The methods of prison treatment applied
to the Irish political prisoners recently re-
leased by the British government must
stand In comparison with the exceedingly
mild sentences given to DR.. Jameson and
his fellow freebooters, whose offense lacked
in its claim for popular sympathy even the
sometimes questionable excuse of patriot
ism. According to the last reports the
Crown Is making the servitude of these
would-be destroyers Of Dom Paurs rem
nant Of autonomy a luxury when COM
pared With the penal experiences Of the
Irishmen Low emerging from prison in
ptiable states of body and mind. 1t Is sug-
&c ested that the government planned to re-
lease the prisoners from Portland at this
time as sort of sacrifice On its part. in
tended to justify the treatment Of the
Transvaal trespassers. If this be so the
design was hardly wise one, for the
sentiment both in England and abroad
seems to be that there has been an afro
cious lack of harmony in the workings of
the British mill of justice.

but he met the occasion with courage and
consistency. He would not exempt coal
from the operations Of the reduced duties
of his bill, and coal. by his vote Joined to
the votes Of the other democratic members
of the committee, sustained q cut.
Courageous and consistent as Mr.. Wilson
by this act showed himself to be, he. how
ever. paid severe penalty for 1t. His people
repudiated him at the next election by a
large majority. His vote on coal alone
converted democratic majority Of eleven
hundred in the district into republican
majority Of twenty-one hundred. In fact
the state went overwhelmingly republican
as protest against the Wilson bill. sending
four republicans to the House, and dis
placing Mr.. Camden in the Senate with Mr..
Elkins. The people of the state took a
practical view Of the tariff question. and
feeling that protection had been of benef1t
in the development Of their property they
rejected those who had voted in Congress
against protection.
Now 1t SO happens that Mr.. Bryan, as q
member Of the committee that drew the
Wilson bill, was one OF Mr.. Wilson's lieu
tenants, and voted as Mr.. Wilson himself
did for the cut on coal. He was in favor,
indeed. of putting coal on the free list.
VIII this enter into the calculations In
West Virginia in November? Will the
people Of that state indorse him after re-
fusing Endorsement to Mr.. Wilson?
The republicans think that the sending
Of Mr.. Bryan through West Virginia, handi-
capped with such record, is another
mistake on the part Of the democratic
managers

A Danger That Threatens.

The lesson taught by the storm which
disturbed Washington last night touches
mainly Upon the electric wire problem.
Washington buildings are, as a rule, very
sClidly constructed, so 1t Is safe to believe
that the casualties which have taken place
were Lot in any sense the result of care
lessress- To build more heavily than Is
the local custom would hardly be reason
able. in view of the general immunity from
hurricanes enjoyed hereabouts. But 1t Is
most difficult to make anything like ra-
tioI-al excuse for the paralysis which has
afflicted telegraphic and telephone COM
murication within the city's limits. Time
and time again has the attention of the
responsible authorities been directed to
the dangers and uncertainties that are con-
nitants of the overhead method of wir-
ing, yet each succeeding gale finds ample
material upon which to vent It's fury. Last
nights experiences were terrifying to thou
rds who had no thought save as to the
poss Utilities of their homes being wrecked
by the tornado, yet there was an unseen
darger which was greater than that of
structural collapse
Throughout all the city electrical COM
munication with engine houses and police
stations was completely cut off; a blaze
that under ordinary circumstances would
not amount to anything could have swal-
lowed up a dozen houses before the fire de-
partrnent would know anything of the con-
hagration. And that is the condition today,
and will be the condition-to a greater or
less extent-tor several days to come. he
seriousness of the situation must surely be
apparent to every reasoning Individual. All
told, the wreckage resulting from the
storm does not foot up more than about
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Failure to start in promptly on the ex-
tinguishing of one fire might easily cause a
much greater loss than that; with several
fres-and they are always probable-the
chances of tremendous sacrifices are multi
piled many times.
Two years ago the superintendent of the
District fire alarm and telegraph service,
in his annual report to the Commissioners,
called attention to his repeated recommen-
dations in favor of putting all municipal
wires underground. and at the same time
intimated his weariness because Of the de-
lay in the work of reform. Will his reason
able request receive any more of considera-
ton next winter than has heretofore been
accorded it?

