METHODIST WOMEN.

The women members of the Methodist
church have for long time been de-
manding such say in the administra-
ton OF the affairs of the church as could
be secured by their admission as lay
delegates in the general conference. For
some reason the brothers have stub
bornly held out against this innovation.
Aggressive in many matters, the church
authorities have been conservative in
this one. Defeats have only spurred the
ladies to renewed efforts to accomplish
their purpose, and though it has been
uphill work they have nearly gained
their point. The question has, under
the rule of the church, Just been sub
mitted to vote of all the conferences,
and though it requires two.third vote
in its favor they only lacked 1S of secur-
ing a victory. If the ladies know the
rudiments of politics they will allege
fraud, a miscount, or some other reason,
and demand recount. To submit to
a defeat by a measly IS votes in so
many will be a reflection upon their
capacity to render service in the posi-
tions to which they aspire. Let the
election be contested

From the..s.Billings Gazette we learn
that an agent of the Northwest Maga-
zine visited that city and tried to wheedle
the Commercial exchange into paying
him 800 for write up Of the town. 1t
is gratifying to know that the honor was
gently but firmly declined. 1t would
have been money thrown away, under
any circumstances, and, besides, this
same magazine has never been friend
to the state or its interests. Smalley,
the owner, has been sort OF an adjunct
to the Northern Pacific and has at
various times induced different Montana
cities to pungle up generously for special
editions. That time has passed, Whether
they realize it or not, if citizens have
money to expend for advertising their
city, the home paper is the one to pat
ronize. 1t is not only patriotic, but it
pays the best.

Louis after the Pennsylvania men shall
have cast complimentary vote for
Quay. The delegates at large are no
doubt all Quay men, but what of the
district delegates? Have they been cor
rallied by the machine or reached by the
peculiar and substantial arguments of
Mark Hanna in behalf of Mckinley?
The detection in the convention shows
that some mysterious influence has been
working wonders. How far it extends is
the question. About the third ballot at
St. Louis will tell the story. While
Quay is an able general the best of them
sometimes suffer defeat, and unless
Quay has been playing double with the
opposition to Mckinley and has ar
ranged at the right time to go to the
Ohio man there is decided defeat star
ing him in the face.

The godbug administration senators
appear to be over anxious to prevent an
inquiry into the bond sales to the syndi-
cate. There must be reason for this.
II the deal was on the square, there is no
reason why an investigation should not
be welcomed. Mr.. Cleveland. and Mr.
Carlisle and the syndicate may prevent
the inquiry, but the fact that they have
done so will leave an impression on the
public mind that the transaction will not
stand the light Of day. Further than
this, the public cannot but believe that
Wall street is still power in the senate.

According to Ii special dispatch from
st. Paul to the Anaconda Standard the
merchants Of the Twin cities find that
their trade with Montana has mater .Ily
decreased and have been investigating as
to tho cause. They claim to have dis
covered that many OF the Montana brsi.
ness men are virtually enforcing boy
colt against the wholesalers Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis because of the Mime
sofa antifree silver feeling, and that the
trouble has been stirred up and inten-
eified by the agents of Chicago, Omaha,
and ST. Joe houses. The dispatch quotes
a prominent business man of Mime
apolis, who is named, as saying, "Now,
as matter Of fact, the business men of
Minneapolis take no very prominent
part in political affairs and nobody
knows whether they favor free silver, BIZ
metallism, or what not"
This is refreshing. No one knows
where the business men stand on the
subject Of free coinage, but they do
know that the press of Minnesota, which
is supported by these business men, is
the most vindictive, unscrupulous and in
famous opponents of the cause of BIZ
metallism in the land. As for the Mon
tana men, they know that this state has
been the best customer that Minnesota
merchants have had, that during even
the dark days of the panic Montana
managed to buy and pay for and sell
goods and that most of their trade went
to the cities that are now complaining.
THE TRIBUNE does not know whether
boycott is being enforced or whether the
falling off is due to the fact that bust
ness has been depressed by reason Of
the closing down of the silver mines
and smelters. No matter what the cause
it is glad to know that patronage is be-
ing withheld from merchants OF the
Twin Cities. They are not entitled to
any fayors at the hands of the people OF
Montana, and should not receive any.
Possibly when the shoe pinches little
tighter the business men will take some
interest in politics and let the people
know where they stand on the all-im-
portant subject Of finance. They may
just as we'll understand that those who
are not for us are against us, and that
we prefer an open enemy to man who
is afraid to show his hand, So long as
the Minnesota press is permitted, if not
encouraged, by the merchants to wage its
war against silver, one of the great in
terests Of Montana, the merchants have
no right to ask business from ue. II it
is boycott, let it be kept up

Now comes the latest in the shana of

Now comes the latest in the shape of a
bicycle trust, to include all the leading
manufacturers. After looking at the
machines and then at the price list one
would suppose that the makers have
very soft snap at present. 1t appears,
however, that the big factories who are
trading on their names and demanding
high prices under the claim Of better
goods are being cut into by new rivals
that the public is beginning to find and
purchase excellent machines at lower
prices. HENCE the proposed combine.
The TRIBUNE raises its voice against the
new deal. 1t can stand the combines to
regulate the price and production of
such luxuries as coal, sugar, OIL and
lumber, but when it comes to apply the

nor in the hope or expectation of
political preferment; their only aim
will be the common good, and will
of itself insure them respect
full hearing from their fellow men
and add weight to what they may say.
This movement must find encourage
ment and support, for it portends as
much good for the cause as the speeches
and debates of men Of more prominence
in national and political circles. The
cause of free coinage is the cause OF the
workingman of the east, and it is proper
that he should be convinced of this fact
by the men of the west, who have a COM
mon interest with him in return to
national prosperity that can only be &C.

