proof and for that reason did not pro-
vide any fire escapes. The law in Mon
treal. as in other cities generally, calls
for fire escapes. but the authorities
evidently did not think IL necessary
under the circumstances to enforce the
law. SO II happened that there was
no means of rescue. and more than a
score of employees were seriously in
jured, some of whom have since died.
The Montreal factory contained in the
neighborhood of 1000 people. The fire
occurred in the daytime and with
proper equipment no life should have
been lost, and very few employees, IL
any, injured. As II was. ladders were
utilized by firemen to carry the half
suffocated and fainting girls. some of
them with their clothing on fire. from
the building TO the ground.
Absolutely fire-proof buildings are ex-
ceedingly rare and no harm would be
done in compelling all factories, hotels,
shops and the like. with adequate
means of escape. The recent legisla-
tive assembly of this state enacted
very excellent law requiring hotels to
provide every guest room with the nee
essary ropes and appliances for escape
in case of fire. Whether all the hotel
proprietors of Montana have yet COM
piled with the requirements of this law
Is a matter that will bear investigation.

What Will They Dor

The testimony of the Philadelphia
Press Is that 1.-THE republicans OF the
West have fallen under the spell OF
the silver delusion to some extent. but
to no such extent as the democrats Of
that section"
We do not know how sure the Press
is of its assertion. What II says is en-
phatically true Of the republicans In the
East; some of our free-silvcr contem-
poraries of republican persuasion might
md It worth while to call upon the
Philadelphia Press for its proofs re-
specting sentiment in the West.
"For our part" adds the Press. I'VE
believe that the republican party will
stand for sound money. and that IL the
democratic party yields to the silver
craze 1t will make the triumph of the
republican party In the presidential
election doubly sure" The Philadelphia
Press IL a power in republican circles.
It's comment respecting the party's pol
icy may be taken in the nature of
prophecy. 1t had immense influence
with the Harrison administ-ation--its
editor was favored with one of the
highest places in the diplomatic service
We commend what this conspicuous
organ of the republican party says to
the candid consideration OF our home
contemporaries.
Undoubtedly the present intention OF
those who run republican national poll
tics is to go into the presidential cam
paign with a declaration that is hostile
to silver. If that happens. as seems
probable. what course will our republi
can neighbors pursue?

In the Debs Case.

1t is reported" that the decision of
the United States supreme court In the
Debs case is In Debs' favor. The re-
port is not official. but there have been
SO many leaks" in the supreme court
IN recent months that this announce
meut OF the Debs decision In advance
of its handing down Is taken quite as
a matter of fact. and nobody seem to
doubt its accuracy. The frequency of
these leaks in connection with the
highest tribunal in the land is becom-
ing scandaious. AS to the merits OF
the decision. the general opinion seems
to be that II is a wise one.
The supreme court. according to the
report, reverses Judge Woods decision
imprisoning Debs for contempt of
court in disobeying an injunction. A
writer In the Boston Traveller puts 1t
In this way: THE use attempted in
this case, of a combination of the in
junction and contempt power. would go
far toward erecting the judges into in
tolerable despots. superseding all other
government. II the act complained OF
by those who asked the Injunction was
criminal. the injunction-contempt pro-
cess was a repeal OF the old method of
procedures practical usurpation of
the powers OF the legislative depart
ment-and IL II was not criminal. but
only In the nature OF a trespass against
the property rights OF the petitioners.
Il was simply indefensible on any
score. The laws already provide means
of meeting resistance to the process of
a court. and to add to them by putting
into the hands OF that court arbitrary
power equivalent to the infamous let
tire de cachet of old French absolutism
is not to be thought OF for a moment. .

Bank DefaIcations.

The astounding discovery OF another
steal in the Shoe and Leather Bank OF
New York by an employee who carried
on his populations during a period of
twelve. years - simultaneously. too,
while See,ey was robbing the bank.
neither of the two thieves knowing
what the other was doing-emphasize
the opinion that modern methods of
bank examination are very flimsy and
ineffective. At the time of the Seeley
revelations the bank examiners went
through the books and investigates It's
affairs, as was supposed. with the
greatest care and most exacting scrut-
my. Yet he failed to discover this ad-
ditional stealage. and possibly II might
not have come to light for a long time
yet but for the voluntary confession OF
the thief. II such a state of things can
exist In a bank. IL would seem as IL
bank examination must be a failure.
In this case. 1t appears. the employee
confined his operations to the deposits
of a few customers. He would enter
up only a portion of their deposits on
the banks books and pocket the bal
ance. The detection OF this kind OF
stealing would seem TO be the easiest
thing in the world IL the bank exam
liner would call in the pass books.
The case of the man Risley. who
broke the First National Bank OF
willimantic. Conn. with his pecuia-
tons. and who died or committed sui
eide in time TO escape the penalty of
his crime, is another illustration OF
defective bank examination. Risley
was one of those good men gone
wrong. He was a most exemplary
citizen" honored and respected I'm all
the country around. The New Haven
Register describes him as a man who.
so far as anybody knew TO the con-
trary. had no expensive habits. He
lived quietly in bachelor quarters at
an expense not TO exceed a thousand
dollars a year. He was either in his
bank at his desk or in his room i'm

THE FREIGHT REDUCTIONS.

The new freight rates detailed in The
Herald on Wednesday morning created
immense interest in this city. Business
men in particular scanned the tables
furnished by this paper with eager
ness. The figures given showed not
only the changes of rates in classes,
but also the effects produced thereby
in carload lots. That arrangement pre-
sented the magnitude of the revolution
in the rates of goods from eastern
points to this city in such a forcible
manner and in such a clear light that
the ordinary reader could easily I'M
derstand it.
The wholesale business houses are
highly elated over the change. 1t is
virtually what they would have de-
manded if a single receiver had been
appointed by the District Court, and is
all that they could at present reason
ably ask. One mas but to glance yer
the lists of former and present prices
as detailed in The Herald to see the
immense saving which viii accrue
from the concessions which have been
made.
1t is argued by some wholesalers
that a sudden dropping of rates is not
beneficial to trade. Firms which have
loaded up large stocks of goods under
the old freight rates have to COM
pete with other houses which are not
so situated, but have the benefit at
once of the reductions. Also it is claim
ed that small dealers who are in debt
to the large wholesale houses take adj
vantage of the reduced rates. particu-
larly in times of cut rates, to purchase
direct from eastern houses, paying
cash for their bills and leaving the
local house to carry their debts. All
this, of course, has its i'll effects in GER
tain directions. These are some of the
troubles of trade.
While we sympathize with individ-
ual firms which are placed at a dis
advantage by such changes as these,
at the same time we must regard the
general welfare as of far greater con-
sideration. It eannot be denied that
