be misused; how easy it would be to get
obnoxious members out of the way and
Jump bills through the House against
the wish of the people. He could not
see WHY Mr.. Baldwin and friends were
SO anxious to change the Constitution
the child of their own make. No ca
lamity had yet befallen the country since
we got the new Constitution, and we
could hardly yet judge about the work
ing of it; so why this hurry to change it
again. An animated discussion fol-
lowed. Mr. G. H. Dickey, of legislative
fame from the 1886 session, brought in
an amendment, which, he said would cut
all discussion short. 1t was, in fact,
new resolution to take the place of the
original, and to the effect that upon all
bills vetoed by the King and brought up
for reconsideration the Ministers have a
right to vote That was very nice and
modest proposal of Mr.. Dickey's. a
change to that effect in the Constitution
would just suit him and his friends at
ton was rejected, and Mr.. Baldwin &
Co. had enough Their other ten reso-
lutions were dropped for good. The
meeting adjourned sine die, and it is
impressed that he has not got the sup
port of the majority of his constituents; ;
that if in the coming session he con-
tinues to act as he did in the last-in ac
cord with his conscience, as he calls it
he is not doing the square thing to the
men who elected him to have him rep
resent their ideas, but certainly not his
own. If this meeting could have this
result on Mr. H. P. Baldwin it would
perhaps not be such an absolute failure
as it now appears.

THE FUTURE OF GERMANY.

It must be remembered that if the
term of Frederick's reign is likely to be
very near, that of Prince Bismarck's ca
reer cannot be very far away, and, when
the present Crown Prince comes to the
throne he will lack the Minister'S coun-
sci who gave to his grandfather so
much of his wonderful power. Even if
be should find new men of as great
ability, the situation will have been rad
ically changed. They will lack the pres
tige of their predecessors. They will
not have been the creators of the Ger
man unity, nor will they have the sane
ton of victory in two great wars for an
arbitrary and reactionary policy if they
should adopt one. In the meanwhile
the whole tendency of the time will be
to strengthen the nations consciousness
of it's regrets and to raise up leaders in
that cause. In every department of life
the necessities of modern competition,
the requirements of the industrial
struggle for existence, and the develop
ment of the energies of the people will
enforce the recognition of constantly
greater freedom and constantly less re-
striction and regulation by the Govern
ment. It is from these conditions, with
which, indeed, a great war would inter-
fere, but which such war could not
abolish, that the student of European
politics will derive the greatest encour-
agement for the future of Germany The

Emperor Frederick may wear the In

THE READING SITUATION.

Concerning the Reading strike a writer
il Bradstreet's estimates the number Of
men whose employment will be brought to
a staudstill by it, independent Of the rail-
road employees and miners, at 100, 900.
The industrial productive capacity at Phil
adelphia and in Eastern Pennsylvania al
fected by the strike is estimated to be
equal in value to 1000, 900 a week. This
stoppace Of industry at a time of year
when livingis highest is due to the rapacity
OF a great corporation in reducing the
wages OF it's laborers. The latter, that is
the miners employed in the Reading col.
lieries, simply refuse to work for the re-.
duced wages offered them. They want a
continuance OF the rate OF wages paid them
during the last four months of 1887. The
company refuse and in their refusal, besides
their own $4,000 employees OF whom
10000 are miners. they calmly contem-
plate the consequent idlenAs OF 100, 900
men engaged in industries dependent on the
steady continuance OF the coal supply for
work. The Mining and Financial Record
says OF it that 'iu this affair we see an
other proof OF the danger to the public
safety OF allo . ing an incorporated common
carrier to become a producer of any such
article OF general consumption as coal"
The Philadelphia Record says that by a
traffic arrangement between the Reading
and the Pennsylvania companies the price
coal in that city has been nearly doubled !
in a year which involves a tax on the fire.

A OBJECT,

The New Northwest notices an addition
contemplated to the curriculum OF the Col
lege OF Montana, which will result in the
creation OF a very useful adjunct to the
education afforded by that admirable in.
stitution. It is, the establishment Of a
School OF Mines, modelled upon the plan OF
the Columbia School OF Mines, New York,
and taught by three professors from there.
Two have been already secured in the per-
sons OF DR.. F. w. Traphagen, Professor of
Chemistry, and F. s. Notes.-The, Professor
of Mathematics. To insure the third it is
necessary to insure an annual salary of at
least $1,000. II is proposed t. secure
this by obtaining the promise OF ten stu
dents at $3.50 per year for a four-year
course. The advantages OF such a school
are se!f.evident. In it would be taught
mining, civil engineering, metatlurgy, chem
istry, assaying and similar branches the
profit Of which in this Territory OF unlim-
tied mineral resources is obvious. Several
such scholarships have already been applied
for, Inc two students OF the College of
Montana are in town at present for the
purpose OF inviting the assistance OF the
moneyed men OF this city. It is An oppor-
tunity to afford valuable assistance to a
most deserving object. A subscription of a
scholarship to be kept at the disposal OF
the donor would not be felt by many of
our rich citizens. and the money could
not be more worthily bestowed. II such an
addition can be made to the College o.
Montana, it will not be long ere the benefit
will be experienced in a field where it's want
has been specially felt for some time. The
wealthy residents of this city areinvited to
give the subject their most earnest consid.

