SILVER TOKENS.

A novel and feasible scheme has
been devised by James A. Carrier, a
Great Falls mining man, to put more
money in circulation. The plan is
thus described by himself to a Trib-
m reporter.
Mr.. Carrier is advocatinga solution
of financial %stringency in the mining
states which possibly possesses some
merit just at this particular time, as
a circulating medium is pretty scarce
in Montana. His idea is to have a
state refinery or mint and coin med
ais to be used as a circulating med
ium Each medal is to contain one
n of pure silver and is expected
to circulate for n dollar among the
mining states, and would be bought
in many instances by eastern people.
and coin collectors to be kept as SOU
venirs. These medals are to %circul-
ate as dollars, as they would really
contain more silver than the present
dollar, and if free coinage becomes a
fact the medals would possess
intrinsic value thant he regulation
cart wheel. And Mr.. Carrier thinks
that these medals would eventually
circulate in all the states west of the
Mississippi. 1t would require the
annual American product of silver to
furnish them, which of course would
force England to pay 81 an ounce
for the silver she needs. Wheat, corn
and every other American product
would demand better prices if silver
went to 81 an ounce. The medals
are to be stamped with the seal of
Montana. Mr.. Carrier thinks his
scheme feasible and believes it would
be adopted by Colorado, Idaho and
Utah.
1t would be a source Of rejoicing
if the West, independently of the
East should solve this vexed uues-
ton, and there is no doubt that the
above plan has many strong argu-
ments in its favor.

PRESS COMMENT.

Montanian: Thirst for office al
ways has and always will prove too
much for the average democrat.
Just listen at 'em yell for an extra
session, regardless Of the consequent
ces, other than that of an office to be
filled. We honestly believe that if
the devil should lose his Office the
democratic party would 60 into con-
vention, or commissions, to fill the

The situation in congress on the
silver question is not changed. The
senate has railroaded the House re-
peal bill and it now looks as if the
silver senators would talk "repeal''
to death ever though it should re-
quire all of next winter. 1t is to be
deplored hat Montana has no sena-
tor to take a hand in the obsequies.

THE criticism of Mr.. Powers action
with reference to the call of an extra
session is general and generally ad-
verse. 1t is predicted by good pro-
phets that this g%entleman's senatorial
career will be brief. Neither has the
prophet implied that Thos. H. Carter
would succeed him. The N. Y. Trib-
une interview has not yet been di-
gested.

Simply shrus Their shoulders.

PARIS, June 1a-The French people
have received with undisturbed eqlanimi-

of the criminals of the Panama scandal
was but farce. 1t was known all along

political scoundrels who profited most by
the fraud to go scot free, hut it was sup.
posed that the prosecution of the half
dozen scapegoats who were condemned
was genuine. No other nation on earth
would receive without Indignation tn
news that it was deceived even in this.
The Frenchman, however, shrugs his
shoulders and refuses to disturb himself
about what has become for him Il matter
of ancient history
1t becomes more and more probable
daily that the hand of death or disease will
take prominent part in the devel opment

CHICAGO, June 19.-The United States
court of appeals decided unanimously that
the Worlds fair directors could keep the
exhibition open on Sundays. The ground
OF the decision was that the United States
was not in actual control of the enter
prise, and that the United States had no
case in equity in asking for an injunction
on the ground that no injury or wrong had
been shown as the resultant of Sunday
opening. Chief Justice Fuller gave the
opinion and Judges Bum and Allen as
scented. The decision settles the case for
all time
With the mercury in the thermometer
sticking near the 9O-degree mark in the
shade it was hardly reasonable to expect u
great crowd of people at the exposition.
Excepting the wooded island the white city
was hot and in some of the glass rooted
buildings, especially Machinery hall, the
heat was felt more than in the open air.
