A LURID EDITORIAL
DECLARING WAR
AGAINST MEXICO.

1--WE declined, and because we de-
clined such epithets as alien cow
ard tory ETC., have been flung at us
by unseen fingers. We don't propose
to plunge the United States into long
and bloody war to accommodate half a
dozen suckers and greenhorns, and
those who don't like our policy in this
respect can lump it. All orders to
stop my paper will meet with prompt
ness and dispatch.

Tuesday night last, just before mid
night, our peaceful village was aroused
by the cry of fret There was a gem
eral turnout at once, and it was dis
covered that the Empire Block was a
mass of flames. In half an hour the
block was wiped out, and everybody
was back in bed again. Loss, 5000;
fully insured.
1.-The above is a square and truthful
statement of the first fire which has
ever occurred on Apache avenue. On
the day following score or more of
our leading citizens visited the Kicker
Office with suggestions of how we
should write up this calamity. They
wanted it to 60 out to the world as
big thing to boom the town. 1t was
suggested that we make at least
three-column article, and top-dress it

. DESTRUCTION.

The Helena Herald says: "The Arkan-
sas Breckenridge has announced himself
ready to carry out the notification
scheme suggested by Major Maginnis to
prevent the admission Of Dakota or any
other new states" Major Maginnis spoke
of the probability of filibustering, but he
informed us that he is in favor of the
speedy admission of Montana. The
Major, who is Montanian first, last and
all the time, doubtless, discerns that the
democratic party would lose more than
it could gain by retardlng the admission
of Montana. That course would serious
ly injure the party IN this territory and
damage it among all democrats who place
fair play and justice above party expedi.
ency. Itwould not do to point to repub-
lican shortcomings in regard to the ter
ritories. Both parties have much to
answer for on that score, but the country
will now take up the question anew with
out much regard to former schemes. Let
the democratic party be sure that it is
right and then go ahead. 1t can only be
right by placing statehood on its banner
and denouncing obstruction as absurd
and degrading. Let the majority rule,
we say, when statehood is at stake. The
party which tilibusters is lost.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1883.
SEMI-W EEKLY
GREAT FALLS ADVANCING.

Helena, Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls. Such is the numerical order of
the Montana cities that cast the greatest
number Of votes at the recent election
So that this young city stands already
fourth on the list. In elements Of gener-
al civic growth we should rank next to
Butte, because Anaconda owes its big
vote largely to the working population
and not to mixed community of bust
ness men and laborers, such as we have
here permanently.
In counties the order is Lewis and
Clarke, Silver Bow, Deer Lodge and Cas-
cade Thus has our county, which is not
yet legally year old, distanced the II
others and stands today in wealth and re
sources combined higher than any OF
them. The near future will prove it,

IT appears from the following editorial
item in the Independent that the capital
is prepared to consume freely the famed
Sand Coulee coal: "The information
that the visit of President Hill, of the
Manitoba railway, to this section is for
the purpose of pushing the development
of the Sand Coulee coal mines will be
welcome to the business men and house
holders of Helena and the country round
about. The fuel question has received
altogether too little attention heretofore.
With fine coal mines accessible in many
directions, there should be an abundance
of coal at moderate prices fol- manufac-
turing and domestic consumption. 1t will
be found ultimately that there is as much
profit in the production of coal as of the
precious minerals, and it will tend quite
as much to the prosperity of the territory.
Montana will not be found lacking in
fuel supply when the time shall come for
its development, and the indications are
chat time is not far distant"

"WALK right in" is what we can say to
all who are in quest of homesteads on
what was the great northern reservation.
Surveys are desirable, but much land has
been settled securely without them
throughout the country and the like can
still be done. Still we value the plea
which the Helena independent makes
for the speedy survey of these lands.
That journal says: "The opening of the
great northern reservation to settlement
will be great thing for Montana, as it
will bring into the market seventeen and
half million acres of land, large por-
ton of which is admirably adapted for
grazing purposes. 1t also embraces
numerous fertile valleys. The result of
the opening up of this vast tract will be
to bring more agriculturalists to the ter
ritery and add very materially to the al
ready large live stock interests of the sec
ton. tits sincerely to be regretted that
congress has not already made appropria-
ton for the survey Of the reservation. If
congress has erred in one direction more
than another it is in having refused to
extend that aid to the territories in such
ways as this which is absolutely needed"

