WHAT OUR NBIGHBORS SAY.

Last Thursday we paid Great Falls a
flying visit, and were very much aston
ished as we'll as pleased at the volume
and character of the improvements which
had been made in that city within the
past eleven months. From a town then
of 1900 inhabitants it has grown to be a
thriving city Of 5000, with superb water
works, electric lights, motor and cleo
trio street railroad lines, grand hotels,
flrst-class daily newspapers-the TRIBUNE
and Leader-and is destined to become
an important railroad center, having
now four lines-the Great Northern
Montana Central, Neihart and Great
Falls and Canada-termlnating there.
The buildings now beng erected are
of the most substantial character, rs in
deed are all the other Improvements be-
ing made within her borders, and with
her natural surroundings and advantages
it will not be surprising If she outstrips
her western rivals and in a few years is
rated as the first city, not OF northern
Montana, but of the state of Montana.
We feel a great interest and pride in
the development and prosperity of Great
Falls. As she advances in the scale of
commercial importance so will the coun
try tributary advance in settlement and
wealth.. Great Falls Is the natural mar
ket for the products, present and pros
pective, of northern Montana, and as she
increases in magnitude SO of necessity
will our, country increase its facilities to
supply her market. The great valley of
Sun river is 30 miles IN length by Is
miles in width, and the greater part of it
is susceptible of a high state of cultlva-
ton. An incentive is all that is required
to develop this vast area of country, and
Great Falls will undoubtedly prove a
prominent factor in attaining that end
Rising Sun.

QUAY SELF CONVICTED.

Senator Quay at last accounts was in
the hands of his friends in a way which
suggested shame rather than defiance.
Congressman Kennedy's bitter attack was
made On Wednesday. Next day Quay
arrived in Washington and conferred a
long time with ingalls,! What a way to
answer the grossest charge that has ever
been made IN congress! Who a sup
pose an innocent man remaining a mo-
ment silent under such an attack. The
senate would readily have heard him be-
cause he is one of the 'bosses" who die
tate to senators of the Chandler. Edmunds
class what they shall do. But he chose
to remain silent although denounced
as a scoundrel who ought be in Jail for his
acts while state treasurer of Pennsylvania
when it is alleged he made use of the
state money to carry out a deal in which
he was engaged. He refunded the money
but the act was none the less base and
criminal. The republican party is carry
ing a heavy load with Quay on its shoul-
ders. He is a "boss' in and out of the
senate. While he continues 50, the re.
publican party cannot expect that the
poop" will approve its condnct in the
coming elections.

UNWARRANTED NEGLECT.

In another column is an interesting
letter from our special correspondent,
who is taking stour of inspection through
the mining camps. The treatment which
the Belt mountains mining camps has re-
ceived at the hands of the commissioners
of Meagher county is no credit to these
officers. Castle is a good mining camp
and has some wonderful mines. 1t is
equally true that Neihart and Barker
have some good mines. Yet while Castle
has been doomed through papers and re-
ceived thousands of dollars for the i'm
provement of their roads, Neihart, Bark
err, Wolf creek and the newer districts
have been left out in the cold. The topog-
raphy of the country is such that the
miners of these districts are compelled
to cross a range of mountains to transact
all their legal business. Without roads
this has inflicted untold hardships on
them. They should combine and petit
ton the Legislature to have the territory
annexed to Cascade county, which will
give their miners a hearty welcome.
The completion of the railroad to Mel
hart and Barker will concentrate the
business of these points at Great Falls
and 1t would be much more convenient
if the people could transact their legal
business here.

-ruu euEL7INg BUSINESS.

The magnitude which the sme7SSlg
business may attain at Great Falls may
be judged from the following details of a
great Colorado enterprise which we find
in the Nelson, B. G. Miner: "The Grant
Omaha people run 10 stacks in Denver
and 8 in Omaha. They own three other
plants, namely, A stacks at Salt Lake, 3
ct Glendale, Montana, and one at Clayton,
Idaho. Their Denver output for April
last was nearly 100000. Since start
ing eight years ago, the Denver works
have paid out $41, loco for ores and
shipped nearly S45, O0O,0O0 in bullion.
In June last they bought 100000 worth
of ores. 1t is not unusual for them to
have 100000 in ores on one floor,
awaiting their turn to be smelted. The
buildings are interlaced with railroad
tracks, and ore is piled up everywhere
1t takes 450 men to move the works and
they carry about 900 On the pay roll.
They pay out for fuel and labor and some
incidental supplies $4,000 a month.
The works reduce 400 tons of ore per
day, of which $50 tons have to be
roasted; 100 tons of limestone, and of
all materials inclusive of fuel nearly
700 tons a day pass through the
furnaces. A good part of the tail
ings and base ores from everywhere is
to the point of fusing, the pro-
duct retaining three to four per cent of
sulphur; As tons of matte are broken up
and re-roatsed per day. All roasting is
done in reverbratory furnaces. One per
cent of the ore is caught in the dust
chambers. The higher ores, %carbonates,
are made to carry about 10 per cent
the base ores. There is more money
in the roasting plant tlan in
the smelling plant. Fifty tons OF bullion
are run out per day, carrying at present
300 unces silver and five ounces gold
per ton

THE Y RECORD.

