FEUD QUENCHED IN BLOOD.
Two Texas Farmers Meet, Quarrel
and Kill One Another.

A double killing occurred nine miles east
of Weatherford, Texas, in Parker County.
A. s. Frohman and William Rivers, well
known farmers, were neighbors, but for a
long time a feud had existed between them
and their families
They met early in the morning on Rivers's
farm. and Rivers was accused of killing a
dog belonging to Frohman. During the
alteration which ensued, both men began

COL. BILLS.

Sanders has his hands full of bills il
the senate. Among those which he has
introduced is one for the establishment
of two new land offices in Montana ont
at Dillon and one at Fort Benton. The
colonel greatly mistakes the sentiment
of the people Of northern Montana If he
thinks they favor the establishment Of a
land Office at the venerable town down the
river. A concensus of opinion points to
but one place in northern Montana for a
land office Great Falls. The reason
why it Should be located at this city are
too apparent to be enumerated. 1t is the
metropolis of northern Montana. 1t is
the market for the surplus soil products
Of this portion of the state. 1t is its
commercial center and distributing
point. It is a railroad center and can be
easily reached from any point of the
compass. Ranchmcn find their best
market and cheapest supplies here. 1t
is really the only proper place for IA land
Office in this portion of the state. The
colonel should substitute the name of
Great Falls for that of Fort Benton in
his bill.
Col. Sanders can still further the in
~tercsts of the peoplco OF northern Montana
by attending to a couple more matters
which demaud attention and call for
legislation. Tho office Of the collector
of customs for Montana should be moved
to Great Falls, and an appropriation
should be made for the erection of a
POSSIBILITIES, land Office and custom house
building at this city. One is needed to
accommodate the rapidly increasing
~postoflice business of the city and it
should be made large enough to supply
apartments for land and custom house
offices. The colonel has introduced bills
for the erection of public buildings at
Helena and Butte. A few movements of
the pen can add the name of Great Falls
also to the bill with a provision for a
generous appropriation for the construc-
ton of the building. The TRIBUNE is
satisfied that Colonel Sanders will lend
"a favorable ear to the above suggestions.
While we do not believe that congress
will do much, if anything, IN the public
building line, there can be no harm in
introducing bills providing for them. AS
Helena and Butte have the representa-
tives in congress it may appear presumpt-
GUS upon the part of the third city in
size in the state to ask for anything at
the hands of congress. but it. does and
the TRIBUNE hopes that it's wishes may
be gratified to the extent of a land office,
q customs house office and a public
building in which to put them.

THE MAIN I'OINT'.

The main point Ia b" decided in the
case against the Mckinley act before
the supreme court Of the United States
is this: Can the president Of the United
States be authorized by congress to i'm.
pose a tariff tax on certain articles of
import: The question is of the utmost
Importance. 1t is an arbitrary power to
bestOw upon the chief magistrate of the
nation "a greater power than any king
or queen in Europe possesses.
This is the way the matter stands.
The Mckinley tariff act provides that
reciprocity treaties may be entered INTO
between the United States and certain
other foreign nations. 1t provides for
the free admission of sugar, coffee and
hides, but in case for instance Brazil
a nation does not see fit to exchange
products with this country upon the
basis Of free admission then the presi-
dent is authorized to levy a tariff tax
upon the coffee, sugar and hides i'm
ported from such country. In other
words if the laws Of Brazil do not please
the president: if they impose duties
upon American products, the Mckinley
act permits him to tax every man and
every family in the United States who
use Brazilian coffee, or sugar or hides.
Can the president be empowered to do
AZ. Vt
this: That is the main point in the
case now before the supreme court at
Washington.
1t requires no argument to show that
by the same line of reasoning which
would sustain this provision of the
present tariff act, the national legislature
might authorize the president or the
secretary of the treasury or any other
man to tax the cotton and wooden and
iron manufacturers Of the country if he
thought best, or to take or IA tax on any
given article when in his opinion it
should be done. The decision in the
case is awaited with interest. The ron
stitution provides that congress alone
shall possess the taxing power. No pro-
vision is made for the delegation of that
power: in fact it is forbidden. Now
what will the supreme court ,lo about
if.
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1891-12-19

The Louisville Courier-Journal con-
tends there is nothing more delusive in
international relations than the idea that
w can punish another nation by taxing
ourselves. The tariff is a tax raid by
the consumer when he purchases the
taxed article. No one will dispute this
proposition. Brazil may see proper to
refuse to admit certain American prod
ucts into her ports free of duty, but how
very foolish it would be for us to sur
render free sugar and free coffee and
free hides and tax ourselves to get those
articles in order to punish that country.
These remarks are suggested by the pos
sibility that the president may restore
the old duty on those articles if coun-
tries producing them do not enter into
reciprocity treaties with the United
States.

