paragraph which certainly is original
with W. A. Clark, the proofs of au-
thenticity revealing themselves in a
sentence in which, after referring to
the fact that we paid for the Philip
pines and still have them to subdue.
he remarked: Paying for goods be-
fore delivery, in my opinion, is very bad
business"
That remark undoubtedly is Clark
own It is the teaching of his political
experience. The testimony brought out
in Helena was that w. A. Clark was
willing to pay, but there must first be
the proper delivery of votes. The thir-
ty thousand dollars of Clark money now
in the Montana state treasury is money
which he had intended to hold in sena-
toral escrow. Ii was the proposed pur-
chase price of votes, but the dcker
was, in every instance, to the effect
that the vote must be cast and repeated
to the finish before the money was to
have passed absolutely out of the bribe-
giver's reach.
o In this instance, w. A. Clark. except
as to the thirty thousand dollars in
question, was safe-there We're plenty
of dishonest men in the Montana legis-
lature who were willing to be bribed
for keeps

The Same Old Story.

IN this country all embalmed-b
roads lead one way-their goal is a
whitewash for Secretary Ayers
War-department management. 1t is
possible for people in the administration
circle SO to manipulate the case that
the conclusions reached, however mon
strous in their departure from the
truth, shall be an official vindication of
Alger.
The verdict brought in by the first
commission that investigated war scam
dals was so partisan as to be ridiculous
the public scoffed at it. AS the re-
suit of that commissions work, it was
made to appear that the war depart
ment's record was about the finest
thing, the most praiseworthy, the most
careful and the most honest known in
the annals of military operations in
times ancient or modern.
Of course, the whitewash applied by
stick. At any rate, the charges about
the beef stuck up like sore thumb,
and the second investigation, which
was limited to the beef question, has
been running on until the public, long
ago convinced that General Miles
charges We're sustained, wearied of the
whole affair. The report of this beef
commission will square Ayers record
and shelter the army contractors
there will be no doubt about that part
of it. We are learning, for that matter,
that in the history of food there never
was anything quite SO wholesome and
excellent as the Alger beef. The pub
lie will not accept the verdict; very
few of the newspapers will say that it
is in accordance with the ascertained
facts, but, we may anticipate a revival
of that stale talk about Ayers resig-
nation.
Mr.. Alger has insisted that he can
not retire from the cabinet while he is
under fire-although the whole of his
military experience deals with the times
when Alger ran away to avoid getting
under fire. 1t may be that the "vindi-
cation which the latest commission
brings him will lead Mr.. Alger to con-
clude that he can now afford to get out
Of the cabinet If that follows, there
will be some little gain, at least, for the
r,,h1ir

NOTORIOUS SNEAK THIEVES.
Annie Jones and Hattie Brown Caught
 by the Police.

Annie Jones and Hattie Brown, two mo- torlous sneak thieves, were yesterday ar rested by Officers Disheroon and Reese. The two negro girls were arrested ill a house in Avenue G, South, and a large amount of stolen property was found in their possession. They had stolen nearly every kind of article mentionable Among the stolen property was found woman's hat, one shirt waist, two bracelets, two umbrellas, a tin basin and baby trunk full of dolls and doll paraphernalia.
 On being arrested the women confessed to all their thefts. The hat and shirt waist had been stolen from the residence of MT. Peace, the doll clothes from the home of Attorney Horace, and the two bracelets were the property of Mrs. Judge Head. The two women gave the following as their manner of stealing:
 They would go to the back door of a residence and one would go in and ask for employment, while the other would take what she could while no one was looking. The one on the inside would also wait un- til the lady of the house went out and then she would purloin anything that she could conveniently carry away. On one occasion the two girls wanted to have a Sunday dinner and went out in search of the food. They visited several residences early that morning, and from refrigerators in the back verandas of the houses stole three dozen eggs, one-hal gallon of milk and two pounds of butter. Most of the other stolen property is still at the police station and will be returned to the owners.
