A Pointer for Train Robbers.

A travelling representative of largo
Boston machine works showed me yes
terday a big bullying potket-book, filed
with grecnbacks. On my demonstrating
with him for carrying so much money,
he said in the first place that it was
necessary for him to carry large sums
when he travelled west of the Missouri
river; but he added in rather mysteri-
GUS way that IL he had no more money
than was contained in his portemonaie
he would be destitute indeed. Upon be-
ing cro5s-examined he stated that the
bills he had shown me were green
gocds"-outlawed bank bills OF ante
bellum times: that he carried them as a
means of escaping robbery. lie had a
special pocket made for his genuine
money and carried the outlawed bank
bills where they could easily be found
in case any attempt were made to rob
him. lie stated that the idea was not
original with him, but had been in quite
common use for some time, and that it
was the best means OF protection against
pickpockets, footpads and train robbers
that had been inventcd.-BoSton Adv:~

years occurred this evening about 6
o'clock. 1t was nearly time for work
to stop all over the city, when the re-
port came that caisson at the bridge
had given way and the workmen en-
ployed in it had been drowned or
crushed to death by stone and tim
bers. The caisson, known as No. |,
was about 100 yards from the Ken
lucky shore. As the workmen of the
pumping station were looking for the
men in the caisson to put off in their
boats, leaving work for the night, they
suddenly saw the low, dark structure
disappear in dashing white waves and
heard, before they could realize what
had happened, the roar of the furious
maelstrom. Only four of the 10 men
in it escaped. Corrected reports show
the following list of killed:

Congressman Bayne must have at
tended church last sunday and learned
am impressive lesson in meekness. lie
is the mar who was at the bottom of
the row in the house on Saturday, the
result of which was a vote Of s
on Mr.. Bynum, which that gentleman,
in the hearing of the speaker, repudi-
ated like a man.. Yesterday, when he
was called to the front by Mr.. Wilson,
whom he had also covertly assailed,
Mr.. Bayne was as tractable as whipped
youngster and professed regret for the
the whole affair. Mr.. Bynum declared,
saturday afternoon, that he would wear
the censure as a decoration of honor"
IL appears to be a badge well adapted
10 that style of wear.

rood and MI. Couch is certainly 4 good

gOO0 ana MT. tOucn Is certainly q Boou
miner.
The interview in question infers that
the work on the new road would have
been expedited IL right of way had
been promptly voted by tine city council
of Anaconda. On that score, we sup
pose that the projectors of the road and
the city council mutually understand
each other. AS we understand 1t, the
aldermen I'm this city very promptly
said that they could not think of vOt-
ing franchises in the dark. There were
no maps, plans, grades OF surveys sub
mitted for their inspection. These
they would naturally have an interest
in knowing something about, out of
decent regard for the public, and II is
not to be supposed that, in view of
what one of the directors of the road
has said, they will consider any ques-
ton of franchise without well-guarded
guarantees that the road will be built
and equipped within a specified num-
Der of months.
This latter condition becomes imper-
alive i'm as much as Mr.. Thompson dis
tinctly announced: "We shall make the
survey and locate the line and then sell
out to any corporation that desires to
build" The STANDARD has lately
heard that Mr.. Thompson simply
doesn't know what he is talking about.
We observe, however, that within two
days after his comment was printed in
Helena, he was elected one of the direc-
t,r, Of tho road and nnrou,p oco,,a;pt-
ance with the gentleman leads us to
conclude that he Is not in the habit of
making any wild statements. Mr..
Thompson doesn't exactly need a guar
dian and, as we view the situation, his
statement must stand until he changes
il, since he is one of the directors.
OF course the road builders can go
ahead without consulting Anaconda.
The only point is that, in our judgment,
the council, having a full sense of its
duty toward the people, will not fling
away any franchise compliments. Its
members run no risk of harming any
man, any business or any inch of prop
erty in this city by going slow, since
there will be a railroad up the canyon.
anyway, n that will be equipped and
running before Thanksgiving day; and
it won't have any directors who pro-
pose to capture rights-of-way and
then sit down to be bought out. IL will
be n road that lives and moves and has
a being.
This being the fact, the promoters of
the line discussed in yesterdays inter
view have no fault to find with the
Anaconda city council. When they
get grades and ties and rails the length
of the canyon, they can get into this
city fast enough. Anaconda knows
what is good for it; and isn't putting up
bars against any real railroad.

