She Paid the Penalty.

THAT was quoted yesterday
w morning on this page from
the Philadelphia Times, in
sketch OF the career of the late Kate
Chase Sprague, was the more inter-
esting in a reminiscent way because.
as newspaper circles know, that Jour-
nails staff includes at least one veteran
writer who can speak by the card in
respect to many matters that were in
side history in President Lincoln's
eventful days.
The sketch quoted yesterday referred
to the fact, for which proofs are not
lacking, that when she was at the
height of her influence, Kate Chase
spent thousands on paid retainers
whose business was to aid her in her
ambition to get the presidential nomi-
nation for her distinguished father.
The role this woman played was not
creditable one; the money she spent
for coveted political honors, as, for
tunately, is often the case, was money
worse than wasted. In the same way,
her pronounced indifference toward
her only son-one of her four children
was unworthy. In the same way, too,
her alleged social shortcomings and
the manner in which she related her
conduct toward her husband as well as
were not praiseworthy.
But this woman knew what 1t was
to endure Christening; to a degree, at
least, she paid the penalty; in meas
ure she made atonement. 1t is well
known-at least, if not well known it
erty she sternly refused the offer of
money by several publishers who
hoped to induce her to furnish certain
facts which would have been a be-
trayal of secret incidents in politics
and of matters of state respecting
which she alone could speak with au-
thority. She lived to know that the
boy she spurned because he was his
fathers son committed suicide in a
western town; she faced the fact that
her discarded husband married Nir-
ginia woman whose great wealth per-
mitted him, in spite of the loss of his
own fortune, to live in luxury amid the
scenes in Rhode Island where she had,
for the hour, made his life miserable.
No matter what the sequel was, it
will always be told that Kate Chase,
hardly more than twenty years old
when she became the mistress of her
fathers famous home in Washington,
was, perhaps, the most brilliant wo-
man in Washington's social and politi-
cal circles during the first administra-
ton of Lincoln.

Higher and Lower Considerations.

IN a singularly lucid and luminous
review of the Welcome disbarment
case, the Butte Inter Mountain
boldly, clearly and emphatically de-
fines its position with reference to the
Clark bribery scandal. We fail to re-
call that the Inter Mountain in its fire.
quent discussions of the subject ever
before expressed itself in words so d.
rect and unmistakable If in the past
it's attitude towards the question has
been suggestive of a man straddling
the top rail of a zigzag fence and hold
ing on thereto with a firm and stead
fast resolution never to resign his seat,
it now takes a bold, firm, uncompromis-
ing stand like rock of adamant. Fairly
and squarely, without any circumlocu-
ton or mincing of words, the Inter
Mountain declares that "the disbar-
ment proceedings instituted against Mr..
John B. Welcome before the supreme
court of this state are likely to excite
an interest throughout Montana second
only to the senatorial election of last
winter"
Could anything be franker, stronger,
more direct, positive and to the point?
But the Inter Mountain goes even far
! Their, Casting it's conservatism to the
winds, it advances to the firing line and
! there untiinChingly, intrepidly, with
| FunstOu-like dash and audacity dis
charges the proposition that "one side
! will exert itself to prove the allegations
| made against Mr.. Welcome, with
| view to clOuding the senatorial title of
! Mr.. Clark. while the other side will
| strive with unabatcd ardor to show
! that no legitimate cause for action
| exists
! But it is in Its discussion Of the legal
| phases of the Welcome case that this
able defender of the republican faith

boldest and best. Like wellington on

precision of mathematics the result Of
every possible contingency and compli-
cation. Observe a few of its striking
deductions:

est office in the government, 1 should
have felt perfectly assured that under
his auspices the administration of the
country's affairs would have been
safely placed"
It's the way we have in this coun-
try. 1t is due to the adaptability of
the average American for useful per-
formances in the public service. There
is no particular demand for special
lists. OF course, sometimes we miss it;
proba BILE it is, for instance, that if Sec
rotary Day who was an absolutely
green hand at the business, had been
a man trained to craftsmanship, he
would have urged the president to avoid
the inconsiderate policy that pushed us
into Philippine troubles.
The difficulty in this instance was
that President Mckinley didn't want
a secretary of state who would COM
bat the presidential policy at any
point. Judge Day is a good man-it
was in the plan of Mr.. Hanna and Mr.
Mckinley that he should simply be

by experience, that Mr.. Roots lack of
military experience is not against him.
when it comes to the management of
the department of war.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-06

y TRANGELY enough, some of the
~ newspapers are insisting that
~ President Mckinley ought to
have placed the war department under
the charge of a trained solder-Mr.
Root, the new secretary. is a civilian.
The theory is well enough-one
would say, judging by civil-service
tests. that military matters ought to
be managed by a man skilled in mill
tary affairs; in the makeup of clhi-
nets the war powers of Europe are
governed by that theory. But it is
different with us, and it cannot be said
that the average for cabinets in cur
history has fallen below an average of
high excellence.
One recalls off-hand that Stanton,
taken from law office, was a great
war secretary in the greatest war of
modern times. The country remem-
bers Mr.. Whitney as an eminently
successful secretary of the navy; he
was novice when he entered the
Cleveland cabinet. To be sure, several
of the most famous war secretaries
were men who had enjoyed military
experience. James Monroe, who served
in Madison's time, had been a soldier
in the revolution; William L. Marcy,
President Folks secretary, saw service
as a soldier when he was a young
man; Rawlins, much respected in
President Grants term, was a veteran
Jefferson Davis made a good record in
the war department-he was an edu-
Gated soldier, although he never fol-
lowed the profession.
All the traditions are that the man
who most distinguished himself in the
war department was John C. Calhoun
yet we almost never think of him in
association with military matters. so
eminent was his service in the realm
of craftsmanship. Besides, Mr.. Cal
houn had a pronounced distaste for
the military service. Yet he under
stood what ought to be done. While
he was IN the war department a con-
tention arose between him and General
Jackson III reference TO the conduct of
the Seminole war. 1t caused a breach
between the two men that lasted as
long as they lived. Mr.. Calhoun
served two full terms in the war de-
partment. beginning with the inaugur-
alton of Monroe, in 1917. In this field
he won lasting fame; 10 this day, the
department, by the testimony of re-
cent secretaries, feels the impress of
his genius for organization" and for
the methodical arrangement of the
work of its several branches.
In respect to many details the sys-
TEN introduced by Mr.. Calhoun is in
force to-day in war-department affairs
In his eulogy Of Calhoun, Mr.. Clay
said: such was the high estimate
formed Of his talent that if at the end
of his service in the executive depart
ment. under President Monroe-the du-
ties OF which he performed with signal
ability--he had been called to the high
