Devoted Entirely TO the Lumber sched-
uIe and no Vote Reached
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The Senate
spent eight hours to-day discussing the
question OF free lumber. Not a vote
was taken. The tariff bill places lnm-
Der In the rough on the free list. The
debate to-day was upon Mr.. Hale's pro-
position TO transfer lumber TO
the dutiable list at the rates
fixed in the Mckinley law. Senators
Fry and Hale. OF Maine, and Perkins.
Of California; Mitchell and DoIph, OF
Oregon, whose States are most partleu-
larIy affected in the lumber industry,
occupied the major portion OF the time
in the support Of Mr.. Hale's amend
ment. II is probable that the lumber
paragraphs will be disposed OF toner
row. Sugar, upon which the hardest
fghting in the bill will occur, follows.

brought before Judge Gaynor In the
supreme Court on writ OF haoeas

on the ground that his arrest was illegal

decision says that there is no founda-
tlon for the contention that horse racing
is a lottery.
II is not a lottery either in common
speech or within legal definition. A
lottery depends on lot or chance, such
as the casting of lots, throwing OF dice
or the turning OF a wheel. In the
scheme OF this race. horse owners do
not pay q sun to win larger sum by
lot or chance but in order to enter

A Banker on MOnOmetalis,n.

A paper that will be read with great
interest by all who have made any study
OF the silver question is the Hon. Geo.
Wilson's criticism Of David A. Wells
arguments for monometalism in the De-
cember Arena. Mr.. Wilson is the presi-
dent of the oldest bank in Missouri, but
he writes from the standpoint of the BIZ
metalists and claims to have all the
weight of authority and history and CEN
turtles OF experience, in all countries, in
both hemispheres, in all ages, and under
all forms of government, on his side. 1t
is a paper that will be widely read and
discussed by all students of American
economic liter allure a d all readers of
current periodical literature, to which
Mr.. Wells is a frequent contributor, and
80 ID familiar to the general reading pub
lie. Those who enjoy a lively contro-
versy between two able ard acute minds
can turn to this paper certain of getting
an intellectual! exhIlaration.

WILLIAM l.. WILSON.

The game OF politics is a queer propo-
%sition, take it as you will. Its plots and
counter plots, its rewards and pdnish-
ments make a study for the man who is
not a part and parcel Of the gamble. In
these days patriotism often seems to be
sunk in self and the partisan forgets
country in search Of reward for his serv-
ices, real or imaginary. A case in point
is that Of William l.. Wilson, author OF
the Wilson tariff. Laying aside any at
tempt to discuss the merits of the meas.
ure which bears his name, Mr.. Wilson
finds that it has not only cost him his
seat in congress but that it is buried in
an avalanche Of popular disapproval.
Instead u accepting the fiat OF the peo-
pie and returning to tho practice Of his
profession and hiding his time in the
hope that his %vindication will come, he
is now engaged in an effort to make his
defeat a stepping stone to exalted hon
ors. He is flying for high game and, Gu

is compelled to discount a life, or,
rather, in making his calculations, to
cody anticipate a death and await the
decree OF nature. The last reports cay
that he is booked for the position OF
associate justice OF the supreme court,
though there is at present no vacancy

| will be given a reasonable time in which
| to die, and il he does not do 30, he will
DO asked to resign, in order that Mr.
Wilson may take his place. What 6
commentary this is on u eystem. II
may be said that Mr.. Wilson is an able
j%urist; he probably ia, but the fact re
mains that il he is appointed to the high
Office, it will be q reward for party ser
vices that we're not appreciated by hi
neighbors and constituents, and not OF
his merits az a lawyer. Truly politics il
a queer game.

THE COPPEK SITUATION.

