EXPLAINED.

The following from "Globe Tower
Shots" has a peculiar significance at this
juncture and may help explain what
would otherwise prove mystifying. The
attitude of journals besides the Tribune
upon vital national questions may be
explained quite as readily if occasion
called for explanation:
"Low tariff republicans, whatever that
may mean, have read with pain the
changed tariff leaders in the Chicago
Tribune, which is dishing up the stuff
about protection to our labor which it
has so often ridiculed, and wonder why
this is thus. An interview with Mr..
Wakeman, secretary of the Protective
Tariff league, which appeared in a New
York paper last month, betrays the true
inwardness of the flop. He was conf
dent that Illinois, from whence he had
just returned, would be all right in '92.
IL confess. though" said he, that Mr..
Joseph Medill's paper, the Tribune, is
doing great harm by it's advocacy of free
trade. / saw a republican who was out
and out for free trade. asked him what
was the matter with HIM. He said he
had been reading the Tribune for years."
But here is the meat in this egg. II saw
Mr.. Medills s%on-in-law, Robert Patter-
son." continued this very fresh young
man from New York, "and ] asked him
why it was the Tribune was republican
only three months in every four years.
He said we were wrong in the east in ad-
vocating protection. / then told him
this cold fact: If a free-trade president
is elected in 1892 The worlds fair will be
a farce. Indeed. the triumph of democ-
racy would simply kill the fair outright.
/ think Robert Patterson saw the point.
Illinois would be a bowling wilderness
now and Chicago a prairie station if it
had not been for protection"

ABOUT

The rainmakers have the floor. or. in
baseball p%arlance, they are having their
inning. They seem to do just what they
promised to do. failing only once. when
a slight sprinkle instead of a shower was
produced. Still with all the manifest
benefits to be derived from any mechan-
ical appliance which will produce rain
at the will of the operator, there are
found directors to the innovation. Some
base their opposition upon the attitude
o u moral grounds hat artificial rain
making is an attempted Interference
with the laws of God, and hence is sacri-
legious; and, being sacrilegious, it could
not succeed. for the Almighty would in
the end visit his wrath or displeasure
upon the offenders. They say the laws
of the universe are fixed and should not
be made subject to the control of man,
for if they be in this respect rain would
be produced quite as often to the detri-
ment as to the good of man.
These objections seem weak and fool
ish but they are held by many who do
not rank in the world as fools. Like the
crucitiers of Christ and the prosecutors
of the early scientists, the DIRECTORS are
largely in the majority in some places.
One can hardly treat their objections
seriously. There is really only one view
to take of the matter. In the language
of an exchanges: "The rain producers
should be given a chance. The expert
ments should be thoroughly conducted
before a decision is rendered. If drouths
can be broken in countries where they
depend on the rainfall the good will be
incalculable. In sections where they
depend on irrigation, however, it is not
likely the scheme would be practical.
Even If they could get water by cannon
aiding the skies they could not control
the amount Of the fall, but where thew
store the water in the mountains to be
used as wanted through convenient
bitches and pipes they know exactly
what to count upon"

OF an ordinary boat of the same size; its
permanent color is "a beautiful dull white,
while the chimneys, being of a polished
aluminium, shine like silver. The trial

now thought all the lake transportation

HEALTHYSENTIMENT WANTED.

The te%a-drinking, hypocritical old gran,
MES of the country, whose sympathies
gush out like bilge water from the seams
Of a rotten hulk, over alleged maltreat-
ment of a few dirty, lousy Indians, or
two or three moon-eyed, pestilence breed
ing, moral corrupting heathens, have not
a word to say in condemnation Of the re-
cent massacre of white men in China
and the %indignities heaped upon Ameri-
can missionaries and their families by
mobs of Cinnamon. These outbreaks of
Chinese mob violence are seldom. criti-
cized by these same eye rolling sympa-
thizers of pagan hoodlums and murder
Gus savages. but if a Chinaman or two,
who take the bread from the mouths of
the wives and children of hard working
white men, are roughly used by long
suffering. indignant citizens. they hold
up their hands in holy horror and de
mand that the full penalty OF the law
shall be visited upon them.
The Missoula affair is a case in point.
While the TRIBUNE would counsel the
observance of law and order and the
dealing of evcn-handcd justice to their
violators, it can look with some degree
Of lcnicncy upon the efforts of the Mis-
soula white wagc-earncrs to rid them
of an unholy competition in their
avocations. 1t condemns unnecessarily
harsh measures upon the part Of white
in their work of removing these
Chinese pests, but at the same time its
bowels of compassion are more earnestly
moved toward those who have suffered
and are still suffering from their pres
ence. The majesty of the law should be
indicated; so should the rights of citi-
zens, native or adopted, to earn al hon
est living be upheld. There are two
sides to this Missoula affair. Boiled
down it amounts to just this one simple
proposition: A citizen of this great conn
try has a better right to the channels of
honest labor than one who will not, who
,ares not, and who can not become one.
A little healthy sentiment is wanted in
with the Chinese question.

IT has been decided by Assistant Secy
Nettleton Of the treasury department
that Mr.. Vanderbilt will have to pay a
duty Of 45 per cent on his new yacht,
Conqueror, which vas built in England.
The yacht cost $1,000, and the tariff will
amount to about $4,000. The average
man can now console himself with the
thought that it is sometimes very In
handy to be rich. And it seems quite
proper, after the American yachts have
repeatedly proven their superiority over
English built ones, that the persons who
insult American builders and mechanics
by going elsewhere should pay a heavy
duty for so doing.-River Press.

