There are all kinds Of hard
stories being told on the Mon
taua Legislature and evidently
there is a solid foundation for
them. The Republicans have a
majority of sixteen in the legis-
Iature, 'but in spite of that
an old mSn of 60 years who has
never done anything except to
pile up millions in Copper aud
who passed for 4 Democrat "a
bad one) was elected. 1t is
charged by the honest portion
of the Republicans that W. A.
Clark offered as high as $50, 900
for a single vote and the result
shows there were takers. Well,
say he paid $3.50, 900 for his seat
in the u. S Senate, what of it,
nothing but this, he will work
for J cent more protection on
copper and then make hundreds
of thousands of dollars out Of
the investment. See?

That "Daad Issue. "

: For an issue that is dead. the
silver question is calling upon
its devoted head Il surprising
amount of cudgeling. The or
gans OF the gold standard
cIiques never fail to bit the
dead issue" about seven times
week. They start out by tell.
ing how very dead the silver
question was killed in 1896. and
they congratulate themselves
and the country that the craze
lies in an unmarked and forgot
ten grave, and that even its
ghost has disintegrated and re-
turned to the elements of the
universe. They feel 50 sure
that gold now sits us the ever
lasting king in the world OF
money they make boll to say
that Only Il man here and there
can be found who cling5 to the
Irldeous fdllacy.
Bat as they work down the
column it seems to dawn upon
them that perhaps it would b.
the safer plan to admit that the
ghost has not altogether disin-
tergratcd. and warn the public
against it. The body is dead
enough, which is the Democrat
ic party, they say, but the
friends Of gold shoald beware
les the spook teguile them into
the silver path. 1t is amazing
and amusing TO see how timil
the people are when in the pres
ence of the white metal, or its
friends. Bat they are quite
right in being apprehensive that
silver may not have been killed
quite SO dead after all in 1886.
Those who have stood by it
through thick and thin are
clearly Of the opinion that it is
making new friends all the time,
and that the closer people get
to it the better they like it.
There is something in the na-
ture Of the white metal that sat
isles the common people that it
| is their friend, true and tried,
which draws them closer and
closer to it. In fact, to the
common people-that Is the
sensible people and people who
are not tied to industrial trusts
and money syndicates-are more
determined than ever that sill
yer shall be recognized by the
government as their friend, and
that it shall be received at the
mints and given every right and
privilege which gold enjoys.
Far be it from silver to think OF
dying, and far be it from the
true people of the country to let
the money powers eliminate it
forever from the nations none
tary system-Hauuibal Journal.

Mr.. McNeely in Town.

James II. McNeeley Of Evansville,
Ind, member Of the commission to
make negotiations with the Grow In
dians for purchase Of a portion Of
their reservation by the government,
spent yesterday in Billings, returning
to Grow Agency today, where O. G.
Hoyt Of Beatrice, Neb., another mem
ber is at present. Mr. McNeeley was
approached by The Gazette reporter at,
the Grand and asked concerning the
progress being made BY the commits
sion, which is to be abolished April n.
Mr. McNeeley said that the commits
sion had been delayed in its negotia-
tiCns on account of the bad weather
and the slow progress in paying off to
the Indians their annuity and some
back money. But we expect, in case.
Of good weather, said Mr.. McNeeley,
'to make some rapid progress during
the next few weeks Of the commission 81
life and after April the work can be-
taken up BY an inspector, who, after
what we will have accomplished, can
very we'll complete the negotiations
We expect to call council and again
tell the Indians what the government
wishes to do It is necessary to do
this, as they have forgotten what we
said to them at the council on October
3 last.
Mr.. McNeely commented upon the
action taken in the senate few days
ago toward abolishing the commission.
when Senator Pettigrew Of South Da-
kota attacked him. He declared that
the senator had malicionsly villified
him without provocation or justifica-
tion. He also stated that the abolish
ing Of the commission was done in an
unfair manner, as it was accomplishing
as much as could be expected.

Commission to Treat with Grow
Indians to Be Dissolved
After Next April.
DISCUSSION IN SENATE
Waxed Warm Pettigrew Assailed
Indiana Member McNeely
Visits Billings.

