Special Correspondence to The Progress:
The silver debate in the Senate has
been far from being as goOd-natured as
that i'm the House, and the Senators APP
pear now TO have reached a state of ir-
ritdtiOn that is quite unusual with them,
and which has already caused some
very unpleasant things 10 be said.
Senators Voorhees, and Hale hal a quar-
rel that fifty years ago would have led
To pistols and coffee for two, and Sena-
tors Dubois and Teller said some hard
things about the anti-silver men. while
Senator Teller made a most sensational
attack upon the newspapers Of the
country, charging them with inisrep-
resenting public sentiment on the sill
yer question and intimating that il was
was done for a price. These are not
promising indictiOns of an early and
satisfactory ending OF the debate. Two
day ago everything looked bright for

yer each until 5000, 900 should be coin
ed-but President Cleveland put
damper upon it by saying that no com
promise or concession of any kind would
be accepted. | understand that twenty
seven Senators have pledged them
selves not to allow vote to be taken
until some sort of concession has been
obtained.

exciting more immediate interest in
Washington than any other one thing.

we spent the whole day and the greater

order or arrangement. Everything had
been heaped in promiscuously. Having

The ruin that overlook some of the
Wall street schemers the other day is
not a matter for the country to take to
heart with sadness. Public opinion on
their fate is thus set forth by the Salt
Lake Tribune: "When a person is in
trouble half the grief is removed by feel
ing that friends ~sympathize. There is
a satisfaction in the thought that the
hrrrying and the scurrying in Wall
street by those harpies who have been
preying upon the country for years does
not meet with any sympathy. The coun-
try feels toward that particular division
of the republic a pleasure in the thought
that those men who have kept 80 many
hundreds of thousands of people in
trouble for ten years are just now hav-
ing a little dose Of their W medicine.
The feeling is conferred in the hope that
the trouble will be continued until it
either makes of them better men or
kills them, and the country does not care
a copper which result shall be attained

NEIHtltT AND HARkE E.

Nelhart is destined to become n of
the principa sources Of income to Great
Falls. Not only this. but she is destined
10 rival all the mining camps Of the stale.
She is now shipping to the smelter here
from eighteen to twenty. eight cars of
silver ore every week. which will be in
creased to fifty and soon to 100 if any adj
vance is made in the price OF silver.
She is not "A camp of today, but. as is
tho opinion of every mining mar who
has examined her granite formation and
her strong assure veins, her mines will
be exhausted only after many years of
great productiveness. The greater part
of her ores will be smelted at this point,
and the day can not be far distant when
daily trains will be required to transport
freight to and from that camp. When
that day comes not one smelter, but
many, with their army of ~wage-earners,
will stimulate the channels OF trade at
home and estab ish a constant source
for the distribution of wealth where now
the source is comparatively small.
Great Falls will be a live city of a
much larger population, and we apprecl-
ate that her future prosperity is TO be
affected materially by the future growth
and development of the celebrated camps
of Neihart and Barker.

KING WILLIAMS FOLLY.

Our dispatches from Berlin this morn
ing show how angry the young emperor
of Germany is over the defeat Of his pet
army bill.
There is not a question that the peo-
pie are right and the emperor wrong.
He is out of date will, any scheme for
strengthening the letters Of despotism,
and il will be wise for HIM to 60 slow be-
fore his gait carries him too far. The
fiery young monarch would do well to
remember the fate of Charles L., of Louis
XVI, and the dire experience of George
III. The officers of the Royal guard
may be with him, but the people are not
and the vast majority of the army is not.
William has shown a remarkably er-
ratio and volatile disposition. From
being the garrulous and visionary cham
pion of the proletariat he has blossomed
out into the full -fedged advocate of mill
tarism, which is one Of the worst forms
OF despotism, and at this moment he is
mooring his ambition by a rope of sand

