The Bluff Called,

From the Philadelphia Record
bright young man with a future,
whose career had been a complete sue
cess, recently was brought to a keen
realization of the fact that he is a mere
unit in the sum total of human exist
ence; and also that a little bluffing
is dangerous thing at times. This
self-same youth at present is willing
to accept any position requiring close
application to business, a high order
of intelligence, and a meek, uncom-
planning spirit at a moderate salary
He was working for an old established
firm and had been employed by the
concern upwards of a year, fulfilling
his duties to the entire satisfaction of
his superiors. The manager smiled
cordially when he met him, and ad-
dressed him Familiarity by his given
name. Altogether this young man felt
secure in his position. On the morning
before Christmas he walked into the
managers office, and self-confident of
his necessity, asserted: II wanted to
tell you l intend to leave you the first
of the year." The manager seemed sur
prised and expressed his regret. The
youth insisted that he was getting 81
a week less than the other man in the
office, and unless he received a raise he
would have to quit the first of the
year ooh, no, you won't do that" said
the man of affairs, thrusting his thumb
into an armhole of his waistcoat and
smiling in his genial and benevolent
way. The boy said he had quite made
up his mind. Yes, but you won't quit
the first of the year; you'll quit right
here and writing an order to the
: cashier the manager handed the order
for the young mans wages to him and
bade him good-day.

HIS METHODS ABHORRENT.
A Citizen Characterizes Clark's Cam
paign as Detestable.

To the Editor Anaconda Standard:
When one reads the Helena newspapers
one would be led to believe that the public
sentiment in Helena is overwhelmingly
in favor of w. A. Clark for United States
senator. This is not the case. I have
made it my business to ascertain the
views of a number of intelligent promi
nent citizens. men whom. l may say are
leaders of the democratic party. All of
them spoke Indignantly of the dsgraceful
methods adopted in the Clark campaign.
The newspaper called the Herald, one of
on the wrong side of every question when
there was Doodle in sight. The stand that
newspaper took on the water question is
only one instance among many. The In
dependent of course. being owned by
Clark, must publish anything Clarks
manager sees fit to have printed. That is
natural. The honest and conservative ele-
ment in Helena abhors the idea of selling
its honorable dignity to the highest bid
der. 1t hates. detests and loathes the idea
of comforting the highest honor of the
state upon the lowest of its citizens.
So long as there is an honest democrat
in Montana, Clark should not be elected
to the United States senate. If we cannot
elect Conrad. let us endeavor to unite on
any decent democrat of Montana. Yours
truly A DEMOCRAT

WESTERN PRODUCTS
IN PHILADELPHIA
NATIONAL COMMERCIAL MUSE
UM'S OBJECTS.
A Branch to Be Established in This
City-Benefts to CALIFORNIA;
Many Industries.

The Philadelphia Commercial Museum
is branching out in all directions to in
crease the commerce of the United States,
and San Francisco is receiving not little
attention at the hands of it's manage
ment.
The name of the Philadelphia institu-
ton is misleading, as it is a national COM
mercial museum instead of its interests
being confined to the City of Brotherly
Love alone. The aim, as has been stated.
is to gather information useful to bust
ness men and industrial bodies from all
parts of the world as to the conditions of
trade, crops, money matters, etc Bull
letins will be sent to all member bodies.
Besides this the managers of the museum
propose to gather one of the finest ex-
hibits of natural and manufactured
products of the United States that has
ever been assembled.
AS. the museum is being extensively adj
vertised in all parts of the world, and
especially in the Central and South Amer
lean countries, buyers from those parts
will naturally regard ii as the head
quarters of information when making
purchases. California has already taken
steps through its several commercial and
industrial bodies to affiliate with the mu-
scum. That the Western coast is being
looked 10 as one of the great producing
sections of the United States is shown by
the following letter received yesterday by
the Merchants Association, which is one
of the Western members.
We have your letter of December 81, with
accompanying copies of the Merchants Review,
which contains account of this institution.
We appreciate the way in which you have
presented the work to the business men of
California and shall be very glad to assist
them in any way possible TO build up the export
business which certainly awaits them in many
foreign markets.
Due note has been taken of your suggestion
that this institution might locate a branch bu-
reau of Information in San Francisco with
special reference to the markets OF the west
coast of South America, Oceanica, Asia and
Australia This is a suggestion which has al
ready received our careful consideration and
which we would be glad to carry into effect at
such time might seem most opportune
Meantime the practical suggestions of your
business would be appreciated. and it might
be of some service in this direction II a COM
mittee representing Californian interests were
TO inspect this institution and to determine
along just what lines its work may be made
more useful TO the industrial and commercial
interests of the Pacific Coast. We appreciate
the suggestion and shall certainly not fail to
consult your association when the time for &C
ton arrives. Respectfully

Scum

THIRTEEN A MONTH
AND GARRISON DUTY
NOT ALLURING TO THE MEN
OF THE EIGHTH REGIMENT.
They Object to the Statement That
Nine-Tenths of Them Want
to Stay.

The men of the Eighth Regiment are
suffering from a revolution of feeling
Scarcely had the cheer which greeted the
order to muster them out died away when
another order arrived postponing the mus
tering out, because it had been reported
to headquarters that the men want TO
stay.
'Stay-on $18 a month and garrison
duty%' is the only answer the men make
TO this statement of their feelings.
A poll of Company + and Company A
morning, and from one there were five
and from the other nine men who pre-
ferred barracks and tents TO home. At
Benicia and at the Preside it was the
same. Yet the report that nine-tenths
of the men wanted to remain in service
was sent on TO Washington by Colonel
Henshaw.
The Eighth has never been a kicking
regiment. 1t enlisted for service, but
raised no protest when garrison duty was
all that fell TO its lot, and when other
younger, smaller, more poorly Quipped
and more political regiments came and
has been no disSenSiOn in the regiment
and the work assigned to it has been done
well. The men declare they do not want
TO be placed in the position of debating
any order issued or of Directing to the
actions of higher authority, but they do
not want to stay in service, and they do
not want that order mastering them out
recalled. 1t was welcomed with cheers
when it came and its suspension has
caused the first murmur which has arisen
from the ranks of the regiment.

"LEFTY" BANNON AS
POLICE COURT JANIT0R
JUDGE CONLAN REFUSES TO AL
Low HIM IN HIS ROOM.
He Expresses the Fear That Every.
thing Portable in the Court
Will Be Pawned.

Judge Conlan was amazed yesterday
when he learned that the janitor assigned
to his courtroom was the notorious VIII
liam Bannon, better known as Lefty
from the effective blows he could deliver
upon a drunken opponent with his left
hand.
The Judge IN open court instructed
Bailiff Kelly not to deliver the keys of
the courtroom to Bannon and to get a
"trusty'' from the City Prison to do the
work.
II know Bannon too we'll" said the
Judge, land 1 don't want to get search
warrants to recover the property in the
court and in my chambers from pawn
shons. I have had him in my court time
and again and he Is too dangerous a
character for me to have anything to do
with"
Lefty" is looked upon by the police as
tone of the most dangerous characters
south of Market street, and his two
brothers. Patrick and Philip. are as bad.
Patrick was sentenced to thirty days by
Judge Conlan yesterday for stealing a
pair of shoes from a cellmate at the
Seventeenth-street Police station. There
is also a charge of grand larceny pending
against him and his brother, Philip, for
wagon at the ferry last September The
valises were found buried in the yard of
the Bannon homestead on Eleventh
street, between Harrison and Bryant.
Lefty has been arrested numerous
times for petty larceny and disturbing
the peace, but he had always sufficient
pull to get free.
