MONTANA's NENT GOVERNOR.

Butte Miner contained the following;
In answer to nero inquiries asst

democratic candidate for governor. The
Miner will say that Mr.. Collins va;
born in Ireland in 1874. We learn from
exchanges which are familiar with NJ
Collins history that at the age of seven
he came to America with his parents
In 1864 he located in Virginia City.

until 1866, when he removed TO Dia.

the Legislature from Meagher county,

that body, always found fighting for

ing and opposing those legislative meas.
ures which were against the interests oil
the people," ,
Mr.. Collins was clerk and recorder and
probate judge of Meagher county and
made an enviable record in both offices
Through industry and perseverance
young Collins gained a competency, and
in 1880 engaged in the banking business
in Fort Benton, from which place he re-
moved in 1887 to Great Falls, where he
is now looked upon as the foremost cit
zen of the city and county.
Mr.. Collins is a t~ireless worker. From
childhood he was trained to toll. As
miner working with pick and shovel le
was ever faithful and persevering, ne
has conquered the fates which seemed
to be against him in his youth: our

enemies; delighted his friends. anu

cessful laboring man. He has never uu'
dertaken a task that he has not success
fully accomplished, and it is violating DO
confidence to say that in the present p,o,,
litical contest he has the strange hoIu
on Multiplication Richards. The nam'
of the next governor of Montana is TIM

AN exchange says: THE ~Bonapartist
newspapers Of Paris are vigorously en-
gagged in denying Zola's charge in The
DOWNFALL that Napoleon III. put rouge
on his cheeks at Sedan to conceal their
unnatural pallor and give them the ruddy
hue of youth. But lola rests serene and
content with the possession of the testi-
mony of the hairdresser who applied the
cosmetics to the imperial checks This
will be a capital way for u Thomas to
fix himself when he leads the retreat to
the woods after the great republican
Waterloo of about n month hence, In
deed our Tom may be styled the Napo-
leon III. of the day, and Har. ison is his
Eugene who boasts: This is my war"

LET TIL EN- HOWL.

Still harping as is their wont upon re
ports and ~fabrications bred in their owr
diseased minds, the republican papers Of
the state go on filling their columns with
attacks upon Mr.. Collins. They know
that the vote of Montana is largely made
up of the men who toll, and so they go
deliberately to work to prejudice the
minds of the people against the man
who is their best friend.
But they will find that their labor is
not only in vain to help their own cause,
but that it will react in favor of their op.
ponents. The villainy Of their lying is too
obvious to deceive the simplest person,
while the desperation which drives them
the necessity OF grasping at such
himsy straws, cxcites the contempt of all
who see it. The public pities them while
it despises their paltry methods. The
men who toll would as soon turn against
their own flesh and blood as against r.
E. Collins the mar who is the ideal of
their type in Montana today.

LET US SUPPOSE A CASH.

AS was expected by the TRIBUNE, Mr..
Harrlson's organ at Helena devotes most
OF its editorial space to the subject Of
MIR. Collins connection with the Great
Falls e. Canada railway. While the
punster's verbiage may amuse some peo-
pie, it will have no effect whatever in
making votes for the republican party.
The people who read newspapers desire
to see something in their columns besides
a constant harping o one.string, or a
constant re-hash Of stale, fiat and base
less charges. II anybody has taken the
trouble to read the rigmarole of Mr..
Harrison's organ they have been more
convinced of the falsity and triviality of
the charges made against Mr.. Collins
than they would have been if they had
investigated the matter for themselves.
Let us suppose a case. Suppose that
an American company had built a rail
road from Helena extending into British
Columbia, with it's terminus at a given
point in that province, and it's only con-
nections being Canadian roads. Suppose
this American company had it's shops
and crews Of w%orkingmen on the
American side of the line, and a sudden
report should come in that a bridge on
the Canada side had been burned down.
Would it not be the natural and proper
thing for the company to send it's crow
with dispatch from its American shops
to repair the damage? Now this is pre-
cisely what was done by the Great Falls
& Canada railway. The active officials
who we're charged with keeping the road
in repair did not stop to think whether
it was proper or not to bring their work
insmen across the American line to re-
pair this damage.
The order was given as for all other
work, and it was a matter of gaining
time and having the road in a passable
condition at the earliest possible moment.
Now, in spite of the long winded and
sleep-provoking editorial of the Harrison
organ, there is nj man in Montana who
would believe, even if any offence were
committed, that Mr.. Collins could have
known any more about it than President
Harrison himself. The persistence of
the Harrison organ IN endeavoring to
fasten this ridiculous charge upon Mr..
Collins is really pathetic. 1t shows dis
tinctly that the poor thing is in the last
ditch and that it is doomed to perish
there.

