Philosophy Of a Rough Nan.

He was poorly dressed and rough in
appearance man, but, nevertheless, he was
something of a philosopher. He was
plodding along Ashland avenue, near Goth
street, when a young man overlook him
and made some inquiries as to a street in
that part of the city. The street was at
least half mile away, so they continued
to tramp along the rough wooden side
walk together,
"'Tain't so long ago" said the rough
man, finally. making a motion toward a
brick pile near the street, "since used to
pile them things for a living
Hard work, | should think suggest
ed the young man for want of something
better to say.
That's what it is.
"And monotonous."
"What?'
Il say it must be monotonous-tire-
some"
ooh, sure" Then, after a pause SOS
everything else"
"Oh, there is variety in some things"
protested the young man.
"If feler doesn't have to do 'em,
there is, returned the other, "but guess
any business is tiresome to the leller that
has got to tend to it right along. knew
a feller that worked in store-regular
hours, regular work and all that. But he
got tired of it. He wanted variety. he
said-wanted to travel and bave a change
all the time. He got the chance aud took
it quick. He was sent here and there and
was on marching orders most of the time
lois of excitement and change, but he
got tired of it. Actually kicked to get
back to his desk again, cause he said
travelling was so blamed monotonous and
tiresome and he wanted a changs. Same
way with everybody, guess. Piling
bricks is mighty hard and tiresome, and
I'm doing better now, but sometimes l
feel as if I'd like to pile bricks again just
for a change. There amt anything that
amt tiresome to the felIer that's got to do
it every day. What's ambition but a
hankering for a change, away. The only
difference between people is that some of
EN- want change so bad that they'll 60
backward to get it, while the others have
sense enough to swear and kick, but hang
on till they can get it going forward. =

Although difficult to believe, it is nev-

sisters, the daughters of the same father,
occurred 10 years apart. The grandfa-
ther of the British Minister, Chas. james
Fox, married in 1864, and had a daugb-
ter born to him IN 1865, who died in the
course Of the same year. He had several
other children, who grew up and married,
but all Of them died before their father,
aud without issue Sir Stephen, not wish
lug his large fortune to fall into the hands
of distant relatives, married again at a
very advanced age, and bis youngest
daughter was born in 1927. She reached
the age Of 98 years and died in 1925. or,
10 years after the death Of her oldest
sister. She saw Queen Virtoria when the
latter was a child, while her balf-sisler
was carried in the arms Of Oliver Crom-

GERMANY AND SILVER.
Senator Hill of New York has b.

Senator Hill of New York has been
juggling with the silver question for a
long time. lie has taken occasion tc
declare that he is a bimetaIlist both b!
speech and in writing, but thus far,
when it has been a question of votes. he
has been found wanting, The senator
made what he intended to be d conspicu-
Gus silver play on the floor Of the senate
and told what should be done to ad-
vance the cause, but he has not yet got
his courage up 10 the sticking point of
free coinage. 1t was something OF d Co
incidence that while the New York cen
ator was getting upon the right road the
German reichtag was adopting an order
directing the proper authority of that
country to issue an invitation to the na-
tons to hold an international conference
to consider this question of silver. This
is a significant action upon the
part Of Germany and is one of the most
which preceded the order shows that in
the opinion Of its leading statesmen the
time has arrived when the finances must
be ad listed on the basis of bimetalllsm,
and that they are ready to take the adj
vance IN a movement to accomplish the
purpose by International agreement
whether England likes it or not. With
this proposition staring it in the face
there is no reason why the congress Of
the United States should longer hesitate
to enact some sound silver legislation.
AS has always been asserted, the United
States can establish and maintain a
financial policy of it's own without re-
gard to Europe, and it is probable a
knowledge of this fact aud the
belief that action in that direction
was imminent on the part of our govern
ment that influenced the Germans in
their decision. Now is the opportune
time for congress to act. Silver legis-
lation on it's part will at least establish
and will hasten and not retard the pro-
posed international conference. Beyond
this it will give tho representatives of
the government should they attend a
better basis from which to proceed. AS
matters now look all over the world,
if the United States establishes free
coinage at a ratio of Is to l, the other
nations will be compelled to adopt it.
All that is needed is courage on the
part of our legislators.

Bond Message.
HILL WANTS bEMETkluSM
A New York Bank President De-
clares the Bond Syndicate Is
Reapimg Great Profits.

WAsHINGToN. Feb. 16.-1n the senate
today Dubois of Idaho presented a tele-
gram from Phmnly, Arizona, which re-
cited that, at a meeting of republicans of
Arizona, it was unanimously resolved
that the public sentiment of the terri
tory was "uncquivocally in favor Of the
admission of Arizona to statehood at the
present session of congress-" Allen of
Nebraska presented a resolution, which
was agreed to, calling upon the secretary
of the treasury for a list of national
banks which had been the Repositories
of public funds for tho last ten years, in
%terest, terms of contract, otc, Hills
resolution, which announces the policy
of the government on bimetallIsm and
on the payment Of gold obligations in
the best money available, then came up.
Sherman offered a substitute, declaring
that the policy Of the government should
be toward maintaining parity between
the two metals, so that every dollar
coined would be equal to every other
dollar. Should there be any disturbance
in the parity, then bonds should be paid
in standard gold coin. Wolcott moved
to lay tho resolution and substitute On
the table. Hill declared himself an earn
est bimetallist and hoped to see the
restoration of silver succeed. He
was rejoiced to read an Associated
press dispatch just received from Berlin,
announcing that action had been taken
looking toward rehabilitation OF silver.
"'This declaration of policy of the govern
mcnt should receive the support of every
SENATOR" said he, "unless there sits
about the circle a gold monometallist or
silver monometallist 1t is a wise resolu-
ton for the present emergency" Hill
said the declaration was the first an
nounced ae the true policy Of the gov
eminent. Our efforts should be turned
to the accomplishment Of bimetallism.

