! The legislative COMMITTEES which, with
a large number of friends recently Wis
tied Billings for the purpose Of inspect
ing the eastern penitentiary, must have
captured the town in good shape and
performed the arduous duties assigned
to it to the satisfaction of the inhabi-
tants thereof, 1t happened that the
party reached Billings Sunday morning
and a cold Sunday at that-and in
referring to the guests the Yellowstone
Valley Recorder says: Tine best that we
had 10 hand was extended to them ard
the %resources of the Grand hotel, the
Billings club, and the churches we're
taxed to provide amusement and enter
tainment for the members and their
wives and lady friends"
This is all right as far az the hotel and
the club are concerned, but the church
part appears to be a doubtful compli-
ment to either the preachers or tho Wis.
itors. Just why and how the church
services amused thin is not stated, but
probably they we're there for fun anG
could enjoy themselves under any cir
cumstances. The last paragraph is
however, to the point and shows tina
Billings was up to snuff and looked ou'
for the old flag and al appropriation. l
says:
Their report will be in favor of al
appropriation adequate to the necessi
ties OF the year in completing and fur
: nishing the eastern state prison.
: To this there can be no objection. Tn
institution has been created by law,
needed, has been partially built, an
must be completed, no matter whethe
y the committee was amused during tn
10 occasion OF it's visit or not.

CLASS

An observer of the proceedings of the
legislative assembly as far as they have
progressed must be satisfied that the
reform element is a dominating influence.
He must also realize that there are vary
ing grades of reform and that in the eyes
of the legislators what is a crime for
some people to indulge in is an innocent
amusement when INDUCED in by others.
The anti-gambling law, which met
such universal approval in the state
senate, is a case in point. The law is
sweeping in its terms and prohibits
gambling in all forms by cards and other
devices, with the single exception of
draw poker. Now gambling is gambling,
no matter what the stake, and under the
provisions of this law, should they be
enforced, the ladies and gentlemen who
meet and play progressive whist and
euchre for a prize are subject to the
penalty. There is no question about
this, for there is a stake, and when there
is a stake it is gambling. In the face of
this the curious may ask why draw poker
was excepted. The answer is: 1t has
all the ear marks of the Montana club.
That expensive and distinguished institu-
ton is composed of gentlemen who enjoy
draw poker, though they boast that the
highest stakes are cigars or drinks. In
this club, it will be remembered, you are
pretty sure to meet two or three ex-
governors, half a dozen bankers, several
judges of the federal and state courts
and many prominent lawyers and mer-
chants" and here is where the fine Ital-
ian hand comes in. THE freedom of the
club is invariably extended to the mem
bers of the Legislature" The members of
the Legislature must have been hypno-
tized while enjoying this freedom, else
they would never have abandoned the
principle of reform and agreed to make
draw" a state institution and a privi-
legged game. Wherein is it any less a
gambling game than stud" or even the
despised craps
While or this subject of clubs and
class legislation it may be we'll to Q
ton that the members of the Montana
club admit that they gamble for cigars
and drinks, and this, of course, is proof
that the loser has to purchase and pay
for them. Yet when an amendment to
the license law requiring clubs to pay a
feat. Attention is called to these mat
tiers by The TRIBUNE, not that it is op-
posed to the anti-gambling law, but be-
cau.e there should be such a word in
the Legislative vocabulary as ''consis-
tency'. ard it should be spelled with a
big &C."

The Cree Indians were up for consider

question being on the adoption of a
memorial asking congress tor some legls.
lation by which the band could be
deported or controlled. The object of
the memorial is all right. These Crees are
not only d nuisance; they are in many
respects a menace, but there Is in the
memorial d most extraordinary clause. 1t
asks thet they be settled or a reservation
by themselves. Just why this should b.
done is not apparent. The present
policy of the government 10 dealing with
our own Indians is to abandon the reser-
Walton policy entirely and allot lands
in severalty. Ia the light Of this
policy it seems remarkable that
the Montana Legislature should ad-
vocate the assignment Of land to this
band Of foreign providers who have no
rights whatever IN the country and who
ara at best a gang of l%lmpuGeDt %trespass-
ers. There is something radically wrong
With our system and our laws when both
the state and national government adj
mIts that it mas 10 20 yer to protect the
citizens Of the state against these depre-
datyrs. II they were white refugees they
would be he'd amenable to the laws in
short order, but beng Indians they roam
at their oTn sweet will, do az they choose,
and laugh alike at the individual and
the authorities. 1t strikes The TRIBUNE
that as there is no law to reach the case
the proper thing to do is to enact one
and enforc. it without delay.

