1T is shame that wounded veterans of
the war should be made the subject of
party capital by such humbugs as Ingalls,.
This senator has introduced bill provid-
ing that soldier who has lost both eyes
or one arm and one log, may get married
at any time he may so desire, to some one
to take care of him, and at his death the
soldiers widow should receive $12 a
month so long as she remains single. If a
soldiers wife refuses TO live with and care
for him, he may, after her absence for six
months, procure divorce from any county
court upon the payment of five dollars.
Any soldier who incurred the injuries
named should receive liberal pension
that would keep him in comfort all his
life. 1t should not be necessary for him
to buy wife by the promise that she will
receive $12 month after his death. The
divorce clause isa piece of nonsense,
which only Ingalls, could devise.

IN their interesting history of Monta.

In their interesting history Of Monta-
ma mining in the Montana Mining Re-
view, A. NJ. Williams and Col. Wheeler
say: Gas the miners were distant from
Benton, about 150 to $50 miles, p large
wagon transportation was dems nded and
sprang into existence. In 1865, John j.
Roe and Captain Mick Wall organized
the great "Diamond r" train, which they
sold out to Messrs. Carroll and STEEL and
Maclay and Broadwater in 1870. Then
Garrison and Wyatt, Baker and Broth
ers, Henry A. Shodde, W. :. Bullard, M.
H. Bird, Hugh Kirkendall and score
of small freighters covered the roads
leading from Benton with their wagons,
distributing to the miners the freights dis
charged from the steamboats, and for a
time, owing to the limited means of trans
portation, compared with its needs,
freighters commanded their own terms,
and some received as high as 10 cents a
pound, in gold, for the 140 miles from
Fort Benton to Helena" This sketch re-
calls names we'll known in Great Falls.

Col. CLouGH of the Great Northern
railway, who passed through the city yes
terday, en- route home, and who remarked
to our reporter that "some things are set
tied" on the Pacific coast, IS the Tally
rand of the northwestern railroad world
--one of the keenest and most successful
diplomats in this country of those who
devote their time and splendid talents to-
wards promoting the success of great
railroad enterprises. Men of COL Clough's s
rank are so scarce that they COM
mand any salary they ask, and beside them
even presidents and prime ministers pale
into insgnificance, measured by their
mental ability and practical business
worth. There are 10000 Harrisons and
100000 Hayes in the United States, but
mighty few Cloughs. When the extent
and importance of his negotiations on the
Pacific coast for the past month are
known, people interested will begin to
appreciate the fact.

BISMARCK RETIRESs

The resignation of Bismarck has pro-
duced profound sensation in Europe.
Since the death of Emperor William his
influence has been on the wane. He was
on bad terms with the Empress Freder-
ick, but he held his ground through the
short reign of her husband. Since Will
liam II came into power he has man.
ifested strong desire to be an emperor
in fact as we'll as in name. He disliked
that Bismarck should govern while he
only reigned. Recent disagreements re-
garding the labor conference and the
clerical party brought on the crisis which
has resulted in the resignation of the
chancellor
Bismarck may fairly boast that he &C.
complished the union Of Germany. His
iron will and mastery ability enabled him
to direct the public policy of Prussia. 1t
was at his instance that Prussia declared
war against Austria in 1866. l: was he
who compelled Austria to with
draw from the German con-
ACoeAd dIAcu. IL was uc WIN uulteu Tie
north Geeman states under the leader
ship of Prussia. Finally, it was he who
answered so resolutely the challenge of
Napoleon III and entered with a stout
heart on the war of 1s70-71, which re-
suited in the triumph of the German arms
and the establishment of the German en-
pire, which includes the southern as we'll
as the northern states. His power was
probably greatest when at the Berlin con-
gfess he acted as mediator, holding in
check England on the one hand and Rus
sa on the other. His influence at tina
critical time served to preserve the peace
OF Europe.
The resignation of Bismarck may have
grave consequences. 1t will at least
create q sense of insecurity throughout
Europe. The young emperor may at any
moment disturb the pacific relations
which now exist between Germany and
the other powers. He is mpulsive and
headstrong. He is swayed by the mill
'tary party, and seems impatient to use
the great power which he owes to Bis
. marck's craftsmanship.

THE hand may be that of the newspa-
per correspondent, but the voice is that OF
Sanders. We refer to the kilograms
which the Pioneer Press and other pa
pers are publishing about the senatorial
contest. The Independent should use such
kilograms with the proverbial grain of
salt. 1t is understood that the untrue
statement that Senator Turpie of Indiana
held there was no senatorial election here,
came from Sanders. From the same
source evidently comes the denial that
Senator Hoar showed his report at the
republican conference. We believe the
dispatch was truthful which said that
Hoar conferred with the republican sem
ators in order to adapt his his report to
their opinions and remove opposition to
the seating of Sanders. This was small
business for Bay state senator. Fraud,
fraud, marks every move in the senatorial
swindle.

