been zealously advertised by those who
are presumed to speak by the card.
The facts about the Clark barrel are
so fiagrantiy true that in the places
where the politicians representing the
Clark ticket resort, the political dis
cussion" uniformly drifts into specu
lation whether this heller or that N
is getting the larger share OF the swag.
The patriots already on the pay roll
make no bones of saying that the stun
is on tap his year. with a showing Of
generosity hat leaves no grounds for
criticism. unless a mans a hog"-so
said one Of the pushers yesterday who
has had his'n" and who was setting
IT up.
The Miner is doing what II can to
fix the public eye on the advent of the
flow Of gold. That newspaper
ages the popular belief that there's
Clark's money In II. Early this week
IL transpired hat not all the populis.s
got in with the original syndicate.
Doubtless some of them will refuse to
the end to be purchased-these are
sincere men. There was a pop meet
ing Thursday night to consider the
nominating Of a real pop ticket; Friday
morning. willing and ready to raise
the bid, the Miner announced that the
time has arrived in which to take ac-
count of the middle barrel pop
ulists."
All pops look alike to the general
public. the Miners | ne distinctions are
not easily grasped by the average
newspaper reader. But a middle-of-
the-barrel Clark pop; gee whiz. what
a graft; they are money out Of pocket
who caught on too quick. And the
man with his eye on his share OF the
Clark money al well afford to wait,
ever at the cost Of present-moment in
convenience or anxiety. w. A. Clark

Marshall meeting held Thursday
night in Butte. the Miner quotes re-
marks made by Mr.. Carter to the effect
that the silver dollar is n ifty-cent dol
lar: IL prints Carriers prattle about the
splendid tide Of prosperity that was
ushered In with the goldbug Mckinley
administration: II credits him with the
assertion that the democratic party was
responsible for the Coxey army. As
the Miner reports them, Carriers OPEN
ing words were: II am glad 10 be in
Butte tonight TO witness the grand
reception 10 the republican candidate

Prominent among the citizens OF
Butte who had places on the platform

being that Marcus Daily is building a

ton is too one-sided to be enter
tanning. There was nothing the mat
ter with the war departments Santi-
ago operations, the way the most Of
the witnesses tell II.
Hunger and sickness and distress
and want and lack of hospital supplies
and neglect OF the dying were the
usual order. to be sure-the witnesses
do not deny that. But practically with
one accord they claim that that's war;
the drift OF the testimony aims to sup
port the defense set UP by Secretary
Alger who insists that the carelessness
and stupidity of the volunteers was to
blame for their sufferings. II has been
shown by the records that volunteers
were a small contingent in the army
before Santiago. In large proportion
the force was made up Of regular-army
regiments. Seasoned soldiers long in
the service are chiefly those whose
complaints the public has heard.
One little side light was thrown on
the Alger management during Thurs
days hearing before the w%hitewash
commission That was introduced
through the reading OF official docu-
ments which revealed the fact that
Secretary Alger studlously avoided the
suggestions of General Miles, the head
OF the army. with reference to the
movement against Santiago and. en-
orally. in all matters bearing on the
campaigns against Cuba and Porto
Rico.
In fact. Secretary Alger o special
pains to keep General Miles on the wait
ing list by ordering at the outset of
the operations near Santiago that, in
the event OF General Skaters inabil-
ity to be in the saddle, because of sick
ness or otherwise. the command should
devolve upon General Wheeler. The
contrast between the soldierly opera
tions OF Miles, on Porto Rico, and
Skaters brutal bungling at Santiago.

General Miles Speaks Out.

From the Kansas City Star.
General Miles. with the fine moral cour-
age he has shown throughout the war.
at the Algerine theory that the
prostration of thousands of stalwart SOL
dierS by the fever was due to beer and
watermelons. and that all Of the voiun-
teers might have been kept out of the
pest houses called hospitals by ~abstaining
from cookies and pies. 1t Is comforting to
know that the general commander Of the
army Is bound to tell the truth about II,
and IL that is treason the administration
will have to make the best Of II.

From the Kansas City Times.
General Miles position is for truth. JUS
tice and honesty. Alger's position Is for
political advantage for the administration.
General Miles not only exposes the tricks
of the secretary. but Grams them down
his throat with no gentle hand. In this
matter the people are with the commander
of the army. while the president. all fed
eral officeholders and the leaders Of the
republican party are with Alger. The peo-
pie are ready to Measure strength with
him.
