Sherman's Silver Bill.

Some local inquiry having been
made as to the features of the sill
yer bill recently introduced by
Senator Sherman, we reproduce the
New YORK Trib@ne's comments up.
on the bill at the time Of its intro
ducIion
The vital feature of Mr.. Sher.
mans bill, evidently, is the provis-
ion that the amount of such certifi-
Gates at any time outstanding shall
not exceed the cost of the bullion
purchased by such certificates. In
other words the cert. icateS shall
be given only for the value OF the
silver bullion i'll gold on the day OF
purchase. II it were possible next
10 get rid OF the standard dollars
aud of the silver coinage certli-
Gates ut present outstanding, the
situation would have this immense
advantage, that there would be no
possibility of drifting away from
the gold basis OP driving gold out
OF the country by the substitution
of a cheaper medium. 1t is to be
presumed that the Senator hopes
this advantage will be attained.
The second section provides that
the standard silver dollars may be
deposited, and bullion certificates
issued in their steal. The bill does
not make it quite clear for what
amount the certificates shall he
isSuedi but presumably for the
nominal value of the dollars as
coins, which would be in effect
.redeelDing them at the par of gold.
The question would still remain
what the Government is going to
do with the accumulation of coins
in the Treasury and whether it can
prevent their being forced into use
hereafter. 1t is indeed possible
that the issue Of the new cerlifi
Gates would SO far dIscrtd dit The
coin certificates aud the
silver dollars as to cause
them to be speedily returned to
The Treat ury through the Custom
Houses. That would involve ~
heLvy burden aud some risk for
i time, but the eud might DO the
complete retirement of the eighty,
cent dollars aud certificates and
The substitution of certificates
representing only the gold value OF
the silver bullion held by the
Treasury.

WILLIAM H. YOUNG.

Mr.. Young, who is one of the candidates
On the Democratic ticket for County Com.
missioner, was born in New York in 1914
The same year his parents moved to Wis
c1nsin. where he lived until 1864, when ht
left the 'old folks at home'' and STRUCK
out for the west to carve out his own for
tune. He arrived in Virginia City, this
Territory, the same year, and after mining
on Alder Gulch eight or nine months he
went over to Helena, arriving there in the
spring of 1865. Mr.. Young engaged
in placer and quartz mining near Helena
and in Park City south of Helena for ten
years, when he came to Butte in 1875,
where in c~ompanywith Barney R%oudebush
he has since been constantly engaged in
silver quartz mining.
Messrs. Roudebush & Young built the
old Burlington mill and have always been
prominent mining men in this city. Mr..
Young is now interested in several mining
properties in this district and is develop
ing them with fattering results. Being
thus thoroughly identified with the inter-
ests OF the county, and being a large tax
payer he is deeply interested in the pros
perity and advancement of the place. He
is a gentleman of good business attain
ments, cautious, pa%instaking and scrupu-
lousy conscientious-the very qualities
needed in a County Commissioner. He
will make a most excellent one. A man
who can manage his own business well can
be trusted to manage county affairs. He
should be elected. .

candidate for Coroner, was born in Nays
vile, KY. May 1S, 1854. His parents re
moved to Platte county, Missouri, in 1856,
and to Warren county. Illinois, in 1851.
He began an apprenticeship in his fathers
drug store in 1869. He received degree
in the University OF Nashville in 1875, the
summers being passed in the drug store.
In 1875 he embarked in business Tor him.
self and began the study of medicine in the
medical department Of the University oil
Pennsylvania. Receiving thedegree OF MI
in 1878, he was appointed to fill q vacancy
in the Office OF County Physician in War
rem county. He was reappointed to the
same position in 1879. In 1880, following
tho tide OF emigration, he removed to Colo.
RADIO, locating in Chaffee county. where he
engaged in mining and the practice OF his
profession. In 1882 he was appointed the
first county physician and superintended
the selection of the medical and surgical
supplies OF the county. The fame OF Butte
having greater attractions, the doctor
came here about a year ago, and believing
the field in the drug line not SO fully rep
resented as the field of practitioners, he
opened the Shultz Pharmacy on West
Park street.
DR.. Shultz is o young man of far more
than ordinary promise. Blessed with su-
perior natural endowments, he has re-
ceived an excellent education, and always
appears to good advantage in what
ever position he is placed. In the present
campaign he has shown that he is pos
sessed of splendid stock OF energy as we'll
as intelligence. and no onedoubts but when
elected to the position Tor which he has
been nominated he will show there the same
energy and intelligence that he displays in

One OF the candidates for County Com.
missioner on the Democratic ticket, was
born in Connecticut and raised in Chicago.
He remained in that city until he wal 32
years OF age, during the last eight years be-
ing engaged in business for himself. He left
Chicago in 1878 and entered in the employ
OF the Utah & Northern railway. where he
remained until 1883, being cashier ofgthe
road for the last four years, during which
time from $4,000 900 to $500, 90 passed
through his hands each month. It is net d.
less to say Mr.. McQueeney's books were
square to q cent. After leaving the en-.
ploy of the company Mr.. McQueeney en-
gagged in the freight transfer business at the
depot, where he is now conducting that
business. The gentleman is a thoroughly
trained business man, wide-awake, ener.
getic, enterprising and industrious, and be-
ing fully identified with the interests of the
county, and having its advancement and
prosperity at heart, he is a most accent.
able candidate, and will be supported by
all regardless OF party affiliations. No bet.
ter man could be selected for the office.

TIMBERLINE LITERATURE.

The attention of the Workiugmen OF
Butte is directed to the following bit oil
Timberline literature which we find in the
Montana Democrat. 1t may assist them
in deciding whether w. F. Sanders, the
agent and attorney of the company that is
guilty Of committing such rank, cruel in
justice to the heart-broken parents and
widows at Timberline, should receive the
endorsement their votes wonld give him:
".Since the lockout, and before the EN-.
ployes established their own store. a child
of one OF the miners died, and the manager
Of the store refused to sell the heart broken
parents a pair OF stockings to cover the
dead child's feet. Before the lockout a
poor widow who kept a few boarders had
the temerity to go to Bozemanto purchase
a bill of goods on which she saved % per
cent. The manager hearing of this, the
poor woman was ordered to leave her
house in five days. Recently the spy sys-
TEN was inaugurated.
Immediately after the lockout a notice
was posted at the mines that when work
was resumed, the price ofmining coal would
be reduced from 81 to 80 cents a ton.
They also posted a notice on the tenth OF
July giving their employees until the twenty
third to vacate the company's houses.
They also notified the locked out miners to
call at the company office fortheir checks,
which they discounted at 5 per cent"
