In Days OF chivairv.

The days of chivalry were not really
days of profound respect for women.
Young women were kept locked up in
a convent until they were married, and
locked up in their husbands castles
the rest of their lives, with severe
duennas to watch every movement.

WATER pow Err,

The Globe Democrat is responsible for
the statement that it cost 100000 and
five years Of labor to harness Niagara
falls, but the task has been accomplished
and the result is an available force of
10000 horse power. This may be true,
we do not think that it is, but the fact
remains that Great Falls can discount
the horse power. The capacity has not
been measured, but from the city for a
distance of 20 miles there is not an inch
of water that cannot be utilized for
electrical or other purposes. Niagara
may be great, but the Missouri at Great
Falls is greater. Don't make any mis-
take about this proposition. Up to date
we have only harnessed a little ripple
and it furnishes power enough to make
us known as the Electric City" When
we tackle the real falls Niagara and
New York will have to stand from under.

pany says il the council agree to the
proposition in good faith, its books and
accounts will be open to inspection in
order that the sum total for the sale
may be determined. That the sum will
be a large one is certain, yet there is a
positive element Of justice in the de-.
mand. The water works or any other
investment is worth what it will earn,
not what it has cost. Those who own
the property assumed risks and expended
large amounts. That the investment was
a success is their advantage; in many
cities, especially in the west, similar en-
terprises have resulted disastrously to
the investors. In this case, in addition
to the plant, the company holds a valu-
able franchiss that has years to The
earning capacity of the company is in-
%creasing yearly, but, as we understand
it, the company is willing to surrender
all its rights and step down and out
if it is paid according to the
present receipts. No decision has
yet been reached, and another
meeting will be held in a few days and
the matter discussed in detail. On both
sides it is a business proposition. The
question is not whether the company
can make money by selling, but whether
the city caE make money by purchasing.
This will no doubt be fully inouired into
and a conclusion reached. If the com.
pany can make money by continuing
there is no reason why the city should
rot, and it will certainly have the benefit
of a steady increase in Let
the discussion be thorough and good
tempered. If an agreement can be
reached, we'll and good; if not, let the
company continue to operate. There
will be neither good judgment nor JUS
tice in invoking a litigation.

CAPITAL

A band of Kansas cranks calling them
selves the Independent American party
are said to be holding a convention in
Topeka. Who they are and what they
are we do not know, but they have Sc.
cured the aid of the associated press to
inform the country that the primary ob.
ject of the party is to agitate the re
moval of the the national capital from
Washington to a point in the West. The
funny part about the proposition is the
alleged reason, which il, that Washing
ton is too near Wall street. Could any
suggestion be more silly. The idea, that
in these days of rapid transit and rail-
road facilities, a distance Of a few hun
dred miles would make any difference to
the money kings is absurd. No matter
where the legislature might meet there
would be found the lobby. If that is the
only argument the Independent Amer
lean party can advance for the removal
it had better give up the ghost. 1t is too
thin.

REAL MEN.

Skilled labor is entitled to credit the
world over. Montana has it's full quota
Of the hardy sons Of toll. They are not
only the great factors in our material
progress, they are among II best citi-
zens. For this reason it is pleasant to
record that in a miners contest at Grip
pie Creek, Colorado, two Butte teams
carried off the prizes. The competition
was open to the world, and the Montana
men got away with the baggage. For
this evidence eff plowess in the noblest
of fields Great Falls sends it's congratu-
~lations to Butte, the greatest mining
camp on the earth. The names of the
winners in the drilling contest were
Frithv and Fallan and Burns and Camp
bell. They will not make as much
money out of the drill nor gain as much
notOricty as Corbctt and Fitzsimmons,
but they are better men and better citi
zens in every sense Of the word than the
bruiscrs who are to meet at Dallas next
month.