Protection for West yirginias Com

Mr. Bryan is journeying in a state today
where In past campaigns the tarn has cut
an important figure. West Virginia has
been described as one vast coal mine Mil
lions of dollars are invested In mines and
rndeveloped coal lands there, and protec-
tion has been popular cry. Both parties
have used it with effect. Ex-Senators
Davis and Camden. good democrats, no less
than Senator Elkins. good republican
have conjured with 1t in their appeals to
the people. Coal was the prime considera-
tion. and the state, through her representa-
tives of either party, has stood upon the
principle of reciprocity with her sister
states Her motto seemed to be, The duty
/ to others vote, that duty vote to me-"
MIR. w. l.. Wilson was the first West
Virginia leader in Congress to carry his
advocacy of a low tariff far enough to
include coal He had made several cam
paisns ON the general proposition Of a low
tariff, but when he was appointed chairman
of ways and means in the Fffty-third Con-
gress he was called upon to go into details
in the preparation of a tariff bill, and coal
confronted him He knew the feeling in his
state on the subject, and that his political
fortunes wore involved to a great extent

Mr. Mckinley and Silver.

The silver men will be able to make no
capital out of the letter dated in Septem-
Der, 1890. in which Mr.. Mckinley expresses
sentiments friendly to silver. He was writ
ing in Endorsement of the action of the Fif-
ty-firSt Congress. then in session, in pass
ing the Sherman act. and in doing that he
vas ycicing the views of the republican
party. east and west. The Sherman act
was party measure. confessedly conceived
and put upon the books in the interests Of
silver. 1t was the redemption of the
party's promise made in the campaign of
ISIS. and it was intended to emphasize the
sincerity of the republican profession of
Friendship for the white metal. Mr. Nc
hirley, therefore, was in the best of party
company. Thomas B. Reed. then presiding
over the House. and Levi P. Morton. then
presiding over the Senate. were both in
favor of the Sherman act. as was also
Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado.
The Sherman act failed of it's object Pro-
vision for the output of the American
mines proved to be inadequate to sustain
silver. which. despite the heavy purchases
for the governments account, continued to
fall in value. A rev policy of some kind
became necessary. Neither the friends nor
the opponents of silver were satisfied with
the situation at the end of three years.
Mr.. Cleveland. who had returned to office
the previous March, proposed, in August,
1895. repeal Of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act as the first step toward a
new policy. The republicans in Congress
supported him. Mr.. Mckinley was then
governor of Ohio. but had he been in Con-
gress. he would doubtless have voted with
his party. The extreme silver men resisted
repeal and insisted that no new legislation
should be attempted which did not provide
for the free and unlimited coinage of silver
The question presented today Is very
much the same question that was presented
then The men who are supporting Mr..
Bryan are urging the opening of the mints
of the country to the silver Of the world
without regard to the action of other ma
tons. That is their only solution of the
silver problem. The men who are support
ing MIR. Mckinley. and Mr.. Mckinley him
self. are opposed to free coinage, except by
international agreement. Admonished by
the failure of their effort to provide for the
American output, they cannot see how this
country could manage the silver output of
the whole world singiehanded MIR. Nc
kinley's letter shows that he was opposed
In September, 1890. to unlimited free COIN
age by the United States alone, and that ia

I've got more work to do than can at
tend to in a week, and everybody wants 1t
done before noon today"
Il just want to say word about silver
"Well. There's no use of talking about
that. Silver is not in it. and neither Is

and they want it in hurry

NEW YORK STOCK MARK, I

New York, Jan. 16.-The principal
topic of discussion on Wall street to-
day was the Treasury circular an
nouncing modification of the terms
of payment for the impending issue
of government bonds. The change adj
mits of the payment of the 50 per cent.
remaining, after the 20 per cent re-
quired to be deposited on the accept
ance OF the bid, in installments of 10
per cent. at intervals of fifteen instead
of ten days, as previously called for.
This spreads the entire payment over
a period of 120 days instead of 40 days
and greatly lessons the danger of a
critical disturbance OF the money mar
ket.
To-day's stock market was quiet,
and the movement of prices uninter-
esting, aside from the vagaries of some
Of the industrial shares. The opening
though dull, was at general advances,
partly inspired by improvement in the
prices of the so-called international
American shares. In the early deal
ings advances OF about a point were
scored by sugar, Chicago Gas and
leather preferred mainly on covering
of shorts The market soon deyel-
oped sagging tendency. partly on u
suspension of extensive shipments of
gold 10y Saturdays steamers and part
ly on moderate selling, traced TO rep
resentatiye foreign banking houses.
The failure of an old established and
highly reputed sugar concern had
some unfayorable effect. Sugar stock
slumped " per cent. and tobacco
broke 2Hs per cent. to 77as. The latter
depression was yariously ascribed to a
reported important failure in the trade
in this city and to the news of "a combi-
nation of Southern tobacco manufac-
tuners The last development was
considered TO foreshadow trouble for
the American Tobacco Company. Late
in the day the declining tendency of
the market was checked. The market
closed firm on an increased volume of
business.
Bonds ruled higher on moderate
dealings. The Hooking Valley issues
were the features, the SIS rising 3 and
