THE CAPITOL SITE.

The gentlemen appointed by the gov,
ernor to select a site for the state capitol
at Helena have been inspecting the va.
rious locations offered and listening to
the opinions of prominent citizens as to
the relative advantages of the several
points and are expected to reach a con.
%clusion to-day. The duty is an impor.
tant one, and it is to be hoped that the
commission in it's selection will be gov.
erned by the best interests of the state
and not by the arguments of those who
have personal interests to subserve.
After the bill had been passed and an
preparation made, and bids asked for THE
TRIBUNE ventured the opinion that there
would be a sudden and abnormal rise in
the values of outside property which was
supposed to be eligible for the purpos,|
of a capitol site. In this it was moi
mistaken. In the report of the proceed.
ings of the commission as published ID
the Independent of yesterday appear,
the following:
at was a notable fact that with two
exceptions the amounts asked for ts
grounds were several times and in oDs
or two instances many times their lS4
assessed valuation. The exceptions wen
the tract offered by Peter Winnie for /,
and the five acres on Capitol hill offerd
ty S. L. Hauser for nothing. The addl
tional five acres offered by Mr.. Hauss
at $1,000 an acre are assessed at a mud
lower sum than the price asked"
While a good location is of more 10
portance than the question of cost ID
commissioners should see to it that ibid
are not muIcted and compelled to p

erty, No gouge game should be pa

EVIDENCE MULTIELYING,

That the republican party is the enemy
of silver, or to speak more exactly, is
under the control of the goldbugs, is
becoming more ~palpable every day. The
money kings of the United States are
republicans, and they are straining every
nerve and expanding large sums of their
wealth to defeat the will of the people
and keep them under their domination.
The fiat has gone forth that if such a
thing be possible, the money interest.
not the people, shall rule this country.
This is the issue that now confronts us.
1t had been supposed that in the west,
where the sentiment of the masses is 80
pronounced, that no representative man
could be found who was willing to sub
ordinate popular sentiment to his politi-
cal advancement. In spite of this we
find that one of the republican senators.
elect from Montana, who is now in the
east, is engaged in an unholy effort to
advance his personal fortunes at the
expense of the people of Montana. That
the policy of Mr.. Carter may be under
stood and appreciated the following is
taken from the editorial columne of the
New York World:
According to Thomas Carter, chairman
Of the republican national committee
the republicans propose "to plough
around the silver stump"-in other
words, dodge the issue.
No doubt they do. But whether they
will succeed in doing it is another ques
ton. If Mr.. Carter and a number Of
other practical statesmen of his echoo.
are to be believed, the party must either
straddle or split, dodge or be divided
And so, according TO MIR. Carter, the
national republican convention must
realfirm it's former straddle and in add
ton thereto resurrect the old wing plank
condemning presidential ~vetoes, in order
to render a sound money president in
nocuous in case there is a free silver
congress.
This may be blowing around the silver
stump. Or rather it might be if it were
an old field stump. The republican
party is breaking new ground, however
and, as everyone knows, new grouno
stumps have very long and very tough
roots. The plownan who makes the

THE CITY PARKS

The request Of Jcre Leslie mad" to the
city council at the meeting Monday
night ON behalf Of the former owners of
Island park seems to be a timely and
proper one. That Great Falls has none too
many possibilities in the shapo uT parks
has been the attitude of The TGHrNEo ON
this subject Of breathing places. All are
good and must be retained for they will
be needed. 1t is the history Of every
city that assumes metropolitan proper
tons that it must have pleasure resorts.
The series Of reservations beginning at
the depot AMI ending with the boundary

