Of western hog products and provisions
into tho south. ON an extensive scale,
it will seem to most people absurd to
think Of the south shipping hogs and
corn to the west. This may be done
before the end Of the present year, ac-
cording to Mr.. w. III. Baldwin. vice.
president Of the Southern Railway Co..
who believes that the failure of the
corn crop in the west, concurrent with
the extraordinarily bountiful crop in
the south. will result in tho phenone-
non of the south shipping hogs to the

been made in Alabama and elsewhere
for shipment to Illinois and other west.

An expert estimate of the cost of
corn production in Texas, Mississippi,
Arkansas and North Carolina places tho
average figures at thirty cents, and at
the present good market prices the
profit will be large. Besides this, some
of the planters have entered into tho
raising of cattle on q scale never before
even contemplated. The failure of the
pasturage in the west through the hot
weather and the consequent decrease
in the herds Of live stock in those sec.
tions is likely to impart q great stimu.

DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

There is never campaign for munich
pal officers but that the question of econ
omy in the administration of affairs is
discussed and reforms in expendi-
rures insisted upon. AS rule all man
ner of pledges are made and as rule
they are shamefully violated. A notable
exception to this is the democratic ad-
ministration of Great Falls during the
two years it has been in power. "By
their fruits shall ye know them" and
judged by any standard the democratic
officials of the city can give an account
of their stewardship that must not only
be gratifying 10 themselves but to their
fellow citizens who foot the bills The
record is one of which all may feel proud
for as compared with other large cities it
challenges comparison, and when COM
pared with its republican predecessor at
home it shows the administration has
been not only economical but satisfac-
tory in the highest degree. In another
column will be found the figures which
tell their own story, but in order to sim
plify them it may be we'll to sum them
up During the year 1893 when the re-
publicans were in power, the expendi-
lures amounted to SS3,J74O8. During
were reduced to S7S.OS1l7, saving OF
5J,SSS9l. Daring the present year, with
liberal estimate for the unexpired por-
tion, they will only be 513,SOl. .13, a saw.
ing, as compared with 1893, of SlO, lT295
or total reduction Of expenses in the
two years of over $4,000 Nor is this all
When the democrats took charge in 1891
they found that their predecessors had
left them net indebtedness Of Sl72 405 95
BY careful management this was re-
duced so that at the end of the year il
was only SlG2,O5O92, a reduction OF
SlQ,35503 and at the end of this fsca
year it will be only Sl53,32457, a total
reduction of over $4,000.
With such showing the democratic
party of Great Falls need only select
proper candidates and it can confidently
appeal to the people to support it at the
polls AS The TRIBUNE has heretofore
said the intelligence integrity and in
dustry of municipal officers is of far more
consequence than their party affiliations
but the comparison shows that the
democrats must possess these qualities
to a greater extent than our republican
friends in Great Falls.

GOOD CITY ENT.

The democrats of Great Falls have
placed in nomination ticket for city
officers, which appears at the head of
this column and which should commend
itself to the suffrages of every good citi-
zen. In the hope of securing proper
city government the democrats have
been willing to unite with their fellow
citizens and select a ticket irrespective
of party names and without reference to
party lines. In this effort they were
tbwarted by those who for purely selfish
reasons had secured control of both the
republican and populist conventions.
This left the democrats no alternative,
but to place ticket in the field, and
that duty they performed in manner
that must meet with popular approval.
No candidate in the list sought the nom.
ination, but each one Of them is fully
equal to the demands of the Office for
which he has been named, and in ali the
elements of citizenship can challenge
comparison with his competitors The
ticket, though named by democrats, is
to degree non partisan and stands for
an honest, economical administration of
municipal affairs. Behind it there are
no cliques or pledges, or deals or COM
promises or trades
1t appeals to the intelligent judgment
Of the voters of Great Falls upon its
merits. 1t will not seek election by
abuse of the opposing tickets, for the
candidates do not desire Office at the ex
pense of their selfrespect. 1t is the in
tention that the campaign be conducted
without examinations or recriminations
Personally the gentlemen on the other
tickets, especially the candidates fol
mayor, are well known in the commu,
nifty. They are old residents, identified
with our business interests, bear eX
cellent regulations, and nothing is to be
gained by attempting to smirch Their
characters. This will not be done If the
democratic candidates and TIE TRIB.
UNE can prevent it.
On the other hand it must be said
the opposition do not represent an active
cause or principle. Both are put for
ward as matter of policy, not of choice
to represent small band of slick work
ers who to subserve selfish and question
able ends captured the machinery OF
their parties and used the gentlemen as
fguieheads to accomplish their ultimate
purpose-the control of the city govern
ment There is no denying these facts
and it therefore behooves every good cit
izen to support and vote for the demo
cratic ticket

NDkTIIItEtS PACIFIC.

