has gone into the United States court
with the bold claim that all of the vast
bonded indebtedness of the Northern
Pacific has, been created in violation of
law and is consequently worthless. If
this is demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the court, it will be serious blow to
the innocent holders of the bonds and q
windfall to the stockholders, unless some
plan of relief is devised and put into
effect. As the government is to greater
or less extent interested in the road, and
as it is now under the control of the
United States courts, it would seem the
proper thing for congress to settle the
doubt, if any exists, by legalizing
the outstanding bonds. This it surely
has authority to do, and public policy
and justice alike demand that it be done.

UNJUST CRITICISM,

Certain democratic papers in Montana,
notably the Miner, are devoting much
space to impuening the motives and at
tempting to belittle the efforts Of Sena-
tors Carter and Mantle and Representa-
tive Hartman in behalf OF free coinage.
This line Of conduct The TRIBUNE does
not believe meets the approval of the
democrats OF the state. Our representa-
tives in congress are doing yeoman ser
vice in the cause and they are entitled
to credit and encouragement, not sneers
To be honest about it, the slurs and in
levelIed at Carter and Mantle
can be applied with equal force to Ger,
tain democratic senators. Ia this battle,
not ours to question why. We must
seek for and accept aid from any and all
sources, not abuse our friends or ina uire
too closely as to the reasons that actuate
those who help. There is no division OF
sentiment in Montana; p. eminently ite

The New York Mining and Engineer

The New York Mining and Engineer
ing Journal never misses an opportunity
to exhibit its prejudice against the Bos-
ton and Montana company and those
connected it. The right of the paper to
abuse the management is conceded, but
it is stretching point when it permits
and encourages it's correspondents, regu-
lar and volunteer, TO indulge in uncalled
for criticisms of the company. with a
view to creating distrust and suspicion
in the minds Of the stockholders. The
reports of Manager Couch and Superin-
tendent Klepetko show the excellent
condition of the properties and are, no
doubt, entirely satisfactory to those who
are Interested, but they do not expose to
the public all the private business of the
concern; hence the journal is angry.
While the course that is being pursued
by the New York paper can hardly affect
either the mines or their management, il
is far from being legitimate.

UNHAPPY STATESM EN-.

The Italian ministry has paid the PEN
atty for mistake and resigned rather
than face an angry people. The minis
try sought to extend the possessions of
the country in Africa, and in doing 80
the army ran up against the Abyseinians
and sustained disastrous and mortify-
ing defeat. This, the defeat, not the at
tempted land grab, 80 excited the popu-
lar indignation that those who were in
directly responsible for it stepped down
and out. II the Italian incident and the
storm it provoked is liable to be initiated

of the water or captured them and Cuba
had become an independent republic
there would be revulsion of sentiment
and all the blame would be centered
upon the king and cabinet. Already the

The vast difference between the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the post
office department has at last attracted
the serious attention of congress. and it
has come none too soon, for the deficit
during the last fiscal year amounted to
nearly $4,000 900. That there is no oc-
casion for this is apparent; the depart
ment should be self sustaining, and how
to make it SO is the question. For sew
eral years past there has been con
certed effort on the part of the national
board of trade TO have the postal service
SO reorganized that letter postage could
be reduced to one cent. For the pres
cnt, we do not sympathizc with this
proposition. Those who favor it show
by figures that at the present rate of
two cents, rccci pts from the letter mail
were 33S, 900 coo, and the actual cost
was only %S,O0O,0O0. This statement
was prepared for effect and can he taken
though it be correct we are Of the opinion
that the letter rate should remain the
same and the surplus applied to give at
least decent postal facilities to the west
Whi2h it does not and never has Doe
sessed. With the other reforms sug-
gested The TRIBUNE iB IN hearty accord.
They are to exclude everything except
legitimate newspapers from the priv
iege as second class matter; to make q
new rate about cost, for maguz,res,
pamphlets and books. and to charge
fourth class matter, dry good, boots and
shoes, medicines, type writer's, roller top
desks, electric motors, etc, etc, for all Of
which the mails are now used d rate
that will fully cover the amount paid to
the railroads. With books and adver-
tising pamphlets paying fair charge
and merchandise virtually excluded from
the mails, the department will not only
be self sustaining, but the crying needs
for a proper service can be met This is
matter 10 which all citizens are inter
ested and if congress will make up it's
mind that the national treasury shall
not be robbed of $lOOOO,OOO annually, in
order that the postotfice may carry on
an express company, it will be doing its
duty.

