SOMETHING LEFT
At Sternbsr9,s,


Our Christmas trade was Clearing" In
its effect. but didn't quite make a clean
sweep" Some Holiday Goods were left.
We won't want them when the festive sea-
son is over-would rather let them go now.
Some people, perhaps fearing christmas
prices" resolved to wait and make their
presents after Christmas. They come in
notc. We will make the loss at once and
be done with it. therefore this IS the oppor-
tunity for those who waited. Vases, Cut
Glass, Japanese Goods, Lamps, fine Crock
cry and China, Bronzes. Statues, Onyx
Tables, Brass Stands and Tables, novel
Brio a-Brac, etc. All must be cleared out
prices won't disappoint you.
Our Diamond, Jeweiry and Silverware
Departments are still amply supplied. OF
course IL Is not necessary always to sell
ualuGbles at e loss, it would be like Offering
half-eaE.es for four seventy-five. We
will. however, skin our profit to the bone
to reduce stock. This Is another oppor-
tunity for tardy buyers
Wedding presents are still in order.
Perhaps you belong to some society. Elec-
ton period is at hand, and you may want
to present some esteemed officer or colleague
with handsome Silver Piece or Set, or a
Gold-handled Cane or Umbrella. We can
please you. Engraving, suitable inscrip-

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-06-17
lac IAIESI MOVE.

In Washington the silver situation
changes with the rising and setting OF
each days sun. The managers sup
posed they had everything arranged
for the compromise measure, the details
of which have been given in the STAN
DARD. When il came to a count OF
noses. the republicans wouldn't stand
up and be counted. The signs now are
that the democrats in the senate, with
the help of as many republicans as they
can rally, will 60 for straight-out free
coinage and leave the republican house
To oppose il if il can, or the president
To veto il if he dare.
Some of the senate's strong men on
the republican side are out and out for
free coinage. Senator Wolcott has
been warmly for the cause from the
first and he has been unsparing in his
criticisms of President Harrison and
Secretary Window. Senator ingalls,
represents a free coinage constituency
and he will vote on the right side, al
though hitherto in the fight he has not
been aggressive.
President IIarrison's attitude is re-
markable. lie declares that he will
sign no silver bill that has not been
passed by a republican majority, thus
| putting himself in what he deems an
entirely safe place, since it is clear that
the republican majority in the house
will do absolutely nothing to help the
cause of silver. The president gives
an intensely partisan turn to the issue,
but his policy toward the metal has
been evasiye from the first and he
doubtless is willing to put himself di-
rectly in the pathway of any legisla-
ton that would be even so much as ac-
ceptable To the West. His course in
this business, however unwarrantable,
is highly characteristic of the man.
The situation has no feature that is
pleasing To the friends of silver and
those who predict that no legislation is
In store for the metal are probably
guessing pretty close To the truth.

capture not only the governor nj next
October's election, but also the legisla-

Not through any lack of apprecia-

CAD in hand lays himself out to teach
them the rudiments of their education,
the essential differences existing be-
tween gee" and 'haw," then the noble
steers are typical Of the cultivation
of the soil, and all that the cultivation
of the soil signifies, as Ouida would
say, the waving fields of grain, the
broad acres of potatoes, the vast patches
of tasted corn with yellow bellied
pumpkins lying lovingly at the feet of
the stalwart stalks, and all the rest of
of the sweet sounding business.
If Governor Gordon Of Georgia were
only a citizen of a northern state those
steers of his youth might carry him
into the White House. As 1t is, the
governor is already under deep and
lasting obligations TO them, and should
he go to the United states senate, as
seems quite possible. he will enter ma
tional politics with a practical knowl-
edge and understanding of steers such
as few public men possess; and In these
days the ability to tell a straight steer
from a crooked is of inestimable
value.