RIGGING THE QUE>TION.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press. which like
most of the Minnesota papers, is an
ardent advocate for gold and an enemy
Of silver, discusses in a recent issue an
article written by J, +. Vale Of Denver
and published in the Forum. 1t accuses
Mr.. Vale of being dishonest in using
free coinage and "bimetallism" as syn
onymous terms, and continues: THE
lists. Their own representatives in
congress nave stated deliberately that it
ia their purpose to reduce this country
to the silver basis. They do not deny
that this means that gold will go to 6
premium and disappear from clrcula'
ton. They admit it, and say that i
would be better 30. Whether thei'
opinion be right or wrong, their admis
sion fixes their position as silver mono
mstaIligts. Whatever else they ma.
clam, they have no right to so much a
ass the word "'bimetallism" in their ar
vpm.snt. Yet Mr.. Vale, who know
h@.tHr. rnly follows their invariable cur

USELESS BOAST.

Probably to make Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Carlisle feel good the Associated
Press has telegraphed from London an
interview with the Rothschilde in which
the great bankers state that the recent
United States loan has been a success
and three times the sum in bonds could
have been placed.
No beverage citizen Of the United States
expected anything to the contrary, al
though August Belmont, the representa-
tive of the Rothschilds in this country
tried, in an interview, to defend the con-
tract by declaring that there would be
delay, trouble, and expense in disposing
of the bonds. This statement was on it's
face an absurdlty and could only have
been made for the purpose of averting
the Just criticism of the public upon the
extraordinary conduct of the admins
tration in making the one-sided contract
and playing into the hands of the for
eign bankers. Why should not the
bonds have been speedily absorbed?
There is millions of idle money seeking
safe investment. These bonds pay 4 pei
cent interest while Paris rentes and
London c%onsols, which pay only 2 and
2ls per cent. are in demand at a pre-.
MUM. 1t will hardly be asserted by
anyone that the credit or esource Of
the United States are not ample to float
any bonds that may be issued in spite OF
the existing financial muddle.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The Butte chamber of commerce at a
recent meeting had a little medicine
talk over the question Of candidates for
school trustees at the election which is
to be held in April. Unfortunately for
Butte there is in that city considerable
bigotry and it has lately found express
sion on both sides of the fence. AS con
serva.ive men, having the best interests
of the city at heart. the gentlemen of the
chamber feel that this prejudice should
be frowned down. They realize that il
is Il menace to the business prosperity OF
the city. and if not checked will result
in material harm. They rightly argne
that it should have no place IN any Mon
tana community and especially in schoo.
matters, and they have decided to make
an effort to check it. To this end a
committee was appointed to confer with
other citizens and select two gentlemen
as candidates whose intelligence anc
probity would recommend them to al
who are not ignorant, proscriptive anc
hide-bound. BY this procedure they
hope to name a ticket to which there
will be no opposition. The gentlemen
are to be commended for the stand they
have taken and that they will succeed il
the sincere wish of every lover of Ameri
can institutions and especially the pub
lie school system.

Germany may be a little off on the
American meat proposition, but it is
sound on the silver question, and yester-
day another advance step was taken in
the repeal of the anti-Jesuit laws. The
German people are taking a hand in the
government, they are liberal in their
views, and they evidently realize that
prescription, especially religious pro-
scription, does not pay.

Pacific 3O3, 3O1 acres of land IN Montana.
This is in truth doing a land office bus
mess. There is some satisfaction to the
people in knowing that the mineral land
bill is retroactive, and that under it's
provisions, if passed, and it probably
will be, all the mineral lands in the limits
of these patents will be excepted, and
again become a part of the public
domain. For this at least there is great
reason to return thanks.

gold and not make gold superior to sill
YER. This position was most effectively
presented by Senator Teller when, in
discussing the administration bond bill
a few days ago, he said in effect that if
Cleveland were to that he
would pay the obligations of the govern
ment in silver the run on gold would
cease in a few hours and there would be
no panic. This is the view of the silver
men, who are just as able and as honest
as the gold men, and their opinions are
entitled to as much consideration. The
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Give free coinage a trial and see what
the result will be.

of that measure is the probable Of

Secretary Carlisle seems to be juggling
the books of the treasury in fine style.
He reports to congress that there is an
available balance of nearly S1OO,OOO,OOO
in the treasury, and that there will be
no deficit in current expense. In the
same letter he asks authority to issue
time bonds and sell them should a de-
ficiency occur. Mr.. Carlisle is not deal
ing fair with congress and the country.

Mr.. Carlisle has at last realized the
eternal fitness of things and threatened
to resign, at least so it is reported, but
on the heels Of the report comes a denial
supplemented with the statement that
MIR. Cleveland will not permit him to
retire. From this it would appear that
the president has better luck bulldozing
the secretary than he has bluffing con-
gress.