Governor Hunter of Kentucky has
withdrawn from the senatorial contest
in that state, and thereby hangs tale.
1t has developed that Hunter has been
playing double with his republican
friends and his withdrawal was forced
play. He was elected governor on a
goldbug ticket and in joint session only
lacked one vote to send him to the
United Statessenate. That vote belonged
to a populst silver man, and in order to
secure it, Hunter sent him letter prom
Using that if the vote was cast for him
he would pledge himself in turn to sup
port free coinage in the senate. That
he was llnave enough to make the prop
oslllon is not surprising; that he was
fool enough to put it in writing is the
best proof of his political idiocy. The
populist had too much sense to be
caught with any such bait, he gave the
snap away, and, as consequence, Hun.
ter precipitately abandoned his sena-
torial aspirations
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-03-06

The curious changes OF the human
mind and the contradictions OF nature
are given remarkable illustration in the
announcement that the famous orator.
politician, Bourke Cochran, has decided
to forsake worldly ambitions, and has
taken the initial steps to become priest
of the Roman Catholic church. This
decision on the part Of the gifted New
Yorker will excite wonder all over the
country. Those who know him could
never have imagined that he would ex-
change the excitement OF the rostrum
and the hustings for the serenity of the
altar and the pulpit. Mr.. Cochran is
just AZ years Of age, and az he has had
the benefit Of liberal education, it ie
fair to believe that his novitiate will be
comparatively short, and that soon his
eloquent voice will be heard in the
new field. II he decides to give full
play to his talent or genius, he will surely
rank as one OF the foremost pulpit
orators OF the age.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT.

There is no need to call attention to
the fact that as result of the panic real
estate as we'll as every other article OK
cept gold suffered serious depreciation
in value. In too many instances those
who we're forced to sell their holdings
did so at great sacrifice. Yet for the
man fortunate enough to have money
to invest the best Of advisers say that
there is no field that offers the same op
portunites. Among this class of ad.
visers is Chauncey M. Depew who, it
will be agreed, is quite as good busi-
ness man as he is talker. In late let
ter to friend he wrote as follows:
II think that now is the time to invest
in real estate, if the investment is judi
ciously made. We are on the upgrade.
There is certain to be for the next seven
or eight years general revival of bust
ness. Real estate is the last to feel the
results of good times, as it is the last to
show the evidence of poor ones. l do
not believe that real estate. properly To-
Gated, will be as low for many years as it
is now anywhere in the country"
While the remarks of the eminent
New Yorker can be applied generally
and will tit almost any section of the
country, they have special application
to the growing cities Of the west and no
tably so to Great Falls. While this city
has no boom and does not need one, it's
destiny is manifest, IFS future is assured
Nothing short of miracle can retard
it's growth and prosperity. 1t has to a
degree been the victim of hard times,
but the date for it's upward movement
cannot be long delayed. Realty here is
not drug in the market, but at pres
ent it can be bought at comparatively
low figure and is safe investment for
those who do not need immediate re-
Turns. An evidence that now is the
time to buy has just been furnished by
President Hill of the Great Northern in
the purchase of 300 acres on the west
side. He surely did not buy for specu-
lation, he must need it in his business,
not necessarily for use today, but with
his foresight he took it while it could be
had at low figures. This is straw
which shows that, for those who have
money and who use judgment in selec-
ton. now is the proper time to invest in
Great Falls real estate.

POLICY OR PRINCIPLE.

The United States senate is now con.
sidering whether it will admit to that
body II. A. Dupont, who claims to have
been elected as republican senator
from the state of Delaware. His title
is clouded and his right is admittedly
subject to grave doubts. Still, his re-
publican colleagues, or some of them,
are ready to brush aside the legal i'm
pediments and squeeze him in as
matter of expediency, not of justice, the
reason being that on the fnaLciai ques.
tion he is an uncompromising goldbug.
That party advantage, not principle,
should govern senators on so important
IA matter indicates low grade of NOR,
ais. However this may be, in as much
as the gold men have openly declared
their object in this case, it is to be
hoped that the silver republicans will
not be a party to the scheme. They
can in good conscience vote against the
admission of Dupont. Asa further rea.
son, il one were needed it must be re.
membered that the gold men have car,
ried their hostility SO far that in the
house of representatives Arizona and
New Mexico have been denied admission
as states because the people favor free
coinage. If the gold men are justified
in drawing the line and using their
power to punish those who differ with
them, why should not the silver men re.
taliate in kind? No silver man in the
senate will be justified in voting for
Dupont.
