Never in the history of political par
ties in this city has there been a demon
stration approaching in enthusiasm or
attendance the reception tendered Hon.
Charles S. Hartman, republican candi
date for congress, upon his appearance
at Hefferlin s opera house Tuesday even
ing. Long before the hour for opening
the meeting the streets were ablaze with
enthusiastic demonstration, including a
monster procession bearing torchlights
and flambeaus, with accompanying dis
play ot fireworks. A novel feature of il
lumination was the words "Hartman for
Congress," which occupied Park street
between Second and Main, and con
structed of sawdust saturated with oil,
proved a brilliant tribute to Montana's
next member of congress. The procès
sion. headed by the drum corps and
Clyde Park band, formed at the corner
of Mam and Park streets. The line of
march was west to second street and
back to Main, down which thoroughfare
the long line of torchbearers with Roman
candies illumined the entire distance to
!
i
|
;
;
Clarke. Returning they were met at
the intersection of Main and Calendar
streets by the Livingston band which
preceded them to the opera house.
During this unprecedented street dis
play people were thronging from even
portion of the city and before the ap
pearance of the speakers upon the plat
form the seating capacity of the opera
house was taxed to its limit, and by the
time the meeting was called to order
there was not even standing room. In
fact so dense was the crowd that those
who still remained upon the street
would have made a large overflow meet
ing had any provision been made for
such an emergency. The audience was
as enthusiastic as it was large which
was fully attested by the deafening
cheers which greeted the speakers.
The opera house hiubbeen charmingly
decorated for the occasion, Hags, ban
ners, cut flowers and potted plants deck
mg the stage ,n pro,usmn. At the rear
of the stage were banners bearing the
mottoes "Protection and Reciprocity,"
"Protection to American Labor," Hanked
on either side with well executed paint
ings of President Harrison and Hon. C.
S. Hartman. Other banners were:
"Free Men, Free Ballot and Free Silver,"
"Wages of Miners in Montana 83.50 per
Day; in Mexico GOc per Day." "Do You
Want Free Wool," and "Do You Want
Free Lead." On the platform, in ad
dition to the speakers were the follow
ing vice-presidents and candidates: C.
W. Hickman, Frank White, E. H. Tal
cott, Charles (Hidden, James H. Smith,
S. L. Holliday, James S. Thompson, Ar
thur Miles, J. C. Vilas, M. H. Lashorn,
S. M. Parks, Allan R. Joy, A. L. Love,
Sam Schott, Sumuel Hosford, S. M. Nye,
George Alderson, W. II. Poorman, J. A.
Faulkner, M. Alderson, Henri J. Has
kell, H. Bacon, F. W. Wright, George M.
Hatch, W. F. Meyer, P. L. VanCleve, O.
E. Lamphear, H. J. Miller, Judge Frank
Henry, Alvin P. Vinnedge, John Har
vey, W. L. Sliawk and S. Deutsch. The
Livingston Glee Club responded to a
call and in a stirring manner that elic
ited hearty applause sang "Under Pro
tection's Flag," and during the inter
missions between speeches favored the
meeting with numerous other well ren
dered campaign songs.
Mr. Deutsch announced ns chairman
of the meeting Angus Brown, master
mechanic of the Northern Pacific shops.
When the applause had sufficiently sub
sided Mr. Brown expressed his gratifica
tion with the honor conferred upon him
m being called to preside over so large
and enthusiastic an audience, especially
as it indicated an endorsement of the
beneficent policy of protection. Continu
ing he made a strong argument for the
principles of republicanism, giving his
personal experiences as a mechanic both
in Canada and his adopted home in the
United States to substantiate his claims
that the workingmen are much better
paid for labor under the protective sys
tem of America than in Canada where
only partial protection is enjoyed, lie
also devoted some attention to the falla
cies of the populist, showing by compar
ison that government control of railroads
would result in impairment of transpor
tation service and by employing an army
of government operatives entrench the
party in power so effectually that it3 de
feat would be almost an impossibility.
His sjieech throughout was logical, and
was listened to with rapt attention, his
telling points in favor of protection being
greeted with hearty applause.
The next speaker, Senator O. F. God
dard, received a hearty welcome. He
briefly but in a pointed manner reviewed
national and state questions involved in
the present campaign, closing with a
!
strong appeal to the republican voters
to stand by the party nominees. The
importance to the state and the nation
! of electing the legislative ticket was ap
I parent. He called attention to the im

Editor Enterprise : Thinking that
t îe patrons of your paper would like to
hear something of this, a comparatively
unknown and little talked of part of the
New World mining district, I will try
and give you a brief account of the dis

