THE republican members Of the APP
preparation committee have taken heed
Of the lesson taught by the people last
month. and seem TO be i'll earnest in a
desire to cut down the estimates for next
year as much AS possible. One Of the
items they propose to cut down is the
estimate for public buildings, and if pos
sible they will not appropriate a dollar
for this purpose. There seems to be,
also, IN opposition 20 any large sums for
the navy. A member Of that committee
favors the following as the programme
for the present session Of congress: First,
reduce the appropriations to the lowest
possible point consistent with q proper
administration Of the government, so
that any democratic retfencllment, such
as we heard OF four years ago, will only
be possible by cripling the government;
second, remove ali internal revenue tax
es except that upon whisky, and take
off the tobacco tax entire; third, enact
some broad, simple statute as to the civil
service which will meet popular appro-
val, and incorporate into it the most
stringent penalties Is TO this political as
sessment business, inserting the whole in
an appropriation bill ii necessary !:
fourth, let the tariff alone and allow the
democrats to assume the responsibility
with regard to it which will belong to
them; fifth, settle the question of count
ing the electoeal votes beyond any posi-
BILE controversy, and then adjourn.

WE do not like to strike a young con-
temporary too hard, and will therefore
only say that the claim of the Butte
La5or Union of having the largest cireu-
aatIon of any newspaper in the territory
and it only two days old-is sadly out
of place, and q very iniudicious start-of.
We advise the editor not to fallinto Free
mans style if he wishes to make his pa
per q success. There is already u suspi-
eion that the new paper is Freeman's
publication in a new disguise, and such
big-winded assertions have a tendency
to confirm this. Such a suspicion, if ii
once takes root, can only hurt the new
enterprise, and we hope Bro. Carleton
will take warning in time and not give
it a chance to gain ground.

An English mother-in-law has
achieved a great triumph. She has
gobbled her daughters husband and
ran away with him. At the Thames
police court in London few DAYS since
a young lady of genteel appearance,
about Is or 10 years old, applied to the
magistrate for advice. She stated that
she had been married only very short
time, and that she had been very happy
with her husband until her mother,
who was a widow, came to live with
them. Her husbands manner then
changed toward her. He became cool
and off-hand with her, although his
manner TO her mother was very warm
and afieclionatc. She demonstrated
with him, but he only laughed at her,
and told her that she was only dream
ing. She did not like TO say anything
to her mother, but at last made up her
mind TO do so, but before she could get
an opportunity her husband aud her
mother eloped together. The fact that
her mother has money, while she has
none, she thinks is the cause of her
husbands bad conduct. The magis-
irate could do nothing for her.
