SANDERS COURT.

The decision of the supreme court will
not give Sanders a clear title nor strength
en- his claim in the opinion of honest
men.
That decision aifirms that the state can
wasting board had authority to issue GER
~tificates to representatives as we'll as to
other state officers.
This so-called right might be conceded
by the democrats without weakening
their %impregnable case. The house-the
regular house-has met and organized.
1t is the sole jude Of the qualifications of
Its own members. 1t admitted the five
democratic members from Silver Bow. 1t
cannot and will not reverse its action to
adapt itself to the rulings of a partisan
court, which has no jurisdiction over it.
We clntend and will always contend
that no n can acquire a clear title to
office who has not received a majority of
the votes cast at an election. We hold that
a title based OF such majority is sound
and unimpeachable. It cannot be set
aside by the president, the supreme court
of the United States or any known au-
thority. That title is so essentially just
and honest that no power can rightfully
nullify 1t. 1t derives Its validity from the
constitution and from that "higher law"
based upon mans inherent sense of JUS
tice and right. No certificate can law
fully destroy Its force, for the people
have wisely placed the sacred right to
elect representatives and state officers by
a majority, above the jurisdiction of can
wasting boards and supreme courts.
The simple facts must be borne in
mind that on the 1st of October an cleo
ton was held in Silver Bow county; that
the five democratic representatives re-
ceived a majority of the votes cast thereat
and were duly elected. Two members of
the county %canvassing board-Jack and
Ha%ll--unjustly rejected the votes cast at
Precinct "a, thereby %depriving the five
members Of their lawful majority, but in
a test case the votes were declared valid
by Judge DeWolfe and in obedience to
his orders the canvassers did recount the
votes and include those of Precinct "a.
The board of state canvassers composed
of Blake, White and Walker subsequent
ly "canvassed" the votes from Silver
Bow. They had the full returns from
that county before them, but in order to
rob the democratic representatives of
their rights, they '~'eliminated," that is,
stole from the Silver Bow returns the
votes cast at Precinct "a and issued GER
t~iticates to five republican representatives
who did not receive a majority OF the
votes lawfully cast at that election.
In the face of such facts all the certifi-
Gates that Sanders can obtain from par
tisan courts will not deceive the people
nor wash the brand of fraud from his
forehead.
In common with democrats, most re-
publicans revere the courts, but they
gloried in defying and multiplying the
fugitive slave law, although it received
the sanction of the highest courts. Such
republicans will understand why demo-
Gratis despise all the false certificates
which Sanders obtains from his plant
tools.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1. 1890.
SEMI-WEEKLY
SERVING TWO MASTERS.

The Rolfe says u criticism of Mr..
Thompson's management of the schools
was bad. This statement contains a false
hood. which is the worse by bringing in
the name of one who cannot answer. On
January Eth, s. o. Warden, the editor of
the Rolfe, went east. Next morning Mr..
Thompson announced that he had taken
charge of the paper. On this same date
it is remembered that school was dis
missed on account of a break in one of
the pipes of the boiler. At various times
since January 7 the pedagogue editor has
referred to his inexperence as an apology
for the scarcity of news items. To draw
on public sympathy, Mr.. Thompson cites
the death of Mr.. Lollis as the cause of his
(Thompson's) taking charge of the Rulfe,
when, according to his own statements,
he had been managing the paper for 10
days before that sad occurrence.
1t Is hard to understand why the
"Prof." should be called on to do this
work. Suppose the manager of any of
our business houses were to 60 east or die,
would Thompson feel called IN to go in
and run the business? Does he wish to
usurp the office of public administrator?
Any sane person knows that a thorough
conscientious teacher who does his duty
has no time for outside work, and very
little time for recreation. The prof"
may be a wonderful man, but we don't
believe he can properly conduct the
schools and edit a paper, and his resigna-
ton for one of the positions would be
thankfully awaited by a large number of
dissatisfied patrons.
The TRIBUNE is in favor of free public
schools, but it wants to see them managed
by men who have the interests of the
children at heart. 1t does not believe in
making the positions in the:public schools
merely sinecures for %favorites and rela-
tives. We should have as our teachers
men and women who are independent,
who are not afraid to call their souls their
own, who are competent and experienced,
if possible, but If we canno get exper-
fenced teachers let us have a man who
will devote his time to that service for
which he is paid.

