THE Washington correspondent of the
Butte Miner says: 1T is generally con-
ceded that all possibility Of usefulness
for Power in Washington is completely
destroyed. and the people and the legis-
lature should demand his resignation"
That is about the size Of the situation.
n no other reason existed for calling an
extra session of the legislature than to
give the people of Montana, through
their representatives in that body, an
opportunity to demand Mr.. Powers re-
signation, Governor Toole would be JUS
titled in calling it. Mr.. Power should
resign his ill gotten seat in the senate
and leave Washington forever.

H WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
SATURDAY. JANUARY 30. 1892.

No discussion Of the capital question
can be had without Great Falls entering
into it as a very prominent factor. And
the more the question is agitated. and
written and spoken about the more
prominent Great Falls becomes. This is
due to the fact that as the merits of the
several candidates for the honor are
passed into review the claims of Great
Falls are forced into prominence, and as
sumo an importance, by comparison,
which attracts general attention. The
TRIBUNE has expressed the belief. and
now reiterates it, that if the election for
the permanent capital were postponed
for five years, Great Falls would literally
have a walk over for it.
The Capitalization of the principal
smelling, refining and manufacturing
Industries of the state at Great Falls; its
large and rapidly increasing population;
the vast increase in the population of its
numerous tributary mining and agricul-
tural ccnters; the impetus which the
DullulllS Ol one IL uOl t"o tidiiStouti
mental railways into the city will give it,
and the acknowledged fact that Great
Falls will become the center of popula-
ton of the state within the next decade
will become SO apparent. if not verified,
that by common consent the capital will
be given to it. This is no idle boast, for
the statement is warranted in the light
Of the present. 4 few short years ago
the ground upon which Great Falls
stands was almost a stranger to the
presence of white man. Today it fur
nishes homes for 5000 souls, and IA be-
ginning only is made. The most san
guine will fall far short of measuring the
possibilities of the city during the next
half decade. He can. however. in cast
ing his horoscope, discern the capital of
Montana on the banks of Broadwater
Bay.

The stock outlook for northern Mon
tana, and, indeed, for the whole state,
was never so hattering in January as it
is today. There has not been a day in
the winter thus far that sheep have not
enjoyed their daily run on grass and re-
turned to their sheds at night with a
sense Of f~ullness and rlenty within them.
Cattle and horses have found excellent
feed upon the ranges. II this weather
continue and the absence OF sno be as
marked during the next two months as
it has been during the last two, stock
will come out Of their winter quarters in
as good condition as they went in and
losses will be nominal.

The English of Revolutionary days had
no reason to love the name of Paul Jones.
Indeed he was hated as much as he was
feared, and the writers of that day affected
to sneer at the gallant American sailor as
"a renegade and rebcllious Scotchman."
Even up to this time. when Americans
are about to erect "a too long deferred mon.
ument to his memory, English writers
picture Paul Jones as u bearded pirate,
with savage face, II desperate eye and II
big belt stuck full of pistols.
A recent English writer has, however.
done manly justice to the memory of our
young naval hero of Revolutionary days.
In a fair review of the life Of Paul Jones
this writer tells a story which is as new rs
it is quaint.
During his explorations in British waters
Commodore Jones, with his two vessels,
one Of them captured from the enemy.
went around to the Firth Of Forth, and
the sight Of his white sails created the
greatest CONSERVATION in the town of Kirk
caldy and spread terror among tho people
of Fifeshirc.
While the people crowded the shore,
watching the dreaded ships, an eccentric
old Presbyterian minister came pushing
through the crowd, carrying an old arm
chair, which he jammed down in the Sands
close to low water mark, the tides com
ing in.

impressed by the old dominle's manner,
the people forgot their dread of the ships
in their curiosity as to what he would do
next.
Closing his eyes and raising his hands to
the sky the preacher began to pray after
this fashion in a loud and fervent voice:
"Dinna send, o Lord, this vile pirate to
strip the puir folk o. Kirkcaldy, for We ken
they are a puir enough an haze nathing to
spare.
'The puir women are maist frightened
DOT o their wits, an if yell but listen We
kin hear the BARNS shrieking after them.
He'll be here in jiffy, and wha kens

wind changed and the dreaded Paul Jones
disappeared from the Fifcshire coast.

