LEVEL HEADED GERMANS.

\ German usually has a pretty level
head. 1t is a characteristic of the ma
ton. II you ever see the Germans begin
to desert a ship in mid. ocean it will be
the part of wisdom to go along with
them, for the fate of the vessel is sealed,
and the mex you will hear from her will
be by the way of Davy Jones locker.
The Germans are deserving the old
republican hulk by thousands. Most of
the leading German papers Of the u
try have come out squarely against the
reelection of Harrison, and such is the
extent of this detection that e%xtraordin-
AIRY measures are being taken in such
states as Illinois, where there is Il large
German vote, to retain the support Of
some portion of these people. A special
despatch from Chicago recently sent to
the n. Y. Stats .Zeitung, gives a very
clear idea as to the feeling there, and
the desperate efforts being made by the
g. o. p. The despatch says:
The republican state central committee has
sent II letter to ever prominent German ,Ameri-
can republican in the country urging him to
come to Illinois and take the stump, asserting
that unless that is done the Germans will desert
the republican party almost en- mHsse. The in
form alton from the counties having large Ger
man populations is so dishcartening and 80

Tuus far it seems that the cholera has
not landed on American soil and every
effort is being made to prevent it from
coming ashore. As this terrible malady
is rightly called the filth disease" it is
devoutly to be wished that none OF the
dirty quarters OF the Atlantic or Pacific
seaboard may be subjected to it's ravages.
We of the high mountain regions can
look on with a good deal Of complacency
as we are fairly safe, but it makes one
shudder to think Of the horrors that
might arise from the introduction OF the
scourge in the large cities.

ECHOES OF THE CONVENTIONS.

In a short morning session yesterday
the Republican Convention completed
its business, and a great many OF the
delegates started for their homes in the
course of the day. 1t was evidently a
surprise to the convention to find that
Ransom Cooper of Great Falls would not
accept the nomination that was given
him the evening previous, for Attorney
Geucrai. Mr.. Cooper's friends urged him
with all their ~elOquence to accept, but
the gentleman offered several EXCUSES,
among which were that he did not wish
to change his place of residence, and
that the office did not have any attrac-
tions for him. 1t is shrewdly suspected.
however. that Mr.. Cooper's real reason
for declining is based upon a very fore
able p%remonition that there will be no
Republican Attorney General elected
in Montana this year. Mr.. Cooper is
nothing il not s%agacious and his head
was decidedly level in keeping out OF
the Republican boat, which is certain to
be swamped on election day.

When the convention came to make
up the jewels for presidential electors.
that ardent republican and intelligent
gentleman the Honorable Nicholas
Bielenberg OF Deer Lodge, was rendered
a place on the ticket which he promptly
declined. 1t will be remembered thai
Mr.. Bielenberg was one OF the Republl
can delegates from Montana at Mime
apolis, and as he knew that the delega
ton had peer instructed to vote for Mr.
Blaine, he refused absolutely to get OF

Rough on Blake.

In spite of the vigorous protest of Re
publican lawyers, Judge Blake was put
on the Republican state ticket. He is
the one candidate of all others on "A
siLgularly weak ticket whom it will be
easy to beat. A man who does not en-
joy the respect or the confidence of Re
publican members of the bar in Mon
tana ought certainly not to be a good
candidate on the Republican ticket for
the Office of chief justice.-Anaconda

ATTENTION, SISTER CITIES.

Great Falls sends greeting to her sister
cities of the state and says to them,
"Come, let US reason together" about
the question Of locating the permanent
capital.
On one thing we are all agreed, name
ly, that what appears best for the state
is the thing to be done. Take the map
Of the state, then, and look it over care
fully with an eye single to the states
best interests for all time to ONT. Con-
slider we'll the character and products of
the country surrounding each Of the
cities that are candidates for the capital,
the geographical position of each with
respect to the rest of the state, and bear
in mind throughout the investigation
that this question should be settled with
due reference to conditions which are
now in course of evolution and which
may be lost sight of by the careless OBJ
server.
Any candid person will admit that the
limit of growth has been reached by
most of the cities that have filed their
nomination, and that Great Falls stands
alone as the one city whose magnitude
zone can ~foresee, whose future surpasses
anything IN the way of city building
that the widest imagination can con-
jure up. But while it is not absolutely
essential that the capital shall be located
in the largest commercial city, the ad-
vantages of having it s o placed are obvi-
Gus to everybody.
At the present time the largest num-
Der of representatives come from sec
tons of the state which will have the
smallest number as the mines of these
sections are worked out, and while that
is IN process there will be an enormous
growth of population in the fertile
regions lying east, south and north OF
Great Falls. These are the regions
which will be ultimately most gNterested
in the situation of the capita, Of the
state. These will be the cemtrrs OF
teeming population. and for all fl them
Great Falls will he the point Of supply
and departure.
To make a f%ar-sighted selection now
is to provide against a possible
division of the state at "A later period, a
contingency which is almost certain to
arise if the official seat is located zoo far
west at this time. Mining camps as pro
ductive as any in the western part OF
the state will soon be developed to the
eastward of Great Falls; the great i'm
migration which will come this way after
the Worlds fair will settle on the fertile
lands that are tributary to the city; the
hocks and herds that now feed on the
vast ranges near the city are increasing
each year, and when the country ttey
occupy is settled by a thriving race OF
busy and prosperous men they will Still
find new pastures in regions more remote
There is "a very large class of citi
zens in Montana that appreciates the
fact that Great Falls is IA free white la
Dor center, and that it will not permit
the Chinese to gain a foothold within it
boundaries. Asst is the only city in th'
state that has successfully taken THU
stand there are thousands Of voters wht
will support it for this reason alone.
Sister cities. here's to you, Trot on
your claims and admit. when all is sale
and done. that Great Falls holds Tn
palm Of merit.

