CONGRATULATIONS

We congratulate the Great Falls
TRIBUNE on having secured for it's ed
itor and general manager 8 accomplish
ed a journalist and gentleman as Mr.. j..
A. Macknight; and we congratulate Mr..
MacKnight on becoming identified with
one of the most promising newspaper
properties in Montana. AS editor of the
Helena journal for a period Of several
months Mr.. MacKnight gave strength
and vigor to that newspapers editorial
discussions and brightness to its news
columns. We believe it is no secret
that for some time he did not find him
self in sympathy with the policy of the
republican party, and since his retire
ment he has declared himself in favor of
tariff reform and the election of Grover
Cleveland. He will therefore feel en-
tirely at home in his new field in advo-
eating the principles of democracy.
Great Falls takes a good citizen from
Helena, and we cordially commend Mr..
MacKnight to our friends in the young
metropolis. The best wishes of the In
dependent go with him in his new I'M
neutrality-suspicious. Independent.
For some days past the management
of the TRIBUNE has been negotiating
with Mr.. MacKnight with the view to
securing his services for the TRIBUNE.
When the above extract appeared in the
Independent those negotiations had not
been closed, but it gives us a great deal
OF pleasure to reproduce it TO- with the
assurance that the TRIBUNE will pass in
to good hands. Mr.. MacKnight has
long been identified with Montana
journalism. He will bring to his work
here a ripe experience which will place
the TRIBUNE in the lead among the
daily papers of the state. The TRIBUNE
feels that it is remarkably fortunate in
securing Mr., MacKnight's services, and
it congratulates the people of Great Falls
that its greatest and best daily has fallen
into such able hands.

old ring have been administered in a
careless, partisan and extravagant man
ner. There is nothing in the history of
the new ring thus far that gives assur-
ance Of improvement. On the contrary,
its administration of city affairs shows
conclusively that it will follow the meth
DDS of it's predecessor with merely a
change of beneticiaries. The is no hope
of reform from within. 1t must come
from without.
Will the laborers. the farmers. the
business men of Cascade county, volun-
tarily pl, ce themselve again under the
yoke of ring rule, or will they assert
their manhood by making a clean sweep
of the professional of1iceholders who are
Boosting of their perpetual lease of pow
er? Do the taxpayers of Cascade county
prefer republican ring rule to democratic
liberty? If they do let them take steps
to free themselves now
The fight for freedom must begin at
the primaries. Every democrat, every
taxpayer who wishes to see the county
affairs administered in an impartial and
economical manner should attend the
primaries and see that good terling
democrats are sent to the county con-
vention. These delegates should go un-
instructed save that they should be
bound to sink self and nominate the
best and strongest men for county of
fices-men who are popular in the coun-
ty, who can command votes and who
have ability and will to administer the
offices honestly, economically and impair

cratic

MAKE AN EFFORT.

The fact that the board of trade has
been too diffusive in it's efforts to secure
factories for Great Falls has already been
commented on IN these columns. 1t is
very easy to criticise but another thing
altogether TO suggest a line of policy
that will bring success. A policy which
the TRIBUNE believes would be success
full has been outlined, however, and we
would again urge upon the board of
trade the necessity of taking up some
one project and following it to the
end.
Among the manufacturing industries
which have been spoken of in the meet
ings of the board of trade and concern
ing which considerable correspondence
has taken place, is the manufacture of
boots and shoes. The trade papers are
authority for the statement that the
tendency on the part of the boot and
shoe factories is towards the west. The
center of the industry is rapidly shift
ing. a quarter of a century ago nearly
all the boots and shoes used in this
country were made in the vicinity of
Boston. 1t has been found, however,
that there are many points in the west
where manufacturing can be done to
greater advantage than in New England.
If there is any town in the west that
offers advantages as "a manufacturing
center it is Great Falls. And it is sug-
gested to the board of trade that a boot
and shoe factory is an institution to secure
which strenuous efforts should be made.
with a reasonable expectation of sue
cess. The character of the plant and the
output that would be best suited for
Montana, are subjects that have been
fully discussed in the board and in the
newspapers. Would it not be wise to
devote the energies of the board to this
n subject-the establishment of a boot
and shoe factory in Great Falls.

SATURDAY. AUGUST q. 1892.
THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The democratic county convention is
called for September II, the primaries
to be held on the Sd. The democratic
voters of Cascade county should not for
get their duties regarding these pri-
maries.
The county has always been classed
as a republican county. 1t has IN n
or two occasions given majorities for
certain democratic candidates but this
was due to personal and not party
strength. The TRIBUNE believes that
the spirit of the people has undergone a
change since the last election, 1t be-
lieves that Cascade county can be swung
from the republican into the democratic
column. Influences have been at work
in the republican party for the last few
months which give ground for this belief.
The affairs of Cascade county have
been administered fer the last few years
by a ring. Only slaves Of the ring could
receive recognition or enjoy the benefits
Of party supremacy. The revolt against
this ring which took place last spring
was in no sense a reform. 1t was merely
a rebellion, and the course of events
since that time justify the conclusion
that it is merely the substitution Of an
other ring for the first one In the COM
ing republican county convention only
slaves OF the second ring will be given
recognition.

