A PROTECTIVE tariff is in the interest
of the manufacturer as against the em-
ployes and the masses. But, like all
m%onopolies, it helps the big fishes in
preference to the smaller ones, and as the
whole system is demoralizing to bust
ness, it follows that the manufacturers
with the least capital and backing must
fail first. One after another will they
go to the WALL" until only the few are
left, and the monopoly be made the more
complete. Thus a protective tariff is in
to the masses, throwing hard
working and struggling small manufac-
turers out of business, and their en-
out Of work, and making the
pay higher prices for goods in
order to still further enrich the "big

Tue BUTTE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

We are reliably informed that a pub.
lic-spirited citizen has made the very
liberal offer to the Butte Public Library
that he will contribute to it $4,000
upon the condition that the people OF
Butte will manifest an equally generous
spirit and contribute $4,000 in addition.
The sum proposed would guarantee
to the library a building, which, in addi-
ton to being its home, would also make
sufficient return from rents, to keep the
library out Of debt and pay all current
expenses, and besides, would supply such
a collection Of books as would be a cred
liable library for any Western city,
1t is to be hoped that the citizens will
take some action, before it is TOO late, to
secure for the city this most liberal offer.
How long the proposition will be open
we are not informed, but it is believed
that the offer can be accepted within any
reasonable time, and certainly will be
kept open, if there is any probability
that the people will make an effort to
comply with the conditions upon which
it is made.
We are glad to be able to put this mat
ter before the public. and trust some ac-
ton will be taken Immediately, to secure
the benefit Of a first-class library and
reading room. Such an offer is excep-
tional, and. if the opportunity is lost, it
is not at all likely to ever be made again.
We believe it would be to the interest OF
the large mining companies in this
county to subscribe the other $4,000,

Hawking Opinion of Cardiff.

The Helena Independent of recent date
has interviewed Billy Hawkins oil Helena
on the subject OF the chances OF Patsy Car.
diff who shows here at the Comique next
weekly in his coming contest with Jackson,
with the following result: Billy Hawkins,
the champion lightweight. said last evening,
in reference to Cardiff's chances: while
Jackson may be the wonder his
friends claim he is, the fact must not
be lost sight OF that Cardiff is long ways
the best man he has met yet. McAuliffe,
whom Jackson defeated, wa, in nv
opinion an overrated man in every respect,
aud Jackson outweighed Godfrey by forty
pounds. The only advantage, that l can
see. Jackson has over Cardiff is in length of
reach, which will be more than offset by
the latter being a harder hitter, and a
stronger man every way. Neither Sullivan
Mitchell could find this man, and 1 be-
lieve he will keep the coon guessing"
A good deal of interest is felt here 10 see
which will crowd the Comioue with
interested spectators when he appears.

SOCIETY
By a Marriage Performed Wednesday
Evening Becoming Known Yesterday.

A mild sensation was created in society
circles Friday when the friends OF the
parties interested were informed about
noo that a marriage had been performed
the previous evening between E. w. Lester
and Miss Carrie Osborn. The ceremony
had taken place quietly at the house of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Fletcher. being per-
formed by Judge Lippincott. The groom
has only been a few months in the CITY.
and has a position in Clark & Larabie's
bank. He is the only son OF Mr.. VIM. C..
Lester, a wealthy resident OF New York.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Jennie Osborn OF Evanston, Wyoming,
and has been residing for over
a year with her aunt, Mrs.
George W. Dickinson, attending the High
School. Mr.. Dickinson was in Missoula
where Mrs. Dickinson went to join him yes
terday morning, without being aware of
the important step in life taken by her
niece. The secrecy attending the marriage
was occasioned by an apprehension OF cp-
position from the young lady's aunt
and uncle. kilograms were sent to
them yesterday as well as to Mrs. o.
born at Evanston, and all doubts
were happily removed by the receipt
of an answer from Mrs. Osborn addressed
ED and Carrie Lester" congratulating
them, and thus tacitly expressing her con-
1t is understood that the young
will occupy the residence OF Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Ross Clark, who leave this evening
for a few months visit to New Mexico.

