Thai asseitiou brands the man aS a “ big me and little you”—just what ho is. Quinn’s lie view suspended publi cation last Saturday. Not owing to lack ul patronage but there were other fields which presented more inviting vippoj tuuiiios, and Mr. J. M. Quinn, its publisher, was compelled- to choose between the .Review aud the oilers which have come from other sources. Mark Launa wus elected and those' who thought his election a good thing will hav.e six years of rejoicing. Tho moneyed interest he represents will be given more power aud he will have a vote to cast against bimetal lism. Ho may have been elected without the useof a checkbook, but it would be hard to make the people belnivo it. It would probably be well for mer chants aud others handling large sums of money to exercise care in receiving silver cirtificates of the denomination of $100. A dangerous counterfeit of the issue of 1S91 is in circulation. So cleverly executed are the bogus bills that the treasury department have ordered all bills of that denomination issued in the year mentioned to be withdrawn from circulation. Never-the-Iess, they will be taken for face value in payment for subscriptions to tho Chronicle. Like a good paper should, the Chronicle endeavors to publish every thing that is to its readers interosts. Iu another column we publish a let ter received byH. Beaupre, in regard to the controversy arising between the Choteau aud Dupuyer school districts, from A. E. CarltoD, slate superintendent of public instruction. We publish the letter in full, that t he tax payers of Teton county may fully understand the situation rela tive to thes« two school districts. In short, the school clerk iu dis trict Number Two enumerated tho children on the Bla**kfoot reservation last census, aud other school districts take exception to the enumeration, claiming they had no right to enlist1 the children of mixed blood residing j on the reservation. The editor of the Stilt Lake Trib une speaks very highly of Montana and as if he wras thoroughly acquaint ed with her resources. Ho speaks thus; “A majestic state is Montana. She is the third largest in size; she has more vacant laud that can be brought under cultivation, and has more water with which to irrigate her lands than any other state; she is marvel ous in her mineral wealth, while as a range state no other can compare with her. Her people are what might be expected on such soil aud amid such surroundings. They are strong aud brave aud capable. They are proud of their state and proud that they have citizenship in such a state. They have that kiud of pride of ownership which makes them self- respectful, and they are generous as all people are, who all the time re ceive a princely reward for their ex ertions. They are just such a race as makes it certain that for all time to come, in peace or in war, the men of Montana cau be counted upon to perform their full part as American citizens. THE NEXT TWO YEARS. In the next two years—and that is a very short time—the silver cause must gain the necessary strength for victory or suffer another defeat. There is every reason to believe that iu 1900 bimetallism will be triumph ant, but the bright prospects should not lull the friends of silver into slumber. Every moment of time un til the next national election should be devoted to the work of evangeliz ing. It is pleasing to know that some of the leading friends of silver have eutered upon a campaign among the farmers of the doudtful congressional districts of the central and western states. Good literature iu the hands of the producers of cereals during the winter months reaches the doubt ers and gives to the cause increased strength. During the next few months a large amount of silver liter ature will be distributed in the farm ing districts aud the seed thus sown cannot fail to bring forth a satisfac tory harvest of votes for the right. It is also important that the work be continued among the workingmen of the country. The last election demonstrated the fact that a large number of the toilers of the country are iu the dark. They voted with their enemies and defeated their friends. They- were iudifferent to, or ignorant of the principles at stake. They either looked upon the goldites as their sincere friends, or were co erced into voting against their better judgment. Every laboring man in the country should be reached with convincing arguments before the next presidential election. In every county of every state needed for suc cess the work of evangelizing should be pushed with vigor aud determina tion. The next two years must produce joy or sorrow for the people. The money question will be the para mount issue in 1900 and the inter vening -time should be used to the best possible advantage. “All things come to him who waits” must not be accepted as the motto of the friends of silver. They must go forth and work, work, work. Victory is within reach and it is certainly worth reach ing for.—Quinn’s Review7. State- Examiner Morony makes some interesting statements in his re port filed Thursday with the gover nor. The increase in the assessed valuation of the state is very gratify - fng indeed. According to the report the increased wealth in the state last year was equivalent to a some twice as large as the total indebtedness of all the cities, counties and school districts m the state. This looks as if the state was iu pretty good condi tion financially, as the bonded debts mentioned practicly comprise all the public debts of the state. We doubt if any other state in the uuion can make such a showing.—-Great Falls Tribune. C FjV * ÎE'T a , II \ W citch e s , G l o c k s , J e w e lr y . O /jv (j . ggf” Watch Repairing a Specialty.

Garrett, deputy clerk and recorderof Teton couuty, was in the city a week ago Wednesday and in course of a conversation spoke of the mineral wealth of the ceded strip of the Blackfoot reservation, says the Great Falls end of the Anaconda Standard. It was his opinion that in spite of the adverse reports of Patrick Shields, the mining expert who made a trip through the strip last summer and who is now in this city, thero were at least two promis ing leeds, and that further investiga tion would reveal others. Many are preparing to get on to the reservation early in the spring or as soon as it is thrown open. Mr. Garrett stated that when the matter of the openiug on the 30th of March was suggested to him he knew of no reason why the mineral strip should not be thrown open within 30 days after the map3 were filed in the land office at Helena. Yet, if the date of March 30 should prove to be correct, miners would find it difficult to prospect in the hills on account of snowslides and the general slippery conditions of the mountains. Mouut Jackson, the highest peak iu the strip and the point from which the division line of the reservatiou runs due north to the Canadian line, has an elevation of 10,000 foot. Chief mountain is another high p-‘ak with an elevation of 9,500 feet, 'i ue snow in all these mountain districts in which the ceded strip is located is very deep at the present time, and it will be late in May or nearly June before prospectors can work to ad vantage. The elevation at the neck of the St. Mary’s lakes near the Flat Top mountain, is a little less . than 3,000 feet. The country iB very rug ged, but there are tivo or three very valuable mineral veins that have been discovered and are now being closely watched. There is practically, uo placers in the ceded strip, so far us yet kuown. Have you smoked any of those ci gars at Adlam & ThompsonV yet? They keep the best—such as Matur ity,-Diploma, Club House Bouquet and ICev West. HOLTER LUMBER COR/iPAlsiY, INCORPORATED. G r r e a t F a l l s I& E o rrt.
