisns-even
if the faith of the Nation is plighted to
secure it's fulfllment-can be broken with
impunity. In Canada-mutual confidence
remains unimpaired- and this is in great
measure owing to the fact that its govern
ment finds it to its interest to scrupulous-
ly observe treaty stipulations. Hunted
from pillar to post, like hyenas, cheated
and wronged by a pack of shameless Of
ticials, who should protect their interests,
is it any wonder that driven to despers-
ton, with no ray of hope for the future,
our aborigines should dispute the right Of
the pale face to drive them from the hunt
ing grounds which they honestly believe
are their own-over which their ancestors
have roamed for centuriesl Yet the rest
less, lawless cupidity Of American adVen-
turers is justified first on one pretext then
ON another, until eventually the power Of
the government is invoked to enforce their
demands, and reservation after reservation
is wrested from the Indian either by fraud
or force of arms.
Every miner i'll the Black Hills is there
in direct violation of law, and if our gov
ernment had performed its duty year
ago-neither Custer nor his men would
have been permitted to invade their terri
tory-under the specious gulse employed.
While we cannot defend the atrocities OF
the Indians-we cannot forget there are
two sides to the question, and that our
people, in their transactions with them at
least, have always, acted on the principle
that might makes right.
These statements may not be palatable
to our National pride, but they are true
nevertheless.

Because such a paper is not designed to

greenback, or as the greenback would have

it, for furnishing gold for the paper dealing

Mr.. Thomas Halliday, formerly Presi-
kent of the Amalgamated Association Of
Miners, has been appointed Secretary to
the Miners National Union, in the place
Of Mr.. w. Crawford; of Durham, who has
held the appointment since the formation
Of the Union. Mr.. David Moulson of
South Yorkshire has been reelected Treas
urer.
At meeting Of colliery proprietors of
the Bliston district. it was resolved to levy
no rate under the South Staffordshire
Mines Drainage Act for the ensueing year.
II was also pointed out by some Of the
proprietors that the stoppage of mines
drainage works in South Staffordshire
would cause the flooding Of numerous val
uab,e collieries to such an extent that they
could never again be w":rlleG. Some hun
dreds of colliers vii, De thrown out Of en-

part in recovering the dead and restoring
the workings at the Swaithe Main colliery,
and in other ways assisting In the work Of
alleViatlng the sufferlngs Of the injured,
have been presented with silver cups by
the owners. The fund for the relief Of the
widows and orphans has not yet reached
the amount required, and it is not im-
probable that another appeal will be made
to the Mansion House Committee for
further assistance.
DuRHAM.-A special delegate meeting
Of the Durham Miners Association, rep
resenting 90, 900 miners, was held at Dur
ham, on Saturday, to consider the decision
Of the masters to enforce further reduc-
tion of 10 and 10 per cent. in wages. On
Friday, the Association Committee deemed
the matter so critical that they considered
it imperative to issue a manifesto praying
the men to accept arbitration, and not re-
sort to a strike. A long discussion took
place, but no final result was arrived at, the
whole question being referred back to the
lodges for further consideration, and to
ascertain the feeling Of the whole body.

And now word to the producing classes in
our cities and manufacturing centres in
regard to their duty at the ensuing election.
let them make point to vote for no candi-

who does not pie,iye himself when nominated,
to vote for the repeal OF treaty whose ad-
vantages are all on the side OF . foreign na-
