ANACONDA COPPER COMPANY.

Marcus DAILY sprung a surprise and
created quite a tlutter of excitement
among the good people OF Great Falle
Saturday by causing to be filed with the
county clerk and recorder articles OF
incorporation Of the Anaconda copper
company. A synopsis OF the document
will be found in another column. The
name of Mr.. DAILY does not appear in it;
1.-THE voice is Jacobs voice, but the
hands are the hands of Esau." Each of
the gentlemen named as in%corporators
and trustees are the confidential business
associates of the copper king. What
does it mean: is the query here. Frankly
we give it up. For some inscrutable
reason the incorporators failed to advise
with THE TRIBUNE. They did not take
it into their confidence, or even give it Il
chance to get a large slice of the stock on
the ground floor. This was mean, for
while it will not go a.bcgging there is
enough of 1t to let a few Of the best Of
us have Il Whack, and our name would
have given an added air of solidity to the
concern.
The best advice we car give our read
crs is TO watch and wait. What promises
to be ore Of the most important meetings
Of the Anaconda company is advertised
to be held at Butte June a. it may be
that the organization of the new COM
pany has some connection with that
meeting or will be governed by the pro-
ceedings thereat, or it may be that it is
absolutely original and independent. 1t
would be easy to indulge in any amount
of reasonable speculatione, the field is a
broad one for guessers but the master
hand Of the deal moves in a mysterious
way, and any attempt to fathom his pur-
poses might fly very far from the mark.
One thing is apparent, the immcnee
amount of the capitalization and the
wide scope of business that can be con
the company has been organized for
business not for amusement. Just at
this time we take the liberty of suggest
ing to the gentlemen, as they enter upon
their career, that Great Falls affords an
excellent field and u~ncqualled Oppor-
t%unitice for investment for a large share
Of the money, and will welcome them.
Give US d chance.

MINERS UNION DAY.

The miners of Cascade county cele
brated Miners union day at Belt yester
day, and made the demonstration worth,
OF the occasion, Sand Coulee uniting
with the Valley City for the event. The
dispatches from Belt tell briefly of thu
occurrences of the day. 1t was q holi

all seem to have entered into the enjoy
ment. That the new city Of Belt enter

made so imposing Il turn out is a matter
not only Of congratulation to the mem
bers of the union, but to the entire PEG
pie OF the county. Yet it is simply al
evidence of the thrift and contentmenr
that must follow steady employment ant
fair wages to those engaged in laboriou.
industrial pursuits. Yesterday at Belt
proved to the most skeptical that the la
boror is worthy of his hire and that the
best paid is in the end the cheapest
labor.

The assembling of the free coinage
convention at Memphis yesterday was a
notable event in more than one respect.
1t was the largest gathering Of the kind
that ever occurred in tbs United States,
and it was representative in the best
sense of the word. 1t was a rally Of the
people to assert their rights ard demand
relief from the monstrous wrongs that
have for years weighted them down. Its
membership was not confined to any
claes, creed or political family. Office
holders under the federal government
were conspicuous by their absence, go
were the great corporation attorneys and
the agents Of the Wall street banks. In
their stead were to be found men who,
by the votes Of the people, had been
chosen to fill important places of honor
and trust in the legislative branches of
the government, both national and state,
and by their side in largo numbers were
the men who had elected them.
The convention was in the nature Of a
response to a meeting held in the same
city Il few weeks ago, called by the
money power and addressed by the secre-
tary of the treasury in its behalf. The
response WAS timely and will be effective.
Instead of the labored rhetoric and the
Bophisms Of Mr.. Carlisle, the con vention
had presented to it an array of facts in
t~elligently given, which provo beyond
question that to demonetization is due
tho existing evils, and that the only
remedy lies in a restoration of silver to
its rlghtful place as money.
The convention is a SUCCESS, it is an
%outpouring Of the people and demon
atrates how thoroughly they are aroused
1t marks a mile stone in the journey to-
ward bi-metallism, and gives unmistake-
able notice that the march will be con-
tinued until the objects of the people are
crowned with success. All honor to
those who originated the convention and
all honor to those whose presence make
it so imposing. The people are in the
saddle and are riding to assured victory.
There Is no such word as fail.

MANTLE AND SILVER.