The people Of Billings and this sec
tion, being interested in the contem-
plated treaty between the Grow Indians
and the government pertaining to the
opening of portion Of the Grow reser-
walton, will be glad to hear Of any
news in connection with the commits
sion. In u special to Tuesdays Stand
ard from Washington, Correspondent
Hosford reports the recent decision in
the senate il regard to the commission
as follows:
The Grow and Flathead commission
fell with dull thud in the senate this
week Senator Garter led. the attack
against its continued existence and sue
ceeded in getting an amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill which puts
the commission hors de combat. In
his remarks against them be said :
"This commission has existed since
1885, 1t is not efficient for the accom-
plishment Of the end it has in view
the negotiation Of treaties with these
various Indian tribes. believe that
this work can be more efficiently and
expeditiously done by special commits
sioners selected from persons who are
familiar with the work to be accom-
plished than by standing commission
continued from year to year as experts
in Indian negotiation.
Senator Pettigrew Of South Dakota
also took fall out of the commission
ers. He said: The commission made
al agreement with the Indians that
they would hold council with them
next April or May, when the weather
gets pleasant again.
III answer Senator Carter said :
1.-THE amendment proposing to- extend
the time of the life of the commission
to Jan. !, 1900, was presented in be-
half of the senator from Indiana, who
is absent.
Senator Pettigrew then made vic
ious attack upon the members. assail-
ing their character, but Senator Carter
refuted it, coming back at him in this
manner:
1.-THE members Of this commission
are estimable gentlemen. undoubtedly,
and as to the men personally / have
nothing whatever to say in the way of
criticism. Whatsoever they may have
accomplished in other sections Of the
country stands to their credit according
to the testimony that may be borne by
the senators representing the respective
states. but SO far as concerns their per-
formanoes III the state of Montana,
where they were commissioned and di-
rected to negotiate with three distinct
Indian tribes, feel constrained to say
that their work was inefficient, wholly
unsatisfactory, and not to be continued,
based upon what they have attempted
to accomplish in the past.
They spent the entire summer out
there without accomplishing anything
at all except to get up misunderstand-
ing between the Indians on one reserva-
tion and their agent That was done
by the chairman Of the commission

The second floor contains the wards,
which are in the north wing. These
wards are furnished with pretty iron
bedsteads. On this floor, directly over
the chapel, are the Sisters sleeping
apartments. Adjoining them is the
Sister Superior's 8 private apartment.
Like on the first floor, are lavatories
and bath rooms, living closets and serv-
ing closets. There are chute connec-
tions OH both floors, where the dust and
laundry are carried to the basement in
separate channels. Convenient to the
wards is a cosy smoking and reading
room for the benefit Of those patients
able to walk about.
The hospital is in charge Of Sister
Superior Theodore, who has spent the
last twenty-five years in Gods noble
work Of caring for the sick and in
jured. For twenty years she was in
charge Of a hospital in Denver, while
tbs~1ast five years have been spent like
wise in Leavenworth, Kan. She is as
sisted BY Sisters Bernsdett, Ivo. Mary
Sylvester and Amadeus, all having ac-
companied Sister Theodore from Leav-
enworth. Their number will be aug
mented BY about six Others just as soon
as they can be spared from elsewhere
At present there are nearly twenty pat
tents. The hospital received the con
tract for caring for the county sick and
these now number about fifteen. There
is man nurse in attendance and as
soon as demanded another will be
added, one for day and one for night.
Unlike most hospitals conducted by
the Sisters Of Charity. st. Vincent s
will permit any physician in the city
or section to send his patients to it and
also give any patient his or her prefer
ence Of medical attendance This is a
commendable act and one that will
strongly appeal to the sympathies Of
all. The hospital will be free to Wis
itors every day and the Sisters will take
pleasure il showing anyone throughout
the institution.
It is expected that a formal opening
OF ST. Vincent's will be given sometime
in the near future, when the hospital
committee, composed Of J. .. Lose
kamp, A. II Babcock. J. J. McCor-
mick, Paul Mccormick, Drs H. Chap
pie and j. Fl. Rinehart, the county and
city officials, the physicians Of the
cities tributary to Billings and the
managers Of the mines in Carbon coun-
ty will be invited to visit the hospital.
Tickets for hospital attendance are
now on sale. These are good for single
men and single women, only, at SO
for a year, and if the holder of a ticket
is taken sick during that time, they are
given free attendance at the hospital
during such sickness.

Base BALL.
Hot Game Between Mad.
lsOn and Lake Benton.
A Series of Games will be
Played at the New
Base Ball Park i'm
Madison.

The ball game this afternoon between
the Lake Benton and Madison teams was
no ordinary game. Both teams had
many crack players and the advantage
lay perhaps with the visitors who have
had more practice this eeason than the
local team which has played together
yer, little. But a good game was put up
on both sides.
The visiting team WAS composed OF K.

The grounds were in prime condition
and with new enclosure, new grand
stand, everything presented a neat and
attractive appearance. The Madison
base ball association. recently organized,
intend TO secure a series OF games TO
this city and also put IN training IA boss
team OF their own.
An unfortunate incident occurred IN
the early part OF the game which married
the pleasure somewhat. The grand
stand which had been hastily construct
ed for the occasion, broke down with q
large number Of ladies and children up
on il, but fortunately none were serious
~ hurt. though all badly scared. The
management promise that the next time
it is put up it will stay up.
At the fourth idn,ng the game stood s
