S ilver a G old , not O ne . but B oth BRANTLEY’S BECISrOJS. Judge Brantley, of Granite and Deer Dodge counties, has decided that the county commissioners elected in all coun ties in 189G should have taken office last month. He holds that the legislature has no power to appoint officers when it cre ates couuties, hence those appointed were only do facto officers.—Great Falls Trib une. Ho ! h o ! The legislature has no legal right to appoint county officers when it creates a now county ! ir upon that the decision was reached, that tho commis sioners of Granite county electod last yoar should have taken their seats this year, wo proffer tho prediction that the decision will not stand. It i9 a very slender thread upon which td hang one’s hopes. .Judge Brantley can find nothing in tho constitu tion which determines liow a new county shall bo created or its offices filled. THE PRESIDENT’ S MESSAGE. The president's first annual message was given to congress upon its assem blage last Monday. In presenting it tho president sajs : “ ft gives mo pleasure to extend greet ing to tho Fifty-fifth congress, assembled in regular session at tho scat, of govern ment, with many of whose senators and representatives I have been associated in tho legislative service. Their moeting occurs uudor felicitous conditions justify ing sincere congratulation and calling for our grateful acknowledgment to a benefi cent Providence, which so signally blessed and prospered us as a nation. Peace and | waiian islands, the nreaident approves of the treuty signed by the representatives of the two countries and approved by the Hawaiian senate, and asks tho senate of the United States to do likewise, giving very good reasons therefor. Speaking o f international bimetallism, Mr. McKinley, says : “Our special envoys have not made their final report/as fur ther negotiations between the representa tives o f this government and the govern ments of other countries are pending and in contemplation. They believe that doubts which have been raised in certain, quarters respecting the possibility of maintaining the stability of the parity between the metals and kindred questions may yet be solved by further negotia tions.” • “Meanwhile it gives me satisfaction to state that the special envoys have already demonstrated their ability and fitness to deal with the subject, and it is to be earn estly hoped that their labors may result in au international agreement which will bring about recognition of both gold and silver as money upen such terms and with such safeguards ns will secure the use of both metals upon a basis which shall work no injuries to any class of our\ut- izens.” Finally, in closing, he says: “ While congress will not find it an easy task to reduce tho expenses of the government, it should not oncourago an increase. These expenses will, in my judgment, admit of a decrenso in many branches of tho govern ment without injury to the public service. It is a commanding duty to keep the appropriations within tho receipts of the government and thus prevent a deficit.” Tho president’s message contains 12,000 words and treats of every subject of con sequence to the welfare of the government and the people and with which tho duty of the executive has to do. which was one of the most enjoyable social events at the agency. About 60 couples were present. The music,was furnished by Prof. Smiley’s orchestra and the artistic program was' •_ arranged by Messrs. D. F. Hagorty, W. E.- Hagerty( and Myron Burd. At midnight a banquet was served and shortly afterwards the party Broke up,. Mr. and Mrs/Burd are at home on'the South Fork'of Milk river.. Thq groom was born and. reared here at Chateau, his father being the,late S. O., Burd. He ib ' now 21 years of age and, comes into a goodly portion of his father’s estate. Since his father’s death he has made his home upon the reservation, man aging the stock that run upon the Milk river range. He is an industrious trugal > young man, and is most admired for his manly qualities. Mrs. Burd was raised in northern Mon tana. She is 18 years of age and a daugh ter of the late Scott Wetzel aDd her moth er, v/ho attended her at the ceremony. There is no more popular young hijy in society in that section and other parts of tho state, where, on various occasions, she has been a guest. Her school girl days weie silent iu Great Fnlls, whore she has friends by the score. A few years ago she weut east. There she graduated and re turned a beautiful and accomplished woman. DEALERS IN G e n e r a l M e r c h a n d i s e Clark-IInwlcins. A nd now comes the second step, in the effect of the new tariff, the improvement in wages. The first improvement under a protective tariff of course would bo that relating to the number of people employed as soon as the new law was assured. This good will with all the nations otthoearth Iwae folt’ for ifc wil1 be remembered that •continue uubrokbu. there was a marked increase iu the nuin * “ A matter of genuine satisfaction is tho bor ° r PeoPle emPlo>'G(]> eveu bofore tbo growing feeling of fraternal regard and unification of all sections of our country, tho incompleteness of which has too loDg delayed realization of tho highest bless ings of tho union. Tho spirit of patrotism is universal and is ever increasing iu fervor. Tho public questions which now most engross ns nrolifted far above either partisanship, prejudice or former sectional