The Northern Pacific receivers have
been attacked with one of the periodical
spasns of economy. 1t did not take the
shape Of reduction in the salaries of
the high officials, but as usual it struck
at a few OF the minor employees and also
at the patrons of the road. The express
company, which is a part of The system,
has had the pruning knife applied in
order that it he consolidated with the
railway system proper, that all express
agents be discharged and the delivery
so far as Montana Is concerned. This
means that shippers on the line of the
road will have to send their shipments
to the depot and haul their consgu-
ments from the depot at their own ex-
pense. 1t The TRIBUNE remembers cor
rectly it was only a short time ago that
the express company was declared a cor
poration independent OF the railroad;
now 1t suits the convenience of the man
ayers to change the status of affairs and
it is done by scratch of the pen
and the public are the sufferers. Mis-
soula is one of the cities affected by the
change and it's people are making a roar,
but to what extent it will avail them re-
mains to be seen. One thing is rtain,
the business of the Northern Pacific in
Montana is an important factor in the
receipts Of the company and unless the
patrons in this state receive due and
proper consideration they should appeal
to the courts to intervene in their be-
half Under the land grant the North
ern Pacific owns large area Of the land
Of the state. Under It's pernicioue
method of purchase by position it con
trolls quite large number of individuals
but in spite of all this it should not be
allowed to trsmple on the rights of the
entire state. Let those who are attrontel
appeal to the courts for protection.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1895-04-05

Montana republicans and especially
those Of Great Falls like the program
and the prospects. They claim to be
free coinage advocates regardless of con-
sequences. Yet they continue to sup

trying to skillfully evade the issue or has
taken a bold stand IN favor of gold mon
ometallism Their position is inconsist-
ent in the extreme, especially as they in
sist in sticking to party politics and
party organization even il municipal af-
fairs Indirectly this may do the cause
of silver much harm, for in the event of
republican success in any of the western
cities the result is telegraphed all over
the east as an evidence that the voters of
this section favor the republican single
gold standard and do not care for free
coinage These are facts that the Great
Falls voters will do we'll to bear in mind
on election day. The success of the re-
publican city ticket is stab a. free

A MEAN TRICK.

The management of the Connellsville
coke works appears to have played a
mean, shabby, inexcusable trick on the
employees. A short time ago the pay of
the men was increased by the company
and the fact was favorably commented
upon all over the land. Now comes the
other side of the story The rents, for
all employees occupy company houses
have been increased in an amount that
will nearly equal the raise in wages
The men are naturally indignant and q
strike is being talked of. II it is pu,

The compliment of an election as del.
egate to the republican convention from
his own ward was denied Mr.. Webster
by the marplots who controlled the pri
maries. This is an evidence of what
they thought Of him until his name was
needed as mask behind which to hide
their schemes. The duty Of every self.
respecting voter is to rebuke such
methods is by defeating Mr.. Webster.
His election would mean an endorsement
OF system of political brigandage that
cannot be tolerated. Because he made
mistake in accepting the nomination
will not justify citizens in the mistake Of
voting for him.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1895-04-05
THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

