OTHER places are following the leaG
OF North Montana in giving attention tc
beet culture. Senator Washburn of
Minnesota has received thousands of let
ters IRON farmers on the subject. One
OF these farmers writes as follows!
some hve years ago, the writer planted
ABOUT an acre to seed sent him from
Germany. The beets turned out grandly
n were remarkably sweet. At that
time we were doing well enough growing
wheat so the experiment was pushed no
further. This past winter was spent by
the writer on the continent and while
thefe he made a study of the industry.
Inc character and ingredients of our Red

tracted by very crude methods from our
sugar beet. The Red river valley farmer
realizes the necessity of summer fallow
or some crop 20 rotate on, and he knows
by experience that nothing prepares his
land for wheat better than a crop of beets.
Thousands of acres in this vicinity will be
fallowed this year, and | am sure we
raise beets to any amount if we had
a market. | myself would gladly raise
them on a large acreage If | could realize
about the cost Of labor for the product.

BLAINE'S INTERFERENCE.

The Anaconda Standard, familiar with
all the facts in the case, denounces al
outrageous the request of Secretary
Blaine for the pardon of Rowand, who
is serving a life sentence at Deer Lodge
The Standard says:
The details of the murder for which
Rowand ought promptly to have beer
hanged need not be recited. For years
he was notorious for the braggart all
with which, when he was under the inf1u.
ence OF liquor, he proclaimed his willing
ness to turn a deadly weapon against the
life of any man. He had quarreled with
a barkeeper and proposed to kill him.
With careless aim he discharge a revolv-
err, and its misdirected bullet took the
life OF an innocent man who never had q
word with the murderer, who was respect.
ed by everyone who knew him, q man OF
industrious habits and of exemplary life,
whose devoted wife and two little chill
dren left the city of Butte, to carry with
them to q distant home the ineffaceable
memory of an awful crime.
Set this mar free because he happens
to have relatives who can reach the ear
of cabinets and command the helpful
word of ministers? 1t would be an out
rage! This community is quite too gentle
with men who estimate the value of life
so lightly that they boast their readiness
to be the authors of causeless murder.
1t seems to us that, under all the circum.
stances, the mistake that cost the life of
young Busierre makes the crime all tile
more heinous. We sincerely hope that
the members of the board of pardons Will
refuse to heed the request of Secretary
Blaine and that they will make their re-
refusual conspicuous with its evidences
of marked displeasure at this unwarrant.
able interference with the course of jus.
tice in the state.
No cause is shown why the pardon
should be issued, save that Rowand,
through influential friends, has interested
the Canadian premier in his behalf. No
extenuating circumstances are set forth
nor has any new evidence favorable to
the criminal been found. The demand
of Secretary Blaine. for his letter amounts
to a demand, is made simply to comply
with the wishes of Sir John A. Macdon-
aid, and it seems to us that is carrying in
ternational courtesy to a long limit.
Without some other good reason than
to please Canada's premier, the
board of pardons is not warranted in set
ting this murderer free.

WEDNESDAY. MAY IA, 1880
CITY BUSINESS.

In a short time the new aldermen vii
be accustomed to routine business an,
the wheels of city government may b.
expected to move freely. There ar
some matters on which there might be
new departure with advantage:
l. Committee work. In the last coun
Gil, committee work was rather lax. Few
committee meetings were held. Those
that were held, were at best, lnforma
consultations just before the council me
or during a recess. Committee business
was generally left to the chairman and q
minority report was unknown. This was
all wrong. Each member of the com.
mittee should be consulted on any bust
ness of importance and should be asked
for his opinion before any is given in the
name of the committee. 1t would b.
better still if all reports were in writing
and signed by the aldermen who approx
ed them. Whether reports were long or
brief this would be the best course. 1t
ensures precision and may assist in de-.
termining the full intent of ordinances
and contracts should they be called in
question.
Reports should also be prompt. No
alderman ought to ask ''more time" after
he has held a document for a week. 1t
would be better to make a preliminary
report and show good reasons for further
delay than to leave the matter unnoticed
or use the excuse that the committee is
unable to report, which too often implies
that the subject has not been considered
at all. If the chairman of the committee
is absent, the next on the list should take
his place and make known the opinion
OF the members on all questions before
them, even if the chairman has the orig
lnal documents in his a pocket.
III. Department reports. The treas
urer now makes a monthly report on the
business of his bureau. He is the only
officer required to do 50. The council
should require reports from other officers
On the general affairs of their depart
ments. These statements chould contain
suggestions and recommendations as we'll
as details of actual work. The condition
OF the city trees, for instance, should be
made the subject of constant inquiry.
The aldermen of each ward should make
that their special business and they
should be authorized to call on the city
to assist them when such aid be-
comes necessary.
In these and other respects the new
should establish the best meth
DIS and lay the basis for a city govern
.ent that will be of permanent service TO

