The President yesterday gave audience
to a committee of the Lake Mohunk Ind
ian Conference, listened to their speeches,
and in turn reviewed the Indian question,
pointing out the difficulties that lay in the
way OF it's perfect solution. The President
sAe"ea thot hn bod eiuan the a,,ae+;nn seri-
GUS consideration and was making an
honest effort to deal justly by the Indians
and to advance their civilization. The
Presidents readiness to receive suggestions
and the %frankness with which he discusses
all questions with the people are among the
strongest points in his character.

A residing at Meaderville
writes The MINER, thanking us for calling
attention to the want OF school facilities
in that town. He complains hat his chill
dren and many Others who are too far adj
yanced for the local school are compelled
to walk all the way to Butte. He justly
considers this a hardship on the children,
and the matter should receive the imme-
date consideration OF the school board.
The citizens OF Meaderville should petition
the board upon the matter and we haveno
doubt that it would receive favorable &C.

THE telegraph this morning brings the in
telligence that the Northern Pacific Railway
management has fully entered upon the
policy OF building branches and extending
existing lateral lines. These feeders are so
essential to the business of the main line
that they are to be pushed with the utmost
vigor. This determination on the part OF
the management is a hopeful sign for the
Butte branch.

If Foley were alive, and had last even

that alleged portrait OF him in the Inter

for him. 1t was the worst we have ever
seen, and the cut fully explained the cabal-

A PARTY of Englishlnen who have been
making a tour OF the world, on yesterday
paid their respects to the Chief Magistrate
OF the United States and were as much sur.
prised as they were pleased with the alb
sence OF formalities at the White House.
The party had called upon the rulers of
a score OF nations, but the one at Wash
ington was the first such Gull made by them
that gave them any pleasure. The sim
plicity that surrounds a true Democratic
government is infinitely more grand and
imposing to the intelligent man than all the
pomp and circumstance Of royalty.

IT now transpires that the report OF the
Bozeman grand jury upon the accounts OF
the county officials was made without a
full knowledge OF the facts and entirely for
political effect. This is a contemplate
piece of business and it is a pity that the
immunity from responsibility cast about
grand jurors will prevent the maligned
county officials from receiving redress.

IT would not cost much money to erect
and maintain an electric tower about mid
way between Butte and South Butte.
There is much travel on this road at night
and such a light would not only be a great
convenience, but a protection against foot
pads and thieves. Three or four towers
between Butte and Walkerville would be
hailed as a great boon to thousands OF
people who daily use this highway.

n1.METAIL1C

There il no subject oil 80 much impor-
! lance to the silver producing states ana
territories as that of establishing the rela-
tive value between gold and silver coins
the free coinage OF such at the mlnts, ana
the national as well al the ~ernatlo
use of both metals as money to an uniim-
tied extent as q legal tender. This matter
hos been under consideration in Congress
for the past nine years, and various Ac's
have been passed and approved having ior
their object a satisfactory solution OF the
nroblem. The Government, in it's desire to
protect and promote the great silver MN
ing interests Of her citizens, has by author
lty oil that legislation been instrument IN
convening several International Monetary
Conferences, composed OF representatives
from the principal commercial, mercantile
and manufacturing communities in Europe.
The principal object in holding these con-
ferences was to secure the cooperation OF
the powers represented in them, in firmly
establishing the relative value OF the two
most precious metals, gold and silver, as q
currency to circulate as sucn among all the
nations in the world. The result OF their
deliberations, unfortunately, shows that
those of whom they were composed were
unequal to the ask assigned them, for they
not only manifested hat their information
relative to such q highly important mat
ter, was restricted to very narrow bounds,
but they signally failed even in their efforts
to recommend any measures worthy OF
consideration.
Why these conferences failed, composed
as they were of men distinguished in their
respective countries as being familiar with
the value Of gold and silver metals and
their uses as currency in every business
transaction, is a question, Judging from the
reports OF their proceedings, well calculated
to puzzle this most profoundly learned in
political economy. Their utter failure to
arrive at al intelligent solution of the prob
lem, Or to agree upon some definite plan,
can not be justly attributed to our Govern
ment or it's representatives. The unparal-
leled development Of the silver producing |
resources of the Rocky Mountain regions in
our land was of itself sufficient to spur the
Government and it's representatives to
employ all their wisdom, experience and
diplomacy in securing such action by those
conferences as would lead to the establish
ment OF a bi-metallic currency which would
be accepted as a fixed value everywhere.
The adoption OF some suck plans as have
been recommended by the United States is
the only means that the country can escape
from the dilemma, into which the rapidly in
c~reasing annual output OF our silver mines
has plunged it.
Silver, like every mineral or metallic sub
except gold, has had and will have
