THURSDAY. JANUARY 2, 1896.
In the Senate.

To-day, Mr.. Morrill,, the venerable
gentleman who has just become the
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee. will get his associates at work
over the bond bill and the revenue bin
that lately went rushing through the
house.
In passing the revenue bill first,
Speaker Reed and his friends had a
plan; they wanted to work on the the
ory that the president is wrong in what
he represents as the causes of the pre-
vailing troubles. They want to go
campaigning next year on the PROPOSE
ton that democratic tariff legislation
left the country without money enough
for current living expenses and that
the republicans came promptly to the
rescue. The house passed the bond bill
which the president is anxious to sign,
but 1t first passed a tariff bill to which,
in all probability. the president will not
put his signature.
The indications are that the senate
will take up the bond bill first, proba-
bly, the bill will not get a majority.
Those who urge the bill argue that the
treasury is in straits and must have
relief. The answer to this, constantly
renewed by the silver senator's. is that
the treasury has ample resources for
relief-all that is needed is that the
secretary Of the treasury exercise the
authority with which he is fully vest
ed and use the silver in his possession
for treasury payments. None of the
goldbug people are able to give any
valid reason why this argument Of the
silver senators is not sound.

For 1906.

Yesterday. this busy world passed
the milestone pleasantly; to-day the
new year begins its routine. Eighteen
ninety-six is brand new. and humanity
starts out in hope that 1t will bring
comfort and prosperity. This year the
battle for free coinage will be hard
fought and national politics will have
engrossing interest. By the way. while
you are about It, equip yourself for the
years news by enlisting in the Stand
ards army of regular patrons. In the
life of the Standard the year 1895 was
a gratifying success; this newspaper
has put itself in order for even grander
achievement in 1896 The Standard is
deeply grateful to the advertising
patrons who have favored 1t so gener-
ously during the twelvemonth that is
ended; this office will do its utmost to
make its advertising columns. during
the new year. more valuable than ever
to those who want to let all Montana
know about the wares in which they
deal. The Standard is Montana's
great advertising medium: that is the
testimony of the best advertisers in
Butte. BY the way. the Standard
premium. in connection with advance
yearly subscriptions. is proving to be
an unprecedented success.

The SchOmburak Line.

While the facts on which rests the
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela have been stated in detail
the inquiries that reach the Standard
ONCE are in evidence that the case is
not yet clearly understood by some
newspaper readers.
Venezuela declared herself fndepend-
emit of Spain in 1870 From Holland
England acquired British Guiana by
treaty in 1914. England has not since
secured any additions to her territory
in the region. by any processes recog-
nized in international law. For thirty
years Great Britain laid no claim TO
any of the territory which to-day is in
dispute.
One correspondent of the Standard
wants information respecting the
6chomburgk line. Schomburgk was a
surveyor In ohe service of the English
government. He traced. in 1s4l, line
which starts at the middle of the
mouth of the Orinoco river. He ran his
line where he pleased. without con-
sulting the Venezuelan authorities.
Later on Venezuela protested. London
replica WluQ dSSuIdnctS Iudl Iuc WOEh
was merely preliminary. that Venezue-
la need not be worried, that all errors
would be corrected and that there
would be no cause for complaint Sub
sequentiy most of the monuments set
by Schomburgk were removed under
orders from London.
During fifty years this boundary
question has been constantly coming
up: frequently. as the result of diplo-
matic correspondence, England has
disclaimed any intention TO get the
possession of the disputed district. Ac-
cording 10 all accounts Venezuela has
faithfully observed all the obligations
which she has permitted herself TO as
sumo at one time or another respecting
the disputed territory, when negotia-
lions for a settlement have been pro-
crossing According to the notes of
Premier Salisbury that have lately been
printed, however. Great Britain now
proposes TO insist on the Schomburgk
line. and. as our correspondents know.
the government at London declines to
let the dispute become a question for
arbitration.

passing over the water has very little

A publisher of a New York newspaper
woh had criticized the decisions of a
Judge of inferior Jurisdiction was fined
and imprisoned on a contempt charge.
He appealed and the court of appeals re-
verses the decision and reprimands the
Judge for exceeding his just and legal
powers. The upper court declares that
no Judge has the right to punish for con-
tempt except where the act held to be
contemptuous is committed in the court
or where any person or persons wilfully
violate any order of the court. Going
further the appellate judges hold that no
court has power to punish for contempt
for criticism of its rulings or decisions.

An Old Poets "reminiscences.

