VIEWS OF JUSTICE HARLAN.

VIEWS OF JUSTICE HARLAN.
At the end of a lecture to the stu
dents in the law department of Columbi
an University, in Washington, on Sat
urday, Mr.. Justice Harlan, of the
Uuited States Supreme Court, in re-
FIRING to the disaster to the Maine,
silt:
L do not think I can better close
what l want to say tonight than by
saying to you that we are now in times
when people ought not to lose their
heads, as some people are doing, in and
out of Congress. | can perform no
better service to you, am sure, than
to advise you to keep cool not to pass
judgment upon grave questions when
YOU. If there is anything that our
YOU have not the facts before
profession tesches US it is to wait until
the case is presented before you reach
the final conclusion. You will under-
stand very we'll to what refer.
"a great calamity has occurred in
waters nearby. 1t is Idle for any man
to say that he knows now that calami-
ty occurred, and any man bellttles his
nature and lowers himself in the esti'
nation of his fellow men when he ex
presses the anxiety that it will turn out
that it Was not an accident, but that it
was bv treschery, rather than acci'
dent. Brave, generous men do not
want to think so badly of their fellow
men. We don't want to believe that
that was an act of treachery and du-
plicity; we hope it will turn out other
wise.
And we ought all to have this feel
ing that lift turns out to be accidental,
we should rejoice if it turns out not to
be occidental, we will not hear any
more OF North, South, East or West !;
no more of republicans, democrats or

WADE HAMPTON TALKS OF WAR

WADE HAMPTON TALKS OF WAR.
a dispatch from Columbia, S. e., to
the New York Sun says:
Gen. Wade Hampton, one of the two
surviving ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
Confederacy, consented to speak of the
Maine disaster. and the probability OF
war with Spain.
Il cannot express an opinion on the
cause of the Maine tragedy" said the
General, ''as that is matter which
iii be determined by experts and di-
vers. But as 10 what course the United
States should pursue should the dis
aster prove to be due to Spanish tresch
cry, or to fauatical hatred ofthe United
) ates on the part of some individual
Spaniard, do not hesitate to say that
we should demand heavy indemnity
aud enforce the collection of it at the
muzz!e of the gun"
Gen. Hampton was asked ifhe would
oil r his services to the government,
,ut declined TO answer. From his sub
.quent conversation the inference
cJul be drawn that be WAS not He

When asked what disposition should
oe made of Cuba Gen. Hampton eX-
pressed q strorg disapproval OF annex

1--WE have enough bad voters in this
couutry now," he said, without taking
n any more. It would be we'll for the
Unled States to exercise protectorate
over both Cuba aud Hawaii, but l ain
unaltersbly opposed to annexation"

