Great Falls weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1894-1???, 1896-06-12

The republican majority in the house
of representatives has been seized with a
spasm Of economy and refuses fatty to
appropriate q few hundred thousands Of
dollars for public buildings in the states
of Montana IDAHO, and Wyoming, This
is the same house that without any con
sideration passed the river and harbor
bill, carrying appropriations Of more
than 91j,0y0o0O. The reasons are APP
parent, The river and harbor money Ia
TO be expended among the constituencies
of eastern members ard will aid in their
reelection, The public building money,
if appropriated, woul4 have been eXpend,
ed in tn deap.sed so called silver states.
These, not economy, are the reasons
the majority in the house refused the
small ana Just appropriation asked for,

DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.

A number Of the friends of Hal s.
Corbctt Of Misboula viii urge that no be
chosen as n Of the delegates to the
Chicago convention ny the state conven-
ton. The fact that Mr.. Corbott made
!ho race for congress in 1891 would GER
tainly give him some claims for the
honor suggested, The TEIHrNE has
heretofore expressed the opinion that :.
II. l]Iauecr, Marcus DAILY aod W. A.
Clark should be selected as delegates
and that Of the other three, ore should
be from northern, Z from eastern and
one from western Montana. If This idea
be carried out, there is no reason why
Mr., CoIbttt should not be chosen. If
no Is acceptable to tho delegates from
his own section, he will surely be &C
Ceptable to those from the other sections.
1T is now generally agreed that for dele
! gate from Northern Montana the Cas-
cBdc county delegation will present the
name OF W. G.. Downing. The gentle
man is ono of our most prominent citi-
Zcns, d life long democrat, and during
the past campaign he was chairman of
the county committee. If selected, and
there is no reason why he will not be, he
will fill the bill to the satisfaction of the
democracy of the state. For this honor
the name of Robert S. Ford had been
suggested and met with favor, but on
account Of important business affairs
that will demand his attention at the
time of the holding of the convention,
he declined, as it would be impossible
for him to attend.

Chauncey tilley, the republican boss
of Missouri, is responsible for the state
ment that Mckinley will not be nomi-
mated on the first ballot at st. Louis,
not that he cannot be, but because his
managers desire that the friends of other
candidates shall have an opportunity to
express their preferences by their votes.
In reaching this conclusion, the design
may be to show the confidence the Nc
kinley mon have in his capturing the
convention. 1t will be admitted that
from present appearances the confidence
is not misplaced, yet there is always a
chance for an accident. If the original
plan of ssampeding the convention is
adhered to, the chances are the Ohio
man Will be named with d hurrah; a
couple Of roll calls and the stampede
may be the other way. There will be
quite a number of republicans in that
convention who will not feel tlattered at
being ~patroniz9d by Mark Hanna,

they may get fooled.

Amateur Bank Burglars.

DAYTON, Ohio, March 11.-News
has just reached here of an at
tempt to rob the First National
bank at Germantown, this county,
at 3 80 o'clock this morning. The
robbers were evidently new at the
business and used so much pow
der that the bank was wrecked.
The town was aroused and the
robbers fled. The door of the
vault, weighing 800 pounds, was
thrown thirty feet. The vault con-
tanned $4,000 in cash and many
valuables, bonds and other Sc
curities. The great mystery is
how the robbers escaped being
blown to pieces, the wreck OF the
banking room was so complete.

CONCERT By THE KAFFIR CHOIR
African Music at the Bergen Re-
formed Church,.

The Kafir Choir rendered a pleasing
concert at the Bergen Reformed Church
last night. The lecture hall connected
with the church was well filled, and on
a platform at the west end of the hall
the choir was grouped. The male portion
Of the choir enjoy the distinction Of
being born Of parents who were addicted
to cannibalism and are all in this coun-
try for the purpose Of studying for the
ministry. The manager of the troupe
called upon the audience to ask n
member on the stage any question in re-
gard to current affairs.
The Rev. DR.. Cornelius Brett, pastor of
the church, asked several questions in
regard to the difficulty with the Beers
now in progress, and was surprised at
skin displayed by the young men. A
gentleman in the congregation then ask
ed where they had obtained their knowf
edge of the English language
I'm our own country replied the lead
er. That is the first thing" he con-
tinued, (which a missionary will do upon
first teach English language in order
that he may take any of our young
men along with him to act as guides and
interpreters when he comes in contact
with other bands"
Then followed a discourse upon their
own country by. one of the Hottentots,
the group acted as interpreter.
The songs were sung in the Kafir
their country with those Of civilization

hope to be thoroughly civilized by the
time we leave this country The pro-
Interesting. Some of the different tongues
rendered were the Kaffir, Hottentot,
