The National Administration.

The National Administration.
Notwithstanding the earnest wish
es Of It's enemies and the machina-
tions of some Of its professed friends
the new Democratic National Admin
istration comes out Of its first six
months trial unscathed. 1t stands
before the American people as ap-
proved in every respect. All the
State conventions thus far held have
given it warm approval and en-
thusiastic endorsement. Indeed, the
only disgruntled element, setting
aside the Republicans, is the portion
of "old fashioned Democrats" as
they style themselves, who think
that the turning out and turning IN
processes with regard to the offices
have not been pushed as fast as they
desired.
No one inside the Democratic ranks
con tends for a moment that Mr..
Cleveland is not giving us good
and pure government, or that he has
not introduced, as he promised he
would, business methods in all the
Departments, and made appoint
ments in accordance with the pied
ges of the National Democratic plat
form. Some mistakes have been
made, 1t is true, but in every In
stance these have occurred from the
presidents yielding to the urgent re-
quests of Congressman, Senators and
sworkers" generally, who wanted
their friends put into office for parti-
san purposes. Those who are in
such hot haste to "turn the rascals
out" that they or their friends may
get in are to be held accountable,
therefore, for these misjoinders, and
on them must rest the odium. The
Administrator has not lost caste
with the the great non office holding
public, nor will 1t, so long as it pur
sues the straight path forward and
manly courses in which it has per
sisted thus far.
No one expects that the Republi
can party leaders will give Mr.
Cleveland and his Cabinet any praise
for showing up such a condition Of
things as existed in the Interior De
partment in relation to public lands,
and which Secretary Lamar has Sc
vigorously set to work to remedy
or that which Secretary Whitney
found in the Navy Department and
set to rights so unflinchingly; for il
revealed the corruption and bad bus
mess methods for which they were
responsible. But We have a right tc
demand from the Democratic lead
ers and Democratic editors that
need Of approval which is ever &C
corded to good, honest work for the
general welfare. In regard to the
filling Of the offices, we have a right
to expect from them good counsel
for the executive, proper recommen
dations of proper men and patient

Death of VIZ y. May.
Republished by request:

hepuDilsneu Dy request.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 80, 1885.
1t becomes my sad duty to an
nounce to yeu the death of one Of
the early settlers of Arkansas. Col.
VIM. B. May died at the residence
OF his son in-law, Mr.. T. Masterson,
this city, on the 25th inst, from an
attack Of paralysis. His last hours
were soothed by the presence and
tender care of loving children and
sympathetic friends-with the best
medical aid that could be procured,
who did all that kindred and skill
could do. His funeral services were
held in st. Johns Episcopal church
in the city of Oakland, and the large
and mournful cortege that followed
his remains to the lovely "Mountain
View cemetery, in the beautiful
City of Oakland was composed of his
affectionate children, relatives, and
friends. very many Of the latter hav-
ing journeyed quite long distance
from the town of San Pablo where
he had lived for 80 years, and where
he was honored and respected by all
who knew him.
While witnessing these last sad
rites / was reminded of the fact that
l alone of all this vast concourse OF
mourning friends knew him In dear
old Arkansas, when the bright hopes
and high ambition of early manhood
were his, and realized that in that
southern home were yet many rela-
tiyes and warm friends who cherish
ed fond and faithful recollection of
the kind and genial VIM. b. May of
early days.
The subject of this article was
born in Dixon county, Tenn, Oct 80,
1919. Was the son of Thomas and
Rebecca May. who in 1888 removed
to what was then a portion of Pope
but now Johnson county, Ark. Col.
Mays first wife who died long since,
was Sarah Perry, daughter Of Chas.
Perry of Little Piney. she had sever
al children all of whom are dead but
one daughter. At the breaking out
OF the Mexican war he at once join
ed the Clarksville company under
command of Capt. G.. Washington
Patrick, and with gallantry fought
throughout the war. He came to
California via the Isthmus in 1850
and at once engaged actively in min
ing with fair success, until a good
opportunity was offered and he en-.
gagged in mercantile pursuits.
In 1853 he was living in Weaver
vile, Trinity county, where he was
prevailed upon by the democracy to
become a candidate for the state sen
ate and was elected by handsome
majority. In 1855 he located near
San Pablo, Contra Costa county, and
engaged in farming and stockraising,
owning at the time of his death a
valuable ranch Of some 500 acres.
In 1852 Col. May married his second
wife, Miss Mary f. Inskesp, whose
maiden name was also Perry, and
who preceded him to the grave a
few years ago. BY this union he
had two daughters and one son, the
latter Edward Frederick May of this
city, a most promising and worthy
young man, and in appearance the
very picture of his father.
Col. May was a man of rare native
ability, strong personal character
warm and generous impulses and
honored and respected by all who
knew him, and as one near and dear
to him remarked--knew neither fear
nor dlshonor. A. II. WEBB.

