Willy Senator Teller said: .'The de.
mand for free coinage Of the American
product only is the demand of the
enemies and not of the friends of silver
he said what every observing thoughtful
man knows to he true. And further
more when he said that if the friends of
free silver coinage listen to any com
promise based upon the coinage of Amcri.
can silver alone they vii neither get un-
limited coinage nor the coinage of the
home product. he also said what was
was true. Unlimited coinage of the
white metal will be obtained only by
persistent and vigorous fighting. No
half way measures should be accepted.
The people want unlimited coinage, and
the time is fully ripe to give it to them.

PENSION EXTRAVAGANCE.

The proportions which the pension
list is assuming is really startling. II
one were told that it had increased from
2O7,OOO in 1871 to G76,OOO in 1891 he
would question the figures. But they
are right, and, what is more, there are
over 100000 new claims pending, nearly
all of which will doubtless be allowed, as
assertions and dishonorable discharges
are no bar to claims for a pension. The
cost of pensions this year will reach
S15O,0OO.OOO, an increase of s~10O,OOO,0OO
within the last ten years. That is more
than double the whole expenses of the
government before the war and at least
one third of the national revenue These
are facts which the people of this coun
try must sooner or later consider and
act upon.
1t can not be supposed that this work
of claim agents and pettifoggers and
demagogues can 60 on forever. There
must he an end to the reckless pension
policy Of the present administration.
Every deserving war veteran recognizes
and acknowledges this fact. He knows
that the way the pension list is being
daily added to must result in the bank
ruptcy Of the nation or a scaling down of
pensions by which the really meritorious
must suffer in order that the undeserv-
ing may be provided for. Something
must be done to protect the honorably
discharged and disabled old soldiers.
This reckless pension extravaganza does
them great injustice.

POLITICAL

The political prophets are at it again
and partisan forecasts are already at a
discount. Some say that the great hight
for democratic domination next year is
to be made in Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, lndi-
ana, Iowa and Michigan. These four
eastern and three western states must
be won. say the wiseacres or the demo
Gratis will be left in the presidential race.
Now if they had said that New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and
the solid south must be carried by the
democrats to win they would come
nearer the mark. How it happens they
must capture Massachusetts to succeed
does not clearly appear. The democrats
will elect several democratic electors in
Michigan as under its new law presi-
Dental electors will be elected by con
grcssional districts instead of by the
state at large as formerly.
The tariff, of course. will be a promi-
nent issue in next years campaign and
unless the incoming congress eliminate
silver from politics by enacting a salts
factory coinage law it will also be an is
sue in the platforms of both parties.
There are prophets, however, who pre-
dict that if silver be pushed to the front
by democrats as an issue the party will
lose the presidency. The TRIBUNE does
not believe it. The recent state elections
show that the democratic party has lost
nothing from its triumphs of 1880 and
that everything is working in the line OF
its interests. The democratic horizon is
glowing with hope and is brilliant with
promise. prophets of evil to the contrary.

prohibition states. Maine, Iowa, and

could be extended a couple hundred

Marshal Treat and others in this city
last Sunday. But u Helena contem-

ically denies having telegraphed such

that nothing was sent over the wires to
the Independent or any other paper that
could be tortured into a charge that a

the Independent office.

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
The presence of Cinnamon in any CO

The presence OF Cinnamon IN any COIL
munity is the cause of more or less fric-
ton and trouble. The history OF the
Pacific coast during the past forty years
and that of the Rocky mountain states
for the last quarter of a century prove
this. Still, disagreeable as is their pres
ence, no way has been found by which a
community may rid itself of them when
once they have obtained a foothOld in
it. Like the poor they are ever with
those who have permitted them in their
midst. Yet there is a way, and only one
within the law, to force them out of a
place, and that is: Not to patronize
them. If the whole people of any com
munity will not employ or purchase the
goods and wares manufactured in this
country by Chinese labor John China
man cannot live. He must leave or
starve.
The Chinese cannot subsist upon each
other in this country. They must work
for the superior race in order to make IA
living. 1t her follows that if labor be
withheld from them they must go where
they can find employment or become a
public charge. A Chinaman will return
to his native land rather than become a
dependent upon the bounty of an alien
country. That is a very ~commendable
trait in the Chinese. There is one
thing. however. which stands in the way
of a city or community thus Kidding
itself of the heather. Public sentiment
is not strong enough against the en-
ployment of Cinnamon to make a with
drawal of white patronage effective.
Many people think they can't get along
without Chinese help. Others are in
different and do not carc who does their
work and others again entertain a NOR
bid sympathy for everyone and anyonc
except the poor of their own race and
color. \ people thus divided will never
rid their community of Cinnamon.
Every city in the state except Great
Fails is infected with the pestilence of
Chinese presence and about everyone
has its Chinese quarter where about
every known vice under the sun is
practiccd, and where the street school
ing of many white children is obtained.
The necessity of surprcssing these dens
of vice is recognized by everyone and
yet they 60 on and on all the same and
probably will continue to exist until
sudden calamity arouscs the people
to determined action against them. The
people of Great Falls will not permit the
presence here of Cinnamon. As long as
they adhere to their determination thew
will have no Chinese problem 10 solve
for themselves. But there are other
in Montana in which the problem
is a very serious n They have strug-
gled with it but to no avail and will al
ways Intellectually cope with it until pub
lie sentiment be strong enough to unite
all in leaving Cinnamon severely to them
selves and Withdraw patronage of all
kinds from them. When this shall be
done the Chinese problem in SO far as
the heathens affect white labor and
exert a demoralizing influence upon the
of the land, will be solved.

republican journals, are shouting for
Blaine and Mckinley for the president
ial ticket next year. They do not seem
to comprehend the fact that the logic of
the Ohio election points to Mckinley as
the leader of the republican party in the
next campaign. But whether they adj
nit it or not Mr.. Mckinley will eve
consent to play second fiddle to any man
in his party. He will work in the lead
or nowhere. AS the father of the pres,

contested election in which he was a sue,
cessful candidate, he can justly claim
first place upon his party's presidential
ticket. He will have it or nothing.
