MONTANA'S OUTPUT.

A year ago last winter Congress appropria-
ted $4,000 for the collection Of statistics
touching the production Of precious metals in
the United States, the work of collecting
them being assigned to the Mint Bureau. The
work of the compilers was completed about
the beginning of the present Year, and was
transmitted to Congress by the Secretary Of
the Treasury OH the End Of last March. The
report makes a volume of nearly 400 pages,
and is probably as reliable as any work OF
the kind can be, considering the nature of the
statistics gathered. Mr.. r. b. Harrison, of
the United States Assay Office at Helena had
charge of the Montana reports. According to
his1epo-t Montana is credited with preduc-
ing precious metals of the aggregate Value OF
S., 900 600 for the fiscal year ended June 3Cth,
1880.
OF this amount S2,4QO,000 was in gold
and $2,5O0, 900 in silver. As a producer of
preciou. metals this Territory ranks fifth i'll
importance among the States and Territories
Of the Union, being exceeded by Colorado,
California, Neva la and Utah, the latter ex'
ceeding her output by ouly $4,000. In the
production of silver she stands fourth in the
list-Colorado, Nevada and Utah standing at
the head in the order named. In the produc
ton Of gold she occupies the fifth place--Cai-
iforna, Dacota, Colorado and Ncrada aoov
her in the order named. In all the States
aud Territories the output was $50, 5000 in
gold; $50 900 OF silver; total $T5,2OO,OOO.
SO far as Montana is concerned the accura-
cy of the above figures as representing her ac-
tual productions of the precious metals
may he justly questioned. The sam may
probably be said concerning other silver pro-
ducng States and Territories. The amount
of gold and silver received at the banks, ex-
press offices and assay offices, etc. Endoubs-
euiy has been a curstely tcrtaine6, but if
the estimate of the output Of the Territory has
been made upon the receipts at the places
mentioned alone, then the figures given for
Montana will fall far short of her actual pro-
duction. The great value OF the immense
shipments OF liYh Grade ores and matte when
reduced to doll.Is and cents would swell the
| amount OF her output tar beyond that which
the figures before us represent. Butte alone
| will SHOW, for tie present year, a great
er output Of silver than is cred
| lted to tie whole of Montana for
tie year above named, and We confidently
predict tina! when the statistics are compiled
| for the fiscal year ending Juns 30th, 1882, it
VIII be shown that Montana will then occupy
the second if OF the frs: rla ce i'll the list Of
silver producing countries. As it 10 our
territory need not feel ashamed Of her posi-
ton at tie present time. She has hardly
commenced Ler silver mining operations

UNJUST
lew :.

Democratic Journals have exhibited a
marked degree of charity to ward the Repub-
lican partylin Il retrsining to barge the death Of
President Garfield to one of its members.
While they were well aware that his assassi-
nation was the direct outgrowth of the strife
between the two factions Of the party in DOW
er, but few if any references have been made
to the fact by Democrats. They have re-
mained silent preferring rather that each
should draw his own conclusions touching
the responsibility of the Republican party for
the death of their leader. But the New York
Tribune, it appears, is disposed to invite the
harsh criticism of opposition journals. In =
recent issue it displays an ove2- vseuing COLI
fidsnce in the forbsarance of Democrats and
al utter disreg gard OF he sad lesson which
its party so recently received. Commenting
upon the election of David Davis to the pres
idency of the senate it exultinsly exclaim.,
sit is at least certain hat unreconstructed
rebellsm will not have any chance to grasp
executive power by shooting the President -
Senator Bayard does not deserve this implied
distrust Of his patriotism nor has the Demo-
cratic party earned the dirty fling made at it
In view Of recent events it seems that nur
dsrers OF Presidents find congo nial homo in
the bosom of party Of which the Tribune i,
an acknowledged leader and If President Ar
thur should be shot the dastardly act will be
committed byk Halfbreed and not by q
Democrat. The latter have no revenge to sat
sfy, nor anything to gain. Gin the lottery o.

OUR NORTHERN EIEIGHBORS

Brandon is the present western terminus
Of the Canadian Pacific railroad. 1t is situa-
ted on a commanding emnence on the South
Fork of the Assiniboine, and is the centre of
rich agricultural country. 1t is claimed
that for many years to come it will be the
base of supplies for all the country to the
Northwest, embracing Fort Ellice, tie Upper
Saskatchewan country and the mountain
mining districts yet TO be developed. 1t has
prosperous future in view Of the rich asri-
cultural, mineral and stock raising country
surrounding it. For a distance of over two
hundred miles to the east of the place the
average yield of wheat is twenty-siX and
one-haf bushels to the acre, while oats,
barley, potat toes and all other farm
productions, it is said, flourish
there III greater profusion than in Dakota.
The surprising feature Of the country is ac-
counted for by the fact that the long summer
days are uniformly warm and the soil rich
and quick.
Many Eastern people who have regarded
Montana as being too fHT north to be good
agricultural country will be surp> ised TO learn
that country situated several hundred miles
to the north of it is claimed to possess supe-
rior agricultural advantages over Dakota, and
| that the labor of the farmer is crowned with
abundant success. But such is tie fact. The
past few years have developed wonderful re-
sources possessed by what Was known once
! only as the Great American Desert, and
while Eastern and Southern people are SLOW
to credit them the time is fast approaching
when they will be recognized and appreci

