THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
ADVANCE ~ LINE.
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY "a. 1898.

All interests represented in this city
will have to pull together for its future
advancement, and the opening of the
present season will be the best possible
time for concerted and united action.
All kinds of retail trade will begin to
improve just as soon as the country
roads are in good condition, as the farm
ers and ranchers will then come in for
their supplies. As the spring opens up
there will also be an influx of home
seekers from various sections, and of
men with capital looking for investment.
This will give an impetus to real estate
and the building trades.
Certainly there are few young cities in
the northwest that have SO much to en-
courage and give them confidence, as has
Great Falls. On all hands vast material
growth is apparent. Let us enumerate

HELENA, Feb. 21.-ISpecial TO THE
TRIBUNE. ALTHOUGH a desperate effort
has been made to select Il steering com
mittee" to pick out the most essential
bills from the mass that cannot be reach
ed, the present house will probably wear
on to its end without such Il committee.
One OF the characteristics Of the house
is Speaker Matthews. 1t is not his
fault that he never received any parlia-
mentary training, or that he has "A ser
ious imDediment in his speech, These
are simply his mlsfOrtuncs, but they
work Il singular and serious hardship on
the house. and on the state Of Montana
whenever Mr.. Matthews occupies the
position in which he was placed by his
fellow members.
Whereas it is customary for delibera-
tive bodies to select their best equipped,
the most able and skilled for their chair
man, the Montana house seems to have
been forced by stress of circumstances
to place in the chair a man who finds
tho duties a constant embarrassment to
himself and to the house over which he
presldes. The calibre of the man is il
lustrated by the anecdotes that are told
of him, and also by his WI actions in
the house. For instance when he was
elected to the speakership, they say he
telegraphed to his former home in Wales
that he had been elected Speaker of the
American parliament. OF curse this
was intended as a practical joke. 1t is
also related that the speaker keep; up
his reputation as a populist by keeping
in touch with the people. When he
wants a cigar, they say, he throws dice
with the boy at the cigar stand to sec
who shall treat.
But it is on the floor of the house,
when vice chairman Bray is in the chair,
that Speaker Matthews distinguishes
himself. Mr.. Graves of Silver Bow
moved the appointment of the steering
tcOmmittee." lie named five members to
act on this committee, disclaiming any
interest in any measure, and declaring
that any other five who might be selected
by the house would be equally satisfac,
tory, as his only wish was to expedite
business.
In a bitter and excited speech which
seemed to be entirely ~unprovoked, Mr..
Matthews impugned the motives of Mr.
Graves and charged him with having
some scheme on foot. His language
was most rude and insulting. Mr.
Graves is a republican and had evidently
incurred the speakers displeasure. lie
rose in his place and in a few well chosen
words denounced Mr.. Matthews remarks
as false and entirely unfounded. 1t was
clear to all that the speaker got the
worst of it, and nobody seemed to regret
his predicament.
An accurate delineation Of one days
doings here would be funny enough fol

The Armies of Europe.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
According to the Paris correspon-
dent of the New York Herald, who
has been gathering statistics on the
subject, the various nations OF Europe
have more than tripled the size of
their military establishments in the
last twenty-four years, not all in the
same proportion, but at that proper.
ton in the aggregate. The armies
of Russia and Italy are four times as
large in 1898 as they were in 1869 !;
those of little Greece and Servia, six
times greater. France, Germany and
Austria have multiplied their armies
by three, more or less. England has
done least of the great powers in this
direction, showing only an increase
from 100000 to $4,000. Yet while
Europe in 1869 had only 6,958,000
soldiers on war footing, her eigh-
teen powers, big and little, now have
22,24S,O00; and the burden Of ex-
pense has augmented accordingly
The support of this vast armament
devolves cost upon the people and
a drain upon the public resources of
more than $800,000,000, and yet
there are rulers in Europe who see,
or imagine they see, or for reasons
best known to themselves apprehend
a necessity for still larger armies and
still heavier taxation to subsist them.
1t must be confessed that under
these circumstances the outlook for
disarmament is not encouraging. If
it requires 100000 armed men to
preserve the peace Of the continent
in this year of our Lord, the reaiza-
ton of the dreams of those who are
looking forward to the ultimate set
Element of all international misunder-
standings and jealou8ies by arbitra-
ton is reserved for a period far be-
vond the ken of the present genera
ton.
In the mean time there are too
many old scores to be wiped out, too
many readjustments of the map of
Europe 20 be made, too many ambi-
tious schemes of conquest in the ORR
ent and elsewhere to be disposed of
to warrant the belief that the peace
is always to be preserved. Sooner
or later some sanguinary crisis in
affairs must come. 1t is not an IN
reasonable anticipation that it may
be precipitated by the people them
selves, wearied to desperation at last
by yoke that consoripts their man
hood and paralysss their prosperity.

