IfI Were Fair.

If l were fair!
If had little hands and slender feet;
If to my cheeks the color rich and sweet
Came at word and faded at frown;
If had clinging curls of burnish'd brown;
If had dreamy eyes aglOw with smiles.
And graceful limbs, and pretty girliSh wies-
If were fair, Love would not turn aside.
Life's path, so narrow, would be broad and
wide,
If were fair!
If I were fair
Perhaps, like other maidens might hold
A true hearts store of tried and tested gold.
Love waits on Beauty, though sweet love
alone,
1t seems to me, for aught might well atone
But Beauty's charm is strong, and love obeys
The mystic witchery of her shy ways.
If were fair my years would seem so few;
Life would unfold sweet pictures to my view,
If were fair!
If were fair
Perhaps the baby, with a scream of joy,
To clasp my neck would throw away its toy,
And hide its dimples in my shining hair,
Bewilderd by the maze of glory therei
But now shadow of young girls face;
You will not blame the child whose wee hands
close,
Not on the bltghted bud, but on the rose
So rich and fair
If were fair
o, just little fair, with some soft touch
About my face to glorify it much!
If no one shunnd d my presence or my kiss,
My heart would almost break beneath its bliss
lis said each pilgrim shall attain his goal,
And perfect light shall flood each blinded soul,
w nen day Hush mergeS into sunsets bars
And night is there. md then beyond the stars
/ shall be fairl

Consumption of Tea.

A decided difference of opinion ex-
lists throughout the world as to the
merit of the cup that cheers and not
inebriates. The teapot gets but little
rest in western Australia, where the
annual consumption per head is over
ten pounds. The Briton consumes At
pounds and the American IA, while
the Germans get along with an aver
age of an ounce per capita. The
Frenchman never drinks tea; he takes
a cup occasionally with a wry face
when he feels sick and desperate.

As IA relief for an unsatisfactory con
dition of trade Great Britain looks for IA
wider field and it is now proposed to
establish free trade relations with all the
colonies. This will help the empire i'm.
mensely if carried out, and will prove as
great a boon to the colonies as to the
mother country. To increase and extend
trade relations is the object of most en-.
lightened nations, but under republican
rule our country is forced into a policy
of restriction and limitation. But the
republican party has received its last
advantage OF the score OF claiming as its
own work the blessings which Provi-
dence has heaped upon this country.

CASCADE COUNTY TICKET.

The work of the campaign is going
merrily On and the democrats OF Cas-
cade county may congratulate them
selves that they have a ticket | in the
field which can easily win over the nomi-
nal republican majority Of the county.
1t is very desirable that the democrats
should make a good showing everywhere,
and if they can snatch the laurels from
the alabaster brow of the republicans,
who think they carry Cascade county in
their vest pocket, it will be a victory
worth the winning.
There is no earthly reason why Cas-
cade county should not 60 democratic
this year, which would inevitably lead to
a big democratic victory in the next mu-
nicipal election. The people are alive to
the fact that their interests demand a
change of administration and an I'M
provement in the methods of doing bust.
ness. 1t is well known that there has
been carelessness and incompetency in
conducting the affairs of both the county
and the city, and the taxpayers appre-
ciate the importance of having a new
broom now and then to sweep out the
accumulated rubbish
Regardless of the fact that 1892 is Store
ordained to be a democratic year, each
individual voter in this section of Mon
tana has good reasons to wish for a de
cided improvement in the conduct of
public affairs, and there are few who are
SO bigoted as not to understand that re-
lief must come through a change in the
political control of affairs.
Our county ticket is an excellent one
from top to bottom. No attempt was
made by the convention toproyide places
for ii lot of changers on" and only men
vera chosen who are well fitted for Office
and who are representatives in the calling
to which they belong. While there is no
reason why the entire ticket should not
be elected, it is especially necessary for
the county to have a new board of coun-
ty commissioners. The men nominated
for this board are eminently qualified to
perform the duties faithfully, and would
make a strong team on whom the public
could rely to pull together in the inter-
ests of all the people. Let good, earnest
work be done in every precinct, and Cas-
cade county can be redeemed from repub-
lican control and placed where it belongs
in the great phalany of the democratic
counties of Montana.

An INTERESTING HISTORY.

