TIE CHINESE PROBLEM.

Our dispatches published in yesterday
mornings MINER, convey the startling i'll
telligence that Denver had been in the hands
Of a mob for several hours, and That they had
Quilted nearly all the Chinese houses in the
ciLy, and that other acts of violence had been
committed resulting in the death of some
others. The immediate cause of these law
less proceedings was the fear that if Garfield
should be elected the country would he
flooded with Chinese and white labor driven
nut. Ibis feeling was doubtless intensified
by the publication of the Garfeld-Morey let
ter which has so alarmed The laboring men of
the country.
This Chinese question is not ephemeral IN
its nature. 1t does not have its birth in and its
death after al electitn.Onthe contrary it is one
that age has endowed with such stately, cUm-
manding proportions that it now forces itself
upon the attention and serious consideration
of all thinking men. We have not as a ma
ton handled the subject properly. The press,
the people and the government have treated
the question with palliative rather than with
curative remedies, and the result is that like
a badly doctored patient, the whole matter
has become diseased; and has passed beyond
the control vi mild measures. This fact is
witnessed in tie spasimodic Efforts that the

only a question of private and corporate econ

light to buy labor where they can get it
cheapest.

A PLAIN CASE.
years ago.

After Gartield's nomination at Chicago the
Indifference with which Grant, Conkling,
Cameron and Logan viewed the. prospects of
the republican nominee was patent to all.
Grant secluded himself in his retreat at Ca
lena; Conkling made preparations for an ex-
tended visit to Europe; Cameron discovered
that his health was impaired and sought one
of the famous watering places to recupera,e,
and Logan sulked in his tent. Jewell and
other prominent leaders in the republican
party were in despair. They saw the hopes
of a successful campaign become 'ssmall by
degrees and beautifully less," as the precious
days rolled away. Something must be done
or Garfield was lost. They hadn't thought
of the tariff humbug then. Concessions
must be made. Conkling. Cameron and
Logan, with Chief Grant, were called to
Mentor -Garfield's home. A long consulta-
ton ensued. 1t must have been healing and
revlvifying IN its nature. Conkling gave up
his European trip and concluded America
was a good place in which to pass the sum-
mer months; Cameron's health was at once
restored; Logan folded his tent and came
smiling to the front, and Grant found out he
was an orator as we'll as all organizer of men,
and left his hermitage in the lead mines and
launched out as a stump speaker and leader
of the Boys in Blue. The triumvirate
formed by the coalition between Conkling,
Cameron and Logan furnished the brains and
directed the campaign. 1t was the power
that decided the issue of this contest. 1t will
be the power behind the throne that will de-
terlnine the policy Of the next administra-
ton. Garfield will be the presidential figure
head-the nominal president-the triumvirate
will be the real president. The federal ap-
pointments and patronage will be made the
lever by which Grant will be made the repub-
lican candidate for the presidency in 1884.
The facts warrant the assumption. It's a
plain case.

THE BURIED PAST.

The election is over and we are heartily
glad Of it. In the course of a campaign of
the impoYanc e of the present one, party feel
ing naturally asserts itself and too often pass
es beyond the bounds Of a properly regulated
enthusiasm. In such cases we are prone to
say and write things which at other times we
would hesitate to do. In our eagerness to
agine our favorite candidate or candidates
have to the support Of our neighbors and
friends, we are inclined, in q heated canvass,
to use explosives and Understanding adjec-
tives, and when these fail as means of escape
for our constantly increasing and pent up
enthusiasm, we are quite apt to engage in
mud throwing, which little pastime az often
besmears the thrower as the recipient of it.
Now we all know that thisi is useless and even
foolish, and that we can find no excuse for
our indulgences in this direction, though ev-
eryone in America from the MINER down to
General Grant shall be pronounced guilty.
In considering thism matter there is one cen-
ISOLATION that may be derived from it, and that
is that elections are not of such frequent oc-
currence that newspapers and the people gen.
orally are in danger of contracting the habit
of being disagreeably personal in their inter
course with their patrons and friends. In
view of this fact We hope to resume our
peaceful relations with all, including such, il
there be one, who may have felt agglieved by
our very plain manner of presenting our po-
litical convictions. In a word, let the past
bury the past.

We commend the following to the careful
afraid the silver mines of the territories will
glut our country with its argeEtlferous pro-
ductions. 1t will be seen that we have room
for billions Of silver coin yet. TO equal the
circulation per capita Of Switzerland, We
must coin SIT, $50, 900 900.
The paper currency of the United States,
by which is meant greenbacks and the notes
of national banks, amounts in round numbers
to about $500 DOC, 900, and is thought to be
greater than that Of any other nation. 1t is
more than that Of Great Britain; nearly three
times that of Germany; $l7O,000,O0 more
than that of France; nearly twice that of
Austria, and about $50, 900 900 more than that
Of Russia. With the exception of the
Netherlands, we have more paper money per
capita than any other country, our proportion
being about SIS, and that of the Netherlands,
$20.45. The paper circulation III Great Bri-
tain is only ST 81 per capita; of Germany,
S5.3s; Of France, $l2,65; of Austria
50; of Russia, Sc. 20. Of coin in circulation
Switzerland has a larger amount in ~circula-
ton than any other nation, it being S34.31
per capita; Belgium coming next with $32. GU;
then France with SILL; Great Britain viii,
$22.50 while the United States has less than
SIS. Russia has but $1.27, and Italy $l.3S of
specie per capita. Taking specie and paper
money together, France stands first, having
"a circulation OF $44.O6 per capita; next Bel:
GUM with 81. 55 then the Netherlands with
$42.24. The entire circulation of the United
States is about 1913 per capita, and That OF
Great Britain, Poll. Italy, with a popula.
ton of nearly 2T,0O0.OOO, has a circulation OF
only S6.42, which is smaller than that of any

