Journsllsm S Advances.

The first American newspaper was
published IN 1890, and in 1890 the
total number1ot periodical publica-
tions in Canada and the United States
was nearly Is, 600. with combined
annual issue Of nearly three and a
half billions This wonderful advance
shows that the American people arc
readers. A computation shows that
the combined circulation Of all publ
cations will give three yearly subscrip-
tions TO every family of FIVE persons !;
that the combined clrculations
monthly publications will give nearly
twelve numbers year to each family :
that weekly publications are sufficient
to give two papers regularly to each
family, and that the daily issues would

mend the observance thereof by the

couragement of arbor culture were
wisely framed, and l earnestly hope
that the people of Montana will rec

E. A. w.

E. A. Shaw, on the citizens ticket
for mayor, is one whose life has been
singularly active. This is evinced
by his manifest ability and success
in business. No man at his age be-
comes the careful, thoughtful person.
age he is without a good round edu-
cation, supplemented by a term of
lessons under the guidance of that
severe but practical old dame, "t'x-
p%erience." Mr.. Shaw is one whose
word is his bond. During his three
years residence here, there has not
been imputed to him a single act of
dishonesty or fraudulent transaction.
With this statement we repudiate the
charge with reference to the sale of
fire apparatus. And we say in de-
Tense of Shaw and the then officio
council, that considering the quality
of apparatus purchased, the firm of
Lowry and Shaw saved the town of
Nelhart $50 by the transaction. We
have the figures to prove our stand.
Mr.. Shaw was alderman Of Butte
for two years, while Hon. w. r.
Kenyon and H. G.. VALENTINE acted
successfully, each n year, as may
or. He served faithfully the full
term, and upon its expiration declin-
ed an urgent public request to serve
again. His aldermanic record in the
aforesaid town is characterized by
moderation, integrity, t%ireless energy
and strict economy, qualities emin-
emily fitting him for the Office to
which he is about to be raised. We
predict a good sized majority for
him.
