out that excessive importations, added
TO our already large debt, have placed
the balance of trade heavily against
us. The reserve is depleted to ship gold

The Saturday Review adds that the
bond issue will afford only temporary
relief and will make the final settle

million dollar gold reserve will have
been maintained till the end OF his
term or at least till after the Novenl-
Der elections until he can re-

Whether the hundred millions will
last till the end of the term of Mr.
Cleveland is very doubtful. 1t may dis

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
George Higbsmith Tried to XIII His Wife
and HImseIf at Dillon.

Dillon Tribune: Soon after s o'clock
last night George Highsmith made an
attempt to cut his wife's throat, near
ly severed the fingers of a man who
attempted to interfere, and then cut his
own throat.
The screams of the injured woman
and the children soon attracted a
crowd which found the house, near the
depot, looking like a slaughter pen.
The sheriff and a doctor were sent
for and a guard placed over Jerry"
to keep him from doing himself further
injury. Mrs. Highsmith took refuge in
Judge Holden's where her wound. con-
sisting of a big cash on the side Of the
head. was attended to by DIR. Bond.
DR.. Leason took Jerry in hand and
found that he had completely severed
the windpipe and narrowly escaped the
jugular. When questioned the injured
man said he didn't want to lice, but
the doctor sewed his throat up and he
will eventually be all right again.
The cause of the trouble seems to be
a difference of opinion as to whether
both shall dwell under the same roof.
Highsmtth was placed under arrest
upon a warrant sworn out by L. p.
Phillips. chief of police, charging him
with attempting to commit murder. He
was placed in the county Jail this aft
ernoon.
James Corcoran, a teamster. who in
terfered with the cutting affray, had
two fingers nearly severed.

Cochran was elected to congress In
the fall of 1891 from the Twelfth dis
trlct by 5000 majority. In 1898 he was
again sent to congress.
In the fall of 1898 a controversy arose
between Mr.. Cochran and Richard
croker which led to Mr.. Cockran's final
Withdrawal from Tammany Hall about
year ago. The circumstances which

year ago the alteration broke out
anew, because OF some remarks Mr.
croker made about Mr.. Cochran. and
Tor while there was talk of a per-
sonal encounter between the two. The
tax soon died out, and the affair was
entirely forgotten when a few weeks
later Mr.. Cochran sailed for Eu-
rope.

pers In Montana, a day or two after the
vote was announced to the country, de-
nounced the putting of this and that
together as a dastardly democratic
trick. If there was any trick about It.,
IL was to compel the republican MEM
bers to show their Wanted friendship
for silver. But their objection TO hav-
ing tariff and silver yoked up seems as
queer as that black snow which fell in
Chicago the other day; and more es-
pecially so when it is recalled that the
Montana republicans in 1894 had blaz-
oned on their characterization and
silver; not one. but bothw But now
they swear by the beard of the prophet
that rather than take both they will
take neither. even If il ruins the coun-

That the republican vote needs ex-
PLANTATION is admitted by their own
party. We feel like asserting that were
not a national campaign looming up on
the political horizon, the matter would
be allowed to become quiescent in the
hope that ii might sink into the limbo
or the forgotten. But the fact of the
approach of a presidential campaign is
not to be overlooked. Both the old par
ties realize the truth that the campaign
of 1896 is certain to be the most import
ant one since the memorable one of
1860, If in reality il shall not overshad-
ow even that campaign. And in view
OF possible contingencies, republican
leaders-of the Western wing, mind
you-are going to explain in the near
future. But what in the world is the
use of trying to explain what the peo-
pie know and understand as we'll as
they do that republican vote on silver?
In fact, the people of the South and
West have been well aware that the
bulk of the republican congressman

Great Falls Tribune: Certain demo-

Miner, are devoting much space to i'm
pugning the motives and attempting to
belittle the efforts of Senator. Carter
and Mantle and Representative Hart
man in behalf of free coinage. This
line of conduct the Tribune does not
believe meets the approval of the DEM

tives in congress are doing yeoman SER
vice in the cause and they are entitled
TO credit and encouragement, not
SneerS. To be honest about IL the
slurs and insinuations leveled at. Car
ter and Mantle can be applied with
equal force to certain democratic SEN
ators. In this battle, il is not ours TO
question why. We must seek for and
accept aid from any and all sources,
not abuse our friends or inquire too
closely as to the reasons that actuate
those who help. There is no division
of sentiment in Montana: preeminently
its politics is free coinage; beyond that.
republicans and populists have as much
right TO stick to their party creed as
have democrats. 1t must be admitted
that until the national convention shall
have been held no democrat has a IL
cense to say the party is a free coinage
party. While we hope and believe that
the democratic platform will pronounce
unequivocally i'm favor of silver. until
IL does so there is no excuse for the
Montana democrat pot calling the re-
publican kettle black.
