CHRISTMAS TREES.
Evergreens Arc Already Being Brought
TO Anaconda

This week there will be a thriving
business in pine, fir and spruce ever
greens. Already the Christmas trees
have begun to come in and before the
week is out there will be loads and
loads of them. Some OF the choicest
punches are procured in the hills hor-
dering Mill creek valley and the mount
aims west of here also furnish their
share One wagon load brought In last
Friday by an Anaconda expressman
has aroused considerable admiration.
The trees are both high and bushy,
with branches straight and protruding at
equal intervals. The symmetry Of these
trees from bottom to top is perfect,
making altogether just such a Christ
mas tree as people want. The trees are
young frs, which are considered better
than the spruce, although the latter
will doubtless find ready sale during
the week.
The prices for Christmas trees range
from % cents to 81, with an exceptional
tree here and there bringing higher
price on account of size and particular
beauty.
Many Of the trees which delight the
little ones on Christmas eve come in on
top of woodhaulers' loads, and their
sale helps to swell the Christmas reve-
nues of the men who furnish the fuel
that keeps the Christmas hearth aglow.

Little Daughter of the Salvation Army
Captain Is Stricken.
No longer does the big bass drum
beat upon the streets Of Anaconda or
evenings. No longer is the powerful
voice of Captain Brown, the sturdy
Salvationist, raised in earnest supplica-
ton to the multitude to seek salvation.
No longer does the sweet music Of his
wife's singing fall nightly on the ears
of the Main street pedestrians. There
is deep trouble in the Brown household
and the shadow Of death Is lowering
over this home.
Several days ago the little daughter
of the family, the fair little maid who
sometimes takes part in the evening
street services, was stricken with scar
let fever. She is very i'll, but DIR. Eng

she will survive. Because of her ILL
ness the Brown home in the rear of the

How to Overthrown Trusts.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
If tariff Is SO excessive as to promote
domestic monopoly 1t Is unreasonahly APP
piled, even from the orthodox view Of re-
publicanism, and 1t should be altered in
such manner and measure as to neither
create, foster nor sustain monopolistic
trusts, which control the conditions of
trade, stifle wholesome competition, de-
cree arbitrary prices by restricting pro-
duction and depressing labor and con-
sumers by their interruptions and dis
honest practices. Are the president and
congress equal to the situation? Is any
other plan for the confusion and over
throw of the trusts feasible or possible?

REFORMS RECOMMENDED
In the Annual Report of the Inspector
General.

Tribune from Washington says:
Inspector General Breckinridge's an
nual report to the general commanding
in this year, as formerly, INDUCES in a
searching review Of the conduct Of the
army and expert criticism of its or
ganization of the most interesting and
valuable character. 1t is an unusually
voluminous document with many ex-
cellent Photographic illustrations, and
will prove entertaining and instructive
not only to officers in the service. but
to legislators who will be called upon
to consider needed reforms in the ser
vice. 1t Is notable that nearly all the
inspector generals suggestions were
adopted by Secretary Root in his rec
concentrations to congress.
General .Breckinridge says:
"All experience shows that we may
periodically have war and our late
mere mobilization shows what inexSe-
rience may cause us and our children
to endure.
Sanitation, where there are no fam
lily ties nor modern conveniences is
more difficult to teach and enforce
among greenhorns than the manual OF
arms or musketry, and the more troops
go under canvas and learn tactics and
technical operation on the ground and
now to take care or themselves, the pet

the new organization called out for the
defense Of our country's flag.

penditure of money could so quickly

~ EPUBLICAN demagogy in de-
batting the currency bill in the
" house was not confined to Mr..
Dolliver by any means. 1t was on
tap in wholesale lots. The attempt of
General Grosvenor and Mr.. Dalzell to
run bluff" upon the democratic side
by declaring that it was afraid to offer
a free coinage amendment was not
only dishonest but positively idiotic. II
true it would have proved that the re-
publican campaign last fall was char
acterized by the most unmitigated
falsehood, for it was everywhere in
sisted by the republican managers and
stump speakers that the democra tic
party was still clinging to the sixteen
to one "heresy."
But it was even more idiotic than 1t
was dishonest, because both Grosvenor
and DalZell ought to have known that
the bluff" would be instantly called,
which it was. Half the democratic side
of the house was instantly upon the
floor clamoring for opportunities to Of
fer such an amendment. And If the

will come to naught. But every south

From the beginning to the end the

Will Deceive Nobody.

rHE Mckinley organ in Butte re-
Gently devoted two columns Of
editorial space to an "explana-
ton" of why no honest and self-re-
specting silver man can afford to act
with the democratic party. The article
can be easily understood as an open
confession of purpose to support the
republican party hereafter. In that
sense, although the admission was un-
necessary, 1t possesses certain value,
but in no other is it worth either the
blank paper or the printers ink con-
sumed.
1t is barely possible that somewhere
and at some time in the great field of
American journalism, two-column
editorial has appeared which contained
less Of truth than does the one referred
to, but happily we have never seen 1t.
1t has been our misfortune to note
some other articles in the same news
paper that were just as bad as the one
in question, but we freely admit that
none of them was worse.
The substance of the article is that
the democratic party has virtually
abandoned silver by making the issue
no longer paramount" that this has
been done as a concession to the gold
wing, and with the understanding that
if successful, there will be no legisla-
ton in the interest Of silver; that free
itself, would be loaded down and
smothered by a thousand and one
vagares: that General Grant once re-
marked that the best way to get rid
of bad law is to enforce 1t: that the
democratic press Of Montana is not
honestly for free coinage, and that no
democratic leader of national promi-
hence has declared that silver should
be the paramount issue in 1900.
OF these there is just one statement
that Is probably true--the reference to
the remark ascribed to Grant-and that
one has not the slightest bearing upon
any question in dispute. When the
! gold standard is fully enacted, pre-
sumably 1t will be enforced. but If 1t
! is a bad law, as the organ" admits
| 1t to be- that furnishes no reason why
| one who is opposed to the law should
support the party enacting it, and
! Grant never gave the slightest sane
ton to so monstrous an idea.
| Besides. there Is a difference in bad
laws" Some may be enacted that
merely result in q trifling inconven-
fence, or work inequity in few isolated
cases. Such a law IS easily repealed
when its defects are discovered. But
a gold standard law giving extraordi-
nary privileges and advantages to the
banking class. not only works grave
injustice to multitudes of others, but
at the same time it so securely en-
trenches the favored ones in their posi-
ton, as TO make it infinitely more diff
cult to wrest from them their coigne of
vantage, and obtain the desired re-
lief.
Those who were reaping the ad-
vantages would claim, as they have al
along, that the trouble was not witt
the gold standard but something else
It would be ascribed to the very effor
that was being made to obtain relief
