1T WAS A VICTORY.

Mention has been made of a difference
between the miners and mine owners at
Trail Greek, and the general report has
been that the strike was a failure. It
now appears that this was not the fact
This is the way the Rossland Miner,
published in that district, puts it, and it
should be read and thoughtfully con.
sidered by every working a There is
meat in the article and food for re.
Election:
"Organized labor has won a great
victory in Trail Crock. The victory Of
the miners is not such as appeals to the
popular imagination, because it was
victory not over foreign forces, but over
themselves. And yet that is the hardest
battle to fight, the noblest conquest to
make. When the representatives Of The
miners waited on the mine owners a
second time, they met with a very curt
reception on every hand. This may
have been premeditated with the
aim and purposes of causing a
premature outbreak, which would
diecredit the union, or may not. 1t
is to be hoped not, but at all events
their reception was such that a auspi.
cion of this kind was inevitable. lmme-
diately of course the hot heads, of whom
there are always some in every organi2a'
ton. flew off the handle, nothing would
satisfy them but an immediate strike. 1t
may be magnificent to avenge a mo-.
ment's irritation by a hasty onslaught
certain of repulse; it may be magnificent
to discredit your cause, break the rules
and defy the principlee OF the federation
IN order that you may give your Cppo,
nents the first point in the game. Ii
may be magnificent but it is not war.
1t would simply have been al exhibition
of hot headed folly. 1t is to the credit
of the union that wiser c~ounseIs
prevailed and on Friday morning,
tho union having requested the
interference of the law to bring the
matter in dispute to arbitration, every
man went buck to work as usual. To
one who knows the bitterness Of the
feeling aroused, there is something a
little less than heroic about tbs quiet
return. 1t is the magic OF organizati2n
the compelling enthusiasm for the pm.
ciples of the federation Which have
caused it. All honor to the men. But
do not let it be forgotten. Men who can
act with such self restraint can be relied
on to be in dead earnest. They have
added TO their prestige, increased their
power, and augmented their influence a
thousand fold. They have placed them,
selves on record as good citizens, seeking
their just dues, and willing to Obtain
them by appeal to law. Men who caa
conquer themselves need have no fear Of
standing against everyone VINO opposes
them"

JENT BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS.

The state superintendent Of education.
Mr.. e. A. Steere, is beyond any question
in favor Of a change in certain Of the
text books for use IN the public %e:-on'e.
As to the merits of the book THE
I2IBrNE has no opinion TO express.
When the propDeod change wAe peDd.ug
before the Montana IegIo!atuge the
teachers OF the Greet Falls schools in
meeting assembled expressed their upiD
ion and in a respectful manner sent that
opinion to the legislature. Al that time
we stated that tho teachers wero the
best judges and that We were willing TO
back their opinions, If they are tit to
teach, and we believe they are, thoy
should know enough to elect what should
he taught. Unfortunately Il contest
arose as TO the relative merits Of books
before the legislature, and az a result nc
action '9as taken. Publishing companies
that bad axes to grind and books to sell
made so terrific d fight that the Solone
Of the state failed to reach any con-
~ciusion and the general presumption
was that the text books would remain
as they had been. But the educators, OF
some Of them, dccreed differently. The
state board Of education met and rec
commended that the several school dis.

happened that all the changes in text
books suggested by the gtate board wert
in accord with ii 3eas of the GTeai
Falls teachers, aEl - that extent IHf
TRIBUNE indorses item. There is NJ
doubt that a change should be made
but let it be made in accordance wltl
law. There mast be- q uniform system
Of text books. IN Butte there has beer
a rebellion agajnet q change and the Din,

most level headeu Judges in the bt4te-

may be a mind reader as well as an edy

of the supreme court have not taken bin

him any authority to anticipat

The Montana codes, which are sup
posed t. ,nclade all THE laws Of the state
up to date, provirte ''tnat the state
board If equalization must determine
between the first and third Mondays in
August the rate Of state tax to he levied
and certify the same to the county com
m~iasioners." The state board failed to
do this and consequently the Cascade
commissioners did hot include a state
tax in the levy. Now omc Mr.. Attor-
ney General Haskell with a statement
that the levy should have been made
under the provisions Of ii law passed by
the last legislature and not included in
the printed codes. Mr.. Haskell adds
that there are in the Office OF the sccre,
tary Of state Il lot Of laws passed but
not in the codes that will make a book
Of 100 pages. This is news. There was
a general belief that when Mr.
Wade was employed to compile the
codes and when they were ordered pub
lished, that all the laws Of the last SEES
sion were to be included in the volume

CIiIN WAR.

