1T SUITS Them.

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal has been intensely hostile to free
coinage. IL accepts the silver bill
passed by the republicans as much
less harmful" than the measure which
the democrats with the aid of a few
republicans passed in the senate and
all but carried through the house. II
finds a great deal of comfort in the
discretion" lodged with the secretary
of the treasury, because 1t knows, as
all of us know. that MI. Window is I'M
friendly to silver and will give the
metal no show If he can help it. The
Engineering and Mining Journal puts
its view in this way:
The secretary NJ the treasury having the OPP
ton of r~eiecming these bullion notes In silver.
and sine. he also determines what "the market
price" 81 silver il, and IL instructed Ia buy only
M much ~ i,50,0S ounces of bullion rs
siay he offered each month. IL rests with him
practically Ia determine how much silver shall
he purchased each month. We believe Il is u
mistake To leave 10 much Ia the discretion of
amy one officer 81 the government, though In this
ease the secretary no doubt understands the
matter better and will ACT with greater wisdom
Than either the senators or congressman have
shown. The effect of the law will altogether de.
pend On the 'discretion" ~ the secretary.
This is the reflection out of which
Professor l,aymond's journal gets com
fort. Its discussion of the bill that was
passed leads il to conclude that "the
measure will, in our opinion, injure
rather than help the cause of bi-metal-
ism," and il closes its comments with
these words: ut is not n little com
| forting TO think how much worse the
ease would have been il free coinage
had been enacted"
This is the kind of talk one finds i'm
all of the newspapers that have been
opposing silver. They were afraid at
one time that the free coinage bill
would pass. They welcomed the meas
IRE that promised To put the coinage of
the metal under decided check, and
the bill which Mr.. Harrison signed de-
lighted them. Less satisfied than some
of these newspapers is the New York
Tribune. which finds in the new law an
escape from free coinage but which
clings to the hope that. before another
session of congress. republican states
men may see good reaso for amending
the act SO as TO provide bullion redemp-
ton for silver certificates"
How difficult il is To recognize in the
newspaper that says this the national
organ of the party which. in its plat
form, gave pledge that silver should be
restored to its rightiul place in the
country's currency.

being no good reason for its refusal,
Mr.. Fee framed a very shabby ne-an
excus which was evidently advanced
on the theory that Missoula's people
are fools. In the anne way, the
Northern Pacific withhOlds the stop
over ticket requested by Helena. In
fact, 1t appears to be beyond the reach
of all Montana cities.
Mr.. Fees figures show a large amount
of business. although it represents a
money total which is r%idiculOusly small
when compared with the freight traffic
furnished by Butte and Anaconda.
Yet the Northern Pacific persists I'm a
policy which is distinctly hostile to
Butte. Why the railroad company
elects to follow this course, no man can
guess. The ways of the Northern Pa
ciiic are past finding out.

The Northern Pacific railroad is not
to be trifled with. Its action ut Helena
on Thursday in stopping a train on a
trestle to throw off u tramp was a fine
display of its determination not to be
imposed upon. IL proposed nee for
all to make an example which should
stand as a perpetual warning to the
entire membership of the tramp fra
ternity and incidentally TO the entire
kicking public. Fortune favored the
company in taking care that the tramp
was not killed outright. Had his neck
been broken the example would have
lost half its force. IL was much better
that his wounds should be limited to a
broken shoulder and some internal in
juries, for this circumstance gave
the company an opportunity to
let the victim lie on the plat
form sixteen hours without any
medical or other attention whatsoever.
II is to be hoped that the vigorous
stand taken by the company i'm defense
of its rights and privileges will be keen
ly appreciated.

when the Men settle Down.

From the kelso Courier.
Young men and maidens in the state Of
Wash ngton are not equal in point of
numbers, SO that when the former want to
marry they occasionally nave to 90 or
send elsewhere for wives. In 1880 the
men of thiss state were 63,2sl; the women
were 3 2,51s, and this yea the two-to-one
ratio continues. Things will gradually
equalize, and the present disparity will
disappear as the country settles up and
the men settle down.