REEDS GAG L

Gar Reeds gag rules of the last ses-
sion were literally kicked out of the
house by the democrats the other day.
They were a stencil in the ~nostrils OF
fair-minded men and a disgrace to a leg
~islative body. They were formulated to
tic and gag the minority, divest it of ev-
cry right and ride over it rough shod.
The democrats could have avenged them
selves upon Reed and his handful of re-
publican colleagues by adopting his rules
for tho government of the house and
thus crammed his own medicine, con-
cocted for democrats, down his throat.
But they kicked his cowardly, oppres-
siye rules out of the house and passed a
resolution declaring the house would be
bound by those Of the fftieth congress
until such time az its W committee on
rules shall make Il report.
The action of the democratic majority
in this matter is significant. 1t means
that Rcedism is at an end in h cnational
~ ioiubui'' uIlt ttdl tIt DttCtutHl SGT
by the last congress is to be ignored. 1t
means there will be no illegal counting
Of quorums. 1t means that no rule will
be adopted under which the speaker
may practically suspend the rights, priv
ileges and functions of a member by re-
fusing to recognize him to make proper
l- " - Ill
not make the speaker a journal keeper
with power to eliminate from or add to
it such matter as suits his purposes.
1t means that members of both political
parties shall enjoy equal rights and re-
ceive fair play. 1t means that the mi
nority shall not be choked down and
that while the majority shall rule it will
not rule Extensively or by brute force.
The house has made "a good beginning
by kicking out Reeds obnoxious rules.

THE PRESENT SENATE.

In view of the fact that tariff reform
legislation of some kind will be at
tempted during this session of the Fifty
second congress the political complexion
of the present senate and the sentiment
of the majority upon the matter become
a subject of interest. Counting Senator
| Brice of Ohio, and Senator Chiffon, of
Texas the senate is composed OF thirty
nine democrats, forty-seven republicans
and two alliance men, the latter being
PETER of Kansas and Irby of South
Carolina.
The new members are FELTON,, rep,
who succeeded Hearst, dem, of Cali
%fornia, Kyle, alliance, of South Dakota
who succeeded Moody, rep, Villas, dem,
of Wisconsin, succeeds Spooncr, rep
Bricc. dem, of Ohio succeeds Payne,

cecds Wade Hampton, dem, H~ansbrough,
rep, Of North Dakota succeeds Pierce,
rep, Hill, DEM, of New York succeeds
Evarts, rep, Gallinger, rep. of New
Hampshire succeeds BLAIR, rep. Gibson,
dem. of Maryland, succeeds Wilson, dem.
PETER, alliance. Of Kansas, succeeds Ing
alls. rep, Palmer. dem. Of Illinois sue
cecds Farwcll. rep. The change gives
the democrats greater strength in the
senate, and hopes Of carrying any rcas.
enable rcvisions Of the tariff through
that body, as PETER and Kyle, and Pad
dock, and Plumb and Pcttigrcw, the last
three Of whom voted against Mckinley's
bill, are pretty sure to vote with the
democrats upon any tariff reform
measure.
Then there is Mr.. Hansbrough of
North Dakota. who is pledged against all
high-tarir legislation. Adding his vote
to the five named above will make the
vote in favor of reduction of tariffs A. to
43 against. There is no question that on
bills putting binding Irvine, and cotton
ties, and barbed wire and certain other
farm supplies or the free list will pass
the senate by the vote as here given.
Harrison may veto such bills but they
certainly can pass the senate on a full
vote Of that body. Tho general desire
for tariff reform is SO pronounced that
several other republican senators may
fall in line with the less radical of their
party and give it to the people.