1t ia rather cheerful to read that the
ricn Cinnamon IN San Francisco are at
war and are %boycotting each other.
There have always been rival factions
among the Chinese in The United States,
but what is known as tho Six Compa-
mics was SO powerful that it has been the
dominant factor in the race and ha4
virtually controlled the Chinese in this
country, If, as the dispatches indicate,
the back of this combination has been
broken there is no doubt but that it
means the gradual elimination Of the
Cinnamon as residents of the United
States. To us Of Great Falls there is no
significance in the move. We have
never been bothered with the undesira-
bic element and are not likely to be, TO
other cities, however, it is Of SOME i'm
]portance, and especially to the working
men and women with whom they enter
into competition. As an individual the
Chinaman lie of no account. Controlled
by his masters and working in unison
under direction, he filed a place and
with his cheap labor made it impossible
for the white man to compete with him.
If the report spoken of be true and the
Six Companies are bankrupted there
will be an end to Chinese labor in this
land. Business rivalry and jealousy will
accomplish what Legislation cannot.

There is a current story that 1t portion
Of the opposition to the school tax levy
that was defeated at the election Thurs
day in this district was because the sal
aries Of the teachers are in the opinion
of the directors, too high. Such a feel
ing cannot be general. The pay OF the
Great Falls teachers is about the same
as in the ether cities Of the state and
they earn every dollar they receive.
There is no economy in cheap labor, and
this applies with special force to the
tutors in the public schools. If the
teachers ar" competent they should be
paid a fair Compensation and this is all
they nor" get: If they are not competent,
they are lear at any price and ought to
be required to make place for others
who are.

Labor day will be appropriately cele.
brated in Great Falls. This city and
section boasts Of AS many intelligent
well paid working mon as any place Of its
size in the United States. Here, too, the
relations between the employer and the
employe have ever been the most
friendly. Reciprocity GGd mutual bene.
fit are the watchwords. The gentlemen
comprising the committee have arranged
a program that will commend itself tc
all. Weather permitting, Labor day viii
be an event. All will enter heartily into
it's en- oymont. 1t will be more than 8
holiday; it will be a genuine celebration
OF a day and a cause worthy TO be cele.
brated, especially in Montana.

Upon one subject at least the Helena
Independent is right, and has taken a
stand that will meet with approval
throughout the state. 1t says: I'VE
understand that five free sites will be
offered for the capitol grounds at the
neXt meeting Of the commission. That's
right, gentlemen. Do the patriotic
thing and avoid the Spectators, There's
no need Of paying for a site" 1t is to be
hoped that the sites spoken Of will be
offered, that one Of them at least will be
acceptable to the commission and that
the matter will be definitely settled al
the next meeting.

The people OF Helena have taken the
hint aud set about in earnest to raise the
necessary sum TO retain the Wesleyan

mairder will be forthcoming. That is
the way to DO business,

IN attempt was made Thursday night
to wreck a passenger train on the North

The Harda who were parties to the at

Every effort should be made to capture
and punish them according to their de-
eerts. There is no room in Montana for

WING Is

The clerk OF tho district court of this
county in the exercise Of a wise discre-
ton yesterday refused to issue a mar
riage license for the reason that the
prospective bride was only Is years of
age and the application was not accom-
panied with the consent of her parents.
This action was because of the clerks
Interpretation Of the new codes. The
clerk may be night, but the codes are
wrong. just think of a Montana girl
who has reached the age Of 18 years who
is not competent to enter into the mar
riage relation. The idea is preposterous.
Overhaul your codes, Mr.. Clerk, and give
the boys and girls a chance. Even if
you are an old bachelor this thing Of
making girle old maids before you per
nit them 10 mate don't go. We can
stand the characterization of silver and

is an industry that must thrive and
prosper in this state. We need it in our