THE Red Lodge Pickett says: "Col.
W. F. Sanders and Thomas G. Power have
been seated as senators in Montana. We
predicted this several months ago and the
seating of these men is no surprise to us"
Our esteemed contemporary, which is
playing the role of Diogenes, should
cheer up. Sanders and Power have not
been seated, nor are things going to the
dogs generally as one would suppose
from the way it is 'slosbing around"
hitting Sanders one day and Maginnis
the next. Brother billiard should take
up his democratic banner and fall into
line. Critics are over abundant just now.

1T is steep descent from Bismarck to
Caprlvi, who is military commander
without much reputation for ability at
home or abroad. Bismarck must now
feel as Wolsey did when King Henry
dismissed him IN disgrace. The German
people will, however, remember CRATE
fully the public services of the ex-chan.
cellor and regard leniently his arrogance
and conservatism. 1t cannot fail to ex-
cite comment that Bismark's harsh treat
ment of the Hanoverian ducal family has
reacted on himself, one Of the many rea-
sons given for his resignation being his
reluctance to settle the claims of the de-
posed family. All reasons for Bismarck's
retirement are accepted except the one
he actually gave-age and intirmity.

VICTORY ALONG THE LINE.

The New York World thus enumerates
the recent democratic victories at the
town and municipal elections in New
York:
Rochester elected democratic mayor
for the first time IN fourteen years. In
1888 the city gave Harrison a plurality of
2,627.
In Newburg the democrats made a
clean sweep. Harrisons majority over
Cleveland was 612, and for three years
the mayor has been republican.
Elmira, Gov. HIS home, elected the
entire democratic ticket, by about 800
majority.
Uleter county went democratic Rar

rlson's majority there was 33S,

rlson S majority there was o5o
The democrats carried Dutchess coun-
ty, which gave Harrison 1,016 over Cleve-
land.
In Oneida county the democrats made
large gains. Harrison carried the county
by 1868 over Cleveland.
Utica, the home of one of the muzzled
republican editors, now sub treasurer in
New York, elected democratic mayor
by 900 plurality, although the city went
for Harrison in 1888.
At oswego, Port Jervis, Kingston, Am
sterdam, Whitehall, Hornellsville, Buffa
10, Batavia and Dunklrk, all carried by
Harrison, the democrats were vlctori-
Gus.
The most significant results, however,
are the democratic victories in the once
republican stronghold, Iowa. The demo-
Gratis achieved success at Burlington, Ce-
dar Rapids, Clinton, Creston and Fort
Dodge. At Conesville the republicans
elected their mayor, but the democrats
carried the remainder of the ticket. The
mayoralty was in doubt at Des Moines
and Sioux City.

WE congratulate Governor Toole on
the announcement Of his engagement.
He has deviated from the home rule
principle, but we presume that in order
not to cause jealousy among the Montana
bellies, he has chosen his prospective
bride in Washington, where he was So
cial favorite. But it may be assumed that
his prospective bride will soon be one of
ourselves-that she will say, like Rebecca
of old, "Your people shall be my people"
She bears an honorable name, for General
Rosencrans is d brave officer, who at Cor

The tribune., 1890-03-22

OUR local contemporary says that "tax-
alton has nothing more to do with the
price Of corn and wheat than the Gulf
stream" Yet it has been the cardinal
doctrine of the republican party in late
years that the taxes imposed on foreign
imports create and maintain home mar
ket for grain, thereby enhancing the price
above what the farmer would receive for
his produce if he exported it. In affect
ing the cost of production, taxes likewise
affect the price of wheat. The Pioneer
Press recently delared that the burdens
imposed on our farmers are so great that
they cannot compete with foreign pro-
ducers, who are subject to less taxation.
As the result, the produce is thrown back
on the home market which becomes over
stocked and prices fall. We are also
told that it is Extremely funny to hear
the farmers scanty earnings put upon
and made the result of public extrava-
gance." Perhaps our contemporary will
explain how $3s7 100000 can be taken
from the people annually as taxes with
out reducing the peoples savings No
economist has yet been able to demon
strate that taxation is public blessing.
In France, Germany and England taxes
have increased the cost of living and
thereby proved burdensome to the people.
We are better able to bear taxation, but
every cent collected above the expenses
of the government, economically admin
istered, is oppressive and unjust.

this congress will not dissolve till it has

Our people do not expect "free and hon

THE gross earnings of the Great North
ern show an increase of $l78,047 for the
first two months of this year. The East

they did IN 1889. This is good begin
