The Montana Marshalship.

WAsHINGToS, Feb. 5.4E. A. Kriedler,
whom the president appointed marshal
Montana to succeed, Botkin, is from New
York. On this acc unit an effort has
been made to interest Senator Warner
Miller in Botkin's removal. Gov Crosby
sought an interview with him to-day,
and laid before him reasons why Botkin
should be ousted. Senator Miller SAYS
he regards Mr.. Kriedler an excellent
man for the place, but he wishes to haze
nothing to do with the attack on Botkin,
and viii not interfere in the matter. An
amusing disposition is apparent among
the Democratic Senators, who relish Bot
kin's plight immensely They aythey
want nothing better If KriedIer's APP
pointment goes over till march It'll, than
to come into power and.find a good Office
like the Montana marshalship, with
proven charges. Of misconduct made by
Republicans against Republican iacn-
bent. The more places they can find in
this condition the better they will be
pleased. Senator Edmnnds to-day told
Senator Sawyer that Mr. Botkin would
have fair trial before the judiciary
committe dis he would have in any court
i'll the land. This pushes the matter
over a month as certainly as il can be
done. There il some expectation That
Afr. Botkin viii come to Washington and
! conduct his defense in person.

No one hrs as yet successfully proven that
a laborer has receivd more than he fairly
earned no one has as yet successfully
proven that newspaper publisher in
Montana has received more for public
work performed than the character Of
the work demanded. Those anxious for
economy in public disbursements should
first fit themselves into complete
knowledge of the work, the material 10
be used, the laborers to be employed,
existing prices for other or like work in
that neighborhocd and then apply a fair
price. For doctor to advise a mustard
plaster for consumption, lawyer to
counsel a client TO enioIr his partner be-
fore justice of the peace, is just as wise
as for some new arrival from the east,
or old timer with states prices ringing in
his ears, advocate prices for work to be
done in Montana at such rate as places
the job so low as no one will touch it un-
less it be some irresponsible party, and
the result is displeasiIg.
