A GOOD BILL.
Malad Enterprise,

A bill has becL introduced in the
Legislature, and We think, passed the
lower House, providing that State
and county monies shall be deposited
in such bank as will furnish sufficient
bonds for the safe keeping Of such
monies and pay the greatest ratio Of
interest on daily balances. That is !
good bill and it should pass without
any objection. The Legislator who
will oppose that kind Of measure il
either mentally disqualified from act
ing in Legislative capacity or radi-
caIly dishonest. We challenge any
man to produce single substantial
argument against the bill. 1t cannot
he done. There may be some infln-
ence brought to bear in opposition to
this measure, but we hope, and We
believe, there is sufficient moral force
sufficient integrity and intelligence
in the present Legislature to over
come any corrupt influence whiof
may undertake to defeat the best in
terests of the people Of the State
II is fact we'll known and not, w
take it, in the least reprehensible
that banks do pay interest on depos
its of public monies and it is equally
we'll known that the profit does no
accrue to the public, whose money
earns the interest. 1t generally goe
to the county Treasurers who are a
much entitled to it under the presen
law as anybody. In the aggregate
this interest would amount to man.
thousands of dollars q year. Th
people are entitled to the benefit;
rests with the Legislature whether O
not they shall receive it. A failur
to pass the bill here referred to, wi
be little short of actual robbery
We, therefore, appeal to the intelli
gence, honesty and patriotism of tn
Legislators and hope they may acqui
themselves with honor and credit.

L. Baker g. Co.'s Large Flaming Mil, De-.
stroysd by Fire.

RIcHFoRp, VT, Aug. "a fire. broke
out at 1870 a m. this morning in l.. Baker
& Co.'S planning mill. The whole plant wes
wiped out in less than two hours, represent
ing about SEQ, 600. The mill had not been
running for four weeks and 1t is supposed
that q passing engine communicated fire
with the infammable material around the
mill and so caused great loss to tho COM
pany and town. The tiremsn worked hero
cally, but all they could do, as this fire was
very hot, was to keep it from burning the
freight depot of the Canadian Pncifc rail
wsy. Two cars wsre burned, one Of them
being loaded with lumber.
Every thing that was saved was the books
and part of the Office furniture L. Baker
& Co. had their loss partially covered with
insurance. Fireman james Burns was bad
ly hurt by piece Of timber from the falling
tower. 1t is hoped that he will recover
from his injury, but at present it is uncer-
tain to what extent he is hurt The loss of

pied by employees of the mills ard laborng
men. Few owned their dwellings aud their
personal losses will be their personal effects.
Large numbers saved their household goods.
AT the brewery where the fire was checked,
the citizens did much to aid the firemen
with garden hose and buckets. With the
change in the wind all danger was prac-
tically over and the fire was
Allowed to Burn Itself Out.
All the available fire apparatus In the
city was in use and st. Paul sent two en-
gines and companie, in response to calls for
assistance. 1t is believed oil the occupants
OF the houses escaped with their lives, al
th ough it is rumored that two or three men
were pennod in by the flames while trying
to rescue their property. Nelson, Tenney
& c. lose about 10, 600, 900 feet of lumber
and some wood Backus g. Co., two saw
mills and probably like amount Of lum-
Der. Their loss will probably be at least
$3.50, OOO. j. Il. Wilcox a. Co.'S loss ia
about 500, coo; Fulton 81 Libbey's about
the same.
The bottling works and stables Of the
Minneapolis Bre wing Company are burned
and the loss will be at least $500, 900. They
were well insured. On small buildings the
loss can only be estimated. There are prob
ably two hundred small buildings burned,
together with their contents. The damage
to Clark's box factory on Nicollet Island is
estimated at $500 insured. Several
tiremen were slightly injured.
At 10 O'Clock tonight the east side ruins
were still ablazs, but tho fire is under con-
troll. Hundreds of people are the recipients
of charity or are sleeping in the open air to-
night Many saved
Only tho Clothing on Thor Bacts.
Some one hundred people principally la
borsrs and sawmll hands receded upon a
point OF land juttpg in the river. The
flames cut off their escape By land. No
boats were at hand and the residents wers
forced to rush into the rivdr. Great crowds
lined the bridges and watched big fiat
boat making slow Roadway toward the un
fortunate people in the river.
The heat was intense and many men were
compelled to duck their heads under water
to prevent the flames from scorching their
faces and heads. One man, unaided, brought
number of his neighbors across the river
before the flatboat arrived, when all were
rescued.
Three fremsn were njured whilo lighting
the flames.
Later estimates makes the total loss on
Nicollet island $115,0O0 f. W. Backus s.
Co. place their loss at over $1,000 600. 1t
is believed they are well insured.

presidents late message to Congress-; ex-
presses confidence that the democratic
Congress will devise laws to furnish
such relief; declares the financial situation
to be the neutral result OF the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava-
gance of the party latsly in power aud the
creation and fostering of trusts and corrupt
combinations by that party; recommends
that national banks may bs permitted to
issue their currency to an amount equal to
the par value of the United States bonds
which they may deposit with the treasurer
OF the United States to the end that the
volume Of currency may be Immediately
| increased; advocates a just and liberal
recognition of the claims Of the veterans
and favers granting them all that patriot
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand; condemns the un busnesslike
administration OF State affairs under Gov

A PopuIist on the Floor.
MIR. Pence, popullst, of Colorado was the
next speaker. The democratic party had
coma into power because it had declared
unequvocally for the reconciliation of
silver. Was it possible that Mr.. Raynor
and Mr.. Bland, uttering the diverse senti-
ments they did, were elected on the same
PLATFORM Laughter on all sides. The
democratic party in convention IN 1884 de-
clared its belief that gold and silver is the
coinage OF the constitution, and a circu-
lating medium convertible into such money
without loss. That meant tho remonetiza-
ton of silver at itp old ratio. But even be-
fore Mr. Clevelsnd's fret Inauguration
that platform had been slapped in the face
and spat upon. Applause.
During the Cleveland administration

tration was concernedl ono sincere effort to
remonetize silver. The republican admins
traton followed was no better in that re-
spect. he Industries or TIE people ne rep

He Quoted from n Speech
by Mr. Carlisle in the House in 1878 to the
effect that the striking down of from three
sevcnths to oue-half OF the metallic money
Of the country was the most gigantic crime
or any other generation, and he contrasted
that declaration with the present position
OF tho new secretary Of the treasury on the
silver question. The speech was made, he
said, when that gentleman was leader,
not follower; when he was n sander of
messages, not bearer OF them. Laugh

Mr.. Wheeler dem. Alabama) conteuded
that the country needed larger volume of
currency. II every country on earth, he
said, except tho United States found its
policy to demonitize silver, it never the
less would be imperative here TO main tain
silver coinage in order to develop this great
land.
Before the conclusion of Mr.. Wheeler 8
speech tia House adjourned until to-mor-

Here's Congress1onal wisdom.

From the Louisville Tourier-Journal.
Mr. Lane, of Illinois, solved the Whole
silver problem in about thirty seconds
by arisingin the National House Of Rep
resenatives and informing that body
that he knew the silver dollars We're
worth 100 cents instead of 50 cents, be-
cause as he was travelling to Washington
he ''sae" Pullman car porter take in
payment for berth two silver dollars at
100 cents each. OF course nothing more
need be said on the question if Mr. Lane
is sure that he see what he says ne see
on that train But we don't believe he
see any sicher thing. In fact, we
don'S believe Mr.. Lane was ever on a
railroad train in his life, for there never
was railroad train yet that could haul
as heavy load of brains as Mr.. Lane
totes around with him.