FROM all over the state come conpli-
mentary notices of the TRIBUNE ANNUAL.
The Montana press takes common pride
in this publication, which was written at
home and printed at home. The infor-
nation the ANNUAL gives is likewise
creditable to the state, for it tells Of a
general advance all along the line in Cas-
cade county. We reprint from the Red
Lodge Picket this friendly notice: "The
annual number of the Great Falls TRIB-
UNE, ten thousand strong, is a marvel OF
typographical n~eatness and in western
parlance is a four-time winner. ltstwen-
ty pages are interspersed with literary
nuggets giving a pen picture of the great
town of Great Falls and the diversified
u of Cascade county. The pretty
illustrations of their different business
houses loom up like the smile of a Ches-
shire cat on a moonlight night in the
springtlme. Jerry Collins must have let
his Irish soul flow into this edition, be-
cause the TRIBUNE ANNUAL eclipses
every holiday edition of the season."

A MINNEAPOLIS SENSATION,

Minneapolis has always some great sem
sation. 1t is o all tore up about the
death bed confession of a Judge Hollis,
who admitted that he and q prominent
physician, who has since left town, were
engaged in a regular system of NAL
practice. The judge shielded the doctor,
who in turn divided his devilish gains
with him.
The story is thus told by the Times:
One day last fall the judge was taken
suddenly ill, and while suffering from
pain and delirium the terrible secret es-
capped him. 1t fell upon the ears Of those
around his bedside like a thuuderbolt,a and
at first they regarded it as simply the raw
ings of a man rendered temporarily in
sane by pain.
AS the dying man grew worse his bur-
den Of sin seemed to weigh more heavily
upon his mind, and he continually cried
out that he could not stand the groans and
shrieks of "Annie" any longer. He i'm
agined himself in the room where the
woman was undergoing the torture, and
the dying cries of the poor creature rang
in his ears until the expression on his
face was frightful to witness. Then again
he imagined himself standing beside the
woman after she had died, died under
the instruments of the physician, and his
shrieks and appeals for mercy will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed the
awful sight.
One evening, a short time before he
died, he wa quite calm and asked the at
tendant to call several of his intimate
friends, as he was afraid to go before his
maker with his terrible secret dragging
his soul down to perdition. The secret
was gnawing at his heart, he said, and he
must tell it. He knew he had but a few
hours to live, he said, and he therefore
wanted the persons he mentioned, sum-
moned with all speed. They came, and
there, on his %deathbed. the lawyer recited
the entire story, giving all the details, and
stating that the person he had seen die
was a girl named "Annie," who had sign
ed the affidavit, which was to shield the
physician, and had then submitted to the
operation, the torture of which killed
her.
Half an hour after making the confess
sion, which seemed to ease his mind, the
lawyer passed away. The confession is
said, by those who heard it, to have been
simply terrible, and to show that, under
the guise of a respectable physician, one
of the many doctors Of Minneapolis has
been engaged in a wholesale slaughter of
the babes yet unborn, and in some cases
the mothers. The persons who were
present when the confession was made
will, no doubt, soon be called upon to tell
all that was said at the dying mans bed
side.
The county attorney has begun an in.
quiry, which may lead to astounding rev

THE WINCES.

