A Hundred Ton rlagazine Order.

An event in periodical literature,
not without its significance to the
general public as showing the growth
of the reading classes, was the receipt
on the 9th of November by the Cos
mopolitan Magazine of the order given
below. A single order from a news
company for one hundred tons of
magazines! That is almost an event
in the history of the world. A like
order has never before been made, and
if past ratios be maintained it means
considerably more than half a million
circulation for the December Cosmo-
politan. Think of having the World S
Fair done by such expensive men as
Howels, Mark Twain and Paul Bour-
get, and sending such artists as Chas.
S. Reinhart to Chicago for a single
number of magazine to be sold for
IS cents, or by subscription II 4 cents.
A book publisher, preparing such a
book would not dare incur these ex-
penses short of $500 copy, Is it
not revolution that is an improve
ment upon old methods, a revolution
of vast importance to the reading pub
lie? The order to which reference is
made reads as follows:

Gen. James r. Carnahan and staff
are at Washington trying to secure
the white Lot" just south of the
White House, for camping and parade
grounds during the conclave which
the Knights of Pythias of the coun-
try will hold there next August. They
will ask Congress for special authori-
ty to use the grounds, as did the G.
A. R. there during September of last
year. 1t is believed, as heretofore
stated, that 800, 600 Pythians will be
in attendance at the conclave, and that
1000 uniformed Knights will be on
the parade ground. General Carna-
han stated at the business meeting
that the monument grounds and
white Lot" must be had, if POSSIBLE,
and the experience at the Kansas City
conclave, where the Knights had to
travel several miles to get to and from
the city and into the line of parade
was exasperating. There is very
little, if any, doubt, that the White
House lot and adjoining grounds will
be obtained. Parkersburg Division
No. 3, U. r. X. of P will attend this
conclave and will shortly begin to
prepare themselves to enter the COM
pet;tive drill.-State Journal.

Many announcements concerning

by photographing the old pages.
The old book has been padded out
by various additions culled from vari-

There will be a reunion of Friend
ship Sunday, at the church near Van
clevesville, on the 25d. The exercises
will consist of Rotations and ad-
dresses by members of the school and
possibly others, closing with an origi-
nal poem entitled THE Friendship
Banner" by Master Joseph Wilson,
aged 9 years. After the regular ex-
ercises the school will enjoy a treat to
be provided by the founder of the
school, Mr.. James NJ. VanMetre
Friendship Sunday School was or
gained by Mr.. VanMetre in April,
1863 amid the war that then devas-
tated the Valley, and for IS years he
served as Superintendent. There were
times when the school were forced to
meet under an oak tree, having no
other shelter. but the good work went
on and the school still lives. Mr.
VanMetre tells us that he expects to
have at least thirty of the original
members of the school present at the
reunion, and that the occasion will be
an enjoyable one.

IL view Of the facts as obtained by
Tue TRIBUNE it would seem TO be the
part of wisdom for the Clerks union to
let the petition of other merchants
against Mr.. Jensen drop. 1t is custom
airy everywhere for stores to remain
open on the evening prior to IA holiday,
and there is nothing to be gained by Il
contest Of this kind. The Boston is
a business institution Of which
Great Falls is proud. and
nobody will deny the fairness and public
spirit of its proprietor. lie is & good
employer and a good citizen, and when
he decided to keep his store open on the
evening of July 3 he simply adhered to
a general custom, and supposed that
other merchants would do the same
thing, TO threaten Il boycott unless a
sum Of money is paid is dangerous work.
and We hope the thing will be dropped
without further ado.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
FRIDAY JULY Il. 1898.
SENATOR HILL FOR SILVER.

1t has been said from time to time
that Senator d. b. Hill Of New York in
tends to work for the free coinage of sill
yer at the approaching session Of con
gress. AS no definite statement has
been made by the senator some papers
in the west have doubted his loyalty to
silver, but the matter seems nov to he
settled by the following assertion of the
Washington Post. After commenting
at length on the fixed conviction Of Mr..
Hill IN favor of silver, the Post says: at
is impossible at this time to present an
intelligent forecast. \ new congress
will assemble in Septemher-or when
ever Mr.. Cleveland m it-and it
represents to some extent an unknown
quantity. The claim has been set up
that the stringency in money matters
and consequent disturbances in com
MERGE have converted many who, six
months ago, were the sworn partisans of
silver. And all this may be SO. But it
is equally to be considered that should
confidence be restored between this and
the meeting Of congress, there will be no
further possibility Of frightening men
into monometallism. Meanwhile. we all
know where Mr.. Hill stanCs. He car
ries the banner of free coinage, and that
he will bear it with a brave and stIenu.
u hand is as sure as that the sun will
rise on the morning of the fray"
This seems conclusive, and the people
may congratulate themselves on the en-
listment of such a champion in their
cause. We believe that there are many
more eastern men of Influence who will
yet come out strongly for free silver by
the time the extra session convenes on
August :.

