Show j Tho biting sarcasm of the sentence which Judge Foster of Xev York imposed upon Emil II. Xeu-mer Xeu-mer conveys more force than an hour's sermon filled with cant and verbiage. Xeumcr is only a clerk, one of the small fry in the Equitable graft. Said Judge Foster: "Your methods wrerc very crude and bungling. If you had, instead of collusion with an outsider, colluded with an insider and 'thereby had your salary raised to $50,000, and then divided with the other man, the result would have been hurtful to policy holders, but possibly you would not have been at the bar of justice." Xeumcr gave the policy to Samuel Lobley, who borrowed money on it and who is now in Siug Sing for the offense. of-fense. , Various estimates of the payroll of Butteiave been made, but a banker of that city, who is in a position to know something of the actual figures, places the monthly distribution that takes place there at something over two million dollars. The last census credited Butte with 30,000 inhabitants, notoriously incorrect. But supposing it to be twice that number, there is no city in the country, population popu-lation considered, that can show up a payroll per capita as large as Butte's. A large payroll is the besj -foundation to build. up a. city, and -if its people would let acrimonious politics alone and join together for such an end, Butte could outstrip any city in the intermountain west. |
