TT rs NOT TRUE.

The testimony of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press is that "a great many people In
Montana" are opposed to free coinage
and earnest in their advocacy of the
goldbug view.
We challenge the st. Paul organ to
make its statement good. Free coinage
may have fo~s in this state-surely 1t
has not many of them. They are not
known to their neighbors. except with
extremely rare exceptions. and we do
not believe that the Pioneer Press can
locate them.
Every party convention to be held In
this state this year will be outspoken
In expressions of loyalty to the cause of
free coinage; these conventions will
faithfully reflect the sentiment of the
rank and file. II at st. Louis or at
Chicago a silver man is nominated for
the office of president, that candidate
will poll practically the full vote of this
state.
We ask the Pioneer Press to furnish
particulars. 1t says what is not true
when II implies that there is in Mon
tana any anti-silver sentiment worth
taking into account. And. also. the
prediction OF the Pioneer Press that
anti-silver sentiment will be in sway in
Montana before long is utterly idle
prophecy-in the signs of the times
there is not the slightest warrant for
such assertion. Montana has had its
share of trial during the recent years
of depression, yet this state has pulled
through thus far in much better shape
than Minnesota has. and this region
will not surrender its conviction that
the road to the return of prosperity for
all this country is through the restora-
ton of silver to its time-honored func-
ton in the currency.
The Pioneer Press, II IL pleases. may
continue to write Montana's citizens
down as long-haired lunatics, but II
ought to be less reckless in its studied
Misrepresentation of prevailing public
opinion in these parts.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

AS IL seems to us, tiss Anaconda city
authorities are proposing a change of
doubtful merit in the affairs of the
health department. AS we understand
1t, the proposition Is ito abolish the po-
sition of health officer and put the
health department in charge Of a sani-
tary policeman.
That plan will not furnish the pro-
lection which the city has hitherto en-
joyed and which, we think, ought to be
continued A physician ought to be at
the head of the health department, for
reasons 50 apparent that they need not
be recited. More than once in the his
tory Of this city the duties of the health
officer have been urgent. Even now,
communities close to Anaconda are I'M
der a visitation of diseases which de-
mand the utmost vigilance on the part
OF the local authorities.
There is a useful field for a sanitary
policeman, but he is not proper sub
stitute for a regular physician. Would
1t not be much wiser plan to retain
a health officer and then assign one of
the members of the police force to the
work of sanitary inspection at the sea-
sons when that work is required?

HOLD TT SOON.

Why should democracy in Montana
waltz The right course is to fly the
flag for free coinage without pausing
to find out what other people in distant
states intend to do.
We notice that in several eastern
states the plan of the democrats is to
delay their convention until the coun-
try has learned what conclusion the
republicans reach at st. Louis. This
course has been adopted in Ohio and.
we believe, in Indiana. The circular
sent out to Montana committeeman.
last week, was an inquiry as to the
wisdom of following this course.
We do not know what is the best
policy for the East; there may be good
that there is no question as to the
course that Montana democrats ought
to pursue. The wave in silver's favor
IL rising; let us do what we can to lift
II up.
There are those who say that in an
affair of rational significance Montana
IL not of great account. While that
may be true. to a degree. this state is
at least of some account, and whatever
influence Montana has can best be
made potent IL II is put in force at
the earliest possible moment; there is
when II ought to lead.
Effort is rife throughout the East to
make 1t appear that free-coinage senti-
ment is not as strong as formerly 1t
was in the Rocky Mountain region.
Montana can put that report to discred-
At: the sooner 1t is done the better. In
this matter no factional interests are
involved; even party welfare is not the
main factor-the idea is. before all and
above all, TO go promptly on record
with a stirring announcement on the
silver question. in order to let other
up and doing and ready for her share
of campaign burdens.
Yesterday the Standard, through it's
special state service. gave the views
of forty-two well-known Montana
democrats on this question. These men
are practically unanimous in their
opinion that IL would be well to name
an early day for the convention. Tes-
timony to that effect might easily be
added.
Indeed. no good reason can be given
why Montana should wait Our hope IL
that the call for the convention will be
issued forthwith. without regard to the
action to be taken at st. Louis and
without reference to the motives thai
may prompt delay in eastern states.
