MONETARY

1t is hoped the international mon
etary conference bill will pass con-
gress; that the president will approve
of it and carry out the duty it impos-
es upon him, and hat the conference
will result in the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at some reasonable
ratio, and every country in the world
will be satisfied. But while every
bimetallist wishes these things may
come to pass, not one among a humid
red believes they will through a mon
etary conference. They believe, and
we fear rightly, that a monetary con-
ference is a monetary humbug, and
no good will come of it, should one
be held.
Judging by the results of these
conferences they are simply sops
thrown out by the gold-bugs to ap-
pease, for the moment, the hunger of
the masses for silver coinage-the
bits thrown out by Russian travellers
to check, for a time the pursuing
wolves that threaten to destroy them.
Several monetary conferences have
been held. Men prominent in fnan-
cial circles, and men not SO promin-
ent have taken part in them. They
have talked and counselled and ad-
vised. They have dined and wined
and played the owl act between
drinks. They have shaken hands,
parted and breathed signs of relief
over the ending of the international
humbug, and if each member didn't
express the opinion that the others
are continental fools for attending
the farce, it vas because their polite
ness regulated their tongues. And
today silver is in a worse plight than
it was the day the first conference
met, and bimetallism is regarded by
gold bugs as the iridescent dream Of
it's advocates. Is it a wonder that the
American people have no confidence
in an international monetary confer
ence?-Inter Mountain.

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
A Lady Of Rare Political Ability
Airs Her Opinion OF the Fifth Leg
islative Assembly.

Editor HERALD: Now hat the fifth
session of the Montana Legislature has
become a matter of history, and the
newspapers generally have had their fling
in regard to the one measure, defeated,
that has interested the women of the state,
we wonder whether our solons are real
ly proud of their action.
Various papers in different parts of the
state have descended to low and vulgar
criticism regarding the employment of
women as clerks during the legislative
session. There is little reason to sup
pose they would be employed were they
not more efficient and industrious in the
same capacity. Statistics from various
departments at Washington, and also
from the U. s. mint where ladies are
largely employed in most responsible
positions, prove this.
An effort was made to render them in
eligible for the Office of county superin-
tendent of schools. Only jealousy, and
a selfish desire to monopolize every pay
ing office, could prompt this, as it is the
outspoken verdict CT the people every
where that lady superintendent attend
better to their duties, and give much
better satisfaction than men.
When the question of equal suffrage
was being discussed in the house, it was
proposed to amend the petition and pro-
vide that so-called privileges and courte-
sizes ordinarily extended to women should
henceforth be withheld. Only a boor
would suggest such a thing. There were
also irrelevant remarks in regard to the
alternate bearing of children, saying that
any woman must be proud if her husband
made them.
Space forbids our discussing this ques-
ton at length. There are two classes of
men who oppose the right of women to
suffrage. Those who want a wife for the
number of days work she represents.
They concede her no rights, except the
right to work, and they Dor kill her.
The other class wants a doll-faced simp-
Teton who can only whimper and lisp
that it is ''pewfectly howwid" for wom-
e. to want to vote. This class wants a
woman to know nothing-especially as
to how her husband spends his time when
out of her sight. A third class want a
wife to stand in intellectual attachments

SILVER IN THE SENATE.

Senator Dubois term of Office ex-
pires March 4. But he has caucused
with the silver men during this term
of congress, and presumably knows
the position to be assumed by that
body of senators in the next congress
He made a sensational speech in the
United States senate last Saturday
which evidently disclosed a purpose
outlined by the silver men to organ
ize the senate against the republic
cans. 1t is we'll known that no one
party can be able to organize that
body, and that the republicans will
require the support of the gold dem
ocrats to effect an organization. The
speech of Dubois seems to infer that
the gold democrats have concluded
to co-act with silver democrats, silver
republicans and populists to shut
out the republicans from power in
that body. With prophetic vision
the nate declared that the repub-
licans will never again control the
senate-never again be able to pass
a law. The speech provoked the
of Senator Nelson. who
asked: what have you got
against the republicans? Senator
Dubois replied:
1 have this against them, that
while saying thus for years,
ave will help you make this
silver fight" you came out at St.
Louis as advocates of a single stand
ard, and now you see what you were
warned of there. You lose coast
senators. Just as fast as the people
of that section have an election for
senator, just SC fast will republican
senators 60 down. There have been
seven senators elected there to take
the place of seven republicans. One
comes back. And just as fast, l say
to you, as the people there have a
chance to express themselves, just SO
fast will you lose a republican sena-
tor if you cling to the single gold
standard. You can not organize the
next senate, nor can you organize
any other senate. AS we said at St,
Louis, the republican party, as a par
ty, has written its last law upon the
statute books of this country. II
you get your tariff bill through, ii
will not be by republican votes. You
have not enough of them. You can
not get them. They do not belong
to you, and you will be further from
getting them in the senate after two
years.

A GROwL.

