some Of the glazing absurdities of the
bill, and bis reference to the exchange
of fraternal courtesies between the
people of Great Falls and Lethbridge

have gone a little farther in the line of
illustrations, but as he did not, THE
TRIBUNE will supply the omission. A

ment the company has a handsome cal
endar, on which is an American flag and
an English flag and English coat-of-
arms. These are hung in different bust
ness houses, yet under the terms Of the
K%nippenberg bill, as it passed the com
mittee of the whole, the owners Of the
premises in which these advertisements
are displayed are liable to a fine. Thie
is a fact and goes to show how foolish
the bill 10 and to furnish a sufficient
reason for it's being shelved.

HARD HIT FOR GOLD.

A report is current in Washington
that Postmaster General Bissell is anx-
ious to resign but is held in his position
at the urgent request of the president.
After reading the recent debates in con-
gress and noticing the fate of the adj
ministration bond bill one would be led
to think that the president or Secretary
Carlisle or both would be anxious to
step down and out. That they have not
signiiied any such intention shows that
the gentlemen are still of the opinion
that with the aid Of their bosses, the
bankers, they may yet accomplish
thing for the benefit of tIe goldbugs.
1t must however be a forlorn hope for
the decisive and non-partisan vote by
which the bond issue was shelved even
after it had been amended, proves that
congress has made up it's mind not to
submit to further dictation in financial
matters from Wall stree and its agents,
no matter how high an official position
the latter may occupy. While this &C
ton may prevent needed legislation dur
ing the present session the people of the
country are to be congratulated on the
Il majority of their legislators have

A GOLD ISSUE.

The ways and means committee of the
house Of representatives mas decided to
recommend a bill authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to sell bonds to the
amount of 500, 1lG,375, the proceeds to
be placed to the credit OF the reserve
fund and not to be used for the current
expenses of the government. They are
to be gold bonds and carry 3 per cent
interest.
This resolution is a conc ssion on the
part of a majority of the committee in
order to meet an emergency, but it is
doubtful whether it can pass the house.
The measure docs not exactly meet the
views or expectations Of the administra-
ton, but it was the best that it could
got and it will be satisfied if the bill be-
comes a law. We do not care particu
larly about tho $50, 100000, but do won
der what will become of the 1915. That
Is getting a bond issue down to rather
close figures.

MOTT Err SETBACK,

On the telegraphic page of THE
Tribune this morning will be found the
full text of the latest special message of
the president to congress and also a
short notice of its consideration in the
ways and means committee of the house.
The message, like all the other communi-
cations of Mr.. Cleveland upon finance, is
simply in the nature of a special plea for
the goldbugs. 1t is a realfirmation of
his oft expressed opinion in favor of the
gold standard and his dogmatic deter
mination to defy the will of the people
and of congress in maintaining that
opinion, no matter what the conse-
quences. The action of the committee.
however, shows that be has once more
run up against a snag and that his views
will not be concurredi n if the committee
can prevent it and it probably can. II will
be- noticed in this connection that the
message was referred to the ways and
means instead of to tn banking and
currency committee, where the other
propositions vent and where this one
properly belonged, This change of base
may have been made at the instance of
Mr.. Cleveland in the hope that Chair
man v iison Of the ways and means COM
mittee miz ht prove a better general than
had Springer of the banking and cur
rency. and he may also have had a ling
ering suspicion that Tom Reed, who is a
member, would suggest a plan in the
shape of a compromise that would be ac-
ceptable to the republicans and
would thus get the administration out of
its dilemma. But he was doomed to dis
appointment. Mr.. Wilson was no more
equal tothe emergency than was Springer,
and Mr.. Reed cooley declined to be
used as a paw with which to pull the
Cleveland chestnuts out Of the fire. The
emergency still exists, but those who are
watching the course of events will OBJ
serve that the emergency has served a
purpose. When Mr.. Cleveland asked
for a 500, 100000 gold loan the treasury
reserve had been depleted by Wall
street until there was only a little over
s4O,0OO,OO0 in the fund and the cry was
that it would soon be exhausted and
there would be a panic unless there was
immediate relief. Congress smashed the
$50O,0O0,OO0 proposition and the president
at once comes to the front with the dec
laration that he will borrow $50, 900, 1000
to replenlsh the reserve. In the mean.
time Wall street has suddenly ceased it's
demand for gold and the $%4O,OOO,OOO re-
mains intact. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. An absolute exhaustion of the
treasury gold might have precipitated
a panic and the money kings dare not go
to that length. They were only cry ing
"Wolf!' when they knew there Was no
wolf. But they have been halted.
There must and will be relief, but it will
such as congress in obedience to the will
of the people will afford. and not such
as is dictated by the goldbug sharks.
For a time they will take a back seal.

