MATTER OF HONOR.

The latest nauseating dose Of Hama.
ism comes from Cleveland, where ata
swell banquet the Mckinley manager
reported to have said: about two
years ago, not queti that hong, l began
my work of devotion and love to our
chief. Two years ago | took from him
my inspiration, and when he laid upon
me that confidence which he felt and
said, My friend, I trust you with my
future he also said, Mark, there are
some things l will not do to be president
of the United States and l leave my
honor in your hands, and from that day,
nearly two years ago, began this cam
paign."
In the face of history why should such
not bs imposed GA the people: II is
known to all men that when Hanna en-.
tered upon his tack he levied contribu.
tons from eastern manufacturers and
with the money purchased southern de-
egatione to the St. Louis convention
and thus secured the nomination. When
did bribery become honorable? 1t la
known that after the nomination vast
sums were secured from the bankers
trusts and corporations and a campaign
of corruption and intimidation entered
upon that easily double discounts any
previous efforts in the same line; yet

GREAT FALLS,

In THE TRIBUNE of yesterday there
was printed rather an encouraging talk
with a we'll known citizen of Great Falls
on the outlook for this city. His gen.
eral remarks regarding the loosening of
money in the east and the Inauguration
of new enterprises may be all right to a
certain extent, but it must be remem-
bered that those were all in the nature
of election promises. What he says
about j. j. Hill is different. Beyond
question if Mr.. Hill desires to aid in the
material advancement of Great Falls it
is in his power to do 30. He can both
influence and command capital and is
30 situated that if he desires to invite
investments at this point he can offer
the investors something in return. Has
he made up his mind to do SO? Is the
question. 1t would seem as though he
had, for, unless such was the case, there
was no necessity for him to say that
next summer would see more lively
times than any previous summer in the
history Of the city. In this connection it
will not be amiss to quote from the
Butte Inter Mountain the following re-
garding one OF the new and large prop.
critics in Butte: "All the properties OF
the company controlling the Poulin have
been developed to such point that they
| cpn ha mada producara IN abort nntira
and the company will not, in all probs'
bility, do much more work until satisfac,
tory arrangements are made for the cree
ton of a smelter at some convenient
point. 1t is more than likely that upor
the opening OF spring plans will have
been completed for the construction OF
big plant for the purpose Of working tht
ores from the mines OF the Washoe Cop
per company"
Here is an opportunity for the citizen
OF Great Falls. Let them for a TIM
knock off quarrelng and wranglins
about minor matters, stop fighting cap
ital and enterprises already established
here, and unite in an effort to secur,
the active cooperation OF Mr.. Hill il
having the Washoe smelter located here
If Mr., Hill viii! agree, advantages super
ior to any locality in the state a b,
offered the company, and, if proper.

matter Of freight rates Great Falls is en-
titled to some consideration,
THANKSGIVING.

To their credit be it said, the evangel-
ical ministers of Great Falls have deter
mined to make a practical test OF the
Christian spirit in the observance Of
Thanksgiving day. They will meet and
pray in one common place with their
congregations, but they will do more.
According to announcement, q collection
will be taken up and the proceeds de-
voted to alternating the needs Of the dis
tressed during the winter that is. upon
us. 1t is just such deeds Of practical
Christianity that appeal to the better
natures Of the non professors Of religion.
Their hearts are always in the right
place. The tenets of a creed may be too
narrow for them, but the brotherhood Of
man ever finds a responsive throb. Let
the ministers devise a plan to reach this
element. issue an appeal to people who
do not 60 to church, guarantee that the
funds will be properly applied, designate
a central place to the receipt Of subscrip-
lions and we believe the response will be
ready.

WEYLER IN THE FIELD.

Under intense pressure Gen. Weyler
was compelled to take the field and be.
gin active operations against the Gu.
ban insurgents, and, according to re.
ports, he is not making very encourag.
ing Roadway. II Maceo would only
fight the chances are that Weyler, with
his superior number, would defeat him,
But Maceo is not anxious for q pitched
battle. He a do better. He can lead
the Spaniard a merry chase in the
mountain country and worry and evads
him. There have been reports of 8
skirmish or two, but they were not au.
thentic, and, if they did occur, amounted
to but little. Yesterday, however, a
staff officer arrived in Havana from the
front and he gave out rather an inter.
esting budget. The most important
item was that 700 sick Spanish troops
had been sent to the capital and that 800
more we're en- route. This has an omi.
nous look, for the rainy season
has really only commenced. or lees
Importance, but rather suggestive was
the remark that "the captain general
slept two rainy nights on the ground
without blankets and had been several
times without meals" This is rough on
the great man, and is in marked con.
trast with his mode of life in the palace
at Havana, but we suppose he will have
to grin and bear it. OF course we do
not wish Weyler any personal harm, but
it would not be a bad thing, if, while
that fever is roaming about among the
troops, it would make a temporary call
upon him. That might have some in.
fiuence on the situation for better or
worse.

WHERE WILL THEY CAMP ?