The Boulder Age trots out Judge
Knowles for governor, in order to com,
pensate him for the wrong Helena did
him four years ago when that tickle city
defeated him for congress. 1t would be
wise and proper for the Age and other
Journals which have begun to parcel out
the spoils to read the republican plat
form in which the principles of civil SER
vice reform are reasserted. 1t will hard
ly do to assert that all the other planks
anust be enforced while this is rejected
The democratic party is so strong in the
senate, house and country that any at
tempt to carry things with high hand
will provoke stubborn resistance. As for
Judge Knowles, he should be left in the
obscurity he has so we'll earned. The
world has moved many decades ahead of
him

One of the greatest outrages recently
committed in this community is the re-
port that appears in tho morning local
sheet, in which a mass ,of bombast and
sickening nonsense is palmed off as the
inaugural address Of Mayor Gibson. The
latter is justly indignant at the imposi-
ton, for it places him in ridiculous
light. Mr.. Gibson never wrote OF uttered
such "hifalutin" in his life-not even
when he was sophomore in colleges and
those who know him will at once detect
the forgery and recognize the fact that he
has been outrageously imposed upon.
The facts in the case seem to be that the
local sheet did not have the enterprise to
secure a copy or make a report of the ad-
dress, so an extract from one of Nc
Knights spread-eagle letters to the Pho
neer Press was substituted and our hon
ored mayor was made to appear in about
as ridiculous light as he could be put.
No wonder he was in frantic mood this
morning or that he should comment upon
the trouble a man is likely to get into as
soon as he accepts public office. The
clear, forcible, business-like inaugural Of
Mr.. Gibson appears in full and just as it
was delivered in today's TRIBUNE. 1t is
as much like the slush that was palmed
off as the address as one of the Junius
letters resembles school girls compost

THE CITY COUNCIL.

The city council began we'll last even
ing. All the aldermen were on hand and
listened attentively to the excellent mes
sage of Mayor Gibson. That admirable
document, of which we publish the exact
text to-day, was eminently appropriate.
After alluding to the growth of the city
and the prominent part it will play as an
industrial center, Mr.. Gibson very proper
ly directed special attention to matters Of
immediate concern. displaying sagaciiy
and thoughtfulness which render it clear
that as mayor he is the right man in the
right place. His opinions on water
works are sound and practical. He laid
particular stress on the duty Of the coun-
Gil TO ensure that the water supply shall
yet be entirely under public control, in
order that the people may draw freely
from the bounttul supply which
tie broad NJ ssouri has placed at our
doors.
In speaking of tree planting and public
parks, Mr.. Gibson showed that his
oIinions are in accord with the most adj
vtfcd promoters Of city adjournment "9d
public recreation grounds. He favors the
judicious distribution Of trees and lawns
throughout the city in order that the most
attractive features of Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Denver and other large cities may
be reproduced here where the conditions
are more favorable than in many places
that have achieved success in street adorn-
mont. Mr.. Gibson is likewise mindful Of
the importance Of public parks, and would
have provision made for them before land
| becomes scarce and dear. This is the lesson
which most large cities teach Such places
learned too late the importance of secur-
ing public grounds before streets and
avenues render it impracticable to Sc.
cure land at reasonable price and in the
proper location. "".m.5
In referring to ordinances, Mr.. Gibson
paid well-merited tribute to the good
order which prevails here and suggested
that the board adopt only such ordinan-
ces as are actually needed. We hope
that the aldermen will heed these sug-
gestions and evince like practical
spirit. They have for the most part grown
up with the town and are all qualified to
legislate wisely for it.

Butte in the Lead

The copper production of Butte this
year will crowd 12o,o0o,O0O pounds. And
yet there is not copper mine in the
district that is developed below the 1000
foot station. Indeed, only one of them
is opened to that depth and that has
enough ore in sight to last for the next
ten years. In the course of few years
the Calumet & Hecla, Osceola, Tamarack
and other properties in the lake region
will be mere prospect holes compared to
the great Anaconda, Mountain View, Par
rot and Chamber syndicate properties.
Michigan has already given up the fight
and is content to take second place in the
table of production this year.-Butte
