In Washington^ami at Inline are Montana lepubUcMM^^klHNN 11s that Mr. l.'nssell It.

Seeingthat wholesome results al^ready follow the movement tOgtTO sil^ver its rightful plaoo in the country's^currency, the Salt Lake TrUMHt e\^presses the hope that e\eii before^this session closes congress may he in
clinedto give ua free coinage, In the
TWetMM'jjmlgmelit ^even RgCgggf^Heed must see hy this tune thai there
isno possible disadvantage to accrue^from that course.^ We devoutly wish^that Mr. Road night see it iii this light,^yet we fear he will not yield Ins preju-^dice ami his personal interests to Hie^teachings of experience, WTe remem^haf that when, a lew weeks ago. the^house had a golden opportunity to de-^flare fori lie coinage, there were only^twenty-three republican members who^gave their \otes lor it.
Inthe judgment of our discerning^republican contemporary in Butte,^there is not a ^cleaner cut or mora In^pressive political ligure in Montana
thanMajor Baton.^ That La one good
wayof putting it. In our judgment,^the genial Major is clean cut enough,
whateverthai naj Imply, At to being^an ^impressive political ligure,^ we sup^mmthil stat uesipie rhetoric w ill amuse^the Major as much as it w ill the next^man. lie is a political ligure in thai^he is an experienced ollice holder, hut^our memory isthat he wasn't ^ impress^ive' enough to defeat I'owel ill last^year's republican convention when the^members of that body chose a Band I^date for governor, Any politician who^was ever defeated by l'owet at any^time or in any place, has thcMwn^Aim's cordial sympathy. It was a^great big blunder to prefer the Ilelt ua^capitalist to Major Baton last year and^republicans recognize the mistake now.^It would be lair ami right to give the^Major the told tins year, and a good^many republicans are disposed to do it.
GOODMEN AGAINST IT.^Men who when the republican parly-^was in its right mind had weight in its^councils, are earnestly striving to make^themselves felt in criticism of the^force bill. Newspapers of recognized^influence in the party are persistent in^their opposition to the measure; hut^both the men and the newspapers have^found it dillicttlt to make themselves^hoard amid the din which designing^politicians have raised in favor of the^bill.
Therewas a time when the ludgmelit^of men like Murat llalstead went for^something with the leaders of his party.^He has been a constant critic of the^force bill but the chiefs who happen to^be running the party machinery for^the moment loud him an unwilling car
Someof the most terse comments on^the bill have come from Mr. llalstead^whose latest remark is: ^the thing to^do is to postpone the elections hill until^next season.
Ina broader way. the St Louis OI061^l^i Dim !nt recites the objections to the^pending hill. It is one of the strongest
andaaoatinfluential republican news
pajxrs in the I'nited States. Uegard^ing the bill, it speaks in these fearless^words: ^ Che enactment of the federal^elections law now would injure the^class it is designed to benefit,^would weaken the republican^party in the North without^strengthening it in the slightest^degree in the South, and would retard^instead of hasten the growth and^operation of the social forces w hich are^destined ultimately to solve the prob^^lem indicated. This is the view of the^ipiestion which the party generally is^In-ginning to take. The tacts may not^be especially pleasing to the party, but^ignoring them or quarreling with them^will not alter them. The elections bill^must be dropped not merely for this^session, but for all time.
Wishall know what is to be the laic^of this untimely measure within a few^days. If public sentiment goes fof^anything it will perish at its birth.^Masses of voters in the republican^party are ashamed of it, thousands of^them ^ill resent it If, in the face of^strongly expressed disapproval, con^^gress dares to put it through. The^signs are that it w ill fail of a vote at^the present session, ami once thrown^aside it is an outcast forever.
THtTHING NOT TO DO^The St wHAKH believes that no in^^terest would have luffered if Vice^lYesldetll Webb had consented to the^conference which Mr. I'owdcrly pro^posed, [f the railroad people toll the^truth about the situation, the facts^could have been easily brought^out and there w ould have been a speedy^end of the trouble which threatens to
bemore annoying to the traveling ami
businesspublic than to the railroad^corporation or the knights of labor^1 bemaelvea.
Hutwe have no sympathy with the^suggestion made at Sunday's meeting
ofalabor organisation in Now York^city to the effect that the government^confiscate or take possession of the^New I*ore Central ami undertake the^manage men) of the VanderbiH system.^That proposition was. in tact, embodied^ina resolution which found favor at^meetings held in New ^ ork and Chi^^cago.
