Great Falls Tribune: Now comes a
proposition for the creation of a de-
partment of mining at Washington
with cabinet officer at it's head At a
Spokane banquet few days ago C. w.
Goodale, manager of the Gagnon mine
at Butte, made the suggestion. Since
the secretary of agriculture found a
place at the cabinet table, the other
industries appear to have been afflicted
with an attack of jealousy and are de-
handing equal recognition. Just what
useful purpose a secretary of mining
would serve we do not know He could
not distribute mineral supplies. not
even enough to salt holes i'm the ground
as the agriculturist does seed. Nor
could he or his expert evolve a system
to make pay quartz grow in barren
rock. Come TO think of Il, he could
draw a salary of $1,000 per year and
write essays on a topic of which he
knew nothing and give advice 10 prac-
teal miners which would not be fol-
lowed. BY all means let there be a de-
partment of mining and a figurehead

Great Falls Tribune: political Cos
sip. writing to the Muscular from
Helena, makes mention of various can
didates for the nominal ion for various
state offices at the hands Of the repub-
hcan convention. Among the many
names mentioned in the letter is that
OF Ben Webster, clerk of the suprme
court, who, the writer says, is anxious
to succeed himself. If the Tribune has
It's political chart set right, the term
OF Mr.. Webster will not expire until
January, 1899, and consequently no
nomination will be made for that office
at the coming conventions. If it were
otherwise, Mr.. Webster would not
stand ghost of a show for renomina-
ton or reelection. He has made him
self especially Objectionable to the
newspapers throughout the state with
out regard to party, and if il were
possible they would make it their bust
ness to pay him back in kind. BY
possible, we mean If he had to seek a
nomination this year. His offense
against the press is that he has taken
advantage of his official position to
ally himself with some cheap printing
concern in Helena and has been send
ing out letters to all the attorneys
throughout the state soliciting Of them
the printing OF briefs, and at a rate
lower than has heretofore been paid
That he has a financial interest in the
petty scheme, either in the shape Of
commission or partnership, is sure.
He does not exactly make a demand
on the lawyers that they shall give
him this work, but his letter, read be-
tween the lines, intimates that il will
be to their advantage to do So He
says: IF you will send your briefs i'm
manuscript to me / will verify cita-
tions OF authorities at the law library,
have briefs printed and file the re-
quired number. 1 will also inform you
of the probable time of argument suf-
ficently in advance for you to have
your brief here on time" This shows
an accommodating spirit on the part
of Mr.. Webster-for what there is i'm
IL. The printers in the different sec
tions of the state who have criticised
his action in this regard have a Just
cause for complaint. There is no ex-
cuse for his abusing the position of
clerk or the supreme court to which he
was elected to become a canvasser for
low-priced goods and enter into COM
petition with those who gave him loyal
support during the campaign, as all
the republican papers did. The work
of printing these briefs does not
amount to much, but there is a princi-
pie involved, and Mr.. Webster is show
ing but little principle in the course he
is pursuing. We are violating no con-
fidence when we venture the opinion
that IL Webster had to show his head
in the convention this year, seeking a
nomination, he would be as short of
votes as Carlisle's man is in the Ken
lucky legislature. If Mr.. Webster is
wise he will abandon his scheme and |
permit legitimate printers to pursue /
their business.

said that they possessed the gift be-
fore they came to this section of the

its development occurred here. Arte-
