THE TIMBERLINE RULES.

The Helena Herald in speaking of Colone
Sanders connection with the Timberlint
difficulties and OF the rules adopted by the
Northern Pacific Company for the govern.
ment of its workmen observes:
I'VE remember once to have seen q
printed copy of them and have expressed
our opinions freely concerning them. We
would never accept q place to work under
such restrictions and would never advise
any one else to do 50. We should hope
Montana would never have q resident
within her borders willing to accept en-
ployment on any such terms. II the com
pany can't find men to work under such
unreasonable conditions they will undoubt-
eddy change them. The rules seem to have
been drawn to suit q lot of contract labor
ers, such as have been imported from Hun
gary and Poland into the coal regions OF
Pennsylvania. They are not suited to the
latitude OF Montana, nor does Montana
want any men who will submit to work un-
der such restrictions."
All OF which is very fine, and the conclu.
sion eminently sound. But should not the
Herald have added, that no resident of
Montana should accept a position under
the Company in which he would be CON-
PEELED to enforce the obnoxious rules; that
if they were too oppressive for a free man
to work under no freeman should defend
them in court or oht of court and that as
Montana does not want any men who
will submit to work under such restric-
tions," neither does she want q man to
represent her in Congress who will prose-
cute w~orkinsmen, who in the exercise of a
freeman's right, rebels against them?
Ths Herald is right. The rules are not
suited to the latitude of Montana, and we
add that the man who upholds or
defends them, directly or indirectly, as
layman or Office seekers is not suited to the
latitude of Montana.

The great success of Mr.. Grismer's former
visit to this city in "Called Back was re
peated last evening at the Grand Opers
House before a large audience. The play
is a powerful dramatization by Mr.. Girls
mer Of Hugh Conway's famous novel, and
is one of the strongest yet presented by this
company. The combination appeared to
great advantage, Mr.. Grismer appearing as
the Italian conspirator, Nacari. gave a
powerful Interpretation OF the character,
receiving continuous applause from the au:
dience for his acting Of the part OF the cum
ming villain. Miss Davies, as Pauline
March, again gave a splendid piece Of act
ing in the role OF the heroine, and COM
pletely won thesympathies of the audience.
Mr.. E. L. Davenport, as Gilbert Vaughan,
Mr.. Wilson Deal as DR.. Csnsrs, Mr.. Harry
Davenport as DR.. Deane, tho kind "old"
doctor, and Mr.. Webster as Anthony
March, gave excellent renditions Of their
respective characters, while Mrs. Sara
Stevens as the kind nurse Priscilla, and
Miss Loyola OConnor as Teresa were
splendid. Tonight Monte Cristo," the
famous drama, will be given.

PLAIN FACTS.

Monometallists are not quite 10 plentiful
in this day and generation in Butte and VI.
cinity as they were in the past. The dangez
which surrounded silver a year or 80 ago
opened the eyes Of our citizens and induced
them to study the situation from a practi'
cal standpoint. Even the one or two Re
publican newspapers which didn't appear
to enjoy good health without their daily
screeds against silver, either give q left.
handed support to the Bland bill Of pre-
serve the silence of the tomb upon the sub
ject.
But it is we'll anough to jog their memory
| at times upon the Importance OF silver and
the place it should occupy in filling chan.
nels oftrads for fear they may relapse into
their old habit OF cursing the standard sill
YER dollar and the Democratic party fol
favoring its continued coinage. And we
know OF no better method Of accomplishing
this purpose in a truly genteel way than by
reproducing part Of an article found in
that faithful and sterling friend of silver
tho Mining Record.
In replying to an article which appeared
in an anti-silver journal published in New
York in which a sneering reference
is made to the Eight weight sur
plus dollars now bursting our
Treasury vaults at Washington"
The Record pertinently says: THAT jour-
nal should know that the dollar of 412k
grains of silver, so far from being q short
weight dollar, gives q weight Of silver as
the legal equivalent OF 20 $40 grains OF
gold, 3 per cent. greater than is given to
1925, TOO, 900 OF silver owned by the bank
of France. $780, OO, 900 owned by the
Imperial Bank OF Germany, SOS, $4,000
owned by the Austro- Hungarian Bank
and $40, 500, 900 owned by the Neither
lands bank, or in the aggregate $435, $780,
900, constituting 49x per cent. OF the
specie reserve owned by the four greatest
banks OF the commercial world at this
time.
The total amount Of these so-called
s'surplus" standard dollars coined up to
the first Of September by the mints of the
United States was 23s, 623, 26s or hardly
$3.9S per head of our population
and barely $12,O00,OoO more than
the legal tender silver held by
the Bank OF France with $326,OO0,-
900 in circulation among the people or
$8.5 s per head Of the population. There
fore, nothing were more absurd than the
assertion that our silver coinags is a sur
plus affair because there chance to be
about $97, O0O, 900 of that species of
money in the Treasury unbalanced by out
standing silver certificates. And, further
more, we should like some intelligent rea-
son Tor calling the 1884 ,OO0, 900 in silver a
overwhelming tie Treasury vaults
any more than the 1896, 2OO.O 600 in gold
that are packed away side by side with
them in the same vaults? When that may
be done nationally, we may also soon ex-
pect to see sunshine extracted from cucum
bers, a feat that has as yet escaped all the
powers of chemistry.

