COVENTRY.

 A. s. PARKER, Local Editor and Business Man
 ager of Coventry Local Register.
 After an absence of many years MT. and Mrs. Ralph Crittenden came to town Monday.
 Schools in Dists. and reopen next Monday. Each school in this parish re- tains the teacher of last year, an unusual provision.
 The work of shingling the Methodist parsonage is being done.
 The grange meeting next Monday evening is to be in charge of the commit tee on woman's work. If pleasant, there will be visitors, and "harvest feast" will be spread.
 "A. A. Haling is selling nursery stock in this town and vicinity.
 People about town have discovered the pleasure of driving, and all kinds of vehicles are seen on the road.
 The best news ever reported, whether true or false, we do not know, is that G. L. Phillips retired from the town agency Sept. 1st. It is not the best way for the future of young men to have intoxicants sold in places where they are employed, and the saying "Better boys than those of G. l.. Phillips never lived in town," we hope and expect will be the verdict when they become men.

THE CAPITAL pi EsTION,

Amid the excitement incidental to a
presidential campaign, sight must not be
lost of the fact that a vote will BE- taken
next November upon the question of the
permanent location of the capital of the
state. Great Falls is the first to an
nOunce itself as a candidate for the hon.
or and the TRIBUNE has frequently pre-
sented It's advantages in a series of arti-
Giles the truthfulness Of which has not
been questioned. Helena has had moth
ing to say about the matter and the PEG
pie are led to believe that city is out of
the race altogether, being content with
the capture of the military post for the
state. Bozeman and Butte and Deer
Lodge have incidentally mentioned they
are in the race, but the seriousness of
either may well he questioned when
viewed in the light of their claims to the
position.
The apathy or Indifference OF the
places named doubtless proceed from the
conviction that Great Falls, by virtue of
its centrally. accessibility, h%ealthful-
ness. beauty of location, immediate and
surrounding resources, bountiful water
supply. %cheapness and abundance of fuel
and building material. is promise of be-
coming the financial, commercial, indus
trial, manufacturing. educational and
railroad center Of the state. and
its eminent advantages in other
directions. is the only city in
Montana where, in justice to the people
and the interests of the commonwealth.
the capital should be located. 1t is but
natural that the places noted should
entertain this opinion. For if there is a
place upon this world OF ours which an
all-wise Providence has endowed with all
those attributes that unite to make up a
most desirable location for the seat of
government of a great state. that place is
Great Falls.
All that is necessary for the voters of
Montana to entertain a like opinion upon
this question is a study of the location,
the resources and the other advantages
above named which Great Falls presents
as a site for the permanent capital. A
visit to the city will convince the most
skeptical OF it's eminent fitness for
capitalistic honors. AS this, however, is
impossible for all to attempt, a glance at
the map of Montana and IA study of the
topography and resources OF this section
of the state will do much toward
enabling voters to decide intelligently
the capital question. Great Falls is
content to abide by the decision thus
formed.

THE meeting of the Montana Press
Association at Anaconda has been post
poned until October, the date TO be fixed
by the executive committee. The meet
ing was to take place the 18th
inst, but the mining congress at Helena
will commence on that date and as many
newspaper men Of the state desire to be
present it was thought best to postpone
the association meeting to a later day.
But the TRIBUNE thinks August would
be a better month than October. The
campaign will be at its height. in Octo-
Der and editors will have little time to
devote to social reunions during that
time. II the meeting must be postponed
until after August it should be postponed
until after the election.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

The election of Cleveland would
doubtless be followed by a democratic
senate. While this is not assured it may
be assumed without violence to proba
billties that such would be the result.
1t will not take much of a change to
bring this about. The senate at present
stands: democrats, 80; republicans. Al;
alliance, y. The election OF five demo
Gratis in the place of five republicans
would give the democrats a majority
over the republicans. The election of
four democrats in the place of the same
number of republicans would, with the
alliance vote. give the democrats control
Of the senate.
The terms Of eleven democrats and
eighteen republicans expire next March.
The eleven democratic senators will be
succeeded by democrats, while eight of
the states which will elect senators the
ensuing winter will probably return
republicans. This will leave ten senators
in doubt. They will be chosen from
Montana. North Dakota. Minnesota,
Massachusetts. California. Connecticut.
New York. Wisconsin. Nevada and
Michigan. Montana will elect a demo-
crat in place Of Sanders. who holds a
seat in that body by virtue of the
greatest fraud ever practiced upon a
free people. 1t is a disgrace to the state
that either he or Power is permitted to
represent this young state. A democrat
must succeed Sanders and Power must
be kicked out of his stolen seat as soon
as possible.
New York will elect a democrat in
place of Hiscock and Wisconsin is equal
~ certain to shelve Sawyer and send
another democrat to that body. Michi-
gan has a democratic legislature. With
good work the democrats can carry the
one this fall and that would mean
a democratic senator from that state.
Russell may conclude to take Dawes
seat from Massachusetts. while Boies
may 60 to the senate from Iowa if he
wants to. The alliance men may play
havoc with republican calculations in
Minnesota and California is always good
lighting ground for democrats.
On the whole the prospects for wrest-
ing the senate from the control of the re-
publlcans is cheering in the extreme.
The alliance and peoples parties will
never act with the republicans. They
are Numerically opposed to each other
On the tariff and silver questions and by
compromise can they unite as against
the democratic party. The republican
are decimated in Iowa, Minnesota.
Kansas. Nebraska and the Dakotas by
opposing parties outside the democratic
organization. They are weakened and
are in no condition to win this year or
hereafter. Therefore we say a victory
Tor Cleveland means democratic control

As long as we sell to them more than we

And why should this great, big. grow

Great Britain as the arbiter of its none

tie crowded country with 100000 souls.
The whole United Kingdom could be set

room enough for a couple of states the
size of New Jersey. And yet our gold
bugs tell us we must not remonetize
silver because it would ruin our trade
with that little balliwick across the wa
ter. and at the same time these identical
gold bugs are spending their money to
maintain "a tariff which shuts out about
all the manufactures of that country.
And. continues the Pioneer Press. free
coinage would degrade the money of
the country to the silver standard"
"Degrade" is a ~favorite word with gold
bugs when speaking of silver. Their
contempt for and hatred of the metal
are expressed bv it. For eighty years
silver was the measure OF values in this
country. In the language of the street.
gold wasn't in it," Silver was at a
premium of ) per cent when gold bugs
it 10y fraud. Then it was
''degraded" from its office as the unit of
value and its place was taken by gold.
The efforts of silver men have been di-
toward restoring the white metal
to its original position. Gold bugs
have opposed them and subsidized
like the Pioneer Press. have aided
the opposition in its work OF "degrading
silver"
The Pioneer Press. however. feels AS
that the senate silver bill will not
alaw. Upon this point it says:
But in any event, whatever congress
nay do. the republic has a sheet anchor

lent Harrison upon this question. Even
