THE WORTH OF A DOLLAR.

Those great metropolitan dailies, the
Sun, Evening Post, and World, of New
York, differ in many respects-difrer
widely and radically-but they are three
OF kind when it comes to lying about
the silver dollar and it's value. We may
suspect the World of sheer ignorance
when it says that "a standard silver dol
lar is now worth almost exactly 40
cents" The World is not remarkable for
the eXtentior the accuracy Of it's infor.
nation. The Sun and the Evening Post,
however, are distinguished for intelli.
gence-as distinguished for that as for
the vicious and ignoble uses to which
they sometimes put it. They are per-
fectly aware that, in saying ''the silver
dollar is worth but 40.13 cents" they are
saying what is not true, and that DELHI
erately They know that the silver dol
lar, bearing the stamp of the United
States, IS worth exactly 100 cents, and
that it will be received Mt that value by
the Government. 1t simply happens that
in no matter relating to silver coinage
are these Wall street organs willing to
tell the truth.
1t is very unfortunate, though, in view
of the closing of the worlds minis to the
white metal it is entirely logical and in
evitable that the bullion value. of silver
should decline so sharply. The uses
silver, save for money, are very limited
Like gold, silver has little intrinsic value
that is to say, it is susceptible of con-
version into very few agents OF practical
utility. a man cast away upon an unin-
habited island and fin ling there a ton of
virgin silver would cheerfully exchange
the whole treasure for frying pan, n
Jackknife, or an iron spoon. The Klon-
dixie Argonauts, should they suddenly
be cut oil forever from intercourse with
civilization, would be glad to give all
their gold for an aye--apiece or the means
Of procuring simple food. The intrinsic
value of these metals is very slight. They
are of no use whatever to a man in a
state of nature, and to organized society,
outside of coinage, they stand for little
more than ornament and luxury. 1t fol-
ioNo' chClclOtej IudG III CLOSING Gne mlntS
to silver the world has Invested silver of
nine tenths CT its utility and value. The
same result would follow similar ac-
tion with reference to gold. Neither
metal would be in any serious demand or
bring any considerable price if the ma
tions should. by common consent, destroy
their money attribute.
The fact about silver is that, so long rs
1t remains excluded from the worlds
mints, its bullion value must depreciate.
but it is not true-it is absurdly and i'm
pudently false-that the value of the
stamped coin has declined, or that it can
decline so long as the nation which has
stamped it continues to he solvent The
silver dollar will buy just as much now
rs 1t did ten years ago. IT will buy 100
cents worth. These New York news
papers, with the possible exception of the
World, know that it will, and are striv-
ing only to confuse the public mind and
to disseminate II Washington Post.

The ShOup Road.

County Commissioner Hendricks,
O. G. Cooper and Tony Durham got
back to Hamilton last Sunday from
trip to Shoup, Idaho, where they had
heen to look over the road, interview
the people of Shoup and Investigate
the pro position of putting a wagon
road through the Bitter Root valley
to that camp. They say that there
is fair road on this side for quite a
distance, and for a part Of the way
on the other side, and'that there will
be about twenty-five miles Of pretty
hard road to build. The people Of
Shoup would be glad to have the
road put through .as they have the
greatest difficulty now in getting
supplies and machinery into the
camp. All the machinery SO far
brought in had to be RATED and a
large percentage Of it was lost and
had to be purchased over again. Hay
and grain is almost unknown there,
although they have to be had for
the teams worked by the mining
companies. Hay is worth S. Il hun
dred and grain the same, and none
but the companies have any. The
road out the 'other way is now 50
that concentrates from the mills
cannot be shipped and are thrown
away, the ore in the properties now
being worked is free milling, but as
depth is reached it is getting baser
and concen trates must yet be ship
ped, and this can only be accomplish
ed by way OF a road through to the
railroad in this valley. The mining
companies say they will cheerfu]ly
neIp 70 Jne extent Or their share in
putting in road, and if this is done
this valley will have a good market
for supplies which will all be bought
here. The gentlemen are confident
that with such a road as can be built
the Bitter Root valley will reap a
great benefit, and the trip can be
made from Hamilton easily in two
days with q load, They seem to be
Of the opinion that it would be a
good thing all around. -o......"..#

Fanatics Kill 5000,

New York, July 26.-A dispatch,
to the Herald from Rio de Janeiro
says that information has reached
that city to the effect that more than
5000 soldiers have been killed in a
big battle near the site of Candor.
The fanatics, numbering more than
10000 men, all well armed, attacked
the government troops. Whole bri-
gades Of the soldiers we're swept
down and destroyed, trampled under
foot as the victorious fanatjiDs, with
wild, hodrse shouts of triumph, pass
ed oyer' them. The full extent of
the loss OF Life cannot be told. There
is no reasOable doubt, however, that
the loss in killed on both sides is
more than 5000.
For miles: the ground around Can.
dor is strewn with the dead and dy.
ing. The government troops were
compelled to leave their dead on the
field and flee to save themselves from
complete destruction by the ayalan
che Of fanatics.
When the report Of the awful bat
tic. reached Rio de Janeiro it was
considered by the president and min
istry and it was decided to send the
minister of war to the scene next
week with 10000 men who are now
gathering. Fighting has been ir

To Pay Scouts.

