ALTHOUGH the Chinese question is
undoubtedly settled for all time so far
as Great 'alls is concerned, yet our
people are taking an interest in its
agitation, and particular so in Butte,
which is, in a strict sense of the word,
a workingman's town. The circular
which was issued, purporting tocome
from the Knights of Labor, of that
city is strong, i.nd reads a; fellows:
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!
W1HEREAS, We view with constorna
tion the growing evil, the "Chinaman"
in our midst, and knowing him to be
detrimental to the best interests of
this country, and not havilng anything
in common with our institutions, we,
the working men, once and for all,
have decided that we will not tolerate I
them in our midst. They have come i
into our fair land with all the hellish
customs of their race, prostituting our
children to all the evil habits and
degredation the mind can conceive.
and we ask all good citizens to join i
us in ridding this community of a
post. It is essential to the well blii g
of'this city that they soui1 be remov
ed imu ediatey. I
We do not desire to create any a
hardships to the business men or the
general public of this city. There- c
fore we give them until the
0
1sT DAY or oC'oa uy, 1SSo,
to replace the Celestials with other I
labor. Failing to do so in that time
we will institute a vigorous boycott a
on all those who. directly or indirect- o
ly, will in any way contribute to their 4
support. We have determined that
they must go, "PEACEABLY IF THEY WILL
AND FORCiBLY IF NEEDS BE. e
KNIGNTS OF LABOR. I
The Inter Mountain editorially, ti
commenting upon the Chinese ques- tc
tion, advocates the following, which all p
sensible and thinking Americans will tl
endorse: d
* * * The Chinese are here under ii
the protection of a solemn and bind- ti
ing international treaty. and they have d
certain rights which patriotic Ameri
cans will not deny them --the same n
rights which Americans in China have. et
But it does not fohow that we are un- ds
der any obligations to inmpioy Chi a
nese labor and if the people will em
ploy oily white labor the heathen, d
being noable to earn a living, will 01
pack their gunny sacks and go home, t
every mother's son of thei. The d(
sooner they go the better. They are
a nuisance and a curse to the country. te
But peaceful measures if judicially C(
resorted to will prove all suflicient ! p1
and we believe such is the campaign rn
mapped out by the labor organiza
tions of Montana. The inter c
Mountain is unalterably opposed to g
Chinese cheap labor, but if the heath- ar
are to go. they must be allowed to go a
in peace and good order ---not under B
threats of violence but because they
cannot get work, if the citizens gi
choose not to give it to them. OLher- th
wise the action of congress must be ti,
awaited. The honor of the United cc
States government is at stake in this
matter.
While the TRIBUNE advocates the i
suppression of Chinese cheap labor, h
yet to gain that end it does not advo- 1
cate their persecution as a -means of ti
bringing about the desired effect. d
The Chinese were accorded the right a
to reside in America by international P
treaty, and until that treaty is annull
ed by act of congress, the Chinamen
undoubtedly have the same rights and A
privilkges in America, that the Amer -
cans have in China, and unless we
want to jeopardize the lives of our n
countrymen in China, we must avoid c
violence in dealing with the Chinese I
on American soil. The pressure f
which will be brought to bear upon
congress at the next session will un- s
doubtedly have the effect of bringing a
about stringent anti-Chinese legisla- h
tion, and it is only a matter of time fl
until the Chinese residents of Ameri- *
ca will be shipped back to the Flow- q
ery Kingdom, bag and baggage. Let 1I
the day be hastened. 0
A PREss dispatch from Helena, says:
"Work has been commenced by the S
Union Pacific replacing the narrow
gauge bridges of the Utah Northern p
with standard gauge bridges of the o
most substantial pattern. This is to t1
be done along the line from Pocatillo
to Garrison. From this the fact is m
apparent that the Utah Northern is to g
be made a standard gauge between in
those points, and the rumor is gener- fc
ally confirmed that the road will be
extended to Helena." I
It is reasonable to suppose that if ti
the (Utah Northern build to Helena, t4
they will also extend their line into S
northern Montana so as to tap the fa
mous Sand Coulee coal fields. C
BusnsEss seems to be reviving all S
over the country. The Trade Bullet- v
in sums up the situation as follows:
"There is a revival of confidence, an
increase in the consumption of nearly la
all manufactured products and a
strong tendency to higher prices, in
many instances high prices have al
ready been realized. Business is cer
tainly better, and in wool and woolen
goods, steel rails, gas and other pipes, u
and some other specialties it is ve
much bettor. The tide has

WAS!iINGTUN LETTER.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
WAAssINerox, Sept. 11, 1883.
The first Cabinet meeting since the
Presidnet's return was held on Mon
day, Secretaries Bayard, Manning
and Lanar, being present. The Aus
trian nmssion and the Wyoming
troubles were discussed. The meet
inn commencing at 11 a. ni.. and con
tning until late in the afternoon.
Consultations in relation to recom
miendations to Congress consumed
most of the time.
