THE rUrURE OF BUTTE.

The Miner published at Butte, Mon
lana. makes a most excellent showing for
its locality, in IN article under the above
canton. The town is but five or six
wears old, and has grown more rapidly
than any place in the northwest. Its
present population is estimated at 5000.
There are l4S stamps in motion in the
district, and the Miner asserts that there
will be employment for 1900 when
so per cent of the promising mines of the
neiqhborhood shall have been developed.
This would insure the greatest mining
center known to the history of America.
The Comstock in its palmiest days never
supplied more than half that number.
But Butte is undoubtedly a prosperous
place with magnificent resources, and
may possibly eclipse the brilliant achieve
ments of the worlds most productive
lode-the grand old Comstock. We
shall be glad if it does.

INGRATIS.

Speaker Sharpe proved his ingratitude
by Abandoning Conkling at the eleventh
hour. Governor Cornell, another little
man created by Conkling, was unfaithful
throughout the late contest. Both will
go into political bankruptcy as soon as
their present term shall have expired.
Referring to the course of Sharpe, the
Albany Argus says: "When Gen. Sharpe
was made Marshal Of the Southern Dis
trict of New York in 1869, Mr.. Conkling
was Senator. When Gen. Sharpe was
made Surveyor of the port of New York
in 1872, Mr.. Conkling was Senator.
When Gen. Sharpe was sent to the AS

be contested when the Senate meets next
Fall. The law declares that the person
who receives a majority of the votes of

and voting, shall be declared duly elected.
As there are 80 Senators and l28 Assem-

Cartbv called attention to the imprisoned
Land Leaguers, asking for an opportunity

Gladstone replied, after some delay that

denounced the conduct of the Ministry in

were the true authors OF the Land bill,

instice of the claims put forward on be-
half of the tenant farmer and the absolute
necessity of reform. For this conduct
Mr.. Parnell declared the Ministry and
Parliament to be tyrants and oppressors.
Mr.. Gladstone and Sir Stafford Northcote
