The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1893-03-17

THERE is every appearance that the
pledges made in the national platform of
the democratic party will be rigidly adj
hered to. President Cleveland is organ
izing for business. He is putting only
the best men in office, and warns all
others that they need not aspire as he
has no use for them. The New York
Sun thus summarizes the national plat
form, showing what the administration
is pledged to do:
l.
Home rule; individual liberty; resist.
ance to Capitalization.
III.
No force bill; no federal interference
in state elections.
III.
Economy in appropriations; no profit
gate expenditure.
".
Protection unconstitutional; no power
in the federal government to impose and
collect tariff duties, except for evenue
only.
V.
Trusts and combinations to be rigidly
regulated by law.
Coinage of both gold and silver; no
discrimination against either metal; the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals to
be of equal and interchangeable value.
VII.
Honest civil service reform.

SPEAKING Of dairy cattle, which
formed one of the most interesting sub
iects of discussion at the farmers meet
ing yesterday, here are some facts that
may prove of interest. A gentleman in
Duchess county. New York, a friend of
the writer, keeps 100 Holsteins in milk
ing condition all the year round, care
fully breeding so that they will come in
during variOu, months. He sells all the
milk to the Eagle Condensing factory at
Wasaic, getting an average return from
it of $1,000 "a mouth, twelve months in
the year. All these COWS are large and
of true breeding, and ore among the
herd actually produced on a test 17,70O
pounds of milk 10 one year. Such fig
ures as these go a good way toward es-
ta%blishing the opinion of Mr.. Gibson
that the Holstein is a good COW for Mon
tana. They are very hardy and hearty,
and are certainly the stock of the future
for this state.

CHICAGO, H., October 3O.-The sanitary
authorities aroused by recent editorials on
f Amiek cure and the righteousness OF the

sumptives. The Post says. Consumption

DENVER, Colo, October 30.-The proposed
state legislation isolating both resident con-
sumptiyes and those coming here has led to
the Incorporation of institutions for their
care. The Denver Sanitarium Co. opened
theifs last week to the patients of all physi-
ciahs and com bines isolation with the Amick
treatment which each consumptive is given
an opportunity of testing with medicines

BANKRUPTCY.
Arguments Pro and Con on the
New Law.
One Member Believes it q scheme to Fore
close Western Mortgages; and Another
That 1t Will be Good for Debtor
and Creditor Alike.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. October N.-The de.
bate on the bankruptcy bill was resumed in
the house. Mr.. Lane of Illinois took the
floor in opposition. He made the broad
statement that the bankruptcy bill could
not be passed in this country at this time.
He added the bankruptcy laws of no other
country were more drastic, more merciless
than this. His people were debtors. Their
farms were mortgaged and agriculture was
depressed. Eastern creditors would fore
close their mortgages if this bill became Law.
why, Mr.. Speaker" said he, ~ more than
half suspect the purpose of the bill is to
foreclose western mortgages"
Mr. Coombs of New York supported the
bill. No man who had watched the practical
operation of bankruptcy law would deny
the law was as advantageous to the debtor
as it was to the creditor if he was honest.
His life's experience had taught him honesty
was the rule. dishonesty the exception. In
forty years of the millions and millions of
credits he had given, he had lost but one
sixteenth of one per cent. He favored the
bankruptcy law, moderate and just to cred
itor and debtor alike.

All Want to Go Home.

WASHINGTON. D. c., October 26.-The
democratic repealers held a meeting with
twenty-three members present. There was
a discussion of the situation in the senate
and the methods the friends of repeal should
take when the repeal bill cane over from,
the senate. But no action was considered
advisable at this time and it adjourned to
meet at the call of the chairman.
There is q disposition among the repeal
democrats in the house to concur with the
amendments of the Wilson bill if it comes
over in the shape that it is now known as the
Voorhees, bill Repeal republicans of the
senate indorse it. There is disposition in
the house not to delay the passage of the bill
by asking for a conference or dlsagreeing
with the VOORHEES, bill. Further than this
the desire of so many to get away as soon as
possible will have a tendency to encourage
concurrence in the senate bill. =,
After the silver bill is passed, then comes
up the matter of adjournment. There seems
to be a general desire among the member
of the house to get away, and the news that
the senate would vote seemed to be relief
even to those who are pronounced silver
men.

Senator Teller's Conclusion.

