That body will soon seat several gold
bug republicans. When that happens
the boiling ouintette will need rein
forcements in order to be successful
obstructionists. The FIVE senators had
counted. among others. on winning
Pettigrew's support. Already he is ldBt
to them, and other losses are thrQlten-
ed. The policy thus briefly referred to
is the only policy that would commend
the republican silver senators TO the
nonpartisan favor of silver's advo-
Gates; they would be useful IL they
were just strong enough to be a bal
ance of power or successful in obstruc-
ton. The plan is good enough. 1t may
work; but things do not look that way

A NEW SILVER QUESTION

The silver question has come up In
New York In a new form. Nearly all
OF the leading jewelry firms of the
metropolis. including Tiffany & Co.
have been indicted for violating a sec
ton of the penal code which provides
that all silver goods that are stamped
sterling must be made of metal at
least 1925 fine. The misdemeanor for
which they are indicted is punishable
by imprisonment not 10 exceed six
months or by fine of not more than
$500 The trials are set for April 1. at
which time the defendants. IL is be-
lieved. will plead guilty and pay the
fine.
1t appears that less than a year ago

OF a dozen prominent department
stores for precisely the same offense.

AT FRIEDRICHSRUH.

The day is not distant when, at
Friedrichsruh, the first day of April
will be observed as. memorial rather
than a time for festivities. This is
Bismarck's birthday; he has rounded
out his eighty-first year-not many
more anniversaries will be vouchsafed
to the man of blood and iron. Doubt
less he would have paid long ago the
penalty for a wild career in his youth
but for the fact that he yields himself
with the submissiveness of a child to
the orders of the physician who has
been his faithful companion for years.
1t would be interesting to know
whether old age spent in comparative
idleness is irksome for the famous ex-
chancellor. That he chafed at first
under enforced retirement is well
enough known. He was robust when,
on that eventful March morning six
years ago, his downfall was made as
complete as IL was pathetic. On that
occasion he was summoned into the
presence of an emperor thirty-one
years old and less than two years on
the throne and summarily dismissed
to his estates.
After listening to the violent talk of
this sovereign, whose empire Bismarck
founded, the venerable chancellor said:
II think can perceive that my services
are not fortunate enough to please your
majesty and that there is thought of
getting rid of me-" The emperor ges-
tured his assent. A fortnight later, at
Charlottenburg, Bismarck stood alone
and silent by the side of the mauso-
leum where reposes the dust of the old
emperor-king and on the lid of the
sarcophagus he laid a bunch of roses.
He left as silently as he had come,
and, a few hours later he turned his
back upon Berlin. Undoubtedly, dur
ing many months following his dis
missal. Bismarck expected to be re-
called; but the summons never came
In almost every detail. the policy
pursued in public affairs by Prince Bis
marck is utterly abhorrent to the
views which the people of the United
States are ever ready to defend. At
heart, he admires the manner of rul-
ing which Emperor William would like
to put into practice; he worships at
the shrine of despotic power. Never
theless. the sentiment of the people of
the United States respecting Bismarck
is one that falls little short of admira-
ton. They have not withheld their
applause of his conspicuous achieve
ments. To them, in his declining
years. Bismarck has become the most
picturesque parsonage in Europe, and
in this country. to-day, pleasant men
ton of the anniversary at Friedrichs-
rub will not be wanting.

their ignorance of what constituted
solid silverware under the law was not
permitted to be used in extenuation of
their offense any more than their ig-
norance of the law itself, andTso they
were all cinched. Then they quietly
went to work to procure evidence
against the jewellers. and 1t seems that
they have procured plenty of 1t. Their
agents went around and bought goods
ufacturers that made those for
the selling of which the pro-
prietors of the department stores
had been indicted. Samples have
been taken to the government as
sayer at the sub-treasury. who reports
total of fortytwo were the samples 900
pure. In one instance the sample was
as low as .240. and in few was the
purity higher than 400.
The fact seems to be that much of
the silverware that is sold as 'solid"
from IT. and that the fraud is COM
mitted under the names of some of the
most standard firms. The New York
jewelers. are honest enough to say they
have been caught. They purpose to pay
their fines and no longer buy of the
manufacturers who have deceived
them. 1t would be well for jewelers.
the country over to investigate the
matter and do likewise. The manufac-
tuners who have been imposing upon
the trade and the public should be ex-
however high it may be. Silver ait least
should be given a fair show in the
worlds commerce If not in it's monetary
systems.

