BUTTE's ladies and gentlemen of color
have given that community a real old
fashioned cake walk, which leads the
Miner to ask: "What is a cake waikiki
and to give the following definition: "A
cake walk is a very simple proposition
and is designed to test the graceful car
riage and walk of those who participate.
The contestants are paired, lady and
gentleman, and to the music OF a march
they walk the stage for a short period,
displaying their grace. There we're
about 20 couples who participated last
night and in most cases the walkers we're
the acme of correctness and grace in
style. The judges were Alex. j. John
con, Judge j. j. Mediation, Harry Tut
tie, f. d. Corbett and Judge d. A. Wal
dron. During the walking the audience
picked its favorites and applauded them
Justify as they walked around. After
the first trial several of the couples were
called upon by the judges to walk again
in pairs and then sing!y." From which
1t would seem that the cake walk is a
sort OF prize promenade, and it is to be
presumed that the winner takes the
cake. Now Butte is clamoring for more
cake walks, and the novelty of the en-.
tertalnment would seem to recommend
it to other localities.

EXTRACTION WITH RUSSIA.

1t would appear that the Russian bea
has come pretty near stealing a marcl
on your Uncle Sam in securing the rat
ification by Mr.. Cleveland Of an extradi
ton treaty which will enable the czar t
bring back any refugee who comes frou
his dominions to this country, agains
whom crime may be alleged.
In Chicago and other cities publ
meetings have been held and vigorou
protests made against the treaty. Tn,
Chicago meeting was addressed b,
Judge Tuley Of the circuit court, and il
the course Of the meeting the treaty wal
denounced as a fugitive slave law
Judge Tuley said:
Why is it we have interested ourselves
in behalf of Russian refugees! 1t is be
cause a wrong done to the humblest
Russian peasant is a wrong done to you
to me, and the 60,OOO,0OO of people who
profess allegiance to the American flag.
A law affecting the liberty of any citizen
of this country i wrong. The purpose
of this treaty is to deprive some one of
his or her liberty. Why is it that the
United States should surrender a Grim
inal to Russia? Civil law has no say
there; monarchial law has been and is to.
day the rule. The criminal laws of Rus.
STA are such as to dishonor any nation
that will make with it an ~extradition
treaty. Why should Russia be permit
ted to make the president of the United
States and those subordinat to him, his
policemen to arrest the Russian Grim
lnals? Should extraditiun of Russian
citizens be attempted we will appeal to a
higher power-the constitution of the
United States. We will see whether a
president and about thirty United States
senators can cast a stigma of disgrace
upon our country.
At this meeting also a letter was read
from the celebrated George KEENAN,,
who knows more about Russian barbar-
ity than any other American, in which
appears these significant words:
When the car ceases to declare mar
law every year in the most important
parts OF his empire; when he restores
trial by jury and recognizes the rights of
habeas corpus; when he abolishes exile
by administrative process and imprison-
ment without judicial warrant; when he
ceases to prosecute religious dissenters
on account of their faith; when he re-
forms the Siberian exile system, and
when he begins to rule as a civilized and
Christian monarch, then, but not until
then, can the government of the United
States send back to him his fugitive sub
Jects, without cruel injustice to them
and disgrace to itself.
Clearly this treaty needs reconsidera-
ton. Russia has not yet reached a stage
of development in which she can be
with on a basis applicable to civil
lied powers.

The people Of Great Falls know how
to appreciate a good thing. A lady who
came into THE TRIBUNE office to sub.
scribe for the paper yesterday said: II
became sick and tired of the evening
paper because it had nothing in it but
slurs and attacks on The TRIBUNE.
Everybody says The TRIBUNE is SO much
better, and yet it is only 70 cents a
month, while the Leader is a dollar" At
a meeting OF the directors of The TRIB-
N company, held a short time ago. the
business affairs of the company were
carefully examined, aud it was found
that the subscription list in Great Falls
alone has been more than doubled since
the present management took charge in
last, while the monthly def
lett has been reduced from the then
prevalent figure of from $500 to $1,000
per month TO a fraction of this sum.
These are the facts. and the malicious
falsehoods in asst nights Leader simply
shows the cloven foot of the green. eyed
gentleman who runs thu outfit over the
way.

PLAcE-HUNTERs at Washington are
having a hard time. For nearly two
months they have been nursing their
vain hopes, and are now fainting on the
ragged edge. One man who was out for
a large-sized plum finally got disguised
and on taking his departure said: an
have something out Of the government,
anyhow. l have bought a 1O.cent pail
and I'm going down to the fish commits
sion to beg two gold fish to take home"
This must have been a sensible man, and
his catch was more tangible than most
Of them can boast of.

Now is the treasury's opportunity TO
break the back Of the Wall street blood
suckers. The government ha! been run
long enough for the benefit of that gang
OF schemers which has manipulated the
financial affairs of the United States for
It's own advantage before and ever since
the war. The desperate efforts of the
gang to force gold to a premium should
be nipped IN the bud at once.

THE WEST TAKES A HAND,

c. w. Cannon, the we'll known Helen
capitalist, was here yesterday, and il
speaking of the present financial trouble
in the east, said: "Wall street has beef
so accustomed TO have it's way respect
ing every financial move of the govern
ment that it does not know what to max,
of Mr.. Carlisle ignoring it's demands. Tn,
truth is the country has grown too bi.
for Wall street. Other money center,
have come to the front in the last few
years and the supremacy Of Wall stree
nc longer exists"
In the issue Of the N. Y. World Just t.
hand appears the following referring t.
Mr.. Carlisle's policy: q
He is determined that the interests OF
Wall street shall not be supreme, and
that the interests of the rest Of the coun
try shall be as carefully guarded by the
democratic administration as were the
affairs of the spectators shielded b,
republican presidents and secretaries
1t is sincerely to be hoped hat there
will be no unnecessary issue of bonds
~ " ADMINISTRATION. w I'll
street is busily and voc~iferously de.
mandlng an increase of the public debt.
out Wall street is always selfish and
often frightened. Its affairs and its
pleas ought not to be the only interests
consulted by the government. The ad-
vice of the western and southern bank
ers Is likely to be quite as valuable on
this general proposition as that of the
IN pnl.nrS nf Naut N4.l rI .-.
bankers are to be consulted on so i'm
portant a subject, and one So far-reach-
ing In its effects, those of all sections
should be taken into account.
This is good sense. Production in the
republic today has its greatest develop
ment IN everything except manufactures
in the regions lying west of the Ohio
river. The gold and silver are all pro-
duced on the western side Of the cont.
nent, and the day is probably not far
distant when most Of the goods ordered
by western houses will come from points
a long ways west Of the Atlantic sea-
board. Manufactures are moving west
ward, and this tendency will be accele-
rated as the years 60 by. Before the
population OF the western half of the
republic equals that of the eastern half
there is no reason to doubt that the bal
ance of trade will be in favor of the west.
But these are not considerations which
apply directly in the present crisis
Western ideas are the things calculated
to help the administration out of it's
dilemma. The restoration of silver to
the position it formerly held is all that
is needed. This is a western and south
ern conviction which must be adopted,
and we firmly believe that it will be at a
much earlier period than most people
imagine. The gold sharks are playing
hard for a new bond issue, but they find
the people awake and ready to Illustrate
their wicked designs, The voice of the
west and south is that of patriotic Amer
leans demanding their rights under
the constitution, while the clamor of
Wall street is that Of a band of wolves
that have too long thrived on the blood
OF the people.