The Woman Probably Killed by Her Ger
man Husband--The Jury's Verdict.
The jury brought lin verdict 10 the
effect that the woman kpoEn as AEs BentA
came to her death, on March 2, by having
her throat cut and body gaaisshed with a
razor in the hands OF her husband. 1t is
believed that the principal witness'is her
little 500, who, il is claimed, say he did
not SCI his mother before he came to town
on Saturday, although be had asked to do
SO, and that previously his stepfather ard
mother had quarreled.
As the lips OF the iurgmen are sealed, it is
very hard to get reliable Information re-
garding the testimony which, led to the
murder being fastened upon Waters, but it
is believed to be CONCLUSIVE enough to con-
Wet him.
It is thought that the deed was done in
the open air, and that Walters dra gged bis
victim to the bedroom and then cut her
again, placing a razor la her hand to draw
suspicion from him. Walters has not shown
the least sign that he vas guilty, and when
be saw the body OF Sunday he cried most
bitterly.

Work on the Streets,

A vigorous effort is being made by the
street department to take ADVANTAGE of
the present fair weather while it lasts and
get the streets in presentable condition.
Activity OF this kind is a notable feature
in nearly all cities just before election and
Butte is no exception. Whatever the
prompting cause, the result is none the less
acceptable to the citizens, whether inter-
ested in local politics or not. There are
nineteen men at work on street grading in
different parts OF the city. The surface of
Main between Park and Gnlena is being
cut down to grade ON both sides OF the
street car tracks and the superfuous dirt
used to fill in on East Mercury str. ct. West
Park between Washington and Idaho is
being raised to grade with waste from the
Stevens mine dump. Five extra wagons
have beea hired in addition to the city
team and carts.

WHAT the City Council should do, in
the matter of lighting the city: Adver-
tise for bids, giving the legal thirty days
notice, specifying the number Of lights
wanted, the candle-power, etc. Then, if
outside companiec care to compete and
underbid the local company for the same
service, THE MINER would feel that the
authorities would be authorized and fully
justified in awarding the contract to the
lowest bidder.

MANAGEMENT OF THE TREASURY.
This from a red-hot Republican news
paper, is not so bad. In fact, some points
of it are so good that THE MINER repro
duces the article entire. 1t is from the
st. Louis Globe Democrat" of the 4th:
1.-TWO Cabinet offices have been filled
with ability under the administration of
Mr.. Cleveland. These are the posts of
head Of the Navy and of the Treasury De-
partment. For Secretary Whitney, as an
official, Republican papers generally have
often spoken in terms Of praise. His
management of the affairs Of the office
over which he has presided, has, for the
most part, been characterized by vigor,
public spirit and intelligence. These
qualities the Republicans have recog-
nized and applauded. But neither DEM
ocrats nor Republicans appear to have
apprehended the difficulties and perplex-
tiles which have been met and mastered
by the gentlemen who have managed the
affairs Of the monetary department of
the Government during the past four
years. .,.
I'm March. 1885, when Daniel Manning
assumed the duties Of Secretary Of the
Treasury, the net gold funds of the Gov
eminent was, In round figures, $126,OOO,-
600. The minimum limit of safety dur
ing the eight years of the Republican
supremacy Immediately preceding had
been considered to be about $135, 100000.
Bond calls were seldom issued by Repub-
lican Secretaries when the net gold in
the Treasury fell below s~14O,OOO.OOO. But
toward the close of Arthur's administra-
ton the gold fund began to lower, get
ting down to the $126,OOO,OO0 mark at
the close Of the Republican regime, with
the tendency still downward. 1t had
dropped to $110,OOO,OM a few weeks after
the Democrats came into power, but there
the movement was stayed, and soon it
started slowly in the other direction.
Seven or eight months later the gold fund
had been expanded to IN amount far be-
yond the average accumulated during Re-
publican days. |
'eThe Democratic Treasury officials have
often been blamed, and with some Ge-
gree Of justice, for the boards Of gold
which they have piled up in the treasury.
and for the smallness of their bond pur-
chases. II can not be denied, however,
that the gold hoarding process has had
the effect Of largely decreasing tbs vol
ume OF silver going to the treasury
through the custom houses, restoring
confidence in the nations ability tomeet
all its obligations in gold, and improy-
ing the monetary situation generally.
The country's finances were p~erilouslyl

REMARKS the Great Falls Lender"

Cleveland's last veto was that OF the di-
rect tax bill, which, after a short DE- bate,
vas passed over the veto-yeas as, nays 9.
This does not took much like an indorse-
nent Of the late Presidents policy, even by
o Democratic House.
The Senate has not been accused Of
representing Democratic sentiment, of
late years. The Democratic House, how
ever, did not pass the bill over the veto.

