MUCH WORRIED.

The press of Helena continues to cx-
press it's great solicitude for the people
of Montana because of the efforts of. j u.
Hill to get control of the Northern Pa
cific. If their motives were not so thor
oughly selfish they might be entitled to
some sympathy, as it is, their cries of
alarm are laughable. This is the dish
the Independent served up to it's readers
yesterday:
"An Associated Press dispatch from
New York states that the Great North
ern- Northern Pacific consolidation is off,
but that both roads may be ultimately
controlled through third corporation.
"That is only another way of whipping
the devil around the stump. The con
stitution OF Montana declares that no
railroad corporation shall in any man
ncr unite its business or earnings with
the business or earnings of any other
railroad corporation.
1.-The third company subtcrfuge won't
work. There can be no consolidation,
fusion, agreement or understanding that
will prevent competition. The constitu
ton says it, and the people mean to sec
that their rights are secured"
Then along comes the Herald with the
following:
Mr.. Hill seems to be persuaded that
he can evade the provisions that forbid
the consolidation of the Northern Pa
ciic and the Great Northern by organ
izing third company that shall acquire
controlling interest in both roads. Of
course this is Il question for the courte;
but it will be surprising and discour
aging revelation If it shall appear that
tho provisions referred to can be defeated
by SO obvious trick. Their object Q
not a matter of any doubt; it is to pres
vent the destruction of competition
wherever the people now have the bene'
tit Of it; and it would seem that the
courts would feel it to be their duty t.
give them such effect as to secure tina
end"

CALLING THEM DOWN.

The New York republicans have Or
ganized an open revolt against 'Boss'
Platt, and they appear to mean business.
The remarkable feature of the rebellion
is that the rebels accuse the Platt men
in the present legislature of violating
party, or platform, pledges. If the gen
tlemen are in earnest it is hopeful
sign. The time has arrived when party
declarations should be carried out. The
electors have only them for guide and
the men who accept nominations should
be ready to carry out the principles of
the platform. Failure to do this is rank
treason. The country is now suffering
because Grover Cleveland willfully and
shamefully violated the financial plank
of the convention by which he was
nominated. His treachery is the most
notable in the annals Of the country, but
he will probably be the last man to oc-
cupy the exalted position Of president
who will deliberately sell out the people
for mess of pottage. The next presi-
dent will at least carry out the views of
the people who elect him, for the decla
rations of the platform will beyond any
doubt be unequivocal.

In another column Of this paper will be
found a statement Of the city finances
that will be read with interest by the tax
payers. 1t has been carefully prepared
and can be relied upon as correct. Taken
in connection with the quarterly report
printed elsewhere it shows that Great
Falls is living beyond its means and is
getting into debt rather too rapidly. The
figures show that if we continue at the
same rate of expenditure for the re-
nainder OF the current year as has char
acterlZed the past quarter the 1lrst OF
July will find us with floating in
debtedness Of more than S72,OOO, and
even if we return to the rigid economy
of the previous administration, there
will be nearly $4,000 in outstanding
warrants. Our bonded Indebtedness is
Sl30,OOO and if to this be added
the larger sum it will make
the debt Of the city in round
number 5222 800, This is rather d seri-
GUS condition Of affairs and calls for con-
Bideratlon. 1T cannot be said that all
the blame rests upon the council, The
property owners are TO large degree re-
sponslDle. Uuder the codes the tax
levy is limited to 10 mills and at the
urgent demand Of the taxpayers the as
sessment Was reduced from 81 100000 to
about SG,0OOOO0. This reduction of both
levy and assessment makes w9ful
shrinkago III revenues, while the ex-
pensea OF conducting the government
cannot be proportionately lessened