Those who read the report OF the cop
per market, taken from the New York
Mining and Engineering Journal, and
from Lewis Il Sons, Liverpool, as pub
lished in The tribune yesterday, could
not but have observed that both the
authorities agree on n essential point,
viz: that there is and has been for some
time a proposition pending between the
great producers OF copper to limit pro-
duction in order to stifTen the market.
The Liverpool firm, speaking on the sub.
ject, says; 'In the absence from New
York OF the representatives OF the com
pany most largely interested no definite
settlement has yet been made" The
TRIBUNE has no more information on the
subject than has either the New York
paper or the London firm, who are
quoted, but it is a safe guess that the
company most LARGELY Interested is the
Anaconda company, and the lesser ones
are the Boston syndicate, which includes
the Lake Superior mines,and WA. Clark,
who owns the Arizona mines. 1t may be
that the Anaconda company is ready to
agree to a limit, but advices from Butte
are to the effect that it has made ar
engagements to open up and operate large
properties in the Camp Creek district,
and this would not indicate a reduction
Of product, unless the mines at Butte
are to be closed down. This may be the
case, or it may be that Mr.. IIaggin pro
poses to produce AZ much copper as he
sees fit and market it without re-
gard to the wishes or interest OF
his business rivals. lie is the master OF
the situation and can do ust AZ he seee
fit without consulting the people OF
Butte or the distinguished band Of Bos.
ton gentlemen. The latter are the men
who in vain tried to induce the Anaconda
company to reduce the wages OF miners
and then shamefully denied it in the
interest OF Helena, and many OF the
miners OF Butte took the word OF Mr.
Bigelow Of Boston in preference" to that
OF Mr.. DAILY Of Anaconda upon the sub
ject. 1t is of course a business PROPOSE
ton all around, but it is very certain
that Mr.. Haggin can do as he secs I'll
and does not need to enter into any com
bi%nations,

a DIIEM MA.

That the overwhelming majority which
the republicans will have in the next
congress 10 likely to prove a boomerang
is conceded by the most astute members
Of the party. 1t might be different il
they had a distinct object in view that
would ensure cohesion, but they have
not. They are at sea. In view Of this
state OF affairs the New York World
suggests it might be a good idea from a
political point OF view for President
Cleveland to call the new congress to-
gether on the 4th OF March next and
then asks: Will the Republicans try to
restore the Mckinley law? Will they
pass another force bill? Will they add
another 3GO,OCO,OOO to the pensions:
VII they resume silver purchases or
increase silver coinage?
Whether the suggestion ia a good one
it has some political merit, but the
World must not be too sure that if they
had the opportunity the republicans
might not make an effort to solve the
silver problem. The party, it is true, ie
committed against FREQ coinage, but the
trend OF sentiment ls growing 80 fast in
the free coinage direction that there il
no telling but that advantage would be
taken Of the occasion by them. 1t is a
party OF desperate courage. and might
be willing to sacrifice a principle upon
which there is a division to secure power
upon which there IL a unity OF sentiment
The TRIBUNE would like to see the
extra session called and the republicans
put to the test on the coinage question,
for With the MASSES it ls the paramount
issue, and it makes but little difference
10 US by what political agency it is &C.

r. A. Ammon of the Gilt Edge Min
ing company, arrived here Monday
from. Gilt Edge and said to a TRIBUNE
reporter that he had given instructions
prior to leaving the camp to set about 30
men at work in the mine. He brought
with him a small gold bar for shipment.
De states that the coal which has been
discovered on the property Of the COM
pany is Of excellent quality and cokes
we'll, and that it is the intention OF the
company to put up a small coke plant
and make them own coke in the future.
The affairs OF the company he says are
now all practically Strengthened out and
he expects to 60 ahead with the deveI-
opment OF the property and demonstrate
that it is n OF the best paying gold
properties in the state.

who propose to engage in business in

Ter, u Of the old time newspapers Of the

without saying, for that is his object in

for his enterprise, for Boston ia a great

CREE

The county officials Of Fiathead have
again raised the question OF how to get
rid Of the bands Of Cree Indians who are
roaming around that section, and have
appealed to the governor to AID them.
These pests, who are refugees from the
Domlnion, have for years been tramping
over Montana, violating laws and com
hitting dcpredatlons to such an extent
a nuisance bat dangerous. Several
years ago a band Of them invaded Silver
bow county, and the result that they
cost the county between 5000 and 3d.
900 because Of a contagious disease
breaking out in their camp, which had
to be 4uarantined, and also because Of
the trial u one Of the bucks for the muir
der OF another. At that time the ques
ton OF what to do with them was re-
vived and a long correspondence took
place between the state and federal au-
thorities. which accomplished nothing,
and the Indians remained, subject to no
law but their own sweet will. II seenge
remarkable that there is no power ia the
government TO protect the people against
these invaders, but that being the case
it will be in order for the citizens OF
Flathead 10 be & law unto themselves
and drive the thieves across the border
with instructions not 10 return.

