THE LATE FINANCIAL CRISIS.

The financial crisis of the last month
sure of securities from abroad thrown
upon the American market during the
spring and summer. The interests of
the financial world are so closely bound
together that the occurrence of a financial
disaster in any part is sooner or later felt
at the most distant points. When the
Argentine securities collapsed it was said
in New York that the disaster would be
felt in the United States. No money had
been invested in the South American Ell
dorado from this country. The English
capitalists alone would suffer, and they
were amply able to take care of them
selves. And for a long time 1T seemed as
if this opinion were sound. 1t has turned
out, however, that taking advantage of
this fancied financial security, foreign
capitalists who were caught in the Ar
gentine crisis were endeavoring to re-
lieve themselves without causing a crisis
in London. They were forced to fill
the gap caused by the deprecia-
ton of the South American secur-
tiles by disposing of good investments
In other directions. In order to save
their own market as much as possible
they sent over the bonds of railroads in
this country. Even this course was pur-
sued with moderation. The market here
was watched, and the sales were made as
far as possible or rising prices. The
tendency of Wall street to look for an
upward turn, indicated by the optimistic
views generally held by the financial pa
pers was taken full advantage of. 1t was
marvelled at from month to month that,
with every element pointing to continued
and increasing prosperity of the railroads,
stocks and bonds did not increase in
price. Even the much vaunted remedy
of the silver bill did not seem to produce
any effect. Good reason for all this is
now shown in the repeated influx of
American securities at any indications of
a firm market. The only wonder is that
the market sustained itself so long, and
that it recovered itself so quickly from
the effects of the final rush.

TT rs 4 QUESTION or PASSES.

Our esteemed evening contemporary
INDUCES in fulsome editorial praise of
the Northern Pacific railroad and insists
that it is the only line to travel over in
going to or from the east. What is the
matter with the Great Northern, anyhow?
This road is universally and d~eservedly
popular with the travelling public and its
passenger traffic is daily increasing. Be
sides it is a northern Montana railroad
and has done more to develop the re-
sources of this section than all other
agencies. Without the Great Northern
there would be no Great Falls today, or
at least it would be simply a stage station
instead of a leading industrial city with
5000 people. We believe in clinging to
home institutions and it is certainly very
bad policy to decry them. The Northern
Pacific is all right, and we hope 1T will
soon be laying its steel rails into Great
Falls, but it Is not the only railroad in
Montana by a large majority, nor should
it be the favored one for northern Mon
t~anians.
Can it be that the esteemed manager
of the Leader was refused a pass on his
recent trip east?

A DISPATCH from London states that
the drain of gold to the United States has
ceased, and that the shipments reach q
total of e940,00O, or $4,7OO,0OO. That is
very welcome help in time of trouble; bu,
it is less than the mount figured upon
here. A recent New York estimate puts
the gold engagements in Europe fol
American account at between $7,000,00C
and $~8,OO0,000. Supplies from the con
tjnent are, of course, included in this
estimate, but, unless they largely exceed
the amounts reported as coming from
France and Germany, they will not make
up the difference between the 81, 10000
sent from England and the total expected
here.

In an interview with bankers of Helena
the Independent elicted the following
from Mr.. l.. G. Phelps, cashier of the
Montana National, who is so we'll known
in Great Falls: "The market is considera-
bly, better than a few weeks ago though
the pressure is still felt. We are making
no loans outside of our town business
The stringency will doubtless be felt for
some time yet, but it will disappear with
the trivial of business in the spring. The
silver bill introduced by Colonel Sanders
is intended to relieve the money market IN
New York. 1t provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury may purchase all
silver bullion offered at a price not ex-
ceeding 81 for 371.25 grains. If this was
passed over $4,000, 900 of silver now in
New York would be purchased and the
notes put in circulation. Immediate and
permanent relief would her be experen-
ced"

HARRISON To RETIRE.

