GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
r. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER q. 1883.
SEMI-W EEKLY
THE CONFLICT.

The ':principle" for which the Iron
block boilers contend is that a county
canvassing board has authority to throw
out the lawful returns Of precinct
Stripped Of all verblage and misrepre-
sentation the conflict in Helena narrows
itself to the question: has canvassing
board the right to determine what returns
shall be counted. Judge Knowles de-
clared that it had not. Judge DeWolfe
reaftirmed that decision. Other judges
have done likewise, for the occasions are
many where persons have attempted
frauds like those enacted by the majority
of the Silver Bow board. The right Of
the majority to rule, the right of the peo-
pie to elect their own representatives, the
right of these representatives and no
other to make laws for the people, all
these rights are involved in the pending
conflict at Helena. They are all worth
fighting for. If we surrender them, we
yield principles as precious as those
for which the patriots fought and fell at
Bunker hill.
No compromise is possible under such
circumstances. Either the so-called
Butte representatives have full right and
title to sit in the house or they have not.
They either received a majority of the
votes cast on the 1st of October or they
do not There is no middle course. To
Al, Al, ho +y,o 1o
that we are governed by fraud and that
all the guards provided by the con
stitution have proved valueless in pro-
tecting the people from villiany and scoun-
drelism.
The democrats may rely that the peo-
pie will vindicate them. By opposing
fraud and battling the schemes of Blake,
Sanders and the rest, they are doing their
duty as fully as if they were engaged in
making laws or electing senators. 1t is
the Iron block mob not the democrats
that the people will hold responsible fol
for blocking the wheels OF legislation and
depriving Montana Of due representation
in the United States senate.
1t Isl gross shame that the sovereignty
of the people can be outraged and that q
body shall be allowed to enact {
burlesque on legislation at Helena. It is
gross injustice for members who were
chosen 10 serve the people to engage in a
conspiracy against tlem and refuse to sit
in the lawful house with the Lawful
representatives. OF all the crimes com
mitted in the name Of party this is the
worst In the end it will defeat the pur
pose for which it was intended. Fraue
will never win in Montana

lr was a brave act on the part Of the
men who on Saturday went down into the
Anaconda mine to take out the blasting
powder that threatened destruction to the
entire mine. They went down also with
the noble purpose of resculng four men
who were on the fatal level where smoke
was doing its deadly work.

Ex-ATroRNEy GENERAL CLAyBERe's
opinion ought to satisfy all fair-mind-
ed people that The Silver Bow represen-
tatives who hold county certificates are
the only ones from there who are entitl-
ed to make laws for Montana.

CONGRESSMAN CATER who knew moth
ing about the Silver Bow fraudulent can
vass when he wrote a letter to the Rolfe

arrived in Chicago. There he proved
himself an adept at Misrepresentation.

THE choice of Ex-Governor William
G. Squires as United States senator for
Washington corresponds with that of ex-
Governor Pierce in Dakota. Senator
Squires combines eastern training with
the broad spirit of the great west. He
has done much for the material advance
ment of Washington and will rise above
partisan considerations when the welfare
of the northwest is at stake.

On fair poll, Cascade county would
support the lawful house of representa-
tives by large majority. Messrs. Hastie
and Lochray do not represent Cascade
county when they take sides with the
Iron block mob.

THE democrats have done well in Sc
lecting the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. Hon. G. P. Blakely Of Gal
latin will discharge the duties of his posi-
tion with frmness and ability. He will
act fairly toward his political opponents
and do his part in rendering this legisla-
ture beneficial to all Montana.

According to the Constitution a.,

According to the Constitution of
the United States its citizens are
privileged to worship God according
to the dictates of their own conscien-
ces, but there are city and state laws
which punish people for being a
nuisance to themselves and an an
noyance 10 others. 1t must strike
every wefl-tbinking person that the
members of the Salvation Army will
come within the pale of this law when
they collect on street corners and
gather crow DIS abort them by their
rantiDgs. Probably a more disgrace
full affair never occurred in this city
than that which happened on Hunts
Wharf Sunday night. While these
men were singing and exhortiDg, fire
crackers and bombs were thrown in
their midst, to the amusement of the
crowd aud the disgust of the army, as
was shown by their retreat to their
barracks
If orr churches we're less linn
tied than they are there might be
all excuse for these people occupy
ing the street corners. No real last
ng good has ever come of their la
bors in this way, nor will it. You
cannot force men to become Chris
tians or even religious by following
them mp and parading in red jackets.
Has anyone heard of a man OF wo-
man being converted by the preach
ing OF tho crank barber, who ad-
dresses tho sky in lo1l voice and
fans the air with his arms twice every
Sunday at Hunts corner? Such
people soon become nuIsCDces and
just that moment they should be
stoppad.
The marshal forbid tia army US
ing the sidewalks when in process
sion, and one of the members ques-
toned his authority for pu ting them
off. We do not know whether there
is a law covering this or not, but it
might come under the act which for
bids blockin5 sidewalks. Thsse peo-
pie have q large, comfortable bar
racks where they can sing and preach
to their hearts content and no one
viii object, but those of our citizens
who wautsa quiet, peaceful sabbath
do object to having it broken by a lot
of temporary reiigionists like these
fellows, and the sooner some action
is teken in the matter the better.
Fights will follow il it is not done.

