The Luetgert trial is making slow progress. The jury has uot yet been completed, nor has Mrs. Luetgert began to turn up in half a dozen different towns a day. Judging by the number of Mon- tanians who are being indicted by the federal grand jury for selling liquor to Indians, Poor Lo hasn’t been deprived of his fire water. If you know anything wo don’t kuow, which people ought to kuow if it worth knowing, don’t }’ou know that it is your duty to let us know that which you know, and that we ought to kuow but don’t know be cause they kuow and won’t lot us kuow. Congress convened Monday. The regular session in the house passed without auy unusual iucideut of an}- character. The attendance upon the senate wajs notably largo despite the well understood fact that but little business would be transacted, other than the presentation of the presi dent’s messago. It is very evident that Marcus Daly is not to retire from the turf, as many of the sporting editors would have the public, believe. His recent purchase of thorough-breds from the cream of leading American stables prove con clusively that Mr. Daly intends to remain iu the lead of American breeders. Tuesday silver went above 60 cents for the first time since its tumble last July. This will be good news to silver men all ovor the country. The silver mines in this state that have just eked out an existence during the low price of si Ivor will be eucour- aged to run until 1900, when the price of silver will resume its old stand at $1.29 an ounce. The Mexicau Herald denies author itatively the report from Paris, pub lished in London, that Mexico is making preparations to go on a gold basis, and says: “Mexico’s finances are handled with admirable caution and sagacity, and whatever may bo the future policy of the government regarding the currency basis, there is at present no thought of changiug from the silver basis which is contrib uting to the growth of the manufac turing and other industries.” A synopsis of the most important subjects of President McKinley’s message to congress is published in this issue. The currency question come first, which he dwells at length on, and offers two methods by which the continuous drain of gold from Uncle Sam’s treasury to Wall street may be checked. Unless congress adopts one of the plank suggested, ho j sees no way to avoid further bond sales, should there be a drain on tho gold reserve. The following was reeeivod at this office on Wednesday; postmarked Choteau; and written on the back of tho special, circulated thé daj7 before by the Chronicle: “We are onto your whole card. You will never get the plumb. Wei!, say, under my own decision, don’t you know, we are aware of the fact that ‘you are not tho only pebble on the shore.’” Evidently tho writer of the above is not “ the only sponge iu the drug store, for he can be soaked nor is he “ the North Pole, for he can be reached.” The following dispatch was re ceived at this office Tuesday after noon, from Philipsburg, Granite co u n ty, Mon ta n a : “Under decision of District court rendered this morning, the now board I has taken their seats. (Signed,) James McDoual. In Granite county tho old board consisted of I. E. Holland (Rep) Val entine Jockey (A. P. A. Dem) arid Benj. Pizer (Rep) and the new board which by virtue of this decision is now in office as the board of county com missioners consists of James McDonal (Dem) J. J. Honnosy (Dem-Pop)and B. II. Dunshee (Silver-Rep.) The ease was argued Monday Dec. 6, before Judge Brantley of the third district, at Philipsburg, and the de cision rendered that morning as stated. Judgo Brantley was elected in 1896.'as an A. P. A. Republican, beating E. D. Matts, (Dem) by a largo majority. Flathead, Toton, Granite, Valley and Ravalli counties were created at tho same session of the legislature and the laws respecting county com missioners apply alike iu each of the counties mentioned. In Flathead county7 the old com missioners turned their seats over to the now board peaceably and without any7 resistance whatever. If I should dio tonight, And you should come to my cold corpse and say, Weeping and heart sick o’er my lifeless clay— If I should die tonight, And yrou should como in deepest grief - and woe— And say, “ Here’s that $10 that I owe,” 1 might arise in my largo white cravat, And say7, “ What’s that?” If I should dio tonight, And you should como to my cold corpse and kneel, Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel I say, if I should die tonight, And you should come to me aud there aud then, Just hint about payin’ mo that tou, 1 might arise the while, But I ’d drop dead again.