CAN THE BE TkUEo

God forbid that The TRIBUNE should
say a word against any legitimate rail
road enterprise in the state of Montana.
Wien the Helena gentlemen with a
flourish Of trumpets announced that they
had arranged TO build the road to Castle
We were glad and appreciative. We real
ICED like the sinner:
This vas the wey we long had sought,
And mourned because we found it not.
The idea that Helena could build any
road but d road on paper was refreshing.
But now comes the New Northwest of
Deer Lodge, by the way a reputable
paper and with an editor who will hold
his own with the best of them, which
says: AN advertisement is now running
in an eastern paper calling for 800 men
to work grading the road in Sixteen-Mile
Creek canyon, near Toston. The adver-
tisement states that the wages paid is
- per day, less So per week for board.
Supplies are furnished by the company
on the ground. Payments are made for
labor in time checks, which are secured
by first mortgage bonds on the railroad.
These checks can be sold at Is cents on
the dollar. but they are worth more, and
will doubtless be paid on the completion
OF the road Probably to an eastern
man this Is an a~iluring offer. 1t is not
hard to figure out how the man who &C.
cepts the offer will find himself in debt
1t the end of his period of labor. The
rules are that the men working for the
company must buy their goods from the
contractors at the contractors prices.
The time checks, stated in the ADVERTISE
snent to be worth - cents on the dollar,
are not salable in any city in the state"
1t would be wrong to take this state
ment without q grain Of allowance, but
f it be true it ia worthy OF investigation
by the workingmen.

or two during the festivities.

TIL PARK GROUND.

At the picnic at the park Monday
liquor was sold and as a result a few men
became boisterous and disorderly and as
a consequence marred the pleasure of
the many, especially the women and
children. 1t is an ungracious task on
the part of a newspaper TO call attention
to such things, yet justice to all demands
that il be done. If THE TRIBUNE is
rightly informed this is the first occasion
on which Intoxicating liquors have been
sold in the park; let it be the last. The
council or the park commission can reg
ulate the matter and it is to be expected
that it will be done. Thanks to the
energy and liberality of the Carpenters
union, and of the citizens, a handsome
pavilion has been erected and the
grounds are now available as a pleasure
resort for all who seek recreation. Let
them enjoy themselves in peace.

From some source there has come a
story that the Cubans have offered
Spain $500, 600, 900 for their liberty.
This may be true and, if it is, only Illus
trates how rapidly property increases in
value. There was a time, within the
memory of comparatively young men,
during President Buchanan's admins
tration when $40, 900 would have
purchased the island and made it a part
of the United States. The world do
move and it moves more rapidly than
Rev. Jaspar ever dreamed of in his
peculiar theology.

La response to an eastern correspond
emit, John K. Lesh, a well-known citizen
of Denver, made rather a wholesome an
swer as to the durability of the mines of
the west. Ia his letter he referred di.
rectIy to the of Colorado, but
his statements are equally applicable to
any of the mineral producing states of
the west, and are we'll worth publishing
and reading in Montana. Here is what
he save in part:
Il would say that your inquiry as to
the likelihood of exhausting the mines
is one Of those questions which make
people in this country smile. If you
were thinking of investing in Pennsyl-
vaLia would you write to ask il the coal
or i ron mines are likely to soon be ex-
hausted? Such a question sent to a real
estate dealer in Pittsburg would make
the whole country laugh. Yet silver and
gold mines are as permanent as coal and
iron mines. But Colorado has more coal
and iron than Pennsylvania, and has a
greater industrial future entirely aside
from her precious metals.
"There are more than $4,000 gold and
silver veins running indefinitely down
into the bowels Of the earth, discovered
and opened in Colorado. Thousands
of these do not pay to work under pres
ent conditions, but with improved ma
chinery, reduced cost Of labor, railroad
developments and lessened interest on
capital they will come into active produc-
ton as the years and generations roll on.
"When l came to Colorado sixteen
years ago l asked just such questions as
you ask now, But within six months l
came to regard such inquiries as alb
surd. In fact, during my sixteen years
mere, perhaps not a dozen mines have
given out in the whole state, whereas
thousands of new and rich ones have
been discovered. The vast population
which our mining regions are capable OF
supporting under full development with
IN the next generation can hardly be ap-
preciated.
Nothing is SO reliable a support for a
city as mines of all sorts. By mines l
mean veins in the earth of coal, iron,
gold and silver. There is one tunnel be-
ing run in this state to cut gold veins
more than $500 feet beneath the surface.
This tunnel will cost S5,0OO,000, and it
will be five years in the course Of con
struction. When finished it will take 20
years by the most rapid processes to
work out the veins already discovered,
which it will cut. 1t is probable that
out of this tunnel will be gotten as much
as 5lO0,0O0,O0O."

