Policy.

DUBLIN, January 18.-A reporter OF the
Freeman's journal has had an interview
with Parnell. Parnell believes there is
no doubt that grave dissension exists
among the members of the cabinet and
that a government party crisis may occur
at any time during the session over some
English question. He urges the Parnell-
ties and radicals to facilitate government
business and thus avoid the charge of OBJ
struction. He says the liberal unionists
are certain to separate on English mat
tiers. Parnell says that the recent reduc-
tions in rent made by the land commits
sion are not half what the tenants of Ire
land are entitled to. and urges the party
to take such action as will oblige the
commissioners to re-examine the whole
question. He expresses the belief that
the nationalists Will gain three members
in Ulster at the next parliamentary cleo
tiDn.

BUTTE. January 16.-The Miner says:
From the time when territories were first
established to the present, it is asserted
by those who profess to speak by the
card. it has been the invariable custom OF
the senior Judge Of a territorial supreme
court to as a p~rescrlptIve right
the chair of the chief judicial district.
Judge McLeary, in taking the assignment
to the second district Of Montana, is i'll
line with ~precedents questioned by the
United States supreme cour as far back
as 1918. The people Of this district felt
and expressed a preference for their W
fellow citizen, colonel De Wolf, to be
assigned here. Now it is asserted this
would be contraryto precedent. Great is
PRECEDENT Like the laws of the Modes
and Persians it varieth not, neither hath
it any shadow of turning. Butte accepts
its dictum, and will give its new judge a
hearty welcome. 1t trusts he will find
his lines here cast in pleasant places
~pleasanter thar any other portion OF the
district. The ~salubrity of Butte, together
with its social advantages, make it the
most desirable place of residence the
coming Judge can select.

WASHINGTON, January 13 = Senator
Stewart offered an amendment to the bill
providing for the investment of certain
funds in the treasury. 1t provides that
any person may deposit at any mint or
assay office gold or silver bullion and
receive certificates therefor. The price
to be paid for gold bullion is fixed at 81
for % $40 and 90 grains fine, while the
price for silver is to be fixed by the sec
rotary Of the treasury on the 1st and 10Th
of each mouth at the average price of
silver in the New York market during
the preceding Is days, provided that the
price shall not exceed an ounce of gold
for Is ounces of the same fineness. The
certificates are to be in denominations of
not less than So nor more than $1,000,
and to be legal tender, redeemable at
any treasury or sub-treasury. The bullion
received is to be melted into bars. No
more gold or silver certificates are to be
issued. and those coming into the treas
ury are to be cancelled. No gold or sill
yer is to be coined except to meet the OBJ
legations expressly made payable in coin
and to meet the actual wants for silver
currency among the people. The silver
coinage act is repealed.

A Substitute For Hanging.

New YORK. January 19.-The report
of the commission appointed by the legis-
lature to report the most human and
practicable method known to modern
science, of carrying into effect the SEN
tence Of death in capital cases, was trans
mitted to the legislature yesterday. 1t
recommends the killing Of culprits by
electricity. In regard to the advantage
of electricity, the commission says: "The
application may be made without injury
to officials. The place for its use may be
strictly private, and its certainly is be-
yond doubt. AS Il matter OF fact an cleo
tric shock cannot produce a sensation
which can be perceptib1e to the criminal.
The velocity Of the current is so great
that the brain is paralyzed. The
commission recommend that a chair with
Il head and foot rest should be used, in
which the condemned man could be
seated in half reclining position. One
wire could be connected with the head
rest. and the other with the foot
rest. which would be a metal
plate. The electric current could be sup
piled by the electric light wires. The
commission recommends that the date
of execution be made uncertain so that
the criminal may not know the day he is
to die, and that the corpses go to the doc
tors or to nameless graves without re-
ligious rites. and that the newspapers be
forbidden to describe the execution.

A Favorite Son.

CHICAGO, January IS. - Ex-Congress-
man A. L. Conger of Akron, Ohio, who
is in the city, says: "sherman will have
the Ohio delegation solid this year, and
have it easily and without contest. Blaine
has always been very strong in our state,
very popular, and he has all his old
friends. But at the state convention the
matter was thoroughly talked over, and
the feeling, without exception, is that
Sherman should have the delegation
solid. There will be no confess for dele
gates in the districts"

Railroad Topics.

HELENA. January Is. The delayed
trains on the Northern Pacific began ar
irving from the east last night about s
O'Clock and they will all be in this morn
ing. 1t is anticipated that the regular
limited express due from the east this

been coming in with due regularity and
crowding on eastward.
All the branches Of the Northern Pa
cific have resumed their regular trains
and the company hopes to be troubled no
more, for a time at least.
The Union Pacific and Utah d North
ern have gotten trains through and mails
from that direction will probably be in
this morning.

with the eastern mail had not arrived at
the time the Independent went to press,
but is expected in early this morning 1t
is reported to have $4,000 pounds of mail
on board-not all, however, for Helena.

ern Pacific will make fifth-class freight

wire staples, nails and spikes, between
eastern terminals and Helena. The rate
mentioned is $50 per hundred.
