The proposed invasion of London by the
American manufacturers has been post
poned until 1887. It is now proposed to
open the exhibition in May next, and MAIN
tain it permanently. The exhibit will in
clude the arts, inventions, manufactures,
products and of the United
States. This is a movement to beard the
British manufacturer upon his own native
heath. One Of the first practical results OF
such an exhibition will be the establish
ment in London of a permanent American
emporium, whore Europeans will be able
to inspect and purchase American inven-
tions, manufactures and products as read
lily as fruits and flowers at Covsnt Garden
Market. As the United States Government
could not take the initiative in the organi.
cation Of an exclusively American exhibi-
ton in the metropolis OF a foreign country,
the exhibition is not under Government
control, and the necessary funds are raised
by stock subscriptions, az was done for the
organization of the Centennial Exhibition
in Philadelphia; but the United States Gov
eminent will be invited to send an exhibit
from it's unique collections at the Smithso-
MAN Institute and at the Patent Office. so
that there be an exhibit from Government,
States, corporations, institutions and pri-
vate firms. We have no knowledge of any
previous exhibition, organized under such
favorable conditions as the one to be held
in London next year. Steps should be
taken to have Montana represented at this
exhibition.

IT Is q big scheme which New York is just
embarking on. At the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen ON Wednesday last the
Neutrality-suspicious. was offered: "Reso1ved,
that q committee OF three be appointed by
the Chair to consider the ~adyisability OF
uniting the cities Of New York, Brooklyn,
Yonkers, Long Island City, and such ada
cent territory as may bethought desirable,
into one municipality. The said commit
tee shall have authority to confer with any
similar committee appointed by the au-
thorities Of any city or village to consider
the said subject" The result OF this would
be to make New York almost as large as
London in the matter OF population, and
commenting upon it the Star declares that
there are nearly as good reasons for
gathering the scattered portions of the
great metropolis into a single city as there
were for the union Of the States under the
Constitution a century ago." This is q
scheme that has been long under discussion
and one that finds much favor in and
about the metropolis. Sanitary and other
municipal reasons are constantly forcing
the subject upon the authorities and the
people and eventually the consolidation
will be made. If effected in time, New
York will cut q swath in the census of189O,
and Philadelphia will grow green with envy
and jealousy.

Mr.. ONEY CARsrARPHEN, Chief Clerk of
the Surveyor Generals office in Colorado,
one OF the best Democrats and best fellows
in the world, in an interview in the Denver
News, has the following to say in reference
to the perquisites of Surveyor-Ge Generals
Offices in the West: 1.-THE Surveyor-General
OF Montana, who is a OWL engineer and
who was in attendance upon the Civil En-
g~ineers' Convention, asked me about per-
quisites in Colorado and l told him there
were none. He said it was the same way
in Montana. He said when he was work
ing for his appointment he was under the
impression the Office was worth at least
$4,000, but during his incumbency he had
found out that it il just worth the salary
attached, 1850 a year, and nothing more.
The days OF princely fortunes being made
out Of Governmental Offices are past. The
left very little sop in the frying
pan in which they fried their generous ra.
Of Government ham," There is no
doubt that Mr.. Carstarphen sails very
nearly the truth. The Republicans emp
tied tho crib.

The story OF suffering and want that
comes from Labrador and Newfoundland
is appalling and appeals to the charitable
the world over, yet on the face of it we
find the narrow ideas OF construction and
red tape prevailing in the country that
should be the first to render aid. The
Canadian authorities do not blush to say
that they have not started a vessel to the
succor OF the stricken people, and to add
that they will not. The reason given is
that Canada has nothing to do with New
foundland. With them charity is bounded
by the Dominion possessions, and beyond
that line all peoples may starve aud die.
The statement is a credit to their selfish
ness but q black spot upon their humanity
and proves chat as cold as is the and in
which the people are freezing and dying,
Canada is still colder.

The Chicago Anarchists to the number
OF 1000 nave held q meeting and resolved
that since May 4 the press has with abso.
Lutte unanimity, clamored for the condem-
nation and execution of the eight Aparch-
lists on trial, although they have not yet
been heard in their own defense. The
resolutions further charge that the press
has not fairly and fully published the evi.
dence thus far adduced in the trial, particu-
larry the cross examinations. To the first
charge the press will surely plead guilty:
to the second it will enter an emphatic de-
NAL. There is no one but doubts that the
wretches ON trial are guilty Of the crimes OF
which they are accused, and that they
should pay the highest penalty. That their
partners in iniquity should try to create
sympathy for them is natural, bnt that in
30 doing they should arraign the press is
foolish. 1t has since that awful day voiced
public sentiment and behind it stands the
good wishes OF every law abiding citizen
and good man and woman in the land. No
matter what the result Of the trial the eight +
should be hanged and probably many
moro.

