Inauguration of Mr.. Mckinley, was to
christen the tariff bill-the measure en-
acted at that time, under famously Wig
orous application of the whip and spur
by Speaker Reed, has become known as
the Dingley bill. For the rest, Mr..
Dingley, by virtue of his office, has been
the leader of the republican side since
the house has been run by Speaker
Reed.
Mr.. Dingley was simply the agent
through whom the speaker operated on
the floor of the house. 1t is well known,
as one of the amusing manifestations of
Reeds methods, that on an occasion or
two when he proposed to have an adj
journment and when bit of prevailing
confusion permitted it, the speaker
hammering at the desk. announced:
The chair recognizes the gentleman
from Maine, who moves that the house
do now adjourn" and the gentleman
from Maine, not quite alert enough, had
moved nothing of the sort.
Mr.. Dngley was a useful member of
congress. In his recent years he had
the benefit of an advantage which
money cannot buy-that is the advan-
tage of experience which was the result
of term after term of service in the
house. He was a good working MEM
Der; not at all brilliant man or one of
mental gifts conspicuously above the
average. But he worked diligently and
effectively and he was recognized as
one of the strong men in congress. But
for the war, his tariff bill would I'M
questionably have proved to be a gigan-
tic failure.
Mr.. Dingley was an upright man and,
in politics, a republican who was al
ways ready and willing to trot along
with his political associates who were
in power. He was well liked by his fell
low members, and his death at the
time when he was the majority's recog-
nized leader, makes the loss a conspicu-

BY the People.

IN commenting on the recent most
disgraceful exposure in Helena the
Billings Times makes some good
points in favor of an amendment to the
constitution taking away from the leg
islature the selection of senators and
leaving the selection to direct vote of
the people. 1t argues that the cost of
corrupting the whole electorate of the
state, if such an undesirable achieve
ment were possible, would be too great
for the most free-handed of millionaires
to pay, and the people would make as
free choice as for other offices. The
tone of the men elected to the state leg
islature would be improved, for men
would be selected for their qualifica-
tons for office rather than because they
favored a certain candidate for senator
Without doubt there are many argu-
ments to be made in favor of electing
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. But what earthly show
would w. A. Clark stand of election in
such case? Suppose Mr.. Clark were
dependent for his election on the num-
Der of votes of his fellow citizens which
he could obtain instead of on the num-
Der of dollars he could count out, how
much show would he have?
The only thing which makes Mr.
Clark a senatorial possibility is the fact
that he is millionaire. He would not be
thought of in connection with the office
but for the fact that he has money.
There are many hundred good demo-
Gratis in Montana who are better quail
fled to fill the position of senator than
is Mr.. Clark. Has the time come in the
history OF this country when only mil
lionaire can be elected a senator? Has
the time come when men of modest
means like Toole, Maginnis. Walsh
Mats, Norris. Mediation, Fox, Barber
Frank, Henry and scores of others who
possess the qualifications to fill the Of
fee must always step aside because a
millionaire wants it, and will have it at
any price and has the money to pay the
price? If that be true, then indeed it
would seem to be better that the people
elect a senator by direct vote.

SATURDAY, JAN. IA, 1899.
TEN PAGES.
Elect a Democrat.

IT was expected that Clark would
receive on yesterdays ballot the
half dozen odd votes which are
ready to switch the moment he presses
the button, but either Mr.. Clark is not
ready to press the button or the cleo
trio wires are little out of order. The
only addition to Clark's vote yesterday
was that cast by Senator Cullen. His
case has for weeks been so well under
stood that his action could not arouse
even passing comment.
Only those who are in the Clark ma
more stand ready to answer the roll
WREN the summons comes, but there are
a few whose cases have become town
talk in Helena and the surprise will
come if they refuse to deliver. They
seem to be going over, into the Clark
ranks rather reluctantly and it's no
wonder.
The indications seem to be that the
contest will be 1ong-drawn out. Mr..
Clark has declared that it will either
Ut lllIlIsSll vi IiobohSs IHol 10 W soy I,
Montana must either be unrepresented
or misrepresented. But it is not be-
lieved that the democrats of Montana
will submit to any such dictation on
Clark's part. There are plenty of good
men in the democratic party in this
state. Name whom you please. Any
one of them will suit the Standard. AS
a democratic newspaper it can never
countenance the candidacy of man
who openly fought the democratic
ticket in the four strong west side dem
ocratic counties, even if he had not
placed himself beyond the pale of re-
ceiving any honest mans vote by his
wholesale bribery.
Had Clark succeeded in his effort to
defeat the democratic legislative tick
cts in Silver Bow, Deer Lodge, Ravalli
and Missoula counties, to accomplish
which he spent vast sums of money, it
would not be possible to elect demo-
crat at all to the United States senate,
for the opposition would be in the ma
jority. What right, then, can Clark
have to dictate to the democrats of
Montana that he must be selected and
none other?
There are plenty of good democrats
who would creditably represent Mon
tana in the United States senate. Let
the democrats in the legislature get to-
gether and select one of them.

