by representing 70 them that he re-
garded their treatment as too severe,
and that he only acquipsced in it
through compulSion. Meantime, he

opinions to his brother officials, When
the inquest upon Mr.. Mandeville took

upon to give evidence, be could not
face the threatened exposure. If he
told the truth as to the effect of the
prison treatment on Mr.. Vaudeville,
he knew that the Nationalist would
show him no mercy in regard to
divulging his private communications
with them, and would, besides, ruin
him in hiSprivate capacity, If he stated
what was not true-namely, that MIR.
Vaudeville had suffered in health
while III prison-he would be CON
founded by his own official state
mentS. From such n predicament
the unhappy man sought refuge in
death. That is how we read the cir
cumstanceS that led up to DIR. Ridley's
suicide, Our reading may be wong,
though, after careful consideration,
it seems to US the most likely. In
a word, DR.. Ridley, a weak, sensitive
man, inundated INTO doing wrong
by the known t%erocity and unscrup-
uIousness Of the Nationalist, com
mitted suicide rather than face the
exposure which he knew they had the
power to make.

The Times of Monday publishes an
interesting despatch from Sir Robert
Morier in regard TO our commercial
relations with Siberia. It has been
known for some years that it was
possible for ships TO pass through the
Iron Gates Of the Kara Sea, and en-
ter the Atctic gulf into which drain,
the great Siberian rivers, the Yenisei
and the Obi,-rivers to be compared
with the st. Lawrence or the MisSis-
sippi, and navigable for nearly two
thousand miles for vessels of large
draught. Now, however, the original
discoverer of the passage, Captain
Wiggins, has returned to the venture
first undertaken by him tortylyears ago.
Helastyear succeeded in navigating IN
iron steamer of four hundred tons, the
phoenix, from Newcastle on-Tyne,
through the Iron Gates, and two
thousand miles up the Yenisei to Yen
iseiSk, the first large town on that
river. There at this moment lies the
"Phenix," of Newcastle, in the heart
of Asia, and only a few hundred versts
from the Chinese frontier. In navi-
eating his vessel up the unknown
river, Captain Virgins was helped
by the blind chief of a SamoYede
tribe, whose accurate descriptions
from memory of the landmarks ena-
bled the "P1enix' to ascend in safe
ty." The chief had known Captain
Virgins eleven years before, and re-
~cognIzed him by his voice. The Rus
sian Government have wisely and
generously acknowledged the service
done them by Captain Virgins, and
have granted a five years concession
for free entry of certain classes of
goods up the Yenisei, and a similar
concession for n year up the Obi.
If this trade route can be regularly
kept open, it is difficult to overesti-
MAZE its Importance in the develop
menf Of Siheria.

ABOUT

Among other things the editor of the
Benton Wool Grower lets worry his little
soul is the management of the Great
Falls Water Power & Townsite Company.
One might imagine by his walls of dis
tress and the amount of gratuitous advice
he offers that he was largely concerned
in the affairs of the company, and that
upon the issue hung his fate, or some
other equally dreadful thing. It is need
less to say that such is not the case. This
gives US an opportunity to say that which
is acknowledged on every hand, that the
management of the affairs of this com
pany has been marked by wisdom, pru-
dence, foresight, and a degree of success
rarely if ever attained in like undertake
ings. The results speak for themselves,
and show conclusiyely that Mr.. Gibson's
conception of the strength of this point
was wholly correct, and that his manage
ment and direction in the upbuilding of
the town from its infancy to the present
day, when it has reached the position of
first importance in northern Montana,
has been masterful and almost unparal-
leled. 1t is this very success that has
stirred up the rancor of a small crowd of
the Peck class, for
Base envy withers at another's JOY
And hates that excellence it cannot reach.
Great Falls growth has not only been
rapid, but more substantial in its first
years than that of any other town in the
northwest. 1t has never had a "boom,n
unless a healthy and rapid advancement
in strict accordance with the require
ments of business may be SO termed. It
has never sought in any way to deceive
the public, and its every pledge has been
more than fulfilled. The results already
achieved are greater han was expected,
n there is not only a promise of a
bright immediate future, but an absolute
assurance of it.
While the editor of the Benton boom
pamphlet pretends to ignore these patent
and remarkable facts, he blows up his
lungs and Justify yells out, land contests!
land contests /" Did anyone ever hear
in these latter years of a land contest at
Benton, or at Sun River, or any of the
other towns of northern Montana? The
contests that have arisen is but an evil
dence of the good management of the
toWnsite owners and officers whose grand
project and successful enterprise has
rendered valuable, not only the property
within the town plat, but as we'll outside
lands for miles about. It requires sue
cess of this sort to bring to the front the
miserable horde of land-jumpers and
their consorts and abettors like Peck.
We doubt if an important town was. ever
founded that did not have much the
same experience. But when the Great
Falls land.jumpers get away with any
thing, if the wool growers of this section
continue to sustain a Benton boom pam
phlet, alleged to be "heartily devoted to
their interests we will be glad to have
Peck the fact in its columns.

