The fact that Helena is using the
Presbyterian church on Fifth avenue as
a county Jail must not be accepted by
the distant reader as an evidence that
the morals of that city are at such low
ebb as to necessitate the turning of its
churches into bastiles. The county is
building a new Jail upon the site of its
old one, and the use of the church build
ing is only temporary. The TRIBUNE
makes this explanation in the interests
of the good people of Helena, as a local
paper flippantly refers to the jailer in
charge as the "Rev. Richards" thus leav-
inn the impression among the unthought-

PINK-HTED

The suggestion of someone that Mon
tana ranchers form an alliance with the
view OF entering into the third party
movement has thrown the Helena Jour
nal into Mysteries. Hear it:
The Montana farmer is too deeply in
lcbted to the system of political economy
that has matured in the nursery of re
publicanism to swing from the moorlngs
of safety and reach for the pink-hued
bubbles blown from the bombastlc FOG
horns at Cincinnati.
Oh. my. amt that a sumner! The
Montana farmer who will reach after
pink -hued bubbles blown from a bonn
bastic for horn" after reading the above
is like Ephraim of old, given up to a
hardness of heart and a r~eprobacy OF
mind that he may be damned He isn't
worth a pink-hued bubble. and the
journal should ease its mind concerning
his fate.
There is another point in the Jour
nails diatribe which the horny-handed
sons of toll should note. 1t AYERS that:
TO the principles of protection applied
to the mineral interests of this state is
the farmer indebted for the local market
that makes his business worthy of the
best energies that he can devote to its
Development Can't the farmer see
that: With silver at 9Gl9 when it should
be on a parity with gold, can't he see
where that protection to the mineral in
terests of the state comes in: OF course
he can, and seeing it he will be very care
full not to reach out after any pink-hued
bubbles. Now if silver was worth 1.29.
AS it would be if the republicans in the
house had not defeated the senate silver
bill last winter. the farmer could afford
the luxury Of a few pink-hued bubbles,
but as it is he must let them alone. I'M
less he is able to buy his own ''bombas-
tic fog-horn' and blow them himself.

on The Montana Alliance" is a clincher.

BUGS AND BUGS.

Letters to Fargo papers do not seem
to confirm the encouraging reports of
wheat crop conditions in Kansas which
were published some time ago. and those
who hazarded the assertion that a good
crop of cereals would knock the farmers
alliance higher than Gilroy's kite, will
have to revise their opinions. One farm
err writing about the difficulties which
beset the Kansas farmer says:
"!The bugs are with us once again, mil
lions of them, the familiar old chinch-
bug. the Hessian fly, the wool aphis, and
a stranger, a tiambergasted little green
devil, that seems to be half fly, half worm.
half grub, and all bill, all teeth and all
stomach, done up around a frame and
inside a coat of hopeless cussedness.
This little devil is very little, but he
seems to carry a kit of tools with him
that includes Il crOss-cut saw, a borer
and a tenoner, a grist-mill and paint
shop. He's green, greener than grass,
but he yellows everything he touches.
Some counties in Kansas are worse off
than they were last year. There is
drOuth in some places, and there is too
much rain in some places, and methods
of planting are poor in some places, and
there are bugs, lots of 'cm in all places.
If Kansas grows as big a crop in 1891 as
she did in 1890, I'll eat a hoe cake with
chinch-bug gravy"

H WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JUNE q. 1891.
L FORT SHAW.

1t is to be hoped that the news re-
ceived from Washington yesterday that
old Fort Shaw is to be abandoned Will
prove true. 1t has long since served Its
purpose and outlived its usefulness. "A
few years ago it was on the outskirts of
western civilization us a barrier against
the c~nroachments of savages upon isola-
ted settlers and sparsely settled commune
ties. Today it is surrounded by thriv-
ing towns and citics.while the once rowing
Indian is comfortably domiciled upon a
reservation where he ~contentedly il not
happily l"ives,fed and clothed by the gov
eminent. All the fight is taken out OF
him by his changed conditions.
The abandonment Of these old forts
upon the western frontier is a good sign.
1t shows that the irrcprcssible Yankee has
taken possession OF the country and that
he has come here 10 stay. 1t shows that
life and property are quite as safe here
as in the older states in the east aid that
the civil authorities are fully able to
police the country. There is no doubt
that the settlers in the immediate vlcln-
ity of the post will rejoice in its abandon
ment. The lands are wanted by them
while the absence of the file of troops
that have occupied the post during the
past few years. will not be regretted.
They are not favorites with the people of
Sun river by any means.
The abandonment of Fort Shaw Will
leave but three POSTS in the state: Forts
Assinnaboine, Keogh and Missoula. These
guard the eastern. western and northcrn
approaches of the state from enemies
without. and impose a check upon sedi-
ton within. The cutting down of the
Fort ~.AssinnabOine reservation should
now follow. 1t is much, very much too
large and its supcrtiuous lands can be
better utilized by settlers, Let the good
work be contaminated.

THOSE BEAUTIFUL LAND GRAB
BERS.

The TRIBUNE through "a %pardonablc
mistake, recorded the departure of the
Helena home-seeking ladies to the CAPT
tai city yesterday morning. They did
not go, however, but like sensible persons
remained a day to take in the sights of
the city and surroundings. The party
went down to the Great Falls on the
Missouri in the forenoon and returned
in the evening, each expressing herself
delighted with the trip. The ladies,
having each taken up 800 acres Of fine
lands about twenty-five miles northwest
Of the town of Choteau, feel that they
can afford to travel now and promise
themselves the pleasure of again
visiting Great Falls in the distant fu-
ture. They will Immediately commence
the improvement of their lands, some of
them with the view of establishing
diaries and memories, while others will
pursue mixed farming upon their hold
ings. Choteau county is to be congratu-
lated upon this enviable addition of en-
terprise, intelligence and loveliness to its
population. 1t goes without saying that
the lands contiguous to those taken up
by these charming land grabbers will
soon be entered by some of the many
good looking, eligible bachelors of Great
Falls. Here is the opportunity of their
lives,