THE CANYON LINE

In an interview printed yesterday,
Mr.. Piatt, of the Southern Cross mine.
gave TO the Inter Mountain several
interesting facts relating TO the mining
properties up Warm Springs Greek
canyon. Much that the gentleman says
confirms all that the STANDARD has
declared regarding the wealth of the
region. II is a good field for a railroad
and a line up the canyon will be of i'm
mense account TO this city.
The Inter Mountain interview as
sumes TO correct an statement
in the STANDARD ito the effect that Mr..
Couch is a large holder in the Southern
Cross" Nothing of the sort was ever
said in this newspaper. Its single com
ment on that score was i'm
two lines, which said that
there have been negotiations
lately between Mr.. Couch and owners
of the Southern Cross a fact which
is fully confirmed by the Inter Mount
ain interview; indeed. the story of the
negotiations and of their failure had
been learned by the STANDARD direct
from Mr.. Couch himself, so that the re-
mark referred TO is not open to correc.
ton in any respect. If the negotiations
were revived and carried TO successful
conclusion, the STANDARD could con-
fidently congratulate both Mr.. Couch
and the other owners of Southern Cross
stock, as the mine is reported TO be

President Harrison is the stumbling
block in the way of silver's progress.
Not that he is of account in anything
that relates to the merits of the case.
lie knows nothing of the question, II
does not interest him, except as he
wants TO Halter the West and yet stay
with the East. For all opinion re-
lating 10 the silver fight, the President,
in his first message, mildly referred the
country TO Mr.. Window. That was
enough for the West, IL settled the
question of alleged friendliness on the
part of the administration TO the cause
of silver. But the president has been
playing fast and loose with the issue.
Reports that were known to be semi
official, at least, were circulated two
weeks ago TO the effect that the presi-
dent would sign any silver bill that
congress might pass. IL now appears
that this was done simply to let the
executive unload responsibility on re-
publicans in the senate and house. In
turn, the members are afraid to face
the issue, and we find ourselves again in
the presence of the story that the east
ern men would be agreeable enough
We're IL not for their fear of n veto.

girls have constantly been uppermost
In their thoughts, a statement we will
not dispute. We are prepared to see
these gentlemen bring forward elabOr-
ate and ingenious arguments purpOrt-
ing to show that the 80 per cent. duty
is a sweet boon to every ballet-girl in
the land, in the absence of which she
would be left without a presentable leg
to stand on. All this we are ready for;

AS far as the committee of the whole
in the house of representatives goes,
the duty of one and a half cents on i'm
ported lead ore stands. Yesterday
brought that question to n test. Con
gresham Carter led the discussion and
the fight was a very earnest one. The
Montana man has been very earnest in
this business from first to last. The
organized opposition, not content to be
whipped in the ways and means COM
mittee, carried the contest TO a larger
field, and it has been punished again.
Toward the victory Mr.. Carter con-
tributed his full share, and he is to be
congratulated OF the triumph he has
helped TO wrest from Window and an
administration that was hostile to lead
as IL remains hostile TO silver.

M'klNltY MuSI SPEAK.

Whether purposely or otherwise Mr..
Mckinley i'm his celebrated tariff bill
has omitted TO remove the duty on
tights. For some reason or other both
sides to the tariff controversy have been
silent on the subject and, taking ad-
vantage of this silence the ways
and means committee has seer lit to
leave tights severely alone, a course
which, no doubt, is highly commended
by all American manufacturers of the
article, If not by all the American con
sumers. This being the attitude of the
administration, the collector of the port
of New York in the discharge of his
duty has notified Secretary Window
that he has has seized and now holds
for non-payment of duty 2i0 pairs of
ballet girl costumes. designed for the
young ladies' of the Madison Square
Theater company. The collector has
appraised the foreign value of the APP
porel at 1880, and he thinks that "a
duty of 81 per cent ad valorem is about
the right thing. At this decision, il APP
pears, the young ladies unanimously
kicked: and although their accomplish
ments in this line had often compelled
the admiration of the public, especially
that portion of il occupying the first
rows of orchestra chairs. in this in
stance their best endeayors ayailed
them nothing. They quickly learned
how hard IL is to kick against the pricks
of an exorbitant tariff: and at present
they seem to have quit kicking, leaving
their costumes in statu quo and the
hands of the custom authorities.
For the past year or two the republi-
have shown deep concern in the
i'm the poor farmer, cheerfully sitting
up nights computing the interest on
his mortgages, and aifording him all
possible protection from making a
profit on anything or getting ahead
in any way. Let us give
the republicans due credit-next to the
poor workingman there is nothing they
love SO well rs the poor farmer their
love for him, il must be confessed, sur
passes that of the Fiji Islanders for

to say about the poor ballet girlp What
are they doing To ameliorate' her con.

of 80 per cent. ad yalorem on every
