Tho Gesry Law Inoper.tive.


II may be taken a. a favor OF fortune
that the statesmen who framed the Geary
law and put ii through congress forgot to
attach to IL an appropriation of money,
making ita execution possible. They have
thus relieved the president OF the duty Of
doing what he would have had to do had the
necessary means been give him. The In
generation aad deportation of hun
drsd thousand Chinese would require
the expenditure OF millions. while NOT a
dollar has been appropriated for the pur-
pose. and AZ the constitution does not per-
init tho ! resident to draw monev from thc
treasury "but in consequence OF appropria-
tions made by law" he can use no public
funds for the enforcement Of the Geary
law. for which no appropriation has been
made. The demagogues may fume and
threaten. but they cannot compel the presi-
dent to violate Fundamental law OF
our constitutional government for the
purpose Of executing . legislative
not the execution Of which was not pro-
vided for. Thus we may at least escape
the disRr ace of seeing practically consum-
mated by executive act. in tho name Of the
American people. that which the American
people are heartily ashamed of; for IL is
hardly TO be assumed that the new congress
will leave the Geary law on the statute
book or even vote money for its enforce
ment in the face Of the public sentiment
which in the mean time has made itself
heard against il, and which, whom aroused.

FIGHT

The slight rise in silver yesterday
the fact that the market is entirely
controlled by gold manipulators. 1t was
very likely intended as sop to the free
silver men, in the hope that they would
le. up in their new determination to
fight it out to the finish in the halls of
congress-. The next quotation will be
up or down, just as the gold bugs say.
The silver men of Montana must not be
deluded into the belief that the pro-
gramme Is any other than the wiping
out OF silver interests by the uncom pro-
missing repeal Of the Sherman law. This
contest must be met by Montanians.
The voice Of silver must be heard from
ono end OF this land to the other. JUS
tice must be preached in every nook
and corner where men are toiling for
their bread. tits fight against class
that seeks to humble every worker to
the duet and draw tribute from his
earnings.
1t is hoped that this situation is so
appreciated that every city and camp in
Montana will send great delegations to
the convention in Helena this week.
Montana then begins her fight in earn
est, and it must be started with that en-
ergy and enthusiasm characteristic OF
her people.
They must arise like great army to
defend the fold of labor from the gold
bugs.

STAND N your NEWSPAPERS


The Butte Inter Mountain, in these
days when inconsiderate business men
are Withdrawing their support from the
newspapers, has this to say:
snow il the time for the people Of
Butte to stand by the local press, which
- doing everything in its power to aid
Ia the protection Of their vital interests
and which furnishes the only medium
through which those interests can be
presented TO the world. The business
mon Of Butte in particular should sup
port the newspapers. In a case like
this It is poor economy to starve the
soldiers that are defending the garri-
son." 9H
Very sound and wholesome advice!
This is time, above all other times,
when the business men Of Montana
need q strong and sturdy press to main
tain their rights before the world. They
cannot afford to cripple it and impair
its influence by giving it halt-hearted
support or no support at all.
There isn't newspaper in Montana
that is not in advance Of its community
"a better newspaper than, az bus
mess proposition, it can afford to be.
II may be said that every newspaper
should be business proposition, but
that is not true. In new country the
newspaper to be anything at all must be
ahead Of the country-a clear and ring
ing voice crying in the wilderness and
leading the way for the founders of
empires. The newspapers Of Montana
are it's pioneers, it's pathfinders, it's up
builders. In times Of prosperity and
abundance they carry to the world the
tldinRs that bring more wealth and i'm
migration to our borders; in times of
depression they throw light on the
clouds and bring cheer to the hearts Of
their readers; in times of doubt and
trouble they are the stanch and loyal
defenders of their state and it's every
interest.
II every newspaper in Montana were
to suspend publication to-day, and all
of them might, so far as getting any re-
turn on the money invested in them is
concerned, the people in every oommun-
ity would start them anew by popular
subscription and keep them alive at
public expense. A town without a |
newspaper might as we'll be blotted |
from the map.
The newspapers Of Montana are not
mendicants, they are not objects OF
charity. They give to their respective
communities tenfold more than they re- |
ceive. They are willing to continue in |
80 doing. All they ask, in times like
these. is that their constituencies will
consider these things. u...

