SENATOR'S DUTIES.
The Helena Herald ind journal print

The Helena Herald ind journal print
conspicuously the following:
l do solemnly swear that l will support,
protest aud defend the constitution of the
state OF Montana and that | will discharge
the duties Of my office with fidelity.
lSigned. William Parberry, Daniel j.
Hennessy, William M. Thornton, Joseph
A Baker, r. G. Redd, g. w. Hoffman, C.
j.. McNamara, W. S. Becker.
We print it, too, and rejoice that eight
senators have stood firmly by the consti-
tuition and discharged faithfully the duties
entrusted to them. Their primary duty
was to see that no laws were made for
Montana by persons who were not duly
elected. They have done so. Another
duty was to elect two United States SEN
ators in concert with the house. This
the senators have also done. They have
chosen Clark and Maginnis, who are well
qualified to represent Montana III the
United States senate.
Montana needs legislation badly, but
she cannot allow fraud to triumph. The
senators must ''protect and defend the
constitution" whatever may be the conse-
quences.

Duh SCHOOLS A

The penchant of the Rolfe for false
hood is seen in its weak defense of Mr..
Thompson Of the schools. In one place
Rolfe says Thompson has worked on the
paper and in the next sentence AYERS he
Is constantly" working out of school
hours for the benefit of the schools. This
is consistency Rolfe says no criticisms
have been made on the schools. The
TRIBUNE can furnish him a list of names
of prominent citizens, patrons OF the
schools, who complained to him (Rolte)
yesterday of the management Of the
schools, and it is we'll known that COM
plants have been made to the other
members Of the board. Why does not
Mr.. Thompson assist DR.. Ladd with bis
patients or go behind the counters at
Frank Webste1's? These gentlemen are
members of the school board, but fortu-
nately they do not regard the position as
a personal one, or we would have no
school at all. The glst of the Whole mat
ter is that when a man is paid a good
salary TO do a certain work, in which the
entire community is interested, and then
neglects that duty until dissatisfaction
becomes almost general, it is time to call
a halt. That this is Thompson's case is
proven by the Leader itself. No other
witness is needed, although many could
be called. Here Is the Leaders testi-
mony:
''7he new bell for the high school drrsued
Tuesday and wiN be Hung' as soon as Prot.
Thompson can get time, betueen his duties
as editor Of the Leader and hours of dossing
tile school, to liant up a carpenter and black
smith to do the necessary work Of hanging"
Of course Mr.. Thompson did not see
this before it went into cold type, or he
would nave "slashed" the innocent sheet
of copy right and left. But no one knows
better than those who "passed" the item
that Mr.. Thompson has been sadly
neglecting the schools.
For the information of the Rolfe we
will state that the "Collins outfit" re-
ceived what education they have in the
public schools and never for a minute
attended any other. They have always
given the heartiest support, in every way
possible, to our grand system of common
schools, and l n the face of the facts, the
filings and insinuations of Rolfe will fall
harmless. 1t is absolutely certain they
have never sought to make any school a
personal institution where favorites or rel
atives are sinecured at the public expense.

LAND OFFICES.

There is no part of Cascade county
which should be included in the land Of
fee which Mr.. Carter proposes to estab-
fish at Lewistown. All the business of
Cascade county with the head office is
10Y transacted through Helena and there
it should be transacted, undoubtedly, until
Great Falls has q land office OF her own.
In addition to the objections against di-
vision which would create confusion and
inconvenience is the transportation ques-
ton. Mail routes and railroads combined
render it easier for settlers to come to
Great Falls from ALL parts of Cascade
county than to go to Lewistown, which is
separated from Cascade county by a billy,
mountainous country, which no settler in
any part Of Cascade county would willing
ly traverse to transact land Office business.
Settlers car now prove up readily and
conveniently at Great Falls. Contest
cases can be conducted with regularity
and economy in this city. When it be-
comes necessary for settlers to 60 to the
registers office at Helena, they can do so
by railroad in four hours from Great
Falls which has a central location and is
in close communication at all times with
the rest of the county. The Belt Noun
tain railroad, the Great Fails and Canada
and the Grea: Northern's Pacific extern
slon-all to be completed this year
will increase still more the facilities for
reaching Great Falls from all parts of
Cascade county.
1t is otherwise as regards Lewistown.
No railroad connects any portion of Cas-
cade county with that town. None of
our people could conduct general land
office business there without much greater
loss of time and expense than are now
necessary. 1t takes two and a half days
to go from this city to Lewistown. The
time is nearly as great from the eastern
part of the county while from the west
ern districts it is much greater.
AS we have asserted already, Great
Falls is best entitled to another land Of
fee # such is to be established to accom-
modate settlers in northern Montana.
There would be abundant business to
support one, which is not the case at
Lewistown. Our city is the center of a
rich productive region, which is under
going rapid settlement. The present and
projected railroads would enable a larger
number of people to reach it quicker and
cheaper THAN N OTHER PLACE in north
ern Montana, Fergus county included.
We have here a strong bar, good hotel
accommc dalton and the fullest facilities
for conducting land ONCE business with
satisfaction to the public and advantage
to the government. If Mr.. Carter is
guided by public interests alone he will
see that the proposed land office is estab-
lished here. His conduct in selecting
Lewistown without asking for any ex-
preston of public opinion meets with
disfavor among his republican supporters
here. Our people reasonably expect
that the location of land offices shall be
decided on public grounds and no other,

