COMMUNIS1IC.

The circular that was distributed among
the people before the proceedings opened at
the monster meeting of the Irish-American
Land and Industrial League that was held at
Brooklyn on the night of the Sth inst, did
not, we are satisfied, reflect the opinions held
by the great mass who composed the assem-
bly,, or of ex-governors Seymour aud Tilden,
and Generals Hancock and Mcclellan, who,
by letters, approved of the real object OF the
gathering. The circular in question reads as
follows: ''Spread the light. What is good
for Ireland is good for America. Rent is
robbery. Landlordism is ~despotism. Down
with both of them. just rent must not
amount to more than taxes aud repairs VIII
cost" Against the first one ortwo declarations
10 objections may be urged, but the balance
are the frothings of rauk c~onmunlsm, TOR
which the Irish-American land leaguers are
not, nor should they be held responsible. Tue
purposes of tie meeting were incorporated IN
a series Of resolutions that it adopted. These
resolutions condemned tlp action OF the
British government and parliament toward
the people of Ireland, and expressed sympathy
with Parnell and Davitt. They also expressed
a wish that the Beers in Africa would sue
coed in their contest with the British. These
resolutions embodied the opinions OF those
who composed the vast assembly, and those
opinions were endorsed by such men as Wen
dell Phillips, Seymour, Tilden, Hancock and
Mcclellan. The communistic circular was
undoubtedly the secret work of a few indi-
yiduals who would gladly inauguiate a reign
of uncertainty or terror in free America, If
the collection of rent be robbery, the colicc-
ton of any just debt may be classed as a
crime. If the rule that rent must not amount
to more than taxes and repairs will cost
| should prevail the building of tencmen
| houses would cease, and those now built would
be closed. But it appears simple to advance
arguments against such manitestly absurd
propositions as those contained i'll the circular
we have quoted. We believe the ~Irsh-Amcr-
lean land leaguers throughoutthe country will
Indignantly protest against the action OF the
ill-advised communists who took the occasion
at the meeting noticed to give voice to theil
revolutionary ideas.

REPORTED FOR THE MINER BY THE MONTANA
CENTRAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
FROM ALL PARTS OF The WoRlr.
Snow Blockade.

March 12.-Once more are
trains blockaded with snow in every direc-
ton. The freight business is entirely sus-
pended and the passenger trains are all late,
the nearest on time being two hours behind.
! At Iowa City the snow was not deep, but
wet and heavy outside. 1t seems to have
been from 4 to ~ inches deep, and to have
extended west into Nebraska, and east into
Indiana, north as far as Minnesota, and south
as far as the southern portion Of this state.
The Northwestern, tie Pittsburg ~ Fort
WAYNE and some of the other roads centering
here. have succeeded in fairly clearing their
tracks to suburban points, but are blocked
most of their distance, while their connec-
tions and crossroads are utterly helpless.
The snow remains piled up from 4 to + feet
deep on the tracks where the cars run, and
as these are most densely crowded with
vehicles at all times, the crush on them is tire
mendous. On Madison, Randolph, State and
! Clark streets there is one continuous line of
waiting vehicles during the business part of
the day, and where intersections occur there
are serious delays and frequent accidents.
The street cleaning brigade are utterly. una
BILE to handle the vast amount of snow, and
only warmer weather will lift the partial
blockade and relieve traffic. Some fears are
expressed lest warm and copious rains may
clear the streets with q rush and cause a de-
s~tructive flood. A few mild days this week
suf1iced to inundate some of the neighbors in
the southwest portion of the city.

At Washington City, on the 9TH inst, a
large number of gentlemen from Colorado
met and organized a club. The banner of
the club is made of red and white satin, upon
which is inscribed "Silver is the coin of the
constitution, and we demand that the coin
and the constitution shall be respected" Con-
gresham Bedford made speech, in which lie
said that Colorado must stand up for her in
terests just as Pennsylvania had stood up for
hers, aud that she must declare that no lnan
shall hereafter receive her electoral vote who
is an enemy of her great silver interests.
Senator Teller in his remarks stated that
for the past four years Colorado
had had no friends at court that
every member of the cabinet and the presi-
dent had treated the silver interest in an
unfriendly way, but now a change had taken
place. The president and at least three men,
metallic standard, and that he had
hopes that General Garfield would extend
a friendly eye to the great interests of the
Tar west. We trust Senator Teller will not
be disappointed. If Montana were a state
she would stand with Colorado in demanding
a recognition of her interests. The voice of
the great west will yet be heard in the coun-
ellis of the nation. Its vast mineral wealth
annot be overlooked, and the varied indus
tries which it calls into active being will force
themselves to the notice OF those who are now
disposed to ignore them. 1t is a question OF
time only when the political power
of the union will rest with the great states
river, for "Westward the star of empire take:
its way"

A Destructive Blaze.

WAKEFIELD, Mass, March 12.-About l
O'Clock this morning a fine broke out in the
new chair room of the Wakefield Rattan
works, and soon spread to the large four-story
building, which was quickly destroyed. The
flames then attacked the large four-story
frame building occupied as a weaving room,
and it was soon in RUNS The loss will
probably reach $500 900. Nearly 1000 en-
ployes are out of work.

Republicans Confident.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The decided
opinion to-day is that the republicans will Or
ganize the senate on Monday. Such able
party managers as Conkling and Edmunds
would not, it is believed, direct the caucus
committee to prepare lists of senate commit
tees with republicans in the majority if they
were not sure of Mahone's vote. The repub-
lican senators assert to-day that they will get
the organization.

No Removals.

CINCINNATI, March l2.-The Commercially
Washington letter has the following interest
ing chat:
To-day an intimate friend and associate OF
President Garfield's called upon him and ask
ed for a certain office in Ohio. The gentle
man who made this request betriended Gar
field III his youth and has been his lifelong
friend. The presidents reply is important
as settling the question whether he will make
many removals among the minor classes Of
officers. He said the office in question was
not now vacant and he should make no re-
movals simply to make 9 place for some body
else in cases where an incumbent s~atisfact ORR
ly discharged bis duties. He SAID when the
commission of the incumbent in question eN-
Dired he would take into consideration his APP
p~lication but would not, ul der any circum-
stances remove Il good man from Office sim
ply to make a vacancy for somebody else.
This is now regarded as the settled policy of
the administration with regard to minor APP
polntments. Among higher grades of officials
there will be some changes but no wholesale
decapitation will take place.

A L Il.

In view of the near approach of the L. j.
Y. railroad to the heat of our territory,
which will place Montana journals in direct
competition with eastern newspapers, and in
view Of the great increase in the circulation
of tie MINER during the past few months,
we have decided to materially reduce the sub
scription price of the Daily MINER, thus
placing it within the reach of all. We have
for SOM time contemplated making this re-
duction in our rates, and the generous patron
are that has been extended to the MINER has,
we are pleased to state, enabled us to do it at
this early date. The MINER, as heretofore,
will maintain its position as the leading min
ing journal of the territory, and on all sub
,jects pertaining to the interests of Butte, and
of Montana and the country at large, it will
be found working in the van. We take this
occasion to thank the public for It's generous
support and to assure it that We shall always
endeavor to merit its continuance.
