Gov. Boles sqnarely faces the pro-
hibitory liquor law in his canvass
through Iowa. He says that the law
has been fully and fairly tried, and
that it must be pronounced Ineffective.
It's application is not felt at all in many
places, and the efforts to enforce it
anywhere are farcical. He believes
that the people are tired of the bur
lesque business.

The Bismarck Tribune is responsible

The Bismarck Tribune is responsible
for the statement that the Northern
Pacific WINS 100000 acres of land
which is worth from So to $40 per acre,
besides its $500 miles OF track, equip
ments and terminals in Chicago. The
preferred stock pays a dividend of A per
cent and it has behind 1t a reserve divi-
dend fund which will probably be shown
to be 100000 preserved in the treasury
in consolidated bonds at S5) by the forth
coming annual report. 1t isnot general
ly known or remembered that there is a
dividend fund amounting to 100000 be-
longing to the common stockholders, but
this is the case. And still this company
is credited with the intention of acquir-
ing title to 100000 acres of mineral
lands in Montana which, at the least
calculation, is worth $1,000 an acre TAX
ing the lands all together. This makes
the Northern Pacific a pretty wealthy
corporation.

A OF PARNELL.

One Of the most notable figures among
the present generation Of men has passed
from earth. Charles Stewart Parnell is
no more. Born in 1912 he was, as public
men are now regarded, in the prime Of
life, with many years before him. Twelve
years ago Mr.. Parnell came to the front
in the British house of commons as the
leader Of the home-rule party in that
body. For years he held the position
and as the great Irish reformer was quite
as well known as any man on either hem
isphere. Indeed, during the zenith Of
his popularity and fame the name of no
living man was mentioned more fire.
quently and with greater respect than
the name of Charles Stewart Parnell.
He held a warm place in the heart Of
every Irishman and every liberty-loving
American in the world. Had he then
died the name of Parnell would have
beer. written beside those of the greatest
men of the age.
Though great in his love for his coun-
try, great in his disinterested devotion to
it's cause, great in it's advocacy and great
in his sacrifices, he destroyed his useful
ness and wrecked the fondest hopes Of
his life in an unhallowed love for a
woman. In listening to the song Of the
siren he forgot his duty to his fellow
man, and the responsibilities of his high
position, and fell. The Establishments
of Deborah put Samson in the hands Of
his enemies. Cleopatra banished the
memory Of his country from the heart Of
Antony, Mrs. O'Shea robbed Ireland
of it's greatest benefactor; Parnell Of the
respect and admiration Of a nation of
people, and planted the seeds of a quick
death in the bosom of one of the fore
most figures in his country. The man
was weak; the woman was strong. Death
has claimed her victim. Brave soul, rest
in peace!

The editor of the TRIBUNE is kind,
invited by the Brazos River Channe
and Dock Co. to visit Velasco, Texas, at
his earliest convenience. From The
wording Of the invitation it is presumed
it is extended for the purpose of giving
the visitor an opportunity to- see deep
water at the mouth Of the Brazos river.
While thanking the obliging gentlemen
for their thoughtful consideration he is
constrained to confess that deep water
is no novelty to him. He has been in it
so often that he must deny himself the
pleasure Of going down to Velasco to see
more Of it. But as the company has at.
tanned the object Of it's invitation in this
notice it is probable it doesn't care a
continental whether he go or not.

YOUNG JAMES G. BLAINE's answer to
his wife's petition for a divorce is such
a direct contradiction Of the published
statements concerning the causes which
led Mrs. Blaine to apply for a legal
separation from her husband, that one
OF two conclusions is forced upon the
mind of the public: That the lady is
crazy or young Blaine is a stalwart liar.

SOME Of our state exchanges are put
ting Montana cattle shipments for this
year at pretty high figures. About o.
600 have been shipped to eastern mar
kets thus far, but while shipments will
continue till the middle of November it
is now quite apparent the great bulk of
fat cattle has been marketed. The fig
ures, $4,000, for the years shipment are
too high. At the low average price of
$50 per head that shipment would mean
100000 in the pockets Of Montana cat
tlemen. If the shipments be placed at
$4,000 they will far exceed those of any
previous year in the history of the state
and come pretty near the whole number.

FALSE FRIENDS.

