DELEGATE CARTER has returned from
Washington to demonstrate anew that
evil communications corrupt good man

Displayed by the office-seekers has per-

experienced deputy who went to wash

rake in the jack pot governorship.
But we digress. In the Helena Herald
Mr.. Carter is made to say:
Tn fact it seems to be the general opin-
ion that the democratic national commit

poing to make Montana the political bat
lie ground of the fall campaign. They
are going to concentrate energies, orators
and everything else to get two democratic
senators and democratic congressman
from the state of Montana.
Now we know positively that the dem
ocrats of Montana will conduct the cam
paign themselves and they are well able
| to do it. They will welcome cordially
Mr.. Cox and every other champion OF
statehood, but the national democratic
committee has not been asked to run the
campaign nor has it manifested any de-
sire to do so. "M.
Mr.. Carter now assumes the role of ex-

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
GATuRDAY. APRIL 27, 1889,
Sc MI-W EEKLY
THE GREAT FALLS ROUTE.

1t will be seen by the Seattle dispatch
which we print today that tho Seattle.
Lake Shore s. Eastern railroad is to be
built speedily. This important railroad
is to be q rival of the Northern Pacific,
which has made Tacoma its terminus
and would build up that town at the ex
pense of Seattle and all other ports on
the Sound. The Seattle road will run
north of the Northern Pacific and will
meet the road which the enterprising cit
liens of Spokane Falls are building west
ward to meet it in order that they, too,
may have competing road.
Another railroad has been projected
from Spokane Falls to the Ceur d'Alene
region and thence to Montana, where it
will meet the Manitoba and thus form
with it and the other railroad from
Duluth to Seattle. The St Paul connec-
tions of the Manitoba system will like
wise give the new road communication
with the Atlantic seaboard by way of
Chicago.
The natural Montana terminus for the
Seattle and Spokane Falls trunk line
will be Great Falls. Here the mills and
factories which will spring up along the
falls of the Missouri will provide traffic
for the new road. The smelter, already
in operation, will reduce ores brought
from the Cnur d'Alene region, which
is already agitating for better
railroad facilities and lower freights
Seattle will send us products of China
and Japan as well as those of the Sound
and of the fertile country which is tribu-
tary to that arm of the Pacific. The sur.
plus of such products can be forwarded
readily from here to Duluth whene it may
be sent by water or rail to the great mar
kets of the east. There is, as Genera
Anderson asserts, ample business for an
other trunk road that will traverse tn,
country between the Northern and tn
Canadian lines.

WHILE politics will naturally cut fig
ure in the forthcoming election for men,
bers of the constitutional convention, fit
ness for the position rather than party
considerations should be the real test
Cascade country should have the strong
est possible delegation in the convention
as matters especially affecting the well
fare OF this city and section are likely to
be considered and acted upon.

Another bright featurer is the news
that the appraisers who met recently in
New York agreed to value worsted cloth
at wooden goods rates. This is in &C
cordance with the decision of the Phil
adelphia appraiser and may check impor-
tations and undervaluations.

THE WOOL TRADE.

The Boston quotations for wool show
noteworthy decline from the beginning
of the year, but it it must be noted that
the stock on hand of some grades is little
better than nominal. This is especially
the case with Montana wool, which was
cleared out some months ago. 1t is
still COMPOUNDED in price lists with terri
torial woods, but it is very much unlike
the product Of Idaho and Wyoming,
which the Boston trade groups with the
superior wool of the north Montana
ranges. The time has come when this
classification should cease in the interest
of both BUYERS and sellers. In quality,
production and other characteristics,
Montana wool is entitled to distinct
grading and should be quoted as Mon
tana WOOL" just as the circulars speak OF
"Michigan," "Fine Ohio" and "Ohio and
Penn. XX." 1t is hard to change trade
usuages, but when they are so palpably
misleading as this there ought to be no
demur The word "territoriaE will

Montana is concerned. When we have
attained here the full dignity of state
hood it will he manifestly unjust to class
ifv one of our leading products as terri
torial.'
While prices are comparatively low at
Boston, the quotations are firm both IN
Texas and Southern California, where
shearing is under full Roadway. 1nthese
places the wool-growers and dealers are
asking prices higher than eastern dealers
are disposed to pay.
The firm tone of the market is stimu-
lated by the London advices which show
active competition for Australian and
Cane merinos These auction sales were
resumed on Wednesday and are likely to
continue brisk.
In Philadelphia, most of the wool is
held by few houses which are inclinec
to hold it, expecting that the countr.
markets will be high and that consequent

THE sales of domestic wool at Boston
from January list to April 18th were 3d.
100000 pounds. This is 10O5,9 pounds
less than the sales In like period last
year. The imports of foreign wool have
been larger than a year ago. From Jan
uary LIST to April 10th the receipts of for
eign wool We're 64,672 against 46, 1888 bales
for the corresponding period of 1888.
The reduced sales are owing mainly to
the scarcity OF wool and not to dull trade.

MR.. HERsHFIsLD says he was not a
candidate for governor, as his application
was not filed, and in that particular he
claims "a horse" on Col. McCutcheon.
The latter filed an application for the po-
sition and when he found his own case
hopeless recommended DR.. Cole and Gen.
Wilson. Now we would like to hear
Col. McCutcheon's version of the matter.

THERE Is NO CHANCE.

Since man was quickened int active life,
since time began Its smooth and eeaseless voyage
The nature OF the human family
las ever been the same. The rascal's trick,
The politicians bland and polished lie,
The traders greed. the lovers jealousy.
The rich mans lust. the pauper's dark despair
Have ever been the same. The world is old
When, with veneraton's reverent eye,
We note the wrinkles on It's care worn brow,
But contem plate the weakness OF It's mouth,
The feature where all frailty leaves mark

Strength hAlts long. but weakness ever moves.
Virtue stops. IL seems. to rest awhile.
But vigorous vice doth feel no weariness.

GODS NEIoHBORHOoD.
"Pap, man hollered hello.n

An old fellow arose from g humped-over posi-
ton in front of the fire, stood in the door of his
cabin and, after gazing for a few moments
exclaimed:

the cabin. "Come right in" said the landlord

Tom Ncholl, the artist for the Kellogg Newspa-

On one occasion he had made large crayon picture

piece of work and for some two weeks hung in q
public show window where 1t attracted much