EEPCBLICAN TREACHERN,

With the whole country Circumstance
ed as it is at the present it is difficult to
ignore the main issue. Silver would
not have been ~demonetized in 1873 ex
cept for republican treachery, and it
would have been restored long ago but
for the same cause. The facts are thus
summed up by the st. Louis Republic:
When d party has nothing to tie to it
easily loses itself among eX%pediencles.
In the rise Of the gold tide, the republi-
cans are being swept further from good
politicssthan they realize. Nearly every
one of their leaders has declared within
a week hat the Sherman act was pass
ed to prevent the enactment Of a free
coinage law. There are several weak
nesses in this p~oltroonery. 1t misrepre-
sents the fact. The Sherman act was
only a modification Of the bullion pur-
chase plan presented by Secretary Win
dom with the concurrence of Harrison
and all the cabinet. 1t was an admins
tration measure and a party measure.
The following fall and the mex year il
received the formal approval of republi-
can conventions. If it was really
puSS't ~ ICdt Oi lItc tblildRt, WHO
will like it the better: Not the gold
men, because it has done all they claim
ed free coinage would have done. Not
the bimetallists certainly. Not men
who admire honesty and courage and
who believe that a party must have
principles or die. BY their declarations
the republican managers have abandon
ed the northwestern states. where free
coinage is as much in favor as ever
They abandon moral strength in every
state by writing themselves down trick
STEERS and sycophants who cannot be
trusted t. execute a promise. The pres.
eat times are hard or nlnay kinds of
BUSINESS and they have about forced
the republican party 10 confess its in
z~0.yancv.

IT is not exactly clear why the city
council should insist on a bond from the
street railway company to bind them to
their part of the Central avenue paving
bill when no such demand is made on
other property owners, If there is any
valid legal reason the council should let
the public know It. We understand
from Supt. Dickinson that his company
is prepared to give precisely the same
guarantees for the performance of its
share Of the work which are given by
the other Interested prOperty-owners,
but that he objects seriously to being
singled out AMI subjected to special and
onerous conditions. We think the coun-
Gil has only to realize that this company
could not afford to take a step that
would antagOnlze the people Of the city,
to perceive that there is no necessity for
a bond in this matter. Th9 law defines
what the company must do, and We do
not believe that il a any wish to eyade
the law.

SOCIALlSrIC IDEAS are growing rapidly
in Europe although past conditions IN
this country have not been conducive to
the spread Of the doctrines. The New
York Tribune has this on the subject;
Almost simultaneously with the news
Of Gov. AltgelG'5 astonishing action in
granting "a free pardon to the socialist
bOmb-throwers at Chicago m the in
telligence that the parliamentary repre-.
sentation of the city Of Berlin in the
new reichstag is practically monopolized
by the socialist democrats. Breslau and
other cities like Dresden, Stuttgart,
Leipzig, Frankfort on-the-M ain, and
Potsdam have all polled heavily in favor
Of the socialist ticket. The general cleo.
ton has furnished striking evidence TO
the effect that the socialists are the com
ing political party in Germany, their
aggregate vote beng in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, showing an increase of
nearly 100000 over that polled in 1880.
Nor is Berlin the only European capital
where the socialist element prevails III
local politics. The parliamentary rep
resentation Of Madrid IN the Cortes is
entirely socialistic, while the same party
rules the rOost in the municipal council
Of Paris, the president Of which body is
the former cOmmunard leader, Citizen
lIumbert.

JUDGING from the news that reached
US by telegraph last night concerning
the silver conference at IIelera it does
not appear that anything very definite
has been done by the Montana silver
men. The formation Of free silver as.
ISOLATION is all right as far as it goes.
but this will not spread silver doctrine
where it is most needed. \ host Of free
silver orators should be put into the
field to preach the doctrine Of constitu-
tional money throughout the land.
