cess In the presentation by her young
ladies Of the pleasing operetta "Tyro-

The effort was praiseworthy In every
particular. The giving OF their time
and talent TO . benevolent purpose, In
Itself was commendsble, and for the
manner In which the various roles were
sustained, the spontaneous and frequent
applause by the audience spoke vol
umes.
Much Of the success Of the evening

Mae Wheeler, who In her usual brill
liant manner, furnished the piano &C

Blackfoot has become, by reason Of
her public-spirited and progressive
business men, the recipient Of 30 many
generous endowments, that any new
bequest has ceased to be source of
surprise.
Among those who have showered on
her manifestly the most lasting and
substantial gifts, stands the firm Of C.
Bunting & Co.
AS the demands Of this company's
ever-increasing volume Of trade in the
merchandising line called for more
room, 1t was met by the erection of one
Of the most commodious store buildings
in the State, supplied with every IA
cfiity for perfect and systematic con-
Quoting Of their mercantile business.
In conjunction with the construction
Of this building and under the same
roof was partitioned of by fire-proof
walls, room TO be occupied as bank
by the frm, thus concentrating the
company's business, which had here
tofore been carried ON In different
apartments and places. The advan-
tages to accrue TO both establishments
under this arrangement are obvious
and need no comment.
The fitting up Of this new bank
building, and its occupancy, has been
looked forward TO for several months
past, and on Tuesday Of this week, ev.
erything having been put in "shiT
shape" the doors were thrown open
for business.

THEY KNOW NOT DEFEAT
SILVER MEN WILL AGAIN LINE UP
FOR BATTLE.
Address to the Silver Leagues and
Bimetnllic Unions of the
United States.

Washington, Nov. S.-The campaign for
the free coinage Of silver will be wa4ed
with vigor during the next four years, in
preparation for the election of 1900. The
directors of the American Bimetallic
Union. who constitute the bulk OF the
silver leaders in three parties. have de-
cided to maintain headquarters in this
city from which to send out literature.
The branch office at Chicago will be con-
solidated with the Washington office,
but the San Francisco branch Is to be
continued.
At the request of the directors, General
A. ]. Warner the president Of the union,
has issued the following address to the
silver leagues and bimetallic unions Of
the United States:
Silver has lost in this election, but
the battle for the overthrow of the gold
standard has not ended The disastrous
results that must attend upon the con-
tinuance of this standard make 1t i'm
possible to relinquish the struggle against
1t until it is finally overthrown. The gold
standard can not be maintained by in
creasing revenues, because revenues are
not paid in gold. The attempt to main
tain the gold standard by perpetual loans
must also, sooner or later fail The only
other way Is by contracting the currency
and forcing down prices so low that gold
will come here of itself in such quantl-
ties as to constitute, in part, at least
the currency with which revenues are
paid, and no debtor nation can long main
tain such a policy. Either course, there
fore, leads to inevitable ruin, the one by
bankrupting the government and the 9th
er by bankrupting the people. Either pol

| appreciation of money alone If allowed

wealth in few hands as the ceaseless
all-pervading power Of an appreciatini

the foundations upon which free institu
tions rest will be broken up.
"The battle, therefore, for the restora
ton of silver, must go on without abate
ment, and 1 urge upon all silver and bi
metallic leagues and unions to keep u
their organization and continue the fgh
until the victory is finally won.
1.-THE noble fight made by our intrepi
leader in the campaign just ended en-
dears him to all who believe in the right
eousness Of our cause, and under hi
leadership we believe, victory Will be wo
in 1900."

CANADA AND THE GOLD PRESIDENT.
Cabinet Ministers Do Not Think Nc
I<fnIey VIII he Hostile.

New York, Nov. 9.-The Morning Ad-
vertiser says this morning:
Three members of the new Canadian
cs binet were so interested in the outcome
of the recent presidential election that
they came to New York to study the
methods by which it was conducted, and
to learn the result at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. They are William Fielding.
minister of finance; William Patterson,
minister Of customs. and Andrew b. Blair,
minister of railways.
The trio arrived few days before the
election, and left for home last evening,
apparently well satisfied with the result.
They do not seem to share the opinion
expressed by large section Of the Cana
dian press, that President Mckinley will
be unduly hostile to them on the recipro-
city, fisheries, bond regulation and otner
questions at issue between this coun-
try and Canada. Finance Minister Field
ing, who acted as spokesman of the par
ty, when seen said:
mo, / do not see any reason why Ca
nadlans should be alarmed at the election
of Mckinley. l think the chances of ar
irving at an amicable arrangement re
garding a number of questions over which
Canada and the United States are at var
lance will be as good, If not better, afte
his Inauguration, than at any time In sh'
last four years"

the party have gone Quigley.
Rumors have gone abroad that many
men at Quigley are destitute and liable to
do bodily harm to representatives of the
company if they go to Qugley without
making a prompt settlement. This is
without foundation. Lynch and Spillane
say the men are reasonable and patient,