4 SHORT MONEY MARKET.

Many people wonder why it is that
more is not being done in the west in the
direction of material developments. The
scarcity and DEAFNESS Of money is the
chief cause of the difficulty.
That clever writer on Pacific coast
matters, Dan de guile, in a recent letter
from Virginia City, New, says on this
subject:
A considerable number Of people are
this spring leaving for pastures new.
Not only are miners going but almost
every week some old time business man
pulls up his stakes. As no new men are
coming in the frequent departures will
soon begin to tell. As Franklin saul:
always taking out of the meal-tub and
never putting in will soon come to the
bottom Although most citlzcns-out-
side of miners-go to California, there
appears to be no particular inducement
at the present time for anyone to go to
that state. San Francisco is overstocked
with ~workingmen and the unemployed
are there tlocking together and holding
meetings. 1t will do NJ more good than
it would for us to hold meetings here on
the Comstock. There are undoubtedly
vast regions of territory to be reclaimed
and immense resources to be developed
everywhere from the southern line OF
New Mexico to the northern line of
Alaska. but the times are out OF joint
and the money which should be used in
these enterprises lies uncoined in the
vaults of the nation. The bankers play
their golden fiddle while the people in
droves idly tramp the land in search of
something to do money mak,s the
mare CO." We have the mare in all this
western country, but lacking money
there is no go to her. The condition Of
all this region is that Of arrested devel-
opment. The mare is now becoming
balky the world over. In the days Of
the harvest of gold in California and
Australia she was a nag of spirit. Then
she pranced about the world with head
and tail aloft, but now both drag the
ground and she stands l~ifeless in her
tracks.

THE rO:'E FOR PEACE.

If it is true as stated in some Of the
European press dispatches that Pope
Leo XIII is about to intercede with the
armed nations ur Europe on behalf of
general disarmament, one of the most in
teresting phases of the worlds history is
about to appear.
There is general alarm all over Europe
because of the almost universal discon-
tent and misery of the industrial classes.
This trouble is On the increase and is
certain to have disastrous results before
long unless something practical and pro-
gressive is done to strike at the very
root of these disorders. Legislation can
do something, but there are grave
doubts of its ability to do enough. 1t
seems to those who have studied the
situation most carefully that Il complete
revolution must be effected in the mar
ners and customs, and the class distinc-
tionR which exist in many countries be-
fore conditions Of living among the
masses can be attuLeG to the demands
of modern thought and aspiration.
The European system is altogether
bad. Each nation lives in an atmosphere
OF war. Like pugnacious school boys,
they are going about with a chip on their
shoulder waiting for some one who dares
to knock it off. The extraordinary bur
dens placed on the people to maintain "a
war footing are more than can be borne
much longer. Even on France, the most
thrifty and resourceful Of them all, the
load is too heavy and is beginning to
gall. The citizen soldiery lament their
fate because they know that many help
less ones are suffering that they may be
clothed, fed and ACQUIRED as useless
drones in the world. and the masses lit
orally ''groan and sweat under a weary
life that the pride and arrogance OF
kings may be asserted.
Truly. if the pope shall succeed in
stirring up the consciences Of European
rulers to the point Of agreeing upon a
general basis of peace, he will be regard
ed as the most Christ.lik of all the
popes. and as ono of the greatest of hu
man benefacturs. The immediate re-
suits would be new and strong impetus
to all industrial pursuits, and a feeling
of renewed hope and confidence in mill
ions of hearts that are nov on the verge
of desperation.

An old mar with IA thin, bent form and
a few locks of whito hair peeping from
beneath Il rusty old fashioned silk hat
hobbled painfully through Broad street
one afternoon last week and took his
stand near the Mills building. He leaned
YEARLY on his stout stick and appeared
to be in pain. His manner was abso-
lutely passive. He paid no attention to
surrounding objects and spoke to no per-
son. He simply stood still. Within half
an hour after the close of business in the
exchanges at least half a dozen well
known brokers in passing this old gentle
man slyly slipped a coin CT a crulnpled
note into his hand. Who is that old

There is one difference between Amer
lean and European theaters as marked as
their schedule of prices and their usher
ing system, and that is in the matter of
''dressers.' The European manager en-
ploys about half II dozen dressers who
act as body servants of the leading actors
III his company and a reregular employees
of the house, like gas men. cleaners and
scene shifters. The American actor,
however, dresses himself or else hires a
man to assist him. When he docs hire a
man. it is usually a fellow player who is
doing small parts and is glad Of the
chance to increase his $40 wages by s.
from the leading or heavy man or first
comedian.
The dresser has not only to assist in
changing his masters costume. Il per
formance requiring great expedition. but
makes repairs, folds and puts away the
clothing, packs and unpacks the trunks
and sees that the dressing table is sup
piled with paints, wigs, combs and other
needful articles. In the European thea
tiers the dresser seldom or never acts,
though he is often IN actor who has been
forced off from the stage by illness,
lameness or loss of voice. He is gen.