Ever since the foundation of this re-
public its financial and tariff interests
have been more or less intimately blend
ed. At no time during it's history have
they been entirely separated or indie
pendent of each other. One was dis
cussed and regulated with reference to
It's effect upon the other by the party in
power. Dear money and a high tariff
have ever been the objects of the corpor-
ate power Of the country, while cheap
money and a low tariff have been the
watchword of the people. We see this
today. The creditor states favor high
protection and a single gold standard;
the western and southern states-the
laboring states-ask for a low tariff and
free silver coinage. These facts are
patent to the most superficial reader.
In view of them the newspaper which
shelves the silver question as not a vital
one before the people has but a limited
comprehension of the real issues of the
day. 1t has not grasped the situation.
Some Of them, especially in Montana,
dare not take a positive stand in favor
Of silver. They are afraid their national
platform will force them to stultify them
and so they talk protection and
keep silent as the dead Caesars upon sill
yer. They compromise with themselves
and their readers by declaring that
while "the silver question is of direct
personal interest to every citizen of the
republic, the real question at issue is the
God save the white metal from
such friends. They get their bread and
butter from the silver miners of the state,
but not a word will they say to promote
silver industry. They are false to
their professions. They prefer standing
line with the gold bugs of the east
'ather than with the workingmen of
Montana.

of inventions in electricity during the

to the satisfaction of ex-President Batch

celebrated Emmons property. If further
tests ars satisfactory the discovery will
have a most wonderful effect on the min

should be careful as to the men they
elect as commissioners in the future.
The Office is one which should be filed

1t is not the place for narrow-gauged

public good second to that of party ia
v~orites; who would vote away the public
funds to subserve private ends and would
tax the people that an individual may

age of silver for Blaine? This becomes
a pertinent question in view of his re,
cent utterance upon the question.
Southern and western democrats are
practically a unit on silver. So true are
they to its interests that they will not
follow the lead of Mr.. Cleveland in his
opposition to the metal. They are not
shouting for the ex-president. Not so
with the republicans. Montana demo-
Gratis repudiate Cleveland's views on
silver; Montana republicans cheer Blaine
with all their old-time enthusiasm, and
this in the face of the fact that he is an
enemy to the first interests of the state.
Hence the question occurs: Are the re-
2ublicans of Montana willing to sacrifice
free and unlimited coinage of silver for
Blaine?

ng votes through appeals to the fears

ing votes through appeals to the fears
and %selfishness Of men he would have
said to his audience: If you have a
short-weight dollar, your bushel is just
as much short-weight, your yard meas
ure is just as much short in length as is
that dollar, not because your measure
does not contain four pecks; not because
your yard-stick does not measure SO
inches, but because gold is inflated.
Silver has not diminished in value, gold
has simply increased; that is all. No
wonder the salt Lake paper exclaims:
If Governor Campbell only had the
sense and the honesty to look this ques-
ton square in the face, he would ever
lastingly smash Major Mckinley in this
campaign. He would tell the men of
Ohio that this is all a false sympathy
which is expressed for the poor man;
that it is a sophistry invented by the
interest -gatherers, the purpose Of which
is to keep the poor man always poor, to
keep the honest business man who has a
farm or a factory, and who is in debt,
always in debt, by reducing the price of
his products to a point which leaves no
margin of profit to him for his work and
his care.
This constant drumming of gold bugs
about a "short weight" dollar and a
"clipped currency" will eventually make
the people very tired, or awaken them to
an inquiry into the matter which will
forever dispel their ignorance or false
ideas concerning the metal. Silver has
not been fairly treated by congress nor
is it fairly discussed by goldites. What
would be said Of the strong man who,
having knocked down the weaker and
placed his foot upon his neck, damned
him because he did not rise and take the
place from which he had been hurled.
Congress knocked silver down from the
position it held as a royal metal beside
gold. The gold bugs have thumped and
beat and dragged it in the mire and dirt;
they have their fingers gripped upon it's
throat and all have piled themselves up
on its PROSTATE body, and just such men
as Mckinley are damning the silver they
have degraded because it does not rise
to it's feet and ascend the throne from
which it was so unjustly dragged.
Will the people never learn these facts?
Can't they see that it is not a 'clipped
currency" they have to fear, but the
strangers of the white metal who would
not only clip it but destroy it that gold
and gold only may become the coin cur
'ency Of the nation. When this shall be-
iccomplished-if it ever be-the true in
vardness of this great fight against sill
yer will be discovered. The gold bugs
will soon let it be known. Their hoard
ID gold will come out and tell the story.
It will be dear money; too dear for the
people to touch. A little of it

CONCERNING the recent sugar boun,y
payment the New York World of the 4th

to s%ugar-makers, under the Mckinley
law, was made by the treasury on Friday.
At two cents a pound a California beet
sugar company was entitled to and re-
ceived $1,000 on 100000 pounds made
since July. Government officials esti-
mate that s5,4OO,OOO will be required to
pay the bounties on sorghum sugar in
Kansas and beet sugar in Nebraska,
Utah and California. The c~ane-sugar
product of Louisiana will undoubtedly
raise the total bounty to s12,OOO,O9O or

payers. This, and increased taxes on