MIR. Stokes is accompanied by Mr.. Spruille
Braden, the assayer-in-charee of the United

The Senate should not adjourn until it
has considered and adopted or rejected the
Revised Extradition Treaty. It has been
prepared with great circumspection, and
those who have taken the trouble to peruse
it's provisions agree that they are whole
some, and should be put in force at the
earliest possible moment. The shield OF
International protection has been inter.
posed in behalf of scoundrelism long
enough. 1t should now be withdrawn, and
If this new agreement is adopted, Canada
will cease to be q place of refuge for thieves
and embezzlers, and the honest people of
the United States be afforded protection
which long since should have been accorded
them. While the duty OF the Senate in re.
gard to this treaty is clear, it is hardly ex-
pected that the members of that body will
turn aside from their present purpose to
adjourn at an early day and give it the i'm
mediate consideration it SO assuredly

INGALLS,, OF Kansas, is one OF the ablest
members OF the Senate. Though represent
ing one of the newest of the States OF the
Union, he represents the brains and intelli-
gence that one would expect from a Sena-
tor OF one of the New England States. he
has a ready flow OF language, is fertile in
resources in debate and can say exceed
ingly sarcastic and bitter things. His man
ner is exceedingly exasperating and tanta-
lizing, and we are not surprised that he
nearly set old man Miller, OF New York,
wild over the Oleomargarine bill.

THE MINER has been informed by credible
authority that it is more than likely that
e. w. Scott, General Agent of the Union
Pacific Railway Company at Butte,
is likely to be appointed Traffic Man
ager OF the Montana Union. A bet
ter appointment could not be made.
Mr.. Scott has had a long and varied ex-
perience at railroading, and his long resi-
dence in Montana and his intimate &C.
~quaintance with the local business would
seem to specially mark him as the mar
for the position. Though he has risen to
his present lucrative position through the
various gradations of service in the Union
Pacific Company he would be just and i'm
partial in this neutral position.

AS TO MR.. TooLE,s CANDIDACY.

There has been considerable speculation,
both in the newspapers and amonssthe
people, as to whether or not the Hon.
Joseph K. Tools would be . candidate for
reelection as Delegate to Congress-: Re:
Gently 1t has been rumored and the rumor
has been rather industrionsly circulated
that he would not be a candidate. THE
MINER a now say, upon the best OF au
thority, that Mr.. Toole leaves the matter
entirely in the hands of his constituents
If the people OF Montana feel that
he has properly represented them in
Congress. and they will tender him
a denomination, he will be willing
to serve them. On the other, hand,
if they feel that he has not fully represented
them, or that there is an eligible Democrat
who a poll a stronger vote, then he is
willing and ready to, step aside. In other
words, he would look upon q renomina-
ton as an approval OF his official
conduct and almost unworthy if sought.
He will engage in no contention for the
Office.
At this time it may also be az well to say
that all the rumors relative to animosities
between MI. Toole and Mai. Maginnls and
Col. Broadwater are utterly without foun-
datien. They are the chief stock in trade
Of the Republican organs, which are hugging
the dslusion to their breasts in q wild hope
of creating a breach in the Democratic
ranks. Nothing, however, could be farther
from the truth. These gentlemen are not
only upon the most intimate friendly rela-
tions, but should Mr.. Teole be renominated
the foremost campaigner in his behalf
would be Msi. Maginnis, whose manly
presence and ringing voice are a power in
the land. Maj. Maginnis and Mr.. Toole
have stood shoulder to shoulder at Wash
ington during the past session, working
in perfect harmony for the good of Mon
tana. It is not straining the truth in
the least to say that the East
side is almost unanimously in favor of Mr..
Toole's denomination and we have not as
yet heard q dissenting voice on the West
Side.
Only those SO biased and prejudiced
as to be unable to do the man Justice, or
those who would not do SO under any cir
cumstances, al deny that Mr.. Toole has
made a most successful and efficient Dele
gate. He has accomplished more than any
other Western member OF Congress in Sc
curing to his constituents local Federal
Offices and the various Territorial Interests
dependent upon Congress have received his
intelligent and unremittent attention. He
commands the respect OF every one con-
nected with affairs in Washington, and by
his suavity, his intelligence and his exem-
plary life has done credit to himself and
honor to Montana. The MINER IAN say
SO much fer a good and faithful servant
without prejudice to other aspirants for
the position il others there be.

universal satisfaction.

The text Of the new Treaty with England
has in some way got into the newspapers.
The Treaty itself is short, clear and ex-
plicit, requiring little explanation. 1t ia
highly creditable to Minister Phelps that
he should have succeeded in negotiating q
Treaty so important and 80 much de.
manded, after the failure of his predecessors
for nine years to accomplish anything in
the same line. His mastery Conformation.
al law and his great sagacity and tact have
been essential elements of a success that
is probably destined to be one OF the features
OF on present Administration. Tho
most notable gains that are made in the
interests of good government and eivilisa-
ton by the new Treaty are those enlareine
the hitherto absurdly scant provisions Of
own and the English laws for the ex.
tradition Of criminals, under which Canada
has become the paradise of our thieves,
defaulters and other scoundrels of that
sort. while the perpetrators OF the new dy.
Mantle deviltries have been too secure from
punishment.

TIE sale OF Gen. Grants memoirs has
been so large that second check for $3.50

netted. It is said that Mrs. Grant is in
trusting her financial affairs entirely to

Childs, A. j. Drexel and others, some un-
easiness. These old financiers have not

peal in behalf OF Warden McTague as the
successor OF James McMasters in the Office

MINER can only add it's hearty second to
such a nomination. 1t has already ex-
pressed it's good opinion OF Mr.. McTague.
Such opinion is based entirely upon his
record asa public officer, which is marked
by honesty and a conscientious discharge
of grave and responsible duties. We are
confident that if nominated, Mr.. McTague
will be easily elected.