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1880.
SEMI-WEEKLY
Q SPEAKS OU7

Governor Toole speaks out boldly
against Reeds autocratic acts in the fol-
lowing telegram which he sent the New
York World in reply to a request for his
opinion:
HELENA, Montana, Feb. l, 1s90.-Edi-
tor N. Y. Word l regard Reeds ruling
as the eapstone of political infamy. Witt
the audacity of a desperate he publicly
deties long established presidents and,
yielding submissively to the demands of
a debauched and degenerate party that
never fails to stab the constitution when
it stands in the way of an unholy purpose,
he brushes aside that instrument with a
dexteriety and determination which, if
persisted in, must surely lead to the
speedy dissolution and righteous destruc-
ton OF the republican party or the rapid
ruin of a boosted republic.
JOSEPH X. TooLE.
Now let the democracy and liberal re-
publicans unite in denounclng Reeds at
tempt to bulldoze the house of represen-
tatives. His method will open the flood
gates for fraud and make congress little
better than those Span1sh-American leg
islatures, which simply ratify the will of
the administration.
While the Organs" all uphold Reed,
the democratic and independent press
sounds the tocsin. The New York Her.
aid tersely outlines the impending evils
thus:
What Speaker Reed is doing, and has
SO far coerced his party to support him
in doing, is to substitute violence for law;
and if this can be lone in this
it will be done In every congress hereaf-
ter. 1t is an end, a hopeless end, to or
derby legislation. 1t is an invitation to
the passage of the most corrupt measures
by the most corrupt methods.
The New York Times breaks loose
from its republican affiliations and says:
Republicans are very nervous over the
display of arbitrary power that Mr.. Reed
has been making. The record of the
past few days contains evidence as to the
fitness of each of the two parties to gov
ern that will have its effect when the
choice of the country is next to be made.
The western democratic press is in full
accord with the other champions of the
peoples rights. The Chicago Herald as
serts that "what the republican members
contemplate is the unseating of II legally
and honestly elected democratic members
and then the plundering of the treasury
The st. Louis Republic declares that
"Hoodlum Reeds flats are not rules" and
adds: "No lawful lawmaking body can
unseat its members by other than lawful |
means."
Reed holds that the "rule of the major
ity is at the very base of our government"
but he ignores the fact that the constitu-
ton and whole machinery of government
are designed to secure equal rights and
prevent the majority from riding rough
shod over the minority.
The tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1890, 1890-02-05

WI are afraid that the published re-
ports do not do justice to Tom Carter.
When Bynum referred in his able speech
t. the Montana steal, Carter jumped
from his seat as quickly as if he had sat
ON Il tack. Then, we presume, he turned
Il somersault. But Speaker Reed would
not accord him recognition" So Carter
"calmed himself" 1t is comforting to
read thas such was the case. If Carter
had run-a-muck the consequences must
have been dreadful.
The tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1890, 1890-02-05
DESPERATE.

The smallness of the republican ma
jority in congress has alarmed Speaker
Reed and caused him to adopt "a revolu-
tionary act which is a direct blow at
democratic government. On Thursday
he maintained that there was a quorum
present, when only 1862 votes had been
cast-that is four less than a majority.
Hitherto in the stormiest conflicts, speak
ers have held that a maj ority of the mem
bers elected and voting was essential to
conduct business. James G. Blaine held
so and declared thatthegrossest frauds had
been perpetrated in legislatures by infrac-
tons of that rule. "Itis the business of the
majority" he said,"to see that u quorum is
present"-a sentence which knocks down
at a blow the speclous argument that the
majority must rule in whatever fashion
they see fit.
Reeds ruling will he resisted 20 the
utmost by the democratic minority for
these among other reasons:
l.. 1t sets aside Il fundamental princi-
pie which has stood the test of a century
in congress aud in state legislatures.
Ii. 1t is based on the wrong assump-
ton that minorities have no rights.
Ill. 1t would open the way for gross
frauds. As a member said the other day,
one vote would suffice to pass u bill under
Reeds rules.
BY such acts as Reeds the republican
party is digging its W grave. 1t has
entered on the broad path which leads to
destruction.
The tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1890, 1890-02-05

The Helena Herald says: eff the
democrats have now the least shadow of
an excuse for maintaining any longer
their rump organization and blocking the
wheels of Legislation, we should like to
hear it. Don't all speak at once.' This
is a sample of the gibes and sneers by
which the Herald widens the breach
which all good men would heal. Such
nagging will not avail. Over go days
have elapsed since the session began, but
the democrats are as firm as ever. They
will never recognize as lawful members
the five Silver Bow claimants whose
weak cause the Herald espouses.

La Grippe-A Few Pointers.

Persons who have a cold are much
more likely to take the influenza or SO
called la grippe.
1t is much more severe when accom-
panied by a cold.
The most critical time is when recover
ing from the disease, as slight exposure
will often cause a relapse and that is al
most certain to end in lung fever or pneu-
monia.
The feet should be kept dry and warm,
the body we'll clothed and care used to
avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take qui-
nine to keep up the vitality.
