THE DAYS. WILL.

The remark has been made at leas,
once before that truth is stranger than
fiction. The finding of the Davis will
confirms the fact. This will was execut.
ed in 1856, when Davis possessed only .
small share of the vast properly which he
afterward acquired.
Davis first provides in the will for his
natural son and daughter and theil
mother. He directs that they "shall have
the necessaries of life out of my estate
during their natural lite." He then
leaves the rest of his property to his
brother John A. Davis, his heirs or rs
signs. He appoints as executors James
Davis and Job Davis, both of whom with
j. G. Sconce sign the will as witnesses
1t is understood that both the executors
are dead but Sconce is still living and can
be produced.
There mey be a contest. The relatives
are numerous and the amount at stake
great. People will inquire why Davis
never spoke Of this will to his brother or
why he did not make another in later
years, considering that the executors
were dead and that his property had be-
come so much greater. 1t will be asked
why in late years he regarded will
making with superstitious dread and yet
had made a will when he was
much younger. These conjectures
are consistent with the validity
of the will, but the claimants may not
think so,

Appended is the item referred to which
is instructive and timely:
1.-THE Manufacturer says that at this
time it is interesting to know what the
currency of some of the leading nations
amounts to-. In the Bankers Magazine
we find an estimate which will certainly
command the attention of all who have
taken an interest in the question which is
profoundly agitating the whole country.
If this estimate be correct, and we have
no reason to doubt it, perhaps we have
the solution of the wonderful recuper,
alive power of France:

THE MKINLEY BILL.

The Pioneer Press and the Minneap-
oils journal continue to pour hot shot
into the Mckinley bill. The Pioneer
Press, a strong republican journal, be it
remembered, speaks thus of the bill:
sit is clear that, the longer the Mckinley
bill is before congress, the less it APP
peals to the conservative republicans of
the senate. 1t is even reasonably doubt
full whether. if the vote were to be taken
over again today, it could be passed IN
the house. There is every probability
that half a dozen or half Il score Of re.
publican representatives who have heard
from their districts, and learned that their
constituents care a good deal more about
lower axes than they do shout 10y
atty to certain gentlemen who have set
themselves up at Washington as the self
styled leaders Of the party and the only
authorized cansors of republican doc
trine, would be very glad to reverse the
record they have made. With every day
that passes, the Mckinley bill grows in
unpopularity; and it needs, WI are con
vinced, only sufficient consideration and
sufficient time to hear from the country
to make it sure that it will fall by ita own
weight
1t may he observed that the above
contains a keen thrust at "tbe self-styled
leaders of the party" meaning Reed, Nc
Kinley and the like.
The Minneapolis journal calls for a
tariff commission to frame a bill intelli-
gently. Such a commission did exist
under President Arthur's administration.
1t framed a far better bill than McKin-
ley's. We believe that many democrats
would favor a commission, established on
a liberal basis by according representa-.
ton thereon to tariff refrrmer+, lswell as
.eading merchants and manufacturers,
who would deal with the tariff solely
from a business point Of view.
We do not believe that the abandon
ment of the Mckinley bill will save the
republican party from the wrath to come
IN the fall elections. The country gave
the republicans control of the house in
order that taxation reduced by united
action on the part of both house and
senate. The party has proved false to its
pledges and must go under.

ENCOURAGE HOME SNELTERS,

The Review is of the opinion the great
body of ores furnished by our mines can
be reduced at home as cheaply as a. any
other place, when the expense of ship
ping is added to the cost of reduction and
that our shelters can afford to give just
AS much for ores as smelters elsewhere
will give. We advise our miners to give our
emelters the preference, that our own
State may receive the benefit of the ex-
penditure in reducing III ores, but if, af-
ter fair trial, our smelters cannot or will
not treat their ores as cheaply as others,
no one can blame them if they send'their
ore to the smelter that will return them
the most money for it.-Montana Mining
Record.