Improvement, but not an acre Of them

than piles Of bricks and mortar and of

parks, no we'll Wishrr of the city believes
that their purchase was not for the gen
Grad good. i'm good time, and that not
far distant. III" Sagacity Of those who
purchased them will be fully vindicatrl.
In the meantime we are face to face
with an emergency in regard to Park
;,l,.I Il ,,I;.l. l;, ,,,;.I. =, a., ,.,,.
For the immediate present it is the most
accessible and beautiful of the purchases
and is susceptible Of u lg made ii thing
of beauty and d joy forever. 1t was sold
and purchased in good faith and the
former owners are entitled to their pay.
If the warrants which were given in
payment are not good, give them new
ones. The spot should be held sacred
to the uses of the multitudes. If the
city breaks faith with the vendors, they
can find an individual purchaser who
will make it a source of profit to him
self and a cost to visitors where it should
be open to all without price.
THE TRIBUNE has pronounced views
on this park question. 1t believes that
all the purchases for park purposes were
good mes and that the city should hold
fast to what it has acquired. So far as
the Island park is concerned it has no
hesitation in saying that its owners
should, by remedial legislation on the
part of the council, be paid in negoti-
able funds of some satisfactory char
actcr. If the council does not see fit to
do that common honesty dictates that
the property should be restored in fee to
those from whom it was purchased. No
need for an expensive litigation. The
city does not own it unless it pays for it,;
thus far it has failed to settle. Stop
quibbling, be honest, and either buy or
deed back the property, but our advice
is to buy. The people will sanction the
deal.

South America on the other. They take
the broad view that the cooperation Of
all nations upon a bimetallic basis would
insure greater stability in finance and
greater freedom Of than can
be expected from the present situation,
with silver monometallism the basis of
trade in one-half of the world and gold
monometallism in the other.
And. besides, the output of gold is
increasing in Alaska, in the Rocky
mountains, in Africa and all over the
world at a rate portending a depression
of its value within the next ten years.
There are whispers abroad of vast guam
titles of long-hoarded gold in China and
in India. When the R%othschilds see
danger ahead and begin to look for
safety to the old stability Of gold and
silver bimetallism, spare US the spectacle
of American craftsmanship making a
fetch of monometallism. either gold or
silver
To the last part of the article the only
answer is that we are willing to have BIZ
metallism if we can. but will go to silver
recommendation if we must.
Equally as important KS the new de-
parture of the Ro%thschilds on the sub
ject is the interview published in other
columns with Fred Il. Coudert of New
York, who represents the French CIV
eminent in a confidential capacity. This
gentieman's views are entitled to consid-
GRAFTON, and he makes no bones Of stat
ing the situation as he sees it. His
judgment is that unless Europe speedily
agrees to a bimetalllc arrangement the
United States will go it alone, and that
while such a course may harm this
country it will wreck Europe.
The fact is the indications all point to
the dawnipg of a better day. Our peo-
pie are determined to have what is theirs
by right and the money kings both at
home and abroad must accept the fiat.
They are too cowardly to do otherwise.

There was ncv"r yet It man who did
wrong who did not find AN excuse t,
Justify it, but it was reserved for The
republican mayor Of Butte to discount
all .Ananiasrs who have preceded him.
This Butte mayor invited all the mem
bers Of the council into caucus and an
nouncrd to them that their choice for
chief Of police of the city would be his
choice and that the candidate they
named would be nominated. At the
meeting of the council the mayor named
y man fer the position different from the
caurll nominee and defended his action
on tn" shallow pretcnsc that he was jus
titled because the decision of the caucus
had been made public. The naming
OF q Butte chief Of police Is but Of lit1i,

Of other Montana cities. and this Incl

Rumor has it that Attorney General
Olney will be handed the portfolio of
secretary of state. This promotion, if
it occurs, may be gratifying to the off
cial, but it will hardly please the great
trusts and corporations that have been
protected by Mr.. Olney while he was
the head of the law department of the
government. If the change will have
any effect in securing eve a semblancc
of an enforcement of the law regarding
the monopolies by all means let it be
made. AS secretary of state he can dc
no special harm to the country. and.
though the trusts may miss him as at
torney general, the people will not Oh
ject to the transfer, in fact, it will bc
welcomed.

1T is now said that New York is to lost
Boss Croker and that Ireland is to be
the gamer. The great maGnatc after he
concluded nominally to retire from poll
tics went into the racing business and
took his stables to England. Thus far
his venture has been a financial success.
and he has rented one Of the most fash
ionablc houses in London and set up an
establishment with q; view Of breaking
into the Prince Of Wales set. Mr..
Croker will probably succeed in his am
bitiun. but he is aiming still higher.
The latest story is to the effect that he
has purchased an estate in Ireland and
will seek by means of il to secure d title.
All this reminds Us that the possibilities
Of the American politician are hOundlrss,
always providing that he is a politician
for what there is in it. I'm the meantime
the old Tammany crowd do not hesitate
to say that. though Mr.. Croker may live
in Ireland OF London, he will still give
his old New York associates the benefit
of his knowledge and experience. This
is a great country and no mistake.