HARRIsoN's little man Friday, who
grinds the princes ur-barreled organ al
Helena, is stricken with softening of the
brain. In a recent grist of the organ
Friday says:
Shelby Eli billiard is said to be suffer
ing from a broken heart. He has at last
discovered a mar who can remove the
freckles from his escutcheon. and rival
his wealth of editorial incongruities. The
editor of the Great Fails TRIBUNE says:
'Diphtheria is prevalent in Butte, and is
causing considerable alarm. But the au-
thorities were very quick to arrest the
vendor of that disgusting sheet from
Spokane which is slanderlng the citizens
of Montana. If this spirit is kept up it
should be easy to suppress the diph-
iberia"
The desperation of Fridays case will
be perceived at once Gum chewing has
done it. He should eschew his cuds of
Iucatan calculations, take the gold
cure, and lave his optics in salt and
water. when he may be able to perceive.
by the aid of his spectacles, that the pur-
suit of cleanliness grows by what it
feeds on. D%iphtheria ome from filth;
ergo, Danish filth, and there you have it.

Butte has found it necessary to give
her police force a rugged o%verhauling.
As a sample of the charges made by the
press take this from the Anaconda
Standard:
Everybody knows that the present
police force is the most inefficient ever in
the employ of the city and some people
also know more, know it to be a fact
capable of proof that some of the officers
have received rake offs as a premium
for keeping their mouths shut ana for
maintaining a convenient blindness at
certain times. 1t is also known and
can be proved that much of the money
stolen from men in houses of i'll
fame has been shared by the women
stealing it with officers who are supposed
to be paid for protecting the public
against thieves and robbers. 1t is also
further known that 'divvies' have been
mace quite recently and that more are
being continually made. The complaints
made recently against the police have
been so persistent that a full and com
plete investigation is to be made and
some startling disclosures may be looked
for.
The investigation blizzard struck the
force and many heads have rolled into
the basket. Let the good work go on.

STILL ROBBING THE PEOPLE,

The TRIBUNE showed yesterday that
the sugar trust, under a pretense of
making up for the difference in wages
between Europe and the United States,
received tariff taxes in 1890 amounting
to s41,354,940 while the total paid by the
trust for labor in the period named was
barely S4,419,094. These figures are
absolutely incontrovertible. being from
the government Bureau of Statistics,
and we defy the republican press to gain
say them.
This morning it will be interesting to
look a little further into this sweet prob
lem which is really such a bitter pill to
the American people, because it illus
trates so clearly the operation of the tar
if throughout the long list of trusts
which are riding them to death.
There are four hundred and fifty of
these tariff trusts which are pouring
the earnings of labor into the Golfers of
the barons who control and support the
republican party. We shall refer to
Others hereafter, but for the present
take the profits of the sugar trust from
1880 to 1891 as given by the Bureau of
Statistics. During that period the
amount of sugar refined was 1921 ,7l9
tons, and the wages paid was exactly
S~5l,O4G,92G. The duties paid to the
trust by the onsume of sugar during
the ten years aggregated $546,931 ,35S,
which gave the trust, out of this allow
ance to make up ''the difference in
wages" S49j, SS4 ,432.
Such is republican protection. 1t pro-
tects the rich and powerful, the men
who can control legislation by their long
pocket books, filled with money wrung
from the life-blood of the laboring
classes: who can bring about the pas
sage OF such laws as the Mckinley bill
and the force bill to rob the people first
of their money and then Of their liberty.
But it does not protect the poor man
or the man who tolls for a livelihood. To
him it says: "Vote as your protected
master tells you, and think yourself
lucky if you can secure bread for your
children. The good things of this earth
are for the barons Of the land, who are
allowed to tax you because they support
the great and good republican party"
One of the purposes of the democratic
party is to remove these unjust burdens;
to raise sufficient revenues for the needs
OF the government from a tariff on the
luxurles of the rich, ana to admit free of
duty all those things that may be classed
as the necessaries of life.

THIS news comes from Butte. =.

THIS news comes from Butte: The
ladies of the Columbian fair association
of Silver Bow county today passed an
emphatic protest against the model for
the statue to be furnished by Montana
for the worlds fair being sought outside
the state. The ladies thought there are
native Montana women who would make
Just as beautiful models in face and fig
ure as the person from the east pro-
posed This is a correct stand for the
ladies of Montana to take. They are as
beautiful as any on earth, but is there
one of them who would pose as a model?
This is a serious question, and we az
proach it with great diflidence. We adj
nit that Ada Rehan. the actress, is
rather a mature paragon, and that she
lacks much Of being a Psyche, but she
will not object to posing. Before press
ing this matter to extremities the ladies
should decide, il possible, who is the
most beautiful woman in Montana and
then ascertain if she will pose for the
artist in order to be cast in silver. We
think it will be generally admitted that
the ladies of the Silver Bow association
are treading on delicate ground, ground
which may be strewn with more thorns
than roses. A jury of men to select the
beauty might stand a better chance of
success, but to pose for such a jury might
prove a worse ordeal than posing for the
artist. 1t is really a very delicate ques
ton, indeed.

