THE MIS-
TAKES.

The town OF Great Falls is to be con
graduated on the failure Of different
mobs to lynch "Jew Jake" A lynchine
is always a confession of the inadeqnacy
of the law and this does not exist in a
Montana town. A western city of the
vigor and responsibility of Great Falls
can receive no harder blow than alynch.

able a citizen as Alderman Garrett is tc
be taken he had abundant reasons foI
resisting the continued insults heaped
upon him by an officer outside his juris-
diction. The facts will be brought out
at the trial and every citizen can afford
to wait until that time for the verdict
Helena Independent, 18th inst.
The Independent is mistaken in facts
and in its conclusions. In the first place
no mob violence was contemplated by
any one in Great Falls. No mob was
organized, no mob went to the Jail and
no mob asked for jew Jake. He was
and still is just as safe in the Jail in this
city as he would he If in the streets OF
Helena with no criminal charge resting
against him. The good name of Great
Falls remains untarnishcd by mob VIC
lence of any kind. The people of this
city have supreme confidence in their
courts and entertain no desire to act
outside of them. This much for the In
dependents assertion that Jew Jake was
in danger of mob violence.
A word now concerning Marshal Treat.
That gentleman is not only a city officer
but he is a deputy United States mar
shall, and also a deputy sheriff of Cascade
county. As a deputy sheriff he acted
inside his jurisdiction in quelling any
unlawful demonstrations upon the part
of jew Jake while on the train. lie
simply did his duty as a peace officer in
preventing a tight between Jake and
another party. He only did what any
man would do when he was attacked by
the offending party. lie defended him
self as best he could. If the parties sur
vivc the shooting, the whole matter will
be explained in the courts, and for this
reason the TRIBUNE refrains from en-
pressing any opinion that would preiu-
dice either side in the unfortunate
affair. We simply present facts. and the
TRIBUNE believes the Independent will
not only do the city JUST e in correcting
its misstatcmcnts concerning apprchcnd-
ed mob violence but will relieve Marshal
Treat from the imputation Of being
extra oilicious in his dealings with Jew
Jake.

FEST FOR

In an interview with a st. Louis Re
public reporter Senator Vest comes out
squarcly for Cleveland for the presiden-
cy. Although the senator is an ardent
friend of free silver coinage he opposes
making it an issue in the next preslden-
tial campaign, holding that tariff reform
should be placed to the front and the
fight made upon that and nothing else.
He favors Cleveland because he believes
in his courage, ability and honesty and
because he believes he can carry New
York, Indiana. Connecticut and New
Jersey on an out and out tariff reform
platform. He is stronger, says the
senator. in New York than ever before
while the people Of the whole country
have confidence in him. For the present
he would subordinate silver to tariff
reform, and take up the former when
the democrats have the power in both
branches of congress to effect the lcgisla-
ton demanded by the people. He
thinks that the success of the party de
ponds wholly upon a general and united
movement onward in AN aggressive cam
paign against the Mckinley atrocity. lie
abates nothing of his devotion to the
principle of free coinage but thinks the
time is not ripcto make it a party issue
in a national contest.
1t is within the range of probabilities
that silver will be eliminated from poll
tics. for a season at least. by the incom-
ing congress agreeing upon "A more lib
eral disposition of the metal than it is
now receiving. But that it will cease to
be a disturbing element and an issue
before the people of this country until it
be accorded free and unlimited coinage
no one believes. The question must be
met and decided by affirmative action by
congress, and we fail to see how a post
poncmcnt of its consideration and judg.
ment can be effected as long as a ma
jOrity of the people of the United States
favors immediate free coinage. 1t may
be policy to put silver in the background
for Il while. but the TRIBUNE doubts
whether the democratic party is ready
to accept Mr.. Vests views as its own.

INE wool

Harding Il Caverly wool report for the
18th inst. is at hand. Although the clip
of the present season has found its way
to eastern wool c%cntcrs. the condition Of
the market is not devoid of interest to
many, especially to those who have CO.
signed their wools to Boston firms. From
the report il is learned that the wool
market has passed through a compare
lively dull week ended at the date above
named as far as the business actually
transacted is concerned. The sales of
the week are only 2,21O.GOO lbs of all
kinds and are made up mostly of small
lots. Only two or three large sales have
been made. Manufacturers are not yet
prepared To buy in a large way. but, at
the same time, they are sounding the
market and several offers have been
made by large buyers on some large lines
of wool. As a rule, the prices offered
are considerably under the views held
by dealers. The latter are prepared to
shade prices slightly. but not TO the ex-
tent expected by manufacturers. The
market is. therefore. a waiting one. and
no material activity is expected for
several weeks to come.
Manufacturers are getting out their
samples of new heavyweight goods and
are buying such wool as they need to do
this and to complete what orders they
may have on hand. When the samples
are offered and orders solicited then the
situation can be better defined. Should
there be a good movement in goods the
demand for wool is sure to improve.
This is the outcome that is expected and
the trade generally look with confidence
on the future. In the meantime. how
ever, buyers can obtain a little advantage
in price, and notably on territory woods,
the demand for which has shown con
siderable falling off by reason Of the
large supplies taken by the large buyers
early in the season, the offerings arc
more liberal than previously. Fine
washed tieeces are dull and low in price
but no easier than last week. Foreign
advices are unchanged in tone and Aus
t%ralian wool is still selling here quite
freely.

