70 CORRUPT MONTANA.
The Latest Plot Hatched by Harrison m
His Vile Managers.

The Latest Plot Hatched by Harrison and
His Vile Managers
So the Dudley and Quay methods
are to be adopted in the fall to de-
bauch Montana and win it away from
the Democratic party. The political
signs in the new State have consider
ably alarmed the President and he has
intimated to Matt Quay that Montana
must be looked after; in other words,
the blocks of five and other methods
must be put in force to prevent three
more Democrats from being sent to
Congress It is said that the Presi-
dent and his manager have outlined q
plan of action calculated to save the
new State to the Republicans 1t Is
not known how much of the fiat OF
last years campaign remains in the
hands of the Republican National
Committee, but whatever it is, it will
be devo ted to the purchase of votes in
Montana. Should the amount not be
sufficient, Sunday-School Wanamaker
may be called on again to help the
cause of corruption. It is hardly pos
sible that the rascality of last fall can
be repeated this year in any part of
the country with success, and that
Mon tana should signalize its entry in
to the slsterhood of States by submit
ting to be branded in such foul man.
ner. Harrison and Quay may plot as
they will and regard American voters
as purchasa5le and in the market for
the highest bidder. They will find
themselves confronted by an indignant
public opinion, which will render their
Ubiquitous designs futile.
The people of Montana will not al.
low themselves to be defrauded of
their choice of Congressman. as the
Nation was of its choice of President
by purchased votes, for they have been
warned by the lesson of the last cleo
ton. If the notorious Dudley attempts
to employ his vile arts in the new
State he will meet with far differ
ent rece ption from that his agents ex-
perienced in Indiana. They have a
very expeditions way of disposing of
obnoxious characters in the far West.
There is no Judge Woods in Montana
to screen Dudley, but a Gel tain Judge
Lynch, who IS very prompt and effect
ual in his methods. This execrable
plot against a new State is befitting an
Administration that obtained control Of
the Government by bribery and cor
ruption, and is ready, at all times, to
pro stitute the functions of the Govern
ment to gain votes. 1t is rather too
early, however, to try again the foul
methods that made Republican success
possible. The public mind is still
awake to the enormity of the crimes
committed against the most sacred
rights of the American citizen. and
the new conspiracy of Harrison and
Quay against the ballot-box in Mon
tana will, likely, lead to serious
trouble for the Administration. Al

THE BERLIN CONFERENCE.
Sober Second Thoughts Suggested by tn
HowIs of the lingo Organs.

Sober Second Thoughts Suggested by the
HowIs of the lingo Organs.
Mr.. Phelps. one of the commission
ers who negotiated the Samoan treaty,
by which, if we may trust the news
paper correspondents, Germany, En-
gland and America undertake to regu-
late affairs in Samoa, has returned to
America with copy of the treaty in q
yellow bag.
The Senate of the United States will
be asked to ratify this agreement, or
whatever it is called. and. until it is
made public. all discussion of specific
prov isions is premature.
But If we are to believe the boasts
of the Republican organs. if we are
properly to interpret English praise of
American Jingoism. the Samoan treaty
is wide departure for American dip
lomacy.
From the inception of the contro-
versy it has been evident that Ger
many was ready to respect American
rights in Samoa when our case was
properly presented. Secretary Bayard
plainly stated the claims and CON-
plants of America and American citi-
zens. If Mr.. Blaine's commissioners
have simply adhered to MIR. Bayard' 8
case all will be we'll.
But, from the utterances in the
lingo press. it seems they have gone
beyond this. and have formed an alli-
ance with England and Germany for
the government of Samoa. just as
Spain. France and Germany once
formed an alliance, treaty or agree
ment for the proper government of
Mexico.
What is Samoa to us or we to Samoa,
that we should depart from the prin-
ciple laid down by Washington In his
farewell address, and adhered to with
adm irable consistency from that time
until now? Is Blaine a greater states
man, more thorough American. a
more skillful diplomatist than Wash
ington?
Observe good faith and justice
toward nations. Cultivate peace and
harmony with ALL" said Washing
ton; and he added: Europe must be
engaged in frequent controversies, the
causes of which are essentially for
eign to our concerns. Hence, there
fore, it must be unwise in us to i'm
plicate ourselves by artificial ties in
the ordinary vicissitudes of her poll
tics, or the ordinary combinations
and collisions of her friendships or
enmities.
"Our detached and distant situation
invites us to pursue a different course.
If we remain one people, under an
efficient government, the period is not
far distant when we may defy mate
rial injury from external annoyance;
when we take such an attitude as will
cause the neutrality we may at any
time resolve upon to be scrupulously
respected; when belligerent nations,
under the impossibility of making
acquisitions upon US, will not lightly
hazard the giving us provocation;
when we may choose peace or war, as
our interest, guided by justice, shall
counsel"
These are words of wisdom, OF
sound and prudent judgment, of
firmness and patriotism, and by these
instructions must the Samoan treaty
be judged. Courier-J our
nal.

well. I'll tell you the story. 1t is
nothing but a tradition among watch
makers, but the custom has always
been preserved. You may or you
may not know that the first clock that
in any way resembled those now in
use was made by Henry Wick, in 1870.
He made it for Charles V. of France,
who has been called The Wise
Now, Charles was wise in good
many ways. He was wise enough to
recover from England most of the land
which Edward III. had conquered. and
he did good many other things which
benefited France. But his early edu-
cation had been somewhat neglected,
and he probably would have had trouble
In passing a civil-service examination
in these enlightened ages. Still he had
a reputation for wisdom, and thought
that 1t was necessary, in order to keep
1t up, that he should also be supposed
to possess book learning. The latter
was subject he was extremely touchy
about.
$50 the story runs in this fashion,
although l will not vouch for the Ian
guage. but put it in that of the present
day:
Yes, the clock works WE'LL said
Charles, but being anxious to find
some fault with a thing he did not I'M

aithfully followed. Toledo Blade.
