WITH little organized effort employ
ment could be found for every idle man
in Helena. Many Of our citizens have
abundant means to undertake some
form Of improvement. There are placer
digglngs once worked over that could be
re-worked and made at least to pay the
wages of the men employed. AS it is
the autumn outlook here will be
brighter than in many places. Grading
work on the Castle road will give en-
ployment to many men and teams.
Major Marshall, who has completed the
mapping Of the grounds for the military
post, is daily expecting the news from
Washington that the building plans are
ready, and we may confidently look for
the beginning Of operations at the post
in short time.

GoLpBuG newspapers harp unceas-
ingly about the fuctuation in the value
Of the silver dollar, because Of tluctua-
tions in the price Of bullion silver. AT
present there are in circulation silver
dollars coined at the government mint
of silver that cost all the way from
Sl.32 to p cents an ounce. Will the
goldbug newspapers kindly tell us
whether the gentlemen in their count
ing rooms make discrimination in &C.
cepting these dollars in payment for
subscription or advertising bills? Dc
they look at tho date stamped on the
dollar and then consult market reports
to learn the price Of silver bullion at
that time? We incline to the belief
that conference with their business
managers would reveal to these editors
more facts about finance than have
place in their philosophers.

CUT II SHORE,

LongWinded debates in either house
Of congress may have their uses. But
it seems to be conceded fact that their
abuses outweigh any good they may ac-
complsh. The present session affords
striking example. A question of the
utmost importance to the affairs of the
nation is supposed to be receiving the
most assiduous care Of the members of
congress. Good people not intimately
informed as to the habits of congress-
men frequently think and speak com
passionately Of those hardworked, zeal
Gus servants Of the people, wearing their
very lives out in the heat and malaria
Of the capital in their unfaiing and un-
falterng efforts to relieve the financial
strain. But according to Trustworthy
reports the daily attendance in the
house is limited to gentlemen who are
scheduled to deliver powerful speeches
on the financial problem, some few
friends of the intending speakers, the
newspaper mon and an occasional ruroI
visitor. Tie other congressman are a,

1t is not certainly known that the
vote OF single member was changed
by all the tariff debates that have been
held iu congress during the last eight
years at great expense of money and
infinite weariness of spirit. Time was

were the chief fountains OF wisdom arc
knowledge and patriotism, but that was
before the development of the American
daily newspaper. Now, however, ever,

BOSTON e. MONTANA.

1t Is In Good Shape and Is Expected to Pay
Dividend Next Year.
The Boston Transcript of late date says
there is good buying OF Boston d Montana
stock in that market and that it is pur-
chessl to put away for dividends. After
two days OF bidding, one of the most prom
inent members of the Boston Stock Ex-
change succeeded in purchasing the divi-
dend on fifty shares of Boston d Montana
for the balance of 1893 and the whole year
1894 at 81 per share. General expectation
among the friends of tho property is that
$3.50 per share can be paid in 1894. Now
TINT the financial needs of the company are
provided for, there appears to be no him
drance to the comp pletion of the Great Falls
plant on the scale of highest efficiency for
the production of copper at the lowest cost
and the savings, always expected from this
plant, already are telling upon the profits
of the company. Bonded debt steadily 10
reducing by opo alton OF the sinking fund,
and floating debt has been taken care of
through the issue of the rs, 900 shares of
new stock by the syndicate which under
