Thu SENATORIAL CONTEST.

1t appears from the arguments before
the senate committee OF Saturday, in
Washington, that Sanders relies upon the
certificates issued by the state board of
canvassers. He asks the senate to regard
these certificates as proof that the men
who elected" him were entitled to do so.
Mr.. jerks, who spoke for Senators Ma
ginnis and Clark. took broader ground.
He upheld the validity of the full Silver
Bow returns and maintained that Jack
and Hall mad no right to throw out the
votes cast at Precinct "a. He went to the
fountain head of the controversy and dis
played readiness to make the inquiry
far-reaching and Notwithstanding
which Sanders does not want. MIR. jerks
also spoke of the importance which The
statutes impart to county certificates.
Sanders cry resembles that of Hayes in
1877: "Don't go behind the returns"
Maginnls and Clark say with Filden:
Make the inquiry thorough" 1t is a
hopeful sign that Senator Teller said the
question before the committee was not
who has of title or right, but to whom the
title or right really belongs. The senate
committee is composed of five Republi
cans and four democrats. The republic
cans are Hoar, Frye, Teller, Evarts and
5pooner. The democrats are Vance,
Pugh, Gray, and Turpie. Senator Hoar
is chairman. The republicans have now
a fair opportunity to display a sense of
fairness that would do the party more
good than the admission of two claimants
whose title can never be made rightful
or just. The republicans need not do
wrong to hold control of the senate.
They have an undisputed majority Of
eight, irrespective of Montana. The
democrats gave the republicans six of
that majority by passing the omnibus bill
which admitted the Dakotas and Washing
ton, as we'll as Montana. All of these
states, except Montana, elected republi-
cans senators and thus increased the re-
publican majority from a scanty two to
eight. Such liberality should meet with
recognition, especially when only fair
play is demanded.

THAT LAND OFFICE.

The Fergus County Argus has become
abusive because the TRIBUNE maintained
and still maintains that this city had the
prior claim to the first land office estab-
lished in northern Montana. We pre-
sented inc%ontrovertible facts in support
of that position-facts which the Argus
has not deemed it prudent to controvert.
We printed in our annual number for
this year a map which showed the coun-
try around Great Falls in circuits up $50
miles. That map in itself demonstrates
the superior fitness of Great Falls, for it
shows an area of tributary country, I'M
rivalled in extent, in railroad facilities, in
growth and general advautages-unrival-
led, we say, in such respects by the
country which surrounds either Benton
or Lewistown. If the land office were
located in the public interest it would
unquestionablv have been placed here,
where 1t would be accessible by we'll es'
tablished mail routes as well as by rail-
roads that traverse II large area and will
soon be widely extended.
We do not believe the people of Fer.
gus county are represented properly by
the halderdash which flows from the pen
of the Argus writer. sThe people in the
] Judith basin know that the growth of
this city has benefited them and will
benefit them still more. Our city will
provide them with a profitable market
for the products of their stock ranches
and farms. The railroad which is now
heading toward the Judith will increase
manifold the value of the lands and towns
OF Fergus county. 1t will enable settlers
to reach readily the fertile regions Of
the Judith basin and will stimulate
mining industries wherever there are
mineral deposits that will pay for devel-
opment. Under such influences the
progressive element in Fergus county
will come to the front, and hand in hand
with the men of enterprise here, will
make the influence of north Montana felt
throughout the entire state,

GREAT FALLS can point to substantial
proofs of her progress. Real estate trans
actions. such as those of last week, are
more important than even the large

show that solid men have confidence in
the growth of our city and make invest
ments here because they are convinced of
our stability. There are thousands Of such
men who will make like investments

THE ST. Paul Dispatch. from which v

THE st. Paul Dispatch, from which we
should expect liberal opinions, says:
"The spectacle which is presented in
Montana of senators elected to serve their
constituents running away from their
state, pursued by the officers of the law
and sojourning temporarily in an ada
cent state, is one of the most remarkable
in the annals of America Legislation. 1t
is incomprehensible how such surren-
der of official dignity could hope to re-
ceive public approval" In our opinion
the spectacle would be worse of eight SEN
ators passing laws by means of a Reed
quorum in presence of a senator held as
d prisoner. Such a spectacle would be
revolving to the sight of all who uphold
honest legislation. The democratic sen
ators have been ready from the first to
take part in legislative work, provided
they were not asked to act with a"house''
composed in part of persons who had NO
title to be Their.

REPUBLICAN friendship for the soldier

friendship with the soldiers of the union

closely contested battle. He was with
the First Minnesota in the memorable
charge at Gettysburg, where he and his
brave comrades rolled back the tide of

1t is fortunate for the republicans
themselves that Senator Becker left the
state. BY this time the whole state would
be in an uproar at the reckless legisla-
ton which the rumps and their senatorial
accomplices intended to carry out. A
sample of this was seen on the night
Senator Becker returned when the appro-
priation bills were rushed through with
out the least scrutiny. On Monday the
jobbery would have been resumed and
many Infamous measures placed on rec
ord with the expectation that Governor
Toole would veto no bills from the senate
and so.called house. inasmuch as one veto
would suffice to recognize the fraudulent
Legislature and give the color of legality
to all their acts, including, of course, the
'election' of United States senators.
A test case would then have been made
and ONE judge would have been found
ready to decide that the presence of Sen
a,or Becker sutiiced to form II quorum,
although he refused 10 vote with the
other eight senators, The pleas put for
ward by Richards at Helena and by Reed
at Washington show that plausible rea-
sons would be put forward for violating
the constitution. which requires that only
a majority can 'do business" Senator
Becker and his seven colleagues deserve
credit for thwarting the plot, which for
years to come might have burdened the
statute books with claws hat mad no
warrant except party exigency and par
tisan malice.

PRECINCT NO. 81.

The sherif's contest in Silver Bow
county has brought out the facts in re,
gard to Precinct "a The attorney for
Lloyd endeavored to prove fraud at tina,
precinct, but utterly failed, showing tina,
the members of the rump house at Hell
ena md the republican managers had the
best of reasons for refusing to go into an
investigation Of the election at that place.
In commenting on the results of the in.
quiry into this matter in the district cour
at Butte, the Anaconda Standard sum
marizes the facts as follows:
"About election time there were 500
men at work on railroad construction near
the famous precinct. Of these, 1856 were
found entitled to registry. 1t appears
that 1873 of the number voted. The testi-
mony' lately taken upsets no claim that
has ever been made regarding the cor
rectness of the count-rather it fully sus-
tains that count. The persistent declara-
ton that newspapers were pasted over
the windows in order to shield the count
from public gaze, proves to be utterly
%groundless. Nothing of the sort was
ever done. 1t has been demonstrated
that Int deputy sheriff, regarding whose
exclusion so much has been said, was Of
fensively drunk"
"As to the clerical irregularities, due to
the fact that the men detailed for that
service lacked clerical ability, all this
was fully admitted and the facts siven &c
the public before the fight over the pre-.
cinct was a week old, and the statement
of this feature Of the case, as her given
finds complete confirmation in the test
mony taken last week.
