in the West for the last two weeks,
according to the latest advices, have
been broken. Beginning with u
quarrel between the car builders in
the Pullman shops and their elm
ployers, then transformed into a
fight between the American Railway
Union and the General Managers AS
ISOLATION, it finally eliminated
into conflict between tie .. 5. au-
thorities and an irresponsible mob.
That the workingmen had grievances
which ought to have been corrected
seems to have been true, but that
they led to evils which ought to have
been checked by the Federal author
tiles. no one doubts. and everyone
must approve the course of Mr.
Cleveland in exercising his authority
in that respect. There was no other
course left TO him than to Quell by
force the mobs which have already
DESTROYED millions Of dollars OF prop
ertv and caused the loss Of scores of
lives.

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The tariff
bill has been sent to the conference
committee. Tomorrow the final
struggle between the democrats OF
the House of Representatives ana
those of the Senate will begin.
What the outcome will be no one Is
willing to predict. There is a feeling
of confidence on the part OF the
House democrats that the bill Will
be improved. 1t will be thoroughly
revised, and unless the conferees from
the House are disappointed in all
their expectations, the bill will be
shorn of many features which render
it Objectionable to democrats both
in and out of Congress. There is
question, however, as to how far
Representative Wilson and his as
sociates. who are to represent the
cause of the people, will be able to
carry their work of reform. 1t Will
be a fight in which all the advanta-
ges are on the side of the Senate. AS
the body having final jurisdiction
over the bill, it is able to threaten
the absolute defeat of the party
policy in case its demands are not
complied with. ~
There can be little question that
all the influences which caused a
majority of the democrats OF the
Senate to turn their backs upon the
principles of tariff reform observed
| bv the House in order to follow the
conservative element of the party
will be brought to bear upon the
members Of the House committee.
The threats or promises, whichever
they were, that caused the adoption
OF the sugar schedule by the Senate
and the imposition of protective
duties upon both raw materials ana
finished products will find their way
through the closed doors of the con-
ference committee room and Will de-
mand hearing. In the opinion OF
democrstje S ifip "tti2EE tbnYergnce COM
mittee as they did in the Senate
These Senators believe that In the
unequal struggle abont to begin the
conferees from the House striving
for the redemption of party pledges
will not be able to change to any APP
preciable extent the compromise
schedules upon which the Senate
has agreed. Yet, strange to say,
most Of the men who indulge in such
gloomy foreboding are anxious TO
see the House succeed.
WASHINGTON. July 11.-Cries are
INDUCED in bymembers of the House
of Representative today that the
conference committee on the tariff
bill is yielding to the demands of the
Senate. This, like every other state
ment from the committee, must be
regarded as nothing more than a
rulmor. The truth, so far as can he
ascertained, seems to be that the
committee has made little progress
so far with the questions likely to
cause most controversy. The menu
bers have discussed them, and both
the Senate and House conferees
have expressed their views, but the
discussion, it Is understood, has re-
vealed such material differences that
the committee has considered it
advisable to dispose of smaller mat
ters before engaging in the unavoid-
able conflict over free raw materials
and the sugar schedule.

rnE INDUSTRIAL ARMY.

1t Is hard 70 learn from the nowspa-
per reports Of the organization and
march Of the various branches Of the
Industrial army, or Coxeys army. Just
what they expect 10 accomplish 10y
marching 70 the national capital. The
California wing Of the army was origin
ally said to have started east-to no
point in particular-for the purpose Of
looking for work. The Ohio wing, IN
der personal command OF Coxey, was
organized for the purpose Of going TO
Washington and making a demonstra-
ton IN favor Of the enactment Of laws
for the improvement Of the public roads
OF the country, thus giving employ
20 a great many thousands Of idle men;
money 10 pay for these improved high
ways TO be secured by issuing bonds.
Both wings Of the army seem to have
largely lost their original purposes, and
they now seem to be recruited almost
entirely from professional tramps,
who are on a sort Of holiday excursion.
In the ranks are doubtless some men
who would 20 very glad to find employ
ment, but there are also others who
have left good positions and fallen in
with the motley crews just for the fun
Of the trip. It will hardly be doubted
but that more men have left work TO
Join the army than have joined it for
the sincere purpose OF getting work.
There is very little probability that
the movement will accomplish any good
purpose. 1t will simply add 10 commu-
mites already sorely tried in supporting
their own unemployed great numbers
Of idle men who should properly be
taken care Of by the communities
whence they came. By massing in GER
tain localities the army will soon wear
out the patience and generosity Of the
people, always freely given to deserving
men honestly seeking work, but which
is properly withheld from tramps run
ming away from work. The place for
worthy iaboring man is among his
friends and neighbors, who may be re-
lied upon 10 exert themselves in his be-
half, who will divide their work with
him and who will relieve his necessities
in a friendly spirit, and not dole out pit
tances grudgingly, as charity badly be-
slowed
Above all. It is hard 10 understand
why the industrial army should march
to Washington. 1t is certainly the last
place to which an unemployed man
should 60. They can add nothing to
the store Of information already pos
sessed by congressman and senators as
TO the condition Of the laboriug men Of
the country. Congress isfully informed
on this point. II any member Of the
army has legislation TO propose it can be
done as well through the mails OF
through the newspapers, and at much
less expense. Looked at 10 any light il
Is difficult to conclude that any good
thing can come from tie march Of
Coxey's army

The Valley County Gazette remarks
that THE Helena municipal election
surprised THE HELENA INDEPENDENT il
not the democratic party" Well, not
exactly. This town has a republican
majority Of 300 to 500 We had hoped
republican business men and taxpayers
would not be humbugged by false cries
into making a national issue in a city
election, but Carter wanted to go to the
senate and 1t was necessary that he
should capture the municipal organiza-
ton this spring in order to lay pipe sue
cessfully against Power 1t appears
that a majority Of the voters preferred
Carter to Power, and lost sight OF the
necessity for close municipal manage
ment The INDEPENDENT has no partic-
ular fault to find. 1t will have its fun
next fall. when Carter and Power knock
one another out and the democrats get
away with the county.
