THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The annual message of President
Mckinley to congress was presented
last Monday. 1t is an able document,
reviewing briefly all notable events
that transpired during the war, and
clearly states the present existing con-
ditions. Everything is Set forth
clearly, in plain language, and on
broad and non partisan lines. The in
crease of the standing army and the
interests of labor receive brief recon-
mendations, but the scheme Of the In
dlauapolis monetary convention is en-
tirely left out, and no mention is
made regarding it. The message is a
straightforward presentment of the
affairs of the nation, in business
like manner, and is characteristic of
the firm and impartial position which
marks the past record Of the president.

THE ENEMIES OF BIMETALLISM,

John Lind, the recently elected Demo
cratic governor of Minnesota, is quoted
as saying that the silver question was
settled in 1896, and that he proposed to
give the gold standard people chance.
Mr.. Lind is the first Democratic gov
error who has been elected in his
state in forty years, and during
the campaign his especial efforts were
directed against the principles of bimet-
allism and he openly expressed his
views on that subject while umping his
state This is just another verifica ion
Of the assertion that silver was used
as an issue only in certain localities or
geographical spots by the Democrats,
and for a double purpose. In silver
producing sections the Democrats ad-
vocated free coinage and in other parts
of the country they were opposed to
iree coinage ana IN this manner they ex-
pected to meet the demands of all and
carry the election Now that the cleo

good politics and glory in the result ac-
complished in this state. There will be
other elections coming, however, in the
future. and the voters of Montana will
need no instructions as to which party,
if placed in power, will do most for the
cause of bimetalllsm, which is wholly a
Republican issue, and will only be at
tanned through the continued success of
that party.

This department did a land office busl-