The Helena journal displays very sus-
picious indignation in denying that 1t has
aided and abetted one Davies in throwing
doubt on titles in Helena and elsewhere.
The journal may delude the public at
large by beating the gong, but there are
ear marks known to the journalistic and
real estate business which are unmis-
takeable.
We assert that the journal has been
in completely with Davies and cite as
proof the following facts:
I. 1t published on Sunday last on its
editorial page, under the head of aim
portant Decisions" the Arkansas Rul-
ings and General Garland's opinion" As
preamble it said:
ain view of the fact that Il great deal
of Montana property may be affected by
the rulings under which Mr.. Davies &C
ouired title to lands in Boyce addition,
the ruling is given in full and the opin-
ion of x-Attorney General Garland"
This article was an advertisement for
Davies and a threat to property holders.
1t was false in declaring that "Dayies
acquired title to lands in Boyce addition
under it," We do not know what pay the
Journal received, but the publication was
as much an advertisement as If it had
devoted a column to Smith, Jones &Co.'s
groceries.
II. On another page in the same pa
per the journal publishes an article near
ly n column long, an interview with
Davies and other details, all so framed as
to deceive the public, alarm property
owners and give some color to Davies
"claims." This article is all the more
criminal and insidious because it is in the
guise of news and pretends to be fair.
In this article the Journal says:
"There is now no question but whatthe
titles OF thousands of acres in Montana
are affected in exactly the same way and
liable to the same process as the lands
acquired by Mr.. Dawes. The law on the
matter is very clear, so say the lawyers
This is a downright %falsehood, we'll
planned, to aid Davies little game. The
voice and the words are as unmistakeable
as those of the bunco-steerer. Life is too
short to analyse the article further.
Moreover, it would be foolish to give
Davies any more notoriety or Importance.
We leave the matter to the reputable real
estate dealers of Helena. Let the Jour
nal, which processes to be friendly to
their interests ask their opinion of its con-
duet.

title shark, has so far filed papers for but
one of the three pieces of Helena proper

Prof. Thompson ought not be expected
to do editorial work while he has public
duties to attend to MS principal of the
school. If Rolte imposes such duties
Prof. Thompson should protest. He is
not expected to work for the school and
run Il paper at the same time, rs he has
been for solne weeks, much to the detri-
ment Of our schools.

When Milligan had heard read some

WARM CONTESTS.
Situation of the Struggle for the viticult.
ural Commission
F. Post, April 11th.

Is. F. Post, April 11th.l
Governor Waterman will in few days
| end the contest which has been going on
| for the past two months for the places on
the State Vidcultural Commission which
| are soon to be vacant. The struggle for
these places has been much warmer than
usual, particularly in regard to the COM
missionerships of the San Francisco and
Napa districts.
Four places become vacant in few days,
being those of Commissioner Wetmore of
the San Francisco district, Krug of the
Napa district, Manlove of Sacramento and
Shorb at large.
Ii is generally believed that Shorb will
be reappointed, though the position was
offered to Arpad Haraszthy. He declined
it, not liking his treatment of a year or so
ago when John T. Doyle was appointed to
succeed him. DR.. Manlove has never
taken any interest in the affairs of the
Commission. Whether he will be reap
pointed or not it is difficult to say. H. NJ.
La Rue is out for the place, which was
offered to Z. w. Maslin, but was declined.
Regarding the San Francisco Commits
sionership there has been a hot struggle.
The unfriendly relations of the Governor
and Mr. Wetmore precluded the possibility
of his being appointed. julius p. Smith,
of Livermore, anpounced himself candi-
date. and messrs. John l.. Beard, Wallace
Everson and c. G. MeIver were named for
the place. 1t is said, however, that B. ].
Portal, of San Jose, is slated for the place
but an active opposition has developed to
him, as Santa Clara county already has one
representative in the Board in John T.
Doyle. The vineyardists of San Mateo,
Santa Cruz and Alameda counties think
they ought to have representation.
The San Francisco Wine Dealers Asso-
citation has also presented a number OF
names to the Governor, from which to Sc
lect Commission. 1t is reported that he
has chosen E. c. Piber. Manager of The
Nspa Valley Wine Company, to succeed
Mr.. Krug in the Napa district, though Mr.
Priber does not live in Napa valley. The
name of c. Carpy was also laid before the
Governor. Mr.. krug was a candidate to
succeed himself, and H. A. Pellet was also
in the field.
An objection has been raised TO Mr. Pri-
ber on the ground that he IS not resident
of the district, but he might qualify by
moving to the valley. The appointment is
attracting considerable attention, and until
the Governor makes his intentions known
there will be much interest felt in the mat
