The Railroad Man Don't Like Him.

There is one class of men that is
both hated and dreaded by Pullman
car conductors and porters, and that
is the professional spotter. There are
about forty of these in the employ of
the company, and they are the terror of
our lives. 1t is not that they discover
pecunlary dishonesty, for very few
instances of this occur, and no one
could object to the company endeavor-
ing to protect its interests. The thing
that we complain of is that these
spoilers are continually endeavoring to
inveigle us into violations of petty rules,
with the object of reporting us. For
instance, there is a rule forbidding us
to smoke on duty. Often in the even
ing we would like cigar, but we are
not allowed to enjoy it. The spotter
will sit up until all the rest have gone
to bed, and then produce fine cigar,
say that no one will know if we smoke,
and press it upon us. Sometimes q
conductor will yield, and then his
name is sure to go in to the main office.
The same rules prevail in regard to
drinking, and the spotter uses his
whisky bottle to trick us into a
violation of regulations. The porter is
also subject to his surveillance. There
is a rule of the company torbidding the
upper berth to be- raised at night unless
the entire section is paid for. The
spotter will offer the porter to raise the
berth, and if he consents will report
him. If these detectives would
contine themselves to watching for
violations of the rules and regulations
no one would complain, but it seems
very hard for great company to hire q
lot of men to throw temptation in the
way of its employees. and then dis
charge them tor yielding.-M. Louis

HOW rs THIS?
The following explains itself:

The following explains itself:
Editor of the TRIBUNE-May l tres
pass so far upon the columns OF your
paper as to inquire whether there is any
foundation in fact for the whispered
rumor that contraband goods and China
men are being struggled into Montana
over the Great Falls & Canada road.
Rumor has it that some certain unnamed
employee or employees of the road are
cOgniZant OF or cOnnive at the snug
Cling, the officers and directors being en-
tirely ignorant of it. 1t is also said that
the deputy United States collector at the
boundary line cannot possibly discover
the contraband goods as they are COW
cred with coal ard cannot be detected
without unloading each car.
Yours truly. INQUIRER.
Our correspondent has asked the
TRIBUNE something it cannot answer.
We have heard the rumor and listened
to suggestions as to the best method to
stop the smuggling if it is really being
done. The plans proposed is to have
the road worked by Canadian crews up
on the Canada side of the line and by
American crews upon this side. With
two crews Zach of different n%ationalities,
it is argued, it would be next
to an impossibility to smuggle
opium or Cinnamon into Montana
over that road as each would be a check
upon the other. If smuggling were at
tempted it would first be necessary for
those engaged in 1T to effect an under
standing with the members of each crew
and that would be a too dangerous pro-
ceeding to be thought of. II is thought
that as long as II crew of men runs a
train all the way from Lethbridge to
Great Falls Just so long will smuggling
be possible over the road. In view of the
possibility the suggestion is made that
a change of working crews be made at
the boundary line. 1t is further sug-
gested that it would be in the direct line
of the interest of all parties concerned if
dH laborers or employees of the road up
Oh the Montana side of the line were
citizens of the United States. in which
case the foreign labor contract law
would not be violatep and all suspicion
of favoritism in the selection of men to
work upon the road, would be avoided.
But of this something may be said here
after. 1t must be understood that no
direct charge of smuggling, traceable to
parties is here made, and that the officer
and directors of the road are ignorant of
any being done.

THE Wall or THE FRAUDS.

