PARK HURST ON TAMMANY.

Whatever opinions anyone may have
Of the ways of DR.. G. II. Parkhurst, his
preaching and his crusades, this learned
divine will be pardoned If he expresses
considerable satisfaction over what has
befallen Tammany. No such determined
and relentless war has ever been made
in America by a member Of the clergy
and his helpers. The attack has been
fierce and all along the line. DR.. Park
hurst o writes to the New York World:
"The event is more thrilling than any
thing l can say about it. Tammany a
back number! Not only dead, but dead
beyond revival. Not only buried, but
buried beyond the reach of resurrection
1t will take some days for us to rally to
the point Of being able to take in the situa-
ton. The issue demonstrates that mum.
cipal government 10 still an American
possibility, and that Martins and Nc
Clayes and DIVERS and all that foul
brood are not a necessity of city govern
ment in our country" The problem Of
how to purify municipal government in
this country has been and is a serious
one. Any nan who takes the humblest
part in solving it merits praise from all
men with good purposes for better
things.
Extravagant jobbery has been the
curse of American cities without num-
Der, for with it lie invariably coupled
the most vicious of the vices. 1t is no
wonder that sometimes party lines vanish
in the indignation of men and women,
fearful for the integrity of the i%nstitu-
tions that must succeed or government
by the people is a failure. Whenever
evil goes down before such q movement
the effort merits applause, however much
method may be questioned.

The new steamer st. Louis which Mrs,
Cleveland christened a few days age
with American wine is a monster. The
great chip will have accommodations for
800 first class passengers, 200 second
class and about 800 Storage. She will
have six decks. Five Of these are laid
and the only one remaining to be laid is
the hurricane or bridge deck, which
forms the roofs Of the houses on the
promenade deck. The promenade deck
extends the whole length Of the vessel
without a break. All of the decks will
be covered with wood p~lanking. The
vessel is fitted with every room and com
partment necessary in this age of con
venience and luxury. These are the
library, the grand dining room, the quar-
tiers of the officers, the passengers and
the ~dispsnsary, the DOCTORS, stewards
and various other offices, pantries, sa.
loon, drawing rooms, barber shop, smok-
ing room, ladies' cabin and hospitals.
Milwaukee may be pardoned il she is
jealous Of the new glory that has come
to st. Louis.

CARLISLE'S CALL OUT,

1t makes mighty little difference to
the average citizen Of the United States
whether MIR. Cleveland or Mr.. Carlisle
is responsible for another bond issue.
The important fact in connection is that
the mass Of the people are opposed to
such a move first, last and all the time.
1t is entirely probable that this issue
will be more unpopular than the n Of
some months ago. While the force Of
the panic was upon US there we're a
good many people inclined to excuse the
selling of bonds who will be outspoken
against the treasury getting a lift from
Wall street every few months. This is
not a party question, and the administIa-
ton is not selling bonds because the
rank and file Of the democratic party be-
lieve that this is the proper thing to do.
The people want to have something
done for silver, and by and by they will
have their way about it, in spite Of the
men who go down to Washington every
few weeks to persuade the president that
the credit of the government will 60 to
the dogs in twenty. four hours if the Sec
rotary of the treasury doesn't borrow an
other stack of gold. The following is the
secretary's circular calling for bids:
"By virtue of the authority contained

to Provide for the Resumption Of Specie

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

The board OF trade that it
will hold u meeting next Wednesday
to start up it's work for the year 1895.
This ia right. The board Of trade, in
spite of many discouragements has done
a great deal of faithful and efficient
work in bringing to the attention Of
outside investors the natural resources
and advantages Of Great Falls. 1t has
distributed and is still distributing
thousands OF circulars through the
East giving a faithful account Of
the opportunities offered by this sec
ton for the investment of money
and the development Of its natura
riches. These documents have
not by any means been barren Of resultl
and letters are received almost every da,
from those who have received them
making more minute inquiries with ref
erence to some particular industry. Tn
board is now in correspondence witt
half a dozen gentlemen, representing
parties who are thinking Of locating ney
labor employing industries here, and |

reached a point where it appears NOR

THE GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE.

