Thought He Had Gross.

A stranger bearing some resemblance
to VIM. Gross, the Meaghcr county des-
perado, applied for work at the ranch of
John Smith. near Rockville, down in
Carbon county, the other day. Smith
became possessed of the idea that there
was no doubt about it being Gross him.
self, and watching his opportunity, he
got the drop on the stranger and after
binding him hand and foot he loaded
him into a wagon and made a lee line
for the Billings Jail with his burden. 1t
required the combined testimony of half
a dozen of the personal acquaintance Of
the Meagller county criminal to establish
the fact that Smith had got hold of the
wrong man. The prisoner said that his
name was Miller, and that he had come
to Montana to look for some relatives,
who reside in the upper Yellowstone
valley.-Eivingston Herald.

Foundations Of Society.

l read IL pamphlet published by a
Buffalo banker in which he said that
upon the prosperity of business men de.
pended the prosperity of the farmer and
laborer. My friends, there is no person
in this audience but who knows that
the proposition stated by the Buffalo
banker is false. Instead of the farmer
and the laborer depending for prosperity
upon the business man the reverse is
true. The business ma depends for his
prosperity upon the farmer and the Ia
borer.
Farmers and laborers are the founda.
ton Of society, and upon that broad and
firm foundation is built the commercial
fabric. The business man stands upon
the shoulders of those who toll, and the
banker ia simply a roof for the build
ing. You can take off the roof and put
on another one, possibly a better one
than the one taken off, but when you
take away the foundation the whole
building collapses. -W. J. Bryan.

HOUSING OF THE POOR.
The Wage Farmer Has . Deep Interest In
This Subject,

The Wage Garner Has . Deep Interest In
This Subject.
What are the wage Garner s spe-
cial interests in improved housing?
In the first place, this class is vital
~ interested in the conservation of
health. Good health means earning
power, and as workingmen lead
more or less of a hand to mout til ex-
istence any loss of earning pc er is
a serious matter. Lord Beaconsfeld
aptly voiced this truth in an ad-
dress delivered at the opening of
some new blocks of improved tene-
ments in London. He said 'the
health of the people is really the
foundation upon which all their
happiness and their power DEP END"
Few realize the loss of prod ctive
energy through sickness br ought
about by bad living environments.
Sir James Paget, the distingu ished
English physician, estimates that
the whole population of England be-
tween Is and IS years old wor ks in
each year 20, 600, 900 weeks less than
it might if it were not for sick
ness. He puts down the loss infliot-
ed on wage earners at nearly $751;
900, 900 annually. He refers simply
to a purely preventable loss. Some
years ago the London health au-
thorities instituted inquiries n Ger
tain low neighborhoods to estimate
the value Of labor lost in a year, not
by sickness, but from sheer exhaus-
zion induced by unfavorable SUI.
roundings. 1t was found that, upon
the lowest average, every worker
lost about 20 days in the year from
this cause. One might go on multi
plying such instances, but it is not
necessary to enforce the arg n,ent
by cumulative citation.
Wage earners are vitality interest

to the more highly favored. They
are also more often the victim of

JOHN j. INGALLS, ON GOLD
Says II Is the Most Traacherous and Cow
ardly of All Metals.

Says 1t Is the Most Treacherous and Cow
ardly of All Metals.
No enduring fabric OF national
prosperity a be builded on gold.
Gold is the money of monarchs.
Kings covet it. The exchanges of
nations arc affected by it. It's tend
enc,y is to accumulate in vast
masses in the commercial centers
and to move from kingdom to king
lom i'll such volumes as to unsettle
values and stir up the finances of
the world. 1t is the instrument of
gamblers and spectators and the
ideal of the miser and thief. The
object of so much alteration, il be-
comes naughty aud sensitive, and
shrinks at the approach of danger,
and whenever it is most needed it
always disappears at the slightest
alarm. 1t begins to look for refuge.
1t flies through the nations at war
to the nations at peace.
War makes it a fugitive. No peo-
pie in a great emergency ever found
a faithful ally in gold. 1t is the
most cowardly and treachcrous of
all metals. 1t makes no treaty that
it does not break. 1t has no friends
whom it does not sooner or later
betray. Armies and navies are not
maintained by gold. In time of
panic and calamity, shipwreck and
disaster, it becomes the chief agent
and minister of ruin. No nation
ever fought a great wal by the aid
OF gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of greatest peril it becomes
an enemy more potent than the foe
in the field. But when the battle is
won and peace has been secured,
gold reappears and claims the fruits
of victory.-John James Ingalls,.