ton of wealth-of individual wealth
How many railways and manufacturing
establishments and other great enter
prises would be seen in our land if the
maximum of individual wealth were re-
stricted to $4,000 or even $4,000? Very
few, and those OF insignificant proper
tons.
Wealth is not a failure when properly
employed. II may be made a curse or a
blessing to the people. That depends
upon its handling. But human laws
can not be framed to create an equal dis
tribution of wealth. That will be seen
only when the good Lord eliminates Gu
pidlty and a~varice or o%verweaning desire
for gain from the mental makeup OF
man. When that shall be done the mil
lennium will have come and man will be
fit for the other world. He will bc too
good for this.

THAT plenty makes chcapness is in no
instance more strikingly illustrated than
in the price of pure bred cattle. A few
years ago they sold in this country all the
way from 81 1000 to $4,000 each. A thor
ough-bred bull was cheap in Montana at
the first figures. Now pure brcds are sell
ing as low as $50 and now and then one
at much less figures. They are fast
taking the place of common cattle on
our ranges and bringing better prices at
Chicago. 1t pays to raise the best and
cattlcmen are working into them.

CONGRESSMAN MILLS of Texas is cred
tied with saying that if the democratic
party goes to the country next year on
the issue {" tariff reform alone il will
succeed because it is thoroughly united
on that question. If it press the issue Of
free coinage of silver, in his judgment, it
will lose every eastern state and gain
nothing in the west. 1t will lose the
presidency, the senate. the house, free
coinage, tariff reform and everything. If
this view of the situation be correct it
means that the people of the east are not
so well informed upon the silver question
as those of the west or that the former
are completely in the power or under the
control Of gold bugs. Why such a radi-
cal difference Of opinion should exist
between the people of the east and the
west upon free coinage cannot be cx.
planned upon any other hypothesis. But
Mr.. Mills may be mistaken in his dag
nosis Of the situation.

H WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 81. 1891.
4 LYING

The Helena Independent of the 10th
inst. contains a dispatch from some party
in this city which does Great Falls in
justice. The dispatch referred to an
nounce with considerable flourish that
a mob surrounded the Jail twice last Sun
day night aud demanded the person of
Jew Jake. who was incarceratcd therein
for shooting Marshal Treat and others.
There is no foundation in fact for the
story. No mob surrounded or APP
preached the jail and no demand was
made by anyone for jew Jake. The cit
liens of Great Falls are an orderly,
peaceful, law-abiding people and would
he the first to dcprccatc mob violence
under any circumstances. The dispatch
does such rank injustice to this city that
our citizens are justly indig-
nant over its publication. In
this connection the TRIBUNE
will say i regrets to see the leader lend
color to the accuracy of the report by
comments which infer that mob violence
was contemplated or seriously consider
ed. The good name of Great Falls-a
name which has never been furnished by
mob y~iolcnce-is too dear to our people
to permit it to be traduced by a sensa-
tional dispatch. without an earnest and
pronounced protest by them.

TUE full returns from the Iowa cleo
ton are a revelation to the observer Of
political events. in the first place they
show that the vote polled is the largest
ever cast in the state. In the second
they show that Boies gained $1,000 votes
over his vote of 1889 and 2S.000 over the
Cleveland vote of 1883. In the third
place they show that the democratic
party has advanced from 44.4S per cent
of the total vote in 1883 to 1903 per cent
of the total vote of 100000 cast the Sd
inst, and that the republican party has
fallen from J2.:3J in 1883 to I7.4O in 1891.
The causes which led to this marvellous
change in political sentiment in that
state still exist and will be felt ard will
show themselves next year. Iowa has
donned democratic robes to wear in the
future.

stumble a little over Massachusetts,
more over Iowa and fall down ovcr New

years too late to play successfully the

vanccd too far in the light of freedom to
accept the despotism President Fonseca
seemingly desires to exercise. His order
suspcnding all the newspapers at Rio
