Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-02-14

I Judge Blake of the district court of
Lewis and Clarke county has decided
that the act of the legislature regarding
city ownership Of water is consti-
tutional, and that if Helena desires to
own and control a water system it must
acquire the plant Of the existing water
company either by direct deal with
the owners or by condemnation proceed
ings, as it may elect. Judge Blake in
his decision adopts ruling of one of the
United States courts and declares that
counties, cities, and towns are munici.
pal corporations, created by and deriving
all their power from the legislature ex-
cept where the constitution of the state
otherwise provides; that "such corpora
tions are the mere creatures of the legis-
lative will, and inasmuch as all their
powers are derived from that source it
follows that those powers may be en-
larged, modified, or diminished at any
time without their consent or even
without notice." He finds that
there is nothing in the constitu-
tion that prohibits the legislature
from enacting such law and
concludes that it must stand. If Judge
Blake is upheld in this opinion, for it is
reasonable to suppose that it will be ap-
pealed it is of special interest to several
cities in the state, including Great Falls,
in which the question of city ownership
of water supply has been and is being
agitated. There was a general opinion,
not only among laymen, but among law
yers, that the act in question could not
run the gauntlet of the courts. 1t hes
successfully passed the district court.
What its fate will be in the higher court
remains to be seen.

RICK RDS AND OLNEY.

When Grover Cleveland issued his
Venezuelan message there we're not q
few who expressed the opinion that il
was written for political effect. The
large majority, however, agreed that il
was "hot stuff" and the short time that
has interviewed has demonstrated that il
served good purpose, even though ii
did not advance the cause or popularity
of its author. AS sensation it was a
success, the more so because it was un-
expected.
| Now comes John E. Richards, gov
ernor of Montana, with proclamation,
addressed, not to the people, but to Sec
retary of State Olney. 1t, too, is "hot
stuff" and somewhat unexpected and
has created considerable talk. The sub
ject-matter of the document is the re-
moval of the Cree Indians. 1t appears
that the governor received letter from
the secretary of state in which the lat
ter says: "lf the Dominion government
agrees to take back its wards the state
would be expected to remove them
at once" This made the governor
hot under the collar and before
he was cooled off he sat down and
penned a few lines to the secretary. He
told him the Crees were intruder5 and
nuisances, that Canada should be com
PEELED to herd them and take them
home, that it was an international ques
ton and if they had to be deported at
the expense of any one on this side the
duty devolved upon the federal not the
state authorities. Then he wound up:
"As one of the states in the union, en-
titled to whatever protection may be
afforded by the federal government in
matters of an international character,
Montana has a right to ask that your
department take necessary steps to re-
move the Cree Indians, regardless Of the
assent of the British embassy. AZ chief
executive of this commonwealth, l ask
and demand that such steps be taken
without unnecessary delay"
Bully for the governor No matter
what his motive, his letter is to be com
mended. 1t may not be couched in the
language of diplomacy, but it cannot be
misunderstood. As Cleveland with his
message made Salisbury "get off the
perch" so may Richards with his letter
compel Olney to "get gait on himself, :"
and rid US of the Crees in short order.

retary to carry them into effect. 1t was
President Grant who wisely remarked,
"the best way to secure the repeal of q
bad law is to enforce it,"
I'M MIGRATION,

AS will be seen by an article in an
other column, it has been decided by
those who are interested in the subject
that the time has arrived when Mon
tana should make concerted effort to
set forth the advantages it possesses for
those who are seeking new homes. To
this end state immigration convention
has been called to meet at Helena
March 10. 1t is reasonably expected
that delegates from every county will
attend and care has been taken to have
the personnel of the convention truly
representative. The subject to be dealt
with is certainly an important one.
The object is to invite and encourage
the coming to this state of proper
class of industrious, self-supporting
agriculturists and others who will be
producers, and to discourage the influx
of a hand-tomouth brigade without
money, trade or calling, who might
flood the cities in search of
employment wela overdrawn pic
lures of our resources and pos
sibilities scattered broadcast. There is
another matter to which the convention
should and probably viii pay careful and
intelligent consideration, that is the
many opportunities for the investment
of outside capital in mining and business
enterprises in the state. In many sec
tions of the state there are partially de-
veloped mines now idle that need only
comparatively small sums of money to
open up and make them producers. As
for business chances, no need to enumer-
ate them, but we may mention, mills
packing houses and creameries. With
its present population of workers, Mon
tana can absorb the product Of such In.
dustres, and with the increase that is
sure to come as it's mining is developed
there will be home market for the
thrifty farmer. AS The TRIBUNE under
stands it, the proposition is at present
not to talk about gigantic irrigat
ing canals On the arid lands, but
rather to induce farmers to settle
in the valleys where the supply Of
water is ample and where small tracts Of
land can be worked to advantage anc
profit by those who know how to farn
and appreciate the value of variety ir
crops If the coming convention makes
its plans and conducts its business or
the lines suggested it cannot fail to pro
duce good results. There is plenty o.
room in the state for the right kind o.
newcomers, but not enough room fol
any more of the idle and ehiftless.