The Geological surveys which have been
made in British Colussbis have thrown much
light upon the project of direct water COM
munication hetween the head of the Canadi-
and Northwest and England via Hudson Bay
and the Straits. The practicability of the
route is fully attested by the directors of the
survey aud other parties. Professor Bell,
whose report is nov going through the press,
sailed in one of the Hudson Bay Company s
steamers, leaving York Factory on the 13!h
of September, and passing the Hudson
S.rsts as late as the 23d of that month with
out meeting any obstacle whatever, and had
pleasant and comfortable voyage. While
passing the Straits the Thermometer indicated
AZ degrees in the shade. Should this route,
prove as satisfactory as predicted it will serve
as powerful check upon high transportation
rates en- the Canadian Pacific.

NO PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

Last year Commissioner Raum removed an
Internal Revenue official in Virginia for pub
licly supporting the Readjuster movement.
1t i. now stated Mr.. Raum will speak at Re-
adjuster movement this week. He was re-
Gently charged with the Inconsistency Of his
present attitude, but the Commissioner, being
a well-trained Republican OF the "always go
with the majority" kind, proves himself able
to meet any change of policy lraugurated by
his party. He said that last year he went
with the tide of Republican leader. and the
Administration against a coalition with Ma
hone, but now they are in favor Of it, hence
he is in favor Of it. Mr.. Raum recognizes 10
principle involved in the struggle which the
honest nsn Of Virginia is making to wrest
their State from the grasp Of the repudiators
of just debt. He only KNOWS that last year
tho leaders Of hi, party professed to hold Ma
heue and reputation in adherence, he"ce he
dst-s'ed them. This year the renegade and
his dogma are rolled as sweet morsels under
the tongues of the powers that be, therefore
Mr.. Raum discovers virtue in them and gulps
down the nauseationg dose.
Last year tie halt-bresd Simons said
''Thumbs up" and up went The thumbs OF
Messrs. Raam, Jorgensen and a host of Vir-
gins straishtouts, and Malone Was in dispair.
This year the sLalwart Simons say "thumbs
down." aud Messrs. Raun., Jorgensen and the
same slavsh crew implicitly ob"y and Ma
hone is i'll ecstacies. Commissioner Raum is
but the type Of a class of men whose love fer
office and power overcOmes their convictions
Of right. They are but tools to do the bid
ding Of their superiors. With them there is
no principle involved i'll politics. In their
opinion parties are organized merely to OBJ
tain positions of honor Or profit or trust for a
few.

The editorial career of any gen leman who
proposes to take charge of the United Ire
tand, the Land League organ, publ shed at
Dublin, bids fair to be very brief. The Gov
erhment has decided that it cannot seize the
plant OF the paper as it cannot prove the ex-
istence ola reasonable conspiracy with which
1t is connected, but it proposes to arrest any
one taking O'Briel's place as editor. James

The P4per World saws that the latest ap-
plication of paper is in tt adoption Of paper
plates by some Of the great restaurants and
cafes in Berlin. The innovation was first iu-
troducsd during the summer of last year by
ed opea-air restaurant. 1t saved the walters
many a deduction from their wages on ac-
count of breakage. There was also consid-
erable saving Oh the time lost and the chance
Of accident occurring in the cleansing. The
success of the experiment has been so marked
that the new species of plate is likely to be
introduced ints q great number of restaur-

Alaska is not The most desirable place in
the world in which to live. The absence of
gentle zephyrs; the scent of fragrant flowers
aud the sweet songs OF tropical birds in Il a.
hyperoorean region is too marked to attrac.
the average place hunter to its inhospitable
shores, hence the bill embodying a form of
government for that Territory will be very
simple. Several prominent men who are in

A late dispatch says that Mr.. r. t. Mer-
rick, the well-known lawyer of Washington
City, is of the opinion that the District Court
of that city is without jurisdiction in the Gui-
teau case, aud claims to have ample authori-
ty to sustain that view. He thinks it " ould
he much less iiscreditsble to the country that
the assassin should be lynched by the people
than hung by the court. Mr. Merrick may be
right and the court may refuse to recognize
the case, but the people will take cOshizance
of it should the assassin be let loose upon the
community through a technicality.

A Swiss jail.

People have often complained OF a
laxity of discipline and supervision in
jail in this country, but they appear to
be veritable bastiles compared with
that in the Canton Schwytz, Swtzer-
land. The only prison is farmhouse.
and the Jail authorities arc jailer,
police sergeant and nun. The two
former spend most OF their tine at some
neighboring baths. The prisoners go in
and out as they please, apparently only
remaining because they like il. The
nun is in the habit Of accompanying re.
pentant inianticides to neighboring
shrine. One criminal, u brutal MUIR
derer, sentenced about year ago 70 i'm
prisonment for lie, seems to have been
kept locked up until lie so won on the
nuns feelings by protestations OF piety
that she allowed him to work outside
like the rest. Early one morning lately
he was sent for water and, strange TO
say, cannot now be found.
