TIME TO CHOOSE DELEGArEs.

Some time ago when the INDEPEND-
ENT suggested the appointment Of dele
gates to the coming national silver con-
gress at Washington the esteemed Jour
nal thought it had found & deep laid po-
litical plot. The contemporary having
been requested to suggest a plan for
choosing delegates and no response hay
ing been received, we direct the atten-
tion of those interested in silver to the
subject. -E"
The congress which will be the larg-
est, most representative and most i'm
portant gathering of the kind ever held,
will meet in Washington next week.
Montana OF all states should have a
large and intellectual representation
and yet no efforts have been made to
cur this. It is getting very late and
unless some decision is reached very
soon Montana will not be represented
at o gathering in which she ought to be
greatly interested, Possibly the neglect
results from a feeling that what is every
body's business is no body's business.
That this indifference may not be- detri-
mental to the state we suggest that the
public spirited citizens of the city or
the board of trade ask Governor Toole
to name delegates to the conventions; il
this suggestion does not meet with favor
let the board OF trade or the Silver club
choose the delegation. II there are
other suggestions we would be glad &c
hear them, only let the delegation be
chosen and chosen at once.
Perhaps the importance OF the com
ing congress is not fully appreciated;
but certainly the fate Of the Bland bill
should be evidence that free coinage il
to be won only after hard work. The
friends OF silver who will meet in Wash.
ington next week propose to organize {
campaign of methods, and the people ol
Montana should be in the hearties1

THE Livingston Herald complains that
while not a single citizen Of that town
lives in a $4,000 residence the com
munity is taxed to build a poor house
costing more than that sum-, There is
nothing homogeneous about that. Pub
lie institutions in every city average
better than private residences. Not
mor than three or four houses in Hell
ena cost more than our beautiful county
Jail, and in eastern cities there are or
phan asylums and poor houses that cost
more than the residences Of millionaires.

growth in wealth and population pow
erty will also increase and she will have
sad need Of her handsome poor house.

NEWSPAPER claims as to circulation

NEWSPAPER claims as to circulation
based On the number Of papers printed
but unsold by newsmen, or given away,
are fictitious and misleading, and
amount to nothing. The newspaper
affidavit maker is likewise a fraud and
nuisance. II all the newspapers in
Montana would do as the INDEPENDENT
does, throw open their subscription
books to the public and have no press
room secrets, there would be an end to
lying and silly boasts. There is nc rea-
son why a newspaper should not deal il
absolute good faith with the public.
That is what the INDEPENDENT docs,
and it is one OF the reasons why it has
double the paid subscription list Of any
in the state.
