ROASTED.

The South Bend Daily Times, in q
length. editorial criticism. thus severely
takes Senator Voorhees, to task: ITO be
thus candid our distinguished senator
will, We trust, pardon US for saying in a
spirit of friendship and fairness that his
speech-the latest greatest effort Of his
life'-is a strange medley Of striking
points, many %undisputed truths, much
sophistry, a great deal Of d%emagogyr
choice oratorical %buncombe, lurid We
hemence, unexampled political incon'
stancy, glazing self. contradiction, full,
some and ~insincere laudation. O..
ave do not wonder that he took the
precaution, at the very opening OF his
argument, to say that this was a speech
which did not admit Of interruption
Standing on slippery ground, with a rec,
ord that confronts him with evidence OF
Inconsistency and Inconsistency Of a pro-
nounced character, it was we'll that he
shielded himself against the rapiers that
we're held in readiness all over the SEN
ate chamber to dissect his bantling.
Still protesting undiminished and un
alleged friendship for the silver dollar
he has lent himself to the unrighteous
work of dealing that coin a blow from
which, as he we'll knows, there can be no
recovery for years to come.
"In lurid rhetoric he makes a merciless,
vicious onslaught on the national bank
ing system; in the capacity OF senator
and chairman Of the committee on
finance he champions a bill granting
these same institutions greatly enhanced
privileges and advantages. He talks
glibly Of financial solidity, and yet pro-
ceeds to advocate a system of banking
that experience teaches to be a breeder
of financial decentralization and disaster.
And 30 on throughout this latest great
est effort Of his life" What a contrast
it presents to his really great speech in
1878 in favor Of silver reconciliation,
when, untrammeled by the seductive
power Of administrative favor, he spoke
from the promptings Of a great big
heart that beat in sympathy with the
great mass OF the people, and not, as
now, when he appears in the strange at
titude of an attorney for a clan that
draws its incentive and animation from
the gilded caverns Of Greed and Spoila-
ton, and whose hope Of triumph rests
upon the corrupting power of
public patronage"

The TRIBUNE voices the sentiment of
the citizens Of Great Falls in particular
and those of Montana in general when
it says all honor to the men who built
and equipped the Royal Touring mill at
Black Eagle dam. Thanks to their m
terprise Great Falls is now in a position
to boast of the most complete Touring es-
tablishment to be found in the Rocky
mountain region. This mill can turn
out $50 barrels of flour per day and the
building is 80 arranged that the output
can easily be increased to 800 barrels by
putting in another set Of rolls. We are
now in a position to furnish plenty Of
fine flour to the whole state, and we be-
speak a liberal patronage for the "ltex"
brand manufactured by the Royal Mill
ing company.

THE THIRD STREET SEWER.

The attempts of the Leader to lay
everything at the door of the democratic
administration is highly amusing. The
democrats are charged with making
these hard times and anon they are held
responsible for the absence of sun spots
on the great orb of day. Last nights
Leader, in its local columns, lays the re-
sponsibility for the bad condition of the
Third street sewer to democratic in
~tluence, We gods! A republican mayor
and a republican council bought the
pipe which was made in the south part
of town by II. A. Hauke. The sewer
was begun on the Goth day of April,
1890, under contract from the city. The
cement pipe used was utterly worthless
for the purpose and the condition OF the
today is a disgrace to the city and
a menace to the public health. Demo
Gratis, as a rule, are whole-souled and
broad -shouldered, but the attempt to
foist the blame OF the Third street
upon them is too much of a joke.

1T is always best to face a disagreeable
truth promptly and %squarely. II con-
gress does nothing for silver it is claimed
on good authority that the price will
not fall below the present prevailing
rates. Such being the case a more ia
vorable rate on the ore between the
great silver camps Of Neihart and Bar
ker and the smelters OF Great Falls
would enable most Of the mines to re-
sumo. Business would quickly respond
and prosperity would again smile upon
the land.

