The Valentine.

At counter richly laden
With st. Valentines choice sonneh
Stands very charming maiden
In the shaggiest of bonnets;
Her love locks and her tresses
Appear halo golden,
While the style in which she dresses
Is extremely quaint and olden.
She inspects the glowing treasures,
Silken, fringed and satin banners.
And scans their ardent measures
In the gracefulest of manners.
Now and then saucy Cupid
Pleases this bewitching critic.
But the verses are too stupid
For q taste so analytic.
Der forget-me-nots and roses
Like a butterfly she wavers,
Till the honey one discloses
Proves the daintiest of fiayors.
With this nectar Love insnares her,
And he holds her in possession,
And he tempts her and he dares har
To the following confession.
q If had the brush of Vatican,
And the wisdom of the sages,
i could paint worthy motto
On this loveliest of pages;
But no truer heart is beating
Than the heart which beats for you, love;
SO l send simple greeting,
And sign myself your Trne-love."
Satisfied with her selection,
AS the clerk she re-imburses.
For the missive of affection,
From the prettiest of PURSES.
While she fastens furs and pushes.
Unaware of admiration,
In a conscious way she blushes,
Thinking of its destination.
Will certain hero wonder,
Ere the trusty seal is broken,
If his fate is hidden under
Shelter of this tender token?
Will he, when his heart discovers
Who has sent this timely warning,
Be the happiest of lovers
TN st. Valentines own morning?

PROMISES UNFULFlLLED.

The people Of Maiden, at least. are iIr
"A position 10 judge how much the Oft
repeated assertion Of all that our dele
gate has done for eastern Montana and
the rights of its settlers, Is true. The
recent order, which notifies the miners
and business men Of that camp that
they must cease operations and move
of the military reservation within sixty
days. will give them ample reason to
reflect upon the wide difference between
the promises Of a politician seeking
their votes on the eve Of an election
and the manner in which these prom
ises are fulfilled. As many as twenty
locations Of mining claims were made
in the Warm Springs district lin which
Maiden is situated) before the military
reservation was set apart, and these
prior locations ought to, and we believe
do, carry with them the right 0f pos
session. During the hast campaign =
Major Maginnis was in Maiden, and, We
are informed ON what may be consid-
cred good authority, that he called the
leading men Of the camp together and
stated to them that he understood their
situation and would use every effort, on
his return to Washington, to have the
district cut off from the reservation and
restored TO the public domain On the
strength Of this promise. and believing
that he would do more for them than
one who possibly did not understand
the situation as well, Maginnis received
"A number of votes in that section which
he would not have got under any other
circumstances. Was the promise full
filled? OF course not Having sue
ceeded in getting what he wanted, and
knowing that he would not dare to
again come before the people of Mon
tana n a candidate. he does not care To-
bother himself about the welfare Of
comparative few who have already
served his purpose, and although letter
after letter reminding him Of this prom
ise has been sent by citizens of Maiden
who feared that which has now come to
pass, he has not even deigned to notice
them with an answer of any sort But
how different it was when Sam Hauser.
Granville Stuart and other powerful
democrats wanted the best portion Of
the same reservation restored so that
they might retain II as cattle ranch
And how quickly that matter was
attended to by this man, who received
his reward for this and other services
rendered to his political masters in
denomination TO an Office in which he
has proved such an obedient servant to
them. But the people Of Montana are
getting pretty wen acquainted with the
gentleman who was again forced uIon
them last fall bya combination Of capt.
talsts, government contractors and q
selfish railroad corporation, and his
congressional career is nearly over.
But IN the meantime the people Of
Maiden are made tc suffer unjustlv

Treasury Statement.

\ statement Of the condition of the
United States treasury, August 18th.
shows that the amount Of gold coin and
bullion is more than double all the
other classes Of currency on hand COM
bined.
The amount Of gold coin and bullion
in the treasury August 18th, was $2G},-
395, ,524, and Of silver dollars and bull
lion, S11S, S,219,9Ss.
A few solid facts show the alsurdity
of much Of the so-ealled argument that
has been used against the coinage and
use Of silver. Silver dollars accumu-
lated in the treasury it was claimed,
hence they were useless the people
did not want them. Now, gold coinage
accumulatcs in the treasury. until to-
day there is more gold in our vaults
than i'm any other treasury in the world.
Does this prove that gold Is not fit for
currency and that the people will not
accept it? If a point made against one
part Of our currency has any force.
it applies with equal force TO any other
part.
The present condition of affairs proves
one of two things most conclusivcly
The chief argument used against the
coinage Of silver and its use as clu-
rency proves nothing, or it proves
altogether too much for those who have
employed il with so much vigor To
accomplish their purpose.
Those Journals which chronicallv pro-
test against the injury that the silver
dollar is inhicting upon the walls of the
treasury vaults should petition the
treasury department TO make no state
ments Of its condition, at least while it.
