it longer than expected, yet 1t is with
hearty welcome from all old friends he
comes among US again. George is trust

Our young friend Clayton II. Packard
left our employ some few months ago to

has made for himself good reputation
as a prompt, quick, and trustworthy
workmen, who WAS ready to help us
whenever required, and would, if neces.
ssry lett his school during any time, il
so required. He has rendered us valua-
BILE assistance the Inst two weeks. We

BECAUSE Judge Lewis was efficient in
enforcing the law, the clsss who do not
relish things OF that character tried and
succeeded in fraudulently resigning him
off th. Supreme Bench of Montana. But
fraud is rarely successful the second time,
so when this thing was tried on the
Sound, by men who feared him as a
Judge its failure was so signal that now
the question is frequently asked who will
try to 6uldose Judge Lewis now.

We are under deep obligations to Mr..
Isaac II. Turner. tor faithful services
rendered. Whoever knows Ike, knows
him to be staunch and true. To he nne
who Can not be frightened, intimidated
or driven from what he believes to he
his duty, by any considerations whatever.
1t was this spirit, which we had long
known to be in him, that induced US to
get him to work all his spare time dur.
ing the past year in this Office, when he
could leave farm work he was doing tor
us. Although he has worked at the
case only part Of his time for scarce u
year, and never had tried his hands at
the business elsewhere, aud though we
previously had kept some three or more
printers to do our work; yet when out
siderS, made trouble with our workmen,
he came to the rescue, and vowed that ii
we would discharge them ALL lie would
stand by us, and see that, come what
would, the STAR would come out on
time. We acted on his suggestion; and
during the past two weeks he has
worked some sixteen hours or upwards
per day, bringing the paper out on time,
and doing the work we previously paid
two experienced printers for doing. We
now have our Office in such shape, that
we defy any one to influence any one in
our employ to our injury, or to create
dissatisfaction there. No paper in the
Territory is on a. .frmer basis, nor has q
better financial future, and our arrange.
lnents are now so we'll perfected that we
can do full justice to those we employ,
and then conduct our paper at less than
one half what were our expenses one
year ago, which our receipts arc at least
double. We are indebted to Mr. T. for
many invaluable services in helping US
to achieve this position.

SENATOR Stanley Matthews in setting
forth the advantages of his silver scheme,
omts to mention one result of its adoption,
and that is our inability to refund our bonds.
If the bonds are made payable in silver it will
be impossible to negotiate a four per cent.
loan. Under Mr.. Matthews's plan our six
per cents must stay out with their interest
reduced one twelfth. By Secretary Sherman's
method $500, 100000 of bonds can be refunded
within year in four per cents, and one
third of the interest be saved. We now pay
on that portion of the debt already redeem
able S99,6OO,OOO. If we pay that in silver
worth ninety-two cents on the dollar we save
$2,9SS,000 By Mr.. Sherman's plan Of re-
funding in four per cents we save $13, 200, 900
annually. So it appears that Senator Mat

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter thinks
'There is no ground for repining or discour-

stiffness observable in the manufacturing
branches of it is in perfect harmony with the
season and may be accepted as an indication
that the currents of traffic are likely to 1ow
in the future, as they have IN the recent past,
smoothly and regularly on-not too turbu-
lenty for safety nor too listlessly for progress.
1t seems quite plain that the manufacturers
intend to adhere to the policy they have been
pursuing for couple of years with so much
advantage, of not making goods until they
were wanted. This is growing to be so much
a matter of course that their customers are
rapidly getting into the way of conforming to
the practice. The system works admirably
for the buyers as well. They can have
their tastes consulted and ministered to, can
prescribe sizes, styles, fashion, quality of ma
terial and names for the goods; can put what
stamp on them they please and see that they
are arranged and packed to suit the varying
pecullarities and caprices of the people among
WuOm IuCy DIc W UC uIotIlUuUCu iOl SOhouhP

there is mutual assurance that the ultimate
