Things Left Undone.

Next Monday, the fourth day of
March, will bring the fifty-third con
gress to its close. This congress. with
its immense democratic majority, came
into power on a national platform
that said: 1--WE hold for the use of
| both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and for the coin
age of both gold and silver without
discrimination against either metal or
charge for mintage.' 1t was proposed
in the platform TO bring about silver's
restoration either by international
agreement ''or by such safeguards of
legislation as shall insure a mainte-
nance of parity of the two metals. e"
The conference at Brussels had come
To nothing; II remained for the demo-
cratic majority TO take the other alter
native and try the safeguards of home
legislation. Whether the members of
the majority were competent to pro-
vide the legislative safeguards. is not
known-competent, we mean, from
the standpoint of disinterested knowl-
edge of the money question. The fact
remains that not a thing has been
done, and the reason for il is that a
national executive department utterly
hostile to silver has been able to con-
troll enough of the democratic ma
Jority TO prevent any action favorable
TO silver.
Now that an incompetent and disap-
pointing congress is coming to its last
gasp, some of silver's friends who are
members of the house propose TO issue
an address 20 the people of the United
States setting forth the merits of the
cause of free coinage, commencing il
TO the people and warning the con-
stituencies against men who, it is
said, propose to warp the political
events of the coming year in the in
terest of the gold clique.
1t is well enough: every friend of
silver ought Ia. support any movement
that IS backed by silver's tried and
true friends in congress. At the same
time, an eleventh-hour address 10 the
democrats of the United states will
not atone for the sins of congress-
which was elected, beyond the shadow
OF doubt, on the proposition that the

The Mines Up North.


More than two months ago the
STANDARD told of the effort which was
making in British Columbia for law
to prohibit alien ownership of mines
in that province. This page predicted
that the plan would receive favor ih
Ottawa and Victoria; it has. The
other day the chief magistrate of the
province of British Columbia gave his
approval to law, adopted by the To-
cal Legislature, making it unlawful for
any alien. unless he declares his inten-
tion of becoming a British subject, 10
hold any mineral claim by location,
and unless such location was made
prior to the passage of this act. In
the light of previous legislation of a
very similar character, which was
passed by the legislature of the prov
ince of Ontario and declared ultra
wires by the supreme court of the do
minion, it is just possible that our
neighbors in the Pacific coast prov
ince may not be able to make this law
stick. But in any event the federal
authorities at Ottawa are in sympathy
with the spirit of this legislation and,
as the STANDARD pointed out some
weeks ago, the plan is to give the mat
ter consideration in the house of COM
mons.
This is serious blow at the pros
perity of the British Kootenai The
mineral wealth of that region re-
mained unknown until American
money and American enterprise dis
covered and developed it. The big
mines north of the line, that now sup
port prosperous towns, would still
have been at best mere prospects but
for the American miner who went in
there and revealed the treasures of the
hills. There would not have been a
developed mine in all that region to-
day but for American capital that
built railroads into the country. Rich
as the Kootenai mines are not one of
them would pay profit over the enor-
nous cost of rawhiding the ore to the
front.
1t is, of course, entirely within the
province of the people of Canada to
prohibit alien ownership of mineral
lands; taking into consideration the
fact that her coal mines in Nova
Scotia, her nickel mines around Sud-
bury, her copper mines along the
northern shores of the great lakes, and
her silver and lead and gold mines
west of the Rockies never would have
amounted to anything but for foreign
capital, we regard the present course
of our neighbors as very short-sighted,
to say the least OF course the pass
age of this law Will not affect the title
to claims already owned in that coun-
try by foreigners. Jealousy of Amer
lean success has not yet inspired the
subjects of Queen Victoria with de-
sire to confiscate the property of the

The movement for the rescue of the
mineral lands of Montana from the
grasp of a railroad ring was formally
inaugurated about nine years ago.
The importance of the issue was every.
where recognized, yet it was not an
easy matter to enlist the active help
of a large number of people. A min
eral-land convention was held in 1889,
the year of the constitutional conven-
tion. On that occasion some men who
ought to have been ardent defenders
of the peoples interests threw cold
water on the movement However, in
season and out of season, the fight has
been kept up. TIE result is a complete
victory for the people; yesterday Presi-
dent Cleveland signed the bill for the
examination and classification of the
mineral lands Of Montana and Idaho.
Now, if the provisions of the new law
are honestly carried out by competent
men, great benefit to the people of
Montana will come of ii.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2s, 1895.
The First Resignation.