CHEERING WORDS,

The United States does not contain a
more loyal citizen than Hon. Henry M.
Teller of Colorado. lie has occupied a
cabinet position with honor and has rep
resented his state in the United States
senate with distinguished ability. Mr.
Teller is not brilliant man, he is better
than that, he is safe man, and far bet
ter than that, he is a genuine American.
He believes that this is country that
can take care of itself. In politics he
has been a republican, but today he is a
man who is ready to sink partisanship
for the common veal. With his ripe ex-
perience he believes that the great ques-
ton confronting the nation is free coin
age In his opinion, tariff and all other
issues are but minor affairs until the
financial problem is solved in the right
manner. He is patriotic to the core. To
him the honorable distinction he has
earned in the party ranks is nothing as
compared with the public good. For the
benefit of his fellow citizens he has
turned his back upon the past, surren-
dered well deserved honors and stands
boldly as the exponent of what he knows
to be right His politics today is the
peoples Lause-free coinage.
A day or two ago Mr.. Teller was a
hurried visitor in Butte, and he met
there the cordial reception to which he
was entitled. During his stay in the
city he accorded an interview to a
representative of The Standard, and
among other things he said: II have
been Il republican ever since the repub-
lican party was organized, but don't in
tend to follow it on gold platform. |
am in entire sympathy with the repub-
lican party on its protective policy, but
that question is not of such vital i'm
portance to the country as the monetary
question, and l speak now not of the
west but of the entire United States |
am willing to go out of public life, how
ever rather than to stultify myself by
loiio"ihS any party WHICH auOpts
financial policy that is detrimental to the
best interests Of the country and the
evil influences of which would be left for
generations to come. The silver ques-
tion to my mind is one which affects the
civilization of the world"
This is the right kind of talk. The
ck iec nra brinbt for tba cilvar oa,,o All
that is needed is that the people hold to
their convictions and vote their senti-
ments. Let every man in Montana be
true to himself and bis interests.

GOING TOO FAR

Under our form of government party
shall dominate in the management of
affairs. Platforms and policies are
enunciated and it is only just and proper
that the Instruments for carrying them
into effect should be men who advocate
and believe in them. So far SO good,
but there is point at which the line
of our government that should be abso-
lutely divorced from politics: that is the
Judiciary. With a firm belief in this
doctrine it is with sincere regret that the
following is quoted from the reputable
and dignitied st. Louis Republic: "Al-
though the late Justice jackson was a
democrat appointed by Mr.. Harrison,
we trust that Mr.. Cleveland will not feel
it due to courtesy or reciprocity to ap-
point republican to succeed him. Once
more we say, and not for the last time;
TO the victors belong the spoils.'"
In certain Offices that are purely polit-
ical there is not and never has been any
reason why the vctors should not enjoy
the spoils. 1t is part and parcel of our
system. For the spoils are we politicians.
but while this rule applies to legislative
and ministerial officers it should not
have any bearing upon the judicial
branch and especially to the members
of the highest court in the land. In the
selection of gentlemen for the supreme
bench, knowledge of the law and un-
questioned integrity should be the quail
ifications. The same rule may apply to
all the judges, whether federal or state
No man who sinks the judge in the
partizan is fit tooccupy "a position on the
bench and unless the candidates are eX-
pected to do this there is no need to in
quire into their party preferences. The
power vested in the court is not intended
friends or enemies. The idea that it
should be is infamous and un-Amcrican
and must be frowncd down il we expect
to maintain any respect for the judiciary.
To their credit be it said the people of
Silver Bow county have up to date de-
clined to make a party test in the selcc-
ton of Judges. AT the last two elections
there was but one nominee in each case
and he was supported by the electors of
both the old parties and the result has
been d judiciary that gives general salts
faction. This rule can be followed with
credit and profit everywhere. Let the
statesmen and politicians enjoy the
''spoils," but let every effort be made to
prevent the courts from becoming the
tools of any party. Under our elective
system the people can elect Judges who
will administer the law and who will not
be either corporation or party servants.

THE OMAHA TROUBLE,

1t appears that the Omaha contesting
police board has come to the conclusion
that discretion is the better part of vaor
and that it will submit its claims to the
supreme court instead of taking the law
in it's own hands and involving the COM
munity in a disgraceful riot to be fol-
lowed perhaps by bloodshed. This cen-
clusion should have been reached q
month ago, but better late than never.
There is question as to which board is
the legal one and that can bs better set
tied by the court than by clubs. The
wordy war over the contest has not added
materially to the reputation of Omaha
and resort to force would have been to
it's everlasting disgrace. No matter
which side is right the conclusion to
have the dispute peacefully settled is the
proper thing to do. For this the con-
testants are not entitled to any special
credit. 1t was duty they owed to the
community and to themselves as law
abiding, self respecting citizens.

