The Butte tMont.) Inter Mountain gives par
uculars of lynching which occurred at Weeks
VILE. point in the extreme western Montana.
For many weeks a spirit Of lawlessness, rob
berry and murder had reigned supreme at that
point. Good citizens were terorized and the
rule of the robbers was so potent that il was
unsafe for any man with dollar in his
pocket to appear on the street even in broad
daylight. Dire alarm took possession Of the
business community, and 1t finally became evi-
dent that unless all good men were willing to
sacrifice their property AMI leave, some imme-
date and determined effort was necessary to
terminate the existing reign Of terror. Urged
10 desperation by the extremites OF the situ-
alton, vigilance committee was organized
with great secrecy and the accessions were
soon sufficiently numerous to render its mem
bers bold enough to announce their purpose
Of suppressiug the high.hsnded outrages al
most hourly coming to light. Once organized no
time was lost in carrying out the object OF the
association. One Sunday night three despera-
does known as "Ohio Dan," "Blondy," Ed.
Enrght, and another man were arrested.
The three first mentioned were hanged with
out ceremony, and the fourth was converted
inte lead depository. At the "Y." another

being hanged on the same tree, and all at the

TRADE WITH MEXICO.

The bureau of statistics has Just pre-
pared statement showing the commerce
of the United States with Mexico for the
fiscal year 1882. This statement is Of
peculiar interest in view of the pending
commercial treaty. During the year in
dicated the total imports into the United
States from Mexico were in round num-
bers S15, ,000, 900, and the total domestic
exports from The United States to
Mexico were a little over $4,000, 600.
An analysis OF these imports and exports
shows the following interesting facts:
Of the $15, 100000 of imports from
Mexico over So, 300, 600 were free of duty:
over S6,000,000 were specie, thus leav-
ing only a little over $3,OOO,OO subject
to duty on the 50 600, 600 of dutiable inn
ports; 50, 600, 600 were raw iute, 100000
were sugar, S3l 900 leaf tobacco, S27,-
600 cigars and S44,000 lead. OF the
articles imported free of dury, coffee was
valued at Sl,S00, 900, and hides and
skins 81, 500, 600 OF the S13. 200, 900 Of
domestic exports to Mexico, the manu-
facturcs of iron and steel amounted to
nearly 81, ,000,00G; cotton and mauufac-
lures of cotton, 81, 500, 900; wood and
manufactures of wool, 81 100000; leaf
tobacco, 1926, 900; quicksilver, 1916, 600;
sewing-machiuos, 100000 paper and

$780, 200; agricultural implements, $780,
900; Indian corn, 1892, 600; live animals,

sELF.GOvERNMgRT IN IRELAND.


John Morley contributes tu late
number of the Ninrt, .@th c.. tury one
of his character istirGllv .I,i- articles, en-
titled Lish R"vo,utIrn aud English
Liberals" ;" The Ilast valuable part of
this article Is tEGi IN winch be discusses
the question of home rule in ireland,
not only in the beuse of the government
OF Ireland as whole, but of local self
government III the municipalities and
counties. In regard to the former branch
OF the subject, be remarks tuat "there
can be very little doubt, though nobody
says very mach about it, that in their
utter wearincss people III England are
silently familiar among themselves with
the notion tuat some form of autonomy
will have TO bc devised for Ireland" and
then proceeds to discuss the objections
raised to the proposition. He believes
there would be danger in giving Ireland
her own parliament, if the land question
were not previously settled. "Are we
prepared, he asks, "to see the land
lords sent flying for their lives, with bag
and baggage p Naturally, he thinks
the settlement of the land question will
require long timc, and if home rule is
to be postponed until this has been ac-
cOmplished, it is question for the
future and not the present. Ii home
rule were granted immediately, but
terms previously made for the landlords,
the chances are that complications would
arise which would tend to prevent their
observance. At least there would be
constant danger of collision on this
vital question.
Mr.. Morley does not regard The reli-
gious difficulty as being SO likely to iu-
terfere with Self-governmeut in Ireland
as that Of the land or even that of the
tariff. He recites the remark which has
been made by Dillon and others that no
measure would be satisfactory which did
not give Ireland the control of her own
custom duties. He does not entertain a
doubt that if Ireland were given that
ScANhoi 0hc "NAAiu pitCtSt W uO Wudt
Canada and Victoria have done-create
protective tariff. He acknowledges that
Irish manufacturers are in deplorable
state of depression, that towns in the
center and south OF Ireland are IN state
OF decay, and that, us a rule, when an
Irishman starts a little industry, he is
undersold and ruined by some great
English establishment; but he cannot
conceive of willingness on the part of
the English to give Ireland ON oppor-
tunity to prevent these results by means
OF protective tariff. This last difficulty
is very serious, but to an American,
bearing in mind the dual nature
OF his own government, Mr., Morley's
But the more interesting parts of Mr..
Morley's discussion are devoted to local
self government. and here he shows how
much can be done towJrd satisfying the
political aspirations of the Irish without
c0nceding national home rule. While
in England the county controls the
rural police, and the urban police are
under the control Of the municipalities,