The series Of articles now appearing
in the TRIBUNE from Washington in
which a graphic sketch is given of the
history of the republican party is at
tracing the attention of all intelligent
readers.
Thus far the articles have treated of
some of the salient points which show
the spirit Of the republican party since
it came into power by the election of
1888. and of some of It's acts which
speak louder than words. AS in this
campaign there will be an attempt made
TO employ methods similar to those used
in 1851 by Mr.. Harrison's party managers,
we give this morning the full facts of
Dudley's infamous blocks of five cir
cular, which is a very nice campaign doc
ument for this year.
Republicans and democrats alike
should read this striking piece of polit,
ical villainy through carefully. and
Judge for themselves as to what
must be the future of the country if such
methods are to be allowed IN our cleo
tons. Dudley and Quay undoubtedly
furnished the model on which the mem
bers of their party ia this state acted in
the theft Of precinct '3i," and it is
therefore extremely interesting to the
people Of this state to look into this
matter. 1t would really be worth while
for every man, who is taking part in the
campaign to learn this document by
heart. These interesting dispatches
will be continued throughout the cam
paign. The facts given in them may be
absolutely relied upon, and may he made
advantageous use of by political speakers
and workers throughout the state.
Nothing will appear in them that can be
gainsaid or that cannot be supported by
evidence which would pass in a court of
justice. Voters who desire to make in
Iuiries about any Of the points contained
in these dispatches, will be promptly
answered by the TRIBUNE.

R~EpUBLI'AN Senator Teller was called
down severely at Denverthe other night.
He was addressing d large political meet
ing and found out that those present
were not disposed to support Harrison
though they had been classed as repub-
leans. On making this discovery Mr..
Teller made some comments On the in
telligence of his hearers which excited
them and the house rose in a body to de-
mand an apology. Teller was astounded
and proceeded to get out of the dilemma
as best he could by making a most alb
ject apology, This shows that people
can not be bulldozed into supporting
Harrison this year. A candidate to sue
coed now must have something to rec
ommend him besides a "reminiscences OF
his grandfather's hat.

Il, T. Belt Mountain Miner in its last
issue has this to say on the capital ques
ton: in another place we present some
forcible reasons why Great Falls should
be the capital of Montana, to the effect
that it is a workingman's town. 1t will
be remembered that at the convention
for laboring men held at Anaconda. it
was resolved that the union would sup
port no town for the capital which en-
ployed Chinese labor. We believe that
Great Falls is the only town out Of the
seven or eight candidates for the capital
which does not employ Chinese labor.
IT these things are true. no member of
the union can consistently vote for any
other place. 1t is only right and Just
that the capital Of this state should be
free from Cinnamon. We believe Great
Falls is the only city which keeps them
out, and this being the Ease it is for the
interests Of the w~orkingmen of Montana
to vote for Great Falls for the capital

WHILE some of the republican mud
singers are hurting their abuse at the
men nominated for office by the state
democracy, this is what the conscien-
tious and well informed Neihart Miner
says of the head Of the ticket:
For a young state like Montana we
want a man with a balance-wbeel, a man
sprung from the people. who is of the
people, who by personal experience and
hard knocks in the past knows
their wants and knows how to reach the
end they seek in the most effective man
ner. In II. f. Collins the democracy
have presented Just such a man: one
whose people before him were %toilers,
whose parents left him no heritage but
that of strong arms, willing hands. and
an honest name, and who by his perse-
verance and industry has accumulated
a competency. gained by hard toll and
patient endeavor; one whose every in
stinct leads him to sympathize with
labor and the struggles of the people:
who knows what il is to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow and who, il
elected to the Office of governor Of Mon
tana, will fill the position. as he has all
others he ever held. with credit to HIM
self and his state. All practical reforls
will receive recognition at his hands,
while impracticable propositions will be
relegated to the rear. Those who by
their votes help to elect him. will never
have cause to regret it. He will be the
governor of the whole state and people.
and will do honor to both.

WITH due respect to the wisdom and
the intelligence of the School Board and
City Superintendent Largent, the TRIB-
M still believes that they are making a
mistake in not preparing fora public eel
ebration for the school children on Col
umbus day, Oct. - next. We do not be-
lieve their decision is in harmony with
the spirit which should prevail on this
occasion, or that it is in keeping with
public opinion. 1t is idle to talk of such
a celebration interfering with the rou-
tine or discipline of the schools, and il
strikes us that there should be Il recon
sideration of this matter while there il
yet time to arrange the details for a
proper celebration. The excuse that
there are too many holidays already has
no application to an epoch of this kind,
and adequate recognition of this pre-emi-
nent anniversary cannot be had except
by a popular demonstration in which
the schools should form the central
figure. We trust that public spirited
citizens, both men and women, who have
the welfare Of the young at heart will
use their influence to have Great Falls
take its place among the other cities of
the land on this great national holiday.