In the senate, while the amendments to
the silver repeal bill were being acted upon,
Senator Teller said:
"To me this is the most terrible moment
in my legislative life. To me it brings more
fear than anything since entered public
life. fear we entering upon a financial
system from which here is absolutely no
escape. know there will be no favorable
legislation until the American people are
beard from at the ballot box and heard
from in a way that will compel attention to
their desires. Mr.. President, I am not a
pessimist; never have been; am an Opt
mist. / have never seen disaster and distress
growing out of politics simply because they
did not meet my approval. have had faith
in the American people," Here Mr.. Teller's
voice choked and tears came to his eyes. He
spoke impressively and was accorded undi-
vided attention. There never was q storm
SO dark that could not see the coming light
on the mountain top, but cannot contem-
plate this condition of things without abso-
late terror. 1t strikes to my very soul
and want to enter this as a warming to the
American people that if they do not resist
they will enter upon a system of industrial
slavery that will be the worse known to the
human race"

Justice Allen Give. the Deol.ion.

The Kansas supreme court ordered that
the petition for a mandamus to compel the.
secretary of state to issue the certificate of
nomination of Judge Thompson by the,
miners and laborers' party of Usage county
be granted.
The opinion in the case was delivered by
Associate Justice Alien, who made full re-
view of the case from all the legal stand
points. 1t was the opinion of the court that
there was no authority in the ballot law for
the secretary of state to withhold the certifi-
cate of nomination. In the opinion of the
court it is the absolute duty of the secretary
of state to forward the certificate to the
county clerk unless the special tribunal,
composed of the secretary of state, the audi
tor and attorney general, had authorized,
him to withhold it. If this special tribunal
finds the petition not sufficient, and the time.
for fling original papers has expired, then,
the signers of the petition have the right to.
file an amended petition.
Assistant Secretary of State Zercher has.
forwarded to the county clerk of Usage
county the certificate of nomination Of
Judge Thompson by the miners and labor
ers' party.

Kansas Rsilroad A..e..m.nt.


TOPEKA. October 28-In connection with
report of the doings of the annual meeting
of Santa Fe stockholders the following has
been brought out.
question has been raised in regard ia
the assessment of the Santa Fe, as made by
the state board of railroad commissioners.
The assessment was increased materially
over last year, and out of proportion, it Is
claimed, to other railroads It was at first
contemplated that the company would ask
for an injunction TO restrain the various
county treasurers from collecting the tag
under the new assessment. But that course
was abandoned for the reason that if the
company should be defeated in court II
would have to pay so per cent. penalty, in
addition to the regular tax.
The only plan now thought to be feasible.

ing the company from paying the tax. on
the ground that it is exorbitant, and that the
Santa Fe assessment was the result of polit.
ical prejudice on the part of the Kansas
state board. With an injunction of the kind
no penalty would attach. in the event that
the company should be defeated on trial OF
the merits of the case.

Annual Santa Ee Meeting.

Three private cars reached Topeka filled
with the chief men of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, who came to hold their
annual meeting.
One of the directors said to reporters:
THE great trouble with the Santa Fe lies
in the fact that it was built ahead of the
country. Miles and miles of road were built
when the revenue from it would not be q
drop in the bucket towards its maintenance
and operation. Now, however, ali of these
lines are developing as the country is being
opened up, and the only lean or poor lines
are those through Arizona and part of that
which runs through Oklahoma. Even in
these sections the prospects are getting bet
ter, and only the other day New Mexico was
awarded the premium for wheat at the
worlds fair. The road has not been build
ing to any extent for about eight years, and
1t has been catching up all of this time.
Every month now brings its receipts up.
That the Santa Fee is in the ascendency at last
is plainly to be seen by any one who knows
about the road.
notwithstanding the strlngency in
money matters, we are paying our debts,
little slowly perhaps. but since Mr.. Frey's
in our ability to pay and We are sure
that they will give US no trouble. We ex-
pect to get back to our old time regularity
in pay days in very few weeks. We will
continue to run close hauled until times get
better, which, if the Sherman act is to be re-
pealed, as now seems certain, will come
speedily. As to the outlook, it was never
better in the history of the company. In
the mining country business is improving.
The statement that the smelters of Colorado
shut down when the silver fight came on was
not correct. They have not permitted their
fires to 90 cold for day or an hour. Now
they have begun to ship orr and coke again,
and believe Mr.. Reinhart 'eport will bear
me out in the assertion tn our October
this year will almo,. not quite,
equal our earnings for the saint month in
1892. In Kansas our business is very graft
flying and it continues to improve, and east
of the Missouri river better condition of
things could not be desired"

Can Neither Stay or Get Away.