Among the quaint dispatches that
have recently come across the water is
one referring to the death of Baron
Hirsch, in which mention is made of the
newspaper comments on the deceased,
in which they spoke of the loss his death
will be to charities, to the turf and
especially to royalty, to members of
which he loaned vast sums of money. {"
The reputation of the baron as philan-
thropist was world wide, and it must be
admitted that his gifts were at once
munificent and practical. Yet it now
appears that spendthrift royalty was in
directly footing the bills. In other
words, that he "robbed Peter to pay
Paul" This, however, does not detract
from his merits, for the disposition he
made of his wealth, no matter how he
obtained it, benefited many deserving
ones who would otherwise have suffered.

The Inter Mountain in a pleasant and
able article upon the possibilities of the
platform of the two great parties on the
financial question takes occasion to say
that it would like to see Bland and
Cameron the respective candidates, for
both being sound silver men, that ques-
ton would be eliminated from the
campaign, and the issue would then be
purely political. This is all very nice,
but the Inter Mountain is begging the
question. 1t knows that Don Cameron
nor any other free coinage man will not
be nominated by the republicans, that IS
just as certain as that the convention
will meet at ST. Louis. The Inter Noun
tain has insisted that free coinage is the
paramount Issue, and that all others
must be subordinated to it. This being
the case, the people of Montana are
anxious to know what course the Inter
Mountain will pursue if Bland or any
other silver man ia nominated by the
democrats and Mckinley by the repub-
llcans, as now seems probable. The
conundrum is not a very hard one. let it
be answered
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-04-24
TOM POWER PROTESTS.

The republican press of the state have
caught on to the report that Commodore
Tom Power is making sneaking cam.
paign to secure his being sent to the ST.
Louis convention at the head of the
Montana delegation, and that his es-
pecal interest in the matter is to aid the
cause of Allison. So far as noticed, the
republican papers do not take kindly to
the scheme, and rather insist that the
Montana delegates shall 60 pledged to
work and vote for a candidate who is
known to be on the square for free
coinage. II this be the case, Allison
will not fill the bill by a jug full. But
the discovery of his plot and the publi-
cation of it has alarmed the commodore,
and his organ, the River Press, coming
to the rescue, denounces the story as
democratic canard, and, to clinch the
matter, says that if Power had any such
designs be would have captured the
Choteau county delegates, intmatirg
that would have been an easy Job
for him. 1t says, further, that
neither Tom nor his brother, John
W.. were in attendance at tho Chotoau
convention. 1t may be the statements
the commodore do him an in
justice, but we all know that he is a
very slick and slippery gentleman, and
it appears to us that the River Press
doth protest too much. A man at all
acquainted with politics in Choteau
county would naturally reach the con-
clusion that if Tom and brother John
were not at that gathering in person,
they were there in spirit. This is not
fight, but The TRIBUNE does
not want to see it's republican friends
made the victims of conspiracy and
will, therefore, aid in exposing schemes
to sell them out to the goldbugs when
ever opportunity offers.

LIVELY CORPSE.

1t is just as plain as the nose on
mans face that Wall street, the admins
tration and the Associated Press are now
willing to admit that the ''silver craze"
is not dead. On the contrary, they now
concede. with alarm, that it is very much
IN evidence and will be more 60 at the
Chicago convention. There is ample
evidence at hand to convince even so OBJ
stinate man as Mr.. Cleveland that he
has lost his pull with the democratic
masses, and that all tho power OF the ad-
mlnlstration and the work CT the office
holders will not be able to stem the sill
yer tide that is setting toward Chicago
He now realizes that he is not the demo-
cratic party, the arbiter of its destinies
nor the controller of its policies. The
far east, or the men who dominate the
party in that section, and who have die
ta'ed his conduct, are still with him and
for single gold standard; but the west,
the south and the middle west have, SO
far as heard from, declared for free COIN
age, and the ranks of the silver mon will
be reinforced as state after state holds its
Is it any wonder that Wall
street is reaoubling it's efforts in behalf
Of Mckinley, that the Associated Press

Cleveland has gone fishing?

The last OF the regular appropriation
bills has been passed by the house, and
what bothers Mr.. Reed and his hench-
men is how that body can occupy it's
time without making political mistakes.
No adjournment can be had until the
senate has acted on all the bills, and it
does not appear to be in any great hurry.
In the meantime, much mischief can be
done If the house enters upon general
legislation, and how to prevent that and
find something to do is what is worry ing
the speaker.

