Under the above caption the Montana
Mining Review takes the Inter Mountain
to task for announcing the opening of
the republican campaign in Ohio under
the head lines: "Major Mckinley speaks
for American Labor and an honest dol
lar" The Review says that sin that
speech Mckinley takes ground against
the free coinage of silver, and having no
free coinage of the silver dollar unless
silver bullion is worth as much as gold
bullion, sixteen to one" 1t then reads
the Inter Mountain lecture for going
back on the metal after all the brave
words it has uttered and then asks if it
''intends to go over to the enemy, if its
party should join them"
The Review has not closely watched
the turnings and twistings of the repub-
lican press of the state, lately, upon the
coinage of silver or it would have spared
itself the trouble of it's lecture. 1t
would have noticed that the republican
papers of Montana are preparing to
make grand flop on the silver question
if it be found necessary to dc
so to keep in accord with its
party in the east. If Mckinley be
elected the present republican policy OF
retaining silver among the merchantable
commodities of the world, and of sus
pending the coinage of the silver dollar
will be continued and emphasized in the
party's national platform next year. lr
that event the republican newspapers oI
this state have but two courses open tC
them. One is to repudiate the anti-sil
yer plank in the platform and thus throw
themselves outside their party and fight
it on the silver question. The other il
to endorse it and thus keep in line with
the gold bugs. They will not adopt the
former course. They will make the best
of the situation, endorse the anti-fret
coinage plank and swear democrats are
insincere, and that their party is doing
more for the metal under the present
law than the democrats would if they
were in power. The Inter Mountain il
not the only republican she,. in the
state which is preparing to flop.

In speaking of trusts the Boston Ad-

better than the Farmers Wheat trust.
The farmers will show wisdom by letting
all such schemes severely alone, both be-
cause the righteous protest which they
make against monopolies and combina-
tions from which they SO grievously suf-
fer must appear ridiculous if the prot
estants themselves undertake to do the
thing they denounce, and because any
such attempts on their part never can
succeed in the nature of the case. Sue
cessful combinations are possible only
when the number of persons in the "com-
bine" is strictly limited or the product
admits of being limited at the will OF one
or two dictators."

The statement of the Drovers' Jour
nal that during the months of July and
August western range cattlemen mar
keted SS,4OO beeves, as against 10000
during the same time last year, is full of
significance. When it is considered that
the season of large shipments of cattle is
yet to come; that good beeves have
found ready market, and that the
prices paid are in excess of those of last
year, the questions occur: To what ex-
tent can western ranges stand the drain
and where are the cattle to come from
for next years business9 Stockmen
may be able to answer, but laymen and

The Treasury and Busioess


The charge that the democratic press
is ''misrepresenting" the condition of the
treasury will not stand. As the st. Louis
Republic maintains the democratic press
has kept in line with the facts, which are
so striking as TO hardly admit of exagger-
alton.
There is nothing CON p!icated about the
condition of the treasury. AT the end
of the year 1855 there was surplus of
S119, O00 600 in the treasury, and under
the democratic policy of keeping outgo
smaller than income it was steadily in
creasiug. Every dollar of it has been
spent by the republican party and in
addition it has spent special trust fund
of $54. 100000. which is now chargeable
against the general funds Of the treas
ury. And at the same time it has squsn-
dered an annual income of S400, coo 900
year.
This is absolutely all. 1t is very
simple story in its broad outlines-the
annual income squandered; the demo-
cratic savings wasted, and the Nation al
Bank Note redemption fund thrown
away-lesving nothing The treasury
is now empty except for what comes in
and goes out-from day to day, while the
rate of expenditure is maintained at the
pitch set for getting rid of the surplus.
This condition Ct affairs naturally sf
fects government credit to some extent
but that is only temporary, IS the repub-
lican control of the government is only
temporary. But this policy he's very
serious effect on business. When over
S400, 100000 q year, cash, must 60 to
Washington, we are never safe from such
"siringencies" as we had last year. When
our crops are being handled the money
must come largely from New York. Last
year the remnants of the surplus were
poured into New York in bonuses and
advance interest on bonds. This year
the treasury is so exhausted that the Sec
rotary has already been negotiating for
the extension Of the $4,000 QUO or so cf
bonds falling due in SEPTEMBER mere
dribble of debt that this goverDme nj
ought to be able to pay on two minutes
notice
While the revenues from taxation are
40 large as to disturb trade by taking over
a fourth Of the total circulating cash from
trade, expenses have been so inflated in,
less than three years Of repu5icanism
that there is already republican demand
for larger revenues. And this when the
Mckinley bill, raising the tax rate at
least 10 per cent on the entire dutiable
list, promises to yield an increasing reve-
nue. only to outside monopoly. With
trade and labor so burdened. the situation
is one which compels attention.

