Little Rhodv IEstrucis Her Delegates for
Him-The Platform.
PROVIDENCE, March 1.-The democrats of
Rhode Island met this morning for tho
nomination of state officers and tho selec-
ton Of delegates to the national oonven-
tion. Charles Il. German was elected tenn
porary chairman. In his speech he eulo-
giaed Cleveland's administration and his
remarks were greeted with loud applause
and a few misses. A resolution was pre-
senttd and reforred to, the platform COM
mittee inatructina the ~deiegates to tho ma
tional convention to vote for Cleveland. 1t
was received with great enthusiasm. Tho
platform reported to the convention de-
mEnds free raw materials; approves the
Springer wool bill and urges its early pas
on the + 90 list. Uponthe coinage question
it reads: Every dollar Of American
money, whether of gold. silver or paper.
ought to be equal the world over." lie
repeating of the Sherman coinage act is
favored because of its failure to accomplish
the results desired, and for like reason the
free coinage of silver il opposed except
upon an International agreement. The
platform closes with Mr.. Honey's resolu-
ton of inst uctions.

Charles L. German, of Providence, was

state. Other nominations: Ex-Attorney-

RALLY FOR FREE SILVER.

Public meetings should be called in every
city of Montana to the end that the peo-
pie OF both political parties can unite in
resolutions calling upon congress- to pass
the Bland bill.-Butte Inter Mountain.
That is the talk. Let us have more
OF 1T and let all the newspapers of Mon.
tana join in the grand fight for the bill,
the Helena Journal not excepted. a
public meeting should be held in this
city, speeches urging the untiring sup
port Of u representatives should be
made by our leading citizens, petitions
should be sent to Washington to aid the
bill. Montana, the greatest silver pro-
ducing district aver known, should raise
her voice loud and long for free coinage.
We believe the bill will be passed, but
no efforts should be spared by our citi-
zens who are SO vitality interested in tho
issue. 1t is a very simple proposition.
The Bland bill means free coinage Of
silver, which places the standard value
OF sl.2o On that commodity, and this
means that the mine owners OF Montana
will receive that price for their product
instead of 80 cents with the probability
Of a lower price. Is it not a measure
worthy Of the united efforts and enthus-
iastic support of all our citizens inter
ested in the welfare of this state? All
that can be done now is to make such
an endorsement as will command car
nest attention. The boards Of trade of
Helena and other cities should call
meetings, pass resolutions urging Il
representatives at Washington to work
night and day for the bill and prepare
petitions demanding the support and
endorsement Of congress and president
Harrison.
Politics out Of the question the Bland
bill is just what Montana has been ask
ing for these many years. tt is now in
a fair way to succeed but no bill in con.
gress is certain until it passes. OF all
in the union this state should be
most interested in the success of the
measure, and her citizens should do
their duty.

COLUMBIA FALLS, March. g. Special. =
The board Of trade with a member
ship of sixty has been put in running
order, and is making an active campaign.
The first move was the capture of the flour
ing mill that is to DO started by a party of
North Dakota millers who have been look
ing over the valley. Tn fact that this
city has the only natural water power in
the valley attracted them, and a 100 barrel
mill will be in operation by July /. The
fact that every other Town was after the
industry makes the victory greater.
News reached here to-day that the North
ern Pacific company had perfected plans
with the Northern Intcrnational Imr rove
ment company for the immediate constitute
ton of the branch from Jocko to this city
and to the coal mines Of the North Fork.
This line will give Helena, Butte and Ana
conda direct communication with the
FIathead valley. The coal has stood every
test to which it was submitted by the
smelter mon, and it is the only smelling
coal in the state. The road means much to
the two big cities of Montana.

Falls, has commenced the erection of an

Hills Trip South.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The indications
arc that Senator Hills trip to the south
will assume far greater proportions than
originally supposed by its promoters. In
vitstions from all parts of the south have
been coming in thick and fast. and the SEN
ator is considerably embarrassed in his de-
sire to respond favorab)y to all. He said
to an Associated press reporter this evening
that he would like to visit all points but
does not see how he can. He is engaged to
address the Mississippi legislature on the
10Th, md to speak on st. Patrick's day at
Savannah, Ga. HILLS southern friends in
congress-, however, believe he will change
his programme to include stops at all the
larger cities and the southern trip will be
made a series Of political ovations.

DISGRACE LEADS TO SUICIDE.

William M. Runk Shoots Himself AS
a esult of Speculation.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. civilian
NJ. Runk, Of the extensive dry goods firm
Of Darlington. Runk & Co., committed
suicide this morning at his country home at
st. Davids, near this city. He shot him.
self while in his stable. The reason az
signed is that he had recently become smit-
ten with mania for specializing in stocks
and had IN his partners absence
used the funds OF the firm for
that purpose to the amount of
$4,000. He had allowed bills to that
amount to accumulate against the firm,
although he had represented to his partner
that the bills had been paid When the dis
covery was made yesterday afternoon that
such was not the case Runk went directly
to his home, and last evening he wrote and
left on his library table letters to his wife
and business partner acquainting them with
the cause of his act.
Runk's personal estate is supposed 20 be
ample to cover all his losses, and the firm is
wealthy and could not be seriously embar-
raised by Runk's losses, but it seems proba-
bic that modification and remorse aotuated
him. He was 40 years old and had been in
the dry goods trade from boyhood. He was
a director OF the Penn Mutual Company Of
this city, and at the time of his death car
FRIED an insurance of 1925 900 upon his life.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
Fire Chief Campbell attributes the origin
OF the fire TO escaping gas, which iRnited
from lights left burning for the benefit of
the watqhman. There was a 3-inch gas pipe
and motor in the basement where the fire
started, and when the firemen arrived the
pipe was uncapped ana shooting volumes of
gas dozen feet away into the big volume
of flame Seventeen engines we're employed
on the fire.
