THE AFTERGlOW.

When behind the far-off mountains
Sinks the sun to nightly rest.
Then the clouds that yelled its brightness
Idly lie along the west;
Each one tipped with rosy splendor.
Which the noontide never knew,
And the afterglow so tender,
Lights afar the dome of blue.
When life's woes, and cares, and blessings
Human hearts have known and bore
Till the years that are behind them
Number more than those before,
II these lives are full and rounded,
As Christians life should be,
And the fruits of Gods own spirit
Deck the autumn-tlnted tree.
VIII there not be joy and gladness
Youth and manhood never know?
Peace that passeth understanding
Is The heavenly afterglow.

The Montana Reporter is edited
in Butte, by n of those benighted
individuals who never see the sun
unless it is pointed out to them; and
even then they sometimes doubt its
existence. In his last issue he ev-
p~ostulates upon the greatness of
Butte, and then names the "three
great camps of Montana" as, Butte
Basin and Lump. This last he says
''must take it's chances with the Deer
Lodge camps and those of the Big
hole"
Here is your great wise man who
can look into the ground and tell
miners and investors where to spend
their money and time. He knows
it all, and will dish it up for you in
allopathic doses at the low pride of
a subscription. He knows hat Mel
hart is not n of the three, and yet
we presume that he knows Neihart
is in Montana. One would expect
first to see a big exodus from Nei-
hart upon the publication of this sage
statement, even though the camp is
producing in the' neighborhood of
5000 tons of ore monthly. But the
probable result will be people will
take the writer for a consummate ass
who has just lately seen his whiskers
for the first time.

Mckinley on Silver.

VIM. E. Curtis, the correspondent
of the Chicago Record, has inter-
viewed the Hon. Joseph Medill at
Thomasville, Ga, in reference to
Major Mckinley's presidential chan
ces. Mr.. Medill thinks that McKin-
ley is in some respects a very strong
candidate. Much public curiosity
exists to know the Majors views on
the silver question. In his speeches
he has fought rather shy of that sub
ject, and so far as known has not
definitely committed himself. Me-
dills statement Of what he believes
to be Mckinley's views, therefore,
is not without interest. "Judging
from my conversations with him."
says Medill, "Gov. Mckinley recog-
nizes that the silver question will
occupy a larger measure of thought
and discussion during the next cam
paign than the tariff, and that the
Republicans will have to be more
firm and decisive on that point than
they have been. He see that a re-
turn to a double standard in the
United States without the cooper
alton and concurrence of the Euro
pean nations, would be disastrous to
our cmmesce and other industries,
and he will hold up the flag for
sound money!"
Mr.. Medill is what our Populist
friends would call a "gold bug" and
it is possible that he may have dec
Grated Gov. McKinley's expressions
with a few yellow tints Of his own.
The general impression is that Nc
kinley is inclined to favor free silver
coinage, with or without European
cooperation. However, it would be
unfair to assume this to be a fact
without direct authorization from
him. The governor should define
his position.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Germany, dated March Is, to the

the majority in favor of their view
was greater than in the recent vote

Another c%ablegram of the same
date adds: The Council of State

Hohenlohe's monetary statement in

THE HERALD with hundreds of
men of all parties, has watched at
tentively for some expression from
Major Mckinley as to his position on
the great financial question, and only
lately has anything appeared which
bore upon the question. 1t is a fact
plainly stated that on a free silver
platform, Mckinley, with his broad
American ideas, is unequivocally the
choice of the people for president in
1896. On the gold platform he will
lose many followers from the rank
and file of his party.
In today's issue we publish a
statement from the illustrious Joe
Medill of Chicago, and also one
from the Minneapolis Tribune. The
former says he isn't and the latter
says he is. The statements conflict,
and leave the public as much as ever
in the dark. The suggestive side of
the discussion is the fact that gold
bugs are themselves growinganxious
as to where the great leader will
take them. The peculiar reticence
of the nan only bears out our former
suggestion that Mckinley is not go
ing to cross the bridge until he
reaches it. And in that silence there
is a wisdom which friends and enc.
mics admire. Mckinley is not com
PEELED to state his position thus early

mar so ultra-American as he can be
other than a silver man. And it is
certain we shall all know in due
course Of time; for Mckinley has the
frmness to say what he believe.

How to Locate a Mine,

To make a quartz location after
July l, the prospector must sink a
hole at least ten feet deep to solid
formation; must have at least one
we'll defined wall, and must stake
his ground so that the stakes Ear be
found. The notice of location must
be placed in a conspicuous place at
the discovery shaft, where it can be
seen-not on some stump or tree in
the neighborhood. He is allowed
ninety days to do this work. If he
r~elocates an old prospect hole, he is
required to sink it at least ten feet
deeper than when he first found it,
and stake and record his location the
same as though it was an original
discovery. If he runs a tunnel it
msst be at least ten feet long, so as
to determine the fact that a vein
supposed to carry the precious met
ais has been discovered.

lT is lamentable that Neihart.

both trained and unframed, has not
a brass band. Here are men and
instruments. With a little recruit
ing and organizing work, the i%nstitu-
ton would be on its feet. a band of
seventeen pieces could be organized
in a day. True it is that no special
encouragement has lately been offer
ed by the citizens, except, perhaps to
employ the band on July 4th at half
pay, but it would be sad indeed to
see the boom strike this place with
out a brass band to give it a recep-
ton. Great Falls has set a very
enterprlslng pattern for our people
by lately starting a band of thirty
nine pieces, the largest band in the
state.

From the Enemy's Camp.

There is refreshments for the agri-
cnlturalist, the day laboror, the com
mon citizen in general, in the con-
temptation of such earnest work as
is deing done in behalf of bimetall-
ism by the Mercury and the Record
er, two of the leading newspapers of
New York. A late number of the
Mercury fired hot shot at the gold
bugs in the following approved fash
ion:
ave shall have b~imetallism in
this country a great deal sooner than
your average "gold bug thinks.
The demonstration of silver was
the crime of the nineteenth century,
and its baneful effects will be felt
until silver is remonetized.
30 long as a given quantity of
silver could be exchanged for the
same mount of money as another
given quantity of gold, such given
quantities were always equal in val
ne.
The United States must have more
money.
Why not use silver?
If England owned our mines of
silver she would protect silver as she
now protects her gold.
In a talk with Edward Pierrepont
had with Baron Rothchild, March 4,
1877, the latter said that a bimetallic
currency is more stable than a mon
ometallic currency"
While the cause of bimetallism is
advancing abroad, nothing can be
lost by keeping up the fight at
home. The Recorder is doing battle
nobly and it's reward will be great.

THERE are several aspirants for
the office of game warden for this

today who will receive the appoint

too often bestowed upon some care

trampled upon with impunity, If
Meagher county needs a game

SKIRTS FOR MEN,
A Chicago Woman's Idea of Dress
Reform for Males.

DIR. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, one
of the best-known physicians in Chi
cage, has made a unique suggestion
regarding the dress reform move
ment. She would put men in skirts.
In an interview advocating women's
skirts reaching only to the ankles.
declaring sweeping skirts spread
disease, notably the bacillios tuber-
culosis from expectorations in the
cars and streets, she said:
"By the way, there is not a single
graceful line in masculine attire.
For my part, | believe men would
look better if they would wear skirts.
In fact, men did wear skirts in the
long ago. When men wear short
skirts on the stage, how much more
graceful they appear. In fact, ]
think a change in mems attire is to
be commended, and nothing would
be more graceful for evening wear
than knee breaches. Harriet Hosmer
CALI our statues sbetrousered obit-
uaries,' and | think she is about
right"