There is a vast difference between be-
trayal and exposure. 1t is treacherous
to betray a trust. but it is the duty Of
every honest citizen to expose Grim

crime and brings a criminal up short
deserves the commentator of his fell
low citizens and the good citizens OF
Montana will not long permit their eyes
to be blinded to justice by the glitter of
gold.
Senator Whteside was not the serv-
ant of Clark but of the state of Mon
tana. He was elected by his fellow citi-
zens to serve the state. He found that
a crime was being committed against
the laws of the state of Montana. AS
it is the duty of the detective to catch
thief, so it was the duty of Senator
Whteside as a servant of the state to
expose and bring up before the bar of
justice the man who was breaking the
laws of the state. He did his duty and
he has done it we'll.

The Senatorial Scandal.

From the Livingston Post. 81.
News from the capital this week is
not only of a highly sensational and
startling character, but it is of such
nature as to cause the blush Of
shame to crimson the cheek of every
decent, respectable man, woman and
child in the fair state of Montana. The
charge Of bribery and corruption in
connection with the election of a Unit
ed States senator is not only made but
is proven by testimony so positive,
clear and unimpeachable as to leave
no shadow of doubt regarding its truth
fulness. The investigation was made
by joint committee of the senate and
house of the sixth legislative assem-
bly, of the state Of Montana. This COM
mittee has made partial report. 1t
has in it's possession the sum of $4,000
which by the testimony of Senat ors
Whteside and Clark. was paid by John
B. Welcome, W. A. Clark's attorney
in Butte, for the purpose of inducing
two senators and two representatives
to cast their votes for w. =. Clark for
United States senator ,-.r q. .3.'E,
1t must be admitted that while Mon
tana stands Inundated and disgraced
by this attempt at bribery and corrup-
ton, at the same time it stands fully
redeemed and vindicated by the swift
complete and thorough manner in
which the crime has been exposed, and
the guilty parties condemned at the
bar of honest public sentiment. In on
ly remains for the courts in their ju-
dicial capacity to try the alleged hood
lers, and If found guilty, send them to
the penftentiary, as just and right
eous punishment for their high crimes
and misdemeanors.

The Situation at Helena.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
The courts have been prompt to act
on the request of the legislature and a
grand jury has been summoned at Hell
ena by Judge McIntire. The jury is
made up of Helena citizens, with one
exception. that beng citizen of Marys-
vile. The sentiment in Helena has
been VIGOROUSLY favorable to w. A.
Clark, who is accused of being the
chief actor in this bribery business. 1t
If the citizens selected for the grand
jury are upright, honorable men, for it
will go to do away with any suspicion
that they are actuated by malice to-
ward the accused in any report they
may bring in, and it is currently stated
that the evidence to be presented to it
is of a character that cannot be ig-
nored by any body of men charged with
high judicial functions such as apper-
tain to grand jury.
In this connection it seems to us that
Senator Whiteside deserves to be cred
tied with great courage in the course
he has taken. His action has dealt a
blow at boodling which it will not soon
recover from, whatever the issue of the
present proceedings may be, and he has
incurred the wrath of the tremendous
force and power which fifty millions of
money gives in this world The man
who thinks that is a slight thing not
worth considering doesn't know the
power which money in vast sums car
ries, and the ways in which it's resent
ment may be made effective.

greatest crime that ever disgraced this
or any other state, it is too early to
state. A part of the evidence before

votes for Clark is to be paid and the
man who votes for him without being
paid is a fool" Senator Warner and

From the report of the committee Of
the Montana legislature, it appears that
votes for senator are valued at $4,000.

~ HE papers which are condoning
Clarks crime, following the
lead of the Butte Miner, still
persist in their attack on Senator
Whiteside and seek to lead the public to
the belief that the only question is
whether Whiteside is to believed or the
man who wants a seat in the senate.
If Whiteside is not to be credited, how
about the testimony of Senator Clark of
Madison county and Senator Myers of
Ravalli county? The testimony of these
gentlemen is just as strong as that of
Whiteside himself and would be suffi-
cient to convict the bribers even with
the testimony of Whiteside eliminated.
Senator Clark has testified that John B.
Welcome counted out to him 5000 for
his vote for Clark and that in Well
comes presence he placed the bills in an
envelope, sealed the envelope and
wrote his name over the seal That is
is just as strong as that of Senator
Whiteside.
But the various papers in which Mr..
Clark has an interest are only seeking
to deceive the public of Montana as to
the facts in this case. They have pub
lished only garbled reports of the evil
dence-an expurgated edition prepared
in Clark's headquarters in Helena. The
Butte Miner has never published the
evidence which was submitted in this
case and which must convince any fair
minded man that Clark is a briber The
Miner never will publish the evidence.

What Will They Doo

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
In the meantime what are the decent
men of Montana doing in the business?
Are they not beginning to grow a little
weary of having senatorships auctioned
off to the highest bidder in their state?
They know the honest men in the legis-
lature; they know if there are any
thieves. In the old days when there
We're men in Montana who were sus-
pected of possessing a propensity to
appropriate other mems chattels to
their own use, the decent people of thai
territory quickly organized and hanged
them. The atmosphere there has been
clearer ever since. Their crimes were
as nothing compared with the effort to
corrupt Legislators and defeat the will
of the people as expressed through their
ballots. Is none of the old spirit still
left in the souls of the people?