Gladstone has recently said that he
believed that if general election were
to be held now in Great Britain it
would result i'll q majority of 100 in the
House of Commons in favor of home
rule. This optimistic view of the po-
litical situation is presumably based
upon the bye elections which have been
held during the last two years, in
which the advantage has been very de-
cidedly with the Liberals.
Whether Gladstone be right or not,
it is certain that the English idea of
home rule has become very much mod
flied. The Liberals were defeated on
the Irish question chiefly because the
people of England believed that home
rule meant the independence of Ire
land and the disruption of the British
empire. They could not grasp the idea
of the dual government, which is SO
we'll understood by the American peo-
pie, and could not conceive of local
sovereignty which would work in har-
mony with the imperial power. Now,
however, the middle classes in Eng.
land have come to something like an
appreciation of the possibility of home
rule without an assault upon the Crown
and see that a country or n city or a
shire may manage its local affairs for
itself and yet recognize to the full the
sovereignty of the imperial govern
ment. We say they have come to un-
derstand this, at least in part, for in no
other way can the gains of the Liberal
party in England and Scotland be ac-
counted for.
AS has been suggested heretofore,
there is one way i'll which the Conser-
vatiye party may retain its hold upon
the people of Great Britain, and that
is by abandoning the doctrines of free
trade and taking up the policy of pro-
lection, or fair trade as they seem to
, prefer to call it there. Free trade is no
longer the powerful spell to conjure
with that it was twenty or even ten
( years ago. The remarkable progress of
/ the United States under protective
policy is an argument which admits
of no answer, and when with it is
coupled the decay of England's agri-
cultural interests, people there will go
to thinking and wondering whether
the cheap loaf is not very dear bread
after all. Lord Salisbury undoubtedly
sees the situation in its true light, and
it will not be anything strange if the
next general election, whenever it may
come, is fought under the tariff banner,
in which case home rule will become a
minor issue.

America does not need this immi-
grafton, but SO long as the immigrants
are decent, honest, respectable and in
dustrious we can hardly find an excuse
for excluding them. And is it not q
marvellous country which can receive
and absorb nearly 400, 900 people in ten
months and suffer no perceptible dis
turbance of her social and economic
conditions? Were One-fourth of that
number to come into any country in
Europe in the same space of time
there would be riots without number
and scenes of violence and bIoodshed.
! The authorities would be forced TO in
terfere and stop immigration; and yet
when we propose to protect ourselves
simply against undesirable immigrants
some of the nations of Europe protest
as though the United States were in
juring them. Their protest has not
been needed, and it will not be, but
that it should be made shows the diff
ference between those nations and our
own.

Pustmaster-General Wanamaker,s

Pustmaster-General Wanamaker's
report discusses various measures of
reform i'll the postal service, all of
which seem to be well considered; but
what this city-and, in fact, the whole
Pacific COASTS chiefly interested in is
reform in the San Francisco pOstoffice
/ That Office is the great distributing
center of the whole coast, and delays
or incflicicncy in the work of that office
are felt all over the Pacific slope.
The primary need of the San Fran
cisco office is an increase in the work
ing force. The Postmaster cannot be
held to strict accountability so long
as he is shoFt-nanded, for he himself
cannot say with accuracy whether mis-
takes and delays are due to inefficiency
on tue part of his employees OF to ina
biiity to do the work assigned to them.
Atany rate he is supplied with a suf-
ficient excuse TO shield himself from
blame, for so long Us the department.
declines To give him the necessary as
sistancc he can always fall back on
that, even though his employees may
not work diligently or efficiently.
1t is understood that an investigation
OF the san Francisco Office has been
ordered, with view to an increase of
the force ii the report of the inspector
shall warrant it; and no one who has
any knowledge of the remarkable in
crease of the business of that Office dur
ing the past few years can doubt what
thai report will be. San Francisco
| stands high up on the list of cities do
ing large postal business, and our de-
mand for increased facilities is entirely
just and reasonable.
MIR. Wanamaker, if he he the prac-
teal business man he is credited with
being, will see the necessity of perfec-
ting the present postal service before
he branches out into experiments. The
money devoted to the PostoiTice De-
paFiment has not been used as judi
ciously as it might by Mr.. Wanama-
>cr'S predecessors, especially in the
West. What is needed now is to stop
leaks and tie up loose ends, thus in
creasing the efficiency of the present
service. When that has been accom-
plishei it will be plenty of time to
strike out new lines and project new
enterprises.-S. +. Chronicle.

English papers, like the London
Times and Post, which were all ready
to pouncc upon the Presidents mes
sage on account of the iingOism which
they thought ii would be sure to con-
tain, are compelled to acknowledge
that It * 4 dispassiOnate and moderate
document, cordial in tone and peaceful
and progressive i'll principle. The other
leading London journals, such as the
Standard, the News and the Telegraph,
agree that the message is conservative,
but they doubt whether some of the re-
forms suggested by the President can
be carried into effect.
This last style of comment is to be
expected from the English papers.
They think, or at least, affect to think,
that reform Of any kind is impossible
i'll the United States. They have
hdTpcd so long on the string of corrup-
tton in American politics that their
Tyre refuses to respond to any other
tune. That and the ineradicabIe be-
lief that Mr.. Blaine is Il secret member

first presidency of the Irish republic,

British journals, so far as America is
concerned, though there are some jour
nais, like Labouchere's Truth, which
have Il very correct conception of af
fairs Of various sorts in the United
/ States.
American politics are not any too de,
cent ii is true, but it may be safely
said that no political party in this
! country ever nurscd such q scandal as
the one which is now agItating Lon.
don, i'll order to use it as a political
/ weapon against their adversaries; and
/ that is just what is being charged
/ against the Liberal leaders at this very

pas. half century, or, indeed, since the
battle Of Waterloo. The fact is thai
President Harrison's message is 81
even-tcmpered and statesmanlike that
| the London papers cannot find fault
with it, and SO venture into the realm
of prediction instead of confining
! themselves to the domain of criticism
