TnE Great Falls correspondent of the

the following: The TRIBUNE has moved
from its old quarters on First avenue
north TO tho new Vaughn building on
Central avenue. The change gives the
paper a more central location as it is now

that DR.. Crutchcr has purchased a con

SIR John

SIR JOHN ROBINSON. Cape Colony and
Natal should join and give South Africa
the same standing Canada and Australia
now have.
Sir John Robinson is the latest au-
thority to be quoted. Born in England.
he went to Natal in early manhood, soon
became prominent and has been a men,
Der of the legislative council for twenty
nine years. He says the movement for
a confederation has been in progress for
seventeen years, yet he cannot see that
it has nude much progress, one great
difficulty being the anomalous position
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State. These were settled by liscon-
tented Beers and others who left the Brit
ish territories and are free republics.
Nevertheless they are cut off from the
sea by the British colonies and connected
with them in ways so peculiar that only
politicians on the spot can understand
their relations.
Cape Colony and the Free State, for
instance, have Il customs union. and
therefore n common tariff, but Natal
would not join it because she preferred
a much lower tariff, and the Transvaal
because her Beers opposed union of any
sort with the hated Englishmen. This
last feeling is giving way, and a us
toms union might be effected, but this
would involve IA financial system includ-
ing two British colonies and two foreign
states and deprive the colonies of the
advantages proposed for imperial feder-
alton. Prosperity, however, is a great
solvent of racial and social hatreds, and
the rapid development of the country is
expected 10 reconcile Britons ami white
Africanders, Beers and Zulus.
1t is a pleasing fact that the writings
of Olive Schreiner have interested many
people in South Africa, and tens Of
thousands Of Americans acquired their
chief knowledge of life in that country
by reading tn" STORY Of an African
Farm" As indicated III her work. the
greatest difficulty in the new lands is
want of water, and with 81 scientific sys-
TEN Of irrigation it is probable that many
millions Of fertile acres could be utilized.

RFPLYIND to the inquiries of some
Connecticut young men who say they
are thinking Of coming to Montana. the
Helena independent says;
Undoubtedly misrepresentation are
made about Montana as about other
states to induce immigration. But we
have never seen any over statement as
to the resources Of this state. It would
be difficult to overstate them. Our
young friends need feel no misgivings on
that score However, we would strongly
advise them to make thorough personal
investigation befOr" deciding on any
location. Let them send. say, two OF
their number in whom they have con
'i"ence Oh a prospecting tour and get eX,
aCtIy the information they want regard,

possibilities Of making a mistaken move.
This is good advice but it may be set
down as a certainty that young men
who want To- work can't make IA mis-
take 10y coming 10 Montana.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
THE LABOH FEDERATlON.

No thinking American can fail to not'
with interest the meeting OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor which is nov
in progress at Independence Hall Phila
delphia. The future Of the republic de
ponds more than most people suppose on
the wisdom and forethought of the la
boring classes. There can never come a
a time when the mass of mankind Will
not be obliged to toll for a livelihood. 1t
is not desirable that any other condition
should ever exist. as man is only happy
when he is occupied. But it is most de
sirable that man should labor with a
definite purpose and object: that they
should save their earnings for the rainy
days of sickness and old age, and that
the relations between the employer and
employe should bc so adjusted as to pre-
ven both loss and strife through dlsa-
greement.
Whatever NAV be the programme of
the great Philadelphia meeting. let us
hope that it will include some plan that
looks to the arbitration of all difficulties.
and the prevention forever of such out
rageous scenes as have been witnessed
ut Homestead and thereabouts this year.
The Federation would DO well also to
have a thorough investigation of all the
ms and outs OF the Homestead troubles.
and especially Of the most recent story
of "A plot To poison non union men whole

We do not heiicre that it is the pur-
pose Of organized labor to foster or to
encourage disorder or any system Of in
timidation or terror, as the very first to
suffer from such would be organized
labor itself. Progress is only possible
with peace. and a fair understanding be-
tween individuals as between nations
can be brought about only by conces-
and a spirit of compromise. 1t ls
to be hoped that the discussion of the
will not be confined to mere
" local and government questions con-
with the order. but that the
broad, philosophical problems which now
confront labor organizations will be
thoroughly examined.

WHERE Is TIE MONEY:

1t is estimated that the county treas
urer received about 100000 of city taxes
this year, and as he has failed to turn the
money over to the city treasurer as the
law directs, a great many people are en-
quiring what has become of it.
The city treasurer is a democrat. and
receives SO a month for his services,
The county treasurer is a republican, and
draws a salary of $3.50 per month. Now
if either of these officials is to receive a
benefit from the handling or deposit of
the city taxes. it would seem but fair
that the city treasurer should be the one
so favored. Apart, however, from any
matter of favor, the fact must not be lost
sight of that the county treasurer has in
frlnged both the letter and spirit of the
law in withholding the payment of
these taxes. 1t would seem to be the
duty of the mayor and council to look
into the case. and to take steps to cause
the county treasurer to attend to his
duty in the matter; in short, to force
him to obey the law. The law says dis
tine ly that these monies shall be paid
over to the city treasurer on the first
Monday in December. a large portion
of it has been in the custody of the
ty treasurer and his bankers for several
months. and there can be no valid en-
cuse for the present action of the county
treasurer.
If there is any ground for the rumor
freely circulated to the effect that the
money is detained in order to enable a
certain bank to keep UP appearances in
its December statement it is certainly
high time that the iniquity should be
exposed. and that every person con
with the plot should be brought
under the lash of public censure.
Where is this money, and who is re-
sponsible for its being withheld?
