Hon. o. M. Holmes, editor of the
Great Falls News, who delivered the
address here Miners day, gives this
town a good send-off in his last
number. He says:

Of the many idle silver mines, is one

and practices as we'll as promulgates
its principles. Beside maintaining
its integrity during the trying period
that has followed the slump in silver
four years ago, it has acted the Good
Samaritan by paying thousands of
dollars in sick and funeral benefits.
The union also maintains a library
that affords an extended variety OF
profitable reading. The future OF
this union is as certain as is the
future of Neihart-when silver is re-
established, Neihart will be the
greatest silver camp on earth, and
then its union will occupy an equally
prominent and stable position.

retire to private life after IL years of
leadership, eight of which he spent
as president of the United States,

symptoms of sorrow or regret in the
ranks of the democracy. But Bryan,
the standard bearer of a few months,
the defeated chieftain, with no rec
ord of domination to commend him,
with no background of successful
leadership and no atmosphere of Off

is in the mouths of all democrats; his

are pleased to call "the passing of

retain the federal offices to which Mr..
Cleveland appointed them four years
ago. Others are patiently awaiting
the Cleveland millennium four years
hence. Bryan is their bugaboo, and

A MEANINGLESS PROPOSITION.

A meeting of some importane to
Neihart and Barker was held in Hell
n one day last week where repre-
sentatives Of the CT. Northern rail-
way, the smelters, and some of the
local mines met to discuss rates of
transporting and smelling the ores
of this district. The press reports of
this meeting are our only means of
knowing its results; and from them
m of two things is evident. Either
the press reports are meager and
muddled; or, what the reporter calls
an agreement is really not ar agree
ment. All we are able to gather
from the proceedings amounts to a
promise based upon very indefinite
conditions. The ~indefniteness of the
expressed conditions wholly destroys
the validity of the quasi agreement.
These men, representing carriers
and smelters, made an offer of rates
including freight and smelter charg-
es which is stipulated to go into eff
feet "whenever the mine owners will
give them assurances of making en-
larged shipments" Note the words
In quotation. Anyone with a grain
of sense knows thet enlarged ship
ments," when incorporated into an
agreement, may mean anything, or
nothing. A little farther on the con
dltions are re -stated, "the rates will
go into effect as soon as they have
assurances of sufficient shipments to
warrant it," A London fog could be
no clearer than this last clause.
Who is to judge how much shall be
Sufficient s~hipments?"
We have already explained that
the press account might have been
incomplete as to actual details. If
so, the HERALD would like to know
it; and the mine owners and miners
will be glad to avail themselves of
any advantages the offer may have
for them.
But it has occurred to us that if
those, who set out so vigorously to
aid the camps of Neihart and Barker
as to travel all the way to Helena to
effect their deliberations, had pub
lished a ~clean-cut statement agreeing
to reduce the rates of carrying and
treating ores of this district for a
specified time, say three months, af-
ter which they would continue the
cut-rate, provided that ore shipments
from Neihart and Barker shall have
increased to 1000 tons monthly, or
to some specified amount, otherwise,
to the former rate, the mine
owner would then pay ome atten-
to it.
Both freight and smelter charges
upon ores from Neihart and Barker
are exorbitant. We base this state
ment not upon an understanding of
the railway and smelling business, SO
much as upon a full knowledge that
better rates are accorded other camps
where neurological conditions are
similar to those at Neihart. 1t is a
sort of sure-thing game, where the
traffic can not well get away.
In order to stimulate or incite the
mine owner here to greater effort,
the companies desiring an increased
mineral output should rather make a
definite announcement, couched in
plain horse language, which to a
mine owner would bear the stamp of
business, and the desired results may
follow. But there is no profit in go
ing to Helena, only to work off a
batch of hollow, meaningless propo-
s%itions, such as the one recently pub
lished.
