GENEROUS HELENA.

The astute Helena Independent is out
advocating Bozeman as the proper loca-
ton for the agricultural college. There
are good reasons to believe that the peo-
pie of Helena would be pleased to see the
agricultural college located at Bozeman.
1t is also reasonable 70 expect hearty sup
port from Helena for the location of the
school Of mines at Butte. Butte aud Boze-
man are the two formable candidates for
the capital, and the greater the number
Of favors conferred upon these two cities
the more campaign arguments will the
temporary capital have. We have no
doubt that if ~llelera could secretly locate
the public institutions this winter she
would give the agricultural college, the
school of deaf mutes. the normal school
and penitentiary to Bozeman: the school
of mines, the university and several other
institutions to Butte, and with her index
finger pointing to these institutions she
would go through the capital campaign
in 1892, crying, "and yet they call ne

The st. Paul Globe indorses Tom
Lowry of Minneapolis ior secretary
of the treasury in the following neat
manner, but of course Mr.. Lowry will
not get the appointment. 1t will go
to Calico Charley Foster. Clarkson.
or some other tenth-rate statesman.
The Globe says: Thomas Lowry has
been named as WINDOWS successor
as secretary Of the treasury. He has
not been SO named by the president,
bnt by men who know him much bet
ter than the president does. But the
trouble in this case, we fear, will be
that, should the president come to
know Mr.. Lowry we'll, he might not
want him in his cabinet, for the rea-
son that his secretary of the treasury
would then be a bigger mar han the
president HIMSELF MIR. Lowry is n
Of the broadcast and clearest headed

west. He is one of the levelest-
headed, as we'll Is biggest Drained
men. He could have had the seat in
the United States senate now occu-
pied by Mr.. Washburn by saying the
word, but he did not want it. 1t
would not suit him. He is too active
a man, too much of a hustler, to stand
embalmment among the mummies of
Capitol hill But as secretary of the
treasury Mr. Lowry would be a sue
cess in the broadcast sense. In that
position he would find full scope for
his splendid ability and unlimited
energy. Hard work agrees with him.
He fattens on wrestling with the most
difficult problems. He is not a theo.
rist On any subject, but is thoroughly
practical in all his undertakings. He
knows a good deal about finance and
financiering, but he does not know it
all, and he knows he does not. in
fact, he does not know that he knows

people know that he knows"

Tits stated on good authority of Calvin
& Brice that the object of the late Gould
trip was to look after the Central aid
South American trade. He said: ut was
our desire to find what steps were
necessary to carry out the intentions OF
the international congress to establish
trade between these countries. We are
completing our arrangements as rapidly
as possible and have already two southern
ports, Brunswick, Ga. and Mobile, Ala.
From these seaport terminals we will
establish several lines of steamers to the
Spanish American countries"

THE AGRICUL7URAL COLLEGE.

The TRIBUNE will watch closely to
note whether or not the people of
Helena, and especially their repre-
sentatives in the legislature, are in
accord with the Independent in ask
ing that the "agricultural' college be
located"sight u~nseen"as the boys trade
jack-knives, and planted in the Gala
tin valley, because, as alleged, there is
more or less oats and barley grown in
that region. 1t will be interesting to
observe if the position taken by that
paper receives the semblance of in
dorsement from the people of the
temporary capital.
Right here we wish to express the
honest conviction that the indie
pendent in its supreme wisdom ad-
vocates the location of the ''agricult-
ural" college at Bohemian on the sup
position that a rival for the per-
manent capital would thus lbe pla-
Gated and that Helena would have
easier sailing" in 1892, and without
much, if any, regard for the welfare
of the institution in question or the
educational interests of the state. 1t
must know as does everybody not
moved by selfish aims, that an agri-
cultural college pure and simple can
never be a succes in Montana, but
that this institution when conducted
on the broader scale contemplated in
the act of congress-which includes
instruction in all branches of the
English languages, in mathematics,

engineering and the mechanical arts

engineering and the mechanical arts
may become a power in the land.
Agriculture "as she is taught" must
be a side issue, and the greatness and
glory of this college so literally ell
dowed by the general government
must depend upon building up a
school of manual training,of engineer
ing, of mechanics, etc. On this basis
wherein is Bozeman superior as a loca.
ton to any other town in the state and is
not Great Falls, the acknowledged home
OF the mechanical arts, the site par ex-
c~ellence for such an institution?
But we must revert to the apparent
motive of the Independent and the
Helena press generally, which is to head
OIL Bozeman as a rival for the permanent
capital. 1t is difficult to account for their
present precautions OF affection on any
other ground. :. Let us see what they are
going to gain by it. Great Falls takes the
broad and liberal ground: that the matter
of the location of the several state in
situations SHOULD be postponed until the
next session of the legislature, inasmuch
rs there is not u dollar in the treasury
that Can be appropriated for the erection
of buildings. TO locate any of them now
does not mean that the least progress
will be made in two years toward build
ing them up, and such hasty and unneces-
sary action might result in errors of loca-
ton that would forever cripple them ami
destroy their influence. We are not ask
lngthat the agricultural $50 called) college
or the state university be located here,
but that the whole matter be deferred for
two wears so that more intelligent artlt Ii
in the premises may be taken. This Is
the unanimous wish of the people of
Cascade county and we b%elievelof north
ern Montana. At present this important
section is almost "a unit in favor of Helena
for the permanent capital, but the press
of that city is taking exa, ly the proper
course to ALLEVIATE this support. The
penny wise pound foolish policy is
typically portrayed. Where one vote
would he gained in the Gallatin
valley five would be lost here. At the
last election Great Falls ranked third in
voting population, and in 1892 it will not
be far from first place, and in all proba-
bility will cast a larger vote than Helena.
If this city is not in the field for the cap
ital its vote will come pretty near deter
mining where the seat of government,
shall be. BY that time Great Falls and
Butte will be closely bound by business
ties, and their combined action would
make it very unhealthy for the Las,
Chance city. OF course the latter would
have Bozeman to fall back on, but il
would be found to be a rather frail sup
port.
The conclusion of the whole matter is
that even from the standpoint of gaining
underground for the coming capital
fight, our esteemed Helena cOntempora-
rles are making a distressing mistake in
advocating the location of the "agricult-
ural" college in the Gallatin valley. As
to any other excus or reason for it, there
is none.
