bad attaches in his administration.
SENATOR HESEEssY, of Silver Bow: 81
never had any idea that Cleveland was for
free silver coinage. He is a man OF such
pronounced convictions that / did not look
for him to change them for the benefit o,
his party. It does not look nov as if he
would get any delegates from this ~state.''
SENATOR HOFFMAN, of Gallatiu: II an

the subject now. Still a great many things
may happen between this and 1882. We

Therefore he had no occasion to change hts
mind. "We don't want any man in this
section who is not a silver man." he said.
SENATOR GIBSON, of Cascade. had not read
the letter of ex- President Cleveland and
was somewhat chary about expressing an

THE FIGHT FOR PURE OILS
What the Newspapers Have to Say On tn
Question of Inspection.

the Newspapers Have to Say on the
Question of Inspection.
BOULDER AGE: The Great Falls Tribune
seems to oppose the proposition of an
inspector of oils because there will be some
expense attached. OF course the inspection
will cost money, which the users Of oil will
undoubtedly have to pay, directly OF in
directly. but for every one cent of cost they
will get back a hundred cents in the i'm
proved quality of oil, besides saving the
loss incurred at present By explosions due
to the dangerous oils sold in Montana. The
Tribune advocates simply Il law making it
an offense punishable by fine to sell coal
oil below proof. This would place the
burden of investigation and prosecution
practically upon individuals. and thu
Tribune has enough worldly experience to
know that under such circumstances tine
law would not be enforced.
PuLrpsBURG MAIL: The College of Mon.
tana can be thanked for the interest being
displayed all over the state relative to the
passage of some law to prohibit the impor-
tarion and sale of impure kerosene oils II
| Montana. It is a we'll known fact that tn,
oils brought into our new state are no
nearly as pure as those supplied in the mar
kets of our ~neighbors, where they hav'
laws governing the matter and a penalt,
attached for their violation. 1t is natura
that inferior stud should be worked off OF
our merchants and people when there is NJ
law to prevent it and no danger of having
| fine to pay. As Il consequence OF the in
y~estipations of Prof. T~raphagen, of thu
College of Montana, the state press haI
taken hold of the matter with a will, ant
steps are being taken to pess a law restrict
ing the sale of oils below a certain stand
ard. both as to explosive properties snt
lighting power.

SCHOOL CENSUS FIGURES.

Matters educational are the subject
Of one OF the preliminary reports just
issued by the CENSUS bureau. The re-
turns from the whole country are, Of
course, not yet complete, but there is
valuable and interesting information TO
be Cleaned from this instaIment, which
concerns the schools Of Louisiana, Wis
consin and New Hampshire. SO far as
we can gather, the iiata which the
bureau has secured for the compilation
81 its educational statistics, have been
derived from two SOURCES. The enumer-
ators have done a large part Of the work
1T the homes Of the pupils, and the in
formation thus gained has been cOnsid
erably supplemented by the reports Of
school officers.
Interest in education is growing in
Louisiana, and the coiored people must
be shrewdly awake 10 II 0, the fore
most needs Of their children. While.
within the last ten years, the popula-
ton has increased by 10 per cent, the
advance in school enrolment has risen
by leaps and bounds to J352 per cent
or 124,31O pupils reported in June
1883 were white, and 1882 coIored
Private schools were providing for 1859,
scholars, and forty-eight parochiaI in.
stitutions had an attendance of IA:
pupils.
New Hampshire's total population hal
increased S.53 per cent. since 1850. Within
the same period, school enrolment hai
fallen off T.5I. Private schools cater fol
1903 pupils, while 1910 attend parochia
schools. In Wisconsin, again, there il

REGARDING Congressman Carter's
declaration that a bill "for free American
silver would be readily passed in either
house, and OF course the president would
cheerfully sign it," the Salt Lake
Tribune says:
There seems to be a difference OF
opinion between Mr.. Carter and Mr..
Stewart. Senator Stewart said distinct
ly that no proposed an amendment and
that the democrats, who had all favored
unlimited free coinage, nearly all refused
to support the measure. Still we hope
Mr.. Carter is right, and that the final
settlement OF the question in this
congress will be the passage OF the bill
giving free coinage to all silver produced
from the mines OF the United States.
That would be the sensible and just
thing to do, and that. We believe, would
permanently settle the silver business
within thirty days after it became a law"

As a citizen, Ex-president Cleveland
has the same right as anybody else to
his opinions or public matters. Still, it
might have been better if he had not
developed an unexpected capacity for
the assimilation of a largely increased
volume Of transformation on the subject
OF silver. or if, having done SO, he had
allowed it to repose in innocuous desue-
tude until some one had demonstrated
the uselessness OF talking when there il
no bowling necessity for it.

SATURDAY. March IA
Although tho stock market has been dull.
and upon the surface entirely professional.
this week 1t presents ono feature which. In the
circumstances. deserves serious considera-
tion. namely. its strength in the face Of fresh
financial uneasinsss In Europe. Tho embsr-
rasment OF the societe des Depots OF ComptAs
Courantss. which. had 1t occurred . few
months ago. would have precpitated decline
in prices here. simply held the market in
check for q day. All Of tho information
from abroad is that both London and
Paris. particularly the hrst. are unhappy
under tho burden OF their South
American Investments The load has bsen
distributed through tho medium OF guarantee
syndicates. but the enormous losses. which is
now seen are inevitable. have not yet been
tho liquidation In Argentine securities. and
the operation will OF course be attended BY In
cdents OF disturbing character. For exam
pie. very few people In Europe. and probably
none in this country. suspected that Paris had
taken so deep an interest in Argentine
finances as tie embarrassment OF the
Societ6 dos Dep6ts ct Complies Cour-
antes betrayed. Another untoward incident
is tho decision OF the syndicate formed to take
over and liouidate the assets OF Murietta &
Co.. declining to enter upon the transaction.
The logical inference from this piece Of news.
which came to hand TO-DAY. is that the condi-
ton OF the flrm Is 90 bad that efforts to save It
are useless. Liquidation will bs hastsned by
the immediate mark citing OF the assets Of the
concern. but IL Is to bs hoped that the
event will not precipitate liquidation in
other quarters 1t II unlikely that these
developments. and others OF simi-
lar character that may follow. will