An "Old Miner" in the Rocky Noun
tain News plays havoc with the republic
can claims as friends of silver. He
backs up with ample facts the following
points:
l. The republicans demonetlzed sill,
yer in 1878.
II. The republican senate mutilated
the free coinage bill passed by the demo
cratic house in 1878.
III. President Hayes vetoed the bill.
Garfield in the house and Blaine in the
senate both denounced 1t.
w. Sherman, who was secretary of
the treasury, defeated the purpose Of the
bill by limiting coinage to 100000 pei
month.
V. President Arthur was bitterly op-
posed to silver.
vi. Republican congressman defeated
free coinage this session. They favored
bullion redemption but were defeated by
the opposition of all the democratic and
some western republicans.

toned, tainted with fraud, usurpation
and general political infamy.
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

Cascade has the high honor of being
one of tn counties that will elect SEN
ators this fall.
This implies grave responsibility as
we'll rs political distinction. The state
would lave been saved disgrace, shame
and positive loss had this county elected
Robert s. Ford as senator last year. The
roll would have then stood nine demo-
Gratis to seven republicans. The nine
senators would have organized the law
full house of representatives and perhaps
thwarted THE senatorial fraud. We say
perhaps, because we know not what base
schemes the conspirators might have
Matched, seeing that the republican ma
jority in the United States senate stood
ready to admit any republican, whether
he bore the brand of fraud or not.
These circumstances should make our
people act with the gravest deliberation.
They should nominate the strongest man
for candidate and insist firmly, but cour-
teously, that he accept the nomination.
| They should then begin a lively, spirited
campaign, in which every man should
feel bound to do his best to ensure a
sweeping victory.
In addition to rebuking the senatorial
fraud, the interests of Cascade county re-
quire that she shall be represented by a
| citizen who will command the respect of
| republicans as we'll as democrats-who
| will in the matter of public institutions
be able to secure Cascade county the
| share which is justly due her.

FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1890.
CAPTAIN COUCH DEFEATED,

The TRIBUNE deplores sincerely the
political downfall of its friend Captain
Couch, the distinguished leader of the
tribe OF "fe~atherheads" in Butte. As the
returns plainly prove the "back numbers
were too many for him. 1t was IA rout
horse, foot and dragon, more disastrous
than any political leader in Montana
has ever before experienced, and to
say we are surprised at the result
does not half express our feelings
on the subject. In the primary
contests the "featherheads'' $50 styled by
the Mantle Warren c%ombination) only
carried three out of a possible twenty
three precincts, the shack numbers" $50
called by Capt. Couch) carrying by over
whelming numbers all the others. This
is what We call defeat in its essential
character. 1t is the bo~iled-down, double
distilled article, and must have been a
bitter dose to the confident and always
genial captain.
Now we take it that Capt. Couch is as
popular today as he ever was. He is the
same honorable, energetic business mar
he was before the clans of "featherhead"
and shack number" met in combat at the
primaries, and the odorous reputation of
the Mantle Warren gang has not improv-
ed one iota. 1t is evident, therefore,
there must be some potent cause for the
change of sentiment in Butte, and what
it it?
To us it is clear that the captain has
gravely erred in the selection of his lieu.
tenants. Chief among these were Rick
ards, Bray and Dolman. Rickarde, the
presiding officer of the senate, who out
ragged parliamentary law and common
decency in his rulings; and Bray and
DolmaI, who usurped seats in the house
Of representatives and in their stolen
places voted for Little Tommy Power for
senator!
Butte republicans have no i'll feeling
towards Capt. Couch, but we can not
blame them for holding in utter con
tempt these leaders of his legions. They
are not worthy of the Endorsement of any
honest man. Hereafter if Capt. Couch
would redeem himself, politically, he
must, like Napoleon, exercise his best
judgment in selecting %lieutenants. They
must not be, like those We have men

THE National Reform party which has
been launched at st. Louis has only "a
planks in its platform. These include the
abolition of national banks, prohibition,
government control Of railroads, uniform
marriage laws, and a protest against alien
ownership of lands, tariff reform, regula-
ton of corporations, and restriction of
pauper immigration. Cranks are likely
to flock in large numbers to this party,
which has apparently something to suit
everyone. It is the grave, besetting fault
the world all at ence. The real reform
er will work in the ranks of the demo
cratic party, which, in Montana, has one
great purpose in view, the overthrow of
fraud. This includes condemnation of
all the vile means by which two so-called
senators secured admission into the
United States senate.

SUMMER CoMPLAINT.-A druggist at
Britt, Hancock county, Iowa, relates his
experience with this disease as follows:
During the summer of 1882, my little
girl, 2 years of age, was taken seriously
i'll with summer complaint, so common
to children of that age, and after being
treated by a physician and getting no
better, took from my shelves a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhna remedy. She felt relieved after the
first dose, and in three days was entirely
well.-ALEx. MOIR,

In Choteau county cattle are listed at
$l5 per head, horses 1875 and sheep 1926.
These figures are somewhat different
from those fixed in this county and it will
be the duty of the state board of equali-
cation to equalize these differences
among the counties and fix a uniform
rate on the same kind of property. With
sheep selling in the open market at less

his dislike of Blaine, he treated the pro-

on the Mckinley bill, which knocks le-

to kill or render worthless. He also
