In AN able editorial last Monday the New
York Sun asks the question: "Will the sill
YER dollar work an injusticeP ?" and replies:
at will neither cause q financial crash, nsr
produce stringency, nsr injure the labor In
terest. The only serious question is that
regarding contracts new existing, made upon
the expressed or implied assumption that
they were to be fulfilled In gold. The Sun
takes side with the silver advocates As to the
relative value Of gold and silver when gold
contracts were made, arguing that the silver
dollar has not deprecated but that gold has

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-A Washington
special says Of the Inauguration preparations:
Some idea OF the pension building, where
the biggest Inaugural ball ever given In this
country will be held March 4,h, may be got
from the fact that st. Peters at Rome only
holds about $4,000 persons, while the pen>
sion building will hold about $1,000. The
decorations will be made Of the most expen-
sive material. New York contractors have
insured the decorations for $50, 900. The
balconies will be hung with dark red velvet,
spanglsd with gold; each Of the la pillars
will be hung with silk Gags, while beneath
the balconies viii be q shield embrsidered
with the coats Of arms of the different States
and Territories, and hung with silk Gags.
The President will enter the room by door
drsped with crimson silk curtains. The en-
frances are really carriage ways, so their size
may be imagined. The Sun, which prints
the above, adds that President Cleveland
will return to the custom Of Washington and
Jefferson, and stand on dals during the
ceremonies of the ball.

TEE bill authorizing husbands to abso'
iutely convey realty in Montana during the
temporary absence Of wives in the States does
not seem to us wise or just. The present
method may work an Inconvenience occa'
sionslly, but the one proposed might work
wrong frequently. The law as 1t stands is q
very good one. There would be too many
unjust advsni ages possible under the one
proposed.

ALARer number OF commercial houses In
Helena have Aligned petition to the Lsgis-
laturs praying that the commercial trsvslen'
license law be net repealed. The petition
was approved by the Helena Beard Of Trade
and sent TO the Legislature. With oil due
respect TO those merchants and the Board Of
Trade, wc claim that the law - Il now
stands ID unequal and unfair. II costs .
drummer just a. much to sell or offer 70 sell
goods in Beaverhesd county - IL does In
Silver Bow; In Meagher county - In Lewis
and Clarke. The probability II he will net
sell one-tenth OF the goods In the smaller
counties that he does In the larger ones;
hence he either skips the smaller counties or
puts ON corresponding prices u cover the
case. While We believe the better way
would DO 70 repeal the license law - relates
10 commercial travellers where they sell only
10 regularly licensed local dealers, and TO
charge them quadruple the license rates
charged the latter whom they sell 70 other, IL
there are such local licensed dealers In the
county, II does seem TO NJ that II this 70 not
deemed the better course, the county licen-
ses should 1t least bs adjusted TO the rsla-
tive business Of the counties, or the entire
county system be abolished aud Territorial
license issued. Az II d nov, y gives the
merchants OF the larger commercial counties
an unfair advantage over the merchants Of
tts smaller commercial counties.

seems to be no doubt that there will be .
considerable reduction in fees and salaries,
though there will be I strong effort made TO
prevent such laws going into force until after
