A COMPROMISE.

Harris of Tennessee, one of the alb
lest parliamentarians in the senate,
and Henderson of Nebraska, in letters
to the New York Press, agree hat ii
vote On the silver repeal bill cannot be
forced by any process known to the
rules of precedents of the senate, and
believe the silver senators will be able
to prevent Il vote on the direct ques-
ton of unconditional repeal. Both
gentlemen believe that some compro
mise measure is inevitable. Mr.. Man
derson in his letter offers the following
proposition for a compromise:
First-The repealof the purchasing clause
OF the act Of July, 1880.
Second-The purchase by thegovernment
at it's market value. for three years, OF two
or two and one.half millions OF silver each
month, and the coinage of such silver and
it's issue as coin.
Third-The coinage OF the seigniorage
now in the treasury, amounting to about
SOL, 900, 900 as subsidiary coin.
Fourth-The retirement Of all notes I'M
der So in amount.
Fiith-The discretionary power in the
secretary Of the treasury to issue bonds to
maintain the equality of all dollars to the
extent OF $500, 00O,O
In connection with the above plan
Mr.. Henderson says:
A compromise involving the following
principles would, ] believe, commend itself
to the majority OF congress, and giving, as
it does, the use of silver with a limit OF
both time and amount, and the fortifying
of our silver with an increased gold reserve.
would be safe while bimetallism attains
the growth it is bound to reach in foreign
lands, especially in England.
There is some ground fer hope that
despite the opposition of the white
house egotist, silver may receive some
recognition as a circulating medium.

He Kicked on Time.

a good story comes from the vicin-
ity of Sage creek in Fergus county.
At the time of the holding OF the wool
growers convention at Great Falls,
recently, a Democratic sheep man
came along, bound for the meeting.
and asked a Republican to go with
him to the Falls. "Why should | go?
| am a Republican," said the latter.
"Well, then, you believe in protec-
ton, and should help us in this mat
ter" persisted the Democrat.
"Friend," said the Republican, al
am not doing any kicking now. My
kicking was done last fall, at the
proper time. You fellows admins
tered the medicine; we took it like
men, and now you Democrats are the
very first ones to kick at your own
ose."-River Press.

Judge Gary, who presided at the
trial of the Chicago anarchists, has
been renominated by the Republicans
of Cook county. An effort was made
to get both parties to unite on Judge
Gary, thereby securing a non-partisan
endorsement of a courageous and up
right judge. But with characteristic
cussedness and depravity the Demo-
Gratis nominated Ewing Osgood Brown,
an attorney who took a prominent
part in securing the pardon of the
anarchists. Gary should be over
whelmingly elected, but with the slums
of Chicago to contend with there is a
possibility of his defeat.

Although times are improving a little
throughout the country, money easier
in financial circles and failures less
frequent, there is no marked i'm
provement in the wool market. JUS
tice, Bateman & Co., in their circular
of October End, say: THE uncertainty
in regard to tariff legislation is without
doubt the main cause for the present
hesitation in trade. The chairman of
the ways and means committee is re-
ported to have said that a radical tariff
bill will be reported to the house of rep
resentatives and hat it will be in entire
harmony with the declarations of the
Chicago platform. On the other hand,
there is a growing belief hat the pass
age of a radical tariff bill through the
United States senate is very uncertain,
and at best it would seem today as il
action will be delayed, whatever it may
prove to be in the end. Until very re-
Gently it has been generally believed
that the new bill would be passed and
be in operation by July LIST. 1894; but
there seems to be some authority for
the belief hat it will be January, 1895,
before any tariff bill can go into effect,
If this could be definitely known, bust.
1ess would undoubtedly adjust itseli
accordingly, but the uncertainty causes
manufacturers as well as the buyers o.
goods to operate with extreme caution
Inasmuch as wooden goods are gener
ally made at least ten months ahead o
consumption, it al readily be seer
why buyers refuse to give orders to
manufacturers at this time for goods
which would not go into consumption
until after u new tariff bill is in opera