THE Australian election bill seems In a
fair way to become q law in Montana.
1t is not a partisan measure, but one
which commends itself to the favorable
consideration Of nearly the whole Ameri-
can people. 1t is opposed only by a few
captious individuals who neither under
stand its true worth nor have any ade-
quate conception of its great need.
Should it become a law, it will do much
to compensate for the consumption by
the Legislature Of those full sixty days.

A letter received recently by a party here
from the Alaska Commercial Company AN
nouneed that, having got it's lease back
from the Government, it was having tim
bers framed in San Francisco for a large
steamer which will be put together at St.
Michael's at the mouth of the Yukon. 1t is
intended TO ply in hat river, going up it
l 800 miles, making two trips in the sea-
son. This will be a welcome accom-.
mediation to the mining camps up in
the interior Of Alaska, enabling them
to get full supplies of provisions COM
paratively cheap. The gold mines
of Alaska are wonderfully rich, but the
shortness of the season coupled with the
difficulty hitherto experienced in getting
provisions have prevented many going
there. The only fresh meat obtainable ID
elk. which rove in bands of thousands in
the interior. A government party will go
there this year to make q survey between
Alaska and the British possessions which
is expected to consume eighteen months.

IT IS alleged that there are poorer
lighted cities in the Northwest than
Butte-save the mark land that Helena
is one Of Them. As relates to Helena THE
MINER understands the allegation to be
correct. Helena is laboring under the
disadvantage Of having this st. Paul
electric plant in its town-the same
which offers to light { Butte. in as sat
isfactory a manner as Helena is lighted !
THE MINER cheerfully makes this correc-
tion, in the interest Of the City Council,
and i'm justice to all concerned.

no HulED SCHOOL HoUsEs
Of the Act Authorizing -
Issefe for This Purpose.

Among the features of municipal admin
istration to which citizens OF this section
may point with pride. there is nonein which
more general satisfaction is felt than the
way in which public education is fostered
and supervised. Butte maj justly claim 20
be behind no other section In the West ID
this respect IN it's anxiety TO do ts'diity by
the growing generation-the citizens OF the
future. But the uapd.growttf OF Western
communities is proysrbial dor oversaking
and passing the limits Of even the
visest foresight and requiring amend
ment or enlargement OF powers con,
ferred on governing boards to keep pace
With the growing demands Of the communi.
,ty. The law authorizing the issue OF bonds
'by schoolsdistricts authorizes their issue
for this purpose to the extentof s percent.
OF the assessed valuation OF the dlstrlcts
But it limits this issue, whatever the
amount, to only one issue al bonds until
that issue isipaid off. Three per cent. OF
the assessed valuation of this school dis.
trict would yield nearly 5000, OOO. An
issue Of bonds under this act has already
been made to the extent OF $4,000, p
according to the present act no more bonds
can be issued until these are paid, which
viii be in three or four years more. -s-t' i&s
7 In the meantime additional school house
accommodation is needed in Meaderville.
Centerville and South Butte. In Meader-
vile a hairis at present used which is un-
suitable in point of ventilation alone,
besides being the meeting place OF societies,
social and otherwise. at night, which in the
opinion Of the Superintendent unfts it Tor
school purposes. In Centerviils q room ls
rented which very nearly amounts to what
the house costs. The school house in
South Butte needs enlargement and the
addition of other rooms. { The growth 'of
these places demands the necessary increase
of accommodations there being an overplus
in South Butte of children to occupy
another teachers time. They AVE to be
sent to the Central school in Butte.
An act is now before the Legislature to
amend the existing law so hat school dis
tricts may issue bonds as needed up to the
limit before mentioned. That is, taking
the case OF Butte, for instance, where $685.
900 bonds for this purpose have been
issued, when the necessity arises for an
increase OF the school accommodation, it
will not be necessary to wait until the SO
are paid before issuing more bonds to meet
existing requirements, provided the whole
amount outstanding is less than 3 per cent.
of the assessed valuation OF the school
district. This will enable the school
trustees of this district to provide at once
for the needs OF Meaderville, Centerville
and South Butte. The sum needed will
not be large but it must be had at once,
and it cannot be raised Immediately by
taxation.
School Trustees Brownlee and Brophy
are, of course, strongly in favor of the pro-
posed relief afforded by the new legislation
and are circulating a petition to the Legis-
lature to grant the required relief at once.
