by the commissioners in the city h3ll.
These quarters were secured for term
of three .years-not fve years. as some
of the residents Of the county appear
to infer The lease dates from June Of
last year. so that the county has ac-
commodations for about two years and
FIVE months-it would require nearly
that time, or all Of 1t, TO complete the
prelimnaries, sell county bonds, build
the court house and fit it for occu-
pancy The quarters now held by the
county in The city hall are fairly good
but, at best, city and county are some
what crowded there. The fact Is that
Anaconda grows apace Its population
shows a large increase over the time
when county-seat removal was dis
cussed anything like the ratio of gain
of the past two years sustained for two
years TO come viii find the city COM
PEELED TO use the room the city hall
affords. So that the movement for
court house. in what relates 70 the proper
time for it. is made timely by the con-
ditions just mentioned.
The only other question for those 10
answer who propose to be candid in this
matter and who are ready 70 do that
which is for the eountys best interest,
is the financial policy involved. At
present the county is paying an annual
rental Of $4,000 for room in the city hall,
besides the expense Of additional space
needed in town. The interest on the
proposed bonds will be 5000; the differ
enee between this and the annual
rental charge is a total Of less than
81. 600
Here is the business statement of the
case: The valuation of Deer Lodge
county for 1898 will unquestionably be
IS. o0O,0oo This means that the extra
levy, if the court house is built, will be
about one-quarter of one mill. In other
words. if a persons property is assessed
a one thousand dollars, he Will, on the
basis Of the levy for 1897, pay $3.50 for
taxes Adding the quarter MILL this
win be increased to S27.75, or it will cost
him just twenty-five cents more for the
bonds per year. The added charge fer
the proposed court house bonds will be,
for the man who pays taxes on $4,000,
exactly $1.25 a year
Any voter can prove these statements
by making his own figures. Meanwhile,
the county would certainly appreciate
the benefits which in many ways would
result from the possession Of the pro-
posed court house; Deer Lodge county
certainly is rich enough and prosperous
enough to have a suitable building Of
the kind. Especially the man who owns
property In Anaconda itself will recog-
nize at once the fact that the proposed
bonding means direct benefit to him.
Indeed, the man who. owning city
property. says that he opposes bonding
from business considerations, says that
which. if it is honestly said reflects in
a discreditable way on his intelligence
and common sense.

Who's Doing It2

"a Y the way, who is doing the agi-
tatIng? The goldbugs' cry since
the election of 1896 has been in
stern rebuke of silverites who, they
say, keep agitating the currency ques-
ton all the time and thus render pros
perity's debut embarrassing. Bryan
couldn't move an inch last year with
out being denounced by these goldbugs
as an agitator. The free-coinage news
paper that ventured To bring up one
phase or another of the silver question
was promptly greeted with the COM
mand to sit down and keep still. The
gold-standard people didn't want any
more agitation. and they so persisted
that they undoubtedly impressed the
large majority of the goldbug members
of congress with the idea that the best
policy was TO leave the currency ques-
aion alone. That view is unquestion-
ably held to-day By scores. or the gold
standard congressman who accept
Speaker Reeds leadership.
But the men who detained loud
est against agitation are the very ones
who are keeping up the racket. They
are running seif-eonstituted commits
sions. getting hearings before congress
sional committees. circulating soldbug
literature broadcast, holding conyen-
fions, seeking interviews in the news
uapers, and all that sort Of thing This
very month is TO witness. in Indianapo-
lis, national convention Of the men
who want siIenee-that Is 10 say, silence
on the part of the silverites, and the
man who is managing this convention
gets his talk into the associated press
he actually claims that the growing
strength u the slngIe-staaaar move

Gus parts Of the country VINO say

vention, Sixty really and truly live

and boards of trade, in a national con-
vention dealing with the one live issue
before this nations seventy millions Of
people; and the rally of these sixty,
thus far heard from. shows ''how the
movement is increasing"
But the point suggested this morning
liz the arrogance Of these people If
there is one thing that IL certain il Is
that these men have frowned on sill
vers friends. branding them as disturb
ers and charging upon them prosper
ity's delay, because they didn't stop
agitating, whereas they are DOING all
the talking. Why. they have just had
hours and hours OF a congressional
committees time. and nobody has pro-
tested. All the newspapers printed full
reports of their conference, and there
were no complaints from the silver side.
Yet, the other day. taking minute of
time or less than that, Mr.. Teller intro
duced in the senate a short resolution
declaring that the United states may
lawfully pay all debts in silver or gold,
and instantly whirlwind started in
the goldbug newspapers and they
yelled that Teller is an agitator.
Years ago--more than forty years
ago-the Prussian minister Manteuffel
found his plans badly crossed by a.
loud montlaedt politician. who was al
ways shouting,for free speech and eter-
nally protesting that his kind of people
didn't get fair chance to be heard At
the minister's urgent request. Bis
marek consented TO meet the politician
and try to argue him into more
friendly mood. a dinner was arranged
for Bismarck and his man. The con-
versation ran along without incident
until Bismarck felt the time had come
to drift adroitly toward the matter III
hand. Instantly the politician started
He talked on and on, gesticulating,
waxing eloquent and dec1aimng away,
without giving his table companion
chance to get "A word in edgewise, until
Bismarck, sick of his mission, gave UP
in disgust How did you succeedSl
anxiously inquired the minister after
the interview ended. "Succeed?' re-
Joined Bismarck why, this fellow
claims that we do all the talking but,
as / live, he evidently took me for a
public meeting"
So it is with these goldhugs They
demand the silence of the other side
but they print and talk and argue and
agitate. And the consoling part of it
is that silvers friends can wen afford
TO let them do it.

Worse and More of 1t.

~ ERIoUS as it proved to be. the
~ republican convention at Column
~ bus is but a mild preface to the
party fight which a larger field will wit
ness before the Mckinley administra-
tion is ten months older. At whatever
cost, the Low republicans in the city of
New York, whose vote was nearly two
chimes, will have neither part nor lot
with Plat or his lieutenants in this
years important campaigning.
That point appears to be settled. Re
publican relations that are almost start
ling in their novelty are taking shape
in the Empire state--it is not easy to
accustom ones self to an arrangement
that finds the New York Tribune whal-
ing away at the regular organization
while the New York Sun, with all its
lungs, shouts the praises of the Platt
machine. The Low people always speak
now of Mr.. Platt's regulars as "the
faction" That may be faithfully de-
scriptive, in view of last November.s
mayoralty count, but it sounds strange
one does NOT easily become accus-
toned to it.
For instance, the Plat people have
been doing little preliminary work in
anticipation of the summers import
ant politics. These men are bound 10
do this work: they are the men who
were commissioned by the last repub-
lican state convention to do it. But
the New York Tribune says: Steps
have just been taken by faction of the
republican party which. if the course
entered on is kept to the end. will in
eyitably defeat all of Mr.. Platt's can
didates and give the state 10 the demo-
Gratis by exemplary maiorities."
That means that Haekett and the
others who We're named by the repub-
1ieans in state convention to manage
the organization, must step absolutely
out and give the management to the
Low people, who have no credentials