guilt where it belonged. The city
council referred it to the police com
mittee to investigate and report
back. This police committee gave
only credence to the Judges state
ment, paid no attention to the aft
davits of the witnesses, and the
petition was quickly and summarily
dismissed.
Mr.. Higgins having failed to be
heard here, soon afterwards had a
circular printed and distributed in
Augusta, which was headed as fol-
lows:
GA PLEA FOR JUsr1cE-THE VIC
TIM OF a TYRANNoUs CoURr AP-
PEALs TO THE PEOPLE"
In this circular he set forth how
he had been treated, partially stated
his grievances and appealed to the
people for the justice he could not
get from their representatives. 1t
was a red hot circular, created some
little gossip, and even the Chronicle
woke UP and very laboriously poked
fun at it. From this circular we
clip the following concluding para
graph:
eff the people of Augusta fail to
do me justice, then I ask the people
of Georgia to investigate this wrong.
Have I deserved such treatment,
simply because T took my stand to
help the people to secure their
rights? 1t was for this that I was
fctitiously tried, inundated, robbed
by the law on the testimony Of a
noted periurer, and without any
charge against me cast into jail and
kept there like a felon until $500
was paid for my delivery. All l ask
is justice, and | appeal to the honest
men of Georgia to sustain me"
Mr.. Higgins is still very indignant
over the treatment he received, does
not have any idea of letting the mat
ter drop, continues to air it at inter
walls, and speaks in no uncertain
terms of the officials connected with
his traatnent.
Mr.. Higgins says that when he
went to see the Mayor about his
treatment day or two after the
trll ap7 made hls comnlaint' YER
bally, that official gave him tho tol-
lowing sentence of solace:
"Unfortunately man does not
always get justice in court"
Mr.. Higgins believes and states
that his experience animated not
from facts, neither was justified by
them, but was the natural results Of
the spleen they have against him be-
cause of Populistic views or Wat
sonism. He does not believe that it
would have been as it is if he had
been a moss back. DIoGENEs.

PEACEFUL REMEDIES.
Defyers Of Law ReWarded-Respec
Of Law Dcspised.

Lex Loci, in San Francisco Star.
A few years ago, when the ques-
ton of Chinese immigration became
simply a question of self-preservation
to the white Inhabitants of this coun-
try, and there was danger of the
wholesale massacre of the Chinese
population of the Pacific Coast as the
only available means for freeing our
selves from the curse, it was urged
that relief might be obtained by law
full and peacable methods. An ap-
peal was made to the country. We
did not ask for the deportation of
the Cinnamon already here, but only
that no more be permitted to come
Congress passed an act of ex-
clusion, and the people rejoiced for
no one doubted that the majesty of
the law would be maintained and the
onooming horde of cooie bondsmen
and murderous "hatchet-men" headed
off.
That is, no one Of the law-abiding
white population doubted that the
restrictive measure would prove ef-
fective. With them, obedience to
the mandates Of the constituted au-
thorities by these alien trespassers
was considered a matter of course.
They should be glad to remain on
any terms. But not SO thought the
Cinnamon. They despised our coun-
try and did not hesitate to defy its
laws. immigration was scarcely
checked. Bribery, perjury and fraud
of every kind were employed to de-
feat the intent of the law. Our IN
protected borders, both to the North
and the South, afforded admission to
thousands and, when once in the
country, there was no possible way
to detect the intruders, for they all

The COAST SHAKE.
AN EARTHQUAKE SHAKES THE
SEAROARD CITIES.
A Sharp Shock at Charleston, But No
Damage D0ne-Augusta, Savannah
and Brunswick Trembles

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 20.-A
slight earthquake shock moving from
the northwest to the southeast was
felt here at 11:054 precisely tonight.
First there was tremor, then a
faint roar and then came the wave.
The people got out of bed and ran
into the streets as they did in former
earthquake times.
A game of poker at the fashionable
Charleston Club was broken up, and
an opera troupe took the street in
great alarm. No damage to person
or property.
Some people are staying up all
night. On the night of August 81,
1886, Charleston was visited by the
famous earthquake, which ruined
many buildings and caused many
deaths under falling walls. That
shock came about 8 o'clock at night,
or rather the first one did. During
the night many other severe shocks
came, and, in fact, they continued
for months. Slight shocks are felt
here every few months, and it takes
a hard one to cause alarm and start
the natives running from their
homes. To-night's was more severe
than the average shock in the last
three or four years.
The accepted theory is that they
are caused by the slipping Of vast
parts of the strata lying beneath
this section.
QUITE SEVERE AT SAVANNAH.
SAVANNAH, GA, June 20.-An
earthquake shock was felt quite Sc
yerely here tonight. 1t lasted from
ten to fifteen seconds. Buildings all
over the city were shaken quite Sc
verely during that titae, but no
damage was done SO far as has been
learned. Telephone messages have
been received from all parts of the
city stating the shock was quite
distinctly felt. A message from Ty-
bee light stated that the people down
there were all awakened by the
earthquake ana were badly scared,
but no damage was done.
AT BRUNSWICK.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, juno 20.-At
II o'clock tonight an earthquake
passed under Brunswick.
At the Brunswick Club, Bruins
wick's swell resort, the members
dropped their pool and papers and
hurried down stairs.
At 10 o'clock tonight reports com
ing from all directions of the city,
report the shock to be perceptible in
every section.
LITTLE SCARE AT AUGUSTA.
AUGUSTA, GA, June 20.-Augusta
was shaken tonight by an earthquake
at 11.04 o'clock. 1t lasted several
seconds. It was quite severe and
generally felt. People rushed out
of their houses and lined the streets.
They were little frightened, but not
seriously, NJ damage was done.

