In the issue of The Gazette datec
Jan. 16 appeared the following com
muncation, which was heartily en-
dorsed by this newspaper, and which
we reprint for the reason that it hae
been accused of being a snare for the
guileless and unwary, and of being
loaded with dark intent against repub-
lican welfare. Inasmuch as the article
has aroused suspicion in some quarters,
it is here reproduced in full, together
with one of the comments it brought
forth. The article was entitled:
"a Bird's-Eye View"
Editor Gazette: The beginning of a
new year is a fitting time for medita-
tion and good resolutions. A new cen
tury, filled with new duties, confronts
US, and new history awaits our making.
Good citizens not only obey the laws
and pay their taxes and other obliga.
tions, but have a duty to the nation
and the community III which they live.

responsibility. 1t is to republicans,

mistakes in the past, aud briefly re-
view some recent history, in the hope
that it will not repeat itself,
Early in the nineties, when President
Cleveland and the democratic forces in

the country got only what it expected
and what it deserved. Then came
the panic OF 1898. When, just follow.

congress repealed the Sherman law,
authorizing a limited coinage of silver

country was drawn to the money quest.

In the face Of the letter from Deputy
State Treasurer Geo. M. Hays, publish
ed in The last issue of The Gazette, stat
ing that in his opinion 1888 bounty
warrants will be paid this fall without
doubt" Yesterdays Billings Times de-
olares:
The fact is that no one knows just
when the 1898 bounty certificates will
be paid, and the editor of the Times
could not get a 50c bid on $500 worth
Of the certificates this morning. Would
the philanthropic editor Of The Gazette
like to buy a few thousand dollars:
worth of these bounty certificates at SOC
on the dollar?
Then, after practically repudiating
the yeracity Of Mr.. Hays the Times, Oh
the same page, warmly endorses him
as the democratic candidate for state
treasurer next fall, which shows the
consistency Of that newspaper. As to
the Times owning $500 of 1898 bounty
warrants, which 1T wants to sell The
Gazette at 80 cents on the dollar-we
call that bluff. If our contemporary
will prove to this newspapers satisfao.
tion that it actually owns $500 worth Of
valid '93 bounty certificates, The Ga.
zette will take them at the figure
named. Now, trot out your bounty
warrants, Mr.. Times, or admit that,
besides injuring the stockmen by advo.
eating free trade, you are giving them
information that would lead to their
losing so per cent of their bounty certi-
t~icates. Disproye the correspondence
published by this newspaper Of the
democratic plot laid in Helena to get
the bounty certificates for half their
value, or acknowledge that you are adj
vising the stockmen against their own
interests without knowing anything
about tho facts.

LONDON, FEB, 25-4:35 a. m..--
Since 2:15 O'Clock yesterday morning
nothing has been received from the