From the Anaconda Recorder it is
learned: The Rev. Jerry Rounder, of
Butte, is the happy father of a daughter
This is a roundabout way for the news
to reach Great Falls, but then the "Rev.
Rounder" was always peculiar. The
best we can wish "Rounder" is that the
girl will grow up to be a captain in the
Salvation Army. If she does she will
discount the old mans sermons, congre-
cation and steeples. He is good enough
in his way. but he appears to have been
sowing his wheat among tares. The girl
may do better.

LAWS.

The revenue officers of the govern
ment have been visiting all the cities in
the state and hunting up violators CT
the law. From the reports from differ.
ent sections it would appear that the Of
ficials, like death, love a shining mark.
Those who have been hauled up are
among the ~best-known citizens. There
is but little doubt that the accused are
guilty OF a technical violation of the law,
but the general opinion is that they are
morally not responsible. While igno-
rance is neither an excuse nor a %justifi.
cation for infringing the statutes it can
be properly plead as an extenuating
circumstance. The present roundup
will have one gooo effect, for it will teach
the dealers many points in the revenue
law of which they never had any
idea. Here, for instance, is a
statement made by the Anaconda
Standard that it is safe to say is not
known to one-tenth of those who deal in
cigars. The Standard says:
"Opening the box does not destroy the
stamps. Usually cigar dealers after a
box is exhausted break in the lid of d
box and throw it to one side. But this
does not destroy the stamp, and it is un-
derstood that a number of arrests are
pending on this o%tfense.
at also seems that q cigar dealer has
no right to take a cigar from a box and
hand it to a purchaser. The dealer
must hand out the box or 'package'
and let the purchaser take a cigar him
self. The dealer, under Uncle Sans
law, is a lawbreaker when be takes a
cigar from the box and hands it to any
one.
$50 the chances are that every saloon
keeper, cigar dealer, druggist, grocery
man, and almost everyone else in town
is an offender against this stringent
law"
This is surely news, and of a remark
able character. just why it should be
illegal for a dealer to hand out a single
cigar is n Of them things a fellow can
not find out" The legislators might
with equal propriety say that when a
man calls for a glass Of beer or whisky
the dealer should turn him loose at the
keg or barrel and tell him to help him
self. However, the law must be enforced
and we must let it go az it lays.

TIE WATER QUESTION.

For som time past there has been
more or less agitation Of the question
as to whether the city of Great Falls
should acquire and operate the water
works. In the main public opinion has
been favorable to the proposition and
cow a point has been reached which
makes it necessary to have a decision.
AT the request Of the city council the
management Of the water company Sat-
urday submitted a proposition to that
body. 1t is printed in another column,
and while to ome it may seem indie
finite, it is readily susceptible of e~xplana-
ton. The plain English Of it is that the
water company is willing to sell to the
city for a sur equal to the earning
capacity of the plant, making six
per cent per annum net as the
basis. What the amount will be at
these figures lie not stated. The COM

LEGAL OPINIONS,

Mr.. Bowler, the comptroller of the
treasury, who has for a time been consid-
ering the matter, has finally decided that
under the law he is vested with judicial
authority, and in accordance with that
conclusion he has issued a dictum that
the sugar bounty law is unconstitutional.
In with this idea Mr.. Bowler
has positively declined to issue warrants
to the Louisiana planters for whose ben
cit the law was enacted. This seems a
remarkable assumption of authority on
the part of the comptroller, but it is
only in line with the president of the
United States. From the day that he
WAS indicted into office he has persist
emily. wilfully and deliantly ignored the
law. In this he has had a will.
ing assistant in the person of
the secretary of the treasury. BY
the order of the chief the terms of the
law requiring that the obligations of the
government shall be paid in coin have
been conspicuously dieregarded. Mr..
Cleveland has insisted that coin meant
gold and has robbed the treasury in
spite of law in order to aid the goldbugs.
The time is coming when it will be in
order to know the relative rights of the
judicial and administrative officers. If
the executive departments are to pass
upon important questions of law the Judi.
ciary may as we'll be abolished.
