Arthur Johnstoos Editor and Pop'n


LACK Of space this morning compels
us to allow some editorial comments
on Legislative matters to stand over
until another issue. There was tend
ency in the Legislature yesterday, how
ever, which we think deserves passing
comment We refer to what we con.
slider somewhat indiscriminate cut
ting in the salaries of certain Govern
ment officials. We do not think that
salaries ought to be raised, in any case,
without good reason, and the action OF
the Assembly in keeping the salaries at
the old figures, as far as possible,
is commendable. We think, how
ever, that the members make mistake
when they cut salary from suffic-
iency to an insufficiency as in the case
of the salary of Collector for the Port
Of Mahukona. Three thousand dol.
lars may be too high, but seven hun
dred dollars is certainly too low, and we
believe that such course will tend tc
make smuggling port Of Mahukona
which ship captains and others will
soon take advantage Of The danger
lies in paying an official so little for do

| Some confinement, little reasoning,
great deal Of menace, and natural

all the effect which her father could

THE CAMPBELL A 5

The verdict OF the jury in the Campbell
divorce case is what would be called on
this side of the Atlantic a bucket of white
wash. LAZY Campbell sued for a divorce
from her husband, alleging cruelty on his
part. The case occupied the attention OF
the court several weeks, during which time
the private life of the parties litigant was
inquired into, exposed and held up to the
ridicule of the world. If our dispatches
gave the full verdict, it would appear that
the jury lost sight OF the matter at issue,
and turned it's attention to the re-
pairing of damaged regulations. It
very gravely atated that neither
Lord Colin nor his wife had committed
adultery, and that General Buffers con-
duct was u%nbecoming a gentleman. As
General Butler was not on trial this opin-
ton concerning the gentleman is g~ratuit-
GUS. The jury failed to express In opinion
about the Duke of Marlborough, Chief
Shaw and DR.. Bird, and also failed to state
whether Lady Colin wat entitled to a de-
cree OF divorce Or not. Verify English
juries are fearfully, mysteriously and won
de1fully made. Judge Butt, however, took
it upon himself to dismiss the petitions
for divorce and taxed the costs upon Lord
Colin. Thus ends the nasty affair.

JOHN DILLON.

In the Language of the late great Union
General, John Dillon proposes to fight it
out on the line he has chosen if it takes all
winter and next summer. His arrest by
the British authorities and his bearing and
that of his following since thatevent makes
an era in the wal for the repression of
Irish equality in the British Empire. Not
that Ireland has really ever been in a po.
sition of equal voice in government, but
that there has long been a pretense oil
equality for her. This appearance of sis
terhood was certain to eliminate in real
fraternity among the so-called British isles
unless stamped upon by those who have
never really regarded it as anything more
than a sham kept up for their own advan-
tage. Mr.. Dillon's offense is the naturally
lawful'and meritorious act OF preventing
discord, and probably b%loodshed, by act
ing as a voluntary intermediary between
tenants and landlords by collecting for the
latter all that the former can pay. But
aristocratic English proprietors will not
tolerate any interposition between their
authority and the toilers whom they think
they "own and possess" and, the race oi
Jeffries not being extinct, there is no lack
OF judge-made law to serve their ends.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

The report OF health officer, DR..
Hough, sets at rest the charge of the Inter
Mountain that contagious diseases pre-.
vail in Butte and that the city is un-
healthy. The report is in response to a
wish on the part of Mayor Frank that the
Doctor should investigate the charges made
and report to him. Here is what DR..
Hough says: "In reply to your inquiry
concerning the health of the city, 1 am
pleased to inform you that, SO far as 1 can
learn, there has never been in the winter
months SO little sickness as at present.
1 have never known a case OF disease of any
character that could be attributed to the
smoke which SO frequently envelopes the
city"
This report comes at an opportune
moment and will correct the unfavorable
impression concerning the health Of the
city, which grew out of the unfounded
charge made by the Inter Mountain. As
stated by The MINER a few days ago the
sanitary condition Of the city is good, ard
the fears expressed by a few that the
smoke which occasionally envelopes the
city contains the germs of disease are
g~roundless.

H BILL.

Although the effort to bring up the Nor
rison bill in the house the other day failed,
it still lies on the speakers table in shape
to be brought forward whenever that body
is in the humor to discuss the tariff ques-
ton. The Republican members think that
with the aid of the few Randall Democrats
they will be able TO defeat it when it does
come up. Their plan as more or less clear
ly foresbadowed in Washington kilograms
is to supplant the Morrison bill with one
placing sugar and spirits used in the arts,
on the free list but repeating the internal
revenue tax on tobacco. The sugar section
would cut down the revenue $50, 600, 900.
The repeal of the tobacco tax would re-
duceit $2S, 900, 900 more, and another ten
million would be got by making whiskey
free for use in the arts. This makes a total
reduction Of $ss, 600, 600, and would wipe
out about all OF the surplus. OF course the
Randall men will stick to the programme
recently adopted, and insist upon the pas
of Hewitt's amendment to the Nor
rison bill, to correct certain errors in the
present tariff law. They will not agree
with the Republicans in placing sugar on
the free list.
