them.

! New York Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean,:
Mr.. John KAISER, of Arizona, is superin-
Itendent of the Live Oak Copper. Mining
and Smelling company, with mines at
Globe, Ariz., and he is here With his wife
on business. They are at the Broadway
NCentral. For some time past there has
sibeen hanging abou the corridor Of the
lBroadWay Central a gentleman possessed
of a certain appearance of sickness which
! has not commended him to the favorable
tnotice of the clerks. On Tuesday morning
his person accosted Mr.. KAISER, who was
standing, looking disconsolately out into
the rain, II attempted to start a con-
versation. KAISER was suspicious. how
ever, and replied in the most formal way.
Yesterday the two met in the hotel corri-
dor again, and the stranger invited Kas-
ser to go and sit doWn With him and have
Ia cigar. KAISER consented, and the either
led the way to a table where sat a young
man. with a ~protruding under jaw. Il
striped shirt and a glass diamond. The
friendly stranger gave no open intimation
that he knew this man, but kicked him,
as he sat down. AS the man didn't rise
up and wipe the floor With the kicker, Mr..
KAISER decided that the pair knew more
about each other than they seemed to
know. Presently all three were engaged
in conversation. Mr.. KAISER answered
all their questions about himself with a
confiding smile, and accepted gracefully
his new friends invitation to smoke a 20
cent cigar. Inc Otnef TWO men Hdu
drinks. and the friendly mar paid for
them. Then said he to Mr.. KAISER: "You
don't drink anything, I see. but l guess
you're out for a good ltime, eh"'
A slow, warm smile overspread the
westerner's placid face.
II thought So cried the other. "There's
a little game running uptown, very quiet
ly. and l can put you next. Say, my
friend he added to the man on the other
side of the table. "do you play cards?.'
IVY shoo-err-rr,' groWled he OF the
protrusive jaw.
Come on, then: We'll all go there and
have a little friendly game" said the
friendly man, blitholy. He. started to
rise. but felt Mr.. kasser's hand on his
shoulder. and saw Mr.. kasser's beaming
smile very close to his own face.
HAY you got a pencil?' aked Mr..
KAISER.
Pencil? Why certainly. What do
you want of it?"

THE PRACTICAL SIDE.

The ~post-bellum arguments against the
to time in the columns of some of the
democratic organs in Montana, are not
as interesting to the public at his time.
as would be a little well written litera-
ture as to the purposes of the national
democracy in 1900. Long-Ninded articles
on the responsibility for the gold plank
in the republican platform in 1896 are of
no more interest, from a practical stand
point, than the vexed problem as to who
killed Cock Robin.
1t is vastly more important to the
public to know why leading democrats
are willing to displace silver for another
paramount issue in the next campaign.
after declaring in 1896 that free coinage
would remain the leading issue before
the American people, until it was settled
and settled right. A few choice demo-
cratic editorials, explanatory of what
this change of front portends, would be
of far more interest than learned essays
on whether Noah had any gold-bugs in
his collection of animals in the ark.
If Rryan's attitude as to a new para
mount issue is too distressing a topic
for home consumption in a silver state,
there still e,nains the action of the
democratic party in the house of repre-
sentatives when the currency bill was
passed. The public has been confiden-
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-12-30

TALLY informed by the democratic press
of this state that the eastern democrats
have fallen into line for silver and that
"everything is lovely and the goose hangs
high But it was democrats-and DEM
ocrats alone-who objected to the intro
duction of a substitute for the currency
bill. in the shape OF q free coinage bill
which nobody had prepared and which
had not been agreed to by the demo-
cratic caucus.
Moreover, it was a democrat from a
silver state = the only representative
from this state in that body-who failed
to introduce a silver bill in the demo-
cratic caucus, to show how lovingly the
brethren dwelt together in peace, and
who subsequently failed to remain at his
post of duty and beard the golden
whiskered lion in his den. During his
absence, eleven of his party associates
voted for the currency bill that officially
%ratifies the gold standard. And he was
not there to hold them in line for the
platform of 1896! There is a fine field for
u democratic contemporaries to en-
large on the vital features of the free
coinage issue. Why don't they do it?
