Whether the world as whole is growing
better or not is hard to say but that there are
people in it who are growing better and
whom an awakened conscience is guiding
into the paths of rcctitudc, is shown by an
Incident that occurred here a few days ago.
On the day of the Catholic church dedication
the venerable John Iiossack was called upon
by one Of the visiting priests from abroad and
asked If he was the same llossack who had
been in the lumber trade here 20 years ago.
Mr.. Hossacll replied that he was. "Then |
have something for YOU" said the Priest, and
he handed Mr. Hossack sum of money
which, he said, had been placed in his hands
to be restored to Mr.. lIossack by pcnitcnt
who confessed TO him that he had wrongcd
Mr.. II. Of that amount years ago. No doubt
that money, whatever the amount, thus APP
piled brought to that poor pcntcnt more
genuine, embarrassing joy and consolation
than could have come to him from any other
possible use of it,

Bland's Views on Silver Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Represen-
tative Bland, Chairman Of the House
Committee ON Coinage, Weights and
Measures. was interviewed to-day.
In response to the question whether
any act for the restriction of silver
coinage would be passed at this ses-
sion he answered.: "No. sir, not
much; suppose efforts will be made
in that direction, but if the enemies
Of the silver dollar see that they can
neither stop nor restrict its coinage
below exis ing law, perhaps they
will consent to sensible solution OF
the whole question, which Is in un-
limited coinage. Silver only suffers
in comparison with gold now because
it is restricted, debarred, discredited
ard kicked about by law. Provide
for unlimited coinage, and it will
then be equal to gold in all respects.
We must come to that eventually,
and the sooner the better"
What do you propose to do with
the trade dollar ?" was asked.
"Take them in," suppose, heans-
wered, land recoin them, if we can
get them without paying too much.
If parties have bought them up at
bullion value for speculation, and
want to sell them to the g ,vernlnent
at par I would say, let them keep
the trade dollars. If we can get them
at reasonable figures, why we might
as well coin them over"

Senator Sabln's Opinion.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. Ex-senator
Sabin, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, this afternoon
authorized the Evening journal to
define his position as follows: His
opinion is the payment of the ma
tional debt should cease. 1t should
have ceased q year ago. He wonld
favor the issue of two per cent. fifty
year bonds by the government into
which all bonds of other denomina-
tions should be converted
as they mature or are
called in. These bonds could
be used as a basis for bank issues.
Accompanying this measure should
be a repeal of the one per cent. tax
on bank circulation now existing.
This would make the interest on the
new bonds equivalent to 8 per cent,
and he thought majority of the
banks would readily take them, es-
pecially if they were allowed, as they
should be, to issue their circulation
upon their full face or par value.
Under the present laws the
banks can raise their circulation to
the extent of only nine.y per cent.
of the value of the bonds deposited as
for such circulation. He
thought it would be safe to permit
banks to issue notes to the par
value of the bonds. because our
cannot be any better than our

An Old Story.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The sOlic-
itor Of the Treasury is notified that
there will be submitted TO him GER
tain legal questions recently arising
in connection with the work of re-
receiving treasure supposed lost in
the wreck of the British frigate Hus-
sar at the bottom of East River,
New York, just below Port
Morris. The Hussar was wrecked
in 1880 while on the way to Norwich,
Conn. She is supposed to have had
on board nearly q million pound
sterling intended for payment of
British troops; also, 20 American
prisoners chained to the gun deck.
Attempts bave been male at inter-
walls for many years to recover the
treasure which it Is believed went
down with heI, but on
account of the great depth of water
and swift cross tide or the channel,
where the wreck lies all such at
tempts have hitherto proved fruit
less. A company is now engaged at
the work, undertaken at their own
expense and risk, to recover the
money upon an agreement with the
u. s. Government, that they should
have 90 per cent. of all money re-
covered, the U. 8. to have the other
ten per cent. together with all relics
of value which might be found.
rom the fact a legal
question has arisen concerning the
sunken treasure, and is to be sub
mitted to the law officer of the Treas
ury, the inference is drawn there are
better prospects than ever before for
the recovery of the money, but moth
ing is known definitely about it or
about the nature of the question
raised.

The New Years Ball.


The Odd Fellows ball at Caplice
Hall New Years night was a most
successful event, botn in the num-
Der present and the enjoyment
evinced by the participants. About
eighty couples participated in the fes-
tivities of the occasion, who danced
the happy hours away to the strains
of excellent music discoursed by
Burt's band until an early hour in
the morning. The affair will be long
remembered by Butte society as one
of the most pleasant occasions of the
old year and an suspicious opening
of the new.

The TROUT CREEK TRAIL.
The Proprletors Preparing For
q Town Site Boom at the Point
Of Divergence From the
Railroad.

Mlsssula Times, January I'd. As
respecting mining news the subject
of greatest import now is the ques-
tion of feasible route to Cosur
d'Alene. All doubts entertained of
the discovery of gold in rich guam
titles has gradually disappeared as
report after report of the most favor
able character have been made by
experienced miners direct from
Eagle City. Last week Hiram
Beagle, our well known townsman,
was down the road as far as Heron,
going for the sole purpose of looking
oyer the situation. Mr.. B. fully sub
stantiates reports previously pub
lished in these columns to the ef-
feet that the Trout Greek trail
is destined to be an easy and quick
route to the heart of Ceur
d. Alene. 1.-THE trail was passable last
week, persons having come out from
Eagle City, in two days, which is
conclusive proof that the trail is a
short one. From the railroad station
at Trout Greek to the foot of the
mountains the trail is finished, and
frequent communications are maLe
with a camp at the latter place. A
gang of men who are working on the
trail are stationed there, and provi-
sions are carried in on pack animals,
or upon some sort of a sled dragged
behind. The trip between Eagle City
and this camp is made on snow shoes.
Persons going in can see the smoke
at Eagle City soon after getting over
the divide. After reaching the sum-
NIT and crossing short space of
nearly level ground the descent is
made on smooth ridge that extends
to the vicinity of the mines. Several
men are row working on the trail
and perfectlng it as fast as possible.
It is likely that the route will be
kept open the remainder OF the win
ter, as the route from Trout Creek to
the foot of the mountains is travelled
frequently and the snow IS packed as
fast as it falls. The remainder of the
trip can be made on snow-shoes in
pleasant weather. Messrs. Hamilton
& Tone, proprietors of the trail, have
filed on all the available land at
Trout Greek, and are already asking
S75 to 500 for "town lots" A few
buildings are being erected. From
IL reports received It Is Believed a
good wagon road will be built from
Trout Creek to Eagle City as soon as
The mines can be reached from any
point, if not sooner. The great ad-
of this route is its directness.