A SCHEME.

During the latter days Of the campaign
there was issued from Helena rather a
pretentious document setting forth the
necessity for the reclamation OF arid
lands by irrigation, the canals to be
built by the state, and pledging the
Lewis and Clarke delegation IN the leg
islature to introduce and urge the pas
sage Of an act to carry the scheme into
effect. 1t was at first supposed that the
scheme WAS only a campaign dodge, but
a few days e the following appeared in
one Of the st. Paul paper:
IAN elaborate system of irrigatipg
canals has been planned for western
Montana, the district to be irrigated
being all that country that lies in the
foothills along both sides of the Missouri
and or the Prickly Pear, the Bitter
Root, and the Sun rivers, as well as fur
ther south on the Yellowstone and Beav
erhead. Districts comprising millions
Of acres would be made to blossom and
support a dense population by means Of
these canals. 1t is proposed that the
state shall construct these waterways,
issuing bonds for the purpose, and shall
recoup itself by a fee from settlers who
may use the water; and it has been COM
puted that there will be an actual reve-
ue from the water, even when sold at a
low cost, that will fully justify the out
lay. Water is the need in Montana ag-
rlculture and experience has fully proved
that with it there is no failure OF crops
and an abundant yield. The carrying
out Of these projects, though they may
entail great cost, would seem to be JUS
tilted, and it is certain that Montana can
never reach the f%ullneas of it's develop
ment until something OF the kind is
DONE"
From this it would appear that the
state irrigation plan is to be
urged by the Helena gentlemen,
and in it they will naturally be
aided by the Northern Pacific lobby.
Reference will be made to this subject
later, but in the meantime legislators are
asked to remember that the Northern
Pacific railroad owns in Montana every
alternate section Of land for fifty miles
on each side of its road, and that in any
system Of irrigation large sections OF
this land must be greatly benefited. In
other words, every acre Of this land that
is put under irrigation will be worth
double what it is today. Look out for
the scheme,

and afforking him an opportunity oil

Helena concluded she had cancelled ali
obligations to Mr.. Clark. Next on the
list in the esteem and gratitude Of Hell.
ena were the towns Of Missoula and
Livingston, but Helena has taken a very
different method of evincing her appre'
citation OF the services rendered her by
these communities. According to the
Evening Telegram this is the shape il
will take. Says the Telegram: "Infor.
nation from semi official sources is Of a
character to warrant the prediction tina,
the g future will see active steps
being taken to consolidate the Living
ston and Missoula (Northern Pacific)
shops Ia Helena. Color is given the -
port OF the prospective removal Of these
shops to Helena by the fact that a few
days ago the master mechanics OF the
Rocky Mountain and Montana divisions,
the superintendent Of motive power of
the Northern Pacific system, and other
prominent officials OF the road met in
this city and devoted considerable time
to looking over the company's grounds
in and about the Helena yards. The
Livingston shops employ from 300 to $50
men and the Missoula shops about half
that number, ald their consolidation at
this point will mean an appreciable in
crease in the amount of money circu.
lated here every month and add mate
rally to the prosperity and Importance
OF Helena as a railroad center"
What do the people OF Missoula and
Livingston think Of it? Still they have
no just cause Of complaint. Helena's
record was before them when they cast
their votes. and il they were foolish
enough to take Helena's word for any
thing no one is to blame but themselves.
Fort Missoula and Fort Keogh will go
next, and in the meantime in its work Of
Helena will be looking
around for fresh fields to conquer.

character Of q religious feud. Without
ASSUMING to say that the religious ques-
ton is responsible for the removal OF the
librarian the indications are that it has
played SON part in it, and The TRIB-
IN expresses the sincere wish that the
effort Of every loyal citizen will be put
forth to nip in the bud any such feeling.
As a rule the men who take the most
prominent part in q religious-political
movement have no religion, and the good
sense Of the community should assert
itself and insist that they be not allowed
to ~endanger the peace and welfare by
engaging in a strife which, if carried on,
cannot but result in serious injury to all.
