so gold-mad and pleasure-mad that we
are often stone blind to virtues and vices.
We have come to a time when instead OF
having our work lessened by machinery
and inventions, we perceive that it is
doubled. All our leisure hours are gone
In an inventory Of our minds and hearts
it is uncertain whether we should all be
classified as fools or slaves. Our names
are hidden away somewhere in the
neighbOrhood of these two TENS. III
there is anything w need it is Sunday
of rest and reflection. On all the Satur-
days of summer all shops, stores, offices
and factories should be closed at noon,

habited 10y men of thought and kind
ness. On each Saturday afternoon all
toilers should have the liberty of air
and sunshine, play and beauty. and on
Sunday they should taste again the
sweetness of rest and peace. We should
all entertain Il high regard for steam en-
gines, telegraphs and electric railways,
but we should not permit our souls to be
swindled by those elegant things. They
must not come between us and our
books, our churches, homes, our
benevolcnce. our friendships. If Sunday
possesses "a moral quality and contains
something good for each soul upon
earth let us not sell out the day for so
much gold. Let us urn Saturday into
a holiday and keep Sunday for rest and
peace. 1t is highly immoral to ask what
gate-money a Sunday would bring?

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

In his sermons Of Sunday, Bishop
Brewer, Of the Episcopal church, said
much TO set people TO thinking, He
pointed out the way, which if once faith
fully followed by the members of the
Christian ministry, would soon make the
chu ch militant a greater power in the
land than It is in these days, But the
fiery zeal of the apostles is not common
in these times. There are not many men
in the pulpit or elsewhere who have a
laundering to visit leper settlements, or
to work for long periods among the
morally halt and blind.
The ideal pastor Of Christ's flock
would be a nan with zeal and deter
mination enough to lead his flock into
the vineyard where the most work was
to be done: a man who could fully COM
prehend what kind of work was needed,
and who could invent methods to bring
it about. Thus from the wilds Of society
a few would be rescued, but there would
always be the mire with its grimy oc-
cupants whom only Christ himself can
save. and that, perhaps, in the word
beyond the grave.
Probably the most fruitful labor that
can be done for the regeneration of man
kind will be found among the children.
Many of these, to be sure, are almost be-
You'd the help Of mortal aid on account
of inherited tendencies that can be Grad
icated only by death, but among the
outcast children of the world it is safe to
say that there is a very large percentage
who could be trained to usefulness and
goodness if the right methods were en-
ployed.
Bishop Brewers remarks as outlined
in THE TRIBUNE today, will be read by
the members Of all churches with inter
est, and they should have the effect to
lead the erring to make a break for the
upward course in life. Men and women
who are on the safe and solid ground
and who have not erred to the extent
that the lost ones have, should extend a
helping hand, and do all that in them
lies to rescue the weaker and more un'
fortunate members of society. This i:
the lesson of Christ's teaching as falrl,
set forth by the good bishop; it is thu
lesson Of charity, and the lesson of hu
mainly.

THE TRIAL OF JOHN HARRIS,
He Is Charged with Assault Upon
G. ii. Treat with Intent to
Commit Murder.
a Jury Secured and Several Wit
nesses for the State En-
amined.

The trial of John Harris-"Jew Jake"
was commenced in the district court
Tuesday morning before Judge Benton.
A Jury was not secured until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, when the examination of
witnesses was commenced. The follow
ing are the jurors: ID. G. Conklin, N. G.
Anderson, j. B. King, Joseph Flood, S.
j. McGrail, Wylie Farmer, Andrew j.
Briggs, j. e. Epler, j. w. Harvey, Mer-
rill Carter, J. G. Wacker, James Farrell.
The state is represented by County
Attorney Freeman and j. A. Largent,
and the prisoner by j. G. Clements and
j. A. Hoffman.
Five witnesses, Y. P. A. Howe, Geo. II.
Treat, Charles Tolliver, NJ. Phillips and
|. Marks, were examined in behalf of
the state during the afternoon and there
are seven or eight more to be examined
today. The defense has about the same
number of witnesses.
The history of the case need not be
fully repeated as the readers of The
TRIBUNE are acquainted with all the
facts, but a brief resume will not be out
of place.
On the 18th of November, 1891, there
was a railroad excursion to Neihart and
a great many people from Helena and
Great Falls took lit in" and had a royal
time at the great mining camp, notwith-
standing the disagreeable weather. A
| goodly number of the excursionists in
dulged in the flowing bowl rather freely
before leaving Neihart and on the way
back a dispute over some small matter
resulted in loud words and a knock
down. John Harris, better known as
jew jake" was among the fighting &C.
cupants of one of the cars, and during
a scuffle he was hit several times in the
face by George H. Treat, city marshal of
Great Falls, who interfered in the row
for peace purposes. After this all was
quiet until the train arrived in Great
Falls and the passengers. except those
going to Helena, had gotten out on the
platform at the depot, when Harris, who
had no doubt worked himself up to a
high pitch of revenge, suddenly opened
fire with a revolver upon Marshal Treat,
one ball penetrating his back. The
marshal pulled his gun and commenced
firing at Harris, one ball hitting him in
the right leg and SCATTERING the bone,
necessitating amputatlon a short time
afterward. The marshal was carried to
the Park hotel, where his wound was
dressed. and Harris was taken to the
county Jail.
In the shooting bee at the depot Joe
Lessard was hit in one of his eyes by a
stray bullet and a young son of |, Marks
of Helena was shot in the leg.
Harris was released from Jail under
heavy bonds and returned to his home
at Helena, where his leg was amp ,tated.
The case was set for trial in the dis.
trict court several times, but Harris was
unable to attend and the case was con.
tinued until the present term. The
charge on which he is now being tried is
for assault with intent to commit muir.

