LIKE A DIR ,wSY DAY.
The Lawyers had Session of
Work


Work.
MIssoULA, March SIT seemed like n
drowsy summer day in tho district court
room to-day. Doors and windows were
wide open and the warm breeze that lazily
drifted through had n smack of June in it
rs il entered. Ii issued from the opposite
windows, however, freighted with the le-
gal phrases and smooth tones of Attorney
Sufi's argument or else waited down to
the yard below the more stirring language
of Hall Corbctt, as the two argued before
Judge Woody tine case of Mcclure VS..
Houston, which was continued from the
earlier part of the present term of court
until the jury should have been dismissed.
The occupants of the court room not ac-
lively engaged settled comfortably back in
their chairs and listened to the case as il
progressed. Judge Woody reserved his
decision.
In the court this morning County Attor-
ney Dixon, representing the county of
Missoula in the suit which Deputy Clerk
of the Court Hall brought against tho
county for two months salary, confessed
judgment and Mr.. Hall will get the money
for which he has waited so long. The
commissioners refused TO issue a warrant
for Mr.. Halls salary for these two months,
as they had previously issued an order for
the reduction of the office force of the
clerk of the court and wanted Mr.. Hall
discharged. County Attorney Dixon said
that he had investigated the matter and
had come to the conclusion that Mr.. Hall
was entitled TO receive salary for tho two
months in question, and the court ordered
that n warrant be drawn for tho amount
of the claim. Judge Reeves appeared for
Mr.. Hall.
In the two suits of Marshall d Corbett
against the county, for $500 attorney fees
for services as special prosecutors in tho
cases of the state against Mary Glenn and
Patrick Mason, an agreement was entered
into between the county and the plaintiffs
by which the money is to be paid on con-
sideration of the promise of Marshall q
Corbett TO appear in the cases If they
come up before the supreme court. Judge
Reeves, as attorney for Marshall & Cor
bett, became a party to this agreement,
and the money will be paid at once.

HE GIVES HIS REASONS
The Story of a Debt in Deer Lodge

Get Together and Hold
Session.

MIssoULA, March S.-Col. Tom Irvine
of Hamilton spent last night in the city,
and during the evening he fell in with
Uncle Bill Berry. AS usual, when these
meetings occur, there was a discussion of
old times and n comparison between the
days of '65 and the year '95. In speaking
of the hard times that have prevailed for
the past two years, Colonel Irvine said /:
money may be scarce and collections
hard, but don't believe that collections
are any harder TO make now than they
were IN some instances in tho old gold
dust days. ] know of bills that yet re-
main unpaid that were contracted in Deer
Lodge 30 years ago"
Mr.. Berry agreed with the colonel, but
there were some dissenters in tho audi
ence and TO convince them Colonel Irvine
scld the following story of n Deer Lodge
firm:
1T was back in '65 or 'GG. / think, and
Charlie Bielenberg was running a butcher
shop in Deer Lodge. lie had n customer
who was running a boarding house. whose
account ran along until it amounted to
over 500. Then the man went out OF
business and Bielenberg had hard strug-
giles with him over that bill. He offered
TO discount it % per cent, but il was not
paid and then he offered to cut il IN two.
He was still unable to get any money on
il and was in despair over the matter.
Ono day he drove down TO the house of
his delinquent debtor and talked over the
matter with him. They were standing
near the barn and from where they were
they could see big black SOW that was
snufIlng about in a pen not far away.
I'll tell you what I'll do said Blelenberg.
I'll give you a recelpted bill if you'll give
me that black SOW. l need pork in tho
market
"The man who owed the bill looked Mt
the hog for some time. Then he said:
That's more than the SOW is worth, of
course, but, I'll tell you, she's been in the
family so long that / hate to part with
her, That settled it. Bielenberg never
tried to collect that bill again and don't
think that il was ever paid"
The colonel then cast a triumphant
glance at the disscnters, who promptly
wilted. Then he ordered drink. He
had demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that times haven't much effect upon men
who don't want to pay their bills.

Bonner. As he reached point opposite
a row OF houses where some of the Bonner
lumbermen live, he saw n little child rise
up from the end Of the ties just in front
of the engine. IL had been sleeping there
in the sunshine, and the noise Of the train
awakened it. An instant later the second
child appeared, apparently climbing over
the first. il all happened in a twiukling,