THE REDUCTION WORKS.

The Montana Smelling Company,
which has been formed to establish
reduction works here, has a simple,
expressive title, which explains clearly
that it intends to smelt Montana ores, not
the ores of III locality, but from all parts
of the territory. The company has ample
capital stock for the largest undertaking,
and it is invested with powers which will
enable it to carry out extensive improve
ments, own and work mines, and conduct
every stage in the reduction and refine
ment of all metals, iron included.
The directors and stockholders are
men of high standing in financial circles.
The Gurnees are New York capitalists.
Edward Cooper is a SOL of Peter Cooper,
the enterprising manufacturer, who
founded the Cooper Institute and gener-
ously endowed it. Mr.. Cooper has been
mayor of New York, and has increased
largely the great wealth which he inner
tied from his honored father, who was
partner in the firm of Cooper, Hewitt &
Co., the most extensive rolled iron manu-
facturers in the east. Anton Eilers comes
from the great works at Pueblo, Colorado,
which were established to smelt the ores
of Leadville and elsewhere with the coal
that is procured near by. He is the most
successful smelter in the country and an
authority upon all that concerns metal
lurgy. Mr.. Child is we'll known as the
successful manager Of the Gloster mine.
Associated with these as stockholders are
James J. Hill, colonel Broadwater and
others, who are all interested in Great
Falls, and are also part owners in the
Red mountain mines.
The new enterprise starts, therefore,
under the most favorable conditions. It
has practically unlimited capital at its
command, and it is in the hands of men |
who have the ability and energy to make |
these reduction works the greatest in the |
world. |

It appears that Russia is determined to
make Bulgaria little more than a prov
ince of her empire. She demands that
a prince who suits her shall be selected
and that Russian officers shall be APP
pointed for the army. If these demands
are not granted Russia will call upon
Austria to give up Bosnia and Herzego-
vina. 1t is a question of spells, after all.
Russia sees Austria holding these provin-
ces and finds England in practical control
of Egypt. She concludes that the prop
erty of the Ottoman empire has not been
fairly divided, and accordingly her troops
are massed in Poland ready, to march
when war is proclaimed.

EDITOR TRIBUNE; Dear Sir:--WilI
you allow the space III your valuable
journal to give expression to the
general sentiments of many good Re
publicans in this locality, who are
deeirous IF succe.t browning our
party's efforts in the coming cain
paign. Judging from what can be
cleaned from the large metropolitan
daliee, Me-srr. Sherman, Blaine and
Gresham seem TO he in the lend. as
to choice of candidates. Whethc'
any one of the above named gentle
men will receive the nomination is
u question that the future will de-
eide, but should either of them be
nominated can they be elected?
That's the question. If the party
unite on any popular candidate why
certainly there can be no doubt of
his election. Unity in the party's
ranks will do the work certainly.
The silly fusilade of the Demo-
cratic.press on the gentlemen named
as the probable candidate is only
done to brighten timid Republicans.
Let the convention when it meets
scan the field over closely, then
name the man of the peoples choice
with a solid protection platform
upon which to stand, then where can
be the doubt of victory. Suppose
it be either Sherman, Blaine or
Greshem. What is in the make up of
these gentlemen that they cannot
lead the party to victory. Mr..
Sherman stands IN theforemost rank
of American statesmen, an able
financier and true Republican.
Mr.. Blaine has no equal on this
continent as bold, dashing and
fearless leader, an astute statesman,
reasoner and thinker, one that
would fill the position with honor
and credit to himself and fellow
countrymen. But says some, he
has declined; suppose he has, is that
a preventive to bis party nominal
ing him if they desire. No sir, End
we believe that if lie was nominate
ed with any degree of unanimity he
would cheerfulIY accept to the
wishes of his party and lead them to
assured victory. Mr.. Gresham is
also an able gentleman, honest,
learned and loyal. The three great
teuets in the make up of a success
tul candidate.
We have given you the vie ws of
mary friends as we hear them daily
expressed. Men,who desire go see
their party succeed, aud who is not
so "hide bound" to any particlar
candidate that they would kick" if
their particular choice ia not nonIi-
mated. Thanking YOU sir for the
space, / still continue a careful
