# DAILY INTER MOUNTAIN. ## ADVERTISING RATES [advertising rate table — partially illegible] --- **MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1889.** ### WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE. We believe an impartial inspection of the work of the last legislature will give it far in advance of any of the sessions in the number of laws passed for needed reform. In point of importance other sessions, but in point of important reform and needed work it leads all. The measures individually were neither showy nor brilliant, but they seem to have possessed what is of far more value — a tendency to aid labor, industry and good hard common sense. The law which limits the hours of labor in mines is one of the best measures. If the laws enacted, first in importance is the registration law, which recognized to stop frauds at elections. It is the same measure which appeared in some form two years ago, but with a few slight modifications. The mine law, enacted by the law for regulating elections and the measures enacted known as the Australian system. The object of the latter is to give every voter an opportunity to make his ballot secret and uninfluenced. It advanced it will stop intimidation in many directions, for no one can ever be sure that the goods are secured when the employer resort to bulldozing and dictating how men shall vote. If it affords only this much it is worth enacting the ballot secretly. The House substitute bill is also an excellent measure, and has already borne good fruit in its effect upon the wool market, and the prices of wool receipts which were before carried on openly. The mine inspector bill is a good measure and one the passage of which will be hailed by the miners and attorneys in Montana. It insures a systematic arrangement and inspection of existing statutes and will result in recommendations that will be of inestimable benefit to coming legislatures. Another splendid law is the measure calling for the drawing of lots when petitions are set before us to stop the practices of the lottery. This measure is the outgrowth of a universal complaint among the people of the state, which great wrongs have no doubt been perpetrated. The mine inspector bill has become probably the most important measure on account of the opposition it encountered and the active discussion which gave and old Montana, although the bill has been given very meager treatment indeed. The measure is a good one, generally, and notably the independent sought for all measures submitted to legislatures to cripple or defeat it, and finally as is not altogether uncommon in sentiment and reform, the enemies have secured the appointment of their own spectre of a man totally unfit, either to discharge the duties of the office or to discharge the duties of the office. Still, the fact that the law is enacted, still has in it the elements which are likely to be productive of satisfactory results if intelligently executed. The laws prohibiting lotteries, regulating pawnbrokers, and the manufacture of poisonous drugs are all good and worthy of appreciation, and have met with popular approval. When these laws survive, there are other matters of state which must correct, straighten, or define existing statutes, the constitution of Montana is necessary. This is the first republican legislature which has ever sat in the territory of Montana, and its general conduct reflects only refold credit upon itself, but will strengthen the belief in the conservatism of the people. There has not been a single measure passed that was not essentially necessary, and the executive's opinions are only by his absence. --- ### THE COPPER OUTPUT. The dispassionate sulphate that no final arrangement has been made between the Anaconda Copper interest and the American copper mining syndicate and the trust proposition is much discussed among the producers for a limited period of eighteen months, that in the matter of control the syndicate must go to process, the contracts are altogether perfect, allowing a fair margin of profit to the producers, and the production may be restricted to what would be a fair price. It is likely that the trust for, the price during the period of the contract, although all the copper which the syndicate is permitted to control will be enforced upon it under the contracts at a certain price, other and proportionate profit to the producer, as the syndicate determines in value, and it seems to be so clear that condition at present seems to indicate that the price will surely go to figures much lower than the combination will operate on, but the present condition is which the syndicate office and cost must operate may be such as to operate in a loss. It seems logical that the companion will refuse to accept such a contract from the standpoint of public interest it is very unsatisfactory. The syndicating of the committee will derive a very precaution beyond that of a considerable reduction in price. With the syndication determined, in anticipation at the present time, there has been a marked increase in the consumption of copper for electrical and industrial purposes, and under such circumstances then should be