The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1893-05-19

heartily ~applauded by veterans and the
entire house; the playing of Miss Shores
appealed especially to lovers of high
class music, but was enjoyed by every
body; little Clara O'Connor captured all
hearts by her recitations. For a child
of ten she has a remarkable voice, and
she reads like a veteran elocutionist.
Miss Eva Common astonished even those
who have had several opportunities to
hear her, by the sweetness aud compass
of her clear soprano voice.
All of these received encores which
were well merited by the excellence OF
their performances.
Madame Ericke's violin solos were
perhaps the chief surprise of the even
ing, as no one could expect to find an
artist of her talent so far away from the
great cities. The piece on the program
was wonderfully we'll executed, and for
an encore Nine Ericke gave the grand
March Funebre of Chopin. Still unsat-
listed, the audience insisted on ii second
recall, and the artist responded with a
third selection.
The installation exercises were inter
esting and sufficiently novel TO hold the
audience to the end, although the hour
was late.
The banquet.
1t was II o'clock when the company
Of about POO. including the ladies Of the
Relief Corps, sat down to the banquet at
the Park hotel. 1t was a superb affair,
and was given as a compliment by the
citizens to their Invited guests. The
hour was SD late that no report of the
speeches can be given.

At THE OPERA HOUSE.

A Delightful Entertainment Given by
Local Musical Talent.
1t is not at all likely that the veterans
expected such an artistic programme
that was prepared for them at the opera
house last evening. The city's guests
attended in a body and a large and
fashionable audience occupied the rest
of the house. The program was as fol-

Efficiency Of Ballot Reform.



The complete success of the reform sys-
tenn in 50 large a proportion of the states
makes certain its speedy adoption in the
remaining states. At the beginning of the
present year the only states still with
out it were Kansas and Idaho in
the North, and Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana. North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia in the South.
All these ought to have it embodied in their
statutes before the next presidential election
comes round and the chances are that all of
them will DO so. In no part of the country
is the reform more urgent, or more salu-
tary in its results, than in the South. II
subjects the negro voters to the same test of
intelligence which it imposed in the North.
and thus removes all ground of complaint
in case portion of such voters are not able
to exercise their rights of suffrage. 1t is
estimated by the leaders of Tammany Hall
in New York city that the new system de
prves them of from 5000 to 10000 votes
in every election because Of the inability of
the most ignorant voters to cope with the
requirements of the law. The exclusion
from the polls of voters so densely igno-
rant as this. whether they he in the North
or in the South, or whether they be black
or white, is far from being public misfor
tune, and is also far from constituting de-
feet in the new voting method.

The following criticism of the action Of
the jury in convicting Asa =. Potter. late
president of the Maverick Bank, made by
the Boston Transcript, will be heartily COM
mcnded by all business men, who believe
that any other decision than the one given
would have been an injustice to the entire
community: "Of the business of the YER
dict we think there can be no doubt. 1t is
strictly in line with sound public policy as
well as with law and evidence. There
is no need to rehearse the story of
the Maverick Banks rise and fall, to
convince business men and the public
generally that any other verdict than
guilty" would have been an endorsement,
or at least q condoning, of methods in bank
ing management fraught with danger to the
whole system of credit and vi it'll injustice to
every depositor. The jury avoiding the
distinctions so carefully set for them, have
acted in accordance with the greater equi-
ties which should and did govern their deci-
sion ANY other verdict would have been
an injustice to the community"

So much having been said against the
Columbian postage stamps. writer in the
Boston Traveller comes to their defense by
showing that they are historical, appro-
priate. artistic and simple. They set the
people studying about Columbus; they COM
memorate the discovery of America; they
are beautiful in design, and bring to the
front ''the genesis of our existence as a
nation--go back to the babyhood of the
American continent. There can be no
greater simplicity than that; infancy of any
sort is tender and sweet with it. 1t is the
simplicity of true Republicanism. Thanks
to the postmaster-general for the concep-
ton and accomplishment of the illustrated
stamps" He makes out a strong case in
their favor, and with few exceptions all will
agree with him.