On Tuesday there were fourteen billie
introduced in the house of delegates to
amend the codes. This is only a be.
ginning. In the meantime the codes
have been enrolled and will become q

The question is, why, if all these amend
ments are necessary, were the codes &c
hastily adopted, and why should they
be signed by the governor in their pres
ent known faulty condition. 1t is q
remarkable species of legislation.

the building and therefore the claim has
a sound and legitimate standing in equity.
No matter what criticism may be offered
on the acts of the trustees in regard to
the high school building as far as it has
progressed, there is no reason why their
sins thould be visited upon those who
furnished the money in good faith. The
people of this school district can hardly
be accused of wanting to rob the bank
or anyone else, and it is safe to say that
if the bill Is properly drawn and guarded
there lie no objection on thor part to its
passage.

Senator Sherman, who ought to know,
said in the senate a few days ago that il
the loan al authorized, and made q
popular loan, and issued in small de
nominations it would be subscribed for
by the people Of this country within
three days. In making this statement
he referred TO the immense sums held
by the savings banks. If Mr.. Sherman
vas correct why does he insist with the
president on the gold basis for bonds?
Why not make them ~'coin?" The de-
p%ositors in the savings banks do not ask
mol receive gold for their interest or
principal, and they would surely not be
more ~exacting with the government than
with the bonds.

This bill is for the relief of the North.
western National bank of Great Falls,
which institution made a conditional
purchase Of school bonds and advanced
a large sum of money only to discover
that the issue was illegal. The easiest
remedy the purchaser has is by an act Of
the legislature. 1t is not disputed that
the money was advanced by the bank

The scheme OF MI. Shropshire to create
a temporary supreme court for Montana
has a bad look. II the three presen,
justices cannot catch up with the docket
and keep it clean additional Judges
should be provided. The idea of ap-
pointing temporary judges and giving
them authority to hear and dispose o.
important cases that are pending is
repugnant to the American idea of the
judiciary. There should be a permanent
increase OF the supreme bench or none
at all.

CHANCE To

The flag bill has not yet been con
sidered in the state senate and when it
reaches that body there will be several
chances for patriotic senators to dis.
tlnguish themselves. One of these is an
amendment to prohibit the teaching of
any language but the English in any of
the schools or colleges, public OF private,
in Montana. There is no good reason
why this should not be done. The
teaching Of a foreign language in the
schools perpetuates the love of birth
place among foreign born children moe
than does the sight Of the flag of their
country, and among a certain class of
Americans the learning of these foreign
languages breeds a desire on the part of
the pupil to look with contempt not
only on his own language, but upon the
land of his nativity. 1t may be that such
ar amendment would not find favor
because the Irish language is not taught
ia the schools, but then the flag law
was general in it's terms and its authors
and supporters say it was not aimed at
the American Irish.

MINERAL LAND BILL.

The mineral land bill had another
hearing in the United States senate yes
terday. In order that Senator German
might be accommodated, the vote by
which the bill was passed was recon
sidered and several amendments added.
The nature Of the amendments are not
given in the press dispatches, but they
could not have been of a seriously an
tagonistic nature, for they were agreed
to by the senators and representative
from Montana and also by Mineral Land
Commissioner Irwin, who is in Washing
ton. The measure now goes into con-
ference committee and if the conferces
on the part Of the house are half as
friendly as are those of the senate it
will in a few days only need the sigma
ture of the president to make it a law.
The anti-railroaI fight is bearing fruit
in congress, and to this sentiment are
we in a great measure indebted for the
passage of the act that is freighted with
so much Importance to the people of
Montana. Now let a close watch be
kept on the agents of the Northern Pa
citic in the departments, the courts and
legislatures and all will be well, but
bear in mind they need watching. The

1t now looks as though the school
book question would be settled without
any very material change. The promi-
nent educators of tho state are at Hell
ena and have given very pronounced
opinions on the subject to the legisla-
tors. In the main they agree that with
but few exceptions the text books now
in use are good enough and should be
continued. If their advice is needed,
and there is no reoson why it should not
be, pupils, teachers, and parents will be
especially grateful.
