TIN TRADE IN MEA7.

The decision of the United States SUI
preme court on the Minnesota inspection
law nullifies all such legislation in that
and other states. The bill was fought
stubbornly in Minnesota ut the outset.
The Chicago meat packers opposed it nc
lively, but it had the support of the farm
ers, butchers and stockyard companies
and accordingly became a law. 1t was
passed %ostensibly in the interest of the
public health. but the law was really in
tended to check the power of the Chicago
''uis four" and encourage the home meat
trade. The clause which required that
all fresh meat, exposed for sale, should
have been inspected N huoi "a hours be-
fore, sutficed to exclude dressed beef
from Chicago and secured the market
for the local butchers.
The purpose OF this enactment was,
however, evaded by hotels and other
large consumers who were free to pro-
cure from Chicago all tie meat they
needed for their WI USE.
The supreme court regards the inspec,
ton scheme ~ n subterluge. 1t asserts
the broad principle that congress alone
has the right to regulate ommerce among
the states. 1t does not declare inspec-
ton laws invalid. but it plainly asserts
that such laws must not interfere with
tree trade among the states. If Mime
sofa can send her wheat and flour with
out intolerance to Illinois, she must not
exclude Illinois beef by any legal dodge.
This decision concernsMontana closely.
1t opens all markets to any beef or NUT
ton that may be slaughtered here. Mel
tier St. Paul nor Philadelphia Can deny
us access to their markets by means of
inspection laws Or other vexatious regu-
lations. When the time comes that
Montana will slaughter cattle for sale
abroad as we'll as home consumption, no
state, near or far, will be able to prevent
our meat packers from supplying either
the consumer or dealer on the same terms
as the home butchers.
The immediate effect of the decision
ought to be beneficial. In extending the
market for Chicago meat, the court en-
sures greater demand for Montana steers.
The 'bip four" may profit by it as well
as Montana, but their gains are of small
account compared with the enforcement
of a principle which is the sheet anchor
of the Union.

OUR TELEGRAPHIC SERTICE.

The ample Geographic news which we
gave yesterday was eagerly read and duly
appreciated. Our columns contained,
as they contain today, dispatches
from all over the world-from London
and Paris as we'll as from Russia and
Australia. Our own country of course
was accorded precedence. The days do
ings were we'll recorded in news from
north and south as we'll as east and west.
Copious market reports gave the latest
fluctuations in wheat and corn as we'll as
in the rates of interest and exchange.
The merchant who had wheat, corn or
flour on hand knew whether it vas worth
more or less in the worlds markets.
Nor were the interests of sport overlook
ed. Our returns from the base ball field
told all about shifts" and errors with
some useful details relative to the batter.
les and the umpires. As the racing sea-
son developes we shall have like details
of the meetings, showing what horses are
carrying off the great prizes of the turf.
The Associated Press which sends this
hews is noted for its trustworthiness and
accuracy. II a collision occurs in or
nrar the $500" if Il great fire takes place
m Texas or congress passes a silver bill
lie news will undoubtedly be found IN
these press dispatches. 1t is this success
ia covering the whole ground that has
given the Associated Press the leadership.
Newspapers such as the Mail have been
started IN New York, upheld by ample
capital and ability, but they have always
remained in the background until by
purchase or consolidation they acquired
the Associated Press franchise, whose
value in New York is estimated at from
S35O,oOO to 100000.
The accuracy which marks the Associ-
ted Press dispatches greatly enhances
their value. The we'll trained cores
pondents and agents of the Associated
Press report the markets carefully and
impartially. They summarize congress
ional proceedings fairly and allow the
reader to draw his own conclusions.
They record without sectional bias note
worthy incidents In the progress of north
and south. They give public documents
the importance which they merit, and
while they keep clear of party strife they
report with rigid impartiality the pro-
ceedings of state and national conven,
tions.
Because of this neutral position, presi-
dents such as Andrew johnson and
Chester A. Arthur have gladly availed
themselves of the Associated Press when
they wished to speak to the entire people.
In news, as in all other progressive
elements, our city cannot afford to stand
still. She must have the best. Our fell
low-citizens who have come from the
great cities feel lost when they have not
the full news of the day. Old-timers are
as impatient as any for telegraphic It'd
ings. The world has outgrown the old
methods of communication and will never
to them. This busy age has I'M
proved the telegraph and would make it
still quicker and more general.

