THE WEATlIIck
DECIDE IT NOW.

The voters OF Montana are able 10 oe-
eide the capital question for themselves
without having ''boom' arguments OF
mbitious towns ceaselessly dinned IN
their oars or giving thought to baseiess
preiudices and %jealousies, There Is only
one thing they should continually bear
in mind and that is the Importance or
settling the question once for all TINS
year. Every interest Of the state de-
mands it. All the state institutions
should be located at once. Our great
university should be established n
engaged IN the higher education OF Il
young men and women who now go
abroad; the agricultural school should
be under way and in receipt OF the slS,-
900 a year from the government fund
which it is losing by delay; the school
Of mines should be preparing our boys
for the development of the untold wealth
OF the Treasure state; and all the vari-
GUS charitable and benevolent institu-
tions should be serving their beneticent
purposes in the near future.
An indecisive vote or the capital
question this year would near two or
more years of delay in all these things;
it would mean the loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the people of the
state, the retarding of our growth as a
commonwealth, the %stagnation OF enter
prise in many a community which would
derive immediate and direct benefit from
securing public institutions. 1t does
not matter so much where the capital
goes as that it's location should be de-
termined this fall. Every interest of all
ellis demands that the question be
now, onc and for all. We make
plea for Helena. We speak for the
interest of all Montana.

We gave space yesterday to a card
from ladies of the w. G. T. U. urging
immediate action on the city council in
the matter of closing the disreputable
houses on Clore street. In another
communication this morning a lady adj
vocates the removal OF ali such places in
this and other streets outside OF the city
limits. This latter plan, it strikes lis, is
open to serious objection. Suburban
residents would s%trenuously protest for
one thing, and very justly, too; but the
weight,est objection would be to the re-
moval of such places beyond police sur
ve%iliance. Outside Of the city limits
there would be nc check to lawlessness,
crime and violence. and the evil would
grow and wax worse. 1t is an evil, as
experience teaches, that can be re-
pressed, but not suppressed. In the
best governed cities such places are
strictly confined to certain limited dis
tricts, in well-lighted streets, where
police supervision is constant and effec-
tive. That's as far as human wisdom
has yet attained in graphing with this
problem. 1t is a question here in Hell
ena as to the particular quarter OF the
city to be given over to this class of
places. but as the evil is one that is due
to the existence of Helena, it is but fair
we should deal with it right here, and
not drive it over the line for our rural
friends to wrestle with.

Gov. MCKINLEY is now u%pholding the
report of the senate finance committee
which attempts to demonstrate that a
high tariff makes things cheaper. We
notice that when the governor gets out
among the farmers he does not carry
this line OF argument to it's logical con-
cluslon. He should tell them that a
high tariff also cheapens the price OF
wool. John Sherman made this clear as
long & as 1883 when he said in a speech
in the United States senate:
In the table which l have now before me
it is shown that in 1867 the price OF wool
was 81 cents a pound. in 1870 it WAS 46 cents
a pound, in 1875 1t WAS 43 cents a pound, in
1880, which was an abnormal year. 48 cent?
a pound, but to-day l am told these woolt
are sold in Ohio at from 36 to 40 cents
pound. So the result of the policy of pro-
tectinR the wool growers has been, as it is
in all industries. to gradually reduce the
price.
Why doesn't the Ohio governor dea]
with the wool grower with equal frank
ness:

The Michigan Legislature in special
session has agreed upon a new legisla-
tive apportionment that is satisfactory
to all parties and conforms to the recent
decision of the supreme court, which
held the previous apportionment uncon-
st!tutioEal. The impression that the
decision OF the court overturned the law
providing for the choice Of presidential
electors by congressional districts is er-
roneous That law still stands. Nor is
there any ground for the hurrah Of the
republican press over the fact that the
court rebuked an unfair democratic ap-
p~ortionment. The court also held the
republican superintendent Of 1855 I'M
constitutional. One of the Judges de-
clared that "for many years the appor.
tionmonts made by republican legisla-
lures have been thoroughly partisan
and inconsistent with the direct language
Of the constitution" AS the New York
Times truthfully says, the democrats
simply followed bad presidents.

City Government Not a Political Problem.
Prof. James Bryce declared. in his
"American Commonwealth" that the
weakest place in the political system of the
United States was municipal government:
that the federal government and tho state
governments had carried out the purpose
for which they were established fairly we'll,
but that the gravest problems which had
been encountered in the republic thu far
were the problems that grew out of the
government of municipalities. The Forum
has begun the publication of Il series of ar
ticles on American municipal government
which shall set forth the results of original
investigation and of interesting cxperi-
ments in all the principal cities of the
union. In the August number Mr.. Frank
Morlson, OF Boston, makes an interesting
diagnosis of the fundamental difficulty. A
CITY. he maintains, is not only technically.
but is logically a corporation, and not a
political community. Politically every
resident of Il city Is u resident of the county
and of the state and of the nation in turn,
but 80 far as the CITY is concerned he ia
simply Il member Of a corporation. and the
business of the city government
IN CoFpOIhte business ana not
political business. The problem ia to pave
streets, to supply water, to protect public
life and such tasks as these, az we'll az
police duty. Now. the management of a
corporation is always put into the hands of
men who have an interest at stake. In the
same way, Mr.. Morrison argues, the main
t~enance of a city ought to be put into the
hands Of men who have something at
stake, viz, property LoldeIs. As a matter
of fact, however, he shows by an analysis
of the common council of Boston land the
same is true Of most of our American
cities) the men who have municipal GOV
eminent in hand are men who have no
stake in the city; that is to say, are not
taxpayers ut all. 1t is along the line of this
analysis that Mr.. Morrison would attack tho
problem of municipal misqovernment, and
he would so have the affairs of a city con-
Quoted as to make sure that men who have
the power to spend money for the munich
pal corporation should be men who are
themselves interested in the corporation
a view that is sure to provoke sharp com
ment. but which is certainly worthy of
serious consideration.

or 40, OOO, 600 bushels Of wheat moro than we
ever exported before In \ single year, one
may hardly refer TO chr 80 called sxcsss

Of general tt ade.
l'he value OF exports OF cav cotton IN 1892
amounted to $25S, Al, 74l, which, owing to
the fall in price. was *Hoa. 265, l57 less than
during the year 1901, In which WAS the lasc-
est value of nnual exports OF this produces
III the history Of our commerce. The guam
tity of the exports Of this product last year
was, however. a.984. 7la,Sll pounds. the
largest whipped ous Of the country in any
one fiscal year in the history OF such exports.
It will be observed that there 10 q small de-
crease in the value Of the exports Of provi-
siois, but a largo increase in the value Of az
rorts Of breadstutfs Of $173, 706, 94b over such
exports in 1891; also an increase in the value
of cattle. sheep and hogs of $aS01, 800. The
total value Of the exports OF the fvc leading
products during 1892 was SITS, 124, 237. or
$137, a92, 400 in excess of the same exports in
1891.
81 The foregoing seems to indicate, there
fore, that one result OF foreign trade dur
ing the previous tscal year has been a
smaller volume Of importations Of some Of
the articles which II may be fair to assume
recent national legislation was designed to
bring about. and that another result ID that
a larger volume in point Of value of exports
happens as the result of unforeseen and I'M
comfortable cireumstances-~unexpectedly
large breaastutf crops at home in the face
of poor crops in Europe. Without the lat
ter element both our exports and imports
would have been smaller in value than in
1a90-91.
This completely disposes of the claim
that the Mckinley law has increased
our foreign trade.
