HERR MOST.

This promoter and defender of anarchy
in America, and blood-thirsty editor of a
villainous sheet, is again making himself
heard in the land. Not long since q New
York reporter found his way into Most's
den. The arch agitator was not present,
but q couple OF compositors were at work
setting up one OF Mrs. Lucy Parsons lucu-
brations.
Last weeks issue of the Freiheit is the

Gated over a saloon. In the issue referred
to Herr Most deals with Henry George and
his movement at considerable length. The
author of Progress and Poverty has failed
to win his support. He regards Georges
theories as decidedly thin, and he looks
upon George himself as a mercenary, and
says SO to the extent OF a column and a hall

Deer Lodge Court House

Yesterday this building was completed
by McDevitt & Mcconnell, the contractors.
The building is constructed OF the very best
material obtainable. The building contains
below the Clerk and Recorders office and
vault, the Probate Judges court room, OF.
fee and vault; and the T%rcasurer's vault.
The Offices are large and we'll lit, and the
vaults roomy and considered absolutely
fire proof. The second story is all in one
magnificent court room, 3Sx55 feet in the
clear, with 19k foot ceiling splendidly light
ed and ventilated, with ample room for the
court, jury, clerks, lawyers, prisoners and
bailiffs within the bar, and comfortable
seating room for at least 800 people OUT
side the rail. 1t is pronounced by all visit
ors, by lawyers and builders, by all odds,
in point of room, lighting, ventilation, ar.
rangement and finish, the best court oom
in Montana. The building, with all vaults,
approaches, furniture, ETC., will stand the
county about $35, 900; and if the records
Of the Clerk OF the District Court had vault
room. and the old building were removed,
would give the people OF that county as
near absolute protection for their records
as can be had.

The President is receiving an abundance
OF advice. Every little upstart seems
called upon to pity and counsel him him az
to his policy and duty. We may be wrong,
but we have q distinct impression that
the President has a head of his own. We
are also under the impression that the
anxiety OF the ~popinjays is unnecessary
and unsolicited. The masses who elected
Mr.. Cleveland are well pleased with his
course, and are willing TO try him again.
It is observable that those who regarded
his nomination as q blunder and his cleo.
ton as impossible are most profuse with
their counsel. They should not be u
happy. The wheel will move without the
aid of the fly that lights on it. In the
meantime if the p~opinjays think that the
President doesn't know what he is about,
they should take q glass Of SOLDERING soda,
think a moment and see if they are not u
little off.

let all our people forego their accustomed EN-.
pigments and assemble in their usual places Of
worship to give thanks to the Ruler OF the Uni
verse for our continued enjoyment of the bless.
ings of a free government; for the renewal OF
business prosperity throughout our land; for the
return which has rewarded the labor OF those
who till the soil, and for our progress as PEG
pie in all that makes . nation great, And while
earthquake, flood and storm, let the grateful
hearts of those who have been shielded from
harm through His mercy be turned in sympathy
and kindnesst toward those who have suffered
through His visitati0ns. Let us also in the
midst of our Thanksgiving remember the poor
and Beedy with cheerful gifts and aims, SO that
our service may, by deeds of charity, be made
acceptable in the sight of the Lord.
In witness whereof l have hereuntO set my
hand and caused the seal ofthe United States to
be affixed.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR.

Ex.Vice President, Chester A. Arthur.
died at his residence in New York City at s
o'clock yesterday morning. His death wal
not entirely unlocked for by his immediate
friends as the nature of his disease and his
failing health almost precluded hope of his
recovery. The subject Of this sketch was
born in Franklin county, Vermont, Octo-
ber S, 1880. His father, DR.. William A.
Arthur. va a prominent Baptist minister
in that state. Mr.. Arthur received all the
educational advantages the schools OF the
time afforded, and in 1849 he graduated
from Union College and Immediately com
menced the study OF law. He a. admitted
to the bar, and in 1861 was appointed In
spector General of the New York militia, to
which state he had moved several years
previously. Later he was appointed
Quarter-master General, which position he
held until 1871 when President Grant ap-
pointed him Collector OF the Port Of New
York. This position he held until July.
1878, when he returned to the practice OF
law. He was elected Vice President of the
United States by the Republican party in
1880, James A. Garfield being elected Pres
ident. After GarfeId's DEATH Mr.. Arthur
became President and held that position
until Mr.. Cleveland relieved him of it's
duties.
Mr.. Arthur's administration was char.
acterized by it's conservatism rather than
BY its b~rilliancy. But he was considered a
safe man by his party and in the Chicago
Republican Convention in 1884 he was Mr..
Blaine's principal opponent for the nomi-
nation for the Presidency. Since his re-
tirement Mr.. Arthur has taken no promi-
nent part in the councils of his party, nor
shown a disposition to engage actively in
politics. Unbiased history will place Mr..
Arthur among the great men of the coun.
try who honestly endeavored to serve the
people in all matters in which they gave an
expression Of their wishes. This fact was
prominently evidenced in his signing the
Chinese restrictive measur after
the first. For this one act Mr..
Arthur will long be held in grateful remem'
brance by the people OF the West.