OF American History says that Francis
p. Harper, New York, is about to issue a
new and important edition of Lewis and
Clarke's expedition over the Rocky noun
tains in the years 1904, 1905, and 1906.
The actual narrative of the explorers
will be given by a faithful reprint of the
Philadelphia edition of 1914, embellished
with copious notes by the editor of the
new edition, DIR. Elliott Coues. This
gentleman has gone to much pains to
qualify himself for this important task,
and his notes are expected to prove Of
great value. Only a small edition will
be printed.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY.

1t is OF vital importance to the people
of Montana to do all they can to put an
end to the ruinous administration of the
government which is characterizing the
reign of the Harrison family.
From beginning to ending the admin
istration has been carried on as a family
affair for the advancement and aggran-
dizement of the big and little members
OF the Harrison family. All his relations
have been quartered on the government,
and there never has been seen in the his
tory Of any other administration in this
country anything to approach the ef-
frontery of the presidents son in putting
his own private jobs through the execu-
tive departments, and using the official
influence of his father for promoting his
private ends. While this is not strictly
an issue of the campaign, it is to be kept
in mind by citizens who feel a pride in
having the government free from such
scandals, and its actual Importance is
found in the fact that it de L o~rdlizes the
public business and encourages self-seek-
ers to place their dependence upon a
pull" they may have with the prince
rather than upon their actual fitness or
qualifications for the places they seek.
The republican and independent
voters of the state will not forget the
manner in which Mr.. Blaine was treated
in Minneapolis by Mr.. Harrison's hire
lings, nor will they lose sight of the in
dignities which were heaped upon the
great statesman from Maine by the pres
ident at Washington. 1t is we'll known
that the bad treatment to which Mr..
Blaine was subjected was that of a
small-minded man who did the part of
"jack' in office, against a really able
man. the latchets of whose shoes he was
unworthy to ~unloose. In a mean and
spiteful manner, the little president tor
tured the big secretary of state, poster
ing his life out by petty interference and
fault-fnding and by the untimely asser-
ton of his superior authority. He could
not endure to have about him a man
who held so high a place in the esteem
of the people, and one who was so much
his superior in intellect and in all the
qualifications of a statesman.
MI. Blaine has moved to Washington
for the winter, which is evidence that he
does not intend to vote this fall. 1t
may be that for his own satisfaction as
an ardent member of the republican
party, he may ask some democratic
friend in Maine to pair with him, but he
will take no active part in the election of
a man whom he knows to be so poorly
qualified for the Office of president of the
United States, as is Benjamin Harrison.
One only has to think over the names of
the men who are in his cabinet, and the
which led to their being placed
there to understand how important it is
this country to get rid of such an in
cubus. 1t is a patriotic duty to set the
seal of popular disapproval on the whole
outfit.

The death of Ernest Renan, the great
French author whose Life of Christ
distinguished him in the world of letters,
and brought down upon him the dis
pleasure of the orthodox Christian
world, move a man who held UNIQUE
place in modern letters. The reports
which describe his last moments show
that he was rational until he expired,
and that the human nature of the man
was strong even in death. About his
bed were many of the distinguished
men of France, including De Freycinet,
the minister of war, and Pere Hyacinthe,
the noted religious reformer whose fame
has spread around the world. Remains
last request was that he might have a
national funeral, and that his body be
inferred in the Pantheon among the
other distinguished men of France. His
children were present at his deathbed.
but as Renan was a FREE -thinker and
counted by the church as an infdel no
priest was in attendance. One report
from Paris says hat on the evening pre-
ceding Remains death a friend of his boy
hood came in to see him, and when he
was taking his leave the great thinker
said: 'Au revoir, we will see each other
again in some other place. l do not know
in what form, but l am sure we shall
meet again." Most, If not all, of the
great men who have been set down as in
tidels have had a firm belief IN the i'm
mortality of the human soul, and it will
surprise no one that Renan spoke in
this way. Immortality is the hope ar d
the reward of every Just man.

lT would be decidedly amusing to see
the republican press wrestle with this
fact: The protected sugar trust, (own-
ers of the re iineries of the United States)
received in 1890 S~42,935,84G in taxes
direct from the pockets of the people
under the p~retext of keeping up the
wages of the employees. In the same
period the total amount of wages they
paid was S%4,4l9,O94. This is an object
lesson which a blind man can see.