Forheaven's sake, let the I'nited^States government keep out of the^railroad business. Here we are with^the country's governing bony in session^nine consecutive months and a mass of^unfinishedbusineaa still on hand, at a
timewhen nothing of especial note^either in the business or the political
whi id demands attention, if the conn
tryla going to set itself up in (he gen^end traffic line, congress would need^more than forty months in the year lo^keep up with its current work.^TnC trouble is that Ibis world is gov-
[erned too much, in view of thai fact^the government of this republic was
setup on the theory that intelligent^people know how to take care of them^^selves and that the smallest possible^function should be entrusted to the
governingbody. The United states
managesto care for the postal service^in pretty good shape, but in the busi^^ness of running a navy it has made a^horrible failure and as a sort of side^partner in railroad Venturesil has been^scandalised beyond precedent and^robbed beyond estimating.
Ifthe American people cannot run^their own daily business without bu^^reaucratic Inteference, if the idea on^w hich this government was founded is^a failure, let us turn the whole plant^over to somebody like young Kaiser^William and have done with it. or, bet^^ter still, let us throw to the winds the^achievements of the century and.
adaptingourselves to the continent's^original conditions, array ourselveain^clouts and feed on roots and raw meat.
Thecountry's millions would fare^better in that condition than under a^system which would invest a republi
canform of government with functions
winchit cannot fulfill, and with duties
whichwere expressly denied the gov
eminentby those who founded it.
ITIS NO EARTHLY GOOD.^Complaints regarding the crowded^condition of the comity jail at I h er^Lodge are pretty constant. There isn't^any doubt (hat they are welt founded,^and the important tact is that sherill'^tittigley ami his subordinates cannot do
anythingto remedy the trouble. The
sitnation demands t he careful atteiit ion^of the county commissioners. In its
presentcrowded condition l^ is simply
impossibleto make the jail as safe as^it ought to be or to keep it in approved
sanitarycondition. Every cell is occo
piedand it is found necessary to ac^commodate from ten to twenty pns^oners in the corridor or on the top o|^the cage. This arrangement is worse^than inconvenient, it is unhealthful^ami. more than this, it is unsafe a fact^w Inch becomes clear enough when it^is remembered (hat the list of inmates^includes three prisoners who are held^for murder, one for stage Ngggff and^several for horse stealing. Then there^are several female prisoners kept w ith^in the walls of the jail, for whom it is^impossible to make proper and decent^provision. In order to lind lodging^for those now held in jail, several of^the officers have l^een compelled to sur^^render their own ipiarters. If, under^the present arrangement, thecommuni^ty wakes up some pleasant morning to^learn of a general jail delivery, the
sheriff'sollice would have ample ex^ense for that result.
Thefact is that Deer Lodge 1ity
hasone of the worst etpiipped jails in^the state. SherilT Quigley lately In^^formed a re|sirter for the HtaXPABD^who visited the jail that anevpeiidi-^tlire of about !*'J.2iM) would enlarge it^to a capacity more than ample for^present needs. The right course w ould^be to build a new cage with new cells.^At present there is no arrangement by^which the cells can he locked with a^lever worked from the outside. ^m the^contrary, the ntlieers have to lock each^cell separately, one ollicer going inside^to do this while another stands guard^outside, revolver in hand which cer^^tainly is a crude arrangement.
SherillQuigley is faithfully doing his^utmost to make the jail safe ami keep^its inmates in decency, hut the old and^crowded jail wont do; there's 110 doubt^about that ami the county commis^^sioners may as well face the facts.
THtBISHOP S REPORT^The growth of the Episcopal church^in Montana was presented by Bishop^Brewer in his address of Sunday even^^ing before the manban of the annual
convocationof that church. The^Bishop showed how small the begin^^nings were and how limited the re^sources of the church ten years ago,^when Montana had. all told, hardly^forty thousand people, when railroads^touched few points 111 the territory and^when the missionary jurisdiction of^Montana was set apart by the author^^ities of the Bpisoopal church with
BiahopBrewer as the oflMal head.
Itappears that the church now has^property valued at 9190,000, that the^Episcopalchurchee of the stab raised
028,000last year, that the denomina^^tion has 1,300 communicants, fifteen^churches and fourteen clergymen. The^figures are not large, yet they represent^a fairly gratifying growth during the^ten years ami may be taken as an in^^dication that the Montana diocese is^now on a good foundation. In plant^ing itself in Montana the Episcopal^church has experienced its full share of^trials, yet it has outlived them and its^future growth is assured.
Thecoming monlhs will witness the^building of a substantial Episcopal^church in this citv. The designs show
iinedifice w hich w ill be attractive in an
architecturalway. and there is no^doubt that, with the number ol com
municanteliving here, the proper sup
podof the church is assured.
