E. b. NoRELL PARDONED.
Many Friends at Neihart Heartily
Indorsc the Governors A action.

Gov. Smith has granted a pardon
to E. b. Norell, the Havre town
treasurer, who pleaded guilty to en-
bczzlement in February, 1896, and
was sentenced to five years in the
pentientiary The governor recon-
mends to the board of pardons that.
in case the pardon be approved, No
rell be discharged Feb 20, next,
Just two years from date of sentence.
In letter to the board, the gov
ernor says: "Since his imprison
ment lie has repaid all of his short
age, and his bondsmen are among
those who ask for his pardon. ! am
constrained to act favorably in this
case by reason of his conduct in ar
ranging for the satisfaction of his
shortage, and because almost the en-
tire community where the offense
occurred, as well as the Judge who
sentenced him, and many other good
citizens, petition for his pardon"
Two petitions in Norell's behalf
were presented to the governor.
One was signed by 20 we'll known
citizens of Neihart. and the other by
% equally prominent residents of
Havre. There were also number
of very strong letters. Judge Du-
bose indorsed the pardon in a warm
letter, and so did an associate us
tice of the supreme court of North
Dakota, who had known Norell in
the SOS Frank Peavy, Minneap-
oils grain dealer for whom Norell
had worked, did more to bring about
the pardon than anyone. He has
been working to that end for over a
year, having written letters to Gov.
Richards. He was assisted by 7. G.
Power, who presented the matter to
the governor in person. Probably
few cases that the governor has had
to consider possessed apparently so
much merit. The man seems to
have been possessed Of plenty of
good friends, who did not forget
him in his hour of need Two min
isters, Rev. F. A. Riggin and Rev.
Van Orsdell, joined in asking the
governor to act. Probably the
strongest point in his favor was the
fact that he is suffering from con
sumption and at best has not long to
live. The general opinion of those
who pleaded for him seemed to be
that he was not dishonest by inclin-
alton, but was simply weak mental
ly, and that he took the money in
the hope of being able to repay it.

NEIHART HAS A FUTURE.

done to raise the price of silver.
Such persons do not deserved to be
scorned. Every town has them.
They are the know alls, the wise
acres, the false prophets of the age,
and, as the necessary adjunct of
every community-we must endure
them
Every resident of Neihart who
has resided here for ten or twelve
years will bear us out in statement
relating to Great Falls. When that
thriving town was first settled and
in the subsequent years, there could
always be found those who secuted
the idea of a town being made at
such a place. They said the water
power is nothing. That the town is
doomed beyond reason. Yet in the
face of the omnipresent croaker the
town has forged ahead until it ranks
among the first cities of Montana,
and in the course Of a few years will
doubtless be the largest town be
tween the twins and the coast
The same discouraging things
have been said of Neihart. That
her mines continue not with depth.
That no work could be done with
silver below So cents That the ore
grows baser with depth. And last
year the smart Alex, in dozen
punches. said that he would leave
Neihart if Bryan failed of election.
Bryan failed, and yet the now-all is
with us. He hasn't left town and is
not thinking of leaving. Because
the town could not run without him.
True the times are hard, and the
kicker feels depression as much as
anyone else. He requires encour-
agement. But we say, continue the
struggle, as that is the only way to
win out.
Let us examine our own progress
during the years Of financial de-
preston. In the face of all depre-
oatiye talk, our mines are improving.
New mines are being opened. Be
fore the panic of '93 we had only
three or four mines in camp. Now
the number is doubled. The Flor
ence and the Big Seven have deyel-
oped into very rich properties, and
IA half dozen other erstwhile pros
poets have heen turned into mines
This improvement has been going
on during the depression.
Of course times are hard, and will
continue to be so as long as we re-
main on the gold standard. Times
will continue to grow harder for the
entire world, so long as money
stands on gold alone. We must ex.
pect it, and not deceive ourselves by
the arrival Of every furry of bust
ness.
The salvation of the worlds bus
mess lies in free coinage of both
gold and silver, and the cause OF
free coinage grows brighter as the
worlds business grows duller- as
prices fall lower. If times grow
better and better under the gold
standard, the chances for silver's re-
storation grow smaller and smaller
1t is against the law of monetary
science to expect prices to cease to
fall while we remain on the gold
standard. And the readers will re-
member the statement of Senator
Chandler, made only few months
ago. He said then that if the pri-
ces of commodities shall cease to fall
the fnanciers may fasten upon the
world the gold standard; but if those
prices continue to fall, such result i:
an impossibility.
