With this issue the ARGUS sends to
its subscribers a supplement con-
tanning a write-up of the principal
business men Of Lewistown and
and of the varied commodities In
which they deal. The ARGUS Is
proud OF its home town and especial
" SO of it's merchants and business
men. That they are progressive is
shown by their liberality and taste
In advertising. The columns OF this
paper have become much crowded
owing to the generous patronage ex-
tended and it cannot be long before
additional space will be necessary.
Our merchants believe in advertising
because they know it adds grentiy
to their sales, not simply
they desire to lend their home paper
support. A careful perusal OF our
supplement will be interesting to
every reader, and special attention
is called to the notice of n of our
prominent firms which the crowding
of space necessitated being placed on
the first page, instead of with the
other reviews.
The ARGUS wishes its patrons a
Happy New Year and trusts that all
may be blessed with the pervadine
prosperity and that our merchants
may realize the handsome reward
which Is their just due.

Len Lewis. of Meagher county,

Mr.. Lewis talked of prosperity,
saying. "We, in Montana, have got
on in good shape the past year and
we are going to get ON in better
shape next year. Millions of dollars
measure the gains of this state In the
advance of our products Of loci<

Free coinage of silver received a
tremendous set back as a national
issue, when, at ST. Louis on the Goth
inst, the American Federation of
Labor refused to pass a resolution
indorsing free coinage at the rate of
16 to /, although they had passed
such a resolution at each annual ses-
sion for ssveral years previous. To
be sure, the federation threw a
slight sop to the %silverites in passing
a half-hearted resolution de%nouncing
the Gage currency bill, but when it
came to reaffiming their allegiance to
the Popocratic doctrine, they re-
fused. Evidently the delegates had
begun to realize the benefits they
were receiving from the new admins
tration. While Bryan and his crowd
may be foolish enough to go before
the people in 1900 with the same
coinage platform, the American
people will never endorse a policy
which would bring ruin upon this
country. Ii international bimetal.
lism can be secured, well and good,
but we will never follow the Pops to
a suicides grave.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1897-12-29

For the next month or more we
shall hear the Popocratic papers
claiming a great revulsion of feeling
in the old Bay state, reciting that
Boston, which gave a large Republic
can majority at the November cleo
tions, elected a Democratic mayor in
December. Mayor Quincy was re-
elected by about 1000 plurality, but
the canvass was not conducted on
national lines. 1t was entirely local.
Mayor Quincy has proven an excel.
lent magistrate, he governs Boston
for the good of Boston, not for the
building up of Il machine or the
f~urtherance of Democratic doctrines,
and the endorsement given him was
well deserved.

The Anaconda Standard on the
23rd inst, printed an associated
press dispatch under a tremendous
scare head, the dispatch reciting
an item which appeared in the
New York World and purporting
to forecast a disagreement between
Senator Wolcott of Colorado and
the president and the formers
resignation from the senate. The
dispatch said that Wolcott charged
the president with breach of faith In
regard TO the efforts to secure inter-
national bimetallism and that the
senator would retire from the senate
on that account. The whole story
was a fabric of lies on its face and
we are surprised that the Standard
should give 1t sufficient credence to
place 1t on the first page. The lie
was given to the report in the last
paragraph, which said that when
Senator Wolcott was asked to con-
firm this news he replied: you give
me the first information of the fact"

Enforce the Law.