The question of appointing demo- c
crats to offices held by republicans is
one that confronts the President on
his return. Some of those vho. either
for themselves or others. want places,
are already on hand. The Ohio demn
ocrats want control of the federal of
flees of that state to aid the- in the
pending political canvass, and consid-l
erable pressure will be brought to I
bear upon the President to grant I
them this aid. The Presi tent's at- l
tention will be urgently called to the f
political status of the Senate. and to I
the feasibility of making that body
democratic during his term. Accord
ing to the democratic calculations
their party' may count upon electing s
democratic successors to eight of the
nine who 'o out on their side. They
count Delaware, Florida, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Tex
as and West Virginia as safe to elect a
democratic Senators, and admit that
out of the nine outgoing democrats,
the seat of only Fair, of Nevada, is f.
doubtful. With regard to the six- n
teen retiring republicans, democrats
contend that eight of them can be re
placed by democrats by good manage- a
ment. If the democrats could suc- p
ceed in making their estimates hold
good they would gain nine Senators
and lose one, which would give them n
a majority of eight in the Senate. r
But in all calculations of success in b
getting control of the upper house of t]
the national legislature, the distribu
tion of federal patronage in the states d
counted upon to return democratic
Senators instead of republicans, is re- 1
lied upon. Well informed democra ts a
however. are riot sanguine of receiv-, b
ing assistance from the Administra- fi
tion, whose policy as far as can be s
discerned, has been to avoid the very 4,
appearanee of interference in State r
politics.
The appointment of Mrs. Mulligan
to succeed Miss Sweet as Pension
Agent at Chicago, ends a somewhat
memorable contest. In April last,
Gen. Black wrote to Miss Sweet de
manding her resignation and she de
clined to resign and appealed to the
President for protection. Tuesday's
mail brought a letter to the White
House from Miss Sweet, in which she
says that having accepted the Eastern
agency of an enterprise having its
headquarters in Chicago, she respect
fully tenders her resignation as pen
sion agent to take effect upon the
qualification of her successor. The
letter concludes with an expression
of thanks to the President and Cab
inet for courtesies and consideration.
The President referred the letter to
Secretary Lamar, and he yesterday
recommended Mrs. Mulligan's ap
pointment. Mrs. Mulligan is widow
of the Union officer who organized
the original Mulligan Brigade, and as
such is a woman with claims on a
grateful country. She has been Com
missioner Black's choice for the place
for some time, and by her appoint
ment Gen. Black has settled a ques
tion that was becoming of some in
terest, namely, whether he or Miss
Sweet was boss of his office.
Judge Bryant, Assistant Attorney
General for the Postoffice Depart
ment, returned to the city today. He
has been up in the woods near Lake
Superior with Postmaster General
Vilas. He days that CoL Vilas has
gained five pounds. The fish stories
that he tells would necessitate the en
largement of your columns to repro
duce them.
The officials in the United States
Treasury are well pleased with the
financial exhibit of the month of Aug
ust during which the debt was reduc
ed nearly three millions. They con
er all the figures to be indicative
a revival of business and that the
pect is now brighter than at any
e within the last yea .* From tke
.g point of view of public revenues the
appearances are equally encouraging;
d there has been a very general upward
e tendency and the gold fundhasstead
s ily incressed.
It is said that Mr. Hewitt of New
>I York is again engaged in the prepar
it ation of a bill to remove the duties on
:' raw materials, and that he expects his
d bill will be passed. It is said that an
z- attempt will be made to present the
g bill that it will meet with the approv
al of Mr. Carlisle and other promi
f nent democrats, who have heretofore
t been unable to agree upon any pro
posed measure for tariff reduction.
it WESTERN CATTLE MEN.
1 Recent shipments of eastern Wash
ington and Oregon cattle to England,
e says the Walla Walla Union, have
- awakened considerable interest, par
ticularly among trade competitors.
These cattle, it appears, were driven
eastward and finally shipped on board
vessels at Duluth. A British trade
paper, commenting upon this ship
ment, states that the dead-meat has
proved a failure to all intents and
purposes. Not only does the meat
o lose in quality, but the weight shrinks
by more than 6 per cent. The live
Icattle trade, however, it regards as a
far more serious matter. That Wyo
. miing territory alone sends from its
borders nearly enough meat to satis
fv the requiremlents of London, and
now that the northern system of rail
ways is finished transit is compartive
l ly an easy thing. Three-year old bul
locks, weighing 1,000 pounds each,
can be bought at railroads points in
Montana and Dakota for 31 per head.
Transportation from Montana to Lon
don adds '2.S0 to this figure, and at
hese rates `"it will be found that in
- this trade of supplying London with
cattle from the great prairies of the
Northwest there is an enormous and
- profitable field for enterprise." The
low figure is arrived at by direct ship
ments, without the intervention of
_ brokers, while cattle which are taken
from some other source of supply I
pass through half a dozen hands.
A 11I\T SENSATION.
The San Francisco Call contains a
sensational account of an alleged at
tempt to rob the United States branch
mint by means of underground work
ings. According to this narative, the
would be robbers attempted to gain
access to the main sewer on Mission
street and follow it up to the mint,
where they intended to run a tunnel
from the sewer, penetrate the base
ment wall and thus gain access to the
vanlts. A few months since two men
rented the basement of the building
at 775 Mission street, and immediate
ly took possession thereof. They paid
a month's rent in advance, and for
sometime nothing was thought of the
matter. At length, however, the cu
riosity of the neighbors was aroused
by the apparent secrecy with which
the newcomers conducted their busi
ness. When asked what they were
doing, they said they were working
on an "invention." Recently both.
men disappeared, leaving rent unpaid,
and the door of the basement was
burst open by the proprietor. It was
found that a tunnel, a foot and a half
square, had been dug under the street
to a distance of sixteen feet, in the di
rection of the main sewer.