There had been rumors out to the
effect that Postmaster General Bissell
proposed to resign, but these were
supposed TO be unfounded. For once
however, the gossips had the right of
it; Mr.. Bissell's resignation went to the
president yesterday.
There need be little speculation re-
garding the motive that prompted the
resignation of the postmaster general
1T is the first cabinet change that has
occurred during the second Cleveland
administration. In his admirable
annual report of last December, Mr.
Bissell submitted several busi-
nesslike suggestions relating to i'm
provements in the postal service
Some of these suggestion were utterly
ignored by the members of congress,
others of them were passed upon in an
unfriendly way. Yesterday the house
concurred in senate amendments which
manifestly had politics in view and
not at all the good of the service.
This country is afflicted with a con-
gress of incompetents; the one satis-
faction is that it is so near its end: the
STANDARD is a democratic newspaper.
Meanwhile it can be said that Mr..
Bissell has managed the vexing busi-
ness of his department in a manner
that reflects upon him eminent credit:
his record in cabinet service will be
complimented throughout the country
as the news of his resignation spreads.
There are members of the Cleveland
cabinet the news of whose withdrawal
the country would accept in spirit of
Christian resignation or even, it may
be, with some sense of satisfaction.
That certainly is true of sentiment
throughout the wide Northwest. But
a feeling of that sort certainly does
not obtain respecting tho retiring
postmaster general; we believe that
his official record will be praised and
that he will be pleasantly mentioned
everywhere by those who desire that
the postal service be run in the inter-
est of all the people.
Whether in the cabinet or out of it.
Mr.. Bissell is always an American
citizen of sturdy patriotism and a
genial gentleman whose friends are
many and whose faults are few. As
far as he is personally concerned. he
can afford to resign, but the fact that
he cuts short his term of service in the
postofiice department is not to the
benefit OF the postal service.

SEE THEM COME,
Even England Waking Up on the Subject
of silver.


of silver.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-Robert L. Everett
liberal, moved in the house of commons
the bimetallic resolution approved on Fri
day last by the parliamentary committee
of the Bimetallic league. Harry Chap
lain, conservative, seconded the resolu.
ton and presented the situation of India
as proving the necessity of an interna.
tional understanding on the subject. He
urged that the government reopen the In
dian mints provided the other powers
opened theirs and to give every facility
for promoting the increase of silver in
England, short of changing her own
standard.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt denied
that the distress in husbandry was due to
the demonstration of silver. There ap-
peared to be an idea that Germany had
changed the opinion which she held with
regard to the gold standard, but he be-
lieved the recent declaration of Prince
Hohenlohe did not amount to anything
OF the kind. AS Everett's motion did not
commit the government to an agreement
in regard to bimetallism he would not OPP
pose the motion. He was unwilling TO
place the currency of the country, upon
which commerce depended, at the mercy
of any foreign nation. He declined to place
the currency of England under the control
of any international committee, adding:
"lf France and Germany or any other
powers wish to combine on the question
they can do SO, but it is not for Great Brit
ain to follow their example,"
Everett's motion was adopted without
division.

Saltese.
MIssoULA, Feb. 27.-Joseph T. Sawhll,
mining expert and champion prevaricator
is in the city from Saltese, where he is at
present engaged in developing the Last
Chance property, in which he is largely in.
terested. He says that the mine is look
ing first-rate and they will make another
shipment of ore in a few days. At pres
ent the only shipments that they are max
ing consist of importations of Bermuda
onions and canned tomatoes, which con.
stitute the bulk of Joe's diet.
There are four men at work in the mine
at prasent-including Joe. When thev
first began work this spring there was a
difference of opinion as to what part of
the work Joe should perform. He wanted
to do the blasting, but Jim Whalen
wouldn't trust him and Joe felt injured.
Jim said they would all feel injured after
Joe fired his first blast. The matter was
finally compromised by assigning Joe to
the duty of pushing cars, for which Jim
said his long railroad experience fitted
him. So now Joe shoves out the ore cars
and brings back the empties and incl
dentally sorts ore and looks after the COM
missary.
Mr.. Sawhill reports that Tom Loughlin
has struck fine body of ore in his mine.
over the hill from the Last Chance, and
that he is developing this property as rap
IDLY as possible.
The store and hotel which Joe recently
purchased Is still closed and will not be
opened until the spring boom wave strikes
Saltese. Then the Hotel Sawhill will be
formally opened and an excursion train
will run from Missoula for the opening.
