W sySersythI Ie ThE BOST* WHA CONGRESS IS DOING, A Bill Introduced in tile Senate Rel ative to National Bank )Deposits and Silver Coinage. $300,OOO,000 IS THE LIMIT OF COINAGE The Bill Passed Authorizing the First National Bank of Benton to Remove to Great Falls. James W. Hathway, an Old-Time Montanian, Secures the Post mastership of the House. WAsuteOToi, Dec. 9.-A bill was in troduced in the senate today by Senator Plumb relative to the national bank de. posits and silver coinage. It provides in brief as follows: That compulsory requirement of de posits of United States bonds with the treasury by national banks shall be lim Ited in amount to $1,000 for each bank. This is not to apply to deposit bonds to secure public money; that United States mints shall be equal in amount to astion al bank notes retired since 1881 and here after retired; that the present silver coin age law shall be amended so as to direct the secretary of the treasury to purchase all silver bullion offered at market price not to exceed $1 for 871.25 grains of pure silver and issue treasury notes in pay ments. When the price Is for six months in excess of the above figure, purchases are to be suspended and coinage is to be free, bullion owners be ing privileged to receive standard dollars or treasury notes, at his own option. No more certificates are to be issued and those in use are to be replaced with treasury notes. When the mints of France, Belgium and Italy are opened to free silver coinage at the ratio of 15¢ ounces of silver to one ounce of gold, and the president by proclamation shall prohibit the further coinage of standard dollars; receive deposits of sil ver bullion for coinage at the rate of $1 for 860 grains of pure silver (coin or treasury notes therefor to be issued with in oneyear after proclsmnatlon.) The-new dollar is to be full leagal tender They are to be re-coined at the rate of not less than two and a half million mnothly until $800,00,000 is coined, when the emoonage shall: be continued at the disoleton of the--secretary. At the discrtlen ofthe secretgy he may cause satdarderlver bare hbe paid in redemp. toaF'ef United Stet itreasury notes at the rsateoPf oir400rgralns. An amendesentproposed by Plumb (which is the.,me.an terms as the bill above described) was offered in lieu of all after,the enacting clause of the Pad duck bill, now on the senate calendar, to amend the statutes so as to provide for the organization of national banks with less capital than $00,000. Today the senate bill to authorize the First National Bank of Fort Benton, Mont, to change its location to the city of Great Falls and its name to that of the Northwestern National Bank of Great atlls, was reported from the finance com mittee and passed. The senate bill introduced at the last session to establish a public farm in each county within the limits of the republic was reported back adversely from the committee on agriculture and was indefi nitely postponed The farmers alliance sub-treasury bills, which were at the last session referred to the committee on agriculture, were at the request of that committee transferred to the committee on finance, as being more properly within the jurlesdiction of the latter committee. Plumb introduced a bill to reduce the amount of United States bonds to be re quired of national banks and to replace their surrendered notes, and to provide for the free coinage of silver. It was referred to the committee on finance.%' He also ofered an amendment (in the same terms) to the bill now on the calendar, so the matter can be brought before the senate independently of any report from the financial committee. In doing so he gave nofice that, if the elections bill were not disposed of at an early day he should move to lay it aside for the time being toin order that the bill just in troduced by him and the other measures relating to the financial condition of the country should be considered. Gray offered a resolution (which was re ferred to the committee or, floance) for the amendment of the tariff bill on the subject of cables, cordage and twine. Berry argued against the election bill, as also did Daniel, and the senate soonad journed. -oT resolution offered by Gray today for the amendment of the tariff bill on the subject of cables, cordage and twine it iptended to correct a typographical or ror.onpsiating of the misplacing of the 4pi parentheais by which the words "eomipOae in whole or part of isle or tampico ibre, manilla, sisal grass or lgun" were included in parenthesis. 'ITe efct pf the error as asserted by tt$etI cuatomas officers was that the duty 1'aý1ltwiaMe other than binding twine we fixed at 13 cents per pound, while thbp itentito was to limit this rate to k. . ihalO Itpolped. A similar bill wau itrtqglit ia the house today.

The republican members of the house held a short caucus after adjournment today to select a postmaster to succeed Wheat of Wisconsin. Carter of Montana secoured 78 votes for his candidate, James W. Hathaway of Montana, against 88 for the other four candidates, Roamer of Massachusetts, at present assistant pcst master; Reed of Minnesota, and Barnes and Ralph of Illinois.

As agreed upon, it apprac priates $24,042.8.0, being $486;58 more than the appropriation for the current year. aTheamost important matter in which the bill differs from that of the current year sto in the increase in the ap propriation for army transportation which must be used in the repairing and con struction of the Jefferson barracks, Mis souri.

WAeSHIslTON, Dec. 10.-Congressman Pickler of South Dakota, to back from the meeting of the national farmers' alliance in Florida, and he has a good many sug gestions to offer the republican party, in order that it may win back the support of the majority of voters of the farmers' party. He said today: "The r'publican party should take up the money question this session. The first auod obly thing to do is to pass the free inage bill. Even that will not put money enough in circulation, and Rome other plan for inflation should be considered. It is evident that we have ot to put more money in circulation to prevent financial disturbancee in the estern states. While I am not wedded Sthe sub-treasry scheme, it is evident st this or some similar plan must be adopted. If the republicans do not pass coinage bill this session, the demo Orats are sure to do it next, and, in ad lition, will adopt some method of getting ,nore money afloat. It can be seen that t behooves the republican party to give l.es matters fair consideration. If this not done, I do not see how the party an win in the coming campaign." Irrigation Legislaios.

TACOMA, Wash., Dec 7.-Engineers of the Great Northern railroad have been taking soundings in tile Columba river for some time past at a point hetween Itainier and Cedar Landing, and have been running lines on both sides of the river. This has occasioned considerable speculation as to the point where the Great Northern will cross the big stream. It is probable that the bridge will be built at Rainier. The Columbia at that point is narrower than at any other point between Astoria and Bt. Helens, and the adjacent country as of such a character asto make it easy to get down to the river from either side. The pass for the road through the Cascades is said to have been decided upon, and that the road will go through a pass near Sultan, also at fif teen miles south of Cady Pass. A GOrat Ran.

Shakespeare says, "A rose with out a name woul I smell as sweet." nevertheless, just at the dawn of this last decade of the nineteen century, in the year of grace 1890, there is quite a good deal in a name. A clothier without a name and reputation is heavily handicapped in the race for trade. People like to buy from dealers whose estab lished record is a guarantee for fairness and honesty. Our name, A. NATHAN, The One Price Clothier has been before the public of INorthern Montana for years and has an established repu tation for honesty, fair-dealing and hearty endeavor to please customers. The reputation of a clothier is the accumulated evidence of many t ansactions with many customers. A good name can only be founded on continued merit in merchandise and fairness in dealing. We can be surpassed in neither. Our name has a value to you. It specifies a place where you can save money by buying better goods for less money than else where. Try us and see if this good name is not well deserved. Perhaps you may hear our cus tomers speak of the tailor made clothing we carry, the work of Stein, Block & Co., wholesale tailors. There is so much in them to talk about it can't be half told. The fit, the fabric, the fashion, that extreme "finesse of finish". you can't find in other makes. When we call their suits tailor made, we mean every suit is made as much by hand as possible, no machine button holes or flimsily sewed on buttons, but enough said. The name Stein, Block & Co., wholesale tailors, attached to all their work, speaks for itself. Our fall goods are coming in. We are receiving the best goods of every kind in our line that can be found. The latest styles in hats, neck wear and handkerchiefs continu ally in stock.