iy:
DIR. e. d. Peters, jr., formerly superin.
tendent of the Parrot smelter in this dis
trict has a letter in the New York Engi.
neering and Mining Journal of April 20,
giving an account of a recent trip he
made through the mining and smelling
centers of the state. He is greatly op-
posed to the idea of locating the Boston
Il Montana smelter at Great Falls, so far
from the mines of the company.
Or. Peters is d man Of practical exp ri
ence and his opinions are entitled tn
weight. Among the mining men in
Butte there has ever heel some doubts as
to the location of the Boston a. Montana
company's works at Great Falls, and that
doubt has not been diminished by the
heavy real estate investments which it is
alleged some of the eastern officials of
the company have made at the Cascade
county seat. However, the location OF
the Boston ~ Montana works is noLody's
particular business, not even DR.. Peters,
and if the company wants to build up
there and haul ore l50 miles, why let
the enterprise proceed. But the hunks
of the Big Hole offer the best facilities
and would render safe what will other
wise be a doubtful experiment. But
what has DR.. Peters got against Great
Falls?
/. DR.. Peters opinions, which we
quoted yesterday, were casual and super
fetal. He wrote as a simple observer
with slight knowledge of the leading
points in such matters,
2. We do not know what mining men
in Butte" are so troubled about the choice
of this location, but we do know that it
has the approval of Captain Couch, who
is one of the ablest practical miners in
Butte.
8. The "raal estate investments re-
ferrsd to were made after the selection of
the site.
4. In these days Of railroad locomotion
$50 mile haul is a small matter. The
'banks of the Big Hole" were examined
with due care and found inadequate.

STRIKES ARE EXPENSIVE,

The seventh annual report of the state
bureau of statistics of labor of NewYorb
has been laid before the legislature by
the commissioner. 1t is a long docu.
ment and goes extensively into discus.
sion of prominent points in the labor
question. The following statements of
facts will be read with interest:
The total number of strikes for five
years, 1886 to 1859, inclusive, was 1884,
OF this number, 4,432 we're successful,
l,4s4 partly successful, 3,46S unsuccess-
full and so pending.
The number Of persons engaged In
these strikes was 335,O19.
The amount lost in wages was $S,O42,-
915.59.
The cost to labor organizations BY
reason OF strike benefits and conduct Of
strikes was $1,210,26O.53.
The estimated gain in wages was $lS,-
62S, 060. SO.
The loss to employers from all causes
was $5,157, 942.15
When h cause OF strikes was a de
mand for more pay, which occurred in
5,2o1 establishments, the increase was
conceded in 1905 cases, while a decrease
took effect in 1888 establishments. There
was no change in 2,s13 cases.
Although causes of strikes are by no
means confined to the wage question, it
has been found that once a strike has set
IN for any cause, wages usually become
implicated before the settlement.
The female employees were not, as a
rule, given to strikes as a remedy; they
follow the shop lead loyalty, but when
they originate a movement it is as often
AS not done in a huff and quickly aban-
doned. The number Of women and girls
engaged i n strikes in tie past five years
was 48,346.