The following piece of interesting poll
tical news is contained IN a Washington
special to the Minneapolis Journal, which
is a republican paper: president Harri-
son has finally arrived at a decision
relative to his course in the next presi-
Dental contest. He will not be a candi-
date. This statement is authentic. Several
of his most intimate political friends and
advisers have been informed of his
decision within the last week. The pres
ent feeling throughout the country has
resulted in this determination. The
president has at last made up his mind
that his administration is unpopular. He
reserved his actual decision until he
found out just what effect his last mes
sage would have upon the country. The
verdict is apparently against HIM. He
will stand aside. And it goes without
saying that there ale many stalwart repub-
licans in the country who will be pleased
to learn that the present executive
will not prove a source of embarrassment
to them in the next presidential cam
paign. 1t may be added that some of
them will be much gratiied. One reason
for the presidents decision at this early
day Is that the senate is in such an unen-
viable position at the present time. The
republican side is in a chaotic state. The
close of the present session is pretty sure
to ONE without laws OF necessity to the
country. A grave blunder was made in
taking up the troublesome federal eiec-
ton bill at the opening of the short ses-
sion. 1t should have been left in a
%pigeonhole until the financial and other
important legislation was out of the way.
And there are many senators who see the
mistake that was made. With the cleo
tions bill out Of the way something tan
gible might have been done" This is an
interesting summing up of the political
situation and is certainly not very cheer
ing to our republican friends. If the re-
port Is true, President Harrison has come
to a sensible conclusion in determining to
stand aside. He has read Alright the
signs of the times and sees no hope of
republican success in 1872.

FEARS THE AEXT ADKINISTRA
TION.

A Washington special says: "The OBJ
ject of the visit of Counsel General Nc
Naught of the Northern Pacific, and of
others interested in that road, is to Sc
cure a settlement of the mineral lands
within its grant in Montana and Idaho,
1t is understood that Mcknight hopes to
have the matter settled if possible in this
congress and with this administration, as
when the matter comes up before another
congress there will be an entirely new
lot of people to whom the matter will
have to be explained, while there has
been enough discussion at the present
time to enable most of the members of
this congress to understand the question
and to act in%telllgently upon it,"
Col. Mcknight understands the situa-
ton thoroughly. The next aiministra-
tion will be democratic and the next con
gress, so far as the house is concerned,
overwhelmingly so, and he knows his
company will have little show after this
congress adjourns of gobbling up the
mineral lands of Montana and Idaho.
He proposes to make hay while the sun
shines.

SENATOR INGALLS, prospects for defeat
seem to increase daily Senator Rush, of
Larned, said recently that ingalls, would
not be1e-e!ected, and he would lose six
republican votes in the senate, leaving
him thirty-two senators and twenty-five
members of the house. 1t requires
eighty-three votes to elect. Rush, who
is a leading republican, declares he can
never get them. ga republican can be
elected senator" he said, "but to dot In
gals must step down and out at once. If
he don't he will wreck the republican
party OF Kansas"

ST. PAUL, Dec. 18.-A Pioneer Press
special from Fort Yates, N. D., says
Bullhead's body was buried at foul
o'clock with the same honors that were
given his dead comrades Wednesday
HIS widow stood with his father alG
brother at the head of the grave. Thi:
poor woman was at Canon Ball river on t
visit when she learned from a runner tina
her husband had been killed in arrestinp
Sitting Bull. She started at once on foot
to find him and walked eighty miles with
out rest, falling in a faint when admitted
to her husbands room, which she reached
before his death. More than forty of Sit
ting Bulls band have come in and re.
ported to the agent and are now in camp
close by. The rest are reported by cour
iers sent out by the agent to be south of
the reservation in the neighborhood of
the Moreau river. Sitting Bulls wives
and daughters are in their tepees at the
agency under the charge of policeman
Gray Eagle. Old Running Antelope and
One Bull, enthusiastic ghost dancers and
stanch friends of Sitting Bull, are here
and were present at Bullhead's funeral
They were not in the fight. 1t 10 looks

