The latest from Gallatin valley ia to
the effect that Haggin's agents are tell
ing the people Of that valley that the
capital, IL removed TO Anaconda now, will
only be retained there for a couple OF
years and will then be moved over to
Three Forks. What do the people OF
the west side and OF Great Falls think
Of this? It's exactly in limo with Toole's
quoted remarks at Three Forks.
First they will move the "works"
then the capital, TO Three Forks. The
only thing that has not been promised
to some part OF the state IS the mine
itself, and the wonder is that they have
stopped before promising to move ii.
The actual promises on which the Paris
Gibson gang are working are shrewdly
suspected TO be the removal and CON
solidatlon Of all the educational institu-
tions to Great Falls. Will Missouln,
Bozemsn, Butte and other towns stand
in!

The Anaconda capital oampalgners
know that their fight is already lost
They can see il In tho changed aspect
OF affairs In every town from Dillon to
Havre and from Glondive to Thompson
Fails. For q time tho state was enter
tained 10y tho troaks Of tho Anaconda
campaigners-their thrilling romanees,
their Punch and Judy shows, their or
namentnl iags, and the protlgacy with
which they scattered abroad tho glitter
ing gold Of tho great Anaconda Mining
company. These things wero new de-
partures in Montana oanvasses, and
especially novel 10 q campaign Of such
serious momont as the location OF per-
mHnent state capital. Therefore the
people Of Montana looked on with moro
or less amusement earlier in the cam
paign, knowing full well there was
plenty OF time TO consider tho serious
points Of tho controversy later on-that
is IL there was any need for considera-
tion OF 80 potent fact as Helenas
superiority over Anaconda as o state
capital location. But because the Poo
pie laughed at Anaconda's absurditleo;
because some OF them drank her cham
pagne; because few hundred heelers
were found who were willing 10 help
equander the Doodle fund-because OF
these things the smelter city's cam
paigners imagined things were going
Anaconda's way. How different is their
belief ut the present time! Their jam
borse is over, their sober senses are re-
turning, and they see plainly now what
was apparent to nearly everybody else
long ago-that what wns mistaken even
by the Anaconda committee as awaken
ing sentiment in favor OF the smelter
city WINS Ecthing but the echoing shouts,
the noise and hubbub Of Anaconda's
own paid boomers. They did tho shout
ing while the people did the thinking
and are now getting ready to do the
voting. The stampede that was pre-
dicted for Anaconda is crawfish affair
that mikes headwsy in the wrong direc-
tiou. Nobody need be surprised II Hell
ena comes out OF the contest With 10000
votes more than majority.

Predictions have been made that IL
Montana votes its capital TO Anaconda,
and control Of it's government to the
corporation Of that name, the state will
soon lapse to the condition of Nevada
which 10 in many ways so situated.
There can be no doubt OF it. Immigra.
ton OF population will cease and influx
OF money be stopped, There will be no
openings for men who are bright and
ambitious because all avenues OF polti-
cal or business advancement will be oc-
cupied by creatures OF the corporation.
No man Of spirit will remain In the state
and submit to the dominant power when
il is possible 10 remove to a place insur-
ing freedom Of action and thought.
Outside capital will not undertake TO
compete with o monopoly introuched in
power and arIrod with the ability TO de-
stroy. Labor will shun a land where
the guua Of legal authority nre londed
and fired by the hand Of the employing
boss. The very name Of Montana will
be synonymous with the hiss and loath-
some embrace Of the corporation snake.
To what worse fate could this great
commonwealth be aubjeotedt
Neyadn is afrightiul example. Blessed
by nature with rich mines, fertile val.
loys, ample wnter supply and generous
and fruitful soil, her population (uever
largel is decreasing yearly, Her courts,

the English landlord votes his tenants.
There is no mistaking i.-the very foun-
dRtions Of society are being sapped be-
fore our eyes, while we ask how Is il
possible that such government as this,
with its railroads, its daily newspapers
and electric telegraph should ever be
destroyed?
Though We may not speak it openly,
the general faith in republican institu-
tions is narrowing and weakening.
Thoughtful men are beginning TO see
the dangers without seeing how to re-
lieve them, and the people at large are
becoming used TO the growing corrup-
tions.
The most ominous political sigu to-day
is the growth Of sentiment which
either doubts the existence Of an honest
man or looks upon him as fool for not
seizing his opportunities. That is to
say, the people themselves are becom-
ing corrupted Where this course leads
is clear TO whoever will think. As cor
ruption becomes chronic; as public
spirit is lost; as traditions Of honor,
virtue, patriotism are weakened; as law
is brought into contempt and reforms
become hopeless; then, in this fostering
mass will be generated volcanic forces
which shatter and rend when seeming

By Henry George
A government OF universal suffrage
and theoretical equality, may under con-
ditions which impel the change, most
readily become dospotism. For there,
despotism advances in the name and
with the might Of the people. The sin
gle source OF power once secured, every
thing is secured. There is no uafran-
chleed class 10 whom appeal may bo
made. No bulwark remains to stay the
food, no eminence 10 rise above il. A
mere aristocracY OF wealth will never
struggle while it can hope TO bribe.
Where there is no hered tary distinction
and men arc habltunlly seen 10 raise
themselves by corrupt qualities from tho
lowest places TO wealth and power, toll
erance OF these qualities finally becomes
admiration. A corrupt democratic gov
ernment must finally corrupt :he poo
