AT HELENA.

1t is a fact which should not be over.
looked by the honest people Of Montana,
irrespective Of party, that the Deme-
cratic members Of the assembly are now
and always have been willing and
anxious to meet the Republican mem
bers, without prejudice to the rights of
either party, to determine upon some
honorable and fair means which would
lead to an intelligent and just settle
ment Of the political differences, the dis
astrous consequences of which have
plunged the state, and especially this
county, into conditions which are not
only ~disgraceful, but seriously opposed
to the public welfare.
Not only that, but it is also a fact that
the said Democratic members have more
than once asked the Republican men,
bers to name any fair proposition which
would lead to the triumph of the right
and it would be accepted; that more than
n such proposition was made and &C.
cepted, but was at once repudiated by
the Republican members, although each
proposition originated with them. It
would seem, from this statement, that
the propositions referred to were repu-
dated because the Republican leaders
saw they would lead to the triumph Of
the right, and that that would be e~quiva-
lent to a Democratic victory.
Again have the Democratic members
agreed that five Democratic senators
shall have an informal meeting to-mor-
row with the Republican senators for
such a purpose as that already named,
and If the conference should again prove
barren of results the readers of The
MINER shall know the why's and where ,
fores, regardless of which political party .
shall suffer because of a full and Impair
tial statement of the facts. A fair and .
honorable proposition that will lead to /,
what would be equivalent to a judicial :,
determination of the question Of fraud :,
1t Precinct "a in this county is what the ),
situation and the people of this state de ;,
nand-an investigation that will be :,
borough and impartial. Such an in :,
but no other, the great ;,
Democratic party Of Montana expects its ;,
representatives. to accede to tomorrow
t Helena. Such a proposition should be =,
satisfactory to all honest men, and if the
republican leaders will not become a
arty to it, then let the deadlock CON-
niue, and every means be used to pre- si1
,rve the principles of popular govern co
lent in Montana. W

herein Is the erisvous and unloUkedsfor
detection. Hardly had the document Of
Mr.. Window been read before MI. Carter,
the representative from Montana, the
greatest Of silver-producing states,
hastens to give it his approval. This is
a discouraging sign, yet in spite Of
treachery the war will 60 on. Circum-
stances demand that the metal be treated
honestly; and while the full measure Of
tree coinage may not be secured. some
concessions will be obtained that will
aid 1t and its power for good materi-
allv. E

The time was when certain Republic
ans cried fraud at the Tunnel. Have
they abandoned the cry, and if so, have
they the right still to claim party emol-
uments, the title to which is no title at

petratedP

The footpads who held up Mr. Hamilton
Thursday night, and robbed him Of his
cash, evidently justify their conduct on
the plea of example. They probably
argue that Mr.. Hamilton is to-day in
the attitude Of an open, wilful defer of
the law, and that if he can do so with
impunity, there is no reason they should
not. As a matter of fact. the crime of
Mr.. Hamilton is the greater Of the two.

TIE SITUATION AT HELENA.

Last nights dispatches from Helena
are p~r0vokingly incomplete. They state
that a conference has been held between
the Republican and Democratic members
of the senate, and that the result has
been an armistice. The conference must
surely have been brought about by the
move made the day previous; but as to
the subject matter of the discussion, or
the result reached, If any, we are left in
the dark. 1t is true the news that ema-
mates from the Herald Office says the
Democrats have agreed to either join in
organizing the senate Monday or resign,
but on the other hand, private informal
tion only states that the s~ergeant-at-
arms has been instructed to withhold
the service Of his warrants of arrest.
Whatever the object, it must have been a
good one, for 1t is hardly possible that
the Democrats would consent to
consult with the Republicans
unless an honest purpose could
be subserved, and there vas a
reasonable prospect of proper results
from it. 1t may be that this is
The final effort on their part to induce
'he Republicans to do what is right and
honest, to obey the law and the will Of
he people as expressed at the ballot box,
md failing in that, to abandon the mat
er and resign, as is said above. It will
70 a matter Of regret if they feel COM
'elled to take this radical step, but it
would seem they have concluded some
hing must be done. With faith in their
Judgment and integrity and satisfied !,
hey will do nothing that is not dictated .
y patriotic motives and a high sense of q
uty to the State and the party which t
Onored them, as well as to themselves. |

PRISON LABOR.

