JOK ELS OF A BISHOP.
Lnyman and Ecc1esinstfc Were Both at
Hts Mercy.


| Many anecdotes were told of Bishon
Williams, Of Connecticut, after his
death, for the good bishop was as well
known for his love Of fun as for his
earnest piety.
At meeting of the bishops a meas
ure was proposed and explained by its
originator, but with such incoherence
that nobody understood it, A second
speaker essayed to make the matter
clear, but only darkened it, When he
had finished Bishop BENJAMIN Smith
of Kentucky, tried TO explain the ques-
ton, and also the explanations. Feel
ing that he had failed, he said:
Bishop Williams smiles What has
he to say about it?''
only this" said the old bishop, chat
the mess of Benjamin was found to be
greater than the mess OF any of his
brethren
1.-The humor of DR.. Williams" says a
friend, was always present and ready
like the lash of sunlight. 1t had one
popularity, it never scorched nor left
scar behind"
At an assemblage of noted men a
year or two ago a lawyer who conducts
the legal business of great railway
system tried to guy the parson" bv
malicious Guizzing. At last he said:
why don't you get these railway
managers to give you pass over their
roads, Bishop? You can pay for it by
giving them entrance tickets into heav-
en-
"Oh, no." gently replied the bishop.

1T is matter for congratulation that
the Associated Charities of Butte
has decided to give a fine Christmas
6inner on Christmas day to the poor
of the city. The members of the asso-
citation will meet this afternoon to
make arrangements for this dinner
At the opening Of the holiday season
there is every indication of a big trade
for the merchants and Of prosperous
times in Butte for all. Prospects new
er seemed brighter for Butte than they
are at present. The city is established
firmly on a permanent basis, wages are
high and work is plenty. It seems
likely to be a joyous Christmas season.
But the fact should not be lost sight
of that after all there are some poor in
Butte. That city fortunately has not
so large a proportion of the needy as
most cities have. but the city has it's
poor and to them it owes an obliga-
ton which should not be overlooked in
the festivities of the occasion. There
are many who cannot afford Christmas
dinners, there are many children who
are not likely to be remembered by
Santa Claus.
In the work which they have under
taken the ladies of the Associated
Charities should receive active and
hearty cooperation on the part of cit
izens generally. Those who can afford
should give of their plenty to help
brighten Christmas for those to whom
the day appears dark, to make merry
those who are looking forward to the
DAY with sadness and regret. A few
dollars donated in the proper channels
will make many happy people. There
should be Christmas dinners for all the
poor families and Christmas gifts for
all the poor children.

be that business has merely received

trary. But the great banks of the
world are all pressed for actual

obvious. The Rand supply of gold is
shut off. India is gathering in many
millions for the purpose of setting up
the gold standard. England is disbu:s-
ing considerable sums in South Africa.
and while this is going On business on
both sides of the Atlantic has expanded
to unprecedented proportions.
In fine, business has outrun the
money supply, credit, which rests upon
money, has received sharp check, and
we observe the results in reduced
clearings, high money rates and in
creased amounts involved IN business
failures.

1T is likely that one Of the first acts
of the new congress will be direct
ed to the relief of the widow of Cap
tain Gridley. Such relief should GER
tainly be granted without delay. The
nation has been generous to Admiral
Dewey; next to Dewey the credit for
the great victory at Manila harbor be-
longs to Captain Gridley, who fired the
first guns.
Captain Grdley was taken sick after
the battle and died at Yokohama on
his way home. Had he lived to return
to this country the ovation accorded
him would have been scarcely inferior
to that which was accorded to Dewey.
Mrs. Gridley receives a mere pittance
in the shape of a pension. and she is
compelled to take boarders in order to
support herself and her children.
The nation should take handsome
care OF Mrs. Gridley and her children.
In one mornings work the captain did
that for the country which entities his
family to treatment most generous
The nation cannot afford to be mig
gardly in it's treatment of the Gridleys.

Y ORRIBLE almost beyond con-
~ ception are the details which
! the dispatches bring of the
roasting alive of another negro in the
South. When the cutlery was made
few months ago from one end of the
country to the other against the terrible
outrage in Georgia it was thought that
the protest of the country would be
needed, and that if lynchings were not
entirely STOPPED, at least the horrible
tortures would not be repeated
But a burning at the stake has taken
place in Kentucky which in awful bar
barty has not yet been surpassed. The
negro, Who is reported to have con-
fessed his crime, was blinded by throw
ing vitriol and cayenne pepper into his
eyes, a rope was placed around his
neck, he was dragged through the prin-
cipal streets of the town until he was
nearly strangled, thfn he was tied to a
was roasted to death. He died slowly,
writing in horrible agony, hooted at
by the mob.
In this case it is stated that the Off
GERS were powerless to prevent the tor
ture and that citizens of all classes and
colors participated in the brutal crime.
1t may we'll be doubted whether the
colored people participated in the af-
fair, for cases have recently been
known where the feeling against the
blacks rose so high that negroes who
ventured to be in sight were themselves
made victims by the mob, reused as it
was to a fever heat Of passion. 1t is to
be noticed that the officials are always
powerless to prevent these torturings
II is doubtful if they have ever yet
succeeded in preventing one of these
! outrages. 1t would seem that a few
| determined officials with rifles, if they
really wished to do their duty and up
hold the dignity Of the law, would
leave few marks in the mob. But the
negro prisoners seem to be uniformly
wrested from the officers without a shot
| being fired.
| No one can have sympathy for miser-
| able, iascivious brutes such as Cole
man is reported to have been. If guilty
| he surely deserved the death penalty
| But the manner of his death is dis
| creditable to Kentucky, disgraceful tt
| the South, blight on the United States
| and on civilization. Such crime coulG
| hardly be perpetrated anywhere else or
| earth in this age.

No Defenders Needed.

n 20 one is surprised that defend
M els" Of Governor Smiths action
' in signing the protest against
the seating of w. A. Clark in the
United States senate cannot be found
In the Clark press. 1t Is the policy of
the various Clark newspapers to con-
denim every action or movement which
might tend to throw light on the brib-
cry case, to obstruct investigation Of
the senatorial crime in every way posi-
BILE, and to condone and excuse every
action of the accused senator or his ad-
herents which might appear shady.
If Governor Smith needed any de-
tenders of the action which he has
taken, he would surely not expect a
defense from the Clark press nor would
he seek it from that source The Clark
newspapers are busy enough defending
mir. Clark and they seem likely to be
kept busy in that direction for some
time yet.
But the marvel is that the Clark
press should become so suddenly solicit
Gus about the governors welfare Those
newspapers profess to be fearful lest
the governor will have mo defenders"
of his action. 1t has not yet been learn
ed that the governor is asking for any
defense or that he wants any. His &C
ton speaks for itself He became sat
isfied that Mr.. Clark had been elected
to the senate through the preparation
of crime and, as d true official of the
state. representing the people of the
state, he entered a protest against the
seating of Mr.. Clark under such Cir
cumstances. There was nothing cow
ardly or uuderEanded about his action
in fact. in view OF the snarlings and
vituperations of Clarks newspapers, a
less courageous man might have been
frightened Off. But the governor was
not built that way. He did his duty by
the people of Montana. By protesting
against the states greatest crime, he
placed the state in a position where it
cannot be said that Montana Furnishes
the lesser criminals and lets the big
ones go
Criticism is made Of the manner in
which the protest was presented to the
senate. 1t is noticeable that the same
newspapers which are criticising the