THE SOCIALISTS WIN.
THE FEATURE IN GERMANY'S
REICHSTAG ELECTIONS.
Many Startling Surprises Recorded In
Berlin-WOmen Helped Anti-Sem-
ties and Socialist Democrats.

BERLIN, June 16.-At 2 o'clock
this morning returns from 70 dis
tricts indicate that Sc have been car
ried by parties opposed to the army
bill, Is have been carried for the par
ties favoring the bill, and 10 are in
doubt between the Government and
the opposition parties, with chances
in majority of them strongly IN IA
vor of the Government. The Gov
eminent parties have lost three of
their former seats, two to the Rich
terists, or Social Democrats, as the
second ballots shall decide, and one
to South German Democrat. The
Government has won one seat from
the opposition. The Social Demo-
Gratis have won two seats besides
having secured many chances for new
victories on the second ballot.
A curious feature of their two &C
complished victories in new fields is
that they won at the expense Of the
Richter Radicals, also enemies of the
army bill, and not, as was expected,
at the expense of the National Lib
erals, the friends of the bill. AL
though the Social Democratic gains
are undoubtedly enormous, they will
not prove SO large probably as the
reports so far have indicated.
The returns from the cities come
in first, and it is in the cities that the
Social Democrats always run best.
SOCIALIST MASS MEETINGS CLOSED.
The police of this city closed up
Socialist mass meetings at the Ger
manian Hall, the Tr1voi, the Con
cordia, the Elyseum and the Wedding
Hall, owing to overcrowdine, The
crowds poured, cheering, into the
streets, where they were quickly DIS
persed by the mounted police Dur
ing the day the Socialists distributed
half million handbills here. They
spent $4,000 marks in the Fifth Di-
vision alone-the largest sum ever
expended by single party in Berlin
constituency. The Conservatives and
Anti Semites also worked hard.

In Berlin not single candidate
pledged to support the army bill has
gained even the barren honor of a
ballot. The prospects Of Govern
ment majority seem to be vanishing.
Roughly speaking the Socialist vote
shows a great increase everywher.

o'clock this afternoon. The report
from but one district was then lack

may necessitate a few alterations, but
they will be trivial. The candidates
elected number 215; of these 1O1
will vote for the army bill and ia
against 1t.
In the following list, by parties,

As was expected, the latest re-
turns have increased steadily the list
of members upon which the govern
ment can rely for support. While
the victories Of the socialists Demo
Gratis have been regarded with alarm
upon the army bill, they will be more
than Offset by the loss Of Richter
radicals. After four hours in con-
ference yesterday afternoon, the
ministers who had met the chancel-
lor to discuss the results of the cleo
ton, declared that, in view of the
recent returns, it would be super
fuous and inexpedient to issue an
appeal to the country before the
second ballot. On Friday several
ministers favored this mode of arous-
ing the voters to support the govern
ment candidates, but yesterday only
two Of them were still in favor of
the plan. The great majority of the
ministers are confident that by means
of the conservatives, free conserva-
tivC.a and national clericals they can
secure a large number of seats at
the second ballots from the Rich
terists and clericals. They depend
upra the general alarm excited by
the social Democratic victories, to
drive the clerical and opposition

Every page of the January number
OF the Review of Reviews shows evidence
OF a freshness and touch with the very
latest movements of the day, such as no
other issue of any other magazine in the
world ever exhibited. The most couspic-
nous article is upon President Diaz and
the Mexico of Today" 1t bears every
mark of having been written; as the
publishers of the Review claim that it
actually was, since the fourth inaugural
tion of Diaz on the first day of December.
The frontispiece is fine portrait group
OF General Diaz and his full cabinet, who
gave special sitting at the request of
the Review of Reviews as late as Deem
Der 9th in the City OF Mexico. That
this, with great number of othe Mexi-
can portraits and pictures that accom-
pany the article, should be actually
published in monthly magazine in New
York, copies of which will be on sale in
Mexico itself as well as in San Francisco
on the first day of January is triumph
of editorial and mechanical celebrity that
no other periodical has yet attained.
The article IS an extremely interesting
one and covers wide range of political,
industrial and general information about
the most recedt Mexican affairs.