A MONDAY MORNING FIRE.
The Old Vienna Bakery Building Badly
Damaged by Fire.

Damaged by Fire.
At $3.50 o'clock Monday morning the
old Vienna bakery building on Second
street south, nearly opposite the railroad
freight house, was discovered to be on
fire, and before the tire department
reached the house the fire had spread to
every room in the building. and it took
heroic work on the part Of the firemen
to keep the flames from spreading to the
adjoining buildings. A stable adjoining
caught fire and burned a horse to death.
None of the fireme, knew there was a
horse in it or it could have been rescued
before the fire got in it's deadly work. 1t
Was not discovered until ii was toe late.
The hay in the stable was hard to get at
and the firemen had considerable trouble
in putting the fire out. The inside of
the bakery is a total ruin and the bakery
stock is a total loss to the proprietor,
Paul Gladisch. The insurance or the
building and stock is between $1,000
and $1,000.
Chief Burns made a narrow escape
from being burned to death. He fell
into a hole in the floor over the oven and

the perilous position when he was dis

SILyER'S DAY WILL COME.

When the present gold madness has
subsidized to some extent, and the bust
ness men of this country are brought
face to face with the crisis which this
madness will entail, there are going to
be bright days for silver, and the metal
that has been degraded and insulted
will regain its place of usefulness and
honor.
One of the excuses the gold bugs have
made for degrading silver is the foolish
one that it is produced so very cheaply
that it has become a drug. AS a matter
Of absolute fact it costs less to mine gold
than it does to min silver when their
comparative values are considered. This
absurd notion of the ''intrinsic value" OF
a circulating medium is the sheerest
m%oonshine in any case. Take the paper
on which a bill for $1,000 is printed, for
instance. Is the cost of production of
that paper in any proportion whatever
to its face value as money? So far as
gold is concerned it's "Intrinsic value
has been brought about by monopoly,
exclusion, special legislation, and the de
vices practicel by sharks On the stock
exchange when they run a corner
But the fact is that gold which has a
value Of $40 per ounce costs at a maxi.
mum rate not more than from 50 to 50
per ounce to produce, while the SILVER
which has been degraded to a price of
s. cents per ounce costs to produce from
$1,25 to - per ounce.
Some interesting opinions on the cost
of producing silver have been collected
by Senator Stewart of Nevada. Among
them are the following:
Ex-senator Tabor of Colorado esti-
mates silver to cost Sl.50 per ounce.
Ex-Sena tor Hill of Colorado believes
it costs more han S1.29 per unce
w. G. Wynkoop thinks that every
ounce produced has cost on average
of 500.
W. F. Reinert of Denver places the
cost ut from S1.5J to $40 per ounce.
Louis 4. Garnett of San Francisco
estimates the cost of Comstock silver at
Sl.50.
$. Wenban Of San Francisco, while
saying that he can produce silver from
his mines in Nevada at G3 cents per
ounce. thinks that all the silver in
Nevada has averaged not less than Sl.3O
per ounce.
The leading superintendent of the
"Comstock," William f. Sharon, james
Fl. Kinkead. d. b. Lyman. A. j. Nc.
Donald, +. Boyle and G. G. Thomas, put
the cost of producing an ounce OF silver
on the Comstock today at Sl.3l.
r. Fl. Colcord, governor Of Nevada
puts the cost of all the silver produced
in that state at over s1.50 per ounce.
Surveyor-G General j. E. Jones OF Ne.
vada estimates it at from Sl.5 to 500
per ounce.
Our financial system can no more gel
along without the use Of silver thar
without the credit Of the government
and the sooner the east recognizes thi'
fact the sooner the entire country vii
be happy and prosperous.

THE MINES.

Resumption of WOrk-Ore Being Raised
to the Surface Already.
The trails to and from the Anaconda
mines which have been covered with
snow for some months, are again open
and each shift shows a steady line OF
sturdy miners going and coming to from
the mines says the Butte Inter Mount
ain. A full force has not yet been put
to work, but ore is being raised to the
surface and trains are moving to the
Smelter city.
The magnitude of the Anaconda COM
pany can scarcely be appreciated at first
thought. 1t gives employment to thous-
ands of men directly and indirectly. A
suspension of its operations not only af,
fects the miners and smeltermen, but it
throws railroad men and coal miners out
Of work; it causes a stoppage OF saw
mills and woodchoppers. All these in
dustries feel the effects of resumption
and each is in operation.
Not only is the effect like magic
among coal miners, r~ailroaders, wood
choppers and lumbermen, but every
branch of business in the city feels II
and confidence is again restored. Every
body feels better when the great Ana
conda plant is in operation, because il
employees more men than any OF thu
other big companies.
The company's mines during thu
shutdown, went under a thorough over
hauling, as far as timbering is concerned
At the Anaconda mine alone, 40 tim
bermen were on the payroll during thu
shutdown. The mines % said to b'
in a better and safer coma. ion than ever
All the shafts OF the principal mine'
have been retlmbered from top to bot
tom.
