The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-05-14

The Inter Mountain is decidedly at
fault in it's statement that there must
have been a Kilkenny cat fight at Great
Falls last Tuesday. 1t is still more
faulty in its assertion that Tim Collins,
chairman of the democratic central com
mittee, said there should be but n con-
vention." The TRIBUNE has it upon the
best of authority that Mr.. Collins said
nothing of the kind. The TRIBUNE fav-
ored the one convention proposition but
that fact does not imply that Mr.. Collins
said there should be but one conven.
ton" The Inter Mountain is prone to
be reckless in it's statements.

The Chinese exclusion bill as signed
by the president is the re-enactment of
the old restrictive law, with the following
addition: No Chinese is to be released on
bail pending an action IN a writ of
habeas corpus. All Chinese laborers
now in the United States must obtain
registered certificates, and all persons
other than laborers may apply for such
certificates, for which no charge will be
made. All Chinese who unlawfully at
tempt to come into the country will be
imprisoned one year and then be re-
manded to China. The law will be in
force ten years.

AND nov comes a story all the way
from Washington that Tom Carter. 'our
Tom"-the smooth, the sleek. the oily,
the oleaginous Tommy, is mixed up as
principal in a matter which is as scan
dalous as it is astonishing. In a word
the story or rumor is an impeachment of
his integrity as land commissioner. 1t
is said the matter has been prematurely
sprung as it was not intended to use it
until he commenced working for San
ders' shoes. The TRIBUNE can hardly
believe the unctuous Tommy has been
caught in a trap of his own setting. He
is too sly and cunning for that.

Information from Bogota, Colombia,
is to the effect that the first remittance
of the new silver coin made for Colombia
at Birmingham, England, for the pur-
pose of redeeming the notes Of the
National bank of that republic had been
received at ~Barranquilla and forwarded
from there to the capital. This first in
stallment, which amounts to $24O,0 900, is
TO be followed by others every fifteen

extreme views upon silver coinage, the
democratic party could not hope to gain
a single n of the republican states OF
the northwest, and ''would surely rick
the loss of such states as West Virginia,
Virginia and North Carolina" He holds
that a respectable democratic minority
opposes Cleveland in Connecticut. New
Jersey, and Indiana and believes that he
would lose all of them.
The TRIBUNE gives space to Mr.. Wat
terson's views, not because it endorses a
single one of them. or that it believes
Mr.. Cleveland would be defeated if nomi-
mated. but it gives them as it would
publish those of any other distinguished
and influential politician upon so grave a
question, as a matter of interest to the
general public. The TRIBUNE is of the
opinion that the Courier-Journal will
support Mr.. Cleveland, if he be nominal
ed, rs heartily as the TRIBUNE will if
the Chicago convention, in its wisdom,
see tit to make hime the standard bearer
of the democratic party in the ensuing
presidential campaign. Mr.. Watterson
opposes Cleveland's nomination on the
grounds of policy and availability. Men
may differ upon those matters and then
work tremendously together when nomi-
nations be made. The TRIBUNE pro-
poses to support the Chicago nominee.

The police have their hands full just now
unraveling the mystery surrounding the.
death of William J. Dunneback, the We'll
known proprietor of a restaurant at 1873 LIZ
East Third street. who died at the city
hospital Wednesday evening. The police
claim to have strong evidence that a mur-
der has been committed under circum-
stances so extraordinary as to stamp it one
of the most remarkable crimes ever commit
ted in ST. Paul. #
Alice Ballard and Charles Bazille are
locked up at the county Jail on the charge
of numbering William J. Dunneback on the
night of Nov. l, 1892. 1t is alleged that
they enticed the murdered man to the
rooms of Mrs. Ballard. in the uabighorst
block. and after kicking and beating him
to insensibility, threw him down the stairs
into the street, where he was found by a
friend and taken to the rooms over the
restaurant which Dunnehack conducted at
1S3 1-2 East Third street. The woman then
secured place in the bedroom Of the in
jured man. and it is alleged that under the
pretense of nursing him she made his con-
dition worse by removing the bandages
which had been placed on him and pre-
venting the healing of the wounds and
fractures. which eventually caused his
death "Wednesday evening at II o'clock.