bred of the Seventeeth infantry from
Fort Russell, disembarked here and at
other points on the Elkhorn railway last
night, and took up their line of march
for Gen. Carr's camp at the junction OF
Rapid creek and Cheyenne rivers. Gen.
Miles has concentrated at that point
the Eighth and Sixth cavalry, Seventh
infantry, scouts and artillery, making a
fighting force of 1900 effective man
There is a large encampment of hostiles
in what is called Grass basin, in the Bad
Lands, at about TED miles southeast of
Carr's camp, from which thieving forages
have been made on ranches.
Gen. Miles is making dispositions to
guard every pass and outlet from the
camp, and has issued orders for cavalry
to scout and intercept Sitting Bulls fol-
lowers who arr supposed to be on the
road to join these h0stlles. ''en. Miles

and holding Indians in the basin or pocket

VICE PRESIDENT MORTON has refused
to follow in the footsteps of Reed. In
the senate a few days since, there was q
rising vote, and not enough members on
both sides responded to make a quorum.
Senator Sherman suggested that a quo
rum be counted" but this the Vice.
President refused to do, and ordered the
roll call. 1t was a just rebuke to the
intense partisan from Ohio.

NEARLY 1900 miles of railways are
under construction in France, Of which
about 500 miles are expected to be
opened in 1891. This is a good showing
for France, but it looks insignificant
compared with the construction record of
the United States and falls below that of
any n of a good many individual
states. i.

THE dignity of the United States sem
ate is to be lowered by the introduction
into that body of what may be properly
called Reedism. The cloture rule was
reported to that body yesterday and after
the holiday recess the gag will be applied
and an attempt made to force the pass
age of the elections bill. As several re-
publican senators are opposed to the
measure this programme may lot work
out as nicely as granny Hoar would like.

WITH all its imperfections and short
comings, we believe that in redeemed
and regenerated humanity, or, II other
words, in the members of the Christian
churches, lies the hope of the world. The
Christian church aims at r%egenerating
the character of man; and it is in this
change of human character that the only
hope of permanent improvementin mans
outward condition lies. Herein is the
key TO the whole situation.

IT is somewhat expensive to feed In
dians, yet it costs twice as much to fight
them. Recent semi-official computa-
tons show that the Indians have cost
the United States government since Its
establishment, in round numbers,
$10,000,O 900, 900. More than two-thirds
of this has been expended in the
Indian wars. 1t is cheaper to fur.
nish rations for a good many live In.
dams than to kill one. The last Indian
war was that with the A~paches, IN
which every savage killed or captured
cost the government 100000. The varl'
GUS wars with the Sioux have been long
severe and terribly expensive. In every
instance they have been melted by some
act of bad faith by government agents OF
provoked to benefit individuals or com.
munities.

THE weather bureau should not at
tempt predictions on Montana weather or
it will make some egregious blunders.
As an Illustration it predicted a severe
storm and extreme fall of temperature in
in this state and elsewhere throughout the
essary to say that on that date and since,
Montana weather has been delightful,
more like that of May than December.

AMONG the republican partisans in the
senate none rank higher than Spooner of
Wisconsin. HIS speech yesterday in
favor of the force bill was a model in its
way. 1t will be remembered that he
made the principal speech in favor of
the seating of Sanders and Power, the
fraudulent senators from Montana. AS a
partisan, Spooner will take easy rank be-
side Bill Chandler and old granny Hoar.

EVERY time Mr.. Grover Cleveland
writes Or speaks on the political situation
he has something interesting to say and
it is invariably said in the very best man
ner. His speech at the recent gathering
IN New York city to celebrate the dem
ocratic victories is model of terse Eng
lish and effective oratory. 1t should be
read by every democrat and republicans
would profit much by its perusal.

THE republican majority in the United
States senate hangs upon a slender thread.
After the 4th of March that party will
have the magnificent majority of one.
Twenty of the states represented by re-
publicans are democratic and in the con-
tlngency of a death on that side OF the
senate, that body would be democratic.

PRoF. STUART of the Sydney university
who was sent by that institution to Der.
lin to study the Koch treatment, has made
a report of his experience. In it he says
that after studying hundreds of cases, he
has arrived at the conclusion that the
precise value of the Koch remedy cannot
as yet be fixed. In advanced cases of
consumption, he says, injection of the
lymph has proved positively injurious,
but in the earlier stages of the disease the
use of the lymph has apparently a bene-
fetal effect.
