A DILEM MA.

The county of Deer Lodge is just
now a victim of law or the lack OF it. 1t
has no county treasurer elect and it does
not know whether it will have one at all
after the term of the present incumbent
expires. At the November election Mr..
Hallihan received a large plurality of the
votes, but his election was contested on
the ground that some Formally of the
election law had not been complied with
in placing his name on the ballot. The
court held that the error was fatal and
that Mr.. Hallihan was not entitled to the
Office. The court also held that the con-
testaLt was not entitled to the office be-
he had not received the highest
number of votes cast as required. The
final conclusion was that the election
was void. Now the people of the
county want to know what they are
going to do about it, hold a new election
or continue the present incumbent in
default of a successor. The case is a
curious one and intensifies the growing
belief that the people could get along
with a little less law, and hat admin
ietered more in accord with the spirit
than the letter.

that they are exempt, yet in spite of this
Secretary Smith has permitted the

of ground, much of it known to be min
eral, and has announced that he will
issue patents for it at once. No n oh,

lands that belong to it, but it is right
fully asked that not a foot Of mineral
land be decided to it. All that Montana
asks is that the pending patents be not
issued until the character Of the land is
determined by examination. This Mr.
Smith refuses, and in the face Of his re-
fusal congress has been appealed to for
ar exercise Of its authority and the pas
sage Of an act preventing him from
doing the wrong. If the western men
hold together they can accomplish Just
what is needed for the west. but if they
play at cross-purposes their power for
good is gone and they will remain as
they have been-at the mercy of the east.

THE CODE.

The new Montana code has been rail.
roaded through the house of delegates
and will probably be accorded a like
speed in the senate and then receive the
approval of the governor. In the pass
age of this code all the safeguards
against hasty legislation have been ig-
nored, the rules for the government of
the legislature have been summary set
aside, and the spirit it not the letter of
the constitution infringed. 1t is beyond
question that no member of either
branch of the assembly has read or given
any consideration to these codes. They
are to them as a sealed book. 1t is ex-
planned that SO soon as they become a
law they will be open to certain amend
ments that are already known to be
necessary. This is. to say the least, a
doubtful procedure; but the members
SHIELD themselves behind the plea of ex-
pediency, and declare that it was the
best that could be done. One thing is
certain: with the passage of the code
Montana will have enough law to last 1t
for a year or two, and the Legislature
may as we'll pass the appropriation bills
and 60 home. If they attempt any of
the general legislation indicated by the
hundred bills already introduced
many of them will conflict with the new
code. and the gentlemen will follow the
example of the Indian chief who. upon
opening his council, announced: THE
law we made yesterday we repeal today"
This will be about the size of it..

SAVE THE N

The Legislative assembly has by joint
resolution authorized the governor to
employ special legal assistance to pre-.
vent the Northern Pacific from securing
patents to lands in this state. for which
the company has made application. 1t
would seem that this is a wise and
proper move. 1t is a matter that in
terests the state and all the citizens
thereof and the expenses should be paid
out Of the general fund. AS The
TRIBUNE understands the situation the
railroad has filed its application for
patents for lands in the several counties
Of the state, setting forth the land
claimed, and these applications are open
to contest by individuals or communi-
ties. Should contests be entered they
will at least have the effect of delaying
the issue of patents and this should be
done in the hope that congress will take
the matter in hand and pass the much
needed pending bill, providing for a
classification of the lands before any
patents are issued. Whatever is to be
done should be done quickly, and the
governor will do we'll to lose no time in
putting the resolution into effect.

TEXT BOOKS,

The Great Falls teachers have form
ulated and sent to the legislature their
opinion in regard 10 text books for the
public schools. The law requires that
at the present session the legislature
must adopt a series of books for use in
the schools and as a result publishers
and their agents are swarming in Helena
in the expectation of having their special
publications adopted. The chances are
that the legislators will know as little
OF the text books they may adopt as they
do OF the code which they have enacted.
In the latter case they took the Say 80
of the lawyers, and there is no reason
why in the former case they should not
TAKE the advice Of the teachers. They
are certainly competent judges. The
Great Falls teachers express the opinion
that with a few exceptions the books
now IN use meet all the requirements
and a radical change is not desirable.
This view will surely coincide with that
OF parents, no matter how it will strike
the legislators or how hard it will be
antagonized by the lobbyists. However,
the gentlemen charged with the duty
should get the best information possible
and then act.

A WAR CLOUD.

Mexico and Guatemala are on the eve
of a fight if late dispatches are to be
given any credence. This is a consum
nation most devoutly to be deplored.
The bone of contention is a strip of ter
ritory claimed by each as being within
its boundaries. This dispute can surely
be settled by arbitration, for as a matter
of fact even though a resort to arms is
had it will eventually be decided by ar
bitrators. Both the nations are warlike
enough ard from appearances are will
ling to test their prowess, but over
though they be we'll enough equipped
physically neither is in financial shape to
indulge in war, for that lie an expensive
luxury at best. 1t is to be hoped that
wise councils will prevail, the war cloud
disappear, and the contention honorabIy
arranged to the satisfaction of both sides.
This would be in accord with the spirit
of the age.

PRINCIPLE VS.. SPOiLS.