The European War Outlook.

The prospect for war in the Balkan pen.
insula is strong. The king of Servia says
he must fight for more territory or abdi
cate his throne and he prefers the former
Greece also wants an extension of territory
and is ready to move on Turkey. The
latest expression of the great powers o1
Europe is that the union between Bulgaria
and eastern Roumelia should not be per-
mitted. This may conciliate Servia and
Greece but must surely cause Turkey to
bring a force to the frontier to coerce
Roumelia into return to her allegiance
The war spirit in Turkey is very strong
and great preparations are being made tt
take the field of active hostilities. Rus.
sia and Austria will probably remain neu.
tral-nominally at least-for a time and
perhaps till the conflict is over. But the
last Turkish war with the dependent prin-
cipalities drew Russia into the fight and
caused the re-arrangement of affairs in
that quarter of the globe that has led ur
to the present disruption. This may have
like effect. Turkey will eventually
cease to be European power but there
will be tremendous European war before
that event transplres.

The Ohio Election.

Ohio went republican according to her
custom. Judge Foraker is elected and so
is the entire republican state ticket. The
legislature is still slightly in doubt but
there is good reason to believe that the re-
publicans will have majority on joint
ballot and perhaps working majority in
both houses. The returns are not all in
but it is believed that Foraker's majority
is about $4,000. The prohibition vote
was about $4,000 and the greenback about
1000; the total vote of the state about
750,000-a little lighter than last year.
The prohibition vote is over twice as heavy
as ever it was before.

The New Surveyor-General.

Philadelphia Times: Some criticism
has been made of the appointment of Col
Greene, of Louisiana, to the Surveyor
Generalship of Montana, because of his
being a nonresident. He is a native OF
South Carolina, and is graduate of the
University of that State. He was strong
ly and personally recommended to the
President by Secretary Lamar, with whom
he was schoolboy. On the strength OF
this long, unbroken acquaintance and Mr.
Greene's unquestioned integrity and quail
ifcations he was selected. He has been
for many years prominently connected
with the railway system of the southwest,
and also been twice appointed Chief En-
gineer of the State of Louisiana. He is a
practical engineer and surveyor and will
leave with his family for his new field Of
labor highly recommended by Delegate
Toole to many of Montana's prominent
citizens.

Suicide at Billings.

On Thursday of last week Charles H.
Tate suicided in bath room of the Head
quarters hotel at Billings by shooting
himself through the head. He had been
at the hotel a day or two and there and
around the town exhibited unmistakable
signs of insanity though he appeared per-
fectly rational at times. He was man of
about % or 80 years, well-dressed, pre-
possessing in appearance and was we'll sup
piled with money. His home was at Viro-
qua, Wis. where he had wife and two
children and father who is quite wealthy.
He came to Montana with some idea of
of entering into business. No motive for
his suicide can be figured out. He was
not drinking while in Billings but it is
understood that during visit to Bozeman
few days before he took his life he was
on a protracted debauch and that may
have unsettled his mind.
