The following story comes from Bel
gium: Two fellow-travelers got into con-
versation and came upon the subject of
free baggage, when one of them asked
leave to measure the others trunk. The
result was that the measurer said:
your trunk is ~ centimeters too long,
and has no right to be in the compart-
ment of free luggage. 1 I'M a railway in
spector and must fine you 3 f.. Please
give me your name and address.
The proposed victim of misplaced conf
dence was, however. equal to the occasion.
KINDLY lend me your measure that | may
satisfy myself on the subject" Then. with
a polite smile. II am a director in the
royal weights and measures office. To my
great regret / notice that your measure
is not stamped, as required by law, so
that, firstly, your measuring is not le-
gally valid, and. secondly. 1t is my pain
full duty to subject YOU TO a fine of 80 f.
Please give me your name and address"

CALL TO THE FAITHFUL
An Address to Silver Republic
cans by Senator Mantle.
THE SITUATION REVIEWED
Silver Republicans Should Maintain and
Perfect Their Observation-Disclosures
of Silver Forces to Embraces
Counties and Districts.

an address 10 the silver republicans
OF the state was issued last evening over
The signature of Senator Lee Mantle,
central committee. The address is as
follows:
ITO the Silver Republicans of Mon
tana: The unusual conditions which
surround the political situation ia our
state at this time, and particularly the
unexpected circumstances which at
eended n rendered necessary the for
NATION of the silver republican party.
must be my apology. If apology be need
ed, for presuming to send out this al
dress in advance of the meeting of their
state convention.
The events which led up to the divis-
Son in the republican ranks in Montana
and the formation of the silver republic
can party may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:
For years the national republican
party had been declaring in favor of hi
metallism and promising to do some
thing for silver. Here in Montana and
throughout the West generally. the local
republican organization, under the
promises contained i'm the national plat
forms, had made the broadcast possible
DECLARATIONS ana pledges IN faNcf OF
silver. and thep press and the spokesman
of the party were unreservedly COM
united 10 the policy of the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver upon equal
terms with gold. This vas the situa-
tion when the national republican con
Tention met at st. Louis in June, 1896.
That convention deliberately aba ldoned
the position the republican par V had AL
ways occupied upon the subject of oI-
metallism and for the first time in it's
history or in the history of u country,
declared in favor of maintaining the sin
gle gold standard until foreign nations
would give their consent to international
bimetallism. The result Of this abandon
ment by the national republican party
of n of the cardinal principles Of its
political faith, was, that more than a
million republicans cast their votes for
the silver standard bearer, William J.
Bryan-not a he was a democrat,
but because he solemnly declared that
the restoration of bimetallism was the
paramount issue before the people. Two
millions of populists also temporarily
~subordinated their beliefs upon other is
sues and helped to swell the grand total
for silver to nearly six and one-haif
million votes.
This sudden change Of policy on the
part of the national republican party
with respect to silver, not only aimed a
crushing blow at a great industry in
what are known as the silver-producing