GUTHRIE, OF, October 27.-The first touch
of winter now being experienced in the
Cherokee Strip reveals but family the con-
dition that will exist within the near future.
Hundreds of people and dozens of families
are entirely destitute. Many of them have
no money to get away or to procure shelter
from the winter.
In the opening rush thousands of people
expended almost their last dollar in the vain
hope of recouping their fortunes in turn of
the wheel. Hundreds are now without
money, homeless and landless. Returning
boomers are heading their way back to their
former homes as best they can. Many are
sic and without means to get medical at
tendance and are ombatting disease and
poverty.
Should winter set in in earnest the situa-
ton of these poor people would be deplor-
able in the extreme.

gh.ym.n and voorhees, on Bonds.


WAsHrxeros, d. c.. October M.-In the
senate Senator Sherman referred TO the
depleted condition of the treasury and the
invasion of the gold reserve, which was now
reduced to about $50, 100000. To rectify the
trouble he advocated the instance of bonds
which he held the secretary of the treasury
had not the authority to do unless by sane
ton of congress. He had heard talk OF the
president taking action hereafter TO meet
financial difficulty. He was tired of such
talk. for the president had no right to take
any action regarding the finances OF the
country. Only the secretary could do so.
After the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law the people would find that it was
not the germ of all evil. He considered it
unwise to offer as amendment to the pend
ing bill an authority to sell bonds and he
would not do so. He had read, however, q
proposition for the sale of per cent. bonds
to the total of SOC, 000, 900 as the method be
would suggest to give relief.
Senator Voorhees,, in reply to Senator
Sherman, said that he would oppose. the
issue of bonds at this time. He would also
oppose Senator Buffers state bank tax re-
peal. He was for it as separate bill but
not as an amendment to this BILL. when
Secretary Carlisle. great lawyer told him
that he had authority to issue bonds he be-
lieved it, The senator from Ohio was right
in some of his positions. Provisions ought
to be made for bonds of shorter date and
lower interest.

Shall the Majority Rule.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 25.-It was
announced that the silver men were ready to
surrender Internationally; then it was said
that the silver men had recognized their
forces. Then there was definite announce
ment that immediate change of the rules
would force a vote. And so on every hour
bringing new phase. The populist sena-
their hands, but all at once they changed
front.
Senators Palmer and Mcpherson and
other repeal senators had long conference
with the president. When he returned to
the senate chamber Palmer said he
thought cloture would be undertaken soon.
''It has come" he said, "to be a question
whether the majority shall rule; it is more
important than the financial question. We
shall have to have that fight out"
There is no installing the fact that many
of the silver democrats feel greatly relieved
that the compromise amendment is not to
be offered. They say they surrendered their
convictions to promote harmony and secure
settlement of the question and are more
than willing to have the administration take
the responsibility of not accepting settle
ment.
Some repeal senators, who have heretofore
stood stanchly by the administration, are
also criticizing the course which has been
pursued in the compromise matter by the
administration. The compromise senators,
however, are still laboring to secure the ma
jority of the democratic senators in favor of
compromise. One of them said they had
already secured thirty-six names.

Horses Poisoned by Castor Beans.

GUTHRIE, o. T., October 31.-The result
of lawsuit in this city should serve as
warning to all persons who raise or handle
castor beans to be careful about keeping
them separate from all other kinds OF grain
or feed. Sometime ago Joseph Baum, q
liveryman, bought a quantity OF oats Of
Messrs. Coyle & Smith, of this city. After
he had fed a portion Of the oats ga sfsis
horses were taken sick and sis OF them died.
An examination of the oats showed that
there were castor beans scattered all through
them and veterinaries declared that the
beans killed the horses. Baum at once
sued Coyle & Smith for $3.50 damages, and
the jury awarded him $3.50.

Old-timers in the trade nothing is mere nat
ural than to see hogs decline, and quite
sharply, the last half of October. November
opens the winter packing season, and it has
long been the policy of packers to start on
their winters work at as low range OF

Spreckles on Hawaii.

New YORK, October 26.-Claus Spreckles,
the sugar king, who has large interests in

about sugar interests and Hawaiian affairs.
II am opposed to stealing" he said, and
do not believe that might makes right. The
United States seized the Sandwich Islands
without any right to do so, and assumed
charge of affairs there. 1t is not because ]
have sugar industries there that I say this
policy was unjustifable. 1t was too much
like grabbing, and contrary therefore to the
spirit of fair play. If this government an
ticipated that England or Japan was after
Hawaii, mistake was made. / am sure the
English government did not seek to estab-
lish control over the group"