III ESTRAY Law.

Scarcely an editor in the state favors
the estray law passed by the last legisla-
ture. Its workings are entirely unsatis-
factory and does not remedy the evil for
which it was intended. No doubt the
next legislature will pass a new law
in which they will endeavor to cover the
needs of the case.-Livington Herald.
For several years Montana had no
estray law. The condition of the range
system were such that it was found
almost impossible to frame n to meet
all the exigencies of the situation. FL
nally a law was enacted which it was
thought would cover every desirable
point, but it proved to be clumsy and ex-
pensive and became a dead letter upon
thr statute books. Last winter State
Veterinary surgeon Holloway, assisted
by several prominent stockmen in the
state among whom was Senator Card
well drafted a bill which seemed to meet
the requirements of an estray law
adapted to the open range system.
One of the principal objections to
former estray laws was that under it's
provisions any prairie tramp could take
up, advertise and dispose Of animals be
longing to stockmen Of a remote range
without the owner being apprised' of
his loss. The object of the present law
is to prevent the multitude of irresponsi-
BILE Toms, Dicks and Harrys of the state
from making a living off the herds of
stockmcn. Therefore it m who
shall take up and dispose of strays and
to whom they shall account for their
acts. The intention Of the law is good.
1t is simple and easily understood, and
when properly administered it is salts
factory in its workings to all parties in
terested. Probably the Herald can
name some points in which it is faulty
and will suggest amendments which
may properly and ad~vantagcously be
made.

The Chicago Herald very pertinently
observes that: "For some reason not yet

on cloaks at the rate Of 40 cents for Is
hours. II protection makes wages high

THE SMCGGLED CHINAMEN.

Referring to the decision of a Seattle
judge concerning the disposition which
will ultimately be made of Cinnamon

grants into the dominion by the payment
Of a head money tax of $50 at Victoria

sirable immigrants who would readily be
Struggled into the United States. Re
cent decisions of the United States dis
trict courts have spoiled this little game.
In the case of Lee HON Bow. Judge
Hanford, at Seattle. construed the words
'to the country whence they came in
the Chinese exclusion act, to mean the
country from which the foreigners i'm
mcdiately enter the United States. II
the United States supreme court sus-
tains this construction Canada, and not
China, will have to take back the SNUG
glcd MOngolians, and the dominion gov
eminent will be c%stopped from its un-
holy alliance with the smugglers."
IT would appear upon consideration
that it would be more in the direct line
Of the interests of this country if SNUG
Cling Cinnamon caught on this side Of
the line were sent direct to China rather
than to Canada. If sent to their native
land they would in all probability remain
there, whereas if they were returned to
Canada as "the place from whence they
came,' they would eventually turn up in
this country; for with such an extended
boundary line it is next to impossible to
keep Cinnamon in Canada out of the
United States if they be determined to
enter within their limits. The decision
Of the district courts in the matter
while doubtless in conformity with the
law is not in the interest of this country.
If the struggled Cinnamon who were
recently arrested at Fort Benton were re-
turned to China their experience would
doubtless deter many of their country
men from leaving their native land with
the object of going to Canada for the
purpose Of smuggling themselves into
Montana or other border states. But if
they be sent back to Canada they will
await a more favorable opportu-
nifty to find a home among their brethren
side of the line. The law should be
amended by the next congress so as to
cover the point referred to by Judge
HanfOrd in his decision.

BEGINNING OF THE END.

The utter defeat and complete rout of
the government forces in Chill settles
the fate OF that country for the present.
President Balmaceda is a fugitive and
Presldent-elect Vicuma is a refugee on
board a German wal shin. The city OF
Valparaiso and the country is now in
the hands of the victorious insurgents
or, as they style themselves, the congress
sionalists. Chill is without a govern.
ment and without a head, unless the in
surgent. General Canto, be considered
the head. The beginning of the end APP
pears. A new government must be
formed in which B%almaceda will not be
permitted to take part. The successful
revolutionists will reap the full benefit
of their hard-carned victory. None but
insurgents will have "A hand in shaping
the affairs of the government.
If the regular succession or order of
events had been permitted to follow
each other, Balmaceda would have re-
tired from office next month at the cx-
p~iration of his term, and Pr~csident-elect
Nicuma would have taken the executive
chair. but it appears the latter was quite
as Objectionable to the congressionalists
as the former. He. like Balmaceda, may
consider himself fortunate if he escape
with his life. Both are past Numbers,
and unless they are men of push, nerve
and perseverance both will soon be for
gotten.
1t does not appear at this distance that
Balmaceda was altogether in the wrong.
He had been elected president of the
country upon a supposed fair vote of the
people,; at least no charge to the con
trary has been made. The height of his
offending appears to be his objection to
some of the acts of the congress of the
country. 1t was charged he sought to
be a dictator rather than a president of
the country. While these charges were
being made his sucressor was elected in
spite of the opposition of the congress
sional party. In this country the opposi
ton would have accepted the situation
and waited for n more %opportune season
to elect their man. The congressional
lists appealed to arms. They won their
cause at the point of the bayonet and
will retain power until another success
full revolution ~displace them. All of
which go to show that hot Spanish blood
will meyer maintain a republican form of
government in all that the term implies.
The people lack the element of patience.