That the Chandler anti-gambling
law is being violated in Lewistown
there is little doubt, in fact mo-
reasonable doubt whatever. To say
that the law is also being violated i'm
other cities and towns of the state is
no excuse for it's violation here In
the Butte papers may find nearly
every day an account of a holdup or
larceny, but no one contends that
for this reason, robbery should be
tolerated in Lewistown. Under h
Chandler law gambling is a felony
and the violators of this act should
be accorded the same treatment as
the man who brands a calf which
does not belong to him, commits an
assault or breaks into a building and
carries off property.
During the past week rhe writer
game which had been played-not
informed on mere rumor but by one
who participated in such games.
That gambling leads to the commits
sion of other offenses this instance
shows. A temporary employe of
this office Joined a few friends" in a
quiet game and when his stack ran a
little short attempted the collection,
and in one case succeeded in collect
ing, money which belonged to this
Office and on which he had no claim
whatever. We were further inform
ed of when and where this game was
played and who participated. Were
this competent evidence it would be
promptly furnished the officers, but
as our informant was equally guilty
with h other players he would I'M
questionably refuse to testify and
therefore, u evidence not being
competent, it is Useless to mention
names.
The Chandler law was twice enact
| ed by our legislators and it was not
| placed on the statute books to be
laughed at or ignored. The people
| of the state of Montana are de-
termined in this matter and the law
will not be repealed or be forgotten.
1t should be inforced to the letter.
Already the principal object of the
law has been accomplished for the
sports have been compelled to use
safeguards in their commission OF
their games, the same as other
criminals, but the officers in every
city and hamlet of the state should
prosecute the guilty until the evil il
eradicated entirely.
Residents of Lewistown who re
main up lat at night, either from
inclination or duty, report tina,
hardly a night passes but a game il
in progress and frequently SO oper
that anyone may see.
We do not intend to insinuate mol
do we believe that the peace officer
of this county are winking at thu
violation of this act, for as ye'
gambling has not been openly re
sumed at hours when a sheriff OF hi
deputy is expected to be roaming tn
streets; games are conducted II
second story, back rooms or NOR
prominently in the early hours of tn
morning. But the %violators hat
better be careful, else their crimes
will be detected and it will go hare
with them.

The great Coliseum at Chicago was
destroyed by fire on the 9th inst,
the whole structure being in ruins
within twenty minutes after the fire
was discovered. The cause was the
crossing of two electric wires, which
ignited some cloth and light
material. The building was being
decorated fora manufacturers exhibit
and many of the exhibits were al
ready installed and are a total loss.
Some three hundred people were in
the building, but the exits being
many and commodious, 1t is thought
all escaped. 1t was in this building
the Democratic convention was held
last year. The Coliseum was the
largest building under one roof in
the world. 1t had floor space OF
seven acres, including ground and
gallery floors, was 40 feet long by
800 wide, and contained $500, 900
pounds of steel, LOO, 900 feet of Ium-
Der and 300, 0OO. 900 bricks. It's cost
was $25O,OO0 and insurance to the
amount of $40, 900 was carried.

Prosperity in Montana.

Governor Smith has been absent
from the state for nearly a month.
attending to business before the
supreme court at Washington. Anew
days prior to the chief executives
return, the Helena Herald contained
the following editorial, which is
worthy of reproduction, as evidenc-
ing the dire straits in which the
state administration finds itself in
preaching calamity mid the reign OF
prosperity:
1T is high time our Populistic-
Democratic governor was returning
home, or his Demo-Pop. state officers
will have destroyed all available am
munition for future campaigns on
the familiar calamity lines OF
'Everything-has- gone to-the- dogs.
First the state treasurer reports in
creased property valuations in the
several counties OF several millions OF
dollars. Then the auditor shows
largely increased tax receipts. Then
the mine inspector reports over 1000
additional miners at work in 1897
over 1896, and HOO more miners en-
ployed in the state than ever before.
And best of all, he shows the value
of the product from the mines Is
largely increased. A large increase
in gold. a large increase in copper,
lead and coal, and about the usual
output of silver. The increased price
OF lead equals the decreased price of
silver. Then comes the boiler in
spector, and reports a so per cent. in
crease of boilers inspected and in
use, and asks for additional help
receipts exceeding expenses for the
first time in the history of the Office.
And finally ONE the report of the
state land agent and land register,
showing owe 150 per cent increase in
the sales and leases of public state
lands.
1.-The value of sheep and wool has
almost doubled. The value of cattle
has increased in good large percent
age ove that of last year. Butte
anu tudIohol hONSh So Pios-
porous in their history as in 1897.
The output of Flathead, Gallatin
and Ravalli counties has w been
larger in agricultural productions
and the price has never been SO
good for all produce sold. The
Northern Pacific Railway Co. reports
largely increased sales of land, and n
transportation business taxing it's
resources to supply the facilities
therefor. 1t has paid the first divi-
dend for several years to it's preferred
stockholders and it's net earnings
are enormous. The Montana Central
has a large business from terminal to
terminal. And still our disgruntled
governor can find nothing to be
thankful for in this goodly year of
1897. The Democratic and Populistic
papers are still bewailing the hard
fate OF the people.