The Great Falls republican city con-
vention has placed ticket in the field
for municipal officers. 1t is not by any
means the ticket that was agreed upon
by the clique which captured the prima-
ries. There has been notable change
in the program and one which ls easily
accounted for. The nomination of G. M.
Webster for mayor is an afterthought
born of the exigencies of the occasion.
In spite Of his high standing in the com
munity Mr. Webster was turned down
by the manipulators of the republican
caucuses and not even accorded the com
pliment of an election as delegate to the
convention from his ward, though he was
a candidate for that honor. Since the
caucuses the engineers appear to have
realized that after all they had made ID
mistake, and as a result the convention
broke the slate, and Mr.. Webster was
nominated for mayor and has accepted
the candidacy. As u citizen and a gen.
tleman, whose business integrity and
qualifications entitle him to considera-
ton, there can be no question, but his
acceptance of the nomination for mayor
under the circumstances is open to criti-
cism. 1t was not offered as compli-
ment to his worth or standing, but simply
as matter of policy. That he accepted
is matter of surprise. There was no
reason why he should permit himself to
be made a catspaw in order to aid a
combination of men with whom he has
nothing in common even though they
are masquerading as republicans. 1t is
political and personal mistake on the
part OF Mr.. Wobster-one which he can
not justify and one which will not in
crease his popularity among that class
of his fellow citizens whose good opinion
is worth having. This he will realize to
it's fullest extent on election day. AS
for the remainder of the ticket, The
TRIBUNE can dismiss it with few words.
Mr.. Webster was chosen in the belief
that his nomination would aid it. His
defeat, which is certainty, leaves the
candidates for the minor offices no hope
whatever. The best element of the re-
publican party will not support either
the head or the tail of ticket that was
brought into existence under such pc
cuiar circumstances.

GREAT FALLS DEMOCRATS.

The democFats of Helena elected a
mayor on straight party ticket; the
democrats of Butte have nominated a
straight party ticket; what do the demo,
Gratis of Great Falls propose to do?
They are the masters of the situation
In the interest Of good municipal gov
ernment they offered to sink politics and
support non partisan ticket. The
offer was refused Nothing is now left
for them but to nominate straigh
party ticket or retire from the field. Ar
endorsement of either of the other ticket
is out of the question, 1t is better tt
fight and lose than to play the coward

ment gobblo up about SG,O0O,OO0 in the
sinking fund of the Central Pacific in
order that it may recoup itself for money

certain Dnds OF the corporation. This
is an uuovation upon the heretofore
practice of the government in dealing
with the wrecked subsidized roads, and
gives faint hope that the wreckers may

SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The election for school trustees will be
held Saturday. Thus far there has been
no concerted action on the part Of cti-
zens to put ticket in the field. The
offices are of sufficient Importance to in
vite the attention Of every good citizen,
and there is no reason why those wh9
are most interested should not select
candidates and elect them. Up to date
the county superintendent has not de-
clared the seat of Mr.. Hanks vacant, and
it is probable that by reason of his de-
reelection the district will continue to be
short one trustee for another year. This
should not be, but there appears no help
for it. However, it is an additional rea-
son why the three who are to be elected
should be chosen for their peculiar fit
ness for the positions.

The legislative branch of city gov

equal of the executive. To insure the
best results the two should be in har-
mony. Cross purposes between CO.
ordinate departments creates confusion,
ill-feeling and often ends in serious
detriment to the community. Appre-
ciating to the fullest extent the fact that
in the conduct of the affairs of Great
Falls the prosperity Of the city and
the interests of the citizen should rise
above party considerations, and that
that its duty lay in the securing of this
the democratic convention made an in
novation that is commendable. Among
the candidates for aldermen in the other
parties they found men to whom no
objection could be urged on any score
and they promptly endorsed their can
didacy and will support them at the
polls. The list is shown in the ticket al

"LEX TALIONIS."

A couple of recent instances in the
northwest indicate that the ordinary
administration of justice does not reach
certain class of criminals, and the vic
Tins have resorted to "lex talionis." A
week ago in Helena man who had been
robbed of his all in house of prostitu-
tion took summary revenge by murder
ing the woman thief. It cannot be said
the punishment fits the crime, but it can
be said that this species of crime has
been indulged in and gone unpunished
SO long in Montana that the victim
smarting under his wrongs, felt that in
order to get any redress he must take
the law in his own hands.
Another case and one which has thus
far a sort of grim humor about it comes
from Port Townsend, Wash, yesterday
A couple of sure-thing gamblers in that
city feeced the captain of British ship
He didn't shoot them but took another
and original mode of getting even. They
were enticed on board of his vessel anc
held there as prisoners until she set sal
for Peru. just what he will do with
them when he gets them on the higf
seas can only be conjectured, but the
chances are their voyage will not be the
most enjoyable one on record. Botf
these cases show that either the law OF
its administration is at fault, for had il
been otherwise neither would have
