THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST
THURSDAY. JANUARY 10. 1895.
Last Nights Caucus.

The policy of the republican men,
bers of the legislature was TO recog-
nize. in the selection of federal sena-
tors. the boundary which the main
range makes Following that policy,
the members of the caucus that was
held last night in III elena were left TO
choose between Governor II ckards
and Mr. Mantle. This mornings news
shows how easily Mr.. NJ intle carried
off the majority. FIfty-three re-
publicans voted on the first
ballot. Thirty-seven votes were cast
for Mr.. Mantle and sixteen for Gov
ernor Richards
Twenty-seven votes would have
been a majority; Mr.. Mantle had a
margin liberal enough to make good
all the professions that were made re-
speeding his strength while the con
test was pending. Under the circum-
stances, his nomination is in the ma
ture Of a triumph over which his
friends have warrant for rejoicing.
The city of Helena drew the
line on Mr.. Mantle; it became his
task to carry the states west side and,
~ luc w ONOlNOhlp biO up
position that was stirred up against
him in Helena by aspirants who
flattered themselves that they could
score double victory for residents of
Helena by bringing Governor Rick
ards in array against the recognized
candidate from Butte. The vote shows
that Governor Richards was easily
made the tool of plotting politicians
In Helena; they threw him cleverly.
The STANDARD congratulates Mr..
Mantle on the decisive majority &C.
corded him in last nights caucus.
The tug of war turns on the selec-
tion of the second senator. Mr.. Car.
ter is not as strong as his hackers
represented him to be. lie leads IN
the voting, but his lead is just long
enough to be dangerous. He is not
far enough ahead of Sanders and

Last nights caucus adjourned without
conclusions as to the second senator.
That is a result which will be pretty
sure to bring the traditional dark
horse to the front

Something About Weather.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that when
Butte gets to be a regular observation
station of the governments signal ser
vice bureau the East will cease at
tributing all the bad weather they get
TO Montana. If the weather this state
has been blessed with during the fall
and the winter thus far is not as fine
weather as was ever made then the
people of Montana don't know what
good weather is. Nevertheless the
eastern newspapers, when the weather
gets a little tempestuous, invariably
speak OF cold waves and billiards on
the way from Montana, and the
''storm center is moving east" SO far
as Western Montana is concerned the
people don't know what a blizz ard is.
The nearest thing to a blizzard in this
part of the country is chinook.
Signal flags are on the way from
Washington TO Butte, soon they will
be displayed on the city halls flag
staff, and then the people of Butte will
be able TO know every morning what
kind of weather they are having 1t
is TO be hoped the Il Igs will not prove
a hoodoo. Western Montana is well
satisfied with the weather il is having.
aud the weather II has had, and
doesn't care TO have any different
weather forced upon il. If the adj
vent of weather signals means that tie
people in this part of the country
must have the same sort of weat her
that aiflcts the people who already
have the weather signals, that evident e
OF civilization and estheticIsm might
well be dispensed with. Assuran ces
have been received however that the
display of the weather signals does
not necessarily involve any violent
change in the quality of the weather
we have been used 10. nor is IL abso-
lutely necessary that we accept the
kind Of weather provided by the gov
eminent
As the signals Will in a few days be
flung TO the breeze in Butte, the people
OF that city should familiar re them
selves with the code so they can tell al

A Years Crime.

If Montana must confess that it has
been too lenient in not often punish
ing by hanging those who have taken
human life it can at least boast that
no lynchings have marked its criminal
page. 1t Is common for Montana
newspapers to remark, in describing
some atrocious murder, that there is
"a strong feeling against the murderer,
and threats of lynching are openly
made" Whether these threats are
really made as often as the reports
would indicate or not, certainly no at
tempts at lynching are made. This is
particularly creditable to the law-abid-
ing people of Montana inasmuch as
provocation has sometimes been
furnished by the fact that justice has
been so often defeated in the courts
when murderers have been on trial.
The records of the past year show
that there were 1870 lynchings in the
United States during the year, of
which ali but II occurred in the South
Georgia led with 20 lynchings, Ala
bdma and Kentucky had 10 each, Mis-
sisslppi l6 Louisiana 10, Tennessee ID
and Texas II The number of lynch
ings was less than in any former year
since 1890 but the total is horrible
enough.
At the beginning of each year the
Chicago Tribune publishes the Grim
NAL records of the country for the
year just passed The number OF
murders and homicides in the United
States during 1891, according to the
TribuHe'S chronicle, was $500. an in
crease of 3, $50 in one year, and a total
of 1909 more than was reached in any
previous year in the history of
America In four years the national
murder crop has increased 50 per cent,
and 1t is doubling every five years.
| The number of legal executions dur
ing the year was 1872, which Is a greater
number than ever before, but yet a
very small percentage of extreme pun
ishment 10 the number guilty of crime.
Among European nations Italy takes
| the lead IN murders with $40, Spain
| following with 1900, Austria 600
. France 662, England 81. These fig.
ures represent actual murders, while