SUNDAY AT THE FAIR,

The Trades and Labor assembly o
Chicago has decided by a large maiorit,
vote that 1t will not take any part in the
ceremonies for the opening Of the
Worlds fair in October, because a de-
cree has gone forth to have the exposi.
ton closed on Sunday. By a superficial
observer it may be thought that there is
no necessity for workingmen to take
this u%nfriendly view of the Sunday
closing clause, but everybody who is
familiar with the life of working people,
will understand how important it would
be to them to have the great fair open
on Sundays.
The Sunday closing movement is
hypocritical and absurd for many rea-
sons In the first place it shuts the peo-
pie out during one seventh of the time.
while the entire period of the fair will
not be more than sufficient to enable the
throngs who go there. to obtain Il notion
of the exhibits. 1t will greatly ~curtail
the receipts and turn the money of visi-
tors into other channels. 1t is un-Amer-
lean to permit "a few puritanical cranks
to cause this exposition to be closed on
Sunday. in the face of the universal de-
mand of the laboring people that it
shall be open on that day.
There is no wonder, therefore. that
the Trades and Labor assembly of Chica-
60 has decided to take no part in the
preliminary ceremonies this fall. Sun
day is the working mans holiday. 1t is,
indeed. the only day that he can afford
to devote to recreation. and the work
ingmen of Chicago by thousands will be
prevented from attending the fair at all.
If it is closed on Sunday.
The expense of going to Chicago will
be considerable. and as tens of thous-
ands of people of small means will wish
to visit the exposition. it will be an
absolute hardship to them to be forced
to spend their Sundays in Chicago, on
expense. when the exposition is closed
against them. a vigorous protest should
90 up from the working people of the
United States. which would break down
this puritical barrier to common sense.
and throw wide open the gates of that
exposition on Sundays.

FACTS WORTH SHOWING q.

People are beginning to appreciate the
efforts of the TRIBUNE to make a news
paper. They noticed yesterday that the
TRIBUNE had five columns of live tele-
ing editorial comment, and five and one.
half columns of bright, newsy local, such
as never has appeared before in IA Great
Falls newspaper. They noticed also, the
few who take the evening Leader, that
it had nearly three columns Of tele-
graphic news. part of which was re-
hashed from the morning TRIBUNE; one
and one-half columns of editorial, most
of which was inspired by the TRIBUNE,
and about two columns of local largely
borrowed from the TRIBUNE. These
figures summed up, and any reader
can make the comparison for
himself. show that IN Thurs
day, Sept. %, the TRIBUNE printed thir-
teen columes of live news and editorial,
while the Leader printed four and one
half columns. such as it was, and had
not one line of news on its seventh or
eighth pages.
If the advertisers and readers of Great
Falls cannot appreciate the meaning Of
these figures, it is to be hoped the time
is not far distant when they will. OF
what use is the Leader anyhow: 1t is IA
hin without form and void and dark
ness is upon the face of it. There is no
earthly reason for its existence. 1t is
neither fish, flesh nor fowl, though. as
Mercutio says, ut is decidedly fishiiied."

HILL ON THE TARIFF.

Democrats and other persons who seek
information will be glad to read the fol-
lowing extract from Senator Hills great
Brooklyn speech:
"If ] we're asked to define as concisely
as possible the whole democratic policy,
l should state it substantially as follows:
We favor a tariff for revenue only, linn
tied to the necessities Of the government
economically administered, and 80 ad-
justed in its application, as far as prac.
ticable, rs to prevent unequal burdens,
encourage productive industries at home
and afford just compensation to labor,
but not to create or foster m%onopolies.
These are the cardinal principles upon
which the details of all tariff legislation
should be based.
sour opponents profess to be much
disturbed because w have in out plat
form denounced republican protection
as a fraud. What else is it? 1t is a fraud
for these conclusive reasons: First, it is
secured by a palpable abuse Of the tax
ing power of the government; second, it
| inures to the benefit of the few at the ex-
pense of the many; third, it is based upon
favoritism of the worst species; fourth,
it tries to create fictitious prosperity, to
be followed by subsequent business de-
preston; fifth, it is deceptivei in it's prom
ises, and unsatisfactory in it's results;
sixth, it's beneticiaries constitute a privi-
lodged class.
president Harrison and all the other
great and small advocates of this vicious
system diligently seek to create the i'm
preston that the democratic party has
assumed a holder attitude than formerly
and become an advocate of absolute free
trade. l said in the campaign of 1888
IN my opening speech at the Academy of
Music in New York city that if l be-
lieved that the democratic party favored
absolute free trade ] should not advocate
its cause, and ] repeat the statement
tonight. ! insist that neither the demo-
cratic party nor | have changed Il po-
sition upon this question, but that we
stand where we have ever stood. Tariff
reform does not mean free trade. Our
opponents misrepresent our position now
as they have ever done since the famous
tariff message of 1887. In hat historic
message our candidate expressly repudi-
ated the suggestion that he was enter
ing upon any crusade of free trade. He
did not demand that our tariff laws
should be wiped out of existence"

YESTERDAY the Great Falls Leader
printed seven columns of news and edi-
torial and the TRIHUNE nearly fourteen
columns. The TRIBUNE is charging ~
cents per month for the paper and the
Leader 81. Here is a lesson in economy,
and the TRIHuNE excels it's rival in quail
ity as much as in quantity. That the
public fully appreciates this fact is shown
by the number of new subscribers this
paper is receiving every day.

and it was declared adjourned to wait
the call OF the president of the associa-
ton, j. M. Quinn of Butte. Perhaps a
