DuN's REVIEW, which is looked
upon by business men as a reliable
indicator of business conditions,
continues to speak encouragingly
of the improvement in all lines.
In its issue of June 10th it says:
"There is no backward step in
business, although the season of
midsummer quiet is near. I'm
provement continues, gradual and
prudently cautious as before. al
though in many branches evident
where no signs of it appeared a
few weeks ago. Business men of
the highest standing in all parts
of the country, having gradually
perceived that the tide has begun
to rise, are regulating their con-
tracts and investments and the
plans for the future with a con-
fidence quite unknown to them a
short time ago. Great changes
before the adjournment of Con-
gress are hardly to be expected.
but removal of uncertainty is with
reason expected to bring into
operation buying forces which
have been restricted for months.
The main factor at that time is
the steadily frightening prospect
for crops. .

daily develops new wonders. and this
great chemist, patiently experiment

beneficial to humanity as can he
claimed by any modern genius. His
assertion that lung troubles and con-

is proven by heartfelt letters Of graf

Our county commissioners did
a grand stroke of business We'd
nesday in settling the delinquent
railroad taxes. The company
makes the point that they did not
have patents for these lands of
the government when the assess
ments were made and therefore
the tax claim was not legal; and
inasmuch as the courts of several
states have held that the point
was we'll taken, it would have been
very foolish for this county to
have spent money in this kind of
litigation. The money that the
county gets will about take up its
floating indebtedness, and in the
future there will be no delay on
the part of the Northern Pacific
in paying its taxes.

WHILE there is plenty of mois-
ture in most places now, it is a
fact that the early crops are con-
siderably injured from the con-
tinued dry weather of the earlier
part of the season. Much of the
grain is heading out very short.
Late grain stands a better chance.
The hay crop is not very promis-
ing. Most people had no hay
left over last spring and will be
in need of more hay land than
usual this season.

the time for decision approaches
with inevitable certainty. and from
a full heart and in all earnestness
l conjure my fellow countrymen,
casting aside all differences Of
opinion, to reject the nostrum and
delusions of those remedies which
in seasons of popular distress or
excitement, induce the foolish and
impious belief in the power of
any government to create values
by Statute.

THE "statisticians" who fur
nished those exciting tables of
prices for last falls silver cam
paign by which they professed to
show that wheat and silver had
kept pace in rise and fall since
the "crime of 49," are finding
little market for their tables this
year. The fact that wheat has
steadily advanced in value while
silver has steadily declined during
the past year has taken the edge
off the popular appetite for that

The men are Tom O'Day, Harve Ray,
Geo. Curry and two brothers named
Roberts who are half breeds.
The particulars of the attempted

Miles City Journal, are to the effect
that four masked men entered the

robbers, which clipped off a portion
of the cashiers right ear who then
complied with the command. The
safe and counters were relieved of
their contents and the robbers rode
away. Within few miles of town
a posse came upon the fugitives and
a running fight ensued. which re.

pursued.
There were five men in the party
that made the assault on the bank.
The pursuit was prompt, the bandits
having barely time to nnhitch their
horses and mount before being sur.
rounded. In the fight that followed

Hon. THOMAS BAYAKD spoke in
Philadelphia Monday in front of
1ndendence Hall, and his closing
remarks were reported as follows:
Today there is in the minds of
thinking men in this country a
widespread and vague uneasiness
on a question which casts a
shadow over the outlook of busi-
ness and beclouds the atmosphere
of hope and enterprise.
Capital is one form of property
that is sensitive. 1t shrinks and
withers when its confidence is
weakened. Apprehensions, every
where, vague and underlined, chill
the energies of men and checks
their enterprise and labor waits
for capital to regain its courage
and smooth away the objections
and danger which impede en-
ployment. And while labor is
waiting suffering does not wait,
and worn faces and hollow cheeks
tell the story amid mutterings of
discomfort. All this can be re-
lieved, for there does not seem
much doubt as to the true cause
that "dulls the edge of enterprise
and sicklies DER with the pale
cast of thought" the business of
our country.
A arrangement of the currency
of the country is like unto the
poisoning of the life blood of a
man, and no greater danger can
await us. A disordered currency
will confuse and demoralize every
transaction in life great and small
from the payment of the daily
wages of labor to the financial ar.
rangement to carry out the vast
est enterprises. No contract car
be safely agreed upon and nc
business can be safely conducted
under it, and no fabric of the saw
ings of industry or accumulations
OF capital can be built upon it o.
prosper in its company. To en-
bark the business and contracts o.
= country upon a currency which
IS not firmly anchored upon ;
stable standard and measure o
value IS TO insure ruin and disaste
