GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY n. 1889.
.SEMI.WEEKLY
WELCOME TO OUR CITY.

We speak the sentiments of the people
of Great Falls when we say to the legisla-
ture of Montana: "You are heartily well
come to our young progressive city. We
welcome you regardless of party lines or
locality. We see in you only the repre-
sentatives of the people and as such we
extend to you the right hand Of fellow
ship" ".....
We are convinced that the Legislative
visit which Great Falls owes to the wise
foresight will be of service not only to
this city but to all Montana. 1t will
make known to our legislators the vast
extent of Northern Montana and the
greatness of its resources in coal, in the
precious metals, in water power, in
arabic lands, in broad rivers and fertile
valleys. Our visitors will see with their
own eyes the generous endowment which
we possess and will return to their labors
with that broad knowledge of the Catar'
act city and it's surroundings which only
actual observation can impart. Nw"
We trust that this legislative visit will
be followed by closer relations between al
portions of the coming state of Montana
Wrought to know more Of each other
Beaverhead and Cascade, Missoula anc
Custer are wide apart but in the new ere
of statehood and intercomunication thu
people OF each ought and. will become
closely acquainted

HON. JAMES E. CALLAwAY makes
timely defense of the constitution Of 1854.
In calm, temperate letter to Colonel
Sanders, he answers his objections to that
constitution and says: "Five years ago
our constitutional convention had met
and adjourned, and, after % days Of in
dustrious labors and patriotic devotion to
duty, submitted the constitution to the
people Of Montana for approval or rejec-
ton l think that you will agree with
me, that in all the past history of Montana
there never has sat, and probably never
will convene again, an ADLER, more self
sacrificing, or more patriotic body OF
men. They had but one object in view
to frame constitution that would be the
pride and glory Of the people of the State
Of Montana and therein and thereby 'es-
tablish Justice, insure domestic tranquil
ity, provide for the common defense, pro
mote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings Of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity.' | believe that constitution is
abreast with the times. 1t is modelled
after the best of modern constitutions of
several states, and really occupies an ad-
vanced position and embraces the concen-
trated wisdom of century's experience
of notwithstanding in the United
States. The foundation Was laid deep
and strong, and the superstructure is OF
good material. True, the temple has
never been occupied, and by reason OF
the mere lapse of memorable time it may
need some slight repairs; Or possibly as
we have grown larger some addition may
be needed, but l will not consent to raze
the entire building and tear out the foun
dation stones to erect another of doubtful
material and uncertain dimensions" This
statement appears to accord with public
opinion at present. The constitution re
ferred to has the merit of clearness ant
simplicity. Most of Its provisions hav'
stood the test of time in other states
They met with general approval in 1884
when they were submitted to the people
Why should we discard them now?

OUR WOOL INTERESTS.

In Boston the wool brokers report the
markets as dull, but they do not deny that
prices may be very high during the COM
ing season. The only dark spot in the
cloud is that importations oil worsted
cloths, yarns and wastes pour i'll from
England, taking the place OF wool and
woolens that ought to be produced at
home, 1t remains to be seen it Secretary
Window will insist on stricter interpre-
tation of the law than Secretary Fairchlld.
The likelihood Of any relief from con-
gress in the shape of new tariff Dill is
slight, indeed. The only gain that the
wool interests can expect from the tariff
agitation is an interval of rest until De-
cember next, when doubtless an effort
will be made to pass the senate tariff DILL
with some notifications. In its present
shape that bill would ensure ample pro-
lection for wool and woolens. The dem
ocratic members are not likely to oppose
that protection, because the benefits de-
rived from IT are widespread and the
American people, regardless Of party, de-
sire that each branch of the wool industry
shall be shielded during this critical per
iod from .uinous competition.
Being thus secure from tariff disturb
ance, the wool industry ought to thrive
rapidly. The profits from wool growing
arc large and must continue so. In 1887
according to the auditors report, Mon
tana had 1902, al sheep. This showedin II
wears an increase Of 1,340 per cent. II
cattle the increase for the same time wa
25S per cent. The increase in sheep wa
accompanied by good prices for WOO
which, despite the high freight rate
.suntil the railroad came" yielded libera
profits.

CORRESPONDENTS who send kilograms
from Montana to the eastern press should
be careful as to facts. Here is the Min
neapolis Journal, a paper of high stand
ing and large circulation, with dispatch
dated Missoula, Feb. 20, headed "Bloody
Flatheads--An Uprising and Several
Murders in Montana" This is followed
by statement that 'the Flathead Indians
are arming and settlers are in danger. 1t
is now the 23d and no confirmation Of
this news has arrived. People in the
east are liable to connect all Montana
with such reports, although Northern
Montana was never more tranquil. We
will venture to say that Major Roman will
maintain order among the Flatheads and
that no uprising will take place while he
is in control.

MINING INTERESTS.

Statehood will bring good fortune to
the mining interests Of Montana, as well
as to every other industry. 1t will abol-
ish Mt stroke the alien act, which has
done so much to repel foreign capital and
thus retard the development of our mines.
That law applies expressly to the "terrl-
tories" of the United States and fortu-
nately after October next Montana VIII
be Il territory no longer.
Admission will also serve mining inter
ests by stimulating the investments OF
both home and foreign capital, although
mining property is now as safe in Mon
tana as it ever can be, many American
capitalists are reluctant to invest money
in any territory Abroad the reluctance
is still greater, for people do not readily
master the distinction between state and
territory and explanations generally leave
false impressions against the latter.
In many other ways home rule will
benefit the mining industry. 1t will re-
lease us from the trammels which con
gress has placed on territorial Legislation
1t Will give us as spokesman in Washing
tor two senators nnd one representative
who will be in position to defend silver
and lead interests from attack from eltllel
democratic or republican assailants. L
will enable Montana to defend with al
the energy which state governments i'm
parts those mineral lands for which WI
hold the best of all titles-the bounty o
the Almighty.

Cooke of Ontario is about to talk plain
ly on Irish home rule in the Canadian
parliament. His resolutions will state
that the coercive policy in Ireland affects
injuriously the interest of Canada and re-
tards the settlement of the questions
which are in dispute between England
and the United States. Mr.. Cock very
plainly sees that coercion has failed this
time as it has failed for over 700 years.
