NO SMALL BILLS.
Fall River Mills Encounter New Diff

Fall River Mills Encounter New Diff
ficulty.
Fall River, Mass, August 3.-The fl
nancial situation of the mills took on a
new phase today. Owing to the extra
ordinary dearth of small currency, the
treasurers of the mills were forced to
send out several men into bar-rooms, res
taurants, groceries, and other business
places to get checks cashed into money
of small denominations. Some relief is
expected shortly from New York, but
very little, if any, is hoped for from
Boston. The treasurers of some of the
mills are preparing to issue small checks
to the help in payment of wages, the
understanding being that they will be
honored by grocers and others.
No More Silver Certificates.
Washington, August 3.-No more sill
Treasury Department. for the present as
the limit prescribed by law has been
reached. That is to say, as many silver
certificates are now outstanding as there
are silver dollars coined and in the treas
ury to redeem them. The reduction in
the number of standard silver dollars in
the treasury was brought about by the
large demand recently for silver dollars
from the South to move the crops in
Georgia and the Carolinas and pay off
the hands at work on the cotton crop.
A New Kind of Money.
Hartford, Conn, August g. Two

ey for customers, and preventing any in

a WRONG SENTIMENT.

The refusal Of Governor Mckinley to
accept any public assistance in his tinan-
cial troubles reflects a manly %independ-
once and a sturdy determination to win
out. At the same time there are no
reasons for eulogizing this course as
something akin to the ideal nor are
there any honest excuses for tho man
ner IN which these offers have been
made. Why, for instance, should mem-
bers Of the republican clubs or any 9th
er associations agree to contribute sums
of one dollar each to relieve Mckinley?
He Is not in actual distress nor will he
want for a meal SO long as he retains
that big brain and strong body hereto
foro used with much success. He is
sad to be capable of making $4,000 a
year at the practice Of law whenever he
chooses. Nor, on the other hand, can it
be honestly said that his services to the
country are of such a character as to
mako him agreat popular idol like Grant.
Mckinley is known as a conscientious,
honest and incorruptlble man in public
life, but as his estate shows, the popular
verdict against the Mckinley bill! by no
means implies that he made personal
sacrifices for the success of that
bad measure. He has simply run
against a streak Of hard luck like u
great many other greater men whom the
public never thought Of assisting.
The whole movement arises from a
mistaken public sentiment, which the
governor doubtless deplores for he is
possessed Of fine sensibilities. No man
in this country is great enough or good
enough to lay claim for public charity
SO long as he is able to work, and GER
tainly no charity should he given with
out proper claim. 1t is perhaps true
that the offerings to Governor Mckin-
ley were intended as testimonials of APP
probation, since We observe that the
movement started in WATERFOWL. n. y,
the home of the protected paper trust.
Whether it is true or not it is a bad ex-
ample and in bad taste. There are
mighty few men in public life to-day
who cannot support themselves, and SO
long as they can, surely they are on
titled to no moro privileges than the
plain every day American citizen.

a Hamilton Postmaster Whose Salary
Was IS Per Year.
Mark d. Leadbeater. the Manhattan
rancher. was in Bozaman early last week.
In conversation with an Avant Courier man
Mr.. Leadbeater recalled the honors he had
received at tho hands of Uncle Sam. For
several years he WAS postmaster at Hamil-
ton, which was about two miles above the
present town OF Manhattan. He faithfully
attended 70 Eis duties and his salary was
the magnificent sum Of Ssl2 per year. Every
three months his report, sworn to before u
notary, was sent to the po5toltlce depart
ment. The notary let him Off on the pay
ment of II dollar each time. This reduced
tie salary OF the POSTMASTER to q net figure

Somebody Has Suppressed tho Name of
His Paper Lest RE he Identified.
In 1882 a party Of mining men, of which
We were a member, had been up the Colo
RADIO to Silent Silver district, which is
about fifty miles from Yuma, on the All
IONA side. On our return TO Yuma we took
a rowboat belonging to ono OF the mining
companies, and hired q Yuma Indian to
row US down the river. He wore no clothes
except a band of calico wrapped aroun his
!olns, with a long strip falling down be-
hind. AS the day WAS warm and long our
p!oGress was SLOW, and we amused our
selves-there were five besides the Indian
by recltlng, singing and stories, much to
the astonishment of the red man.
When about half way down to Yuma out
attention was attracted to some large
boulde:s of semitic on the riser bank. These
hugs boulders were covered with Indian
hieroSlvphica. Behind these houlders and
extending up the hill slopes We egrsat nun
bars of towering cacti, the gigantic ceres
OF botany. The great t1uted trunks, armed
will lonG-armed thorns, as the distance
receded, grew into an apparently thick
forest. Mingled with these were caoti of
various forms. co,ora and kinds, beside the

a lME FOR PLAIN TALK.

Gentlemen, that senator must be-
elected!
The democracy of Montana must not
be d%ishonoreG; it must not be black
listed at Wnshington; it must not lose
its place in the party councils because
its representatives failed to do thor
sworn duty.
Montana has a splendid record Of
democratic victories. victories won in
long years whom tho whole northern
country was besieged and hold by the
enemy and whom our brethren in the
cast turned toward this mountain state
as the one bright star in tho Western
sky. 1t is an escutcheon cherished, for
it bears u history of battles and u list Of
leaders to arouse the pride Of every
Montana democrat and keep the fire in
his heart. 1t is a trust given us by the
early corners who raised tho shield of
democracy and never lowered it.
The question at hand is whether the
democrats Of Montana arc worthy OF
that trust; whether the integrity of tho
party is to be kept and the flag held at
tho masthead or whether cowardice,
treachcry and rebellion arc to enter tho
ranks, blast a glorious spirit and destroy
all that has been done.
Arc representatives. to run away from
a battle field already won? Are they to
desert "a standard for a flying enemy to
return and capture. These are the
questions and tho democratic party Of
Montana demands a loyal answer
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-02-27

for tho division OF the state. What the
state needs more than anything just now is
less division and moro populAtion-~fewer
ambitious Ioliticians and moto attention
to the development of its mining interests"
In this instance tho advice ia timely
and worthy of notice, and while the
same advice might apply to othor west
crn states, Montana just now needs it
most. II our people could tale a hand
in the trading business and swap our
politicians for those of Colorado, how
sweet would be the harmony in our
midst.