MONTANA PEONS.

The Independent must have heard
some news on the inside that indicates
that James j. Hill is yet liable to get
control of the Northern Pacific. This is
too bad, 1t keeps the Independent in a
perturbed state of mind. 1t causes it to
abandon ethics, philosophy, religion and
agriculture--it never had any politics
and plunge headlong into abuse. 1t is
responsible for it calling several of its
most respectable and mild mannered
contemporaries 'peons" of Jim Hill.
There Is no need for this exhibition of
temper. Jim Hill hasn't yet got control
of the Northern Pacific, and if the Asso-
ciated Press and the published specials
in the Independent be true he never will
get it. What's the use of kicking man
when he is down, and above all what can
be gained by exterminating the Stand
ard and Inter Mountain ny calling them
"peons?" If the Independent only real
lied the injury its anathemas does to the
papers named it would not be 80 free in
the use Of them. Please, Mr.. Indepen-
dent, take second thought; be merci-
full; give the boys over the range a
chance to see the error of their ways and
TIE TRIBUNE guarantees that if you let
up they will promise never again to men
tion jim Hill, Helena and the Northern
Pacific in the same line.

criminals of that class. There is moth

any such conduct. The reports are that

DIED AT ENA,

n-v. a.. Cury. Formerly Pastor IF tho
Congregational Church Here, Dead.
A private letter received here Tues
day brings the sad news of the death of
Rev. E. Cory, the first pastor of the Con-
gregational church here, at his late home
in Wadena, Minnesota. 1t appears that
he has been sick for the past six weeks
but it Was not till about ten days ago
that his illness was considered danger
GUS. About that time it was discovered
that he WAS suffering from an abcess in
the liver and an operation was deemed
necessary. From the operation he never
recovered, his system being IN weak
ened condition. lie retained his senses
to the last and just before he died. know
ing his end was at hand, he sent for a
great many people who were his friends
and tendery and cheerfulIy bid them
good bye. He had preached about three
years in Wadena and was greatly beloved
by his congregation there. Mr.. Cory
went to Wadena directly from Great
Falls. lie did valuable work for the
church with which he was connected in
this ci,y and left many warm friends be-
hind him. He breathed his last about 6
p. m on August H. He Was about 81
years of age, and leaves wife
aud two children. Funeral services
were held in Whdena, but the body
was shipped for burial in his old home
at Benton Harbor, Mich. Mrs. Cory will

gar, Michigan. Mr.. Cory was a graduate
of Yale Divinity school, and took his ac
ademlc course at Wabash college. His

He was a member of the Masonic frater-
nifty, and also belonged to the Ancient
Order of United Workmen. His gentle

TROUBLE AT BASIN.

The bustling progressive town OF Basin
has met with serious misfortune in the
destruction of the Katie mill. This is Il
loss not only 10 the owners of the prop
erty but also to the community. The
mill can and no doubt will soon be re-
built and the work of developing the
rich mine be prosecuted with vigor.
The suppostion is that the fire was an
accident. 1t is to be hoped that it was.
But no matter what the origin of the
fire, Basin was the scene of a far greater
calamity or crime the same night. An
attempt was made to wreck the
residence of the foreman of the
Hope mine with dynamite. In the
house at the time there were nine
other persons beside the foreman and
three of them were children. The deco
was dastardy and cowardly. No matter
what the man may have done, the effor'

TO BEAT THE LAW,

The juggle with the law in behalf of
Taylor, the defaulting treasurer of
North Dakota, has begun, and the
chances are it will continue until the
criminal escapes any punishment for his
crime. 1t will be remembered that when
Taylor surrendered he compromised by
restoring a portion of his stealings and
agreeing to plead guilty, it being then
stated that in brief period he would be
pardoned. lie has been sentenced to
five years and already the supreme court
has issued writ of habeas corpus in
his behalf From the time of his return
to this country, when he dictated terms
to the officials, no one had any idea that
he would ever be punished to degree
commensurate with his crimes. Those
who SO thought will not be disappointed.
Between the lawyers and the courts
justice will be defeated and he will be
permitted to enjoy his ill gotten gains at
his leisure and at liberty.
