Monte Carlo is bathed in brilliant
sunshine and visitors lunching every
day in the open air. All the villas and
flats are already let for the season,

brilliant one. The only persons who
look gloomy are the shareholders in the
casino, a phenomenal individual hav-
Ing turned up who eclipses the doings
of both Garcia and Wells. He is a
surgeon major in a Russian regiment,
who was so celebrated for his good
luck at cards that his brother officers
raised sum of money and sent him
there to play it. In August he won
100000; returned in October and won
another 100000. Again this past fort

AS our usual market reports gave way
last week to the yearly statements we
give below, in order TO preserve the con-
tinuity of our record. brief summary OF
the quotations of the leading metals for

lar report for the current week follows
this statement.

Copper-The monotony characteristic of
the market for the last few weeks stllI
continues. The political troubles seriously
intereferd with consumption from abroad
from where our market had received far
more support during the last few months
than from consumers here. The market
being thus bare of any support prices re-
ceded much more quickly than was an
ticipated. The sale OF Calumet copper eff
fected about 10 days ago more than COW
cred the requirements of manufacturers
at the present rate of consumption so that
the other companies cannot so easily find
an outlet for their produce. As a result
thereof. stocks are beginning to accumu-
late. but they have not as yet become of a
menacing nature. Very little business has
been transacted during the week, and
quotations, which are 10c for Lake, csc
for electrolytic copper. 9i4c for electro
lytic catholics and 9Ac for casting must
therefore be considered more or less nom
inal.

Record and Promising Future.
Great Falls, Jan. 15-At the regu-
lar annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Northwestern National bank
yesterday the following board of direc-
tors were elected for the ensuing year:

A. Coram, c. E. Conrad, James T.

The report of the officers showed a
most satisfactory years business. The
usual semi-annual dividend of per
cent. was declared, and $4,000 added
to the surplus, thus making the total
profits for the year IL per cent. on the
capital stock The report showed that
one year ago the deposits were $780,
600, while to-day they are $500 The
number of depositors has more than
doubled; the deposits are composed
entirely of commercial deposits and
the bank carries no city, county or
state funds. The statement of the on
GERS shows that the bank has custom
ers in every county in the state, and
all told the customers aggregate 1878
persons. The total transaction of the
bank for the year amounted to some
thing over s35.50O.OOO as shown by the
footings of the cash book. The North
western National bank is one of the
largest financial institutions in the en-
tire Northwest and the report of the
officers from beginning to end was
perhaps the most satisfactory in the
history of the bank

ACCORDING to the announcement
made some time ago by the editor and
proprietor, Mr.. f. f. Hilliard, the
name of the Scotland Neck Democrat
has been changed TO that Of the Com
W0nzoea!M This is done merely as a
matter Of sentiment that being the
name by which the paper was known
when Mr.. Hilliard first became asso-
Cia;ed with it, and for the further rea-
son that there are several other papers
known as Democrat in the State. Re-
firing from the newspaper business
soon after he had entered it with the
change in ownership the name Of the
paper was changed. When Mr.. Hill
lard again took charge he retained the
name adopted by his predecessor and
for eight years has held on to it. But
now he ':goes back to his first love, y
as lie says. But beyond the change
in name there will be neither "varla-
ton nor the shadow of varying in its
editorial utteranCes or conduct of man
agement. It's politics, policy and

Review of Reviews for July.

The Rerieu Of Revieus for July is strong
political number. The portraits OF
prominent men OF all shades of politics
are numerous and interesting, and the
editorial comment on the present situa-
ton is luminous, The Reriew is the only
monthly which is able to keep fully
abreast of all political movements and
changes. 1t is never caught mapping.
The action of the st. Louis Convention
on the 18th OF June is already history to
the Rsview of Rerieus which appears on
the first day OF July; indeed, that action
had been definitely and accurately pre-
dicted in the number of the month pre-
viOus. The Reriew has shown such posi-
bilities in political journalism as had not
been dreamed of in the PHILOSOPHERS OF
the magazine editor OF the conventional
type.
The most thorough and authentic
study OF William McKinley's character
and career that has yet appeared in pc
riodical literature is contributed to the
July RcDie,o of Rerieus by Mr.. E. v Small
ley, the well known journalist, whose in
innate knowledge OF Republican party
politics and long acquaintance with the
public men OF Ohio render him peculiarly
adapted for such a task. Mr.. Smalloy
vas himself born and reared on the
"Western Reserve" only forty miles from
Mckinley's Poland home, and he writes
with full personal knowledge OF the Ma
jor's early environment. The article is
well illustrated.

HON. CYRUS 3. WATSON.


The Democratic State convention
made no mistake last night in nomi-
mating Cyrus B. Watson, of Forsyth
county, for Governor.
Mr.. Watson had not sought the
nomination and accepted it only in
response to a demand from his patri-
otism that his devotion to duty and
country would not permit him to de-
cline. He is man from and Of the
people aud he touched a chord that
brought tears to many eyes last night,
when, in accepting the nomina ion, he
said the first place he should visit when
he left the convention would be to the
country home of his mother, now in
her 92nd year, and tell her that the
great Democratic party had nominated
her son to be Governor of her State.
Mr.. Watson has ability of q high
order; courage that is not to be
doubted; and integrity of the most
rugged type. He was brave private
soldier, self-educated, but educated
in that school of experience and great
industry that makes the well-rounded
man.
Mr.. Watson is fighter. He never
runs. He is always in the thickes,
of the fight, neither asking nor giving
quarter. He is great debater-the
equal OF the best.
Mr.. Watson's position upon public
questions is we'll known. He makes
no concealment of his opinions. His
heart is an open book. His love
for his fellowsis SO great that there is nc
corner in his heart for anything excep,
the milk Of human kindness.
Mr.. Watson has been one of the
strongest advocates of the free coinage
| of silver from the commencement O
the agitation: He stands true ir
Democratic hostility to al trusts ano
combinations, and for the people in
their aspirations for better condition!
and fair chance.
With his clean record; his upright
life; his ability as debater; his capac
ity; his patriotism, and his courage will
make him worthy successor of the
hustings to the beloved Vance.-Nezo.
! and CbssrUey.
