SOLUTION.

If the resolution introduced on Mon
day BY DougIerty, of Florida, could pos
sibly be allowed consideration in the
House and take legislative shape, il
would remove several much-yexed eHes-
tiops from the field Of discussion III the
campaign. 1t would dispose of the
growing surplus trouble by removing all
internal revenue taxation save a slight
tax on whiskey. It would dispose of the
pension question in a summary but sat
isfactory manner by making it payable
out of an income tax levied upon all in
comes over 5000 per annum. 1t would
dispose of the protection quarrel by al
lowing every kind of goods not grown or
manufactured in this country to be inn
ported from abroad duty free. It is really
a most comprehensive solution Of the
difficulty and from its simplicity deserves
more consideration than it will receive.
But its reference to committee c0nsigns
it to a long rest where it will never be
heard from again. The Democrats will
not call it up because it runs contrary to
their idea of tariff reform and the Re-
publicans are not anxious to see it pass
because then they would have nothing to
fight about.

THE WAYS AND MEANS REPoR,

The WAYS AND MEANS
At the Council meeting last night the
report of the Committee on Ways and
Means. which was submitted and which
is printed in full in the proceedings
showed the limit to which the city can
proceed in bonding the city even
under the enlarged powers of the
reincOrp ration act, to be only 2
per cent. of the assessed valuation. The
Chairman makes a very energetic plea
for an effort on the part of the Council to
procure special legislation at the next
session of the Legislature to have this
limitation taken off, at least to an extent
that will enable this city to enter upon
those necessary works Of city improve
ment, the lack of which is 50 keenly felt.
The showing he makes of the needs of
the city is one that will be sustained by
every nan of progress in Butte. He
handles the subject without gloves and
should be sustainedin his position bypub-
lie sentiment so that the Council can feel
encouraged to pursue the course he rec
ommends. In the meanwhile. the Coun-
ell have a certain limit within which
NC fan anu being sustained by the
most eminent legal advice they should
lose no time in taking the initiatory
steps to commence those public improve
ments as far as they can at present pro-
coed.

Arrangements of the Union to Celebrate
It's Tenth Birthday.
Ten years ago to-day the Butte Miners
Union was organized, and since that time
the recurrence of the day has been duly
and appropriately observed by the mem.
bers OF the organization. 1t is by
consent a general holiday, and the commu-
nifty at large join with the miners in the

propitious, will witness the most extern
sive demonstration the Union has yet in
.dulged in. 1t is to-day stronger numeric.

begins at 8 O'Clock with a parade through
the city, the Union being accompanied by
TWO bands, the Emmett Guard and the
Montana, Boston & Union Guard. The
procession will pass Through CenteryiIle

some twenty well known gentlemen. at the
conclusion OF the parade there will be a
meeting at Miners Union Hall al which adj

! fitting finale to the events of the day. In
accordance with custom the mines in the
amp will be closed down in order that the
'mplotss may have an opportunity to par.
iclpate in the celebrations.

THAT ISLANDER ON CLEVELAND.

The revelations concerning the das
tardly ISLANDERS circulated about Presi
dent Cleveland and his noble wife grow
worse and more Bladder as their true i'm
wardness is revealed. The origin Of thu
ISLANDERS has been traced to a drunken
Democratic politician in Washington
who asd a real or fancied grievance
against MIR. Cleveland. The New York
Herald says:
They we're at once and eagerly taken I'm
by Republicans who took care to give 1T
tirst as the excuse for relating the scandal:
1T is not our story-it comes from a Dem
ocratic source-we only relate what a Dem.
ocrat has told to whoever would ~listen.n So
they eagerly and persistently circulated the
tales and some OF them have not stopped
there. Not content to stab in the dark. the
wretches who circulate these scurrilities
have taken pains hat their tales should
reach and wound both the President and
Mrs. Cleveland. y = y Mrs. Cleveland
has borne this inhuman persecution like a.
brave and happy woman, as she is. But it
10 time Tor honorable men and women who
know the truth to speak out, whether she
and her husband consent or not. There
not q word or atom of truth in these
stories.
Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-16

ACCORDING to the New York Times the
person who wrote the vulgar pamphlet
abusing the President that wa circu.
lated at st. Louis during the Convention
Is william J. Berry, a reporter of the New
York Tribune, in connection with which
that Journal adds: "The conductors Of
that journal (the Tribune) have known of
the dirty business in which Berry is en-
gagged for some time past, and one of the
heads Of its counting room, just before
ne went to st. Louis, gave him money for
his expenses on the trip. This informa-
will surprise no one who
knows the devious courses of the Tribune
and the dire necessity of preventing the
nomination of President Cleveland which
its conductors have felt"