Henry Watterson, Of the Louisville
Courier journal, has delivered himself OF
a long range interview on the political
situation in the United States. Henry
is in Paris and his talk is as giddy as hie
surroundings. He is not calling for 1OO,-
900 men to inaugurate Mckinley, nor is
he whispering Of slaughter houses and
graves. He las dropped his anarchistic
tone and become a philosopher. While
he is ready to insist that the democrats
elected Mckinley, he does not think il
possible that a fusion between the gold
democrats and the high tariff republi-
cans can be made in 1900. With a due
regard for the distinguished Kentuckian
The TRIBUNE arises to a point of order,
or rather to challenge the correctness of
his opinion. The point is, where are the
gold democrats going in 1900 il they do
not 60 to the republicans? In the de-
fiant, rule.or-ruin attitude they have as.
sumed there is no room for them in the
rejuvenated democratic party. In spite
of Watterson, they have no refuge ex-
cept the shelter that the protectionist
republican camp affords them.

FREIGHT T

The Associated Press dispatches tell
US that the California merchants have
succeeded in making q deal with the
railroads by which through freight from
New York city, Boston, Philadelphia,
and other eastern cities shall be at q
uniform rate Of IS cents per hundred.
This is a good thing for the Pacific
coast people, for it applies not only to
San Francisco but to all the other large
cities In California.
Al marked copy of The TRIBUNE will
be sent to James j. Hill and with it q
reminder that according to the existing
schedule the freight tariff between ST.
Paul and Great Falls is S1.45 per hun
dred, or, by carload lots, s1,20 per hun.
dred. While Great Falls does not really
need q boom and lie in no sense a beg
gar, it does seem rather curious that ouI
people should be compelled to pay for g
relatively short service nearly double the
amount that it costs 10 transport goods
between the two oceans. We hope thai
Mr.. Hill, when he lights his cigar snc
enjoys his after-dinner eiesta, as al
good men do, will ponder over this para

1t has been generally conceded
throughout Montana that the county
commissioners of the several counties
now in Office would serve one year more,
and those elected on Nov. 3 would con-
s~equently not enter upon their duties
until November, 1897. This condition is
brought about by ar alleged mistake of
the secretary Of state. We do not re-
member that the question has ever been
legally determined. those most interested
having taken it for granted and rested
on their oars. 1t now appears that the
commissioners.elec of Silver Bow
county have determined to have the
matter settled by competent authority,
and to that end have instituted suit,
which will Of course be finally passed
upon by the supreme court. This is as
it should be. Probably the contention
that the present boards hold over is all
right, but it is curious, to say the least,
that county officials should be elected
one year in advance of their taking their
seats. 1t will not be long before we

SOLDIERS HOME.

The state soldiers home is an institu.
ton whose establishment and mainten.
ance appeals to the kindly and patriotic
instincts Of every citizen. The men who
fought our battles are in old age and by
reason of infirmities at least entitled
to shelter. The state of Montana has
provided the building for these veterans
near Columbia Falls, but owing to the
slender condition of the treasury it finds
itself lacking in mea to properly fur.
nish it. To do this the several Crane
Army posts and the Woman's Re.
lief Corps have volunteered theil
services. In pursuance of this
loyal duty Great Falls post and the Re.
lief Corps have agreed to do their share
and will, at an early day, ask the CO.
operation of all citizens. An entertain.
ment of some character will be devised,
to which all may contribute in a small
way, and when it takes place The
TRIBUNE has no doubt but that it will
meet with a generous response. The
Cascade county ward in the home must
be al well equipped as that of any other,
and it will be.

ECONOMY.

Governor-elect Robert B. Smith has
been interviewed by the Butte Miner
and, among other things, said: II want
to state one thing regarding my pol
icy during my. tenure Of Office, and
that lie that I intend to cut down the ex-
penees of running the state government.
I am satisfied from what I know OF the
comxlexion of the new legislature that it
will act in harmony with me and the
state will be saved thousands of dollars
annually. I believe in abolishing many
Of the perfectly useless Offices that have
been created in the past simply to re-
ward political friends, and this can be
done without in the least crippling the
working of the administration, or being
in the least harmful to the interests Of
the state.
"This is a young state and could be
easily hurt in it's credit and reputation
by an extravagant administration of it's
affairs. I know of many places that are
being held by men who draw salaries
from the state treasury for positions
that are entirely ornamental, and the
positions we're created simply to make a
soft berth for some political friend.
While l am anxious to accommodate my
political friends, l certainly shall not do
go at the expense of the state Of Mon
tana. When l find a place that the state
is maintaining from which no results are
obtained, you a depend on it the place
will be abolished"
To this resolve on the part of Mr..
Smith every loyal citizen of Montana
will Say amen. II there are needless Of
fees, the heritage Of a republican admin.
%istration, they should be Topped off. AS
a state we have been surely living be-
yond our means and now is the time to
apply the pruning knife. But it must
be borne in mind that there are other
expenses besides salaries that can be re-.
duced, and it is reasonable to believe
that Mr.. Smith will call attention to
them in his message to the legislature
The TRIBUNE has confidence in the abil-
ity and integrity of Mr.. Smith and has
no special suggestions to offer him, but
it does feel inclined to say that there is a
broad line between economy and parsi.
mony, and that Montana is great and
rich enough to maintain a state govern
ment on the most approved lines. Lei
there be retrenchment, but let it be in
the right place.
