INTERNATIONAL BfMETALLISM

1t will pay some of our theorists who so
glibly eulogi1e "the single gold standard"
to observe the signs of the times abroad
as well as at home.-Boston Globe.
German statesmen are making great
progress toward international bimetallism
and may now be ranked among the most
enthusiastic advocates of that idea.-Pits-
burg Dispatch.
1t is generally believed that a new par
liamentary election at this time or in the
near future would result in the return of
a greater number of members favoring
International bimctallism than can be
counted in the present house of commons.
Minneapolis Times.
The silver campaign has reached the
Pennsylvania legislature. Members of
that body have taken the unusual course
of asking Charles II. Clark of Phla-
delphia (the same man who has spoken
twice on silver i'm this city,, to address
them on the subject, and Charles Emory
Smith will later speak to them in oppose
ton to silver. Springfield Republican.
As to the currency, it would be hazard
Gus to predict what legislation, if any,
will come from a congress constituted as
the satin will be. But as regards silver,
two things are becoming increasingly clear.
One is that the only hope of securing a
wider use of silver without incurriug the
gravest peril lies through an International
arrangement.-Boston Journal.
If enthusiasm, or conviction, or logic, or
common sense is allowed a voice in the
restoration of silver it will be restored.
The ranks of the free silverites are re-
ceiving accessions from the thinking
masses every day. Men need the white
metal in their commercial intercourse.
They need 1t, if for no other reason. be-
cause il measures the dimes and dollars
of our money system.-Grand Rapids Her
aid.
The best business sence of this country
and of most foreign countries, is enlisted
IN favor of international bimetallism.
That is the goal toward which all should
aim. Premature action by the United
States in shouldering the whole burden of
sustaining the value of silver through
the adoption of free and unlimited coin
age would in all likelihood postpone inter-
national action.-Minneapol Tribune.
Bimetallism is evidently growing in
Gus and influential statesmen have de-
clared themselves as ready to entertain
the proposition for n fixed ratio between
the two metals among the great powers.
1t would seem that under these conditions
it should not be difficult to arrive at an
understanding among the principal ma
tons on this subject, especially as much
progress in the right direction has lately
been made in England. York Mail

nearly SO many issues are involved as
in the municipal elections on the fol-

the only questions TO be taken into
account are the qualifications of the

public school system and their desire
TO see it preserved inviolate from the

That business is gradually improv-
ing in the country at large is an as
sured fact. One of the evidences of
a better condition of affairs is the
favorable showing made by the weekly
bank clearance sheets. Another sign
is the report of increased freights car
ried by the railroads, which means
greater activity in trade. Still an
other indication of reviving business
is furnished by the office of the super
vising architect of the treasury at
Washington. The statement is made
that the contractors are stiffening
their bids on government work all
over the country. owing to thu fact
that both Building material and wages
are advancing in price. 1t is believed
TO be a fact that labor is better en-
ployed than at any time during the
past two years.

England's Latest Strike.

There is another great strike in
England, that of the shoemakers, and
thousands of operators are being
thrown out of work. Ole of the most
curious features of this strike is the
fact, as asserted, that it is occasioned
chiefly by American competition. The
Shoe and Leather Record of London
says that the chief trouble is that the
labor union is DESTROYS of laying down
rules limiting the output of the ma
chinery in the shops, thus restricting
the amount of work that can be done
by any given machine. The editor
says that the English. shoe manufac-
turers cannot afford to stand a re-
been demonstrated over and over
again that in America, where the
same machinery is used, boots can be
made at far less cost per pair than
in England, although the American
workman is paid almost double as
much per week for his services. He
goes on TO say: 1--WE are now threat
ened with American competition, and
all that English manufacturers want
to do is to be able to run their ma
chinery at the same rate as the Ameri-
cans run theirs, and they are willing to
pay even move than the wages which
are paid in America. To this proDosi-
tion the meG will not listen. They
have got the mistaken idea into their
heads that by limiting the output of
machinery, and thus increasing the
cos. per pair, they increase their own
wages"
Ii this is truthful statement of the
case, the English operatives are stand
ing IN their own light, and the quicker
they realize it the better for them
and the worse for the American manu-
facturers

cause it is unconstitutional, being in

The first general election to be held
in 1895 will take place on Wednesday
in the state of Rhode Island. a full
state ticket and legislature are to be
chosen. The electors VIII also pass
upon constitutional amendment pro-
viding that the state elections here

attained by the experiment of placing
nearly 1000 poor families on vacant

hands OF COMMITTEES, which secured
the use of vacant ground aggregating
430 acres and placed this at the dis

Butte can be entrusted to no better or
safer hands. Both these candidates,
we understand, are Protes.ants, but
no suspicion of UNCONVENTIONAL pre-
JUDGE attaches to either They do not
belong to class of people, small in
numbers and small in intellect, whose
first and last inquiry about a man is
whether he is Methodist, a Baptist, a
Catholic, or a Presbyterian. Because
the citizens candidates are too broad
minded, too good Americans, too good
Christians to join the American Pro-
tective association, the members of
that order are fighting them with
their characteristic energy and zeal
and passion and prejudice.
The occasion demands that all good.
intelligent citizens of Butte, regard
less of creed, color, business or politi-
cal affiliations, should unite in sup
port of the citizens school
ticket and triumphantly elect it.
There is common platform for all
such to stand upon--that of malice

name, it appeals to the love of liberty
and fair play so dear to the American
heart. Lei the facts be known. Let
it be understood that the A. Z. A. has
nominated straight ~ i. A. ticket
in opposition to the citizens ticket,
not because the citizens ticket is in
any sense whatever a Catholic ticket,
not that there is any fault at all legiti-
mately to be found with the citizens
ticket, but for no other reason under
heaven than the simple one that the

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST.
MONDAY, APRIL /, 1895.

The city of st. Louis is working
along some original lines of municipal
reform. She has appointed number
OF distinguished business and profess
sional men TO act as judges and clerks
of her coming municipal election. In
most cities the election judges and
clerks are picked from ward politi-
clans, and the returns are not always
free from suspicion. Il is a new de-
capacity, but the experiment COM
mends itself. The failure of the bust
ness elements TO take an active con-
troll of city affairs is the chief cause of
municipal scandal in the large cities.

A case not dis'imilar to one that
was disposed of in Butte recently, al
though much more flagrant, came up
before Judge Grosscup, of Chicago a
day or two ago. The judge had before
him two men convicted of selling OBJ
scene literature The crime has been
a common one in Chicago, as indeed
it is in most cities, and the Judge be-
fore whom the men were brought for
sentence was thoroughly convinced
that they were guilty. lie addressed
them as follows: You are vipers and
your crime is second only to murder.
l would rather that arattlesnake came
into my house and crawled into my
child's couch than to have your vile
literature carried to him" He then
sent one to the penitentiary for three
and the other for five. The judges
language was strong but nobody will
find fault with il.
