"Something had to be done" is the ex-
cuse of republican organs for Richards
misconduct. If judge decided that the
verdict of eleven jurors would suffice
(when the law requires twelve) the out
cry would be great, yet his act would he
no more criminal than that of Richards.
Something had to be done" is the pre-
text for lawless acts the world over. 1t
was the plea of Louis Napoleon when he
overthrow the French republic. 1t was
the plea of Santa Anna when he founded
military rule in Mexico. Fortunately
such pretextss, are not tolerated in this
free country. In 1856, when party pas
sion ran high, the contest for speaker in
the house of representatives lasted two
months and 1872 ballots were taken before
N. P. Banks was elected. Has Montana
degenerated so much that Richards dare
defy and override the constitution and
make decisions to suit his own purposes?
Have we emerged from the territorial
system only to come under the yoke of
Richards? The public patience is being
strained to the utmost.

The copper industry which is to be one
OF the bases of Great Falls prosperity is
now on a firm foundation. The con
sumption of copper is increasing, notably
for electric wires, cables and appliances.
The metal is scarce; so much so, that the
late French syndicate was able to control
the entire supply. Butte and the Lake
Superior region are the chief producers.
Chilli comes next. The Butte and Lake
Superior mines are in the hands of strong
companies which were not shaken by the
downfall of the French syndicate. The
current price yields liberal profit to the
producers who are large exporters. 1t
follows from all this that copper smelling
at Great Falls will be a strong, steady
industry,

REAL ESTATE.

We advise people to buy real estate
in Great Falls because we consider
that it is a good investment.
Those who invested at the start
have all made money or are in po-
sition to make it if they cared to sell.
The market value of real estate has
steadily increased from the begin
ming. There has been no set back:
no panic, such as have occurred in
the most prosperous towns.
In 1887 the two railroads-the Mon
tana Central and Manitoba a-came and
impaired increased value and firm
ness to the real estate. In the same
year Cascade county was formed with
Great Falls as the county seat
In 1888, several fine blocks were
built, completed Or enlarged. The Mi
not, the Dunn, the Mcknight, the
Kingsbury, the Vaughn, and the
Murphy Maclay blocks date from
that building period in which
some Of the best business men in
Montana showed their confidence in
Great Falls by building massive
blocks Of brick or sandstone.
In the same year the iron wagon
bridge over the Missouri was opened.
The railroad bridge, which spans the
same noble river was completed. The
works Of the Montana Smelling com
pany were also put in operation.
In 1889 this progressive movement
continued. The neighboring coal
fields at Sand Coulee underwent rap
id development. The wool trade in
creased considerably. The railroad
to the Belt mountain mining regions
was nearly completed and the nego-
tiations for the establishment here of
the Boston and Montana copper
smelter were closed satisfactorily.
Considerable trading in real estate
followed. Higher prices than ever
~o.o Paid, The aale- z0t. tho Taun-
site company for the last quarter
amounted to about 100000. Some
Of these sales were made to early
settlers who had marked the progress
Of the city and who had firm faith in
its bright future. Great Falls will
continue to grow rapidly, and in con-
sequence the value of real estate will
enhance. Every house in the city
pays a liberal return on the cost.
Judged by the rental which may be
expected from buildings, real estate
in Great Falls is not dear. It is a
good investment for those who buy to
build, or for those who buy to sell
when prices are higher. The growth
of the city is based on good tributary
farming and stock country, on pro
ductive mining regions, on prosper
GUS railroads, on extensive smelters, on
large coal fields and almost unlimited
waterpower and growing trade.
All these combined with the CO.
operation Of capitalists and of her
own enterprising population render
the prospects of Great Falls bright
indeed.

POPULAR OBJECTIONS.