GOVERNOR LEsLlE's Loss.

The news is brought over from Helena
that last Friday night Governor Leslie r.
ceived a disps tch from Kentucky that his
eldest son had died suddenly at his home
at the age Of A.. in the prime OF his man
hood and usefulness. He had been sick
only a short time and his death was unex-
pected. The Governor was unawar of his
sickness until he received the sad intelli-
gence. and the keenness OF his grief is inten-
slied by the TACT that. owing to the block
ade on the roads, he is debarred from pay
ing the remains of his son the last sad
tribute OF affection. The sympathy OF this
community in common with that
OF the balance OF the Territory will 60 out
in deep respect to our Governor in his
bereavement. The deceased ia reported to
have been a gentleman of fine attachments,
universally esteemed in the section in which
he lived, and the ~suddenness of the shock
to his aged father, who has endeared
himself by his many amiable qualities to
the people over whom he was sent to act
Governor, can be better imagined than
described, and will evoke the prayers of all
that God in His infinite mercy may
temper the asperity of the fathers attic

The accusation brought by Sir Wilfrid
Blunt against Secretary for Ireland bal
four, that he intended to imprison all OF
the physically weakest Parnellites with
the inhuman object of killing them by
harsh prison treatment, isincredible. Even
if the Irish Secretary had resolved upon
such a policy he would hardly confide it TO
a Radical OF the BIuut type. The object
Of the prosecutions of the Parnellite lead
ers is much more probably with a view of
muzzling them during the Parliamentary
session and thus Gripping the forces OF the
party in the House. The actual facts are
bad enough without charging delibei ate
and avowed intention Of murder on the
Irish Secretary. The Parnellites will have
P strong enough case before the country as
it is. and no excuse a dissipate the fact
that the enforcement of the coercion act is
a violation OF the underlying principles OF
free thought and free speech at the root OF
constitutional government. The Tory ad-
ministration hav cove~ad themselves with
in the eyes of lovers of freedom
and it will be impossible for
them to sustain their policy in the House
OF Commons at the ensuing session.

BUTTE WILL GET EVEN.

After the exertions made by West Side
citizens to have Montanians appointed to
the Supreme Bench, it will be a d%isappuint-
ment to them to see their efforts rendered
nugatory by a provoking coutretemps they
never calculated upon encountering. The
rumor is current that Colonel DeWolf can
not afford to sacrifice his interests here to
accept assignment to the East Side District
now left to him and that he will resign. In
that event an East Side District will be
short OF a Judge and a lawyer from that
section will be recommended to fill the
vacancy. From the superabundance OF
hungry office seekers watching for
such a chance in Helena au alto rney

presented for the office. and from the COM
Elaisauce shown by the President 10 favor

hand of the avaricious present capital be-
comes clear and distinct. and the feelings
OF friendship of the West Side communities
for it receive additional stimulus. The
West Side may have an opportunity for
showing its appreciation OF these favors
when it comes to considering the pre-emin-
ent claims of Bozernan to be a State CAPT.

WOMAN suffrage seems TO have q strong
hold on Washington Territory. The
measure has been re-enacted by the Terri
torial Council, and it is stated that the
s~uffragists have a majority Of three IN the
House so that the chance Of it becoming a
law OF the Territory again seems very
strong. At this time, while the Territory is
before Congress as AN applicant for admis-
sion as a State, such legislation seems
unwise as detrimental to it's interests. The
National Legislature is not at present dis
posed in favor of that extension OF the
franchise. Removal Of the Territorial
Capital is asso being agitated in the Wash
ington Legislature, but. as the Chronicle
very properly urges, that should be
postponed until statehood shall nave been
provided for and the boundary lines are
defined. This last means the ex-
pected annexation to Washington OF the
Idaho Panhandle. which would change the
aspect OF the capital question considerably
in selecting a central location.

The amendment proposed by Senator

prevail Of tFis Territory especially. It pro.
vides that TN the deposit OF gold or silver

Gates Their for may be issued at certain
Fixed prices. These are NO regulated that
the depositor is insured the full value Of

may be OF the denomination Of from two
dollars to one thousand, which affords a
"ide enough margin certainly for the ordi-
nary current OF trade. We venture to say,
if the amendment becomes a law, that
there will be more two-dollar certificates
than any other, as they are the
most convenient for the usages OF the peo.
pie at large. Should it pass. the country
will not be long at the mercy Of the gold
