THE EK.
THE PARTY OF SILVER,

Those democrats who talk of voting
for Weaver because the democrats have
not succeeded in getting all the members
OF their party in congress, on the first
attempt, to vote for free coinage, pro
pose to do a very foolish thing. In the
irst place, Gen. Weaver has never shown
himself to be a true friend Of our silver
interests. He has been a free coinage
man only since he saw that there was a
large body Of people who demanded it.
Naturally and instinctively he is a
~greenbacker, a fiat money man. In 1876
he was an ardent supporter of Peter
Cooper for president as the national
candidate. The platform of the green
hackers that year was hostile to the
silver interest. One plank in it declared:
1--WE further protest against the sale of
government bonds for the purpose of
purchasing silver to be used as a sub
stitute for our more convenient and less
fiuctuating fractional currency, which.
although we'll calculated to enrich own
ers OF silver mines, yet in operation will
still further Cypress in taxation an
already overburdened people" Mr..
Weaver has fought along that line ever
since. He is an unlimited greenbacker.
He talks free silver now. but were he
elected president he would endeavor to
bring the country around to a policy
that would utterly annihilate our silver
industry. But even we're he a true
friend of silver, he would be powerless
unless the democratic party supported
him.
Free coinage will never come until the
democratic party gives it to the country,
1t is going to give it to the country.
The fact that a handful Of democrats
in congress voted against it
slgnifies nothing. 1t was only a few
years ago that a small group
of democrats in the house of representa-
tives combined with the republicans
and defeated a democratic majority in
its efforts to pass the Morrison tariff
bill. Did the friends of tariff reform
leave the party and go over to the enemy
because they did not accomplish their
hearts desire on the first vote? Not a
bit OF it. They picked their flint and
tried it again. Randall, Converse and
other democratic protectionists were
~overpowered and tie Mills bill passed the
house of representatives. So it will be
with the silver question. The friends
OF free coinage in the democratic party
will increase in numbers until thew are
able to sweep everything before them.
1t is impossible to secure the results we
all so much desire, except through the
party that has given the votes of a large
majority of its members for the cause.
Let those democrats who sincerely de-
sire to see silver remonetized and oc-
cupy its proper place as a circulating
medium, hesitate before they desert the
only great party to-day that faces il
the right direction.
We can see why republicans who

cal colleges. and who, up to three years ago,
resided in st. Louis, is now in st. Peters
burg, Russia, q medical "phenom." DR..
Lee is just % years old. but he has created
quite a sensation in medical circles in Rus
STA, because of the great success he has met
with in the cure of cholera patients, by his
own method and discovery. He has been
IN Russia during the past year, and has de-
voted all of his time to the study of bacilli
and the medicinal agencies of destruction
thereof. He has been paid a very high
tribute for his wonderful success in the
treatment of cholera. He has handled
hundreds of cases without a single death,
and all these cases he has handled have
been those given up by other physicians,
Under the date line of Sept. 7 he
wrote q letter to Manager Rood, Of the
Wells-Fargo Express company. which was
received this morning. In this letter DR..
Lee refers modestly to his successful treat
ment OF cholera in advanced stages, and
stated that he was just then awaiting the
return Of the czar to st. Petersburg in Or
der to obtain an audience with him on the
subject OF cholera treatment. He stated
that he intended to ask a trial of his treat
ment on IOO cases OF cholera in its incipi-
ENJOY. Since the mailing of this letter,
however, the eastern press has received au-
thentic commentator of DR.. Lees treat
ment. The young physician said in con

The Manufacture of wild Men.

There are many curious trades in the
would. but the most strange must surely be
the artificial manufacture of wild men,"
Yet q we'll known English doctor in China
has just certified from his own personal ex-
perience that this art is regularly practical
in the iowerv kingdom. First a youth is
kidnapped. then bit by bit he is fayed
alive and the skin of a dog or a bear ia
grated piece by piece upon him. His vocal
cords are next destroyed by the action of
charcoal to make him dumb, and the dou-
BILE purpose of causing 'etiolation" of the
skin and utter degradation of the mental
fscn ties is effected by keeping him i'm
INJURED in a perfectly black hole for a num-
Der of years. In fact, by t,eating him like
a brute for a sufficiently long time he ia
made into one. At last he is exhibited to
the entirely oredulous Chinese as a wild
man OF the woods, and his possessors reap
a rich harvest. The priests. it seems. are
adopts at the art. When a kidnapper.
however. is caught by the people he is torn
to pieces, and whom the authorities get him
they torture him and promptly behead him,

STATE pride will cause Carter to pour
a great deal of money into Montana.
Our democratic friends should not lose
sight of this fact. While it is true the
republicans here are demoralized and
discouraged, it is also true that they are
banking on substantial aid from their
national committee. They can be beaten
by thorough organization, watchfulness
and hard work on the part of the demo-
Gratis. But every democrat who desires
the success of the national, state and
local tickets must work increasingly from
now until election day. Carter's money
cannot carry the republicans through If
democrats do their duty.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS ?

cessful IN the quest, Why should it be
carried off to Anaconda, q one-industry
town on the southern edge Of the state,
a point not on any railroad line? Why
should it go to Bohemian, which cannot
be reached by the people of northern
Montana unless they stay over night in

it go TO Great Falls, which would place
the people Of southern Montana in tho
same fix? Isn't it common sense to have
the capital at the point at which the

town, or a one railroad town. Nor is it

ties. that it is the only city within the

Col. SANDERS will speak at the Au-
ditorium tonight. He doubtless will
have a representative Helena audience
out TO hear him, and we trust he will
take the opportunity to tell our people
why he deemed it best to have work on
the military post delayed until next
year. He is a good politician and must
see that his seeming opposition to this
measure, which would give employment
to labor, a market for the products of the
ranches, and general prosperity to our
people, will prove fatal to his own DO
lltlcal prospects as we'll as to those of
his brother who is a candidate for
sheriff. We trust he will take occasion
tonight to clear himself of this charge
OF being untrue to his own people. He
has enough political sins to answer for
without being accused of the basest in
gratitude and treachery to the citizens
Helena. By all means let the colonel
explain it all.

The excellent legislative and county
tickets of the democrats in Lewis and
Clarke are gaining in strength daily.
Party ties sit loosely this year and the
people are picking out the best men for
Office. No voter, looking the ticket
through impartially, can fail to see how
much superior the democratic no1nina-
tions are to those of the other parties.
The reasons for frequent changes in
county offices, in order to secure the
most careful and prudent a~dministra-
tion of affairs, are too apparent to the
intelligent voter to need elaboration.
The advantage to every interest of the
county from having in the legislature
such able lawyers as Smith and Bach
and Comfy, business men of the stand
ing OF Davidson and Dudley, a prau-
teal miner like Murphy, of Rimini, a
representative of the workingmen like
Engineer Brown, a practical farmer
like Lidolph, need not be dwelt upon.
The tickets are in every way admirable
and commend themselves to the conf
dence and support Of this community.
