WHERE DOES CaRTERSTAND?

WHERE DOES CaR7ERsTANDs
Fol some time there has been a great
difference of opinion anon students of
the Transvaal question as to which side
God is on.
One class reasons from the standpoint
of the issues involved, ranging the wis
| dom of the Almighty along their own
lines Of vision as to right and wrong,
| While the opinions of the other class rest
upon the fortunes of war.
But this apparently inexplicable mys-
| terry has been overshadowed of late by
the intense interest manifested by those
who are trying to determine which side
Senator Thomas H. Garter is on in the
Clarll-Daly fight.
The Anaconda Standard heralded the
tests against the seating of Nj. Clark,
with an air that seemed 10 Indicate that
the senior senator had gotten into the
reform band wagon and occupied a front
seat with the driver.
In the white space between the lines of
printed matter in the Standard, the psy-

our midst. We fetched him with that full
page illustrated interview, in which we
exonerated him from splitting on the Hell
ena sidewalk. Gradually, all the great
men are coming our way-thanks to our
art DEPARTMENT.
But while the Standard has been fixing
up this matter, pretty much after the
fashion of one class of Boer philosophers
in locating the prejudices of God in the
South African war, the Butte Miner has
not been idle.
1t has been looking up a long chain of
authorities and has discovered an Asso-
ciated Press report, which was not exclud-
ed from the columns of the leading papers
in the east, stating that Mr.. Carter and
Mr.. Clark took lunch together in the SEN
ate restaurant.
IL - aiSO ulledltiltu tle ldcl lldC
when Nj. Clark took the oath of office, MI.
Garter took Mr.. Clark down the aisle ION
his arm"
While MI. Carter is known to be very
strong in Montana, it was not supposed
that he could take as heavy a weight as
Mr.. Clark very far on one arm.
But it seems that he did it.
The fact that Mr.. Carter supported Mr..
Clark on his arm when he went to take the
oath Of office, ought to c~onclusively show
Miles Finlen and the editor of the Stand
ard the reason why the junior senator
was not stricken down as dead as g

CLANCY AND CONNELLY ABROAD.

1t seems that the set-to between Coun-
ty Attorney Connolly and Judge Clancy
did not end with the discharge of a few
pent-up remark of a tropical character
in the court room. In the Salt Lake Her
aid of the 10th instant, the following
headlines:
Butte, Mont, Dec. "a sensational
and remarkable scene was witnessed in
Judge William Clancy's department of
the district court this morning when
County Attorney c. p. Connolly made a
bitter attack on the court for his action
in turning a number of criminals loose
under strange and remarkable rules of
law established by himself, and from
which the state has no appeal. The coun-
" attorney roasted him for five minutes,
charging him with ignorance and dishon-
esty, which the judge took meekly and
without barely making a reply.
This version of the affair is untrue. both
as it relates to the extra-judicial bravery
of the county attorney and to the lamb
like meekness of the judge. The above
dispatch would have been Just as near
correct had it stated that the judge mop
ped the floor with the county attorney
until the latter was forced to take an an
peal from the district court to a second
hand clothing store. 1t is not at all nm.
likely that the Herald's Butte cores
pendent may have to answer to the
charge of contempt of court. He virtual
ly accuses the judge of turning criminals
loose in violation of the law.

The laws and the treaties of the

this country from discriminating in

eign trade. All the worlds shipping
stands on an equality with American

has almost wiped out our shipping
IN that trade. But Cuba can give

Tie deaths of Col. Smedley of
Milbank and Frank ID. Adams of

death of Gov. Sheldon, present a re
markable coincidence, inasmuch as
the three men were warm personal

Col. Smedley and Senator Adams
were appoinrees of Gov. Sheldon on

of life allotted man but the others
were cut off in the prime of life.
