Population and Production.

It is the general belief that the census now under way will show a total population of not less than 49,0O3,000, and probably, 50,- 000,000. In round numbers the population of all the States and Territories in 1870 was 3S, 100000. If we have 50,OO0,00O now, the increase in the ten years was H. 500,000, or very nearly 30 per cent (29.SO. Let us call it 8. per cent. It is an enormous increase upon so vast capital as 3S,500,000 and if it can be kept up during the next ten years, the population of the United States in 1890 will have reached 65,0OO,0O0 which is as much as the population of France and Italy combined. But our increase in wealth and production is far greater. In 1870 we had 52,000 miles of rail way, against 5000 in 1SS0-an in' CT ease of 40 per cent. Our eX- ports in 1870 amounted to $629,- 100000. against $73O,0OO,O0O in 17S9-an increase of 3S per cent. The increase in coal productions from 1869 to 1878 was over 60 per cent, Our agricultural exports in 1868 amounted to S320, ,000, 1000: in 1878 to $592, 000,0 0,000-increase 85 per cent. The cereal products of the county in 1868 aggregated l. 450, 789, 9,G00 bushels, including h. dian corn. In 1878 the total was 2,36S, 100000 bushels-an increase of about 6S per cent. In 1865 We produced but 14S, ,500,000 bushels of W heat. In 1879 the production of this cereal was 40, ,000, ,000 bushels The increase in If years was nearly 200 per cent, or 16l per cent per year. From 1870 to 1878 the cotton yield rose from 3.000,- 000 to 5,2l6,00O bales-an increase of 70 per cent in s years, or at the rate of nearly 9 per cent a year. The expansion of Amercan man. ufacture has kept pace with the increase in agricultural produc- tiOn. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Lowell now rank among the greatest manufacturing cities in the world.

GARFIELD FOR PRESIDENT.

vention as candidate. General James A. Garfield, Senator tor Ohio, is the choice of the Repub- lican Convention for President. The result Is something of a sur prise to us. When the Conven. tlOn adjourned on the night of the Eth and after the first ballots this morning, it appeared as if Grant would receive the nomination, his strength slowly increasing; but when the break took place the votes were rapidly cast for Garfield, who had proposed John Sherman, and who received his support and that of Windom's friends. Kansas, a strong Grant state, broke for Garfield, as did Blaine's delegation from Maine. The demoralization then became general, ana despite his repeated declaration that he was not can- didate for the Presidency, he was nominated on the thirty-sixth ballot. Thus ended the most re- markable contest within the Re publican lines-a contest upon which have centered the eyes, not of America alone, but of the whole civilized world. It was a remarkable struggle in many ways-a battle of giants, contend ing for the supremacy of this great republic, as if the fate of the whole human race depended upon the issue.
 Notwithstanding another was our favorite, we cheerfully sus, tain Gen. Garfieid's candIdature. He is an honor to our country. an honest, cultured, Christian gen. tleman. His record upon the Chinese question has endeared him to every man and woman upon the Pacific slope. Senator Garfieldss speech against unre' stricted Chinese immigration was a masterpiece of logic and orato- ry, end will secure him a large majority of votes west of the Rocky mountains. His career has eminently qualified him for the discharge Of the high duties of President. James A. Garfield was born in Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, on the 18th of Mo- vember, 1881, and is therefore in his forty-ninth year. Having graduated at Williams College, Massachusetts, he studied and practiced law in his own state, and was elected to the Ohio Sen ate in 1859. When the civil war broke out he took up arms for the preservation of the Union, enter ing as Colonel of the 42d Ohio Volunteers, and serving in south eastern Kentucky. In January 1862, General Garfield, command. ing brigade, forced the COnfed- crate General Marshall, with his command, to evacuate Kentucky, for which distinguished service he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers, and served at Shiloh, Corinth and other engagements. In 1863, he became chief of staff of the army of the Cumberland, with whom he served until December 1868, having meanwhile been promoted to the rank of Major General for his gallantry at the battle of Chickamauga.
 General Garfield resigned from the army in 1863, having been elected to the House of Repre- sentatives in the thirty eighth Congress. He sat in the House of Representatives cOnsecutively from his first election to the forty fifth Congress, to which he was also returned. But Ohio, having gone Republican, paid him the compliment of eiecting him to the Senate in the room of Thur man, who was thereby retired to private life. General Garfield was also member of the Electo-

Generosity.

Generosity in a very good thing in its way,
but under certain circumstances, as for in
stance in being generous with other peoples
money which has been entrusted to YOUR
charge, the virtue of generosity is less COM
mendable than usual. An instance of this
kind to our thinking occurred the other night
when our city council increased the remuner-
alton of the city marshal from 500 TO Sl25
per month, and fees, and the pay of policemen
from $50 to $50 per month, with perks. As
soon as we get possession of the necessary
statistics we shall lay before our readers a
tabulated statement of the amounts received
IN fees during each month of the past year
by the marshal and by the several policemen.
BY adding the aggregate of such fees to the
salaries formerly paid, our readers can judge
for themselves whether or not an increase of
those salaries was called for.

Two years ago to-day, on the memorable
18th Of June, 1878, the Butte Working
mems Union effected its organization.
For some time afterwards doubts were enter
tanned both concerning the achievement of its
ends in view, and even the permanencY Of its
vitality. As autumn approached those doubts
were strengthened in the minds Of many of
its well-wishers by what appeared to be a par
tial perversion from its original and legitimate
ends-that Of maintaining wages at the stand
ard existing previous to the strike-to the
business of politics, among whose breakers
shipwreck would speedily have awaited it.

devoted to its legitimate purposes, and not
allowed to turn aside and occupy itself in
schemes of political, religious or any other
reform, unless discord were invited and ruin
courted. It soon became apparent though,
that the appearance of the unions CONVEX
sion into a political organization was alto
gether deceptive, amounting to nothing more
than the candidacy of one OF its members for
a county office, which of course it was his per-
feet right to make, and his support in that
candidacy by large numbers of his fellow
members of the union who supported him,
however, as citizens, not as duly enrolled
members of the union. With his support
the union, in its official capacity had nothing
whatever to do, its managers wisely refrain
ing from allowing it to drift into political
complications. This judicious course has
since been adhered 10. The union has kept
itself clear of politics, and the consequence is
that it is a union in fact, not merely a name,
possessing a unity manifested not only in the
strength of a membership far superior in
nU'nber to that of its early days, but also in
supreme test of efficacy, its adaptation to the
ends held in view by its founders, for miners
wages, thanks to the earnest protest of Butte's
united workinsmeE have never been reduced
below the figures prevailing at the time of the
strike, and before. Omitting the Incorporate
zeal displayed in the excitement following
the strike, by a few hot-heads whose actions
were not officially approved by the other
members, the union has always so comported
itself as to deserve the respect and good
wishes of the public. To-day it is stronger
than it has beeu at any previous period of the
two years it has been7 in existence, and all
that is necessary for its further prosperity is
a continuance of the good counsels hitherto
guiding its course.
