A Pacific Cab,e.

One day last week Senator Carter in
troduced a bill in the interests of the
Pacific Gable company which wishes
to lay cable from San Francisco to
Honolulu and japan. The company, IL
is said. does not ask the government
for any direct aid but would like GER
tain contracts to do the governments
telegraph business for a term of years.
The Hawaiian government has offered
subsidy of $4,000.
The Pacific Gable company has been
Incorporated under the laws of the
state of New York and contains several
New York capitalists. They believe
that telegraphic communication with
Honolulu and japan is desirable, both
In a commercial and a diplomatic
sense. Not long ago the subject of a
government cable was agitated, but
the common opinion was that II was
not within the functions of the govern
ment to undertake the project. Private
capital believes that the time has come
when the proposed cable may safely be
laid as a business enterprise. The i'm
mense strides japan has recently been
making in commerce and industry, and
the likelihood that her business rela-
tions with the United States are to be
materially expanded. warrant the be-
belief in the success of the enterprise.
A cable to Honolulu alone might not
prove remunerative for many years
yet, but Honolulu as a side station will
certainly increase the revenues of the
company in a very satisfactory man.
ner. All three countries will be bene-
fited by the laying of the cable.

Many kind words have been spoken
In Butte within the past forty-eight
hours in tribute to the late Judge r.
w. Cole. whose funeral will be attended
to-day. 1t is truthfully said Of him
that he held a foremost rank among
the distinguished lawyers in the North
west. Nearly a generation ago he was
recognized as one of the most gifted
attorneys in Nevada; in Montana, in
more recent years. he has shared In the
trial Of many important causes. al
ways with fidelity to his clients and
often with conspicuous success. He
was a man of literary tastes Of a high
order. He was not much given to
companionship with those about him;
he preferred the retirement of his own
room. But Judge Cole was warmly
esteemed by those who were acquaint-
ed with him. and IL can be said OF him
that his professional career is a record
Of spotless integrity.

With the Opposition.

How happened Senator Cameron to
vote with the anti-silver men last FRI
day? The question under consideration
involved the expediency of opening the
mints of the United States to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Thir-
ty-six senators voted for silver's side
of the question, but Mr.. Cameron voted
with the goldbugs. This change of
front is the more noteworthy because
Mr.. Cameron is the only republican
senator representing a constituency
east of Omaha who has been classed
with silver's friends.
The resolution itself may pass, as the
senate's reply to the presidents mes
sage. The vote will hardly be regarded
as test, as only sixty senators were
present. At the same time, 1t shows
that free coinage has strength enough
in the senate to interfere with any leg
the views Of the president and Mr.. Car
hsle.
Evidently, the president took advan-
tage of the confusion in Wall street
and the warlike talk in which the coun-
try is indulging to press his currency
schemes. Clearly. both houses of con-
gress propose to give the president cor
dial support in the policy he inaugural
ed respecting Venezuela, but enough
has happened to show that this does
not signify a willingness on the part of
congress to surrender to Mr.. Cleveland
in matters relating to finance.
AS for Mr.. Cameron. 1t is not proba-
BILE that he intends to operate hereafter
with the enemies of silver. Hitherto he
has manfully faced the harsh criticism
of his own constituents-through thick
and thin he has stood with the advo-
Gates of free coinage. He does not in
tend to be a candidate for reelection,
but his present term does not expire
until March. 1897. and meanwhile a
situation may be evolved which would
make It possible for Mr.. Cameron to
render distinguished service in aid of
silver's restoration.

Boston had its share Of excitement
yesterday. The stock market went to
pieces. bankers and brokers failed and
the dispatches say that certain Monta-

slump. That is suggestive news, be-
cause yesterday was December q.

could he have been witness yesterday
of what was going on In Boston, with
it's racket over Montana copper stocks

More Code Trouble.

Weeks ago the Standard directed
attention to the interesting fact that
the license law. under the new codes.
was Of doubtful quality-it appeared In
certain essential features to clash with
the constitution of the state. Later on
a test case was brought In Silver Bow
county. The question at issue was
argued at length. Judge speer gave
the matter the most careful study; his
decision is that the license law is un-
constitutional The understanding is
that the case will be taken to the
supreme court-if. in the end, Judge
Speer's decision is affirmed. the county
funds and. for that matter, the state
revenues viii be in a sorry way.
The point involved can be briefly
stated. The first section in the thir-
teenth article Of the constitution says
that the necessary revenue for the sup
port of the state shall be provided by
the legislative assembly. This section
closes with the words: ''The legislative
assembly may also impose a license
tax. both upon persons and corpora
tions doing business In the state" But

Some of the Men.

Many OF the republican politicians
were interested to know the choice
Speaker Reed would make of a chair
man for the ways and means commit
tee; that chairmanship is Of great i'm
portance. It was told by some Of those
who professed to know that Mr.. Reed
would name Congressman Payne, who
represents an inland district In New
York. A few republican newspapers
took occasion 70 suggest that. as the
speaker is a citizen of Maine. he would
see the improperly of giving the chair
manship in question. and essentially
the floor management of the house, to
another man from Maine. But Mr..
Reed didn't see anything of the sort
he named Nelson Dingley. Jr., who has
been a member OF the house ever since
Maine promoted Mr.. Frye to the SEN
ate. more than a dozen years ago.
Those Maine people are In the habit
of giving to their representatives In
congress successive terms of service.
They kept Hannibal Hamlin in the SEN
ate as long as he wished to stay and
then elected Eugene Hale. who has
been senator since 1881. Mr.. Frye had
six terms in the house before he en-
tered the senate. Mr.. Reed has been
ten times elected a member Of the
house. Mr.. Milliken. OF Maine, is on
his seventh term.
Mr.. Hit gets from Speaker Reed the
chairmanship of the committee on for
eign affairs. That had been antici-
pated; that was Mr.. McCreary's COM
mittee last year. In the Fifty-third
congress. Mr.. Bland was chairman OF
the committee on coinage. That office
goes to Mr.. Stone. OF Pennsylvania,
with Mr.. Hartman. OF Montana. second.
Mr.. Stone voted with the goldbugs
