THEY ".

In the last hours of the senate debate
on silver, two republicans were heard
in speeches which the country will
note. Senator Wolcott was frank
enough to recite the record Of his own
party on the silver question in order to
prove that IL had not been loyal To its
promises. lie reminded his republican
associates that. after the nomination
of Harrison, desperate efforts were
made to win favor for the ticket among
the farmers and miners of the West.
The republican platform was framed,
I'm part, to suit the wishes of the west
ern states and voters were made To be-
lieve that the declarations made i'm
convention and the promises scattered
by Mr.. lIarrison's supporters would
surely be carried out. The senator had
only to appeal to the record of the ses-
ions legislation in order 10 show how
faithless his own party had been 10 all
its pledges.
The other republican whose remarks
were carefully needed, is Mr.. Edmunds.
That willy debater did not attempt any
defense of his party, but when
he had TO face Senator Plumb's
amendment, which he entitled, "This
hoodlum that has been set up" he
took occasion publicly TO
that free coinage is distinctively a dem
ocratic measure and that. under its
operation, the people of the country
would find themselves deluded and
misled. The senator seemed fairly
ashamed of his membership in a body
that could be tempted to favor silver,
his significant comment being. II am
willing to deliver over TO the demo
cratic party the management of the
finances of the country for the time
being"
senator Edmunds is one of the adyo-
Gates of the Wall street idea. and he
rates himself a wise and n conserva-
tive man because he is unwilling Ia

Canasim's Future.

From the New York Tribune.
The most accurate forecast of the future
Of Canada is contained in n volume pub
lishcd twelve years ago 10y Professor
Goodwin Smith. In that treatise he as
sumed. after an exhaustive analysis of the
political, social and religious tendencies
Of the provinces. that Canadian nation
ality was "A lost cause; hat confederation
would do little more than To develop the
bad side of democratic government, and
that the ultimate union Of Canada with
the United States was morally certain.
That experienced observer IMPAIRED his
popularity in the dominion by that publi-
cation. but he has found no reason during
the last twelve years To modify his judg-
tent. His arguments have never been
answered and Tho weight Of his conclu-
sion increases every year. The equal
rights movement. which is the outgrowth
of the auti-Jesuit legislation, points uner-
ringly Ia annexation as the remedy for re-

The famous precinct "a has been
wiped out of existence by act of the
Silver Bow county commissioners who
are redistricting the county. The re-
publicans endeavored to wipe IL out
last winter and SO far as the doctored
records at Helena and Washington
show they succeeded. There will be
no objection to the way it was wiped
out yesterday. No n will pretend to
say that precinct "a has vet been elimi-
mated from Montana politics. II will
not be wiped out of the public memory
for years to come. and like Banquo's
ghost il will be arising always ut the
most undesirable momentsto confound,
unnerve and paralyze the republican
party.

Silver Bows district court is given
us some curious verdicts. A few days
ago, the jury, In a case where the pris-
oner was charged with a capital crime,
came in practically with the cOnclu-
sion that they believed him guilty but
the evidence didn't appear to make the
conclusion clear. Two days ago the
court witnessed a remarkable proceed
ing, tn. jury getting in the work ahead
of the court, the prosecution and the
defense, The members of this jury had
been sent out of the court room, while
the defense, in opening its case, was
arguing q motion for the discharge of
the defendant. While the discussion
was going on. the jury sent in word
that ii had reached a conclusion, and
the acquittal of the prisoner was forth
with announced. The STANDARD is
not enough of a lawyer to say where,
in court proceedings the right time
comes for the jury to put in its oar,
but the case i'm point is remarkable i'm
its way and naturally attracts atten-
ton.

People who keep birds may thank
their stars that they are not back in
New York. In 1886 the legislature of
that state passed a law at the instance
of humanitarians who felt shocked
over the prevalence of the feminine
habit of decorating hats and bonnets
with the plumage of the feathered
denizens of the air. They thought IL
was cruel and barbarous To sacrifice
bird life on the altar of woman's vanity.
Some time ago a bird faneier was ar
rested by a game protector who found
seventeen birds for sale i'm cages in her
store. 4 police justice who tried the
ease decided that the law was intended
to stop the killing of birds and did not
prevent their being kept in captivity.
The case was then carried 10 the SUI
preme court. which finds that the law
does cover song birds kept in captivity
and imposes a fine of five dollars for
each bird. New York must he re-
yiving the blue laws of Connecticut.

smartness, Righteousness and philan-
thropy in closing up the sinful bucket

sion of the Illinois supreme court.
which says once for all that any specu-
lation in grain is a criminal offense.
The oilense is defined in the revised
criminal code of 1874, and the court
holds that the purchase of grain or
other commodities for future delivery
is a gambling contract il the intention
at the time of the purchase was TO
make a future settlement. and not an
actual delivery. Some of the Chicago
papers are making ingenious argu-
ments To show that the law is all wrong
and the board of trade all right. They
uphold grain speculation as a necessary
corollary of grain cultivation. A good
deal of political economy ms well as
moral philosophy is involved in the
controversy, but in all the confusion
one point of lucidity is ~discoverable
and that is under the existing law

PERVSoR OLIVER.

turus-The Total May be Increased TO
Quarter Of q Million When the Work is
Done.
Supervisor Oliver received a telegram
from Census Superintendent Porter author
izing him to give out for publication such
census figures as he had in his possession.
Mr.. Oliver at once proceeded to make an es-
innate based on the returns so far made.
Complete returns of but II wards have been
made. and the enumeration of these, the
largest in the city, is SO palpably below the
actual population that a new enumeration will
have to be made of them.
In the other wards there are from one to
eight districts yet to be heard from. Census dis
tricts and election districts identical except
in is olated cases. but it is impossible to compute
population upon the basis of votes because the
lines of most of these districts have been re-
Gently changed. In the Fourteenth ward the
lines of the IL election districts have been en-,
trely changed and Mr.. Oliver is therefore un-
able to estimate the population in one or more
of them.
Mr.. Oliver after a careful study of the re-
turns made and of other data in his possession,
estimates the population of Pittsburg to-day at
about 240, 000 as against 156. .2S9 in 1880 This
total, he says. may be increased by the COM
plete and revised returns to 250.000. Several
charitable institutions have to be Incorporated
in the total.