/. II am too old to go vest This re
mark is often made by men in the forties
and fifties in the east. They deem them
selves too old "to pull up stakes" The
best answer that can be made to such OBJ
lection is to point to the expeneoce Of
millions of people of middle age who
have attained prosperity in the west. The
founders of California Montana and the
Dakotas were largely men of mature
years. They laid the keel Of the ship of
state. The young men came and helped
to build her up. As a rule, the middle
aged man who is able to earn living in
the east will do still better in the broad
west where the opportunities are greater.
II. ~ can't take any risks This
is what many sta1wart men and
women too, say to themselves in the
east. They are earning from $40 to $40
week and have steady work. They dis
like change. They would come to Mon
tana if some one would guarantee them
good wages, but they fear discomforts
and dlsappointments. To such people we
would say the risks are exaggerated.
The farmer who begins by paying $50 to
$100 an acre for land in Indiana does
much better when he gets 160 acres for
nothing from Uncle Sam. The mechanic
who works for wages makes more prog
ress when he starts on his own account
and becomes his own master. The west
is full of people who saved money by
days work and are now wealthy.
Ill. "Ill wait until the country is more
settled" Many intelligent people in the
east suppose that rowdyism is rampant in
the west There is really less crime in
the west than in the crowded cities of the
east. Society is as orderly in Great Falls
as in the oldest New England towns.
Those who wait until the west is more

THE OUTRAGE.

LeiSheA oEo htAfo DCSOl1O p1lCll1U % Il
tool in the hands of the conspirators
as Jack and Hall. He is as ready to
override the law and the constitution
as B. +. White who pines for an op-
portunity to play the part of a Crom-
we'll and is not ashamed Of the des-
picable course that he has hitherto
pursued.
The section of the constitution
which Richards set aside is very clear;
it does not admit Of any double mean
ing. 1t says: "A majority of each
house shall constitute quorum to do
business, but smaller number may
adjourn from day to day, and compel
the attendance of absent members in
such manner and under such penal
ties as each house may perscribe"
Here it is plain the constitution pro-
vides that when the senate or house
meets and transacts business it shall
be really representative body and
not composed Of two, three or seven
members. The explicitness of the
section is increased by the provision
which gives either house authority
to compel the attendance of absent
members.
The republicans themselves admit
ted the strength Of the democratic
positition by adjourping from day to
day, from lack of quorum. They
made that the pretext for the pro-
ceedings, which they began against
the democratic senators, thereby ad-
mitting that they could not do ''busi-
ness" until the absentees returned.
Richards and his clique found them
selves baff1ed by the attitude of the
democratic senators, who, in order to
defeat contemplated fraud, resolved
to attend but refrain from voting. It
was this position which SO tried the
patience of Richards that he set aside
tire volr~Lit,ttion, avolari1r6 that sosen
senators could ''do business" and
that the minority was not even bound
to record the yeas and nays.
Senators Baker, Thornton and Par
berry opposed resolutely this out
rageous ruling, but Richards and his
seven persisted in going through the
farce of electing officers, who, it is
needless to say, are all republicans,
the senate is divided evenly
Richards conduct is revolutionary.
1t is an open defiance of all ordinary
rules Of fairness. 1t makes the SEN
ate nothing better than mob. It
proclaims that the conspirators have
become desperate and will stop at
to obtain control. It sets at
naught the principle, applicable to
all assemblies, enunciated by Speaker
Blaine, when he said in the house of
representatives in 1875:
"The moment you clothe your
speaker with power to go behind your
and assume that there is a
quorum in the hall, why, gentlemen
you stand on the very brink Of vol
cano. N !, gentlemen, that very prin-
ciple has been the foundation, prob
ably, for the greatest Legislative
frauds ever committed. The respon-
sibility is on tie majority party to
have quorum present."
Nothing could serve the democratic
cause better than Richards outrage
GUS conduct The plot must be weak
indeed, which had recourse to such
vile means. But the people have
rights which Richards cannot over
rule. 1t will not be we'll to try the
public patience too far.

itor OF the Sentinel to present the case to

ing the Enterprise for this Tlibslous attack
says it attempts to poison enc Of the

thus over stepped the bounds of prudence

school system passed the house. It's
champions swere Representatives Foster

house.
The bill went to- the council, was ably
argued, several amendments made and
passed.
The bill was returned to the house for
action on the amendments. 1t reached
the house on the Last sight Of the session.
II the house passed the amendments the
bill would become a law. If it failed TO
pass them the law was defeated.
That the amendments were not vicious
is shown by the fact that both Represen-
tves Foster and kistler were willing to
accept them.