Royal Baking Powder
Has no Equal.

The Royal Baking Powder will make sweeter, lighter, fner-favored
and more wholesome bread, biscuit, and cake than any other leavcning
agent. 1T IS of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and
Is more economical. All government and scientific tests 90 to show
this. Royal Baking Powder a IS a leavening agent is absolutely without
an equal.
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
As the result Of my tests I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in
every respect. It is entirely free from all
adulteration and unwholesome impurity, and
in baking it gives off a greater volume Of leav-
ening gas than any other powder. It is there.
fore not only the purest, but also the strongest
powder with which I am acquainted.

gusted Mr.. Bielenberg that he metap.
horically denounced them as traitors
and refused all overtures which were
made to induce him to change his views.
The conduct Of the Montana delegation
at Minneapolis still rankles in Mr.. Bel
cnberg's breast, and he sarcastically re-
minded the convention yesterday that
''if they wanted to make sure of their
presidential electors voting for Harrison,
it might be a good idea to instruct them
to vote for Cleveland" or course the
convention intended to chose electors
who are certain to vote for Harrison, but
if B~ielenberg's fears are we'll founded
there is really considerable doubt on
this point. 1t Is thought, however,
that the three men chosen are pretty
safe TO carry out their instructions in
the Electoral College. Mayor Hall of
Walkerville will undoubtedly vote
straight for Harrison, while Nj. Stevens
and Col. Malone may be depended on
with equal certainty.

Attorney General Haskell probably
did not feel very exuberant over the
emergency use made Of him by the con
~vention yesterday, as it was a ground
hog case" Mr.. Cooper would not serve
and there was no one except Mr.. Haskell
who was willing TO accept the nomina
ton. Mr.. Haskell took Mr.. Cooper's re-
fusal good naturedly and accepted the
nomination with thanks. He hardly cX-
poets d reelection, though he will do
his best to obtain it. and from u CONVEX.
sation heard by a TRIBUNE man in the
corridor of the Park hotel when the del.
egates were leaving, it is very clear that
few of them regard Mr. lIaskell's re
election as even "A possibility. In fact
there are many evidences that the dele
gates felt weary and uncertain, but their
WEAKNESS now is not a patch to the
tired feeling that will consume item
early in November. Mr.. Haskell and the
other renominees should make their ar
rangements to move from the temporary
capital on or about the Sth day of No
vember.

Many Of the delegates as they were
waiting for the train at the Great North
ern station remarked on the beauty Of
the scene along the river bank, and the
Hon. l.. II. IIershtield said that the lay
ing out of a park and identifying Of the
grounds in that neighborhood indicated
that Great Falls had been planned by a
gentleman of exquisite refinement and
good taste. The people of Great Falls
are aware Of the truth of this remark.

In selecting Lee Mantle for the chair
manship of the state committee the re-
publicans have shown a good deal OF
wisdom, as he is young and energetic
and is sure for his own sake to work
faithfully for the success of his party.
Ex-Gov. White deserves a rest. He has
been in harness a long time and is
reaching that stage of existence when
men should become somewhat petrified
in their ideas and fossilized in their
judgments. With Mr.. Mantle at the
helm the decrepit old party may be able
to make some sort of showing in the
campaign, but it is practically certain
that the intention of the committee in
placing Mr.. Mantle in this position is to
shelve him, and SO make further prefer
ment for HIM essentially out of the ques-
ton for the next two years. The selection
of Thomas Cummings Of Fort Benton
for the position of secretary Of the com
mittee will be gratifying to the republic
ans of the northern part of the state. and
will probably satisfy even W. Gould
Smith. the great Blaine crank Of Fort
Benton.

which took place on the porch of the
Park hotel yesterday morning. when this

THE CHoIERA,-Dr. c. w, Chancel-
lor, formerly of this city, in paper on
the cholera, says: =,
''The North American continent has
suffered from five epidemics of cholera
the first in 1892, the second in 1919,
the third in 1854, the fourth in 1866,
and the fifth in 1878. In July, 1851,
the disease spread to Alexandria: In
Alexandria, where the writer OF this
was ct the time health officer, the first
cases occurred among factory opera
tives, living in filthy tenement houses.
The most careful inquiries instituted at
the time failed to discover an imported
origin. The disease appeared to deVel-
op spontaneously, or, rather, there was
an epidemic constitution of the atmos-
phere, which gave life to the disease
when conjoined with wretched sanitary
conditions. 1t has been quite well es-
tablished that cholera belongs not to
the class of contagious, but OF epidemic
diseases and is not, therefore, readily
communicated from one person to an
other.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE MEETING
The committee on the project for free
public library and reading room met
last night at the school board ROOM and
organized by the election of Mr.. John
r. Zimmerman rs chairman. Although
the attendance was small twas deter
mined not to abandon the project. Mr..
Zimmerman urged the addition ola ref
erence library to the books now in the
Alexandria library. He said that such
an addition would not cost much and
would be invaluable to the teachers and
the public generally. Librarian Spot
ford at the Capitol, with whom he had
spoken on the subject, had warmly adj
yised the adoption of the plan as one
specially valuable to smaller cities
where extensive libraries could not be
obtained. Mr. Spofford had rendered
his aid in the matter, and he thought
the establishment of such q library
would not require very large sum.
Mr.. VIM. I. Carne suggested that tthe
library rooms, warmed and lighted,
could be kept open this winter in con
nection with the old library and the
reference library, it would attract young
men who had now no wholesome resort,
and would tend greatly TO raise the
moral tone of the community. Mr..
Robert Aitchesou concurred in support
ing the plan for opening the library,
and the committee adjourned to assem-
bic again at the call of the chairman.