Our friends, the popuiists, are in the
saddle The state central committee Of
the party has held session and ordered
that a state convention for the purpose
of eiecting dalegatee to the national con
vention be held at Boulder, June %.
The gentlemen thought it the part of
wisdom not to nominate a state ticket at
re- assembled at q late date for the pur,
pose, if it is deemed necessary The
populists are evidently playing a waiting
game in state politics They want to see
which way the cat jumps.

A SILVER JUDAS.

As self confessed. unredeemed and
unredeemable ass, ore U. S. Hall, the
representative in congress from the sec
ond district Of Missouri, unquestionabIy
has the longest ears and the loudest
bray of any jn his class. In his biogra
ply, written by himself, the member
tells US that he has been school teacher
and lawyer, but is now engaged solely in
farming. How he reached congress
without engaging in politics he leaves
the people to infer, Possibly bis con-
etituents took him away from his plow
and threw hlm bodily into the house

there. When elected Hail was free

SHOUTING TOO LOUD.

In the east the bankers and their allies
the goldbug press, are shouting them.
selves hoarse in their alleged JOY at the
result of the bond sale. Among the lat
ter class is the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
1t calls it popular response and says
that lit dispelled forever the doubt
whether the American people had faith
in the honor Of their government and
we're able to take care of its credit in
any emergency that might threaten it. u
What rot. Who ever questioned the
loyalty and patriotism Of the masses Of
the American people except Grover
Cleveland, the Wall street millionaires
and the banks and papers they control
throughout the country: The insinua-
zion that there was doubt is gratui-
tous insult to the people Further the
Pioneer Press says: The bonds are coin
bonds, rs the law requires; but it is not
necessary to say that not a solitary bid
would have been received unless the bid
ders felt absolutely certain that the gold
they offer in exchange for them would
be repaid in gold.' This may be
true Of the majority of the bidders. but
let it be remembered that out of 70,o00,-
600 people there were only 4,G40 bidders,
and among those to whom awards were
made there were only thirty individuals,
and with the Exception of Joseph Pu-
litzer's 100000 they were all for small
amounts. The remainder, fully eight
tenths. went to the new Morgan syndi-
cate aud banks and trust companies
throughout the country. 1t is beyond
dispute tLat these people will demand
interest and principal IN gold and, what
is worse, it is safe to say that they will
the gold with which to pay the later in
stailmenta and thus in few months
force another issue. On the other hand,
in spite of the Pioneer Press, it can be
said that if the government were in need
If money and had offered genuine pop
ular loan, bonds at par, bearing
3 per cent interest, and placed
them on sale at proper points they
would have heen speedily taken without
the alu Of the banks and its purchasers
would not have stopped to inquire
whether they were to be paid in gold, The
Pioneer Press did not take time 10 re-
member that the workingmen and women
of the United States have on deposit
thousands of millions Of dollars in the
savings banks on which they do not
draw more than 3 per cent interest, and
that not in gold, and they have at least
as much faith in the integrity of the gov
ernment as they have in the managers of
those institutions. The fact of the mat
ter is, it was not popular loan, and the
only redeeming feature abOlt it is that
the bankers we're compelled to pay nearly
sG,0Q00O0 more for the bouds than they
would have done had they and Cleveland
been permitted to have their way and
make a secret deal

Under the advancement Of science the
most dreaded Of diseases have toen COM
PEELED 70 yield to treatment. OF ate
years specifics have been discovered for
yellow fever, small pox and diphtheria,
ali contagious, and, II the recent past,
all considered almost fatal. BY the ap-
pliuatlOn IF the new remedies, the death
rate 10 eli Vi them has been reduced to d
minimum. Bot the latest and most i'm
portant s that of DR.. Edison, a promi-
nent New York physician and for years
health officer Of that city. He claims
that after years Of careful study and
many experiments, he has demonstrated
that even consumption can be cured.
II 6 treatment Is Il simple one, merely
the hypodermic injection Of carbollc acid
diluted with fluid he calls asceptotin,
the solution, as prepared, not being
poisonous, a5 vas the case with CaTboIic
acid diluted with any heretofore kEo" Il
property. The theory is that the basis
of consumption are germs or microbes in
the blood. that such germs when exposed
are destroyed by carboIic acid, aud now
that the acid can be injected in sufficient
quantities without harm TO the patient
it will Kill the germs or microbes in thi
blood.
DIR. Edison made his discovery in Sep
Der, 1895, and states that "up 10 dat
2l7 persons having consumption hav
been treated with it. OF these fou
showed no improvement and Of the fou
one died. The rest, 2l3, showed jm
movement. or these % have been dis
charged cured, G7 will in the opinion {
the physIcians having the cases be dis