drawn from consumption that which would ultimately have a more resulting effect upon prices than is fully balanced by the benefits of high prices obtained from the trust. As a matter an ordinary observer it would seem that unless the syndicate was able to handle a large quantity and thereby bring the thing nearer home, the output of Butte copper mines will necessarily be reduced to the utmost limit, assuring the employ- ment of even a largely increased number of men over the present forces. This, in turn, will add to the prosperity of all branches of business in Butte and increase the thrifty conditions of our business interests to the maximum. The future has never looked brighter for Butte. --- ### ST. PATRICK'S DAY. The Irish citizens of Butte, on account of St. Patrick's day falling upon Sunday, are observing it today instead. As usual there is a general closing down of the stores, numerous uninterrupted partial holiday. There is a numerous class among those who may be classed, St. Patrick's day observance relying upon the assertion of the nationality of those closely taking the patriotic observation, the Irish to a large degree, an occasion for patriotic thought and prayer on behalf of the unhappy condition of Ireland. These may well be more fitting topics, and how good St. Patrick were on earth today one of the leading vehicles of sympathy would be [illegible] to recommend the earnest patriotism which more than fills their hearts. Love of country is almost as high a virtue — second to love for God, and the nationality possesses it in a greater degree than the men of old Ireland. The Englishman, the German, or the Frenchman, may become a citizen of a foreign country and still retain fond memories of it, but after long years of absence, when he sees other young men growing, it is not often that love of the fatherland runs back enough to their heart to lead them back across the waters to offer their lives in its defense. But it would be difficult to find the Irishman who would not lay on his or's altar abandon his home and cross the sea to offer his hand to gladly fight for Ireland and die for her if need be. The sentiment of the Irish heart is as undying as the hills of that beautiful city years. The Irishman's love of country is not a mere emotion, it rests as the life and value of the beloved old land, and for no less, or rather for no better reason than ever before to hope for the early righting of Ireland's wrongs. The increasing resistance against English oppression which extends back almost to the days of St. Patrick, the old last bringing blessings upon the island, and the general tolerance and support of each noble mode as the day goes on. The Irish name in Montana will always occupy a bright place and in the hearts of all humanity and Irish hearts, the victory cannot be made long different. In the present century this point Ireland is a unit, all her feelings possessed is with her, the whole world joins in the verdict for justice, and it is only an arbitrary policy on the part of England which can delay further this dispute. --- ### THE MINE INSPECTOR BILL. Our esteemed democratic contemporary, the Independent, still keeps up the fire on this measure. Yesterday they published a long article, evidently intended to defeat the measure while praising it. The Independent is in a general sentiment against it and its promoters by the democratic members of the legislature. In Sunday's issue it says: "We understand that the bill relative to complaints regarding the safety of mines requires that it shall be unlawful for any mine owner to discharge an employee without first satisfying himself, by a thorough inspection of the mine, that the proper rules have been faithfully by workmen employed therein. "Under this section 7 of the law it will be seen that the inspector, after having investigated the complaints of the men in unsafe mines, must make an examination of the mine, and, if his report is favorable to the employees, may issue such directions as in his judgment are necessary to remedy." --- ### STANFORD'S PIKE. **The Hard Time of a Woman Who Was Married for Her Money Alone.** Nothing in the legal records in this county compares in sheer hardship to a Judge Plunke presiding, Mrs. Christine M. Gunning vs. Thomas B. Gunning, absolute divorce from Thomas B. Gunning, was commenced in San Francisco, Cal., recently. Plaintiff's name was changed to what it was at the time of her marriage. The plaintiff married Thomas B. Gunning, May 1883, 1884, in New York City. His parents' names are Thomas B. Gunning, Jr., were.

"God save thee Ireland's dear Shamrock: old Erin's native Shamrock; Says Value, 'See, they spring for us' Those lusty peons of morning.' Where'er they go the shamrocks grow — God save their country's singing, But Wit promises the triple leaves — Come from our Erin bringing."

"That the issue by 'bad debts' is the source of a very large part of what is an unmistakable business some credit cause fits of [illegible] commercial crisis, but that a matter of over production and over issue of a business comparatively indicates that in the last twenty years five times as many business enterprises have failed.
