The Butte Laborers Form u Permanent
Organization.
by the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, May 6.-The strikers met again
this afternoon at the Lyceum theatcr and
organized permanently under the name
of the Butte Laborers' Union. The meet
ing, like the proceeding ones, was largely
attended n the same great enthusiasm
which marked the former gatherings pre-
vailed. Patrick Boland made a brief
speech, replete with good advice to the
strikers and counseled flrmness coupled
with moderation, and assured them Of
victory.
As a basis for the permanent organize
ton the following agreement was submit
ted To the meeting and was adopted with
cheers: 1--WE, the undersigned, laboring
men of Butte and vicinity, do hereby
agree to form a union for the purpose Of
obtaining n uniform rate OF wages based
upon n scale sue that no laboring man
shall receive less than 50 per day for his
labor" A temporary organization was
then effected by the election of Patrick
Boland as president and James Brown
secretary. Invitation was now extended
their signatures To the agreement adopted
aud "A rush for the s~ecrctary's
desk ensued. BY common consent.
every person signing was assessed
80 cents as an initiation fee and evidence
Of good faith. The money derived from
this source will he used to defray present
needed expenses of the new organization
and as a nucleus of a permanent fund
which il is intended to raise for the fu-
turc use of the organization.
A pleasant feature of last nights meet
ing was when a man in the garb of a
miner quietly advanced To the platform
and handed n $40 gold piece to the chair
maj with the remark: II can't make "A
speech, but I'm with you." The stranger
then quietly left the hall, leaving every
body i'm ignorance as to his identity.
The act was witnessed by the crowd. but
only those Immediately in front of the
stage knew what was going on.
The Butte Laborers' union is now one
of the institutions of the city and II prop
erly conducted will soon rank with the
foremost labor organizations of the land.
The Butte Miners union is an example
of what can he accomplished by organiza-
ton and intelligent management of af-

COLLEGE GRADUATES.
The Supply of Educated Men Not in Excess
of the Demand,

When one marks the long lists of re.
cent graduates from our principal col.
leges-lists in most cases twice as long
as they were thirty years ago-one Won
ders at first sight where such a multi
tude of highly educated young men will
go. Where are they to find places suited
to their training and attainments? One
can imagine some of them asking de-
spondently with Tennyson:
what is that which should turn TO, lighting
upon days like these!
Every door is barred with gold, and opens but
to golden keys:''
Yet, if we look closely at the matter,
we shall see reasons for believing that
the supply of educated men is not in
excess of the demand. In the first place,
we must remember that the population
of this country is twice as large as it
was in 1860, which means that the field
of opportunity has expanded in proper
ton to the number of graduates. In
the second place, a marked change has
come over the postgraduate intentions
of college students, and consequently
over the nature of the studies compre-
hended in a university course.
At the beginning of this century, a
majority of the men graduated from our
Eastern colleges entered the ministry.
Thirty years ago, by far tho greater
number contemplated the practice of
the law or of medicine. Now large
and steadily increasing fraction of grad
yates apply themselves to the innumer-
able forms of business or industrial
activity which have sprung into exist
ence under the joint stimulus OF capital
and science.
This signal alteration in the objects
which graduates have in view has had
the effect of broadening and reorganiz-
ing the university curriculum. Not
only is it no longer the sole function of
colleges to turn out clergymen, but it
has even ceased to be their exclusive
purpose to qualify young men for the
learned professions generally. They
now seek to impart such training and
equipment as will fit the faithful stu
dent for any walk of life, in which
disciplined and well-stored intellect
and the invaluable habit of concentra-
ton are the factors of success. Such
being the aims and the methods of con-
temporary colleges, we do not think the
annual number CT their graduates is out
of proportion to the needs and oppor-
tunities of our fast-growing country

BRITISH PRISON RULES.
They Are More Severe Than Those of ANY
Other Country,

Other Country.
The British penal system is, though
in some respects the most equal, I'M
questionably the most severe. The mis-
demeanant sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment with hard labor can not OBJ
tain single days remission by good
conduct, and he is not allowed to spend
in prison the smallest fraction of the
money which he earns. His choice of
work is also limited mostly to matmak-
ing, tailoring and shoemaking. lie may
be a skilled mechanic or artist, or
matchmaker, turner, carver, engraver,
miniature painter or draugh tsman-he
will find no employment for his talents
within Jail, and may, in fact, be set to
work which will spoil his hand and for
a time cripple his power of earning his
living after his discharge. The felon
| condemned to penal servitude stands in
| the same case with respect to work He
may earn promotion to first and second
| class, with small improvements in his
diet and eventually ticket of leave, by
good marks, but unfitness for the task
| allotted so him, or i'll health, may rem
der him incapable of earning the daily
maximum of eight marks, and thus
place him at disadvantage beside old
and cunning prison hands, In all for
eign countries the discretionary powers
allowed to prison governors for the
treatment of their captives are much
greater than with us. This, no doubt,
opens the door to good deal of favorit-
ism, but where the governor is a man of
experience and just mind the continent
al system must operate more humanely
| than our own hardand-fast rules can
possibly do.
There is no question about which the
opinions of prison reformers have boen
SO divided as about the effects of solita-
ry confinement. In England it has been
ruled that a prisoner sentenced to penal
servitude can not be safely confined in
| solitude for more than nine months. In
Germany and Austria the term of soli-
tude is two years. In Belgium a pris-
oner sentenced to tracdur forces former
ly had the option between solitary con-
fnement and association: and if he chose
the former, onethird of his penalty was
RENTED without reference to other re-
missions which he might earn by good
conduct. AS it was found that all pris-
oners elected for solitary confinement,
the right of option has now been with
drawn; but the remission is still granted,
so that in Belgium a sentence of fifteen
years penal servitude means practically
ten. 1t must be added that in Belgium
the time which prisoner has spent in
custody before sentence is deducted
from the term of punishment-a just
provision which ought to be adopted in
all ountries.-Temple Bar.

