THE NEW APPOINTEEs.

The appointments made by the new
City Council last evening will give gen.
eral satisfaction. C. j. Macarthur. The
new City Marshal, is a young man of ex.
cellent character, quick, active and cner.
getic, who will bring to the office he fills
frmness, decision and honesty-three
most essential requisites in dealing with
the criminal classes. It Is safe to say
that during his term of Office there will
be no leniency shown towards offenders,
nor, on the other hand, unnecessary
harshness.
Lou 2. Smith, the new Chief of Police.
is too well known in this community as
one Of tho best i'eace officers that ever
served Silver Bow or Deer Lodge counties
to need extended comment. His thor
Ough acquaintance with all classes of
criminals, his sound discretion and un-
impeachable honesty render him the best
man the Council could have selected for
the position.
Bernard McGinty, the new City Clerk,
Is a gentleman Of superior ability. He
was twice elected as a Democrat from
Lafayette County, Wis.,, to the Wisconsin
Legislature. where he also served as Sar-
yeant-at-Arms and bears the highest

TRADE.

AMERICAS LAsr YEARS FOREIGN
TRADE.
Several detailed statements OF imports
and exports during the calendar year 1888
in comparison with proceeding years, are
published la the current quarterly re-
port of the Bureau of Statistics. Last
years exports of merchandise amounted
to $691, 777,647, which was nearly $24,-
100000 less than in 1887, and the smallest
amount since 1877, with the exception of
1885. The imports, on the other hand,
aggregating $725, ZOE, III. amounted to
$16,40Qy0O0 more than the year before,
and made the largest total in our his
tory. save 1882.
Free trade Great Britain Is by far the
best customer Of the United States. Any
interference with the ordinary course of
trade between the two countries would
bring disaster to many important Ameri-
can interests. The United Kingdom took
last year 58.25 per cent. Of our total ex-
ports of breadstuffs, provisions, petrol
cum. cotton and tobacco, while all the
other countries Of Europe combined
bought only 29.45 per cent. and the rest
Of the world 12.3Oper cent. OF proyis-
ions alone 67.92 per cent. went to Great
Britain.
The following statements from Brad
streets" show in figures and graphically
the value of the exports of breadstuffs by
principal countries. and the proportion
taken by each, Great Britain, it will be
seen, buying almost %two-thirds of the
total amount:

The unanimous vote cast by the Coun-
ell yesterday for the continuance of DIR,
Leavitt as Health Officer lisa compliment
to the efficient manner in which that
gentleman has fulfilled his duties during
the past year, and to the discrimination
of ex-mayor Hamilton in making the ap-
pointment last year. At that time the
Council was equally divided upon sus-
staining Mayor Hamilton's nomination
and the appointment was made by the
Mayors casting vote. This year, among
the Aldermen who hold over, there is not
n who has an objection to urge against
DR.. Leayitt, and the appointment is con
frmed by the unanimous vote Of the old
and new members of the Council.

A FEW CHANGES.

to the latter as City Editor being MIR.
Jean Decker.
Mr.. Koch retires to go into business
with MIR. W. C. Oakley at Seattle, W. T.
He has been connected with The MINER,
in various capacities, during the past
four years, and has shown himself to be
a reliable, conscientious and active
worker. Ee retires with the best wishes
of THE MINER for his success. Seattle
gains by his presence a live business
man, n who will devote himself con-
scientiously to every public and private
enterprise. His partner, Mr.. Oakley, had
long been connected with THE MINER,
and has the inst reputation of being the
best printer in the Northwest. THE
MINER regrets to lose the services of these
two efficient l~ieutenants, but takes pride
i'm commencing them to the people of
Seattle as men deserving of a hearty
welcome in the booming Puget Sound
city.

is reliable, conscientious, and devoted To
his work. Business men will find him
DESTROYS of accommodating them, and
THE MINER bespeaks for him that recog-
milton which his well-known courtesy
and general efficiency merit.
His successor, Mr.. Jean Decker, is a

perience, affable and courteous, and
The MINER trusts he will be awarded |
the facilities so kindly afforded his pre-
decessOr.

THE OKLAHOMA MARsHAIs.
How They Took Unjust Advantage OF
their Positions to Secure Land.

