cans affect to be pleased with the out
look and predict dire disaster for the
democratic party by IA disruption of the
solidssouth. OF course the wish is father
to the thought. but the facts and con
tingencies do not bear it out. In many
particulars the democratic platform will
be identical with that of the peoples

The south is in harmony with the demo-
cratic party and doctrines and there are
no present indications that the peoples

not. The successes achieved by the
alliance were in the northwest, and if
there is any n thing assured more than

TIiE PERMANENT CAPITAL.

Talking with Il Buttc citizen recently
he SAID To the writer that the Summit
city had no ambition to become the
permanent capital and that as be had
measured public opinion in that city the
sentiment generally was in favor Of Great
Falls for the permanent state capital.
From different Butte sources we have
heard this same opinion given and we
are let tn believe that that city is ex-
cccdingly friendly to Great Falls in that
particular. Butte and Great Falls are
natural allies and in the future their
relations must be intimately close.
Butte has the greatest mines in the
world and to this city will come
most Of her ores for reduction
as here is the natural and fo%reordaincd
smelling and refining center of Montana.
The ore OF the Boston x MontanI COM
pany will soon commence rolling into
this city for treatment at the new
smclter OF that company; the Butte Il
Boston viii come next and the time is
near at hand when even the great Ana
conda company will Guild the greatest
smelling and refining works in the world
at the Rainbow or Great falls of the
Missouri river where water almost
without limit can he cheaply secured
In view of the pleasant business rcla-
tons already established between Great
ALI and Butte and the closer and
stronger tics that will bind them together
in the future, the TRIBUNE is not SIR
prised to find the latter city favorable to
Great Falls for the capital city.
But apart from the ties of common
interest that bind them there are the
very strongest reasons why Butte, and
IN iact All other communities of the state.
should favor Great Falls for the pcrma
ncnt capital. This vigorous and beauti-
full Young city is entitled to it ON merit.
1t is nearer the geographical center than
any other city in the state; it is the most
beautiful and attractive site in Montana.

tural and grazing lands give assurance
ina 1t VIII be the manufacturing, indus
trial and principal city of Montana. 1t
should, and we believe will, be the per-
manent capital of the state.
The TRIBUNE violates no confidence
in saying Great Falls will be in the race
FOR the seat of state government and
we might add that it is not a custom
with Great Falls to ''get left when she
makes up her mind to accomplish a GER
tain purpose.

GREAT FAILS OFFER.

Great Falls has offered a bonus Of
S22,OOW and lands worth, at least. S3O.OOt
to the Congregational college site com

ton at this city. The offer is a mag.
n~iticent one and while it stands as an
evidence of that broad. liberal. cntcrpris.
ing spirit which has characterized its
leading citizens during the short history
of the place, il is but simply an incident
in the onward march Of this phenomenal
city to its manifest destiny as the mctrop-
oils of the great northwest. and whether
1t be accepted or not the wheels OF prog
rcss which have been set in motion
through the in1omitahlo will and pluck of
its moving spirits. will not be stayed or
lose Il single revolution.
With mines Of precious metals of
fabulous wealth lying at It's doors: with
incNhaustihlc Iuarrics of building and
lime stone within easy reach: with q
broad river flowing by its gates that can
be made navigahlc almost to It's source
by the expenditure Of II comparatively
small sum Of money: with a water WI
which can move the machinery of Il con
tinrnt; with a coal fuel supply by its
side practically i~ncyhaustiblc. and sur
rounded with all those other primary
factors which unite in creating a popu-
lous thriving community. it would ap
pear that the people Of Great Falls could
not reasonably ask an increase in the full
measure Of natural advantages which
Il generous nature has so lavishlv be
upon the place. And if
would farther appear that the acccp-
tancr or rejection of its most liberal
offer to the college committee Possesses
