Their Visit n Benefit.

In the visit of Gen. a. ]. Warner and
Hon. J. c. Sibley that which perhaps
is most gratifying To the people of
Montana is the demonstration OF the
fact that eastern men of learning and
standing. with no hope of personal
gain and even at great personal sac
rifice. are SO firm in their conviction
that the cause of silver is the just
cause that they are ready TO make an
extended canvass OF the country in the
interest of the white metal.
General Warner is a gentleman who
has made a life study of financial prob
lens. and having reached the conclus-
ion years ago that bimetallism must
be the financial standard OF a prosper
Gus country, he enlisted in the cause
and ever since has devoted his time
and his energies to its advancement.
Mr.. Sibley is a wealthy citizen Of
Pennsylvania. who long since took a
strong stand in favor of the free COIN
age of silver and bade defiance 10 his
party rather than muzzle himself in
the expression Of his views on the sub
ject.
The intimation that the tour OF these
gentlemen has for its ultimate object
political preferment Of some sort is
denied by them in a manner SO en-
phatic as 10 leave no chance for doubt
Indeed the sincerity of purpose Of men
who FOR so many years have proved
their loyalty To the cause and who at
their own expense are now making a
canvass Of the country I'm silyer's in
terest cannot be questioned. In his
speech in Butte Mr.. Sibley said: i

They Begin To-day.

The Mineral Land Commissioners for
the Helena district, which includes
within its bounds Silver Bow and Deer
Lodge counties, will start their work
to-day. The commissioners are Lyman
f. Barnes of Wisconsin. Edward H.
Movius of Buffalo, and Miles Cavan-
augh Of Helena The work of the COM
missioners will be to examine all un-
patented lands in alternate sections
along the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad to determine whether these
lands are agricultural or mineral A
Northern Pacific surveyor will accom-
pany the party. Due notice of the
party's coming to each place will be
given and all parties will be heard re-
garding various claims in the Northern
Pacific district,
1t will be the fault of the miners of
Montana II the mineral lands are not
now saved from the Northern Pacific.
They must be alert so that no mineral
land will be forfeited for lack of evil
dence of its mineral character. 1t is
expected that the work of the commits
sioners will consume two or three
years. After all the land has been
examined the commissioners will be in
session to listen to protests. The time
for the mining men to speak, however,
is while the commissioners are on the

The speakers remarked that IL was
difficult to make silver speeches in
Montana, for the battle is not to be
fought here, and If campaigning is
necessary in this section of the coun-
try the cause might as well be surren-
dered at once. This is true. Montana
needs no campaigning, but must stand
ready to aid in the fight elsewhere.
Montana will be heard from when the
call to arms is sounded.
1t seems likely that the great battle
ground in the coming contest will be
the middle West. All effort expended
in the New England states and New
York may we'll be counted as wasted.
The territory between the extreme East
and the extreme West will be the bat
tie ground. Michigan is ripe for sill
yer campaigning. Iowa reports silver
gaining ground. In Illinois the demo-
Gratis at least are coming to the right
side. In these states and in Ohio, In
diana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas
and Nebraska the main conflict will be
waged. The middle West will hold the
balance of power and VIII decree
whether silver shall be restored to its
old place as money or whether New
York shall continue to dictate the
financial policy of the country.
Although no campaigning for silver
is needed in Montana, the visit of
Messrs. Warner and Sibley was far
from in vain AS the day draws near
for the great fight to begin, their pres
ence has been an inspiration, nerving
every man to stand ready to do his full
duty, and to enlist for the war. Just
what political form the conflict will
assume cannot be foreseen. Every good
citizen of Montana will Loyalty unite
in whatever course shall be considered
most effective for the accomplishment
of the desired end, and will not hest
tate to sacrifice the success of party
for the good of the country.

Aldermen Knowlton and Cook are act

the mayor has manifested a commend

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST.
FRIDAY, MAY "A, 1895.
In Oregon.

Where do the republicans in Oregon
stand, anyhow? The republican clubs
of that state had meeting last
Wednesday; it was in the nature of
state convention for the selection of
delegates to the national convention of
republican clubs soon to be held in
Cleveland.
There were more than seven hundred
delegates in attendance at Wednes-
days conventional was held in the
city of Portland. The Geographic re-
port said. yesterday, that, while some
of the delegates were favorable to sill
yer. the convention was almost unani-
nous in the opinion that no action re-
speeding silver ought to be taken at
the Cleveland meeting of the league.
At the session of Wednesday evening
this proposition was brought to a test.
and IL appeared that the anti-silver del
egates had the convention two to one.
That is eminently republican. If
there is a place on earth where the su-
preme issue of the day ought to be
passed upon, that place is the league
meeting at Cleveland; IL there is one
state among the forty-four states
which comprise the union where the
sentiment ought to be overwhelmingly
for free coinage, that state is Oregon.
Evidently the members of the republic
an clubs there prefer the party lines
to the promotion of silver's interests;
they ought to be good Harrison repub-
licans next year.
The action taken in Oregon, day be-
fore yesterday, is the more strange in
view of the incidents attending the re-
cent senatorial contest in that state.
The tedious fight at Salem is not for
gotten. BY a scratch, Oregon man
aged to elect a senator The winner in
the fight appears to be a small pattern
of a man. at least, during the weeks
that have elapsed since his election.
no man has been able to find out his
views. If he has any views. on the issue
that is paramount in national politics.
His hackers profess that he is for free
coinage, but up TO date there has not
arisen in all Oregon any responsible
citizen who has dared to attest the as
sertion that Senator-elect Mcbride will
be good for anything in the fight for
free coinage or safe to count on. 1t is
as likely as not that Mcbride will turn
up missing when the silver forces an
swer To the roll call; he acts that way.
The story diligently circulated while
Oregon's senatorial campaign was on
was 10 the effect that Senator Dolph
was fought because of his senate votes
against silver. but all that since has
happened brings into discredit the re-
port that Dolph's silver record killed
him off. The enforced conclusion is
that silver's crusade had relatively lit
tie to do with it; history will probably
record the fact that the Pacific rail-
roads went broke and couldn't find II
convenient To arrange" for another
term for Dolph. That is the kind of re-
publicans the oregon republicans APP
pear to be.

An English scientific writer tells of
a variety of rats in this country de-
veloped since the establishment of cold
storage warehouses. 1t adapted itself
to the severe temperature by taking on
a thick coat of fur, even to its long,
slender tail Evolution is now produc-
ing a heavily furred cat to catch these
rats, as ordinary cats perish off with
the cold when left in these warehouses.
This curious scientific fact is akin to
one often remarked by miners in Butte.
In some particularly wet mines rats
are found with an oiled fur much re-
sembling a waterproof, and the drip
ping water falls off their backs with
out penetrating to the skin. Many of
these rats have been captured.