IT is OK passing interest to know that
but ten extra sessions Of congress have
been called since George Washington
was president. John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, William Henry Harrison,
Franklin Pierce and Martin Van Buren,
called extra sessions, while James Mad
ison and Rutherford b. Hayes each
called two sessions. At the last the
Bland bill was passed, but the others
we're for questions of moment, like the
raising Of troops, munitions of war, ap-
preparations, and the settlement of dis

Our French Canadian Competitors,


1t is clear that the mass OF Canadians
who ere settled in New England are not
rapidly becoming pro arietors of the soil,
their holdings. according to their own re-
ports, being very much below the average
per capita assessed valuations in the six
stnten, as appears from the census of 1890,
They remain operatives in the milla md
factories. A faw Of them are storekeepers:
fewer still are physicians and lawyera. Re
Gently the French Canadian press in the
United States. and especially in New Eng
land, has rapidly developed. This ia a
pretty sure sign that the active politicians
are taking decided interest in the French
Canadian vote. and are prepared to avail
themselves of the customary electioneerinr
methods for the pu pose OF scouting it,
In 1887 there were in New England 1G. aO6
french Canadian voters: in 1889 the num-
Der had increased to Is, ,465; in 1891 it had
grown to be 33, GG3. In every one of the siy
staten, except Vermont, votes equal in num
Der to the solid French Canadian vote would
suffice to reverse tho political supremacy if
they should be transferred from the pre-
vailina party to the minority. In the presi-
dental election just held this vote played
an important part esrecially in Massachu-
setts. L. is said that most of ths French-
Canadians voted foe the democratic can
dIdate because of the injuries inflicted on
the farmers OF Quebec by the Mckinley
tariff However that may be. it is the fact
that the French-Canadian vote was q mat
ter of much solicitude to the politicians of
both parties, and it is its growing import
ancs IN American politics that makes tho
immigration of interest to this county,

Now THAT the summer trout season is
open, we would again urge ranchmen to
protect fish from Wholesale slaughter by
placing screens before irrigating bitches.
The cost is but n trihe compared with
the Importance of preserving the royal
sport. Our streams are.now splendidly
stocked, and SO long as the fun ls kept
within honest limits there will be no
complaints. One open irrigating ditch
will, however, destroy more fish than
can be caught in ten years with rod

SMALL fires are altogether too num-
erous in Helena. Two alarms yesterday
afternoon brought out the department,
though fortunately the damage was
small. Carelessness is the cause in the
majority Of instances and can usually be
traced to piles Of rubbish left about the
premises. Helena has been very for
tunate in the matter of fires, but the
good record may be broken if our citi-
zens do not obey the city ordinance re-
lating to the rubbish nuisance.

So LONG as the copper market holds
firm Butte's greatest industry will be
all right. This is likely to continue, as
the agreement between producers has
been renewed. The closing Of the silver
mines in that camp will throw about
1000 men out OF employment, and it is
fitting therefore that they should be

IT is earnestly hoped that in justice
to the new states, congress will first set

TERRIBLE WIND STORM
Several Towns in Georgia Are Wiped
Out.
The Loss of Life Reported to BE Heavy
Details Are Hard to Obtain, as
the Wires Are All Down,

| COLUMBUS, Ga, March 4.-Last night
terrible windstorm swept across several
counties fifty miles north of Columbus,
doing great damage and causing consid-
cradle loss of life. The storm came from
the northwest and struck Greeneville, the
county seat, about $3.50, demolishing the
business portion of the town and many
dwellings. Thirty eight stores and dwell
ings are reported blown down and but
three business houses IN the whole town
were left intact, every house being dam
aged to greater or less extent. Only one
person was killed and none injured.
Odessa, small town near Greeneville is
reported completely swept away and six
persons killed.
At Woodbury., ten miles east OF Greene
vile, houses were blown down and trees
uprooted, but no lives were lost. Near
Woodbury., however, two negroes and one
white child were killed and many are re-
ported seriously injured.
At Molenau a church, academy, plan
| ing mill, two stores and several residences
were blown down and five lives were lost,
white woman, Mrs. Fell, and four me-
groes.
Telegraph wires are down, trains are
delayed and but meagre information can
be obtained. Adyices from Piedmont,
near Molenau, report only two houses out
of twenty standing A lady named Haw-
kins was killed and her parents injured.
Almost everyone in town suffered some
injury. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage at this time. !"

motion was granted, the attorneys for the

There are nine mines involved, several
of them being the richest in the camp. A
large force of men will be put to work at
once, and as large number of other
mine owners will now take heart on ac-
count of the turn the case has taken, La
Plata may and will soon be on the boom

amount of very valuable ore on the dump
which has already been purchased by st.
Louis parties. The necessary bonds and
papers in the case will be filed on Monday.
