WILL LET THEM HANG.
Gov. Tooie Likely TO Let Four In
dians Swing.

Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 16.-Gov.
Toole has received a numerously signed
petition asking respite for four Indian
murderers to be hanged at Missoula
Friday. The respite is asked to give
time to consider the matter of commuta-
ton Of sentence to life imprisonment.
The ground urged for clemency is that
the Indians were convicted ON testi-
mOny of their own race, and the evil
dence being given through an inter-
prefer is liable to have been misunder-
stood. The governor Is generally merci-
full i'll such matters, but it is thought in
this case he will let the Indians hang.
Two of the condemned caught the Mes
siah craze and had to be restrained by
guards.

COINAGE MATTERS.
Mr.. Wickham Succeeds as Chair
man of the Committee.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The house
coinage committee to-day elected Mr..
Wickham, of Ohio, the senior member
of the committee, chairman to succeed
Mr.. Conger, who resigned to become
United States minister to Brazil. There
was no serious discussion of the Repub-
lican senatorial silver proposition, and
it is evidently the disposition to defer
consideration pending some definite
conclusion in the senate. A bill intro
duced by Mr.. Carter, of Montana. was
ordered to be fayorably reported. 1t
provides that gold coin may be ex-
changed into gold bars, but gives the
director of the mint power in his discre-
ton to impose for such exchange a
charge which in his Judgment shall
equal the cost of manufacturing the
bars.

small baud of Pottawatome Indians ar
rived yesterday from the Indian terri

laying claim to large tract of land,

they awaited the arrival of squaws and
older members of the tribe. and later

children. who with other relatives now
claim the property, which comprises 64O

FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Mr.. W. S. McAllister of Mississippi has
introduced preamble and resolution at a
session of the Farmers Alliance, now sitting
in Florida, in which the statement is made
that the Federal Election Bill makes radi-
cal revolution in the election machinery of
the Union and that its passage will be fatal
to the autonomy of the State and the cher
ished liberties of the people. The principle
of the Federal Election Bill has been ap-
piled for years in the Northern States. Its
purpose is to secure fair election of Con-
gressmen from all parts OF the Union. 1t
does not interfere with the cherished liber-
ties of the people of Mississippi in matters
solely concerning the State, but it does de-
clare that if the cherished liberties of the
people of Mississippi require the suppress
sion OF the vote of any class of citzrns
when it comes 10 the election of Congress-
men those liberties must be suspended. One
of these cherished liberties, as we are told,
is to prevent negroes from voting or to
count their votes out on the rare occasion
when their vote is cast. The Election Bill
says the exercise of this kind of liberties
must be stopped. Congressman from Mis-
sissippi may vote in a body for free trade
to the great injury OF the manufacturing
States, and the States whose interests are at
stake have right to know that Mississippi
Congressman are elected by a majority of
the voters in their several districts. The
solid body of free-traders that go into Con-
gress at each session elected on the race is
sue, with the voters of one race left out, are
menace to the industries of the manufac-
turing States. Mississippi will not be af-
fected by Federal supervision of elections
where the State authorities provide for fair
elections and honest counts

President Ariel Lathrop will probably
call the Pacific Coast Blood-horse Associa-
ton together for the annual meeting and
election Of officers about the first of Japu-
airy. 1t is rumored that there will be an en-
tire change of officials from President down
to Secretary, at the coming election Should
President Lathrop not succeed himself the
association will lose the able services of
gentleman whose capabilities and integrity
are too well known to need commentator.
In Treasurer P. A. Finnegan the association
also las had the benefit of most valuable
services, which were most efficient and gratu-
itonsly given, and it will be found difficult
to fill the place as acceptably as Mr.. Finne-
gan has done.
The catalogue of the La Siesta ranch is in
preparation and will be issued about Jauu-
airy 10Th. The list of stock at the ranch
comprises thirty brood mares, of which
three are full sisters to Alfred and seven

eleven and the yearlings sixteen. Eros and

do not Know what course the bOok-makers
intend to take this winter as to closing up
or keeping open and booking on the winter
racing at the New Jersey tracks and New
Orleans. As the Legislature convenes
early in January at Saci amento, it is posi-
BILE that the rooms may be closed before the
statesmen assemble. The public have not
made any considerable fortunes this year,
and the b0ok-makers may conclude to give
them breathing spell to recuperate their
finances.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE

The Boston Transcript, In an article in
tended to be defense of the International
Copyright Act, says: Most men will rise
against the taxation of their clothes, tools
and dinner-pails. but only few will feel
the degradation of buying the latest book of
the prevailing author for ten or twenty
cents that would cost dollar and half il
the bare justice of civilized society in re-
speeding the property CT another man was
done the writer" The Transcript would
make its argument more clear if it would
show why book that can be reprinted and
sold Tor ten or twenty cents by disregarding
the property rights of the author should be
raised in price to one dollar and half when
those rights are respected. II book which
can be reprinted and sold at a profit at either
ten or twenty cents, without taking into
consideration the compensation due the
author, is held at 81 80 when the writer is
compensated, is not the fact conclusive of
an oppressive monopoly? If composition,
press work, paper and incidental expenses
of republication cost but twenty cents is
not an unreasonable compensation given to
the author when the addition of his work
advances the price TO 81 so?
The Illustration of the transcript shows
that under the guise of compromising the
foreign anthor the publishers are creating a
monopoly which will charge its own price
for valuable foreign works

A WESTERN CANDIDATE.

Some of the Western Democratic papers do
not admit the necessity of accepting New
York candidate for the Presidency. In view
OF the feeling between the friends of Mr..
Cleveland ard Mr.. Hill it is thought that a
candidate from some other State would stand
better chance of securing New York's
electoral vote than either of these two as
plfants. Ii Mr.. Hill had accepted the seat
IN the Senate, which Mr.. Cleveland's friends
were willing to give him, the way would
have been made smooth for Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination. But at last accounts Mr.. Hill
thought the prospect for 1892 too bright to be
abandoned. Mr.. Hill has the reputation of
being close observer. lie undoubtedly
thinks that his chance Of election would be
better before a second term of Mr.. Cleveland
titan after. Since both Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Cleveland are working for the nomination in
1872 the Democrats may improve their pros
poets by selecting candidate from the West.

FARAiER-DEMOCRAT.

A Democrat who speaks by authority says
that the Democratic House of the Fifty-s sec
ond Congress will pass series of measures
for free wool, free SALT free lumber, free
binding Irvine, etc, which the Republican
Senate will reject at its peril. The infer
ence is that the provisions of the Mckinley
tariff which protects manufacturers will be
allowed to stand. Possibly the farmers will
like that kind of tariff. They may rally to
the support of party which exposes all
a farmers products to foreign competition,
while continuing TO protect the products of
the manufacturer. Much Of the opposition
to the Mckinley bill has been created by the
refusal Of its authors to put farmers
products on the free list while taxing foreign
manufactured products. The New England
demand for free raw material undoubtedly
cost The Republican party thousands ofvotes
in that section. A few of the dissatisfied
Republicans went over TO the Democrats, but
much the larger number did not vote at all.

TO REGULATE IMMIGRATION.

A Washington dispatch says that the bill
to regulate immigration prepared to take the
place of the contract labor law imposes a
tax OF 81 on each immigrant. 1t is presumed
that this is general tax to meet the ex-
penses OF supervision of immigration, as a
tax Of 81 would not have any appreciable
effect in keeping undesirable immigrants out.
Under protective tariff the question of i'm
migration is of considerable Importance, If
we impose tax on the products of foreign
labor, justice to the iaborer requires that we
impose restrictions upon immigration.
Otherwise employers will import cheap
labor and sell the products of such labor in
the protected markets. Under free trade
there will not be much need Of restriction
upon immigration. The American labOrer
who has to compete with the European la
borer on even terms will not be much better
off than his European com. etiior. Emlgra-
ton instead of immigration might need to be
regulated under free trade.

A Hero of the Famous Battle OF Bal

Among the Dardons Governor Waterman
granted Tuesday was one to an old British
soldier who had performed deeds of valor
and bravery on the battle fields. His name
is Thomas Watson and he was sent from San
Francisco in January, 1887, to State Prison
for six years for grand larceny.
Watson served in the British army in
India and Europe continuously from 1851 to
1860. He participated at the battles OF Alma,
lnkermap, the siege of Sevasiopol and Bal
aklava. He took an active part in the siege
OF Lucknow, and for bravery in that siege
he was presented with Lucknow clasp
He also has been presented with Indian and
Turkish medals for deeds of bravery.
Watson came to San Francisco in 1866
after living with Governor Seymour in Vic
toria, b. c., as his messenger for four years.
His pardon was requested by Dennis Dom
oboe, II. b. M. Consul; Wellesley Moore,
Acting British Vice-Consul; George Z.