To Do Up Thin Draperies,

The art muslins and thin silks used in
getting up pretty rooms nowadays have
fashion OF losing their freshness very cas-
lily. A lady far removed from professional
cleaners experimental with some muslins
to see whether they might be washed or
not, and found that some of the reds, yell
lows and terra cottas did fairly well She
says: If any one likes to try they should
make soapy lather with hot water, when
iukewarm thoroughly wash and shake the
muslin in it. Rinse it quickly in clean
water with little salt in it; then roll in Il
large soft towel and squeeze out the water.
Have some irons ready, iron out the mate
rial at once while wet on the wrong side,
and hang it when done near the fire to COM
plete drying. The muslin will then be
slightly stiffened, but not too much. This
applies to the patterned art muslins, not
the cheap whole colored ones.

DECORATIVE NOTES.
How to Make Charming Frames for
Etchings and Other Useful Hints.

Etchings and Other Useful Hints.
With China silk in pale pink, blue, cream
or other delicate tint, very pretty frame
Tor small engravings or etchings can be
made. The foundation of the frame may
be HAT, thin wood or heavy pasteboard
over which the silk is stretched. Gut the
silk in lengthwise strips and lay them fat
on the frame, but make full puff in each
corner where the strips join.
An exceedingly attractive teacloth has a
decoration of violets embroidered in the
natural color and looking as if they had
been scattered carelessly over the white
cloth.
Large cushions are well liked, and an
unused bed pillow of medium size can be
converted into a handsome sofa cushion by
making for it crazy patchwork cover
deliberately worked over in fancy stitches
A favorite fashion is to throw a large
square or length of any brocaded material
over couches, chairs and plain cushions.
These squares make pretty presents for
baoies. They are edged with lace and in
tended to throw over the child when asleep
in bed.
Qae Of the best of sponge bags is OF
butchers linen, embroidered in linen floss
orwash silk. IL is lined with rubber sheet
ing and gathered up on draw string
Colors are much used in embroidery on
white linen and give a rich appearance,
but too much diversity of this kind causes
muddled, unpleasant look, and it is a re-
lief to turn to teacloths, etc, worked with
a simple outline pattern in one color only
In this case the design may be allowed to
extend almost over the cloth. One of the
easiest and best forms of outlining con-
sists simply of backstitch. This is an old
stitch revived, but few equal it in delicacy
and effectiveness

A Rich Lemonade.

The Confectioners Journal is authority
for the following: Peel off the yellow rinds
from one dozen bright, fresh lemons, taking
care that none of the rind is detached but
the yellow zest-that portion in which the
cells are placed containing the essential oil
of the fruit. Put these rinds into an earth
ern vessel and pour over them one pint of
boiling water, cover and set aside in a warm
situation to infuse Express the juice from
two dozen lemons; strain it into a porce-
lain howl and add two pounds of fine white
sugar, three quarts of water and the infu-
sion from the peels. Stir all well together
until the sugar is dissolved; now sample,
and if required, add more acid or more
sugar, take care not to have it too watery:
make it rich with plenty of fruit and sugar

IN any color If the body of the curtain is

The Decorator and Furnisher from which
the illustration and its description are re-
produced. If brown denim is desired, the
band could be worked on the darker side
of the denim and the flowers in yellow.
The ribbon then used would look well in
yellow cigar ribbon for the festoons at the
top and along the edges of the band, but
that IN the band would still need to be of
the heavier kind unless fixed on with
gold cord on each side, which would have
