The people of Montana believe in
reciprocity and accordingly propose
to buy their flour elsewhere than in
North Dakota if our congressional
representatives are not friendly to-
wards silver coinage. Montana is
certainly large consumer of flour
and the freight rates permit thu IS
trade. There is strong sentiment t
in every Montana town to protect
their own enterprises, and the milling
interests Of North Dakota are GER
tainly dependent to a great extent on
the western market. The plan,
therefore, of the Montana people is
more than of passing significance be-
cause these western hustlers are in
the fight for their lives and they mean
pretty generally what they say.
The impression prevails in Mon
tana that both the senator's and the
Congressman in North Dakota are
opposed to further output of silver
money. AS far as Senator Hans
brough is concerned, this supposi-
ton is not true. He is bimetalist
and doubtless will be found voting
for the best measure practicable to
put silver again on its feet. 1t is also
believed that Senator Roach, while
at present in favor of repeating the
Sherman law, is really friendly to sill
yer, as his subsequent votes viii
show.
The congressman, however, is
plainly opposed to any further coin
age of silver in the United States
except as subsidiary coin. His fin
ancial views are we'll known and they
are directly opposed to the policy
that will reopen the western mines
and provide western market for
the flour product of North Dakota.
If the people of North Dakota
were wise there would be but one
voice in this matter and it would be
a strong and powerful voice demand
ing that silver be again coined as a
money of the people-both the
farmer and the miner. North Da-
kota wheat at forty'ive cents per
bushel, less than the cost Of produc-
ing it, is as much a menace to the
prosperity of this state as is Mon
tana's silver product sunk below the

Senator Hansbrough is the reci-
pient of a rich roast from two or
three state papers On his stand on
the silver question. Mr.. Haasbrough
Is in favor of the free coinage ofboth
gold ami silver, and we think he is
more in touch with the people OF
this state than those fellows who are
bowling for single gold standard.
There were about thirteen million
votes cast for president at the last
election, and it is said that eight mil
lion of these favored free coinage.
Democrats, independents and prohi-
bitionists declared in their platforms
for tree coinage, and the republicans
practically declared the same.

IN MEMORIAM.

| D!ed-August 99th 1898, from st omach
trouble and paralysis, Martha, the beloved
| wife of J. Ii. VanVoorhts, aged 50 years and
3days.
Weary and worn with long and pain
fu' battling with disease, the common
foe of mankind, Mrs. Martha Van
Voorhis ''fell asleep" Tuesday at mid
day IN her home west of town. For a
number of days she had been uncon.
scious, and, apparently, making her
way slowly, but surely, through the
"Shadow of the Valley of Death"
When at length the end came the spirit
stole out of its clay house rs silently
As Il mother from her babes crib when
he falls asleep. Mrs. VanVoorhis had
been suffering from Il complication Of
troubles since last spring, and especl-
ally from stomach difficulty which
has oeen before source of perplexity.
Some two months and half ago she
met with Il stroke of paralysis which
affected her entire left side. 1t was
thought then that she would not live
but few days, but she has fingered
along all these weeks Il great trial to
herself and those about her.
Mrs VanVoorhis was born in Ale.
gheny county, Pennsylvania, tifty-nine
years ago last Saturday For the past
eleven years she has lived in North Da.
kota. She came into this state, to-.
gether with her family, from Colorado
and was we'll established in pleasant
home when this last sickness came up.
OH her. When young woman she
confessed her faith in Christ and at the
time of her death was a member in the
Congregational church of this city
Mrs VanVoorhis and her husband have
always been highly esteemed by the
community which is panied to hear of
her death. She leaves, together with
her husband, four children, two mar.
ried daughters, Mrs. }. A. Loughry, OF
Indiana, Pa, and Mrs. A. b. Cox, OF
Sanborn, and an unmarried son and
daughter at home. Mrs. McCord, q
sister from Janesvill' ), Ohio, was with
her when she died having come here 6
short time ago.
The funeral was conducted by tho
Rev. q. P. Champlin from her late re
sidence on Thursday afternoon, and
the remains were inferred in the Coop
erstown cemetery. The family has tn
sympathy of the entire community
The family can truly say:
1--WE have no thought of her rs dead;-
Some morn will break with heavenly
charms,
When we that holy land shall tread,
And fold our loved one in our arms!

The Wilson bill to repeal the pur-
"chase clause of the Sherman law has
passed the lower house OF congress,
by vote of 239 to no. This is a
larger majority than was expected.
1t certainly must have great weigh:
with the senate, and if that talking
concern will now do something in
stead Of talk the country will feel
better. The senators have had sew
,eral months in which to discuss this
question and ought to know how to
vote by this time without taking up
any more time and keeping the coun-
try in suspense.

Waiting fol. the Verdict

Waiting fol: the Verdict.
Is the title OF a popular novel, and may
be interesting to read of, but is very
unpleasant in practice. The Judge and
court officers get weary waiting for the
jury to come in, but the strain comes
hardest on the prisoner at the bar, on
trial, it may be, for his life. Whether
he shall be free, suffer long term in
prison walls or take leap into the
great unknown depends on the verdict,
and he waits for it in such alternate
hope and fear as cannot be described
The Burlington Route has long since
passed the point of waiting for the ver-
dict-tlat has been rendered by the
public, and is to the effect that it has
the smoothest track, the finest equip.

the treasury vaults in circulation.
What is the trouble now? Scarcity
of currency, and yet the government
keeps on issuing treasury notes that
can be locked up in safety vaults by
timid people. would not issue a
single note, but would pay all ma
tional debts in silver and in that way
bring the stringency to a sudden ter
mination.
"Silver cannot be boarded. 1t is
too bulky. Gold and notes can, and