Among the resolutions adopted by the
Federation of Labor inow in session at
Boston, was the following: "We favor
the regulation or adjustment Of prisons
labor" "The declaration is as concise
as 1t is conservative, yet the subject is
one that has puzzled the brain Of the
philanthrOpist, the reformer and the
political economist for years. Under the
weight Of popular prejudice, the system
OF contracting the labor of prisoners has
been abolished in most states, and in
many Of them the authorities have taken
a step further and refused to utilize such
labor when it or its product would come
in competition with free labor. This alec
meets with general approval, but there
is q universal sentiment that enforced
idleness should not prevail in prisons.
1t Is unjust, alike to the state and the
prisoner, and the declaration of the
federation leads to the conclusion that
1t has adopted this opinion. How to pro-
vide q means by which the unfortunates
and criminals can be made to work and
yet not interfere with the labor Of honest
men is an knotty problem. In the
smaller institution thes proposition is
simple. but in the great prisons it is as far
rom solution to-day as it was when the
agitation was first begun. However
'cute thinkers are on the alert to find
he means, and the decision of no i'm
and representative a body as the
that it should be regulated"
Will be mighty aid to those on whom de-
the responsibility. The resolution

ependents were elected, the remaining +.

WALL STREET SATISFIED.

That the aggressive movement Of tn,
silver men, prior to the assembling o.
congress, caused some apprehension il
Wall street, is certain. The determinef
attitude of the white metal men, the
sympathy with them, and the positive
nature OF the demand for free coinage
they decided to make upon congress-,
showed that the movement, in addition
to having right on its side, was DOS
sessed Of life and vim. 1t had met
with popular endorsement, and thereat
the gold bugs" were nervous. This
feeling was augmented by the air of
mystery and secrecy that the president
and the secretary Of the treasury threw
about their proposed recommendation to
congress On the subject. As soon as the
report was made public Wall street
breathed easy; in fact, it laughed in its
sleeve. The treasury department and
its power over the financial system, was
still its slave. Commenting on the ques-
the great banking house of Henry
Clews & Co, New York, in its circular
letter of December Q says: |
The chief interest in the department re-.
ports conferred in the views Of the secretary
81 the treasury on the silver question. The
'ecretary's position on this point was re-.
'eived favorably; for whilst he discounten.
'nced any further increase in the coinage.
lis alternative suggestion of authorixino
ne issue OF certificates against deposits oil
liver bullion is regarded as impracticable
nd o likely to receive the support of
ongress; ON the whole, therefore, Mr.. Win.
om's position is regarded as amounting !
ractieally to keeping the matter where II
ow stands; which, in view Of the apurs. l
OF an Increase Of coinage, is re- y
arded as a welcome alternative. !
This says just exactly what it means. b
nat Wall street was threatened, and the '
lyer men were likely to be victorious: ?
at Window threw himself into the u
and, with his representation q
'heme as a blind, will succeed in pre- j
'ntlng any legislation whatever. In L
Is light it must truly be regarded as b
welcome alternative" However. the IL
d is not yet; in fact. the battle has inst &C
gun. The public has been slowly and tn
rely made to realize that bi-metaIIism re
the only true monetary standard for nt
} people, and that silver's return to the
'ition 1t ever held, until 1873, when It
8 debased by Republican congress, Isl
essential to the return of general ma ia,
prosperity. With this sentiment tn,
heir back the advocates of free coin. tn,
will wage tine battle. It will be an en-,
'nsive one, for Wall street has lost its Sal
'ors, and had it only open enemies to CHI
with, success would be assured. Viz
there are traitors in the ranks. The lics
'le had every reason to believe that ton
president and Window, notwith- Wa
ding the Republican platform, were ina
INST them, and they were not much Is !,
ppointed in that quarter. Their don
was in congress, where a united for
t on the part Of the representatives foul

to party, could compel justice. And scht