Several exceptionally hant

Several exceptionally handsome
Christmas numbers of Montana
papers have reached our desk the
past week. The Anaconda Standard
published a As page edition, filled
with interesting special matter, fine
illustrations and inclosed in beauti-
full colored cover. 1t was a credit to
the Standard and the state. Among
it's articles were brief biographical
sketches of four Montana pioneers,
Hon Jas. Fergus heading the list and
followed by Nelson Story, Thomas
Cruise and Conrad Kohrs. The Butte
Miner also published a tasteful holi-
day number, replete in interesting
features. The Dillon Tribune prob
ably published the most creditable
considering its modest capacity and
rural environments. But the Dillon
Tribune is an admirable paper con-
Quoted On broad lines and assumes
with eas the fashions of the metro

Judge Clancy of Butte is aPopulist
and as such. anything he may do
should create little surprise. At
Butte last week Frank Moody was
on trial for murder and at the con-
clusion of the states evidence the
defense moved that the court in
struct the jury to acquit, a motion
almost universally made but rarely
entertained as the supposition is that
the jury is empannelled to try the
case, not the judge. But Judge
Clancy sustained the motion and the
jury was so instructed. After the
twelve jurors had considered the
matter for several hours they re-
turned a verdict of murder in the
second degree, eight of them having
been i'm favor of the extreme penalty,
but compromising on the verdict
returned. The Judge laughed at it,
refused to accept the verdict of these
twelve men who had listened to the
evidence and ordered them to retire
and return the verdict as ordered by
the court, which they did after a
long delay, though emphasizing that
it was not their verdict but the
courts. The Judge then apologized
to Moody for the trouble he had
been subjected too and turned him
loose. The county attorney has re.
arrested Moody and will take the
case to the supreme court, where, !
under n rules of procedure, the
case can be heard, Judge Clancy vii
probably get a turning down thai
he will not soon forget. In thes'
days of Populistic denunciation o
courts and demand of jury trials il
all matters, such action by SO prom
inent a Populist seems rather incon
| sistent.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, generally
to be very close to the ad-
ministration, said in a recent issue:
"Spain has given another char
acteristic example of Its perfidy and
cruelty. The authorities at Havana
have denied permission to introduce
free Of duty the provisions the United
States has sent there to relieve the
starving American citizens and con-
centrados, who are now dying by
thousands. Evidently Weyler's
policy of determination is still being
maintained. The new Captain Cen
eral is merely a second Weyler, a
genuine Spainard. When Congress
reconvenes after the holiday recess it
will be in duty bound to take effect
i've measures to end the atrocities
now being committed in Cuba"

The information received a short
time ago that Gen. Blanco, CON-
manding the Spanish forces in Cuba,
had sent to this country a trusted
lieutenant whose duty it was to join
some flibustering expedition and
secure the assassination of Gen.
Gomez, has been confirmed. But the
Cuban junta is we'll informed. They
know who the man is, when he ar
rived and will track him. About the
next thing we hear will be that he is
'missing" and it will be a small loss

these recreant state officials and sup
press these numerous harbingers of

the wailings, prophesies and fore
bodings of the last two years. Such
