SIONTANA'S POPULATION,

In his annual report Ex-Governor eros.
by has evidently underestimate the popu-
lation of Montana. The Ex-Governor
places the population at Soooo The total
vote at the late election for Delegate to
Congress was 26,9oo. This, allowing one
voter to- every four of the population,
would give Montana Il population OF 1917
SIC, which is probably below the actual
number. In the late election it is safe to
say that not all the voting strength OF the
Territory was brought out, and that full
vote would have shown about 10000. AS
Stunning that the latter figures are nearly
correct our present population is not less
than 10000, and perhaps more. In some
localities the average population would be
at least four to one--in others, perhaps
less. The vote was !. legitimate one, SO far
as residence was concerned, as there was
nothing to call for an influx Of floating pop.
ulation, and besides there were many who
came to Montana to seek homes, but who
mad not been in the Territory long enough
to acquire citizenship. This is true OF
Southern Montana, at least.

from now on the questionable method Of
getting money out Of the peoples pockets,

MORMON OBITUARIES.

Mormon obituaries are things that Chris.
tian people do not read or seldom Sec a
Mormon obituary is a queer piece OF com.
position, written in cross between the Eng
lish language and Mormon lingo. These
obituary notices must be exclusive church
property, for they only appear in the Des-
Fret .Nc,vs, the organ Of the so-called Lat
ter Day Saints. 10 arrive at the virtues
Of deiunct Mormons we have patiently pc
rused number of these model obituaries.
There is a samcness or a similarity to them
which leads US to infer that the obituary
tiend Of the 4NcssS must have some kind OF
a patented method Tor MASKING ohi'''at,
notices together. They are daisy death
notices, after the fashion o! Mormon
mourning. We notice four or five differ
cnt degrees of obituaries in the church or.
gan. When Mormon baby or a Mormon
kid dies a few lines are deemed sufficient
If a young Mormon man pegs out prena-
turely his demise is deplorcd much after
the manner ir which stock raiser cx-
presses regret at the loss Of Il promising
young e,alc animal. When young Nor.
mon woman goes to sleep forever she gets
even a better send.otf than the dead Nor
mon Young man. 1t Is dead old Mormon
men and women who Invariably receive
elaborate scnd-otls, for 1t takes close cipher
ing on the part of the obituary writer to
asccrtain--on account OF the plurality bu.
sincss-the exact number OF children, grand.
children, great. grandchildren and even
great-great. grandchildr left throughout
the stakes of Utah to mourn the loss Of a
Mormon Of sixty Or seventy summers. III
one instance an old Saint OF seventy died
leaving five wives, T. .ntv.thrcc children
and tortv-two grandchildren. The figures
are from the .Neas, and as the number OF
great grandchildren is not given the infer.
cncc is that they were too numerous to
successfully count. In case where a
middle aged Mormon, with only Il couple
of wives, died the Nes:s said: "tIe died
| in Manti, in the midst of his family aud
friends, Sunday, November goth, 1854. He
leaves two wives, twelve children and nine
teen grandchildren to mourn his loss
These Mormon obituary statistics arc fact.
with which to feed Christian people ir
their opposition to the dehasing aud damn
ing institution Of polvgamy.

Alden's Literary Revolution.

John Il. Aldcn's Literary Rr,pl~tioM,
though possibly not making SO large
noise in the world as three or four years
ago when its remarkable work was new to
the public, is really making more substan.
tial progress than ever before. A notice
able item is the improved quality of the
books issued. Guizot's famous "History
OF France not sold, till recently, tor
much less than $50, is put forth in eight
small octave volumes, ranking with the
handsomest ever issued from American
printing presses, including the 40 full
page original illustrations, and is sold for
s.. Rawlinson's celebrated ''Scvcn Great
Monarchics ofthe Ancient Eastern World''
is produced in elegant form, with all the
maps and illustrations, reduced from $I8
to $s.7s. These are but representative Of
an immense list of standard works, rang.
ing in price from cents to nearly $so
which are set forth in a descriptive ca,a.
logue Of 100 pages, and which is sent free
to every applicant. 1t certainly is WORTH
the cost Of postal card to the publisher,

THE SILVER DOLLAR QUESTION.

On the recommendation of the President
and Secretary Of the Treasury it is expect.
ed that Congress will attempt to pass Il bill
suspending the coinage Of silver dollars.
Several bills having this object in view
have already been introduced. Senator
McPherson's bill to suspend the coinage of
silver dollars provides that on and after
the passage Of the act the coinage OF silver
dollars shall be suspended; that the Secre.
tary Of the Treasury be directed not 10 re-
issue any United States notes Of demon.
ination less than SIS; to destroy all notes
Of less denomination than SIS, and to cease
engraving Or printing all such notes. 1t
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
upon the deposit OF silver bullion in such
sub.treasur,v as nc shall designate, to issue
to the depositor thereof silver certificates
having upon their face the weight and mar.
ket value Of the metal SO deposited, calcu-
lated in United States gold dollars at the
rate Of ass grains to the dollar The Sec
rotary Is also authorized and required, ON
the presentation Of any silver certificate, to
redeem the same BY delivering to the de.
positors silver bullion If the weight and
fineness certified upon the certificate, and
immediately cancel and destroy such Ger.
tificate.
