The interests of silver are paramount
to the personal likes and dislikes repre-
scented by the democratic row in Helena,
and. while that disagreeable contest is to
be deplored by every loyal citizen of the
state, the welfare of this commonwealth
must not be lost sight of. Had the
Standard taken an honest, determined
stand on the silver question, and pledged
its candidate to the ratio of 16 to l If
elected to the senate, instead of declar-
ing that the ratio was irrelevant to the
silver issue. it would doubtless have COM
manded the support of the silver repub-
licans in the joint assembly. If it has
lost that support through mismanage-
ment in the selection of a candidate for
it's wing of the democratic party, and by
it's treachery to the paramount issue of

Instead of wasting valuable time try
lican party is, the Anaconda Standard
should try and locate itself politically as
speedily as possible-if it wants to elect
a senator. Having repudiated the ratio
of 16 to 1, it ceases to be a democratic
force in Montana; and having attempted
to swallow Whiteside without scraping
the scales off. it has ceased to be any
other kind of a political force. 1t should
lose no time in establishing its own
identity-if it has one.

NO INDICTMENTS FOUND.

The grand jury having failed to find
sufficient evidence of bribery to justify
an indictment the course of those who
are dissatisfied with the findings is
plain. 1t will do no good to practice con-
tempt of court at long range, and impute
dishonorable motives to a body Of men
called together in conformity to law, and
by request Of the joint assembly, to de-
terrnine the truth or falsity of the charges
preferred; it will do no good to hurl in
suits at the city of Helena or cast refec-
But one course is left open to those who
honestly and sincerely believe hat
money has been improperly used in an
effort to control the senatorial election.
1t is the duty of those men, if unwilling
to accept the conclusions of the grand
jury as final, to promptly lay the charges
of bribery before the joint assembly and
demand such action by that body as it
submitted to it. 1t has the power to sub
pocna witnesses, to weigh evidence, and
reach a verdict consistent with the wei.

the state.
Unless those who still insist that thu
bribery charges were true take this tel

When Mr.. Whiteside stated on the floor
of the joint assembly that a man who
would vote for Mr.. Clark for senator
would barter the virtue of his wife or
daughter for gold, he betrayed his real
nature. Men who have no use for Mr.,
Clark feel an indispensable disgust for a
man who would p~rofane the Legislative
halls with such an expression.

Purpose and Number As Shown By the
Interior Department.

On June 80, 1898, there were thirty for
est reservations, exclusive Of the Afok-
max forest and fish culture reserve in
Alaska, embracing an estimated area Of
40, 719, ia acres. During the past year
two of the forest reserves, the Trabuco
anon, California, and Black Hills,
South Dakota and Wyoming, have been
considerably enlarged, the area of the
Mount Rainier reserve in the state of
Washington has been somewhat re-
duced, and six additional reserves have
been established, namely, the San Fran
cisco mountain, Arizona; the Black Me-
ga, Arizona; Lake Tahoe, California;
Gallatin, Montana; ella river, New
Mexico, and Fish Lake, Utah, the total
estimated area of which is 5,025,772
acres. This makes at the present time
a total of thirty-six forestry reserva-
tions, embracing an estimated area of
As, 021, 1893 acres. This estimated area is
the aggregated areas within the bound
ly reserved are, however, only the va
can't public lands therein, and these
have been set aside and reserved for
sale or settlement in order that they
may be of the greatest use to the people.
Protection of the national forests, in-
augurated by the department of the in
terror in 1897, has been continued dur
ing the past year, and much has been
accomplished in the way of preventing
forest fires and the protection of the
timber. There are now large tracts COW

be reserved and set apart for first uses,

specialist in the diseases of women. He

for diseases of the womanly organs and
n~iiety-eight out of every hundred women
he has treated have been absolutely and
perfectly cured. Every letter received
by Dr.. Pierce, is treated as a purely per-
sonal and private communication and its
contents guarded as a sacred confidence.
All answers to these letters are sent in

sick women to write to a nan unless he
is a doctor. 1t is no use to write to a

Write to a woman about cookery or any
branch of housekeeping, because she is
a woman and knows. But it is of ne use
to write to a woman about disease unless
she has a doctors training and diploma.
A woman who isn't a doctor is just as dan.
gerous as a man who isn't a doctor, when
she undertakes to treat disease.
There is no qualified woman physician
90 far as is known connected with any
proprietary medicine put up for women
Even the "bearded %woman," the man
who advertises "write to a woman" is
not a qualified physician and stands too
much in fear of the lawto claim that he is.
There is no other physician, male or
female, who, like DR.. Pierce has a record
of over thirty years, as chief consulting
physician of a we'll known institution,