SILVER HAo A SHOW.
The Politicians Conclude Something
Mnst BE Done For II.

Must BE Done For 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Many of the
democratic senators received the an
nouncement of the adverse vote on the
currency bill as a summons to the senate
to take the question up and find a way
out of the difficulties with which the
country finds itself surrounded. Senator
Voorhees, took the first step for the formal
consideration of the matter by issuing q
call for the meeting of the finance COM
mittee for the purpose of canvassing the
situation and if possible devising means
of improving the condition of the treasury.
So far as can be learned no measure
has been prepared for submission to the
committee, but the movers for the meet
ing hope a general exchange of views of
the present members of the committee
will indicate the general lines on which a
bid may be framed which would stand a
chance of receiving the approval of the
committee and the senate.
Ii is understood Senator Vest has in
mind the outline of a plan for a bill
which he may submit to the committee
and which may prove the basis of future
action. The two principal features are:
First-To authorize the issuance of a
sufficient number of low rate bonds to re-
tire the S3i6, 100000 worth of greenbacks,
and,
Second-To provide for tho purchase
and coinage of n sufficient quantity of sill
yer to increase the silver issuance to $780,
100000, which would be an increase of
about S15O,OOO,0OO. This is suggested as
n compromise on which the bond advo-
Gates and the silver men can agree, but
the scheme has not met general favor.
Some of the silver senators, notably.
the republican silver senators, have taken
the position that they will accept nothing
short of provision for unlimited silver
coinage. They will not insist upon free
coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, but are WILL
ing to allow the government a liberal
seigniorage. They will not agree, how
ever. that any limit shall be placed upon
the amount to be received on the terms
agreed upon. 1t is not known how the
finance committee will stand upon the
proposition, but the silver men believe a
poll of the committee will show a major
ity friendly to that metal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The senate COM
mittee on naval affairs again postponed
the final consideration of the resolution
providing for a dallistic test of the Carne-
gle armor plates, and also the bill for the
reorganization for the personnel of the
navy. The postponemeut of the armor
plate resolution was due TO n statement
that Carnegie had made application to
the secretary of the navy for a settlement.
This question Senator Mcpherson. as
chairman. was authorized 10 investigate,
and tho matter was left in allegiance pend
ing the rep prt. Ii was stated that Carne-
gie's proposition was to remove the armor
plates alleged to tie defective and subject
them to the required test and replace
them at his own expense.

In many legislatures this winter the
regulation of the liquor traffic will
command good deal of attention. a
severe battle is already raging in
Maine, those opposed to prohibition
being stronger in Names legislature
than for years before and they are try
ing to have the question of prohibit
ton resubmitted to the people Re-
form is all the rage in New York
state and movement is on foot TO re-
form the present loose license law in
that state. The Brooks high license
law in Pennsylvania has been at
tackled. In New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts efforts are being made to
change the present liquor laws, and in
South Carolina the dispensary plan
has proved a marked failure. Moth
ing has been heard relative to liquor
legislation in Montana.

An Estimate of Custer.

In the New York Herald of recent
date Col John a. Cockeriil gives one
of the best accounts of Clusters battle
that has yet appeared in an eastern
newspaper. 1t is written after a visit
TO the Custer battlefield and evidently
after a careful study of the reported
facts. lie absolves Custer of lack of
intelligence in his plans and of rash
ness. lie attributes the disaster to in
adequate scouting. He pays a glow
ing tribute to the courage and hero
ISM of Custer and his troopers, con-
sidering the "last stand" as superior
in these qualities to the "Charge of
the Light Brigade" His estimate of
Custer and his glowing description of
this battle coincide in very many re-
spects with John Maguire's estimate
and description of the only great bat
tie ever fought on Montana SOIL
