GreM Falls Leader.
The o: era house In Gieht Falls was built
in liberal spirit One of the promises
made TO subscribers was that 1t should be
opened TO all parties and to nll classes
under proper regulations. This promise
has been until recently kept. A few days
ago the agent Of Marcus Daf onted the
opera house until after Novem be-. with the
understanding that the lease was subject
to theatrical troupes, etc. A day or too
ago two members OF the Helena committee
asked for the use OF the house one evening
next week. They were surprised with the
answer thai they couldn't have il for any
rent whatever. The Anaconda newspapers
have had a great deal to say about the
HelenA hog but here lie q clear case Of The

Tho only Argument We have yet sesn pro-
dueOd for the removal OF the capital OF
Montana from Helena 10 Anaconda is be
oausr the Ansconda company 10 spending
considerable money In several sections Of
tho state. In other words IL is a,gued that
b,cpuse the Auaoouds company bnds II
profitable 10 employ large force Of men
in several seetionao Of Montana that ID should
be compensated therefor by removing the
cHpttal 10 its town In order 60 boom its
property. But this is a strange process Of
reasoning. II "a acknowledged by all that
IL would bo infinitely better for all con-
cernsd IL Helena should retain the perma-
nent eapitnl, aud yet these Same men say
that il must DO given to Anaconda because
the copper com! any fiuds IL profitable TO
run smplter plant mine coal. and copper
ore. This is strange reasoning. II there
wes one sina'e valid reason for the removal
the Anaconda company advocates would
not seem so absurd. and we venture the
prediction now that If Anaconda wins real
estate Of all kinds will decline 20 ior cent
throughout tho state as soon aa il is known.
II there was any sense in the proposition;
any argument whatever In favor of il. We
would not occupy so much space In dis
cushing il, but there lie none whatever.

pen. 1t Is impossible to foretell whether
an army OF idlers will actually concregate

der of any kind, and may be relied nnon

not expect any trouble, but deems the mat
ter worthy of serious consideration. He
says he will insist upon good order and cau
a halt upon the slightest approach tn a
breach OF the peace. He has looked mn

PRETTY NEAR DONE
Senate Committee Closing Up
on Wilson's Bill.
The Report to be Made on
Tuesday.
AT Least That is the Belief of
Statesmen on Both Sides.
Discussion, of the Administra-
tive Features.
A Number of Changes Ex-
pected.

WASHINGTON, March 1e.-Senators rep
fesenting both the Democratic and Repub-
lican sides of the senate committee on
finance expressed the opinion at the close
OF the committee meeting yesterday that
the bill would be reported to the senate on
Tuesday next. They stated, however, that
no agreement to this effect had been en-
tered into, but that the opinion was the
result of knowledge of the progress that
had been made upon the bill since the full
committee has been in possession of it.
The entire time of the meeting which con-
tinued from 10 a. m. until $3.50 p. m. was
devoted to that portion relating to the
methods of collecting the revenues in both
the taris and the internal revenue parts
of the bill, and it was announced at the
close that this part of the work had been
practically completed.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Hamlin was again with the Committee
during the afternoon for the purpose of
making suggestions and answering cues
tions as TO the operation of the various
provisions of the bill bearing upon its
administration by the department. When
the Republican members of the committee
withdrew the Democratic members went
into consultation upon the Suggestions
made by the Republican members They
bad discussed with the Republicans the
points made 10y them in full committee.
but found it necessary to hold 1t party
conference before announcing decision.
There are some indications that several
changes will be made in accordance with
the opinions advanced, and one of the Re-
publican members of thecommittee stated
last evening that he thought that practi-
cally all the changes suggested by them
would be adopted, which would. he said.
leave the administrative part of the bill
very similar to the Mckinley law.
The committee viii take up the sched-
uies at its meeting today, and il is pre-
sumed will devote itself to COS sidering
suggestions bearing upon various para
graphs OF the bill, which the members.
both Democrats and Republicans, may
think should be changed. The appear
ances now are that the Democrats will
have quite a large number of changes
which they will agree upon, and these
changes will include the transfer of a
number of articles to the free list which
were made dutiable in the senate bill be-
fore the sugar duty had been agreed upon.
The treasury department estimates make
1t appear that the bill will give larger
revenue than will be needed by the govern
ment, which will afford the committee an
opportunity TO make a greater number of
articles free than would have been possible
il the sugar duty had not been imposed.