THEIR DOUBLE S1RADDLE.

The New Hampshire republicans
made two straddles-one on silver and
one on favorites. The resolution they
adopted respecting candidates will sur
prise Speaker Reed. The platform
adopted at Concord, yesterday, declines
to make a choice as between Reed and
Mcknight commends both of them.
More than that, the convention refused
to accept the money plank adopted at
Reeds Massachusetts conventions; IL
patterned after the Mckinley platform
adopted in Ohio, with a more distinct
leaning toward the single gold stand
ard.
This is the more strange in view of
the fact that Senator Chandler was the
conventions presiding officer-he is the
gentleman who recently remarked that,
IL Mckinley is elected. the protected
industries will make merchandise of
him." Senator Gallinger was in yes
terdays New Hampshire convention.
What happened there is enough to
awaken the suspicion that he and
Chandler are pulling apart.
II would be contrary TO all the pre-
dictions, but IL would not be a surprise.
In view of yesterdays results at Con-
cord. were Mckinley to be I'm posses
sion of New Hampshire's delegation at
st. Louis. Mark Hanna will see to that;
his watchword is that campaign fat is
mighty and will prevail.

SOME REPUBLICAN, TALK.

The eastern republicans are In great
glee over the equalization OF Senator
Pettigrew; the utmost is made out of
the turn things took in the South Da-
kota convention. The result there is
entitled a "sound-money sweep" and "a
setback to free silver" The Philadel-
phia Press finds that. in some respects,
''the action taken In South Dakota is
the most significant and important
taken In any state since the presiden-
tiai canvass began" and 1t adds that
what has been done In South Dakota
can be done in several other silver
states"
This talk may be not so very wide
OF the mark. Senator Wilson, OF the
state OF Washington. said to a reporter
last Friday: 1T would not surprise me

to declare for the gold standard My
opinion is that the West and the Pa

THE WINNERS NAMED.

The democrats held an enthusiastic
convention In Butte yesterday and put
in nomination the only straight ticket
1t was an enthusiastic convention.
Perfect harmony prevailed, and, just
to show that there are no hard feel
ings. the files of the Inter Mountain for
the last municipal year were adopted
with enthusiasm as democracy's plat
form. A ticket was put up which will
receive the hearty support of the can
didates, and OF several other citizens,
without regard to race, color or pre-
vious experience In running against a
wicked combination ticket like the one
named in Butte last Monday.
There are loud-mouthed politicians
in Butte who assert that the demo-
Gratis will not carry the First ward this
year. That is a piece Of malicious cam
paign mendacity started by the agents
of Thompson's Monday combine. which
is made up Of presumptuous people
who fiatter themselves that the hearty
support accorded the Thompson admin
istration by the Butte Inter Mountain
and the Butte Miner during the past
year will be faithfully continued till
the polls close.
We infer now that a regular repub-
lican ticket will not be run in Butte
this spring; the Inter Mountain appears
70 have pledged itself to the combine
1t has even left the English-Americans
to paddle their own canoe up and down
the treacherous floods of Silver Bow
creek
Now let every citizen of Butte pull
true. Let every shaft house shake
with the reverberation Of the campaign
slogan Let every voter pull true, and
victory will triumphantly perch on one
banner or the other when election Mon
days sun goes down-if the weather
IL fair on that day and there is a sun
set in sight AS was elocuently said
by the late lamented Isaac Newton, we
democrats must pull together IL we
propose to beat the combine in the
eight wards Of Butte.