The Great Falls Tribune under the
caption, GA Neihart Growl," says:
The Neihart HERALD was not
gushingly in favor of the annexation
of that section to Cascade county,
and now that it has been accomplish
ed, does not hail the change with
screams of delight.
The HERALD was not averse to the
move to Cascade, and while the Tri-
bune has seen fit to reproduce u
termination of certain unfavorable
features connected with the bill, that
usually fair minded journal should
also have reproduced what we deem
ed It's favorable features.
1t is we'll enough for a paper Of
the high standing enjoyed by the
Tribune to insinuate that extensive
"jobs" have not been perpetrated in
Cascade county, but the public
knows better, and requires no news
paper to defend inordinate wicked
ness in high places. For what coun-
ty has not been thus robbed? What
county of the United States has not
been thus victimized? And it may
be a general dictum that the bigger
the county, the more extensive the
system of Vandalism.
But to digress, we repeat u last
weeks assertion hat Neihart will be
industrially ond commercially profit
ed by the change. Much of our min
ing property is held by Great Falls
capital; and these people have not
been penurious in their expenditures
for developments sake. The people
of the Falls are enterprising to the
limit, and on a fair chance to win,
will stake their last bean. No trib-
ute of praise IS too fiatterlng to pay
the man who banks his stack on his
judgment. Men of such courage are
bound to win; and when luck attends
them they win on a wholesale plan
We note with pleasure that some Of
Cascade county's people have made
money at Neihart; and with still
more pleasure we note that Others
have interests here which cannot faiI
to yield them handsome returns
From Neihart, the only business out
let is through Great Falls, and con
sidering these conditions, we are
glad the move has been made.

paid off Wednesday and will depart
from that city Immediately. While
there they have created more trouble
than all other elements combined, so
says the Leadville Miner. Because
they wore blue coats they wanted to

own mind they owned the earth and
a large portion of the atmosphere.
Their departure will be hailed with
JOY by a long-suffering public.

A man who doubts the patriotism
of Eugene V. Debs should be sus-
pected of being himself a tory. Mr..
Debs is an enthusiast, he may have
made mistakes-who hasn't?--but
he believes in a government of the
people, for the people, and by the
people, and that is what every true
American desires. He has the abil-
ity and courage of a leader. He be-
lieves in the ballot and that eventu-
ally men will right all their wrongs
at the ballot box. He has a great
mission to perform, and if he sue
ceeds in getting men to vote for
their interests instead of against
them he will have accomplished
more than any man has done before.
In New York and Pennsylvania,
where laboring men are thickest, the
words of Debs and other leaders fall
on deaf ears. W~hy?-Missoulian.

Mercenary motives, if no other,
would have prompted Editor Wight
to oppose the congregational move
ment. For eight years the Meagh-
er county News has bravely opposed
public extravaganza, without, until
now being able to break the ice of
monopoly, ring rule and oppression.
1t has done years of persistent, hon.
est work, trying to guard the public
treasure against the hordes of Cloths
and Vandals who swept down upon
it with astonishing vehemence and
regularity. And now, just as that
paper gets the county printing con-
tract, the county is shorn of it's ply
lacteries, and robbed of the borders
of its garments, reduced by half it's
territory and two thirds its wealth,
leaving nothing in Meagher but the
valleys of Smith river and the Mus
selshell--a belt of country 100 miles
long and less han 30 miles wide.
1t will have an assessed valuation OF
barely $2,000,O00. The News says:
1--WE have little left but the court
house and poor farm, but the poor
we have always with u.s." This
knocks a yard of hay out of the News
printing contract, and the new year
for the News is not fraught with
great promise.

In commenting or Representative
Carroll's opposition to the
ton of the Neihart and Barker dis
tricts to Cascade county, the Great
Falls Leader says, "Within the
strip proposed to be segregated from
Meagher county is the mining camp
of Yogo, and in that camp Represen-
tative Carroll has some mining
claims. He formerly lived there
and lorded it over Mile Ringgold,
the only other resident mine owner,
in a manner that has made his resi-
dence at Yogo one of the pleasant
recollections of his past. In his
moments of castle building Carroll
dreams of returning to Yogo, dreams
of a new county of Belt, with Mel
hart the county seat and Carroll, the
rich mine owner of Yogo the central
figure"

A HARVEST OF HUMAN HAIR.


 mniiens of Pounds Every Year Get Tangled
 Up in Commerce.
 Perhaps there is no staple article about which less is known by the aver age person than human hair as an ar. ticle Of commerce. It will doubtless surprise many when it is stared that the dealers in human hair goods do not depend on chance clippings here and there but that rhere is 6 regular hair harvest that can always be relied upon 1t is estimated that over 12,000, o00 pounds of human hair are used annu. ally in the civilized world for adorning tho heads of women In New York city alone oyer four tons of this class of goods are imported yearly.
 Mot little of the hair used i'll this country" said New York dealer to the writer, comes from the heads of American women, and it is fully as fine in shade and texture as the imported ar. ticle. We had big harvest during the craze that the fair sex had not long ago for having their hair cut short Many thousands of women who then had their locks sheared have since bitterly regret ted il, as in many instances their hair has grown so slowly that they nave been compelled to wear a wig or 8 switch since t.3e fashion changed. After the majority of women reach the age of 30 the hair seems to partially lose it's vigor, end if cut it will not grow long again
 STwo.thirds of the ladies nowadays use false hair more CT less Tue decree of fashion, or the desire 10 conceal de- feet CT heigbten charm, is tue reason of course One woman, for instance, has < high forehead and wishes to re. dnea it ill appearance. Another has worn off fhe front hair by continued frizxing and would ike to conceal the fact. Both make use Of front or top piece. with choice of many styles
 Ladies wigs cost from $40 to $2G0; half wigs, top pieces and switches from S10 to $50, according to quality
 ''Ihe largest supply of hair comes from Switzerland, Germany and the French provinces There is q human hair market in Merlans, ill the depart. ment of Che lower Pyrenees. held every Friday Hundreds of hair traders walk up and down the one street of the yil- lage, their shears dangling from their belts, and inspect the brails which the peasant girls, standing on the steps Of the houses, let down for inspection.