differences. They afreet even part of our common country aliko and permit of no division of ancient lines. Questions of foreign policy, of revenue, the sonud- • ioss of the currency, tho inviolability of national obligations, tho improvement of the piib'ie service appeal to tho individ ual conscience of every earnest citizen to whatever party ho belongs, or inwhatoyer section of tins country he may reside. \Tho extra session of this congress, which closed during July last, enacted important legislation, and whilo its whole effect has not been realized, what it has already accomplished assures us of its timeliness and wisdom. To tost its per manent value further time will bo re quired, and the people satisfied with its operation and results thus far, are iu no mind to withhold from it a fair trial.” The first subject treated is that of tho currency as tho most pressing. \The ovil of the present system,” ho says, \is found in the groat cost to the government m maintaining the parity of our different forms of money—that is, keeping all of them at par with gold. We surely cannot bo lougpr heedless of the burden this im poses upon ilie people, oven under fairly prosperous conditions, while tho past four years havo demonstrated that it. is not only an expensive charge upon the gov ernment but a dangerous menaco to tho national credit. “I earnestly recommend ns soon ns the receipts of tho government are quite suffi cient to pay all the expenses of tho gov ernment, that when any’ of the United .States notes are presented for redemption in gold and aro redeemed in gold, that such notes shall be kept and set apart and only paid out iu exchango for gold. This is ail obvious duty. If tbo holder of the United States noto prefers tho gold and gets it from the government, he should not receive back from the government a United States noto without paying gold in exchange for it. The reason for this is mado all the more apparent when tho government issues au interest-bearing debt to provido gold for tho redemption •of United States notes, a non-interest bearing debt, them out again except on demand and for I Dingloy bill went upon the statute books. The socond step iuthe result of tho meas ure is increased wages, and that is now beginning to make itself apparent. No tices havo been posted in the Mahoning valley, in Ohio, announcing an increase of 20 per cent in wages among the lime stone operatives of that section, reports come from tho iron mines of Michignn and Pennsylvania that wages there aro to bo increased 10 per cent on Januury 1st, whilo large numbers of manufacturing establishments iu various purls of the country havo already announced an in crease in wages. It will bo a Morry Christmas and a Happy New Year to millions in tho United States to whom tho holiday season brought little of bright ness in former years. I n tiik niatterof the Dupuy or school dis trict enumeration, complained of by tho trustees of tho Chotcau district, tho fact has developed that tho lines of district No. 2 embrace tho Blackfoot reservation, and that tho clerk o f that district had a right., so far as that affected him, to iu- elmlo in his census every child upon tho reservation.. Instead of that, however, he only enumerated thoso of mixed blood. The matter is being investigated, and wo Teel that justice will bo dono tho other districts of tho county. S pa n ish ¡irisons iu Cuba liavu given up every American citizen within their walls siuco tho incoming of the McKinley ad ministration. And yet there are people who havo tho assurnuco to complain of tho attitude of tho administration iu regnrd to Cuba.

Joseph Damiani, at 1:30 o’clock, in tho little chapel, which was most beautifully decorated iu gold and white. A largo number of invited guests were present and tho wedding gifts wore numerous and costly. Miss Pearl Wetzel, sister of tho bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Wid- Surely it should not pay him Edmund Hagorty was groomsman. At the hour set the bride, preceded by gold. If they aro put out in any other wav, they may return again to be followed by another bond issue to redeem them- -an other interest-bearing debt to redeem a non-interest bearing debt.” The president deems the Cuban ques tion the next in importance, but deems tho recognition of tho belligerency of the Cubans as unwise at this time, because “ it would give to the United States no right of intervention to enforce tho con duct of tho strife, within tho paramount authority of Spain, according to tho in ternational code of war. But should this step hereafter bo deemed wise, ns a meas ure o f right nnd duty, the executive will take it.” In regnrd to the annexation of tho Hn- At G o’clock last Friday night Walter S. Clark, of tho Teton sheep-raising farm of Clark Bros., and one of the most popu lar young men of northern Montana, was united in marriage to Miss Cora Hawkins, youngest daughter of Polico Judge S. S.

He is a son of one of the most prominent Now York families. Ho is of a genial, kind-hearted disposition, and generally beloved by all who come in contact with him. The bride is the youngest daughter of Judge aud Mrs. S. S. Hawkins. »Sho has been a resident of Great Falls for over eight years, aud has a very large number of friends here. Sho graduated from the Groat Falls high school last summer. She is a beautiful, accomplished woman, ono who wins warm friends, and is be loved by all who know her.