NOTE how quickly New Ha%mpshire's
senator jumped to his feet to object in
the senate Thursday when Senator VOL
colt submitted a resolution directing
the secretary Of the treasury to inform
the senate what sums rave been paid as
bOunties on maple sugar under the law
Of October II, 1880, stree the passage of
the act, also showing the states in which
payment was made. He knew what was
coming, as well he might after joining
the conspiracy to ruin the mining states
Of the west. II the government is going
to demonetize silver and bring untold
ruin upon the west, why should 1t con
tinue to give subsidies to the maple
sugar "barons"?

The popularity and success OF the
worlds fair stock exhibit have stimu-
lated a desire among breeders to have an
annual show that will be an exhibition
of the finest live stock this country can
produce. In view Of this sentiment the
question Of organizing a permanent an
nual exhibit for the United States is
being earnestly agitated and meets with
unqualified approval among stockmen.
This week will no doubt see the move
ment we'll under way.

The Montana Democrat OF Lewistown
has entered upon the fourth year OF it's
publication. IT is the junior paper OF
Lewistown so far as age is concerned, but
otherwise the Democrat is no spring
chicken. 1t has a happy faculty Of ex-
pressing itself On all matters concerning
the interests Of Fergus county in par
ticular and Montana in general which
leaves no doubt in the readers mind OF
the papers desire to fill the mission OF a
live journal.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Is. 1893.
STOP TALKING PANIC

Says the Courier-Journal Of Louis
VILE: 1.-THE country has been pretty
nearly talked to death during the past
three or four months. Somebody sud
denly observed that gold was going to
Europe. 1t had been doing this for
three years, but nobody noticed it until
the drain began to tell On the govern
ment's gold reserve. Then somebody
spoke OF it with an ominous shake OF
the head, and Immediately went up a
great hue and cry about the danger just
ahead. The people we're scared out OF
their wits. They began to take their
money out OF the banks and hide it
away somewhere, and the banks had to
suspend. They began to skimp and
scrape and save and deny themselves
the ordinary indulgences Of life, and
merchants found trade dull and them
selves unable to pay their bills. Every
dollar that could be obtained was
fastened upon with a death grip,
Instead of being sent about its
business of paying debts. Banks loaded
up their vaults with reserves OF 30, 40,
80, or GO, per cent, and refused to cash
their depositors' checks or loan a dime
on the best OF security. We became a
nation OF nervous wrecks as to money
matters-a nation OF crazy fools, some
body has put it-and each went about
yelling "Panicw at the top of his voice
to alarm his neighbors all the more.
1T is surely about time to stop such
nonsense. Here is an official statement
that there is in the possession OF the peo-
pie Of the country, outside OF the treas
ury, over %SGO,OOO.000 more than on Aug.
l, and nearly %s70,OOO,OOO more than they
had a year ago, when they felt pretty
flush. And yet this crazy scare, induced
by talk and kept alive by senseless CAB
BILE, has SO effectually banished it from
Its proper place in business that the
whole country has been running on one
wheel for a month or more.
1.-The way to restore confidence is to
restore confidence, and the best plan is
the old Jerusalem style of each man
looking out for that part Of the wall over
against his own door. Pay your bills.
Use your money as you would ordinarily.
Put you cash in the banks. Don't talk
panic or act panic and in a little while
there will be no panic.

THE publication OF the long letters
that passed between Commander Everett
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chan
cellor Of the exchequer, has not added
anything Of interest to the silver ques-
ton. Sir William in one letter says the
failure of the conference to reassemble
was due to the United States. His en-
deavor to throw the blame upon Uncle
Sans shoulders is an old trick that has
been worked too often. England would
not countenance any movement that
would in the slightest degree tend to in,
terfere with her single monetary stand

THERE is no question but a more con
tident tone pervades the feeling of the
people here. The enlargement Of the
smelter, improvements at the great dam,
the starting up Of the Royal Milling
company, and the tendency manifested
by the depositors Of the First National
bank to see and help that institution re-
sumo have all combined to stiffen con
fdence in a prosperous future for the
city OF Great Falls.