comes to a question of preventing a
vote on repeal. One or half a dozen
more senators would render no partic-
ular aid in the present situation. II is
conceded that repeal would carry by a
large majority could a vote be taken,
so it is difficult to discover any grounds
for the present attitude of the Demo-
cratic press other than that Of party
advantage and the personal interest of
w. A. Clark. The latter has already
disgraced the state in his ambition to
reach the senate, besides rendering a
whole legislative session powerless to
enact necessary laws. In the light of
these facts it would be little less than a
crime to entail the expense of an extra
session of the legislature at this time.
The wet nurse of the Butte Miner
should be watched. In his frothing
and foaming for his master he is liable
to burst a blood vessel. The people
are not clamoring for an extra session.

Rich Placers.

New reaches us from Marcus, Wash
ington, that the whole country is ex-
cited by reports Of a wonderfully rich
placer strike on the tributary OF the
Kettle river. Two Chinese brought in
80, 1000 in gold, some OF the nuggets
weighing S25, and exchanged it for
currency. This excited suspicious and
settlers at Boundary Falls rushed and
discovered the diggings that have
turned the head of every miner and
prospector in that section. Claims
are being rapidly staked and are pay
ing from $50 to 500 a day to a man.

A Trenchant Plea For Silver.

The Review of Reviews follows up
the efforts made in the September
number to secure a fairer judgment of
silver by a further paper in October,
which is in many ways one OF the
most remarkable contributions to the
literature OF the subject that has APP
peared. Mr.. f. B. Howell aims to
show in a concise article that gold has
appreciated instead OF silver's cheap
ening, and that We should be speaking
OF a S1.5O gold dollar instead OF a
sixty cent silver dollar. This state
ment has been made before, of course,
but we do not know that anyone be-
fore Mr.. Howells has made just such a
logical and simple argument to that
end. He prepared several interesting
charts, in which he places the produc-
ton and prices of the cereal and cot
ton crops and other staples since
1878, and compares them with the

Chicago's Day at the Fair.

Chicago will wax merry if everything
goes well on Oct. 8. 1t is proposed to
make that the Chicago day al the
fair, and incidently to glorify the fact
that the fair will be free OF its strictly
legal debts by that time. That day
is also the twenty-second anniversary
OF the great fire. 1t is indeed high
praise OF the excellence of the fairthat
this result has been accomplished in
times when so many were prevented
from going to Chicago by hard times.

The craving for stimulants follows the
excessive use OF tobacco in any form. All
modern medical works teach this Young
man, whittier are you drifting? The use OF
tobacco itself is one of the worst practices
of the present day. 1t stunts the growth
of the young, destroys the vitality OF the
adults, causes blindness, nervous prostra-
ton, heart failure, catarrh, dyspepsia and
general debility. Have you reached that
stage where You are compelled to acknowl-

comes to you in the form of "a message OF

ment, Hills Chloride of Gold Tablets for

prepared and given to the world. and you

Senator Voorhees, is going to ask for
night sessions OF the senate to force a
vote on the repeal hill. A majority Of

be passed except in a modified form
and it is possible an adjournment to

out any action whatever. The way of
the repealers is hedged about by many

The efforts to form a musical asso-
citation in Lewistown is most COM
mendable. There should be harmony
in music if in anything. Perhaps no
town in the state of the size of Lewis
town is possessed of so much musical
talent, particularly of the instrumental
order. We have two brass bands that
would reflect credit on any place, and
If consolidated under one management
would soon compare favorably with
any organization in the state. While
this applys to our brass bands it is also
true in other particulars. We have
the talent for the finest orchestra in
the state and we understand such an
organization is one of the objects in
view. The association will also EN-
brace vocal talent which will be cult
waited. The citizens of Lewistown
should give the gentlemen engaged in
this work every encouragement. With
such musical ability in our midst and
SO many worthy objects that could be
aided, there is no ease why frequent
entertainments should not be given
throughout the winter months.