1t transpires that Col. Sanders and
Tom Power have expressed regret
which is said to be sincere that Con
gresham Dixon voted in caucus for
Mills for speaker. They attribute his
'break," as they are pleased to term it,
to his slack Of political sagacity" and
will result in placing him in an unin-
tiuential position when the committees
are made up by Speaker Crisp, thus rem
dering it almost impossible for him to
effect cooperative legislation for the
benefit of Montana, and that whatever
bill may be passed in the senate must
he carried through the house by some
democratic friends who voted for the
right man. All this rot is supplemented
with the remark that in the last con-
gress the efforts of Sanders and Power
in the direction ofgood for Montana were
''ably and aggressivcly seconded by Mr..
Carter whose absence from the house
will be sorely felt"
Just what Sanders and Power paid
the Washington chump for sending this
stuff over the wires to the west does not,
of course, appear. Sanders probably
gave him a weeks board while Power
may have put up a cigar. BE this as it
may those occupiers of the seats of
Messrs. Clark and Maginnis never ut
tered more nonsense in the same num-
Der OF words than, is here credited to
them. They assume in the first place
that Congressman Dixon committed a
great political sin in voting for Mills and
in the next place they would make it
appear that Speaker Crisp is an avenging
god who will visit Mr.. Dixon with his
wrath for not voting for 1.-THE right man.
and that he will make Montana suffer
because its representative at Washing
ton saw fit to cast his vote for a COM
petitor for the ~speakership.
No n will, for a moment. indulge the
thought that Mr.. Crisp is a revengeful
or an UNJUST man or that he is weak and
spiteful. 1t is useless to waste words to
negative the assumption. Montana's in
terests will not suffer at the hands of
Speaker Crisp, nor will Mr.. Dixon be
shorn of his power to perfect needed
legislation for his state by reason of his
voting for Mr.. Mills. The wall Of San
ders and Power over the absence of Mr..
Carter from the house appears ridiculous
here whore the fact of his lodging the
test vote on silver and his failure AZ Il
legislator are so well known. Carter made
lore noise and did less for his state than
any other representative it has had. Mr..
Dixon cannot do less than Carter did
ever il he do nothing.

Thar is a funny reciprocity treaty
pose to admit German beet sugar free
which will come in direct competition
with our W beet sugar producers while
Germany still imposes 10 per cent of her
old tariff upon American wheat and orr
meal, and 81 per cent of her old tariff on
American butter and picked pork.
Known fact that Germany must have
American breadstuffs and meat to keep
her people from actual suffering. If
that be reciprocity in the sense it is gen
orally understood the less we have Of It
the better will it he for us.

The story is revived that Mr.. Blaine
will soon make known his intentions in
regard to the republican presidential
nomination next year. The TRIBUNE
does not believe a word of it. Mr.. Blaine
once wrote a letter from Florence which
completely destroyed his appetite for
that kind Of epistolary diet. Second or
third parties may profess to have re-
ceived assurances from Mr.. Blaine that
he will or will not accept the nomination
but until such assurance come over his
signature no reliance can be placed upon

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER's plan of cam
paign against the Mckinley tariff, as
outlined in the TEIBUNE's dispatches
yesterday morning, is a good one. A
very large majority of the people of the
country will unite with the democrats in
congress in the request that wool, salt
lumber. cotton ties, coal and binding
Irvine be placed upon the free list, be-
side sugar, coffee, tea and hides. His
suggestion as to the method to be pur-
sued to acquire data concerning the cost
of manufacturing certain fairfield arti-
Giles, with wages paid to workmen, etc, is
also sound. Subcommittee can reach
every source Of information and when OBJ
tanned a thorough study and understand
ing of all will lead to intelligent tariff
legislation.

rary emerged from it's burrow long enough
last night to admit the council made an
egregious blunder in it's attempt at sal
AIRY grabbing if-now mark the "if'-ii
it acted without the advice of the city
attorney. Well, the city attorney did
not advise the council to vote itself pay
for services rendered the city. A little
more prodding upon the part of the
TRIBUNE will doubtless make the Leader
admit that its printing contract with the
county commissioners smacks strongly
of pay grabbing in which the county is
the sufferer.

IT Is hardly within the range of proba-
bilities or even Of possibilities that the
seat of Senator Bricc will be taken from
him and given to Mr.. Foraker or any one
else. The Ohio Legislature may resolve
that Mr.. Brice's seat is vacant, but the
United States senate, which recognizes
the regularity and legality of Mr.. Brice's
credentials. will not violate all precedents
and go behind the returns to inquire in
to his citizenship. That body will take
it for granted that the Legislature which
elected Mr.. Brice knew what it was do
ing and is responsible for his election.
Amy other action upon the part of the
senate would open wide the doors for all
kinds of Investigations bearing upon the
seats held by other members of that
body.

usually large exports of the country but
like the most pronounced demogogue
mentions them only in connection with
his treatment Of the tariff question
leaving the impression their great volume
is due to the operation of that measure,
while every intelligent man knows that
they are due to u immense crop sur.
plus and the demand for it in Europe.
1t appears impossible sometimes for even
the president of a great nation to rise
above the level of a pot house politician
in tracing effect from cause.

the man for the faber-pusher to pump
if ne wanted to pump either, but it was
not in good form for the newspaper Pau
Pry to attempt to interview Crisp in the

pension payments alone will require an
appropriation Of nearly Sl5O,OOO,OOO-or
to be exact Sl17, lGi ,550-for the year
1893. When it is known that much of
this vast sum Of money will be given to
dishonorably discharged soldiers, and to
deserters and to men who never saw a

CLUBS.