cases the patients have been under trea

attending physicians TO say aHythin

cases the improvement WAS only temp
rary, but this record means about Az p
cent OF cures, and these cases have bef

question simply excused his desertion by
saying that he had been led by the nose
into the camp of the enemy willing
captive. There must be something be-
hind this. A man who was q school
teacher, a lawyer, and silver man be-
fore he became farmer congressman, il
possessed of ordinary intelligence, must
have had at least an idea of the financial
question and a conviction of the sound
ness of the principles he then advocated.
That he should abandon the cause after
hearing silly rumor, the only pretext
he offered, seems Incredible. Mr.. Ceve-
land and his emissaries, with patronage
at their disposal and promises on their
tongues, must be in the field.

A GREAT FIND.

The news that DR.. Nansen, the Nor
wegian explorer, has reached the North
pole and found land there, ifit be true,
verifies the adage that it is always the
unexpected that happens. The scientists
and explorers may have been awaiting
news from him, but he had passed out of
the public mind entirely. Further, the
result will be disappointing for there was
general agreement among the geogra.
pliers that when the object of such un-
ceasing and dangerous search was
reached there would be found an open
sea. DR.. Nansen says he found land.
Assuming the correctness of this report,
it may be mentioned that history repeats
itself in permitting the honor of the dis
covery to fall upon hardy Norwegian,
for the records show that the men of
that nation we're the first in Arctic re-
searches. 1t is recorded that Iceland,
which touches the arctic circle at the
north, was discovered by Naddodr, Nor
wegian viking, a. D. $50. As Dr. Nan
sen found land at the pole it is to be
hoped that he took possession in the
name Of King Oscar and planted the flag
OF his country on the spot. If he did
not some Englishman will be along in a
few days with the claim that he had
sighted the land long ago and taken pos.
session in the name of the queen and
that consequently the continent is a
part of the dominion of Great Britain.
No matter what the result OF his voyage
there is reason to think that the explorer
is on his way to civilization, as the dis
patch expresses it, and his coming will
be awaited with interest. and what he
has to tell will be listened to and read
with avdity all over the world. Whether
the discovery benefits mankind or does
not, it must be said that the settlement
of the long mooted question is of itself a
| lasting benefit.

1T SEEMS UNJUST,

Here is another nice little point for
the purch ascrs of second hand railroad
tickets to ponder over, During the past
year gentleman purchased the unused
portion of an excursion ticket from Chi
cago to San Francisco, and, in order to
utilize it he attempted to identify him
self as the original purchaser. The de-
ception was discovered and the man was
arrested, tried and convicted under the
California laws for impersonating an
other person. Had he signed the
ticket as he intended to do he would
have been tried for forgery. Railroad
companies have always contended that
excursion tickets are in the nature of d
special contract between the company
and the purchaser and that they have
right to insist that all the conditions
shall be observed. In this contention
VIC believe they have been sustained by
the courts, yet it does seem strange that
this should be the case. The ticket
is individual property, paid for at
the price asked and entities the holder
to seat in the car for the distance men
toned on its face. What possible differ
ence can it make to the company who
| occupies that seat? The refusal to honor
! the lcket, no matter when presented, is
species of petty larceny that should
not be tolerated, The alleged contract
is one sided affair, always entered INTO
by the purchaser ignorantiy or unwiIll-
iugly. and should not be held binding.

Among the most industrious advo-
Gates of the "good roads movement the
devotees of the bicycle shine conspicuous
on all ordinary occasions. This being
the case, day was set apart at the an
nual convention of the wheelmen held
at Baltimore to discuss the "good roads
question and take action to help the
cause. A program had been arranged
for the occasion, and the mayor of Balti-
more was present by invitation to epe,.k.
But it appears the delegates were toe
busy log rolling for candidates for presi-
dent of the association and for tho next
place of meeting, and not one of the m
was on hand for the good roads, pow

the same day was banquet, and it is
related that all electioneerngwass stopped
and every delegate was in attendance at

The flip Minneapolis journal evidently
considered it had scored point when it
printed the following; I'VE think in
this country that the bond subscriptions
OF some 5000, ,O00,0CO tor a slOO,OCO000

the Credit FonCier advertised for bids

price The last % per cent Paris mu-
nicipal loan was subscribed for SO times
over. When Americans 20 for public
loans in that style there will never be
any trouble keeping our bonds at home.'
The journal took good care not to mention
that the French government did not de-
maud gold in payment for the bonds nor
did it agree to pay tae interest in that
coin. That government is not in part
nership with a coterie Of bankers and
robbing the people for the money kings.
The French treasury redeems its paper
in gold or silver, as ii sees fit, and if the
United States had done the same there
would have been no necessity for loan.