The few political friends of Wilbur f.
Sanders in Montana are crying over
spilled milk and urging that he should
have been elected to the sepatorship by
reason of the fact that he has been iden-
tilted with the republican party in the
state for many years. This may all be
true, but it in no wise proves his fitness
for the exalted position to which he
aspired and to which they sought to
elevate him. In the American system
party politics is a principle and it is the
duty of every citizen to take an active
part in a~ntagonizing Or defending the
material issues as they arise. This he
owes to himself and the community ia
which he resides as we'll as to the
political system under which he lives.
When he does this he is fulfilling an
obligation. no more and no less. When
he goes further and demands a reward
for the performance of this obligation
he places himself in an %equivocal
position. In effect he declares that
he was not governed by honest convic-
tions but that his motive was spolls, that
his party fealty and advocacy had no
foundation in patriotism but was builded
upon the hope Of reward, either pecuni-
airy or political. This is the position in
which the followers of Sanders are now
placing him, and it is not an enviahle
one. By their silly talk they are demon
strating that he was only a party man
for what there was in it, and while this
is no doubt true there is no reason why
should be advertised by his alleged
friends. Let the war COW" alone. Its
days of usefulness have passed, and let
it in silence chew the bitter cud of un-
gratefulness and ponder on what might
have been. The people of Montana are
content to know that they escaped the
calamity Of Sanders as sena-

HITCH.

The codes or what are left of them
have been finally railroaded through
both branches of the legislature and now
only require enrolment and the sigma
ture of the governor to put them into
effect. There is a division of sentiment
in the house as 10 whether the codes
should be enrolled in manuscript or
printed copies sent the governor for
approval. The first plan will entail con
siderable time and expense and does
not meet with favor. There is no reason
why it should. This whole code business
has been a travesty on legislation and
the house may as we'll play the string
out. Let the volumes as they were
originally printed go to the governor
and let him place his approval on the
cover or the fly leaf, as he may elect
This will be a fitting finale to the entire
proceeding.

THE WOOL MARK EFT,

From the Wool and Cattle Reporter of
Jan. "a, the following relative to the
Boston market is taken: "Nearly three
and one-halt million pounds of wool
have been sold this week. There is a
visible improvement in breadth of de-
mand. An improved feeling is quite
manifest. Manufacturers are taking
right along moderate quantities of vari-
Gus kinds OF wool, according to the kind
of fabric they are making. 1t is be-
lieved, when n considers that the
January. 1895, importations of foreign
cloths include three months consign-
ment delivered in one month, that the
bulk Of it and disposition of it thus far
is not such as to confirm the apprehen-
sions which where excited last fall con-
corning the effect Of these goods being

ability to retain their grip upon thei,
own market for such goods as they have
hitherto found it practicable to make

generality of our makers of mems weal

This indicates that in spite of the fret

RANDOLPH CHURCHILL.

After a brave battle against disease
Lord Randolph Churchill died in Lon.
don yesterday morning. In the death
of Lord Churchill England loses a citi
zen distinguished in more than one re-
spect. The representative of one of the
greatest houses in the realm his Inherent
qualities rather than the accident of
birth gave him reputation. A social
leader by reason of his rank, he supple
mented that with an education that gave
him in early years a literary reputation,
and then he entered politics in which he
gave promise Of being a leader. Sin
gularly enough though born a lord he
espoused the liberal cause and was for a
time one of the most brilliant and
trusted of Gladstone's lieutenants. This
may be accounted for by the fact that
he married an American woman, Miss
Jerome, the daughter of the rich New
\ ork banker. She was ambitious for
his political success and may have infiu-
enced him in his choice of parties, but
certain it is she was a valuable aid to
him in his early contests on the hust-
ings. Just, however, when he had
reached eminence in public life, what
may be called his blue blood asserted it.
self; he lacked the nerve to follow Glad
stone in the home rule movement, and
lost what prestige be had gained by des-
the liberals. Since then he has
been one OF a coterie of what may be
called middlemen in English politics,
lacking the courage of the liberals and
with too much progressive spirit to train
with tories, From the very nature of
their following was small and
their influence less. Added to political
mistakes came ill health, and now at the
early age of 46 years Lord Churchill has
gone to his grave, to an extent at least, a
victim of disappointed hopes and ambi-
tons.

A Handsome Art Souvenir of Great Falls

is handsomely bound in cloth and en-
bossed in gold, making it in every respect
what it's name implies-a souvenir. The
result is a beautiful work of art, and
should be possessed by everyone who
admires artistic work or has the interests
of Great Falls at heart. Certainly moth

upon"them in the matter of citizenship.
The TRIBUNE holds that it is a duty
that every man who ia eligible owes to
this country to become a citizen and
thus assume the responsibilities as we'll
we'll as enjoy the protection that such a
position affords. The mode prescribed
is a simple and easy one, and the man
who is not ready to avail himself of it
and pay the trifiing expense which it
entails has no claim to either employ
ment or fellowship in any community.
That the alien should take advantage OF
his privilege voluntarily goes without
saying, and his failure to do so should
forfeit all consideration for him on the
part of fellow residents.

Some people are disposed to criticise
the management of the opera house for
not bringing more attractions to Great
Falls. 1t costs money to conduct a play
house, and, viewed in the light of recent
experience, the management would be
justified in keeping the house closed.
When the people of Great Falls want
performances they will signify it by pat
ronizing those that do come. If those
who are disposed to criticise want other
attractions let them head the list for q
guarantee that is exacted rather than
find fault. In this manner they can by
giving due notice see all the great actors
that come west.