SILVER In FAVOR.

In their recent annual report the Bank
Commissioners of the State of California
make q very important statement which
must be regarded. coming as it does from a
State in which gold has circulated for over
thirty years, and constituted it's chief
money agency, as a lattering testimonial
of the growing favor in which the white
metal is being held:
The silver standard dollar seems every
day to increase in popularity in our State.
The country banks find the undated de-
mand for it hard to meet. Most of them
receive from one to three thousand dollars
q week from the sub-treasury in San Fran
cisco, the expense of the transfer being paid
by the general government. This rapidly
goes into circulation and disappears no
one knows where, as it never returns to the
banks. 1t seems to remain among the pee-
pie, as q necessary medium of trade. We
find by our investigation on this point,
that it. does not return to the city
through the agency of the country mer-
chant, for they do not pay their bills in
San Francisco in silver. They seldom send
a dollar OF silver to the city, either to liqui-
date their debts. OF purchase new goods.
All this is lone by drafts on the city banks
OF WIFI S0lu anu currency 6enU UnrCugl Cne
postofics or express. The only two ave.
nues by which the silver dollar seems to
find it's way back to the city are through
the settlements made by the country post
Offices with the main postofice in San
Francisco, and the settlements made With
the various railroad stations throughout
the State and the head office in San Fran
cisco. But through these avenues cannot
be traced one-ffth of the amount constantly
streaming into the interior of the State
through the local country banks.
There never was q proposition 80 unani-
mously unpopular with the people Of Cali
fornia as that proposing to stop the coin
age Of the silver dOl1ar.
The fight SO bitterly waged by Eastern
money dealers against silver has had the
effect in our State of keeping our large
city banks in a constant state of alarm
lest they might be caught with a depre-
ciated currency in their vaults. The con-
sequence is that, though disappearing OF
this anti-silver crusade, they are yet
forced, as it were, to take part in it in a
quiet way, by avoiding silver as much as
it is possible. 1t seems plain that if the
anti-silver war in the Eastern States was
decidedly discouraged by our Government
it would soon cease and hat there would
be but little further trouble in. the con-
tinued coinage of silver"

The reelection of j. K. Toole to Con-
gress from the Territory of Montana has
very little significance, as delegates do not
possess the power to vote. 1t will, how
ever, have an influence upon the admission
Of new states into the Union. Four years
ago Major Maginnis Democracy was re-
elected for the sixth time as Delegate to
Congress. Two years ago J. K. Toole. the
Democratic nominee, pulled through by a
majority of only 1919. This year he was
reelected against Colonel William F. San
ders, 1.-THE Republican war-horse" of the
Territory, by 5000 majority. With these
figures Montana will lay claim to a perma-
nent Democratic majority and ask to be
admitted as a State as an offset to Repub-
lican Dakota. Mr.. Toole is a young man,
scarcely 80 years old, a lawyer by profess
sion, N made an excellet record for him
self during his first term OF Congress.-San

An exchange from the eastern nort;o

An exchange from the eastern portion o.
the Territory charges that Judge Galbraith
OF the Second Judicial District of Montana
made political speeches during the late
campaign. This is an error which, if per-
mitted to remain unrectified, might posi-
bly, work an injury to the Judge. There is
a Galbraith in Fergus County, we believe,
who was a candidate for a county Office,
and made a few speeches. We understand
a gentleman by that name, living in Beav-
erhead county, also made a few speeches.
during the campaign. But Judge Galbraith,
during the whole campaign, was holding
court in Silver Bow and Beaverhead coun.
ties.