TIN NOT IN IT.

The reading public, no doubt, has no.
ticcd the graveyard silence republican
journals have preserved since the last
election about the production of tin and
the manufacture of tinplate in the
United States. Before the November
elections their columns teemed with
magnificent lies about the output of the
Temescal tin mines. the brilliant future
of the Black Hill mines, the great sue.
cess Of the Piqua tinplate plant, the
Niedringhaus plant at st. Louis, and of
numerous other mythical plants which
had no existence outside the lively i'm
aginations of republican politicians and
strikers. The stories were manufactured
out of whole cloth for the purpose of de-
ceiving the people into the belief that
the Mckinley tariff, which is taxing
them out of sight under the plea of
building up an infant industry, Is just
what the coun try needs to insure its
prosperity.
Well. the elections are over. McKin-
ley succeeded in pulling the wool over
the eyes of Ohio voters and was elected.
That was all he wanted. Tin is not now
in it. He is not making pilgrimages to
Piqua any more to show gaping multi
tudes how tinplate is made. He stays at
home and chuckles to himself when he
recalls to mind how he fooled the guilt
bic grangers and devising new schemes
~tosfool them again next year. As to the
mines, reports are occasionally circu-
lated that they are producing" but
none of the block tin can be procured at
any market in the United States. The
article is being imported, as usual, from
Wales.
Reliable parties who have recently re
turned from the Black Hills report that
up to date only twenty-five tons of block
tin have been mined there. which sold
at 800 a ton. 1t cost $1,000 IA ton TO pro
duce il. The Temcscal mines make no
better showing. All these tin mines are
in the hands of British capitalists who
are trying the experiment of working
them with cheap Welsh labor. Ameri-
cans are not sin it," neither is tin.

NO HEDGING ATTEMPTED.

1t is quite refreshing to know how the
democratic newspapers in Montana at
tempt to "hedge" on the silver question,
dlvertlng public attention as far as pos
sible from the mixed and inconsistent
position OF their party by referring to
the acknowledged fact that the repub-
lican party is not a unit on the question.
Avant Courier.
The Ayant Courier is hardly honest in
its statements. The tribune, speaking
for itself, has made no "attempt TO hedge
on the silver question:" and speaking for
its democratic contemporaries in the
state it does not know that any one of
them has attempted to hedge on the
question. The TRIBUNE has repeatedly
and earnestly advocated, and still does
advocate, the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. It's democratic contempo-
%raries, as far as the TRIBUNE knows. arc
consistent friends Of the metal. What
does the Courier mean: What demo
cratic paper is hedging? viii the Cour-
icr please answer:
How does the Courier and Mai. Al
dcrson stand on the question: How
does every other republican newspaper
in the state stand? Right along with
Harrison and Sherman and Blaine and
Mckinley and Foster and the other gold
bug leaders of the republican party. An
exception may be made in favor of the
Inter Mountain. which, in it's moments
of sanity, has Il good word or two to say
about the white metal, but it and its re-
publican contemporaries stand ready to
drop right down on the gold-bug plank
which will be inserted in the next ma
tional republican platform unless the
question be eliminated from politics this
winter by the passage of a free coinage
bill. With the record of its party IN
congress upon the silver question we
submit it is in bad taste for the Courier
to criticize the position Of democrats
upon free coinage. The silence of the
grave would better become it.

SPEAKING of the question of penn,
postage it may be put down as a fact
that the man who writes but twenty let
tiers a year is ~irrevocably opposed to pay
ing the postage for the man who writes
n thousand a year. And that is what
the twenty letter man will do and now
does unless the postal service is self-sup-
porting. If the postoffice department
will give the people a better mail service
they will stand the two cent letter post

NO ABANDONMENT or SILVER

No, o does the Inter Mountain r.

mind and what the TRIBUNE distinct,
remembers is this: In the remarks re.
ferred to Mr.. Mills favored the holding
OF the silver issue in allegiance by The
democratic party until the battle againa
the present outrageous tariff had BIN
fought and won. He thinks the tariff
issue is the main issue before the peqt

party should be directed toward the re.

cannot point to any letter of Mr. Mills
in which he insisted upon the total aban.
donment of silver as an issue of the