[C:opy, tight, 1882, by American Press Associe-

He called himself Pedro Chalcns, but

think, however, that it was assumed. He
died n few days ago, and therefore ! feel

owed my first acquaintance to this re-
markable man to casual introduction
which common friend gave us one morn
ing rs we were waiting in the postoffice for
the mail to be distributed. then noticed
a dark yellow metallic appearance about
his face and mentioned it to my friend as
we walked away with our letters.
"Ah' he answered; ''then you did no
tice it? That man, my dear fellow ears
q brass mask-wears it continually"
Iexpressed a very decided doubt as to
the truth of this statement
1T is fact" said my friend sol"nnly;
"the mask is so nicely fitted to his face
that you must look very closely to detect
the line of jointure. And it is so ingen-
iously constructed with springs and hinges
that it does not give him the least trouble
in eating or in talking"
"But why does he wear it?" said I, still
incredulous. Are his features so hideous
that he dare not show thcm?"
ION the contrary" said my friend, "they
are surprisingly beautiful. I suppose we
have few models, even in the loftiest con-
ception of art, that can at all compare
with them"

SNOW, TAKE OFF YOUR MASK"

"NOw, TAKE OFF YOUR MASK"
My friend hesitated and finally said that
he could not just then call to mind any
one who had actually seen it, or how such
an impression could have prevailed among
the few friends of the man with the braxen
mask.
One Sunday went into strange church
at the other end Of the town. The usher
gave me seat directly behind man with
peculiar yellow hair, whom soon discov-
cred to be the remarkable man with the
mask. ! guessed the whole plot of the
sermon from beginning to end, and spent
my time in a critical examination of this
mysterious person.
I had every opportunity for close in
spection, but failed to detect the faimtest
trace of any line between the mask and
the flesh. I concluded that the false COW
ering extended FAR enough up for the join
ing line to he hidden in his hair. just as
had reached this conclusion a puff of air
agitated his hair and l saw to the roots,
and to my amazement the hairs appeared
TO grow directly out of the mask.
The man sang. and when he joined in
the hymn it sounded as If his throat and
lungs were brass also.

but no one seemed to know what his bust
ness was or where he lived or who his rel
atives were if he had any.
One scene in which the man with the
brazen mask was u principal actor comes
wildly back to me after the lapse of gears.
Twas out fishing one beautiful June day,
and had anchored my boat under shelly
ing rock which was curtained by dense
mass OF foliage. ! was dreaming rather
than fishing. when my meditations were
broken into by the sound of voices directly
overhead.
soon discovered that the speakers were
man and woman, and though their voices
were low it was evident that they were
very much in earnest.
The woman said:
snow, take off your mask, and if you
love me let me see your real features"
The man in the brazen mask was silent
The woman repeated the request earnestly,
and knew by u sound in the leaves that
she was making an attempt TO pull the
mask off.
Lola" said the man soTemnly, 81 have
no mask. You see me as ! am"
The girl laughed merrily and seemed to
be making another attempt to remove the
mask.
Meanwhile l had climbed up the bank
and could now see them through leafy
covert.
my dear Lola" said the man as be
warded off her hands, Il tell you the solemn
TRUTH wear no mask"
The girl looked at him in amazement.
His face or mask was much paler than
usual, but still had the brassy glow.
''Then," said the girl, after a pause, 81
cannot wear your ring" And she drew it
from her finger and handed it to him.
He received it on his forefinger, and
with twirl Of his thumb sent it over his
shoulder into the water.
"Let us CO." she said, rising.
"First, said the man, promise me that
you will not reveal what have just told
you"
II promise, /" she replied.