If were what / am not and never
shall be. a writer of essays, personal
or impersonal, there is one subject in
which l am persuaded l could interest
literary readers, and that is the i'm
pressions that men of genius have
made on the minds of those who saw
them for the first time. / should Sc
lect authors in preference to other
men Of genius, and among them I
would begin with poets, who have al
ways had a strange fascination for
me. / would take them when they
were becoming conscious of their pow
ers but were not too conscious of them;
when they were young enough, simple
enough, and natural enough to wonder
at and enjoy their gifts, ingenuously,
sincerely and modestly.
/ have known, more or less, most
American poets who were worth know
ing, beginning in my early years with
youngsters of my own age, Taylor,
Boxer, Read, Stedman, and continu-
ing, as the years went on, with Bry-
ant, Lowell and Longfellow; and
among my scanty pleasures OF mem
DRY the most precious in my eyes are
those connected with the hours when
the orbit of my life intersected theirs
in a happy conjunction. l recall as IL
at were yesterday the day when 1 first
met Taylor, and the night when, in
Taylor's room, / first met Boxer, and
other nights and days when / first met
Read and Stedman; but I am not so
sure of the seasons when 1 first met
the masters, whom / approached with
more reverence and an apprehension
that was more than trepidation. I
never made a poetical pilgrimage in
my life,' and, judging from what I
have heard from those who have made
real pilgrimages. never desider to.

Som. Church Shows

Saturdays edition of the New York
Journal describes an entertainment
given in riding academy for the ben
eft of an Episcopal church In New
Jersey II was a novel AFFAIR. The
opening attraction was a wrestling
match. Then came an exhibition of
Japanese fencing. The next number
was the performance of a professional
boxer. who appeared in three rounds.
Thereafter general wild west show
specialties were introduced. the per-
Torrance concluding with a potato
race.
In the Forum for January appears
a breezy article written by Rev. Will
liam Bayard Hale and entitled"A
Study of Church Entertainments"
The clergyman is devoutly indig
nant at the forms which some OF these
entertainments put on. In his opinion
the church at Ephesus or Philippi
did not advertise a bazaar or a clam
bake or a broom drill or pink tea
Mr.. Hale has kept a record. He tells
of one church entertainment where
barrels of beer were among the prizes;
of another where gambling in the
form of a rattle earned money; of an
other which was a congress of beauty
with the selling Of kisses. He quotes
the advertisement in a Boston paper

Utah's AdmiSS on.

The presidents proclamation admit
ting Utah to statehood is expected on
Saturday, and the people of Salt Lake
are making great preparations for
celebrating the event Monday. on
which day the Inauguration ceremo-
niles are to be held. All citizens are
asked to cease work and join in the
celebration with appropriate manifes-
tations of Joy. Utah thinks she has
been much belated in the matter of
statehood and now that her darling
ambition is to be satisfied she will
make the most of 1t.
Some of the provisions of the con-
stitution under which Utah will live
and move and have her being are pc
culiar. Juries, for instance, shall con-
sist of eight men instead of twelve, as
in all other states of the union. Just
why the change was made is not APP
parent unless 1t was to save expenses
in Jury fees or time in the selection of
juries. A verdict must be unanimous
in criminal cases, but in civil cases
three-fourths of the jury may agree
upon a verdict. The legislature and
the state board of education are pro-
hibited from prescribing text books for
the public schools and, although uni
fomity of school books throughout a
state is much to be desired, in the
light of the recent experience of Mon
tana, Oregon, Washington and other
states with the school book boodlers,
we are not sure that Utah's plan is not
the wiser.
In Utah women are to have an equal
voice with men in the direction of all
political affairs. They may vote at
all elections. The new constitution Sc
cures every one the right to obtain
employment wherever possible and any
| interference with this right is consti-
tuted a crime. The trainers of the con-
stitution were firm believers in the
policy of paying as you go. They in
serted a provision prohibiting the
state from going into debt for a great
err amount than $500, 900. except in case
of insurrection. when it may borrow
whatever is necessary for its suppress
sion; or IL the state Is attacked by out
side forces 1t may contract a loan fol-
any amount required to repel the in
| vaders.

Judge Jamison, of Minneapolis, has
rendered a decision in a railroad case,
which is said to be the first of its KIND,
and which will go to the supreme court
to make Minnesota law. An employe
of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
Railway company, brought action
against the road for damages for
alleged personal injuries. The company
set up as a defense that 1t operated a
society, known as the Burlington Pro-
tective association. which was made
use of by it's employees. The members
of the society, upon joining, contracted
that they would use the benefit fund
of the society. but in case they did SO.
they would not bring an action for
damages. In other words, it allowed
the employe to elect whether he would
accept the benefits, or refuse them and
go to law against the company in case
of injury. Judge Jamison consequently
found for the defendant company.
