lie Merely Wondered,

The boarder on Cass avenue looked up
appealinsly at his landlady. There were
in his face the lines OF patient suffering that
dumb driven cattle show when one looksa at
them closely, and there was about him that
air of submission married men sometimes
cannot quite conceal. The landlady caught
his eye.
We'll, what is it," she asked suspi-
ciously.
He turned the chicken leg over on his
plate meekly and looked at her again.

Then what are you wondering at?' she
insisted.
Il was merely wondering," he said, IF

"Oh, no.; but for months and months
you've been feeding me on wings, wings,
nothing but wings, and now that you have

The recently organized iron orc truet
has decided to be content with Il profit
of S2.9o a ton on its product. The
price per ton, according to one of the
officers, will be maintained at $3.50, the
profit being about &C 90 per cent. AS
the trust will control moBto of the outDut
of iron ore in the United States. Tho
prospects of the stockholders wonIa
seem to be pretty good. Furthermore.
the trust will be stocked for several
times the actual cost Of the plant, and
those in on the ground floor will mani
fold their wealth. And yet, if the tariff
should be SO adjusted that the con
sumer would be benefited, the first
thing the iron octopus would do would
be to cut down the wages of its work
ingmen. The stockholders would never
willingly consent to u reduction of A
profit Of 6G 90 per cent and fat divi-
dends on watered stock.
Trusts We're developed by the McEin-
ley law.

TREATMENT or PRISONERS IN 1863.
English and Spanish Soldiers Taken In
Baltic Horribly Tortured.

English and Spanish Soldiers Taken In
Baltic Horribly Tortured.
In tho summer of 1863 eight English mcr-
chantmen anchored in the roads at Gibral-
tar. England and France were then at war.
A French brig came in after them and
brought up near. At sea, If they could
take her, sho would have been a lawful
prize. Spaniards under similar circum-
stances had not respected the neutrality OF
English harhors. The Englishmen were
perhaps in doubt what to do when the otli-
GERS of the holy office came off to the
French ship. The sight of the black famil-
lars drove the English wild. Three of them
made II dash ut the French ship, intending
to sink her. The inquisitors sprang into
their boat and rowed for their lives. The
castle guns opened, md the harhor police
put out to interfere. The French ship, how
ever, would have beentaken, when unluck-
lily Alvarez de Bacan, with Spanish squad
ron, came around into the straits. Resist
ance was impossible.
The eight English ships were captured
and carried OIL to Cadiz. The English flag
was trailed under De Bacan's stern. The
crews, $40 men in all, We're promptly con-
demued to the galleys. In defense they
could but say that tho Frenchman was an
enemy. and Il moderate punishment would
havo sutticed for Il violation of the harbor
rules which the Spaniaras themselves so
little regarded. But the inquisition was
memorable, and the men were treated with
such peculiar brutality that after nine
months 90 only of the 240 were alive.
Terocity was answered by ferocity. Lis
ten to this: The Cobhams of Cowling cas-
tie were Protestants by descent. Lord Cob
ham was famous in the Lollard martyr
ology. Thomas Gotham, one of thefamily,
had taken to the sea, like many of his
friends. While cruising in the channel he
caught sight of u Spaniard on the way from
Antwerp to Cadiz, with 40 prisoners on
board, consigned, it might be supposed, to
the inquisition.
They were of course inquisition prison
ers, for other offenders would have been
dealt with on the spot. Gotham chased
her down into the Bay of Biscay, took her,
scuttled her and rescued the captives. But
that was not enough. The captain and
crew he sewed up in their own mainsail
and flung them overheard. They were
washed ashore dead, wrapped in their *
traordinary winding sheet. Gotham was
called to account for this exploit, but he
does not seem to have been actually pnn-
In a very short time he was out and
away again at the sid work. There were
plenty with him.-Froude in Longman's

THE OLD ROMAN.

No public man Of the present genera
ton has kept SO close to the people for
SO long a time as that noblest Roman Of
them all, Allen G. Thurman. The con-
fidence of the people in his unswervinc
fidelity to their interests and his sterl-
ing integrity was never shaken during
his long and useful career in public life,
and it was heartily reclprocated by
him. Mr.. Thurman believed in the
people, was of the people and for the
people. Therefore it is not surprising
that he should be panied and grieyed at
the prospect Of the entire d~emonetiza-
ton of silver, the peoples money, by
the congress Of the United Statos. The
following telegram sent by him to a
former colleague in the senate is the
sorrowful protest of q great man against
a wrong that would have mot the heroic
resistance of his younger and active
days:
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept. 8, 1893.-Hon. T.
M. Cockrell, Washington: Is it POSSIBLE
that the United States senate, now demo
cratic. is to be bulldozsd into the demonet-
ization of silver? ALLEN G. Thurman.
Those younger members Of the senate
impetuously bent ON the policy of
wiping out half the currency Of the
United States would do we'll to u
and give earnest thought to the admoni-
ton of the grand old man of the demo-
cratic party.

II CONGRESS- should pass another law
extending the time in which Chinese
laborers desiring to stay in this country
may register it is quite likely that a ma
Jority OF those now here would avail
themselves of the opportunity, together
with additional thousands who would
hastily flock to the country in order to
get certificates Of registration. Then
the first Chinaman arrested who had not
registered would appeal his case 10 the
supreme court and that very deliber-
alive body would take it's time in hand
ing down a decision, and after the valid
ity OF the law was sustained, if it should
be, the law might or might not be en-
forced. In the meantime the Chinese
would keep on coming, What the coun-
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-09-17
try would like to see is the enforcement
OF laws already in the books, not more
inetfectual enactments by congress.

The captain of n fishing schooner, re-
comfy returned from Iceland, reports
that fully 800 people are to leave tho
island this year for the Canadian North
west, and ms the Canadian government
will pay their passage, and in other ways
enable them to settle in now and moro
desirable homes, the exodus is likely to
continue at a lively rate until only u
few thousand Icelanders are left in the
bleak seats OF their little division of the
Gothic family.

A HELENA LECTURE COURSE.

There ought to be q popular lecture
course in Helena-twenty-fiye cents ad
~nission-this winter. Such men as
Young, Merritt, Croker, Seheppe, San
ders, Botkin, and others, among our
t~oWnspeople, could talk interestingly
and fascinatingly on science. literature,
art, politics and social problems. while
from other parts OF the state strong tai
ent could be draw. There is Prof.
Traphagen, chemist and mineralogist.
formerly of Deer Lodge and now at the
Agricultural college; there are his col
leagues Prof. Emery, the horticultu rist
and scientific farmer, and Prof. Chand-
Ter, the mathematician and mechanical
engineer, both Of whom are scholars and
thinkers. There is President Ryon. an
authority on metallurgy and kindred
topics. All of these men have something
to say and know how to say 1t. Then
We have some army officers stationed in
the state who are specialists in interest
ing fields and any number of natural
lists, explorers, scientists and local his
torians who would be glad of the oppor-
tunity to discuss their favori1e subjects
in public. Many Of these lectures could
be enlivened by the use Of stereopticons
there are fine ones in the state-and
maps, specimens, etc.
One Of these days the Public Library
trustees may have sufficient funds to
undertake such a course every winter,
but, until that time comes, private sub
scription would have to be relied p