(loose Lake is about six miles (ns the
crow Hies) in a northeasterly direction
from the town of Cooke, in what is gen -1
erally known as the Granite range, the
lake itself being the headwaters of the I
east, fork of the Stillwater river, and its 1
altitude being noip 10,000 feet. j
There has been some fifteen or twenty j
men on the lake for the past two weeks
doing representing work and prospect
ing. !
Howell & Burton are working some
eight or ten men on their properties, i
such as the Black Diamond, World's

Rantnal. Olsen, Frazee, Burton, Chrir

The great drawback to this part of the
camp is the scarcity of wood, as there is
noneon the lnke or the basin surround

mako a good wagon road from the head
of Clark's Fork, where there is plenty of
timber, we predict that in the near fu

biggest mining camps in Montana.

Another Insurance Finhe/.zler .
El .Universal, published in the city of
Mexico, says that the general manager
of a New York life insurance company
has been accused of embezzling the
company's funds and has fled. The em
bezzler is S. E. Halberstadt, .formerly
general agent of the New York Life In
surance company of New York city. It
is generally believed that Halber
stadt has fled to the United States. It
is claimed that the amount embezzled
exceeded 870,000. The fugitive was in
terested in several mining and land
schemes in Mexico and all his prop
erty has been confiscated by the author
ities of the United States. If the offi
cers who are on his trail apprehend him I
in the United States, the Mexican gov-j

The illness of Mrs. Harrison, wife of
the president, which dated from a severe
attack of the grip two years ago, termi
nated fatally Tuesday at 1:40 a.
m. The dispatch announcing this sad
affliction which has visited President
Harrison and his household, says: For
the second time in the history of the
White House has a president's wife
died within its walls. Mrs. Harrison
met death with the patience and resig
nation of a devout Christum, and her
lust days were comparatively free from
pain. For twenyt-four hours the presi
dent and family were almost con
stantly at the bedside awaiting the end.
Monday night was without especial in-.

j
Cfiagrined by the almost total failure
to secure anything approaching enthu-j
siasm at the Sinith-Matts meeting last I
! Wednesday the democrats of Livingston |
! had hoped to recover lost ground by a
| monster reception to their candidate for
; governor and the would-be United
States Senator W. A. Clark Saturday ■
j night. In this they vv» re doomed to
j even greater disappointment th in on the
j previous occasion, notwithstanding the I
| fact that a vast amount of pyrotechnics
! were wasted in the vain endeavor to col- ■
led a crowd that would equal the dem
; oustration on the occasion of the visit
to Livingston of Governor Rickards,
The failure, however, to secure a larger
; attendance is not now the greatest
source of annoyance to the chief fugle- !
j men, as the Hat failure of Timothy to
demonstrate his fitness to emerge from
| "Placer Gulch to Forum" was so appar
eut to everyone present that his ability
j to lose votes was only limited by the in
ability of the democrats to induce the
people to come out and hear him. From
beginning to end his assassination of the
English language was humiliating to the
small hut cultured audience who at
tempted to follow him in his disjointed
efforts to discuss public questions. In
fact, so annoying were the speaker's fre
quent covert assaults upon the language
as taught in our public schools, and so
estrav agant were the statements made
in 1 « is efforts to handle st atistics that al
though Livingston uudienc s arc pro
verbial for the patient courtesy exteude