Intensely interesting, important and
withal significant is the report by the
investigating commission to the United
States government on the great railway
troubles OF last summer centering in
Pullman and Chicago. The telegraphic
summary is so comprehensive that about
every important point at issue, which
invites general discussion, is touched
upon. 1t throws a great light upon the
methods of the now famous General
Managers association and refutes a good
share of the i~ncendiary reports assidu-
ously circulated in exciting times against
the American Railway union and it's
officials. What an enormous centraliza-
ton of wealth and power there is in the
Managers's association appears in one Of
the opening assertions to the effect that
the capitalization Of the twenty-four
railroads represented reaches the total
of 81, 10S ,552,6l7. Indeed, the closely
following statement that the number Of
employees involved was 22l,O97 seems
small by comparison
One exceedingly interesting question
is how far the Managers association
itself has acted within the law, and we
quote at length from that portion of the
report which deals with this point: "The
commission questions whether any legal
authority, statutory or otherwise, can be
found to Justify some of the features Of
the association which have come to light
IN this investigation. II WI regard its
practical working rather than it's profes
sions as expressed in the constitution,
the General Managers association has
no more standing in law than the old
Trunk Line pool. 1t cannot corporate
| because the railroad charters do not
authorize the roads to form corporations
or associations to fix dates for services or
wages, nor to force their acceptance, nor
to battle with strikers. 1t is a usurpa-
ton of power not granted. II such an
association is necessary from a business
or economic standpoint, the right to form
and maintain it must come from the
state that granted its charter. In theory
the corporations are limited to the powers
granted, either directly or by clear in.
ference. We do not think the power has
been granted in either way in this case
The association is an illustration Of the
persistent and shrewdly disguised plar

and their legislatures. An extension O

The st. Louis Republic doesn't think
that Missouri is quite ready to take ite
place in the republican column beside
Vermont. 1t says: Missouri is no more
republican, no more a doubtful state,
than it was in 1876 or 1892. When the
democratic voters, who never will vote q
republican ticket come out, as they will
in 1896 and thereafter, the republican
accidents Of an extraordinary year will
return to obscurity."

COMMON SENSE AND WORK.

There will be no all engrossing elec-
tons in 1895. 1t will be the year to build
up Great Falls. The winter is the time
to lay out the work. Great Falls has
now 30 far recovered from the conditions
holding her back a year ago, that there
are plenty of ways in which her interests
al be advanced. Enough feasible pro-
jects for advancing the interests of this
city have been given partial c~onsidera-
ton to engage the board Of trade or the
chamber Of commerce for weeks.
1t is all right to take a little breathing
spell after election, but the votes have all
been counted, enough time has been
spent in telling how it happened and the
sooner work is started along other lines
the earlier will results begin to show
themselves. Take up M enterprise and
put it through-this is the way to get
to the front. 1t is often as bad as doing
nothing when too many irons are put in
the fire at once. An hundred projects
on paper may not be worth fifteen cents
when it m to city building.
Let nothing be paraded before the
public that isn't practical, and let every
enterprise that will stand the test OF
common sense be kept moving to a finish,

the deficit for 1894 is S9,244,933. The
decrease of receipts was SS16,43i and the

within their law and prevent them from
forming unlawful and dangerous combi'
nations. At least 30 long as the rail
roads are thus permitted to combine I'd
fix wages and for their joint protection
it would be rank injustice to deny the
right of all labor upon the railroads to
unite for similar purposes.
at should be noted that until the
railroads set the example the great union
Of railroad employees was never attempt
ed. The unions had not gone beyond
enlisting the men upon the different sys'
TENS in separate trade organizations.
These neutralize and check each other
to some extent and have nc such scope
or capacity for good or evil as lie possible
under the general combination idea in
a%ugurated by the railroads and followed
by the American Railway union. The
refusal of the General Managers associ-
alton to recognize and deal with such a
combination of labor as the American
Railway union seems arrogant and alb
surd when We consider its standing be-
fore the law, Its assumptions, and its
past and obviously contemplated future
action"
1t will be noted how the position is
very strongly taken that the railroad
managers went into the wholesale organ
ization business long before the Ameri-
can Railway union was thought of-at
least long before the first steps we're
taken for carrying out the scheme.
Herein is considerable confirmation af-
forded to the claim advanced by the
A. r. U. leaders in the early part of this
year, that general organization on their
part was necessary to meet the aggres-
~sivenees Of the heads of two dozen rail-
way systems.
Taking up the Pullman part Of the
trouble the employees, while they are not
freed from all blame, get decidedly the
best of the conclusions. 1t appears that
under the regulations in force at Pull
mar previous to the strike even minis
trations of the gospel came too high for
ordinary people; the use of the library
had to be paid for; the physician served
the company in other ways than healing
the sick; the salaries of officials did not
go down with the wages Of the men in
works, neither did rents; the employe
who wanted to live outside of Pullman
was very apt to lose bis job; the officers
Of the A. r. U. are not found to have adj
vised violence or the destruction of prop
erty; the strikers at Pullman are cred
tied with having conducted themselves
in a manner worthy of the highest type
of American citizenship. Taken all in
all, the report is a vindication Of labor
organizations over and above what was
expected by the friends of unionism. 1t

The recommendation that a United
States strike commission be appointed
with duties and powers of investigation
and recommendation as to disputes be-
tween railways and their employees, SINH
lar to those invested in the interstate
commerce commission as to rates, opens
questions that should be given the best