Washington. July 3o.-Through
the efforts Of Senator Shoup provision
has been made in the Indian appro-.
priation bill for the payment to the
Indian scouts who served in the Nez
Perce war under General Howard in
the sum Of $3.50 per day during act
ual service Of each man. About 100
Indians have applied for payment at
this rate and their claims have been
urged upon the attention of the in
terror and war departments by Sena-
tor Shoup. The senator before leav-
ing the city was in receipt of a COM
munication from the commissioner Of
Indian affairs, stating that after q
full investigation and consideration
of the matter it had been found inn
possible to identify the applicants as
the scouts performing the services.
and the claims could not be acted
upon until more complete evidence
was furnished Of such service.

democratic voters" five months later
Although the democratic papers Of
Montana still insist that nothing
will come OF the efforts OF the bime-
tallic commission, the democracy of
Maryland are not so sure Of that, and
are already prepared to claim the
credit for democracy. And the pros
perlty and happiness which will fol-
low in the train Of international BIZ
metallsm, after it has been secured
in by,a republican administration and
accord with pledge Of the republi-
can party, will be due to "the cour-
age, undauntcd fidelity and intelli~
gent patriotism Of the democracy"
Now, doesn't that sound pretty? 1t
sounds a good deal like some Of the
grandiloquent talk in Spanish papers
about the "honor, pride, bravery and
chivalry of the Spanish nation sub
DUNG and pacifying Cuba," while at
the same time the guns Of the Gu
bans are laundering at the very
gates of Havana and soaring the life
out of the brave and chiyalrous Span
iards.
We do not question the "courage"
Of the democracy in placing some
planils in it's national platform that
were obnoxious to four-tifths Of the
American people; nor have we ever
questioned the ''undaunted fidelity'
OI nlncty-ninc out OF cvrey one hun
dred democrats to anything that has
q democratic label on it. But We
draw the line at "intelligcnt patriot
ism Of the democracy" in the late
campaign. If there was anything of
"patriotic" in that campaign fit
was exercised by the silver republi-
cans and populists who subordinatcd
party success to the one principle:
and not to the party which simply
followed where its leaders led, which
was actuated more by the desire for
Office than by "intelligcnt patriot
ISM" which took up the cry for free
coinage after knocking the last prop
from nnder silver in an extra session
called for that especial purpose by a
president of its own faith elected on
Il platform promulgated by its ma
tional convention which pledged the
party to the repeal of the purchasing
clansc. Of the Sherman act, which
| pledge it carried out as soon as it
had the power, and which only took
up the cry Of silver because it had no
othcc to raise with any nope OF sue
cess. We repeat, if anyone should
have credit for "intelligcnt patriot
ISM it is the silver republicans and
populists, and not the party which
now claims as its own the six and
one-half million votes cast against
the republicans, presidential can
didate, and which couldn't have
made even u decent showing without
the aid OF the others named.

Pay Big For Power,

We learned from undoubted au-
thority chat there is g. strong prob
ability Of the Canyon Ferry project
being pushed to early completion and
that it viii be completed as origin
ally designed with the full height Of
thirtytiye feet and the full sized
power house. The probable aban-
donmeut Of the later idea of only
putting onc-half power in operation
is due to the negotiation of the dam
company with the Butte Power COM
pany, an organization just organized
for the purpose, which is now nego-
tiating with the dam company for
the purchase Of 5000 horse power.
If this is complcted-and we have
reason to believe it will bc-the
dam will be hurried to completion
within the next ninety days. The
Butte Power company will receive
the power at the dam and will pay
in the neighborhood of $175,O0O pei
annum for the same and will trans
nit it to Butte where they will: re-
tail it to those needing power in tho
SltateSC mfulHS calHp ON carJn FOL
over $500, 600 per annum. The plant
for transmitting the power it is esti
mated will cost about $400,000 Th(
distance is fifty-s miles by the sur
vey, which only dcviates from an al
line one. and one-half miles. Th
wire for the transmission Of the
power will be hung on cedar pole
and the construction of line will be
gin Immediately after She negotia
tions are completed. d.-Husbandman
