Mclaughlin, Of Butte, Gets Fifteen Years
for Robbery.
BUTTE, May 20.-[Special.] Tho case
against John Mclaughlin, which has been
attracting great deal of attention here,
came to an end in the district court to-day,
the defendant being sent to the penitentiary
to serve fifteen years. The evidence showed
that Mclaughlin learned of his friend Will
liam Murphy having $500 and being wanted
by the police for beating his wife. He
offered his services TO assist Murphy in es-
Gaping from the officers, and while in Sill
yer Bow, with the aid of an accomplice, who
personated deputy sheriff, knocked Muir
ply down and robbed him Of $25, all they
could find. The sentence was the moro 70
we're because of the wild swearing in which
Mclaughlin indulged in trying to clear
himself, and because Of his having
usurped the functions of an officer to aid in
the robbery. He received his sentence with
the same stolid indifference that has marked
his conduct throughout the trial.

that there Was rain the night Of tie 'th. and u

SUSPECTED our correspondents ability as
a weather prophet when We read in his letter
predicting q storm for the 9TH that he ioretold
the great March blizzard. So many men have
prcdctcd the great March blizzard since It was
all over, their number constantly increases, and
we fear that II will not be- many years before Il

will be looked on in the light Of a curiosity
This faculty of the human mind has been not IN
aptly called hindsight, aud there is nothing more
common.
We suppose that the men who foretod the
great blizzard may bc divided into two classes,
namely: Hardened liars, who had put on their
summer fanucls at the time and mad no
more thought of "a blizzard than they had of an
carthquakc. and unconscious liars who said u
day or two before that it. looked like n storm, and
have since lullcd their conscience TO sleep and
made themselves believe that they did actually
iorctcl the great storm. The people of Manhattan
Island are still ready TO bow down to the man
who can prove that before the March disturbance
hc predicted storm which would drift the snow
over the elevated roads and drive the tramps ont
Of City Hall Park. We suspect that after the
inundaton in which Noah figured had 1t
not been for It's extreme fatalness scores OF men
would have come forward and. on the strength
Of having remarked to their wives that il looked
like rain have claimed that they forctold the
whole thing. We only say to our correspond
ent: Try again, but don't claim too much for
your March-blizzard prediction.

EErCLEANING BY CONTRACT


Commissioner Loomis announces that he is
going to clean the streets by contract. This
declaration has pleasantly decisive sound and
would be welcome for that reason II Tor no
other. There is not much doubt, however, that
the contract system offers the only chance OF
getting the work accomplished 1t is pos
sible thing to hold contractors rigidly to their
agreements, though this municipality has sell
dom done or cared to do Furthermore
there are fewer opportunities for cheating with
out danger of detection in street-cleanlng work
than in most public operations, Every citizen
with eyes in his head is an unofficial ana I'M
paid inspector, and it will do a contractor no
good to put his hand on his heart and swear
that the city is clean when the people are told
by at least three of their five senses that it is
filthy. Mr. LOOMS has been criticised severely
for not effecting a revolution during his brief
term of Office. 1t is quite true that the situa-
ton has not materially improved, but con-
siderable time was necessary for an lnYeSuSa-
ton of the department, It's employees, tools ana
methods If the Commissioner has reached u
firm conviction that great task cannot be ac-
complished by shiftleSS gangs OF political
Migrants who imagine that the city owes them
a living as a part of the rumhole vote, he has
not spent the first month of his term in vain.
The cooperation of other branches OF the
city government will be valuable aid TO the
Street Cleaning Department 50 long as it lasts.
Being a persona grata 10 the Mayor and his
hackers. Mr. LOOMS will be able. for time az
least. to invoke the assistance OF the police and
the courts: indeed, the police have already re-
Ceiyed instructions to prevent too conspicuous
violation OF the ordinances, and two Or three
astonishcd individuals have been fined for
doing what they have done all their lives with
out objection. 1t cannot be forgotten that
when the Police Department itself was re-
sponsible for the care of tho streets their con-
dition was exceptionally bad; but that was
due. in part, to the fact that a majority OF the
people did not know what the streets ought to
look like and what they had right to ask
for, though they finally became aware that the
existing administration was intOlerable. The
hopeful feature of tho present situation is that
a public sentiment has finally been developed
in favor of cleanliness. This sentiment will
be Mr.. LOOmiSS strongest ally if he is in
earnest, and his most destructive critic if he
plays any of the oldiashioned tricks. Perhaps
he hasn't money enough. If he succeeds in
proving this by eXhausting the Appropriation
in work which the people sec is honestly done
he will get larger sum without trouble. But
the evidence must amount to perfect dcmOn-
stration.