their POSITIONS to Secure Land.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-George w. Cole oil
Chicago, who was in Oklahoma when the
territory was thrown open to settlement,
had a conference with the attorney general
this afternoon in regard to the conduct OF
the government officers on that occasion.
According to his statement Marshal Jones
OF Kansas and nearly all his 700 deputies
took illegal advantage OF their official no.
sitlon to get possession OF choice lands.
Cole said he was on the spot. and was pre-
pared to substantiate his charges against
Marshal Jones aud his deputies.
He said further that Marshal Noodles and
his deputies, OF Oklahoma district, were
alleged to be equally culpable in the matter
but he was not personally cognizant of the
facts. 30 far as these officials were con.
concerned, he did not care to be response
Die Tor the charges against them. He had
seen enough. however, during his stay OF
three days in the territory to convince him
that certain persons had been given unfair
advantages in securing claims, and he
deemed it his duty to bring the matter to
the attention OF the proper authorities.
The attorney general assured him the
matter would be thoroughly investigated.
He said he had already heard enough to
satisfy him some crooked business had been |
in Oklahoma, and he was de-
termined the offenders should be brought |

rHE PUsL1c

Il Is time 70 bring before the public
again the fact Of the liberal offer made
By . gentleman to give the public library
of Butte q donation OF $4,000. provided
another sum Of $4,000 is raised first.
The offer was made last fall and has not
yet been withdrawn. But it mag be at
any time, as the offer only holds coed as
long as the gentleman has the surplus
! ready cash. The trustees of the Public Lii
brary feel that they have no time to lose
lin coming before the public and asking
individual contributions to the $4,000
required by the donor Of the same
amount.
The existence of the Public Library is
in q very precarious condition. The ex-
penses are $50 a month, which have been
borne by individual contributions. which
win expire on the first OF July, and it is
doubtful whether it will be in the power
Of the trustees to induce the necessary
renewal Of subscriptions to secur its
continuance. The only prospect at pres
emit apparent of making the library a per-
manent institution is to secure the $20,-
600 which would insure its organization
on a sound financial basis as one of the
institutions Of the city.
It is hardly necessary to set forth the
reasons why the citizens of Butte should
come forward literally for the end0W-
ment Of q public library. The adyant-
ages of such an institution are too patent
to need arguments to sustain the proDo-
siti0n that it would confer lasting bene-
fits on the community in the way OF
affording opportunities for mental cul-
ture otherwise unattainable. Small as
the collection Of books in the library at
present is, it has accomplished some
good, and the benefits that would be open
to all from such a collection of books as
the desired fund would procure II inn
measurable. To the young and old it
would present a means of self improve
ment and asourceof information on topics
both general and special beyond the at
tainment Of individual effort.
The trustees hope tina: the public will
give the subject the serious consideration
it deserves and be prepared to respond
when the appeal is made directly to each
one, IS 1t very soon will be. They desire
it shall be generally understood that the
continuance of the present library is an
uncertainty. Its i~nadequacy to the needs
of the community is obvious, and here is
an opportunity that may never occur
again to acquire a sun that will give the
citizens an institution of which they
may be proud. The owners of the large
corporations that give this city its pre-
eminence in Montana may reasonably be
expected to make liberal contributions to
this fund, but it is the merchants and
citizens to whom the trustees look for
the bulk Of the sum that has to be

W. M. Hanson, during the past -four
years on the Butte and Ogden mail route,
has been notified of his de~capitation.
This is a specimen of the civil service re-
form Of the present administration. MIR.
Hanson is credited by the postal author
tiles with being one Of the most capable
mail clerks in the service. He has not
been an active partisan, and his dismiss
sal will leave a vacancy not easily filled.
W. j. Ross, on the same run, has also
been removed by the present administra-
ton, Notwithstanding the fact that he is
a most efficient clerk. Under the civil
service rules both of these men should
have been retained.

BUTTE's POPULATION AND GROWTH.
r. L. Polk 6 Company's Directory Of
Butte for 1889 is out. It contains the
names of 1856 residents, which, accord
ing to the ordinary computation, would
give Butte a population of 31.66s.
This is a gratifying showing. mas
much as it may be taken as approx
mately correct.
Five years ago, when the first directory
Of this city was published by this same
company, there then appeared 1000
names, giving Butte, on the same basis
of computation, a population of 1900.
This surprising growth, since 1884, has
been a steady one-the boom element
not entering into the condition. Dur
ing this brief period the city had its ups
and downs, or times Of business activity
and depression, during which people
have come and gone, but at no time has
there been any excitement attending
these periods Of fluctuation. and the
city's growth has been a steady one
At present the copper situation is not
encouraging. and the effect is to the det-
riment of all copper mining camps. OF
course Butte will be more or less dis
turbed. But this all. Butte producers
do not have to depend upon copper alone,
but find enough silver and other metals
in the copper ore, to make up for losses
oecasioned by any extraordinarily low
prices for copper. While a marked de-
cline in copper may paralyze other cop
per camps, it can only cause a c~urtail-
ment OF business in Butte-a condition
which our business men prepared for
early last winter.
Butte cannot help growing. 1t may
not treble its population in the coming
ave years, but it will continue to increase
In a healthy, vigorous manner

President Harrison has felt compelled
to reluctantly admit that perhaps he
does believe in the death penalty, latter
the murderer's guilt has been fully estab-
lished." 1t will be in order now for the

hoarse in favor Of capital punishment,
whether the alleged murderer's guilt

withstanding the eminently correct
that the worst usesa man can
be put to is TO be hanged.