seats so marked at the opening of his

! twenty years ago, he started with an ex
pedition to tnake lhia Baa 'ö journey

was called back after having camped
I neur whttt n,HV tlle P reBent of
Livingston. And right here it is proper ,
to state that the democrats of this city ,
most heartily wish that ho had been j
•'j^.lled back" on this occasion by the
central committee before being permit
ted to reach Livingston on his present
pilgrimage down the Yellowstone. He
then proceeded to offer a gratuitous in
sult to the preservers of the union by a
statement which when interpreted into
plain English, was to the effect that the
republican party relies for success upon
tlie gratitude of the freedmen and the
veteran soldiers who are bribed by pen
sions to vote tlie republican ticket. He ;
talked learnedly cf the "area" of pros
perity and enlighten men A that marked
^ the history of democratic administra
tions, and complained that his party had
always had to contend against the "op
position of the opposition." In attempt
ing tc discuss national affairs he followed I
tiie line laid down by speakers for the
dëmocratic cause who have preceded
him during the campaign, crediting
Thomas Jefferson an original protec
tionist- -with everything enjoyed by the
American people. His uttempt to dis
cuss state affairs was more interesting
inasmuch as it was a terrible arraign
ment of his own record. He claimed
that Montana is indebted to the demo
cratic party for its constitution and wise
laws which have preserved the school
I pelled to retire an( , seek relief behind
the Bcenes _ The reason for this was thé
f alH1 liarity of all with the attempt of
I the speaker to rob the children of a por
tion of their rightful heritage by filing
lands of the state as a heritage for the
children, and which also prevents the
importation of paid Pinkerton thugs to
intimidate the workingmen of Montana.
Reference to these matters produced al
most a sensation, and prominent demo
rats upon the stage were even com
upon a school section, nn account of
which transaction is given in full in an
other column as related by the River
Press; and the further fact that he is
vice-president of a corporation with
headquarters in Great Falls against
which thirty-two indictments are now
pending for violation of the law against
the importation of foreign laborers. He
is also president of a bank at Great Falls
which imported laborers and mechanics
from St. Paul to erect its building sim
ply because by so doing he could avoid
payment of the prevailing scale of «-ages
..
"as admonished by the restless dispo
; sition of the audience that he had talked
; long enough unless he « ished to address
j his retnarks vacant chairs and with
. . .
i ou ' reference to Ins free wool story as
related from actuai experience as a prac
tical woolgrower, ho retired from the
j ,. forlmi »
in that city. At this point the speaker
, , , , !
] W. A. Clark was then introduced to :
the audience by Judge Savage. He is a I
cultured speaker but his delivery was
simply execrable «hile, in a piping
voice, he talked about the force bill, sil
ver and the tariff. In discussing ttie
f rce bill bugaboo lie unwittingly ud
mitted That a republican senate defeated
the measure. lie denounced it, how
ever in unmeasured terms, and bvlaud
ing the present system of conducting
elections in Montana awakened recul
lections of the bitter hostility of the
democrats of this state to the registru
tion law and Australian system when
these measures were passed by a repub
lican legislature.
His treatment of the silver issue was
an innovation upon the custom of other
democratic orators, lie did not attempt
to defend Cleveland's record, but claimed
that the democratic party of this state
was consistent in its position on th;
question because tiie democratic dele
gates to Chicago had voted for Horace
Boies of Iowa, a pronounced friend of
silver. As Boies is not a candidate bo
fore the people and as the democratic
party is now using its best endeavor to
elect Cleveland, the speaker's efforts in
this direction only confirmed the belief
that the democratic party is unworthy
of confidence so far as silver is con
cerned, especially in view of the fact
that with u majority of 140 in the pres
ent house that body defeated two silver
hills during its last session. He ap
proached the tariff question with great
caution, because upon the issue of free
lead he is upon record by his utterances
at the mineral congress in Helena as fa
voring a tariff upon this commodity.
Ho is, with Governor Hauser, anil other
prominent democrats, engagea in lead
innig and therefore from peisonal mo
toes desirous of having this industry
protected. Ho ventured nevertheless
to state that any duty in excess of that
required to maintain the government
«as unjust to the people upon whom the
burden of taxation is imposed. In rais
ing the needed revenues of the govern
ment it is necessary to impose a tariff
duty, and the speaker believed that of
all the articles upon which tins duty is
laid, probably that of lead is best calcu
lated to prevent hardship to the people.
The people, who me engaged in
olke r protected industries, will no doubt
take issue with Mr. Clark upon this
question, believ.ng that they are just as
uiuuh entitled to the benefits of proteo
as the mine owners are to ri ceive pro
tection from the peon labor of Mexico.