SOME o REASONS.

j. X. Clark & Co. Of this city had Il
page advertisement in last Sundays In.
dependent in which they give the follow.
ing reasons in support of their statement
that Great Falls real estate will advance
rapidly in value the ensuing year. They
are worthy of consideration:
Because the city will more than double
in population this year.
Because it will become at once the
railroad center of the state. Great Falls
is o the terminus of the Great North
ern and Montana Central railroads, and
beyond question will soon have u branch
from the Northern Pacific. 1t has also
Great Northern branches to Sand Coulee,
the great coal camp; to Barker and Mel
hart, the rich silver-lead camps. and to
the great Boston 4 Montana and Montana
Smelling company smelters. The Great
Falls " CANDIDA railroad, which will af-
ford connection with the Canadian north
west and lay tributary to Great Falls one
of the richest sections of Montana, will
he finished In September, Last, and best,
the Great Northern will start westward
to the coast from Great Falls.
Because these allied lines will require
and have at Great Falls the most extern
sive machine shops in the northwest.
shops that will give employment to hun
dreds of men.
Because the great dam at the Black
Eagle falls, now well under way, and to
be completed this season, will afford the
greatest developed water power in the
United States, rendering it absolutely
certain that here will be the smelling, re-
filming and general manufacturing center
of the state.
Because the best coal in Montana, in
i~neXhaustible supply. lies at her door.
These mines employ 500 men, and within
a year twice that number will be needed.
Because the mines of the Belt noun
tains-the Barker, Neila art, Yogo, Wolf
creek end Carbonate districts-will be
made directly tributary to Great Falls by
the railroad that will be completed In a
few weeks.
Because the Boston u Montana smelt-
er, in construction and operation, and the
Montana Smelling company's silver-lead
smelter, running at full blast, will give
employment to hundreds of men. Next
to Butte, Great Falls will have this year,
and after that Butte must look to her lau-
rels, the largest 'tin-bucket brigade"
in M%ontana-the backbone and nerve and
fibre and sinew of any city.
Because the Anaconda refinery will be
located at Great Falls.
Because the splendid mineral, agricul-
tural and stock of Northern
Montana, made tributary to Great Falls
by the steel highways radiating in every
direction from this city, are being rapidly
developed.
These are a few of many reasons that
might be offered. 1t is simply a skeleton
that might furnish ground work for a
fairy tale of future growth and develop
ment. He who runs may read and ne
who invests is sure to profit. A year ago
we were told by the skeptical and the
oracle that property is too high In Great
Falls" Yet property bought;nine months
ago has doubled in value. There are
those who have n like opinion about
present prices, but Il twelve-month will
see some property here selling for twice
its present value. Mark the prediction.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. MAY "a, 1880.
THE PROGRESS OF FRAUD.

In deciding against Sheriff Sullivan
Chief Justice Blake has done as was ex
rected. 1t is one of the penalties of his
position that he must continue to bolster
up the fraudulent acts which he and his
associates approved. To be consistent he
must Gust Sheriff Sullivan as he "elimi,
mated" the Silver Bow returns in order to
select" Bray and four others who were
in turn to 'elect" W. F. Sanders United
States senator. When that nefarious
act was accomplished Blake probably
supposed that his task was done. But
the way of the transgressor is as hard now
as it ever was. The fraud will not down.
So long as he remains on the bench or in
public life so long will Blake be com
PEELED to bear the odlum which he in
CURED when he and the other "thugs"
deliberately perverted the Silver Bow re-
turns and entailed on the state the evils
which have resulted from the Legislative
conflict.
The case which Blake has decided
against Sheriff Sullivan was tried before
Judge Mediation. Witnesses were ex-
amined; records were produced. His
opponent Lloyd did all that was possible
to make good his own claims but Judge
Mediation decided against him in q lucid
judgment, wherein lie showed that Lloyd
had failed to impair the validity of the
vote cast at Precinct 81.
The decision turned on questions of
fact. Judge Mediation decided severally
on these issues and the people, republi-
cans us well as democrats, acknowledged
the fairness of his conclusions.
Blake's sophistry cannot overturn the
rectitude of that decision. His argument
will not convince the people of Montana
that Jack and his companions We're justi-
fled in rejecting the votes cast at Pre-
cinct "a. The circumstances connected
with these votes are too clearly impressed
on the public mind for Blake to misrep.
resent them with any success.
Judge Hamilton thought so when, to
his credit, he retired from a false posi-
ton and allowed Governor Toole to ap-
point MIR. Mediation to the judgeship to
which he was SO fairly elected. Lloyd
should follow Hamilton's example. lie
should disdain to hold an office obtained
by fraud. lie should accept the popular
verdict at the city election as decisive
against his false claims.
The circumstances recall the presi-
dental fraud of 1877. 1t was supposed
for the sake If consistency that Hayes
would be forced to uphold the republican
claimant to the Louisiana ~governorship.
But as soon as Hayes was safely installed
as president he abandoned the republican
governor and allowed the democratic
candidate to enter on the duties of that
position. OF course the scandal WAS
great. Hayes stood self-convicted of
fraud, but, unlike Blake, he had the
manilness to stop when he had gained
the chief purpose of the conspiracy.

