at the Yellowstone Metropolis.
The TRIBUNE las received by mail q
circular from the Miles City Typograph-
zeal Uuion, in which the members,
referring to the recent card of the pub
fishers of the Journal and the Press,
say:
From the above article, the general In
ference would be drawn that the Miles
City typographical union had been this
means Of causing both enterprises 10 sus.
pend the publication of their daily
papers. This is absolutely false, as there
has been 10 attempt by the union to In
crease, or by the publishers to decrease
wages. Our wages were fixed long before
union was thought of. The true reason
of the suspension is that the town would
not support two daily papers, and tho
publishers take this way OF throwing the
blame upon our union.
We takethis means of generating 0t1r1
selves, aud are willing To leave the result
to the judgment If all far minded
people.
THIS is signed: "Members Of the Miles
City Typographical Unicn," and is at
least \ strai igl,tf0rward aad coucise state-
ment Of their side of the case. The
TRIBUNE has also received the
following telegram:
MILES CRY, Feb. 13.-Printers had
better give Miles City wide berth, as
the union of this cityls determined to
have justice done them. They demand
only fair pay for their work, and propose
To fight it out on that line if it takes all
summer.

sURPRIslNG FIGURES.
Estimate of the Nunaber Of Bismarcks
Visitors FOR One Year.

VISITORS 1Or O0e = ear.
Figures are like skeletons. Statistics,
indeed, are the skeletons of fact. Stats.
tics are realities condensed. There is
nothing imaginative about them. They
are generally juiceless and unattractive.
And therefore, like skeletons, they are
generally avoided by all, except those
whose business it is to deal with them.
Yet sometimes a little mathematical
exercise applied to facts that have become
familiar and commonplace, brlghtens
them, and gives them new interest.
The records of the Sheridan house show
the number of people who arrived and
registered there during the past year to-
have been 19.200. Estimating that one.
half that number arrived at the Merchants
during the same period, and one-half as
many at the Western and at the Custer
respectively !; and rating the arrivals at
the International, Pacific and Metr0poli-
tan at each one-lhird Of the number at
the Sheridan, the aggregate Of arrivals In
Bismarck for the year is shown to be
81 200. Probably no exceptions will be:
AIKEN to these estimates, unless il be ia
the cast. of the Merchants, which may
fairly be presumed to have entertained
a considerably larger number Of guests
than it is here credited with. Now: all
these transient people spent more or less
m ,ney in Bismarck. Not only our hotel
keepers. but our merchants and our trades
men OF every class received cash benefit
from this ebbing and flowing population.
Eastern parties who were contemplating
the:e figures yesterday expressed much
surprise at their magnitude, and regarded
The showing rs a so!id evidence Of Bis,
marck's commercial importance.
"A little figuring IN other directions
would show like marvellous results. For
real estate during the year might be u IL
lied as boom matter Of very effective
aOrt.
