TERRITORIAL oFrIcERs.

The Council yesterday reconsidered its
action In the rejection Of Joseph p. Wool
man, for Auditor, and confirmed him by q
vote of 5 to 4. The name Of w. Egbert
Smith, Of Butte, was also sent in yesterday
for Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and to-day the nomination was rejected BY q
vote Of . to 4. There was never worse blow
struck at the school interests Of Montana,
and never q better man rejected for Office.
The fact that Prof. Smith holds the Federal
Office Of Postmaster at Butte, was alleged as
the ostensible reason, but other influences
exerted more weight The four votes for
him are said To have been Browne, Mitchell,
Aiken and Kerley, and those members have
reason to be proud OF the record. The
name Of Robert II. HOWE, Principal Of the
Helena schools, was subsequently sent ii for
superintendent and he was confirmed.

DIvERTING THE BOND SINKING FUND.
House Bill No. 81, which became law
without the Governors approval, relates to
diyerting the "sinking fund" set apart for
redemption of the Territorial bonds to the
general or warrant fund. 1t provides when
hereafter there is surplus Of 81 900 or more
over the accrued interest in the sinking fund
the Treasurer shall advertise that he viii re-
deem outstanding Territorial bonds to that
amount, and if none are presented within
thirty days, or If they are not equal to the
moneys he has on hand in that fund, he shall
at the end Of the thirty days turn the money,
or the balance Of 1t, into the general fund.
After the bonds become absolutely redeema-
bic BY the Territory all sinking funds are to
desoted as they accumulate to redeemlng
bonds.
House Bill No. 81, now q Law, provides for
the diverting Of county sinking funds in the
same way when $500 accumulate.

Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
A comparatively new phase Of the work
ing of the protective tariff system is pre-
sented In the fact that a British manufae-
turing firm is about to transfer its Industry
operatives, machinery and ALTO this
city. There is no objection to this being
done, and nobody has any right to com
plain Of It. We should gladly welcome the
incoming OF foreign enterprise and capital.
But It shows how the peculiarly "protee-
tive" intent Of the high-tarif policy IS re-
CARDS american industry" may be circum-
vented. We can keep our foreign goods,
but we cannot exclude tie foreign manu-
facturers of goods. By simply transferring
their mills and the hands employed in them
to this country they obtain immediate &C
cess to the American market, from which
we have been trying to shut them out, while
at the same time they retain their hold on
the foreign market. Our Chinese wall Is
barrier more or less effective against pro-
ducts, but not against producers. 1t repels
commodities, but not the makers Of COM
mOdittes.
II this bodily Introduction of British In
dustrial establishments into the United
States promised to cut down the prices of
certain classes OF manufactured goods for
which the people are compelled to pay eX-
brilliantly, it would be great boon to the
country. 1t may have that effect to some
extent. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that they VIII enjoy TO the fullest de-
gree the advantages of the tariff-squally
with those of our own citizens wio are en-
gagged in manufactures-and it is to be ex
pected that they will get all they can for
their wares, the same as our home folk do.
Little II any relief is to be anticipated from
that source. The old principle Of competi-
ton has given way 10 the new policy of
combination, which the moderate thrift of
capital has found so much more profitable
all around than the cut throat plan.
Oar navigation laws are beginning TO
operate in a somewhat similar way with the
high tariff. While the tariff, SO far from
throwing a special protection about the
American laborer as its original advocates
and promoters pretended it would do, bas
on the contrary offered a standing induce
ment to the immigration Of competing labor
from abroad, and is now bringing in the
foreign manufactures too, the prohibition
of registry to foreign built ships is forcing
American citizers to buy interests in for
eign bottoms In order to obtain a share In
the profits OF the ocsan carrying business.
Both systems are unnatural and in defiance
of the norma, laws of trade, and the facts
referred to show how each fails of the pur-
pose of its institution.
