A NEW CITY CHARTER.

The Board of Trade Authorizes tho Nam
ing of n Committee.
When the silver question was disposed Of
by the board of trade. the question of a
new city charter for Helena was brought up.
It was stated that the matter had been dis
cussed in the city council of appointing a
committee consisting of aldermen and
members of the board of trade to prepare a
charter. The impression seemed to prevail
that Mayor Bradford wanted to name the
members on the part of the board of trade.
To Offset any such action Fl. NJ. Parchen
moved that President Hotter name the
committee and present the names 70 the
mayor, This was tiaally agreed to. with
the understanding that If the city council
took no action tho board of trade committee
should 20 ahead with the proposition of q
charter on its own account. Joe Davis
thought the best results could be obtained,
not from numerous committee. but by
employing competent attorney. In an
swer to this 1t was stated that the presen.
charter had been prepared by the best law
yers in Helena.

General News.

Z The Major Budd directors did not hold a
meeting yesterday as was expected, but
Secretary Sam Echwab says the trustees
will carry out the resolution as passed at
the last meeting, and there is no doubt but
that the property will be in the hands of
those that paid their assessments and the
mine will be worked again as soon as every
thing is arranged.
In the collection of the assessment the re-
suit has exceeded expectations. The score
tary yesterday received the statement of the
Montana National bank of the amount paid
in up to the 18th inst. 1t was as follows:
From ST. Louis on IS. 265 shares ....,.. s5.775 90
From Nj rana on 1853 $40 shares. 9.211 IA
Total On 2i9784 shares .......... $14,9s7 o.

In view of the fact that there are still
1b,375 shares of stock to be heard from it
is evident that the company will not only
!lquldate its indebtedness, but that it will
have good treasury fund left. Some of
the largest stockholders are yet to te heard
from. These include Mr.. D. j. WEIGH who
owns about 600 shares, and he has ex-
pressed his Willingness to meet the assess
ment. Jos. j. Mullaiy. of st. Louis, has
already sent in over $1,000 and the ASSESS

If the stockholders should all respond to
the above call or request, then the property
will be redeemed for the benefit of all the
stockholders, but if any portion of them
should fail to respond to this call, then the
time of redemption will be allowed to lapse
without redeeming, and arrangements will
be made with the purchaser, the Montana
National Bank by which the company will
be reorganiZed and said property conveyed
to the new company, and in this reorgani-
zation all stockholders who contribute I'M
der the above call their respective shares

ness and saving The property of the company,
will be allowed to share in the new COM
pany in proportion to the sums which they

ton was to give each and every stockholder
a chance to contribute his share to the saw

participate according to his holdings, In the

THE TRUE REASON.

The OregOniaa, in Its opposition to the
free coinage of silver says:
Some years ago silver coin was abun-
dant 10 excess on this coast, and l; swindled
all workingmen and small dealers to the
amount of FIVE per cent. In the course OF
business they took in silver, but when
they came to goods, settle their rents, ETC.,
they were Obliged TO buy gold at I've per
sent. premium. Many a workingman,
many a small deale- in Portland in those
days, was compelled 10 paw S2I In silver
for every twenty dollar GOLD piece that the
landlord or the wholesale dealer exacted.
What demagogues call "the poor mans
money" can always be depended on for
effects of this kind"
The true cause Of the depreciation of
silver at the time referred to by the Oyeg0-
Sfaa is found In the fact that in 1878 by
some species Of elandestine "Iegislation''
silver was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Is, II, was
stripped of Its legal tender attribute. This
Just what caused silver to go at a dis
count. In 1873, during the tendency of

now that the passage of the bill would
drive all the gold out of the country, silver
would be the only money that We could
keep, financial panics, destructive of the
business interests of the country would
follow thick and fas., in word the same
cry of alarm was raised then as now by
the gold bugs, but the democrats In con-
gress steadily pushed the bill until 1t final
ly passed And what has been the resnlt?
Simply this. Silver soon resumed its
place along of and the equal of gold, green.
backs and national bank notes, and ever
since that time It has gone rapidly at par,
and to-day veiy few men make any choice,
except from present convenience, as be-
