thousand forms. Who suffer from this The

thousand FORMS. Who suffer from this? The
very ones who least expect it. The shoe bus
mess is considered precarious. Capitalists
will not risk their money in it, and those who
depend on that business for their daily bread
are sufferers on account of their own acts.
1t matters not what the business is, the results
are similar. How could it be otherwise?
What is capital? What is it but accumulated
laber? And when labor fights capital it
fights its own blood and lite. The two are
Siamese twins. Kill Chang, and Eng dies
Immediately. Harm the one and you injure
the other. And so capital cannot grind down
labor without its reacting on itself. 1t is tor
the interest of the employer to provide every
means to make his laborers prosperous and
comfortable, to establish schools for their
children, and to diffuse intelligence among
them. So it is for the employees interest to
care for the property of their employers.
The interests of both are one and the same.
Upon the welfare of the one depends the
prosperity of the other. And the demagogues,
who, for their own selfish ends, would set the
one against the other. deserves to undergo the
fortunes of the damned. In Montana we
have been comparatively free from the evils of
strikes. No where are laborers more respect
ed. We have, it is true, in some cases, a little
of the Goldfish aristocracy, whose efforts to
appear of a higher order on account OF their
little wealth, create much amusement among
intelligent people. But there is not much OF
it. In no place does a laboring man take a
higher stand h in our own Territory. 1t
can hardly be otherwise. The man who
works in the ground to-day may be worth his
thousands next week. He who is a laborer
now NAV have hundreds in his employ next
year, and among them may be his employer
of to-day. Many such instances come to mind.
No place can be found where laborers have a
better chance than here. Long may it so
continue.

Crime seems to fall upon us as a regular
epidemic. Hardly do our people recover
from the shock of a murder in their own
midst when the news of a horrible murder in
Helena falls upon their ears. These events
are again swiftly followed by the new of
murders in Fort Benton, San Francisco and
Cheyenne. Details of crimes in other parts
of the country fill our dispatches, many of
which we omit, from the conviction hat such
sensations are of a demoralizing tendency as
well as from the fact that they are too remote
TO be of special interest. 1t is certainly
singular that these should have nearly all
happened at the same time.

\ Chinese will was offered for probate in
the Surrogate's office in New York. This
was the first time such a will had been filed
there, and it puzzled the clerks to make out
the characters. Had it been shown to our
editor who reads the telegraphic dispatches
he could have read it with ease. After some
practice the New York officials will have no
such trouble, and a Kearneyite expresses the
hope that they may have a great many Chi
nese wills to read.

Closely following the death of General
Hooker comes the news of enator Chand-
Ier's demise. The latter was a politician
throughout and probably as well known as
almost any man in the country. His political
work was kept up to the very last. His
speech the night before he died was called
his ablest effort. The sorrow on
account of his death seems to be universal.
Flags at half mast are displayed on the public
buildings in Chicago. Similar emblems of
grief were displayed in Detroit and other
cities. Our dispatches are full of news of
the excitement and regret which his death
caused. His last public words were for an
honest government and an undivided nation.

Gen. Grant will be in Omaha to-day and
tomorrow. Extensive preparations have been
made for his reception there. Louisville,
Kentucky, and Columbus, Ohio, are now
making arrangements to receive Grant. This
continual reception business has excited our
sympathies for Ulysses. 1t must be a terrible
bore, even to a soldier, to have the Fourth of
july come every day in the year. Let him
come to Butte and we will give him a rest
down the Alice.

In 1850 the silver production in this coun-
try was only 100000. Last year it was SAL
600, 700. The gold production in 1853 was
about S5O,0OO,O00. Last year it was about the
same. A. careful comparison Of the produc-
tons of twenty years shows that the yield Of
gold has kept about the same, while that of
silver has considerably increased.

The Grant boom in Illinois seems to have
played hob-nob with the Republicans. Money
was freely given to provide for Grants recep-

the necessary campaign expenses and little

Mr.. Adams, clerk. After the
usual preliminaries he called the
roll. On motion of Wood, of
New York the house proceeded

The New York Times has for
some time been engaged in
gathering information from all
sections of the country in re-
gard to the condition and future
prospects of trades, manufac-
lures and other industries. 1t
says: "They show that the con-
dition of the business interests
of the company as compared
with year ago at this time, give
promise of a profitable season,
and the beginning OF a return
Of national prosperity" The
entire outlook may be regarded
as extremely favorable. If the
greenback element will let the
finances alone and join the de-
mocraey in the presidential
campaign OF 1880 and elect a
democratic president, peace
and prosperity will once more
reign supreme in the land.

THE New York San accuses
Hayes, the fraudulent president,
with living in a most niggardly
manner. 1t claims that he has
not expenped $4,000 a year
since occupy ing the Office into
which he was indicted by fraud.
The entertainments given at the
white house on state occasions
are gotten up on the cheapest
plan, and somehow are manag-
ed to be paid for out of the con-
tingent fund. Hayes has pock-
eted at least $4,000 already,
and if he continues at his pres
ent rate he will retire to obscur-
ity with about $4,000. Hayes
and the rest of the administra-
ton are said to pray for Wells,
Anderson and the returning
board thieves in general. They
don't forget their friends.

DEMOCRATIC politicians gem
orally agree. says the Mobile
Register, that the fight made in
Congress for a repeal of the
laws which deny impartial iuries
and free elections has been of
great service; that the effect is
to thoroughly consolidate and
unite the Democratic party and
to put it in fighting trim for the
great struggle of 1880 between
despotism and constitutional
liberty.

The Sedalia Democrat sums
up the difficulties in the way of

South don't know how to go to

burg, and Atlanta Chattanooga
and Shreveport Fort Worth and
Chicago all the balance, and
St.Louis does rot open her

of action something might be
done.

We find the following in an
exchange. If there be any
truth in it, those newspapers
which are SO busily engaged in
an endeavor to manufacture
public opinion in favor of Til
den, arc putting their time asd
talents to very poor use. I'll
den is not by any means a IA
voritc with the masses Of the
people:
The New York Herald caused
one hundred and twenty-scvcn
members of congress, of the
democratic pursuasion, to be
interviewed since adjournment,
for the purpose of ascertaining
their views of the most avaiia-
bic man for the presidency. OF
those who responded to inter
rogatories, 81 declared them
selves opposed to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. I'ilden in 1880, and
Il declared in his favor. Sena-
tor Thurmond was first choice
of so; Mr.. Hendricks first choice
of r., and Senator Bayard first
choice of 10, and AZ declined
to cxpress,.a preference. This
is not very encouraging for the
sage Of Gramercy park.
The election of Mr.. Randall
as speaker by the unanimous
democratic vote Of the house
may be regarded as indicative
of harmony in the party. MIR.
Blackburn, who had been
brought forward as the candi-
date of the south in the
caucus for the speakership,
cordially supported Mr.. Randall.
The democracy now having
control of both houses OF con-
gress can, by proper and liberal
legislation, unite all sections of
the country in common and
just cause and by avoiding any
dissentions pave the way for
grand democratic triumph in
the presidential campaign of
1880.