section $500 OF the Political Code and
are almost entirely legislative in their
character. Whereas, under the govern
ment OF the city Of Butte. and also IL is
believed. of other city governments in
the state, the different city councils ex-
ercise not only legislative but also those
administrative powers which properly
pertain to such officers as are entrusted
with the execution OF the ordinance OF
a city. Thus. the street and alley and
fire and water committees Of the city
council exercise the same general con-
troll over those departments as are
commonly left to a special officer
charged with the performance of at
tending to the several duties imposed
by ordinance in relation thereto.
To Of the citv council are
paid only S. per diem for their SER
vices. n the state law provides that
they shall be paid for no more than five
days In any n month. This would
amount to a total OF SIS per month.
which Is the only compensation that
aldermen In n city OF the size OF Butte
are entitled to receive for their services.
Now. IL cannot be that the legislature
ever expected men competent to frame
ordinances for n city. and to Judge OF
the requirements and necessities Of its
inhabitants. to neglect their private
business and render ~gratuitous SER
vices To the city they serve. This would
be contrary to what is lone under any
system Of government. whether nat
ional. state or municipal.
From this fact alone IL would seem
clear that the legislature of the state
intended for different city councils, who
frame the ordinances OF "a city. To con-
fine itself mainly TO those duties. and
to that general supervision which Il
may possess over the officers who IKE
cute the laws of a city.
-.
OF the legislature. some time ago, In a
communication addressed to the city
council OF Butte. I recommended the
creation OF a board of public works.
such as IL contemplated by section IL
Of House Bill No. 20i. to which have
referred. This recommendation. how
ever. was not acted on and up to the
present time the committee and mem
bers OF the city council perform gener-
ally the duties l have mentioned above.
The necessity for n board OF public
works In n city of the size Of Butte Is
too obvious to require extended COM
ment. This city with it's suburbs has
now n population Of nearly or quite So
600, and IL requires a harmonious and
uniform system OF lighting. sewerage.
water works and public improvements
OF every character. Now. when these
are entrusted 20 different committees OF
the city council. who perhaps for the
most part nave given the matter no
study. IL follows that the works
and improvements contemplated are
crude. Inconsistent. and not such
as could best promote the public well
fare. Whereas. II the same duties were
Entrusted To "A competent beard
ed OF a competent engineer and one or
experienced business men. the re-
concentrations OF such a board would
possess unity and utility, and in the
end be n source Of great economy to the
inhabitants Of a city. And I think that
the approaching legislature should be
urged tn pass an act creating such n
board in all cities and towns i'm the

II could be carted away the space II oc-
cupies would make splendid building
lots. and the waste ground could MI
a large part of the fiat and make more

ing is too gigantic to be feasible. The
mines of Butte consume more than ESQ.,
Voo pounds of giant powder each month
and that quantity. distributed skilfully
would doubtless blow the stufing out
OF the Big Butte. But such danger
would attach to the city itself IL such
means were resorted to, and II might
lose itself in getting rid Of the Big
Butte.
Besides. the mining men might ob-

desirable as that might seem to the real
estate men. With mining men this Big
Butte Is regarded as a kind of Joss or
little 1t Is a sort of ode stone
or Pole star toward which all the fis-
sures and veins of the Butte district
point. 1t certainly played some strik-
ing part In h creation of the Butte
mining district, which produces 2s per
cent. OF all the copper produced In the
world. The hill has been tunneled and
honey-combed by prospectors. but Il has
proven valueless of itself. Yet all the
streams of valuable metal beneath the
ground point toward Il and seem to
nave had their being from Il at some
time. In some way West of this Butte
and south of 1t are no copper bearing
minerals to be found at ali. So the Rig
Butte has certainly borne some myster-
ious part I'm the making of this great
camp. The superstitious would consider
It's removal or dissertation as the death
blow of Butte. n the reverent would
not countehance disrespect to the
strange hill which in some unknown
manner brought the coppe streams to
this portion of the earth when the
Creator was fashioning this world
the hill which gave its child. the city
OF Butte. its own name.
SO 1t VIII have to stand there. But
what is TO be done with IL? How Is IL

There might be a gigantic windmill
erected on its summit, operated by gil
gantic electric motors. by the ~electri-
cally forced revolutions of it's windmill
could be generated n breeze sufficient TO
carry away from the city the sitting
smoke which, when no air is stirring.
fills up the valley to the discomfort of
every resident. A very small breeze
is sufficient to watt the great clouds
Of smoke out of the valley and away
from Butte. and in no way could
greater service be rendered. Terrific
blizzards from little breezes grow. and
when Eastern newspapers talk about
the terrible Montana weather. the
windmill of the big Butte could re-

way eastward-a breeze which would
gather force with every mile Of its
journey until IL attained cyclonic pro-
n forced the people az the
to hunt another climate. Butte
might become famous as the great bliz-
producer of the world.
Without materially lessening the size
of the Big Butte. enough dirt and rock
might be removed from IL to fill up all
the abandoned shafts and holes i'm the
ground. Everywhere I'm the Butte dis
trict one meets old abandoned shafts
and open cuts and prospect holes. many