from the seven precincts of the annexed
territory were appointed.
The reason the early dates We're Sc
lected for the primaries and convention
was owing to the fact that there is a gen
eral feeling among Democrats that they
are perfectly willing to submit the ticket
which the Democratic city convention
will nominate to the gentlemen compris-
ing the Good Government league for
their consideration. If this is done, as it
ought to and will be, then the nomina-
tions must be made early.
AS soon as they are made and plat
form enunciated, the municipal cam
paign can then be laid aside until after
the national election, when it can be
taken up and four weeks devoted to
its discussion and in properly present.
ing the issues to the people.
To say that the Democrats of the city
are not willing to submit their nomi-
nees to the Good Government league
would be to insult the intelligence OF
every Democrat who will sit upon the
floor of the convention as delegate.
In the approaching municipal cam
paign Democrats desire the co-opera-
ton of every voter and organization in
the city looking to reform OF abuses
in the city government, and furthermore
to see to it that the great desideratum
of municipal ownership of the city water
system is brought to an early consum-
nation, not by men in public office who
are acting for the water monopoly. but
by men who in public office, stand for
the public interests.
For this reason the executive commit
tee decided to recommend an early con-
vention.
The action taken last evening WILL OF
course, be submitted to the general COM
mittee, which is to convene at New
Turnverein hall on Friday evening al
1880 p. m. to ratify the action taken.

The executive committee of the Demo-

evening in the Workman building and
perfected the details and arrangements
for the primaries and forthcoming city
convention.
The meeting was largely attended,
every member of the committee being
present save one. In addition there
were numbers of prominent Democrats
present from various parts of the city
who were interested in the action taken.
Everything was accomplished without
any display of i'll feeling. Harmony and
a desire to do the best thing for the party
and the people was the spirit manifested
The date chosen for the primaries was
Wednesday, October 7th, between the
hours of and p. m. The reason for
selecting these hours was to give every
workingman in the city an opportunity
of participating in the primary election
if he desired to. This he can now do, as
he will be given time to cast his ballot
after he has completed his days work.
The Republicans selected an hour for
holding their primary which precludes
the possibility Of any workingman vot-
ing at it, unless he leaves his work.
1t was decided to hold the primary
under the old precincts-fory-fiv in
number, adding seven additional pre-
cincts, which will give the annexed ter
ritory representation. This was done to
avoid confusion.
A committee was ordered appointed
to confer with the Populists and other
political organizations to agree upon a
plan of fusion. This committee will be
named today.

mittee were filled in and the committee

Mr.. Retzer moved that the primaries
be called for the 7th. between and j.

vention was, on motion, placed for the
10th inst at 10 a. m.
The basis of representation was fixed
as follows: Two delegates at large from
every precinct and one delegate for
every twenty-five votes cast for James
II. Budd, governor. or major fraction
therefore. This will make a convention
of 81 delegates, allowing twenty-three
delegates to the recently annexed ter
ritory.
Mr.. Retzer moved that the commit
teeman in each precinct act as judge of
election at the primaries, and that each
committeeman appoint a clerk. The mo-
ton prevailed and it was also understood
that in the absence of the committeeman
the voters present at the hour desig-
mated for opening the polls proceed to
elect judge and clerk.