Suicide number two has appeared in
Butte and now the question ia, who will
be the third? This character OF crime
always has three victims within a rea-
sonable time. In most cases there is no
apparent relation between thoee who &C.
complished self-destruction within the
fateful number, but the Butte suicide OF
yesterday wa an exception to this rule.
The young man who ended his life in
Butte yesterday was friend and en-
ploye Of Kelly, whose suicide startled that
community last week. Who will be the
third, when will it occur and what cause
will be assigned! Until it comes there
will be feveriah curiosity and expecta-
lion in the great mining city.

WOOL AND TAkIEE.

The latest scheme OF the goldbug ennis
sarles to break down the free coinage
sentiment in the west is an appeal to the
sheepmen and their friends ou the mat
ter Of the tarltf. The plan is to promul
gate the idea that the western senators
have abandoned the tlockmastere to their
fate and defeated the Dingley bill to
their detrimant and for the benefit Of
the miners. This is lie on its face. So
far as woolis concerned it has been dem
onstrated beyond question that the
Dingley bill is Il fraud, that it would not
benefit the wool grower, and was framed
only to protect the manufacturers of the
east. A study of the letter of President
Lawrence of the National Wool Growers
association on the speech of Senator
Carter will prove this to the most skep-
tical. We do not believe that the Mon
tana men will be caught by any such
arguments as are being advanced by the
Wall street men, or that they can be led
into supporting a candidate of either
party for nomination or election who is
not square on the silver question. The
wool industry is an important factor in
this state and is entitled to protection,
but it does not follow that those who are
engaged in it should lose sight of the
greater ndustry-mining- for pique
play into the hands of its worst enemies.
Let the, ,sheepmen consider we'll the en-
tire situation and govern themselves
accordingly. This is no time for Mon
tana men to divide.

A GOOD MOVE.

One OF the best moves that has been
inaugurated in behalf Of the free coinage
propaganda is that set on foot by the
Trades and Labor council of Silver Bow
county. That body of gentlemen has
just organized an annex and its objects
are stated as follows: ITO provide
means for securing and maintaining
members of our labor unions, who are
qualified to lecture on the subject, to
travel throughout the east from now un-
til after the presidential campaign, and
arrange to. lecture and organize and an
mex this bureau of finance or head
quarters for the discussion of the silver
question and for receipt of bimetallc
literature in as many labor headquarters
as possible, these lecturers to receive
s3 so per day and hotel and travelling OK
penses and to be furnished by their
union with such cards and credentials as
will secure for them an entry into their
respective organizations throughout the
country"
This is an eminently practical propo-
sition, and should receive material aid
and be put in operation as soon as pos
sible. 1t is among the workingmen of
the east that missionary work must be
done, and who better qualified for the
task than the workingmen of the west?
The labor ranks of Montana contain
many men whose Intelligence and study
fitRthem for the important duty. They
are laborera, not demagogues. Their
calling and association will permit them
to enter the meeting halls of their
brethren in the east and afford
them proper opportunity TO dis
passionately discuss the all-impor-
tant subject of finance and it's
relation to the toiline producers. They
will not enter upon the work for gain,

The board of prison commissioners has
decided to erect large addition to the
Deer Lodge penitentiary. 1t is under
stood that when the people of Billings
and Yellowstone county heard that

had mass meeting and unanimously
resolved to support Gov. Richards and
Attorney General Haskell for renomina-
tion and reelection. The voters of that
section fully appreciate the action OF the

From San Francisco comes the news
that some Of the members Of the counci
which tried Rev. Brown and voted for
his acquittal now express the opinion
that he Was guilty. This is rather a re-
markabIe change Of base. No new evil
dence has been brought forward to in
duce it. The reasonable supposition is
that it was expected that after the trial
had ended in his favor the reverend gen
tleman, with his tarnished reputation,
would seek new fields. This he refuses
to do, but insists that he is as good as
the best Of them and will remain.
Wherefore the members of the council
are mad. The general public have surely
been Of the opinion that the ministerial
jury stretched point in favor of the
accused brother, and the allegation that
some of them have faced about sub
stantiates this belief. That they are
determined to get rid of him is made
certain by this mornings dispatches,
and if Brown has any sense left he will
get up and get without delay. If his
brothers conclude to 60 after him in real
earnest there will not be shred of his
reputation left. He had better
save the struggling remnants.

The French senate has at last forced
the Bourgeois cabinet TO resign, and stir
ring news may be looked for from the
republic. The chamber of deputies has
repeatedly voted lis confidence in the
ministry, and the senate has frequently
interposei what may be called its veto.
This difference Of opinion has led TO a
wide breach between the two Legislative
branches, and the results may vet be
serious 1t is possible that President
tauTe may name new cabinet OF such
satisfactory character that trouble will
be averted, but it is more probable that
the chamber in its present angry humor
will not be disposed to pay any heed to
conciliatory measures. In the present
condition of affairs in Europe, France
needs internal peace, not dssenson, and
it is certain that the president will bend
all his energies to calm the storm.