Senator Lee Mantle, after an absence
Of four months in the east and south, has
returned to Butte greatly improved in
health. On this Tue THIErHE extends
ita congratulations, and hopes the res
toratiOn may be permanent. But the
senator has been interviewed by the
Standard and there's the rub. That he
il Il loyal Montana man We DO not doubt,
bat in his talk for publication he rather
begs the question. During his absence
he has neccssarily become acquainted
With the fact that the republican lead
erg have determined that at the national
convention the silver question shall be
lodged. In spite Of this he is deceiving
himself with the forlnrn hope that when
tn" time arrives achange will have taken
place and the party declare for free
coinage. Until the platform is written
and adopted Mr.. Mantle declares
he will work in the party traces.
This is disappointing. He must know
that he has n o ground on which to base
any such anticipation, and he should
frankly acknowledge it. His duty to the
state is, not to eq~uiyocate, but to boldly
announce that unless the republican
platform is free coinage he is not a re-
publican and will not support the party
in or out Of congress-. de must DO given
credit for saying that il neither Of the
old parties favors free coinage a new one,
with silver as it's cardinal doctrine, will
spring up and it would have a consider
able following, but he does not say that
he would be found in tho ranks. This
is about the time for Senator Mantle to
tell the people OF Montana where he is at.

for the free coinage men has furnished

lodges that at the democratic convention
the entire vote of the northern delegates
will be cast in favor of a free coinage

Silver is still fighting it's way to the
front in a manner that cannot be mis-
understood. In all the money ~centers it
lH appreciated that the people OF the
United States are willing to 90 it alone,
and this being the case efforts are being
made to secure an international agree

growth Of the silver sentiment in Eu-
rope was given in ap interview with a
prominent Englishman in the New York

The cities of Montana are lust nov
bordering over the solution of the trami
question. Montana, it seems, has special
attractions for this class of gentry, and
in consequence it's cities are Overrun with
men who don't wish to work, and who
make a living by petty stealing, 'boost
ing for some dive, or begging. Great
Falls is not without its share Of this ole.
ment, and Butte, it seems, has come to
the conclusion that some curative meas
ures must be taken to induce these UNI
desirable citizens to migrate from her
limits. The conclusion they have
reached is that they will build a movable
stockade and haul within the enclosure
a sufficient quantity of rocks to keep the
city prisoners busy earning their board
by breaking them up fine enough for the
repairing of the city roads. This is a
remedy which is likely to prove effective
in Kidding the city of the evil com
planned of, for the average tramp
has the same repugnanco and aversion
to work of any kind that tradition AYERS
that the devil exhibits toward holy
water. If Butte adopts this course the
other cities of Montana may look for an
exodus from that place of no small pro-
portions, and a corresponding increase of
buns, pimps and petty larceny thieves
within their own limits. They will have
to adopt a similar course in self pr0tec-
ton. And this calls to our mind the
fact that unless our memory is at fault,
the city council Of Great Falls, during
the administration Of Mayor HotchkisB.
adopted a resolution to the effect that
the city prisoners Of this city should be
provided with a little gentle exercise on
a stone pile. A number of stone ham
mers were purchased, and the mayor was
authorized to purchase II number Of rock
anvils. These are provided with holes
Of a certain size and a prisoner is given
a hammer and a pile of rock, which he
is obliged to put through the
holes in tho anvil before he
eats his dinner or supper, rs the case
may be. We believe the matter dropped
at this point, and the anvila vera never
obtained, Meantime the stone hammers
remained at the city Jail awaiting their
arrival. We would suggest that tie city
fathers look up that resolution anent
using the prisoners to crush store and
make the experiment. We predict that
the city Jail will be less crowded after
the stone breaking gets into operation,
and Migrants will avoid this city d. they

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

The international League of Press
clubs has been in session at Philadelphia
for a day or two, and among the other
business transacted was tho adoption Of
a resolution urging the various STATE
press associations to secure the passag.
Of a general libel law worded as follows.
Before any suit shall be brought TO,
the publication of a libel in any news
paper of this state, the aggrieved part
shall. at least three days before filing %
serving the complaint in such suit, sery1
a notice on the publisher or published
of said newspapers at their princips|
Office of publication, certifying the stat1
ments in the said article which he d
they may allege to be false or defams
tory. If it shall appear on the trial I'll
the article WAS published in good fait
that its falsity was due TO "a mistake
misrepresentation Of the facts, and tina
full and fair retraction of any Stationed
therein alleged to be erroneous, was put
lished in the next regular issue of sud
newspaper, then the plaintiff in euC1
cases shall recover only actual damaged
"Provided, however, that the proyiaI
ions OF this act shall not apply to TIA
case of any libel against any caudidatl
for public Office in this state unless ri

in a conspicuous manner at least thTe4
days before election, in case such libei
Gus article was published in a daill
newspaper; if published in a weeklt
newspaper, at least ten days before It'd

THE TRIBUNE does not know whs1
libel law has been incorporated INTO til
new codes, but the subject is ono It'd
should be looked up and acted upon b

presumes that a paper has u license

Il course tends to absolutely deprive

otherwise attach to them. On the oti>
hand, in the publication of news
sometimes happens that an unintd

under the law in some states the pad
is liable for damages without an opu
tunity to explain or apologize. ThisI
manifestly wrong, especially as il md

proposed will prevent this and will nj
