about $4,000, which it would have cost
the county to provide for its insane

asylum, making grand total of about
$4,000. As the current expenses

DR.. M'GLYNN's CAMPAIGN,

Anew York special says that Father
McGlynn, now that he and Henry George
have parted company, intends to inaugu'
rate a vigorous campaign this year for thu
Land and Labor party. He stated to
reporter that he is irrevocably for an indie
pendent labor canvass with a presidential
candidate OF their own and with no posi-.
bility Of fusion with either of the old 20.
litical parties; that there will be a national
convention for that purpose which is ex.
pected to contain representatives from
every State in the Union. 1t is stated that
the campaign DR.. McGlynn intends to in.
a~ugurate twill be s%tartlingly singular, be.
cause, aside from the principal labor issue.
it will be a savage assault on the Roman
E lsI4. CHURCH Il is said he expects to
lies by this unusual procedure, butit is safe
to say that this mingling OF religion and
politics will react d~isastrously on DR.. Nc.
Glynn and the cause he represents and that
the course %heproposes to pursue will swamp
the remnant OF the Land and Labor party
still surviving.

THERE can be no doubt that the condi-
ton Of the Crown Prince of Germany ia be.
coming moro and more precarious all the
time. The operation of tracheotomy that
was performed tbs other day is only re.
sorted to when there is IN apparent danger
that the patient is likely at any moment to
be choked by some ieroign growth in the
throat. 1t is evident, in spite of the fire.
quent bulletins declaring the swelling in the
throat reduced, that the swelling was as
sumiag toe dangerous a size to be trusted
any longer, and so a silver tube inserted in
the larynx relieves the possibility OF the
Prince being suddenly choked to death. 1t
is evident, too, that in spite of hopeful
bulletins, the German court feels the danger
that is impending, and that the situation
OF the heir to the throne ia too serious to
admit OF any court festivities while the SUI
isrer at San Reno is in such a precarious
condition. 1t continues to look more thar
over like the experience OF General Grant
during the last months of lbs life-relapses,
followed by a surgical operation giving
temporary relief to be followed by more
suffering.

THE ROCKY FORKS ROAD.

The troubles that have beset the Rock,
Fork & Cooke City Railroad by the faiIur,
OF Dennis Ryan, the contractor, to carry
out his contract are reported to be in a
lair way OF settlement. 1t is now stated
that the company will make ARRANGEMENTS
TO take up the work OF construction itselj
and that it expects to carry out the work
and relieve the contractors by paying all
their obligations in full. A promise is
made by the officers OF the company that
all outstanding liabilities will he adjusted
in q few days. We trust that the promise
made will be fulfilled as it WIS stated in a.
special to the Independent on Wednesday
that the County Commissioner of Yellow
stone County intended to rescind their
order providing for the sustenance of the
laborers thrown out OF employment by
the temporary failure Of the road. As will
be seen by an interview with Mr.. Cakes.
the Rocky Fork & Cooke City Railroad
nave q very favorable traffic
arrangement with the Northern Pa.
cific, and it will be to the
interest OF this section especially to see the
road built and in operation. II the coal
that the road is intended to reach comes
up to the a~nticipations formed of it, it will
have its effect in influencing the Northern /
Pacific road to build the branch between
here n Gallatin. Shouldit prove a worthy
competitor OF the coal now in use here,
there can be no doubt that Butte would
draw It's main supply from the Rocky Forks
a banks. and to facilitate the trade that
you'd thus be created the building of the
INK TO Gailatl would be almost a neces.
s'ty. The citizens OF Butte tave every
to wish the Rocky Fork road a
speedy relief from it's emharrassments and
TO desire to see it in successful operation at
he earliest.

THERE seems to he a reasonably fa;,
prospect that four Territories will be placed
IN the way OF admission to Statehood this
year by Congress. The opposition to the
division of Dakota is so pronounced that
che will be admitted as one State. Dakota
and Washington Territory are counted "a
Republican, while Montana and New Mexico
are regarded as Democratic, although the
powerful hold Steve Elkins has in the Ia tter
makes it questionable whether it can ba
counted on with absolute certainty onca r.
obtains Statehood. But in this vav
neither party will have tho advantage. the
additions from the new States in the Senate
being the same increase to both Of the old
parties. None will bs admitted in time to
vote Tor the next President of the United
states. That seems settled beyond perad.
venture. The Territories will vote in No. |
vember on enabling acts to 70 into tn.
Union and the acts creating them into
states will be passed at the next session Of

JOHN SHERMAN has changed his tactica
toward the Pacific Coast delegation.
Whether this is due to his increased promi-
nence as a candidate for the Republican
nomination and a desire to stand we'll on
the coast can only be surmised, but seems
probable. Hitherto, as Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the Sen.
ate, he has been hostile to the restrictive
legislation the Pacific Coast delegation
have been appealing for against the Chi
nese, but last week he suddenly exhibited a
desire to meet the wishes of these gentle.

The two labor organizations OF the coun-
try have a much larger membership than is
generally supposed. According to Secretary
Litchman the Knights Of Labor number
five hundred thousand adherents, and six
hundred thousand is claimed for the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor. These figures are
encouraging to the friends OF labor since
they speak hopefully for the efforts to
secure unity of purpose and action among
the skilled labor OF the land.
