KENIUCkY CONVENTION.

Kentucky democrats have asserted
themselves in a manner hat cannot be
misunderstood. The report of the con
vention proceedings tells the story. In
dlgnant at the unWarranted interference
OF Cleveland and Carlisle during the ses-
sion OF the Legislature, by which Black
burn was defeated, the Kentucky men
decided to give the administration an
object lesson, and they have done so.
Prior to the camp align, it was given out
that Carlisle would enter the contest in
behalf Of the gold standard and the free
coinage men accepted the challenge.
The result has been made known. The
convention has not only declared for
free coinage, but it has named Senator
Blackburn for president and Watt
Hardin, the defeated candidate for GOV
ernor, for senator. This is the response
OF the kcntuCkIans to Carlisle, who, up
to a year ago, was the most popular man

PROPER RESPONSE,

Butte is at present agitated over the
appointment of a chief of the fire de.
partment. The incumbent, who seeks
reappointment, was antagonized by
many on the score of untitness and they
were REINFORCED by the insurance men,
who took an active part in the battle.
Had the latter confined themselves 20
arguments there could have been no rea.
sonable objection to their expression of
opinion. Instead of this, they sought to
accomplish their purpose, the defeat of
the chief, by a threat that if he was re-
tanned insurance rates would be in
creased % per cent. The answer of the
mayor was that bluffs didn't &c, and the
chances are the chief will hold down the
Job. We know nothing Of the merits of
the case, but we cannot help thinking
that the mayor was right. The attempt
OF the agents to dictate who shall not
hold Il position under the city is impu-
dent, to say the least. AS for the threat
of raising rates, that will take care o:
itself. There is a large amount of incur
ance carried in Butte, the competition is
great, the risks not especially hazardous,
and the companies or the agents can be
relied upon not TO do anything that will
with their business. IF it lie
decided that the chief shall continue TO
do business at the old stand there is not
much danger of the agents seeking fresh
fields.

PORT OF

After a long wait and due considera-
ton, the authorities at Washington
have recognized the eternal fitness of
things and have designated Great Falls
as the port of entry for the customs dis
trict of Montana and Idaho. That this
is the proper point for the headquarters
of the collector hes long been conceded,
for here it is that fully 90 per cent of
the goods coming into this district find
their terminal. The new deal will give
an added dignity to the city, and, while
the immediate benefits of the change
may not be very material, it may have
an effect that, in the near future, will be
appreciable. No matter what the pres
ent or ultimate resulte, the loca.
ton Of the port here is a mat
ter for congratulation. The movement
that has eliminated in the order of the
secretary Of the treasury was instituted
several years ago by the board of trade.
but met with delay and temporary fail
ure. 1t was revived some months ago
by several leading citizens, and since
tben bias been vigorously pushed, The
aid Of Senators Mantle and Carter and
Representative Hartman was che4rfully
given the project, and to them is due in
a great degree the accomplishment Of the
purpose. In all justice it must he said,
that their efforts were zealously and per-
eistently seconded by several of the
most prominent citizens of the state, res-
ident in other localities. To all the
thanks due for the uuseltish interest
manifested and labor performed are re-
turned.
1t may also be we'll to mention that
in furthering the object the citizens of
Great Falls were a unit. Every mar
who had any influence used it where it
would do the most good. All worked
for a common purpose ana are naturally
pleased at the outcome. This suggests,
not the idea, but the fact. that there are
other matters in the way Of enterprises
that could be secured that would re.
aouhu W tDe material behtul OF The
community, To secure them, however,
requires united and persistent work
They will not come unsolicited. The
business men owe it to themselves to set
in motion a wheel whose revolutions will
bring something to their doors. The op-
%porturitles are ample If they are ON
braced, Now is a good time to make a
fresh start. Decide what is best 10 do
and then 60 ahead and do it.

give another evidence of itssubeerviency
to Wall street. The committee on ways
and mean has decided to report adj

be defeated in the house. This mean
that when the campaign fairly opens
there will be another bond issue, out Of

THE AN1I-ROND BILL

a majority Of the senate of the United
States has voted that the issue of inter.
est-bearing bonds for any purpose what
ever shall cease, unless the authority of
congress be first obtained. This I'M
portant conclusion was not hastily
reached. II is the result Of due deliber.
alton and after an exhaustive debate,
during which both sid rs of the question
were given careful consideration and at
tention. AS he cast his vote, every sen.
ator was fully aware Of the responsible
ity he assumed and the consequences
that might follow, In the present TEN.
per of the house it is probable that it
Will also pass the bill, though it IS possi
bic that Wall street and the adminietra-
ton can muster enough strength TO de
feat it. One thing Is certain, the passage
Of the act will meet the approval of d
vast majority of people. This alleged
power Of the administration to issue
bonds whenever it saw tit to do so hes

president was oheyed and legislation
demanded BIZ enacted. Ii this auti- bond
act he passed it will call 4 halt. What
the result, remains to be seen. With his
stubborn rgoljsm, Mr.. Cleveland can
be relied upon to do whatever lies in his
power to maze its effects the NEST dis
a7troua. Instead Of attempting TO pro
tect the gold reserve he will throw open
the doors Of the treasury and bid the
sharks help themselves. He viii give
the people ar Object lesson of the fruits
Of running counter TO his wishes, The
reserve will dWipdle to a low ebb if il
does not disappear, and we will be
treated by The robbers to a howl about
national dishonor and bankruptcy, All
this the senators understood when they
cast their votes. They had examined
into the situation and made up their
minds that the time had arrived to force
issue. The gold standard men,
Wall street and Lombard street had
their way long enough. The end
less chain by means of which they have,
with the aid Of the treasury, been piling
up the national debt that they might
revel in gold at the peoples expense,
is worn, and now tho time has come
when it must be snapped. The country
has been on the defensive; it is O pro
posed to change the system. The bug
abOo OF the direful consequences that
would follow the failure Of the govern
mant to pay in gold has lost its terrors.
The lying cry about the impairment Of
the national credit il about to be put TO
the test, and proved false. The hnan-
cial strength Of the nation is to be vindi-
Gated, and it is to be shown that this is