THE BUSY MONGOOSE,
How the Residents of Jamaica Cleared
Their Lands of Rats.

Ten or fifteen years ago one or two
residents Of Jamaica imported this ami
NAL from the East Indies with a view of
pitting him against the rats, which did
enormous mischief in the cane pieces.
In attaining this object they were per-
fectly successful. The mongoose found
himself in land peculiarly adapted to
his health and habits. He increased
and multiplied exceedingly and achieved
q complete victory over tho rats, which
were driven neck and crop out of the
canes. Whereas the expense caused by
rats used to amount to el5O and G2OO, or
even more, year in each estate, it is
now practically nil, and when. as now.
every form of saving must be taken ad-
vantage of to secure a fair profit in
sugar production, this was a most i'm
portant gain.
But the mongoose has not confined his
operations to his legitimate enemies
He has killed all the lizards and snakes
(Which in Jamaica were always of harm
less species); he hunts for and devours
the eggs of quail and all ground laying
birds, and is ready to pounCe upon and
murder any of the feathered race which
frequent the ground, or at any time
place themselves within the reach of
his ruthless jaws. His depredations
among poultry are source of daily
lamentation from high and low, and the
only animals which are said to uefy him
are the guinea-fowl, wild and tame,
whose eggs are too hard for his teeth to

ABOUT NOVEL WRITING.
inc Relation That Should Exist Between
the Style and the Matter


NO romance is any the worse, but ia,
the better, for being we'll written. II,
Do well written it must be suitabl,
written, and the style which is excel
lent for sober, delicate, scientific storI
IS not so excellent for a tale of adyen
ture. Even the novel-publishing news
papers, as long as they get their week
~ allowance of incident, do not grumble.
PROBABLY because the language is good
lts excellence, however, depends on tho
matter. Elegant and rhythmic English
and dainty and prolonged description
are not in place in a novel of romance.
they cease to be in place as soon as tho
| separate charm of the style becomes q
rival to the interest of tho story. A
drama may have too much wit, though
this Is an uncommon fault, and a
story, too, IS msrred when the atten.
ton, instead OF being concentrated
on the action, is claimed by the
manner of the narration Even in tales
OF analysis and science, one often sees
that the author has paused and nibbled
at his pen, while he sought the best, OF
rather the most unexpected, word. This
is actually frequent vice in modern,
especially, perhaps, in American novels,
which aim at style. There are some
readers who prefer these Interruptions
and delays; they think them proofs o!
dellcacy and of exquisite care. This
tap9esrs to me to be fault in any work,
| Often, it is true, in Shakespeare one is
forced to stop and read again and again
some passage, for the extraordinary,
astonishing beauty of its manner. Blu,
we may be sure that Shakespeare did MOI
stop as he wrote, and work the thing up
Shakespeare who never blotted a line. ;
Of course passages may be worked up
and yet may show no sign of it. Fol
example, there is beautiful sentence
in one of Izaak Walton's Lives" which
reads in its ample brevity as if it wore
quite spontaneous. But several rough
copies of it, none of them good, are
found on a fly leaf of book which had
been in the possession OF Izaak.
The error is to employ a research in
style which is inappropriate and tardy.
This is as much the fault of some good
novels in the way of analysis as reck.
lessness of taste and even of grammar
is the fault of some books of adventure.
The worst of it is that, to good many
persons, the fault in the former class
appears merit. When Mr.. Stevenson
in his admirable ''Master of Ballantrae,"
makes the old Scotch steward talk about
''the lurching reverberations of the fire.
light he drops, for once into the error
of style which is too often recognized as
all excellence. At all events, the bust.
ness of ''heredity," as in NJ. Zola's long
series of romances, can never, probably,
be much admired by more than passing
fashion. Heredity is much too tieeting
and peculiar in its manifestations to be
seized scientifically. 1t is about as
manageable as hypnotism, which is
scientific, too, more or less, and is over.
worked and tedious. But novel of
heredity is usually thought scientific,
while novel of hypnotic influence is
thought romantic. They are about
equally scientific and equally transient.
Andrew Lang, in Longman's Magazine.