THE republican majority in congress
was expected by its supporters to do
some good work on pensions, tariff re-
vision and silver. 1t enacted gag laws
so that the wicked democrats should not
interfere with its schemes. After nearly
seven months deliberation, congress has
really done nothing. The republicans
are so divided among themselves that
they are unable to accomplish anything.
"They are fighting like devils for concil-
%iation," but in the meantime the country
suffers.

In meeting the Great Northern rates
from the seaboard to Superior and St

short route is master of the situation,
Formerly the st. Paul Il Duluth railroad

the northwest, Montana included, the
beneft of the shorter haul from the lake
port. Now the situation is reversed. The
Chicago lines are compelled to haul goods

same rate as the Great Northern hauls
them from Superior to st. Paul, $50 miles.

The Amherst correspondent to the
Stevens Point Journal speaks of what
might have proved quite damage to
the Jackson Milling Co., of that city, as
follows: ''The Jackson Milling Com
pany came near losing their dam here
Sunday morning. When Mr.. Timian
came down the water was pouring over
the top at great rate. Prompt action
alone saved it. 1t does not seem
possible that the rain could have raised
the river that high.
BY an oversight we failed to mention
the death of Mrs. Jean Fransvis
Charles, of Port Edwards on the 18th
Of December 1889. in the seth year of
her age. She was born in Canada and
came to Wood County a years ago.
Nine months after her arrival here she
was married to her present husband
who is left with two daughters TO mourn
her sad departure. She was buried in
the Catholic cemetery IN this city Rev.
Beyerle officiating. Her husband and
brothers desire to extend their thanks
to all those who kindly assisted in lay
ing her awav in her last resting place.
Why so many of the Democrats want
to dictate where the postofiice should
be located is query to-McGInty-
The republicans never had anything to
say as to who should be postmaster or
where he should hold his office.
Gentlemen it looks in bad taste. If the
republicans don't give satisfaction turn
them out at the next election and run
it to suit yourselves, but while they are
in let them have their way.

THE MIKADO.

The Stevens Point Home Opera Com
pany presented the comic opera
Mikado-at the opera rink in this city
Monday evening January 9th, to a
large audience. That it was ably and
nicely rendered no one who witnessed
it would question. The company con-
sisted of Al performers and they were
all suitably and beautifully dressed.
They showed perfectness in drill and
unity in chorus singing. The singing
taken together was frst-class, some of
them being artists in their line. Mr.. f.
W. Cooley was the only person known
to the writer and his manner and song
has lost nothing in the lapse of several
years. He appeared perfectly natural
in the Glowing acts" in which he took
his part well. Mr. A. l.. Baker, Ko-
ko-a noble lord, whom we were
informed drilled the company to such
perfection, was perfectly at home in his
part and was often called back during
the evenings entertainment. Several
puns were thrown in here and there to
the delight of the audience and the
Observation-Disclosures wholly over
looked, perhaps he had been worn
thread bare in Stevens Point so they

company were well pleased with their
reception and patronage and went