The Eject of Free Silver Coinage Upon
Workingmen's Wages.
One Of the most important questions,
In connection with the present none
tary discussion going on all over the
country is the effect that free silver
coinage, if adopted, will have upon the
workmen.
Col Josiah Patterson, the southern
congressman and orator who has been
investigating the silver question with
reference to wages, writes that he il
prepared to assert, from q careful study
Of the consular reports of the govern
meut, that there is not silver country
on the globe where laboring man il
paid a good wage for days work.
This is the test of human progress"
continues Col. Patterson. labor is
the rock on which civilization is build
ed. 1t is the very groundwork of So
ciety. A days work is the true unit Of
value. When you test the advance
ment of people, their prosperity and
happiness, inquire how much will q
days work buy; how much gold, how
much silver, how much clothing, how
much food, how much of the necessi-
ties and Injuries Of life? When you
find that government where days
work possesses the greatest rurchas-
ing power, there you will find the gov.
eminent of greatest advancement.
Why. some of our popuiist friends
point to Mexico as a prosperous coun-
try. The truth is that Minister Ro-
nero of that country in his letter to
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, says that
no greater wage Is paid now than was
paid when silver had twice the pur-
chasing power. Whenever you see q
prosperous business in Mexico it il
based on the robbery of labor.
1.-THE tables in my possession, made
up from consular reports in the state
show that q laboring man
in the United States gets for days
work twice as much in gold as labor
ing man in Mexico gets in silver, and
the American laborer's dollar has near
ly twice the purchasing power of the
Mexican's. 1t will not do TO attribute
this altogether TO the fact that we
are highly civilized and commercial
country, because when you compare
Mexico, q silver country, with Cuba, d
gold country, both being Spanish, you
will find that alaborer in Cuba gets more
for days work in gold than the same
laborer gets in Mexico in silver. Com
pare England with Russia and reduce
the Russian currency to gold basis
you will find that laboring man in
England gets nearly three times as
much for a days work as he gets in
Russia. 20 beyond the limits of Chris
tian civilization and compare Turkey,
a heather gold country, with China,
heather silver country; reduce the sill
yer money in China to gold and you
will find that q laborer in Turkey gets
about three times as much for days
work as he does in China"
The above dataare supported and sup
plemented by the consular report Of
the state department for September,
which shows that men toll longest ia
countries where silver is the currency
basis.

"No," replied Frank.
"Well," said Miss Marjorie, II am
not going to try to make you. You
may do just as you choose about it."
After pause she went on: do you
remember that girl / told you about
who went into the arena and let the
lions eat her up and wouldn't say she
didn't believe in God?"
''Yes," replied Frank; ''she was
brave"
"But the people in the amphitheater
thought she was wicked and silly
YES" said Frank, land that made
it all the harder for her to hold out /
tell you, she was brave one to let

But did it make her any happier to
be brave?" asked Miss Marjorie.

than happy. I'd like something very,

II am sure. Frank" replied Miss
Marjorie, that you could stand a very

Frank flushed with pleasure at these
words.

you to do than to bear whipping. /
don't know whether you would have

What is it?" asked Frank, eagerly.

''If," said Miss Marjorie, "when the
scholars all come in, you should say
before them all that you had decided
to be good, they might laugh at you
afterward, and say you had to give up
after all, and that you weren't so brave
as you thought you were. You see
this would be very hard thing for
you to do; but it is brave to do right
when it's hard"
'Oh, Miss Marjorie, can't do that"
said Frank, his eyes filling with tears.

That Which Will he Best for the Work.
inGman.
The abundance of silver makes it
cheap in comparison with gold, and .
sixteen to one dollar of standard
weight and fineness is worth only
half as much as the gold dollar Of
specified weight. Gold is the founda-
ton of any currency. 1t is not neces-
sary to have enough go around" 1t
is necessary that the government shall
be able to make every dollar. silver or
paper, ''as good as gold" and that
would be impossible with free sill
yer coinage, for we should then have
two kinds of metal dollars, and by an
infallible law, the cheaper would
drive out the dearer. Then our cur
rency would be degraded to the fifty
cent-dollar level, and who would be
the gamer? Certainly not any indus
trious person working hard for what
he could get and then being compelled
to take pay in currency which had
lost half its purchasing power.
We want the best money that can be
issued. We want 1t for the poor man
as well as for the rich. In fact, the
poor man is more vitality affected than
the rich one. 1t is of supreme impor-
lance to the poor man that the dollars
which he earns shall be of the sound
est character, and therefore of the best
purchasing power. The rich man has
larger means, and can better afford
any risk of depreciation. The distress
to which our correspondent refers may
be due to the absence of money. but it
is not because of the deterioration in
the character Of money, and 1t is more
than useless to argue that ''more
money!" however inferior, like the
ffty-cent silver dollar, would mend
matters. In order to get money men
must have something to give in ex-
change for it-labor or produce-and
when they make the exchange 1t is to
their interest to have the money the
soundest and best that can be secured
and the best money is and will con-
tinue indefinitely to be that which is
based on the worlds standard of value,
gold. Troy Times