The following excerpt, which We take from
the Bullion Miner, expresses the sentiments
of a large majority of the people Of Montana.
Our isolation, or rather because we do not
enjoy the privilege of voting for presidential
electors, renders us comparatively Indifferent
to the result Of the late canvass III the states.
Inasmuch as We have carried Montana for
Maginnis our ambition as residents of a ter
ritory is, in a political sense, satisfied. Our
tlocks, herds and bonanzas will increase and
yield as usual, regardless of the political COM
plexlon Of the next administration. We can
stand all its foolislness if it does net give our
territory to the land sharks who stand ready
to sgohblc' it up.
In a business sense, it makes no difference
now which party wins the election, because
the people have decided that there shall be
! no change in the fiscal policies Of the govern
ment. The American system that has grown
| up under a protective tariff is TO be continued,
and our currency is not to be altered in con-
dition OR amount. We are to have as much
gold aud silver coined and put in circu alton
as the people will take, and our paper curren.
cy is to be based upon the coin circulation as
10 value, and used only as IA supplement- fol
commercial exchanges. Such a declaration
of tht- will 0f The people III advance of the
general election cOnviilceS all parties thal
peace and prosperity are hot TO be disturbed

In a Milwaukee, street Car, The Other day, 4
near-sI9hted ma was seated near the fare
box, reading a newspaper, when a lady passed
up the aisle and accidentally dropped her
handkerchief in his lap as she paid her fare.
She did not notice her loss, and, after she had
taken her seat, a gentleman sitting opposite
the near sighted person touched him with his
cane to call his attention to the handkerchief
The near sighted man looked, saw the white
handkerchief in his lap, and Immediately COW
cled IL up with his paper, blushing as he did
so. Then he inserted his hand under the
paper, tucked the handkerchief out of sight,
and went on reading.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER o, 1880.
+

Thursday. November 25th, is designated by
the President as a day of national thankssiv.
ing. The fattening of turkeys for the occa.
sion is now in order.
We stated the otner day that Charles Fran
els Adams was for Garfield. 1t now turns
out that the man our dispatches referred to
was the Adams. jr. He has always been a
republican. Adams, senior, who supported
TiIden, is for Hancock. Therefore the de-
mocracy neither lose nor gain anyone in the
Adams family.
Sanders, IN his Deer Lodge speech, referred
TO Matt. Carol as one of three who would
substantiate his denial of his participation in
the attempted Fort Union fraud. we have
seen a telegram from a responsible party at
Helena who says Mr.. Carroll says he knows
the man who paid $500 to the messenger who
carried the fraudulent votes to "Uncle Edger-
ton"
The Rev. DR.. L. r. Brewer, rector of Trim
ity church, Watertown, N. Y, was elected
Bishop of Montana by the convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church recently i'll sts-
sion in New York City. Montana is made a
separate field. Bishop Tuttle is assigned to
Utah and Idaho. The new bishop is a fine
orator and a classical scholar, but Montanians
will regret to lose the services of Bishop
futile, whose devotion to his church, elo-
quence in the pulpit, and genial social quail
ties have eudeared him to the people Of the
Territory.
The Hon. Sam Word, III his speech deliv-
cred at Walkerville, stated that Sanders had,
in 1864, attempted to overcome McLean's
1900 majority by a fraudulent vote, purport-
ing to come from Fl. Union. In his speech
at Deer Lodge city Sanders denied this
charge, but in his speech at Helena last Sat
urday night he never referred to it. This is
what the Independent says about his .passing
the matter over:
at is a remarkable fact that in Sanders
one hour and a half speech last night he new
er referred to the above. He was doubtless
aware that there was at least one man in the
audience who could stand up and give him
the history ofthat attempted fraud"
From the E]usbandmdn we gather the fol-
lowing in regard to the financial condition Of
Meagher county. The table shows how rap
idly that county has increased in taxable
property in the last our years:
Taxable property in lS76.........S 657,592

tainly Baton RoIIgo b one which viii
preserve our kindrSt remembrance. The
Highland city, us it is appropriately
called, is by no means backward Of the
Larger cities in tile comfort, facilities and
hospitality afforded the Traveller or visit

be utItIIl Little city, land mark of the
long ago. we gazcd with pleasure 1T the
quaint appearance of the 0ld town, it's
crooked streets pcCuliarI y constructed, its
moss covered cdiIiccs, all of which forced
upon our imagination the time aud the
period, the occasion and circumstances
when Slldcll, Sonic, Bcnjamin and others
equally noted were wont to make them
selves conspicuous in the grand old
Capitol, which is now being rapidly re-
stored to its original beauty.
In Baton Rouge rapid improvements
arr taking place. The march of progrrss
is as manifest there as in our larger and
more pretontionS cities IIcaIthiIy sit
uatcd, with u location almost sublime,
inhabited by Il charitable and cIivaIrols
people, can it be questioned that the

that the freshness in the east" will soon
gather IN all its brightness upon the

MALICIOUS MlsCIuEr.-On Tuesday
night, some reckless and wilfnl indivi-
dual passed up Boulevard street and
took the gate from Mr. Lytle's front
yard and pitched it in the street. Mr..
H., as is we'll known, has the most beau
tiful flower garden in this part of the
country, containing shrubbcry, which
has been carefully trimmed and trained
for years. As might have been expected,
cattle came in and almost destroyed the
lovely flowers, and so mutilated the
shrubbcry as to require four or five years
growth to attain its former beauty.
