The money question is again more than ever
the principal element in the making of the

wiping out of the legal reserves of the banks
by some inexplicabe drain TO the interior last
week has put an end to the slow but steady I'M
provement, which continued throughout last
week in spite OF the high rates for money,
together with other disturbing causes. The re-
appearance of the strike on the New y ork Cen
tral was also factor in the situation TINS
morning, Notwithstanding the confidence
SHOWN by London, where prices. were ali frac-
tlonally higher than our figures of Saturday,
the opening of the market here was marked by
small losses in almost all active stocks, and
these were followed by further depression.
During the day though, in few cases, there
were net declines of special imp )rtance. Silver
was higher IN London. and speculation in GER
tihcates here again assumed large proportions,
and the price was pushed up rapidly, lacking
less than 10 cents of a parity with gold This
acted somewhat as a sustaining influence upon
the railroad list, but the decline i'm prices were

The circumstances under which the
Mckinley bill passed the house yester-
day were eminently fitting. 1t has been
pushed forward under the most arbi-
trary and unfair conditions, and the AS
ISOLATED Press thus records the finale:
Members on both sides seemed to be
trying to outvie each other in creating
noise rather than giving any intelligent
consideration to the bill. It was i'm
possible to understand what was being
said, the applause, laughter and cries
of Louder drowning the voices of the
speakers. No respect was given to the
rules; no attention was paid to the rec
ignition of the chairman, and uproar
was the order of the hour" It is not
surprising to read that by typograph-
ical error the duty on jute earnings was
reduced five per cent from the present
schedule. Probably other errors will be
discovered when time is afforded for g
careful analysis of the items. There is
little probability that the senate viii
pass the bill

SOME humorist has discovered that
the army OF the United States consists
of 2,l67 commissioned ofticers-and
sufficient number of men to keep them
from entirely forgetting in what their
duties consist. This number a general
law fixes at $4,000 men; but, as matter
of fact, for several years, congress has
fallen into the habit of making an ap-
preparation for only 5000. The militia
~ authorities persist in demanding the
statutory quota, but SO far their de-
mands have been quietly ignored.
Leaving out Of account considerable
number Of enlisted men who are per
forming civilian duties, the adiutant-
general OF the army reports the actual
strength Of the army as 2o,li5. A very
simple process in division reveals the
wonderful fact that to each officer there
are but nine soldiers end fraction. Il

A PROMINENT publisher of New York
city, it is said, has in his employment at
a good salary young lady whose news
paper forte is her memory. She is an
omnivorous reader; not content with
the productions Of English-speaking
authors, she has devoured nearly all the
English translations Of foreign works.
The matter is to her evidently unim-
portant for we are told that after sur
felt of dime novels she is in the habit of
washing the taste out of her mouth by
draught from the ancient classics.
She is the publishe RS literary detective.
For the plagiarist she watches ever.
The borrowed plot, the pllfered phrase,
the copied style, none of these may hope
to escape the hawk eye Of this modern
Argus. "This is good story" says the
Chicago Herald, land plausible one,
but it is questionable whether the young
lady is engaged in good work or not.
A little judicious plagiarism might i'm
prove our literature. So far as the pub
lie is concerned, it is better for an author
to be plagiarist than to be dull"

Great Falls Leader: The write-up of
Great Falls in the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT,
seems to US good one. While there are
some minor points which might receive
criticism from pessimist, these are for the
most part rendered of small Importance
by the general excellence. 1t is as ex-
haustive and comprehensive as could we'll
be asked for in newspaper article. There
is very little to mislead and much to con
vince the reader. that Great Falls is thu
coming commercial and industrial city O.
the new state of Montana. In commend
ing this article We but render praise wher
praise is due.

THERE seems to DO somewhat preva-
lent idea that new issue of postage
stamps has the effect of rendering val
ueless all previous ones. The belief, of
course, is erroneous. There are only
two issues, those of 1s47 and 1851, that
are repudiated by the postoffice author
tiles, and these are actually worth more
than their face value in the eyes Of col
lectors. These two years are thus in
vidiously distinguished, because at the
outbreak of the war there were large
quantities of stamps of these two issues
in the possession Of postoffices in the
south, and the probabilities are that
they were promptly bounced upon and
that Uncle Sam never had the satisfac
ton of receiving for them any equiva,
lent in actual cash.