SILVER WILL WIN.

Now that in obedience to q popular de
mand which could not be suppressed, says
the Rocky Mountain News, the English
Government has appointed a special com
mission to inquire into the part played in
the depression Of prices by the demoneti.
cation and disuse of silver, it is possible
that the leading newspapers of the great
cities of our Atlantic seaboard will dis.
cover that there is more in the coinage
question than has been dreamt of in their
philosophy.
1t has been q disgrace to American jour.
nalism that tho leading papers of the most
populous and wealthy portions OF the
country should have treated the most i'm.
portant issue of the time az a humbuq
which should be denounced without a hear.
ing. This is what the press OF the East
has attempted to do, but thanks to the
courageous people of the West and South
the conspiracy which had it's origin among
the bondholders and National bankers OF
Wall street was knocked out in
one round in the Democratic House.
The simple truth that the demonetiza-
ton OF silver has depressed prices in all the
leading commercial countries of Europe
and America, and has increased the burden
of debtand taxation, is rapidly being mas
tered by all the intelligent people of the
world. and the next thing after the clear
recognition OF an evil is the search for a
remedy. The demonstration of silver is
the remedy in this case, and it will not be
long before public opinion in the leading
commercial countries of the world will COM
pei a general return to the policy OF bimet-
allie coinage.
There is no reason to suppose that bimet-
allism would be FASTENED by the suspension
OF our present silver coinage. The coinage
helps us to tide over the time OF transition
and in a large measure it accounts for the
TACT that business is better in the United
States to-day than in any other country in
the world. The Bland act has added $780,
OOO, 900 to our currency since 1873 and to
extent has prevented the stringency
which would but for it have been as seri-
felt here as it has been in Europe.
When the free coinage of silver in Europe
and this country is established, as it soon
must be, we will have reason to rejoice
the wisdom which maintained the
'ilver coinage under the Bland act in oppo.
'ition to the wishes of Wall street, the
press and one or two Montana
ournals.

BY r
Four Thousand Cords Of Wood Des.
trOyed by Fire in Browns Gulch

For the past three days large volumes OF
smoke have been seen in the direction OF
Browns Gulch. Monday, Joseph Clark,
superintendent Of the Moulton Mining
Company, was appraised of the fact that
some persons had set fire to their large
tricks of cord wood which were piled up
ready to be floated down their flume in
Browns Gulch. Mr.. Clark was seen yes
terday and the following facts were
learned about the fire: The Company had
considerable wood up in Browns Gulch and
ON account of the scarcity OF water they
the 1ume, but the wood had been ranked
up in "ricks'' on the banks of the flume
ready to be floated down next spring. SIM.
day night two wood choppers, whose cabin
is about two hundred yards from the
ricks of ord wood, went to bed as usual
and noticed nothing wrong. One OF them,
by the name OF Moore, had wound up the
alarm on the clock, which by some unfor-
seen accident went of at 1 O'Clock. Moore
jumped out Of bed. expecting it was 5
O'Clock. What was his horror to behold a
bright light in front OF the cabin. He
awakened his partner at once and started
for the fire. They saw at a glance that the
ricks of cord wood had been fired in three
or iour different places. They could not
do much themselves, so M Of them start
ed for the mouth of the gulch where some
thirty men were encamped, while the other
started to cut the fire off from extending
the entire length of the rick.
When help arrived the men went to work
with a will to save part of the wood and
last night they had the fire confined but
not before about 1000 cords had been
consumed, besides about 500 feet OF the
flume.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000,
which is only partially covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. Clark offers a reward OF $500
for information leading to the arrest and
conviction OF the parties who set the wood
on fire, as there is no doubt thatit was the
work of an incendiary. Yesterday the
ground was examined wheret the fire started
and the tracks here found OF two horses,
one OF which was shod with heavy work
shoes, while the other one had light shoes
on. Evidently there were two in the party
for they ssere tracked for a distance of two
miles in Telegraph Gulch.
The Moulton Company have offered a re-
ward of $500 leading to the arrest and o N
vlction OF the perpetrators.