AT the race track yesterday the gate
keeper acting under instruction from
Secretary Wright. refused to admit the
representative of the TRIBUNE to the
track. On appeal to the directors this
action of the secretary was repudiated.
The TRIBUNE does not desire to enter in
to any controversy with the fair associa-
ton. 1t appreciates the burden it is
carrying. But it desires to say that:a
second time no appeal will be made. The
board Of directors must, in justice to it
self, either call its secretary down from
his high.horse or declare its intentions
to upheld him in his efforts to shut the
TRIBUNE out of all participation in the
news of the races. If the association
means to lend itself as an instrument to
and the boycott declared by its secretary
the TRIBUNE would be pleased to receive
an intimatiOn to that effect.

In 1888 Blaine worked quite as hard
as Plat. and Plat worked just as hard
as Quay, and Quay worked just as hard
as Dudley, and Dudley worked just hard
as Clarkson for the election of Benjamin
Harrison, and c%uriously enough, the
same thing may be remarked of this en-
minent quintette this year. One is work
ing just as hard as the other for the
election of Benjamin Harrison.

ONE of the persistent campaign lies
which has been circulating in the Har-
rison organs is the statement that Prick,
the Carnegie boss at Homestead, is a
democrat. A prominent Pennyslvanian,

known in PENNSYLVANIA that Frick is a
republican, and an active republican at
that, and has a pull with Wananaker
because of his large purchases for his

PARKERssuRe. juno 1s.-To.day the
well known New York firm Of bridge
builders, Messrs. soliman & Kayanaugh,
was awarded an extensive contract by
the Ohio River Railroad Company
along its line. amounting in the aggre'
gate to many thousands of dollars. The
contract consists mainly OF bridge re-
pairs, stone work and culyert building,
One Of the principal pieces Of work will
be on the southern abutmant OF the
company's bridge across the kanaWha
river at this point.
This bridge is as solid as rock yet,
and it must not be understood that
there Is any danger whatever connected
with its use. But the energetic young
president OF the company saw a posi-
bility of danger, and will now see 70 1t
that everything here and along the line
is made secure.
When the Ohio River railroad bridge
mentioned was erected 1t was thought
to be one of the strongest, safest and
solidest structures in the country. And
it was, as far as the ingenuity OF man
could make it. But strange phenom'
enon is being witnessed here that is ex-
citing considerable comment among
biologists and others interested. II Is
fact that old Fort Boreman is gradu::
ally slipping into the Kanawha and
Ohio rivers, and being carried away to

day or two ago we met him, the gentle
unagsuming gentleman, that he was,
and nobody knew Emmons Blaine but

sition, a beautiful and devoted vile and
pretty children-and yet the first
thought Of all was for the father. In
unutterable tone and sympathy the
hearts Of all, regardless Of such small
matters, in such connection, as party
and politics, went out to the tathef IN
his far away Bar Harbor home. In TINS
there is q feeling that. tragedy great
or than was ever conceived by the play
writer is being enacted in the stern ac-
Qualities of practical life.
To the magnificent and lustrous pub:
lie career of,Mr. Blaine have entered
elements OF personal sorrow and grief
that few men have been called upon to
face and endure. The vocabulary OF
political abuse has been'exhausted, and
the last resources OF the cartoonists
have been drawn upon to pillory him,
stripped and tattoed, before the world.

BAR HARBoR, Me, June 1s.-The only
occupants OF stanwood, Mr.. Blaine's
summer home, tonight, were the Cop
pineer boys and servants. Tho first
tntimation that Emmons Blaine was Ill
was a telegram which reached STAN
wood Just after breakfast this morning,
saying Emmons was III Wednesday, but
was out Thursday. This was followed
shortly after by a message saying he
was dangerously i'll. About noon q
third dispatch stated that he was grow
Ing worse, and the doctors said that I'M
less there was q change in twentY.tour
hours there was no hope.
Upon the frat news OF his serious ILL
ness, preparations were made 70 leave
on the first train. Between ! and 2
o'clsck this afternoon came word OF his
death. Mrs. Blaine was frantic with
grief. and the whole family greatly
prostrated. Emmons Blaine had many
friends at Bar Harbor, and the news
spread rapidly. Expressions Of sympa-
thy were heard on every hand. Nearly
half an hour before the terry steamer
was to leave, the ex-secretary, accom-
panied by Mrs. Blaine and Miss Hattie,
arrived at the wharf. !,
The whole party seemed overwhelmed
with sorrow. Mr.. Blaine was very pale,
and walked with a quick, agitated step.
Mrs. Blaine, who leaned upon his arm;
gave way to her sorrow, sohbing and
moaning aloud. The party took seats
IN the pilot house as the boat left the
wharf at 8 o'clock. Mr.. Blaine sat with
bowed head and his hat pulled down
over his eyes. The party will bejoined
In New York by Mrs. Damrosch and 20