The Youth of Mo
lui Heritage.
The River Press, published at Fort
Benton, gives the following details of a
scheme by which "Eat-'em-up" Tim Cui
lills ' tlle democratic candidate for gov
ernor, attempted by dishonest, methods
to secure title to valuable school lands in
this state:
Some time ago, tlie River Press called
attention to the fact that certain parties
were attempting, by questionable means,
to obtaln possession of school university
kinds in the vicinity of Grout balls. I he
matter was takch up by other newspa
pers of the state, and so thoroughly vent
ilated, that the perpetrators of this nefa
rious species of robbery became ashamed
of tlie business, and, so far as we could
learn, their operations was summarily
checked. When Timothy E. Collins,
democratic candidate for governor of
Montana, was addressing public meet
ings in this section about two weeks ago,
the River Press requested him toexplain
hi * aUitude towards these attempts to
steal the school lauds of the state; he
was invited to condemn such attempts,
and to denounce the parties who were en
gaged in such disreputable enterprises.
Mr. Collins did not respond to the invi
tation, for the good and sufficient reason
that he was one of the gang.
It is a most unpleasant duty devolving
upon the River Press to publish certain
facts which lias been in its possession for
some time, but it would be false to its ob
ligations as a public journal were it to
suppress information which at this time
is of vital importance to the voters of
Montana. Mr. Collins is seeking high
political honors at their hands, and it is
both right and just that every citizen of
Montana should be fully informed upon
a subject which concerns every taxpayer,
every parent and child in Montana, and
affects the educational welfare of gener
ations yet unborn.
THE FACTS JN THF. CASE.
In December, 1890,Timothy E. Collins,
of Grent Falls, offered for filing in the
U. S. land office at Helena, an application
for a patent to the E'g of the E 1 ., of sec
tion 10 (a school section), township 20
north, range 3 east. The filing was of
fered under the mineral laws, the only
method by which title can be acquired
to surveyed school lands, and Mr. Collins'
claim was based upon an alleged discov
ery of building stone on the location
er >' or IJUU " ,r ^ 8tone on the Nation
described. The land office people made
I a full investigation of the affair and on
j
i
i
j
j
j
.
!
1
I
February 17th. 1891, rejected the appli
cation on the ground that the alleged
stone quarry had no special value or
characteristic to Dring it « ithin the pur
view of the mineral laws. This decision
checked Mr. Collins' programme some
what, but listin' lands «ere getting more
valuable every day, he concluded to try
another effort. He appealed from tlie
decision of the local land otliee, and the
case went to the honorable commissioner
of tiie general land office at Washing
ton, w ho, on October 2nd, 1891, affirmed
the action of t lie Helena officials and dis
missed the appeal. The facts here pre
sented are sufficiently explicit to estab
lish the charge that Mr. Collins endeav
ored to gam possession of these lands on
the pretense that they contained valua
ble mineral deposits; and that official
investigation prove I the fraudulent na
ture of the ground upon « hielt the tiling
was offered.
A reference to tho map shows that the
E*.j of the K 1 1 of section 111. township
20 north, range 3 east, is a short distance
west of the Great Falls townsite, and
takes in tlie whole east side of the school
section -the side nearest the townsite.
It is worthy of note that the adjacent sec
tions 'in all sides had been taken up un
der the homestead, pre-emption and des
ert land laws, being of an agricultural
nature; and Mr. Collins was the first one
to discover that the Creator had care
fully Deposited a stone quarry in the
school section, so as to give it a character
different to lands adjacent. It is evident
that Mr. Collins placed a very high esti
mate on the value of these lands- lie
went to considerable trouble to acquire
title to them, and the suggestion natu
rally presents itself i hat if they were
valuable to Mr. Collins, they were equally
valuable to tiie school funds for which
they « ere originally set apart.
From tlie Great Fallu Tribune of Oc
tober 14th, 1892, we learn that the school
land appraisers of Cascade county have
just completed their labors, and report
that the value of these lands ranges from
81.25 to 8300.00 per acre. The latter val
uation applies to lands near Great Falls,
and, we presume, includes the tract which
Mr. Collins made a fruitless effort to ac
quire. At this valuation the ICO acres
would be worth about 848,000 at the
present time ; that is what they would
be worth to Mr. Collins had he succeeded
in his scheme; that is what they are
worth to M mtana school funds to-day.
When the representative members of
the Montana democracy selected Titn
otiiy E. Collins as their gubernatorial
standard-bearer in the present campaign,
we are forced to believe they did bo in
ignorance of the facts herein related. No
political party can afford to honor men
engaged in such transactions; no politi
cal party would knowingly take such ac
tion as would condone the attempted
theft of the children's inheritance; and
with the proof presented that such an at
tempt was made, no self-respecting man
can consistently vote to bestow political
honors upon the perpetrator of such an
outrage. It is humiliating to know that
there are individuals in Montana who will
sacrifice their manhood by engaging in
such schemes ; it is still more humiliat
ing to find such persons honored by a
great political party ; it would be an
everlasting disgrace to see them sup
ported by the votes of parents « hose
children they attempted to rob.
If the newspaper press of Montana is
faithful to its duty it will hunt the rob
bers down. There could be no act more
despicable, no scheme deserving of more
severe condemnation, than the attempt
to lay han Is on any portion of Montana's
great educati mal endowment. Political
considerations in such a case should give
place to higher motives ; republicans and
democrats should unite in a stinging re
buko to such attempts, and the coming
election affords the opportunity.
