tories will be construed as evidence of
the personal popularity and influence of
the senator-elect. and be placed to his
credit on the ledger Of democracy; demo-
cratic defeats. on the other hand, will be
regarded as tangible proof that his Sc
lection as senator failed to strengthen
and unity his party and that II higher
rating can be given him abroad thar that
enjoyed at home.
1t is not unlikely thai the city election
in Butte, the home of Mr.. Clark, will ex-
cite more interest in political circles
throughout the United States than that
of any other municipality, inasnuch as
the late senatorial contest has riveted the
attention of all who are interested in
public affairs upon the state of Montana
Il it's distinguished men. Under the
circumstances therefore, it would seem
that the contest between the democrats,
under the leadership of Mr.. Clark and his
friends. and the republican party, for
supremacy in the home city Of the sem
ator-elect, is likely to be waged with un-
usual vigor.
The initial advantage will rest with
the democrats, inasmuch as the city is
now under democratic rule. and that
party is in control of the political ma
chinery that is usually operated to the
benefit Of The party in power. The record
of the democracy, however, is a strong
point in favor Of the republicans, pro-
vided party harmony prevails and good
judgment dominates their councils. The
battle promises to be one Of such far
reaching significance to all concerned in
the struggle for municipal control as to
excite universal interest at home and
abroad. To Mr.. Clark it will be a CON
test Of t~ranscendent Importance to
his personal influence in state and
national politics in 1900, while to the
republican party it will mean either a
long step in the direction of state control
two years hence or a confession of weak
ness it can i'll afford to make.

NO E BEEF.

General Eagan, who has been suspend
ed from the military service for six years
for calling General Miles a liar in an
guage unbecoming to a dude, will find a
great deal of personal satisfaction in the
fact that the war investigation commits
sion severely criticises the head n
shoulders of the army and finds that his
statements about embalmed beef are
''practically without foundation 1t will
deeply grieve the democracy to learn that
the ~"embalmed beef consisted wholly of
four quarters of a beef that were expert
mented with in a chemical way and then
thrown overheard.
General Miles and his bath tub afforded
the democratic press no end of hilarity
up to the time that ompous individual
made wal on the administration. He
then became a Moses in epaulettes to a
party that was trying to find fault with
the conduct of the war. But in trying to
prove the presence Of bad beef at Porto
Rico by thirteen official underlings who
were not on the island at all, and knew
nothing about it, General Miles made a
bad mess of it. Having lost his head on
the beef question. and disregarded the
partment to the detriment of the Ameri-
can army, the general is liable to find
himself involuntarily retired from COM
mand.
The commission also censures Secretary
Alger for not exhibiting more frmness in
the discharge of his military duties.
There can be no doubt that Alger's desire
to preserve peace among a lot Of jealous
hearted, pig-headed army dudes, led to
concessions of authority he never should
have made. Had he exhibited half the
austerity and frmness of the average
army ~potentate he would have ibeer

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The great battle at Manila. causing the
death of many of the brave American
soldier boys and the destruction Of thous-
ands Of misguided natives, is traceable
to the attitude Of the democracy on the
treaty Of peace with Spain. 1t now ap-
pears hat Aguinaldo was ready to make
terms with the government of the United
States when it became apparent that the
treaty would be ratified, as he realized
the hopelessness of waging wal against
the republic. That chieftain's nope
centage of the American people op-
posed the treaty and that congress
would fail to ratify it. In this belief he
held the insurgents in line ready to strike
a decisive blow for independence, and in
woke the aid of other powers, when the
United States were powerless to act.
Had the treaty been defeated his posi-
ton would have been an unique me-, yet
it would have commanded the attention
of the world and provoked intervention
from more directions than one. Pending
further negotiations with Spain On the
part of the United States, Aguinaldo
would have been in the position of an in
surgent ieade with the Spaniards driver
from the land, and under such conditions
no n could have questioned his right tc
assume tina his government had been es-
tablished. The sovereignty of Spain woult
have rested wholly in its technical pos,
session of the islands and would have
had no claim upon the protection of the
American government. But when Spair
transferred her rights to the United
; States, under the terms of a treaty tina
concluded a war in which her rulershil
of the Philippines was unquestioned, thu
status of the insurgents was changed
Their claim to independence had no valit
foundation.
Aguinaldo was not ignorant of thes'
facts, and clearly recognized his position
before the world as the leader of the in
s,,rcent forces. He was accordingly pre-
pared to seize an advantage by force o
arms if the treaty was defeated, and t
: make terms as favorable as possible |
ratified. The fight made against tn
treaty in this country inspired him wit
the belief that it would be defeated an
that he must be prepared to meet a
., emergency with force of arms If need be
and protect his country from an invader
Hence, the modelling of his forces a

MIR. CLARK'S LEADERSHIP.

The election of Mr.. W. A. Clark to the
senate of the United States places him
at the head of the democratic party in
this state. Not only has he been ac-
corded the highest post of honor and in
fuence within the gift Of his party, but
the bestowal of that position carries with
it the responsibilities of leadership. Dur
ing his term Of office the successes or
failures of the dominant party at the
polls will be placed to the credit of his
leadership, as practical politics go, or be
charged up against the wisdom of plac-
ing him in that position of responsibility
and trust. Whatever local causes inter-
vene to aid or injure that party in its
political struggles, the situation will be
measured by the general public from the
standpoint Of results. Hence, democratic
victories will add materially to the po-
litical standing Of Mr.. Clark abroad,
while democratic defeats will have the
opposite effect.
With his social and financial promi-
hence, and his wide acquaintance with
men eminent in the councils of his party,
Mr.. Clark is PROFESSIONALLY in line fol-

him to a broader field of effort, And i