Leading German Statesmen A re In Favor
Of RimetalliSm.

Leading German Statesmen Are In Favor
of Rimetallism.
BERLIN, Feb. 16.-Count Won Mirbach,
German conservative, introduced a reso-
luton in the reichstag yesterday in
structing the federal government of Ger
many to issue invitations for an interna-
tional monetary congress to take meas
ures to bring about the rehabilitation of
silver as a circulating medium. Mirbach
said the moment had 0 arrived for
Germany to take the initiative IN set
Ting this question, which is of great i'm
portance.
Bimetallism would cause the rise of
all prices in England, where gold was
the currency. Agriculture wonld be
ruined il the present system was main
tanned, America would either absorb
Gormany's gold or adopt a pure silver
standard ard capture the whole eastern
trade.
Other supporters of the resolution en-
dorsed the position that Germany had
taken at the Paris monetary conference
in 1893, namely, that she regarded an
international agreement of q ratio be-
tween gold and silver as desirable.
Count Herbert Bismarck said the
failure of the Brussels conference was
partly due to the absence of an entente
between the powers which took part in
it. The Berlin congress Of 1873 arrived
at that result because Great Britain and
Russia bad previously reached a basis
for an agreement. An international
entente upon the currency question
would be arrived at in the course of time
feeling was growing in favor of bimetal-
lien.
Herr Schoenlank contended that the
introduction of bimetallism would lead
to a fall in the value of currency and
would promise nothing a but hopeless
future to the workingman.
Lieber said the centerists willingly
supported the measure because they saw
in the proposed conference an attempt
to remove the difficulties in regard to
the monetary standard-a question
which vas of paramount Importance to
commerce.
Won Iohenlohe declared that he was
inclined to favorable consideration of
the proposal for an interchange of views
on the subject with those states which
were concerned in the silver question.

HELENA. Feb. 1G.-Shortly after the
converting of the senate today it went
into executive session on motion vi
Leonard. The doors remained closed
for half an hour, and when hey were
opened the president announced that
the senate had refused to confirm the
nomination of G. w. Pomeroy of Great
Falls, to be Judge of the Eleventh
judicial district. The report of the
judiciary committee was against con
hrmation and only two votes were cast
in favor of confirmation. The committee
on public buildings reported a bill
changing the name of the deaf and
dumb school to asylum. The bill also
provides for the expenditure of $4,000
for the asylum, to be derived from the
sale or lease OF lands belonging to it.
The judiciary committee made a
favorable report on the hotel
keepers bill. The same committee
reported favorably Oh the bill regulating
the sale and storage of high explosives
A substitute was reported for the bill in
regard to the redemption of property
sold for taxes. 1t makes the period OF
redemption n year and the rate of in
terest . per cent per month instead of l
per cent, as fixed in the original bill.
The public lands committee reported
the bill providing for the appointment
Of a state land receiver. The committee
fixes tho salary at $1,000 a year instead
of $4,000.
Babcock introduced a bill providing
a remedy for those who believed their
tax levy is unlawful.
Chandler introduced a bill providing
for the registration of land titles. 1t is
evidently designed for those who have
settled on unsurveyed lands. Another
bill by the same senator provides for the
sale and appraisement Of state lands on
application of ten h~ouseholdors living in
a district where the land is located.
Greene presented a bill amendatory OF
that section of the code relating to the
state board arbitration. 1t provides for
local boards of arbitration in addition to
the state board.
The printing bill fixing the price to be
charged for county work, which has

Special to The Tribune.
HELENA, Feb. 1G.--In the house The
committee on state institutions reported
favorably the senate bill providing for d
capitol commission. Leieer of Anaconda
and Lawrence Of Silver Bow m&do d
minority report against the bill,
The bill providing for a standard
measurement for water was reported
from the committee without recon-
mendat|ol.
Favorable reports were made on the
senate bill requiring flags on school
houses and the house bill for rcfunLing
maturing school bonds; also on tho bill
requiring railroad companies to pay for
damage to stock. and the bill providing
for the execution of laws relative to life
insurance companies.
The committee on judiciary made a
report on the bill for the Sunday closing
Of barber shops, The report says that
because of conflicting views of author
tiles as to the constitutionality of such
law, and the fact that ninety per cent of
the BARRIERS ask it, the bin should be
passed to give them a chance to try the
matter in court. The same committee
made al unfavorable report on the bill
for the appointment of receivers for the
estates Of runaway husbands, The bill
was indefinitely postponed. The reasons
given were that the law already affords
relief and furnishes "a method of proce-
dure by which the property of absent
husbands may be gotten into possession
of the courts, on application of the
deserted wife or child. Another reason
given was that the bill was meant to fit
a special case.
Shropshire, Aud and Bond were ap-
pointed a committee to inquire into the
length of the session of the legislature.
whether it shall be sixty legislative or
sixty calendar days.
The house adopted an amendment to
the rules to limit debate in committee OF
the whole. Debates heretofore have
strung out indefinitely.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Collins to locate the state insane asylum
at Springdale, Park county.
Rogers introduced one establishing
circulating libraries for the state.
The senate ~anti-gambling bill was
referred to the committee on internal
improvements.
The house then adjournedtill 3o'cleck