1t is admitted that it was through the
organized democratic clubs in Massa-
chusetts that the democracy of that
state won such a splendid victory
at the last ~gubernatorial election. The
republicans could not withstand the
enthusiasm aroused by these organiza-
lions and went down before it. Demo.
cratic clubs are now being formed in
about all the western states with tiatter-
ing success, and the young men, true
to their democratic instincts, are joining
by thousands.
What is being lone in other states has,
in "a measure, been accomplished in
Montana. A large number of democrat
ic clubs has been formed. and members
are becoming deeply interested in the
work before them. There is need for a
more extended organization of these
working bodies and the need will exist
,ntil every community in the state has
is democratic club. We are approach
ing "A national election which. by reason
of the great issues involved and the
magnitude of the parties which will OPP
pose each other. promises to be one of
the most memorable and important
political contests in recent years. Now
is the time for the democracy of the
country to prepare for it. In this state
the party is united and the labor Of put
ting it in shape for a vigorous campaign
next year is comparatively light.
In Massachusetts the clubs have been
in charge of men prominent in business,
and in social life as well as in politics.
while the young men have aided more as
helpers than as leaders. In these far
western states vi young men are pre-
pared TO work in the lead, and to them
should be entrusted the active labors of
the clubs. As a rule they are indus
trious. energetic, enterprising, enthusi.
astic and intelligent. They get there
every time for they know no such word
as fail" Older heads may direct and
shape the work but younger ones can
perfect it. Young men are those who
have not passed to the declining side Of
life. They represent the best fighting
strength of the democratic party and
embody its enthusiasm and energy.
They should not be ignored in the max
ing up Of the working forces of demo
cratic clubs.

GOLD BUGS CALAMITY CRY.

l am still of the opinion hat the free
coinage of silver under existing con-
ditions would disastrously effect ouI
business interests at home and abroad,
X Il Il To place business upon a sill
yer basis would mean a sudden and Sc
we're contraction of the currency by the
withdrawal of gold and gold notes and
such an unsettling of all values as would
produce a commercial panic.-Harrison's
message.
The first paragraph is reproduced to
show that Mr.. Harrison does not pro-
pose to approve a free coinage bill, and
both are given that the reader may have
the benefit of his reasons for being a
gold bug. The president employs the
same old calamity argument against free
silver that the gold bugs employed in
the debate which preceded the passage
of the Bland coinage bill in 1878. They
then declared that the coinage of silver
meant the placing of business upon a
silver basis and the withdrawal of gold
from circulation or the driving it out of
the country. They have harped upon
the same string ever since. Harrison
harps upon it. What fools tor knavcs)
these mortals be-" When the Bland act
became IL law in 1878 there were only
SlGo,0o0.o00 Of gold in circulation in the
country. The silver circulation was in.
significant as the silver dollar had been
dcmonctizcd five years. Now if Mr..
Harrison will turn TO page l. of the re
port of the secretary Of the treasury.
which he submitted to congress with his
message. he will find the following words
and figures:

go. SOiJ,lf'"bbl
oll'er . hbj,-il,o-f
Does these figures show that the coin
age of silver is driving gold out of the
country: We have gained over SJO0,OOO.-
600 in gold during the past thirteen
years aud about S5O0.OO0.000 in silver
in tiit uii ISliot. hht stl We
have been told each year since 1873 that
auy increase in the use of silver as money
would drive gold out Of the country. In
the face of these facts and figures Iiar-
rison keeps up the gold bugs calamity
howl.
Another thing Mr.. Harrison very well
knows or should know and that is this:
The free coinage of silver does not mean
the placing of business upon a silver
basis. Our STANDARD silver dollar of to-
day will purchase just as much as the
gold dollar in any part Of the United
1t circulatcs side by side with
gold. Still business is not placed upon
a silver basis MOI is silver driving gold
out of the country. But by no process
reasoning can it be shown that free
coinage would change the present
relations of gold and silver in this
country. They are fixed.
