n. f. Barrett Talks on the Result in Massa
cbusetts and His Own State.


n. T. Barrett, civil engineer of New
York, was passenger on one of the trains
delayed by the freight wreck last night.
As he strobe up and down the inner depot
his fine appearance commanded attention.
Over six feet, with broad shoulders and fine
carriage, he was the ideal man one reads
about in novels. As an observer of the
world and its goings on he was particularly
in it. He is free trade Republican.
Speaking of the recent elections he ad-
vanced some sensible views. AS to New
York he expected the result which is now
on record, but was surprised at the reversal
of things, inasmuch that Flower got the
votes of the interior while Fassett carried
the banner below Harlem river The hand
of Platt was to be seen in this result.
He was much surprised at the old Bay
State giving Democratic majority, but
when he sized the thing up he, attributed it
TO the fact that there are MANY free trade
Republicans down there who have waived
the old-time loyalty to party as practiced
during the war, and now vote as their bust
ness interests and convictions dictate. The
gentleman went West on the limited.

total of all city taxes, 81, ia, ,4S1 GO The
total for 1890 was 81, 131, ,9S5 80, or II ,503 a
more than this years entire levy. But, al
though the property tax levy was heavier
last year, the amount paid this year before
the expiration of the time when the col

OF the s711, 175 69 on the water tax dupli-
cate S52S 460 60 was paid and S1S2, 715 went

paid all but 81, ,359, on which the de-

ment being only S7,343 75, and all but

the outlook for the growth of the industry
was altogether encouraging.

Mr.. Demilt, us that of P. H. Laufman &

lieve, is the first that actually entered upon

OF Cannonsburg, Pa, which has lately taken
up the manufacture, while the United States

bark at once in tin plate manufacture, but

THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEN.

The good people Of Helena are greatly
troubled over recent discoveries in their
markets that things are not what they
SEEM First, the health inspector and the
police unearthed milk factory, where a
fluid, composed of glycerine, soda, sugar.
saltpetre and carmine, and liberal quanti-
ties OF aqua pura, was prepared, and the
mixture retailed from wagons at the low
rate of twenty cents per gallon. The coun-
terfeiters and supply of their product
were captured and hauled up in the courts.
The next blow at the confidence Of the m
suspecting Helena public came from
quarter that has often been pointed out in
these columns as source Of danger-the
low grade illuminating oils.
In a recent issue in behalf of Prof. F, w,
Traphagen, of the College of Montana, we
made public his offer to analyze any coal
Oil samples sent to him from Montana
cities free of charge The Independent
accordingly provided its young men with
bottles, or perhaps they took their own
private TASKS, and a dozen samples were
collected, labeled and forwarded to Prof.
Traphagen at Deer Lodge. After being
duly tested, all but one were found want
ing, and to be dangerous oils, the flashing
or exploding point being less than ITO de-
grees. The range was from G3, TO- SO to 9s
degrees for the samples submitted, which
shows an extremely dangerous condition
OF all the oils used in that city, and MS tests
of oils purchased in all parts of the State
show similar results, it is matter which
should receive the prompt attention Of our
Legislature as soon as we get one. A law
! could then be passed regulating the grade
| of oils, and providing that all sold should
| reach the safety standard of purity. The
| low grade Of oils in Montana is due to the
| fact that other States have enacted such

the dumping ground for dangerous and
worthless oils, which could not be sold

HELENA, MoNr., Jan 21.-The Senators,
Democratic and Republican, held joint
caucus, Mt p. M, to consider proposition
for adjustment of the legislative difficulty,
submitted by Senator Hcnncssy, and unani-
mously endorsed it. Its now being formu-
lated in writing for their signatures, and
will be submitted to the respective Houses
this evening. The proposition, as I learn

meet; then admit two Democrats and
three Republicans Ito be determined by
the Silver Bow delegation from the con-
testing members), and give the organiza-
ton, Speaker, subordinate officers and

This will prevent any Objectionable

THE SILVER BILL.
The Question Now Before the House of
=.5= s.. z. representatives.

The silver bill as passed by the Senate is
free coinage measure pure and simple,
free from all the national bank and bond
legislation contained in the financial bill.
With the exception of slight technical
amendments and the omission of the pro-
vision for covering into the treasury the
national bank redemption fund, the bill is
like that passed by the Senate last year,
which was the basis of the compromise
embodied in the present law. The bill
provides:
That from and after the date of the pass
age of this act the unit Of value in the
United States shall be the dollar, and the
same may be coined of 412115 grains of
standard silver or of 25.S grains of standard
gold, and the said coins shall be legal ten
der for all debts, public and private
That hereafter any owner of silver or
gold bullion may deposit the same Mt any
mint of the United States, to be formed
into standard dollars or bars for his benefit
and without charge, but it shall be lawful
to refuse any deposit of less value than
500, Or any bullion so base rs to be insult
able for the operations of the mint.
That the provision of section three of
"An act to authorize the coinage of the
standard silver dollar and to restore its
legal tender character" which became a
law Feb. 29, 1873, is hereby made applica-
BILE to the coinage in this act provided for,
That the certificates provided for in the
second section of this act shall be of de-
nominations Of not less than one nor more
than one hundred dollars, and such certifi-
Gates shall be redeemable in coin of stand
ard value. A sufficient sum to carry out
the provisions of this act is hereby appro-
priated out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated. So much OF
the act of July ID, 1890, entitled "An act
directing the purchase of silver bullion
and the issue of treasury notes, and for
other purposes" as requires the purchase
OF 100000 ounces of silver bullion per
month, be and the same is hereby repealed,
That the certificates provided for in this
act, and all silver and gold certificates
already issued, shall be receivable for all
taxes and dues to the Unites States of eyery
description, and shall be legal tender for
the payment of all debts, public and pri-
vate. The owners of bullion deposited for
coinage shall have the option to receive
coin or its equivalent in the certificates
provided for In this act, and such bullion
shall be subsequently coined.
