ELIMINATION FROM A PASTOR.
Preacher WRsson Calls Upon Sena-
tOr-EIect Clark to Retire.

Great Falls. Mon, March 3-The Rev.
Edmund A. Wasson, Phi. D., has sent an
open letter TO Senator elect w A Clark,
calling upon him not to assume the office
of United States Senator. The letter, the
author says, is written as citizen. not as
a minister In it he says
The grounds of my demand are your
general political character and the un-
lawfulness of the means by which the
legislature was induced TO elect YOU
Being what you do not deny to yourself
that you are" the letter gees on, lit must
strike even yourself as indecent and alb
surd that in a short time you are to as
sumo the title of Honorable. What honor.
able thing have you done to entitle you to
this distinction?
Not content with parting with your own
political virtue, you have ruined the char
acters of the poor creatures that Won
tempted with your gold. You have made
them false to their most solemn obliga-
tlons-to their conscience their friends
their party, and their country.
Though the sentence of the law has not
been pronounced against you, you have
been adjudged and convicted in the mind
of every honest man-yes, and rogue too
In the State. You are to be made a Senator
OF Montana because you have disgraced
and shamed her in the eyes of the country
and the world. Do you know that the
scourge of another panic would be less
grievous and the plague of smallpox less
disastrous than the political character and
| career Of our honorable Senator?
There were two classes of men who sup
ported you for Senator. They supported
you, as they put it, as the less of two
evils. Neither of these two classes was
strong enough to elect you by itself. To-
gether they managed it. There were rrac-
tically none who thought that, on your own
merits, you deserved the honor II your
candidacy could have been brought before
the people you would have been asked
with substantial unanimity to stay at home.
The people did not wish you. The legisla-
ture did not wish you.
Retire.
"At Washington you will simply be a
| standing advertisement of our shame. The
only service that you can now perform for
us is to keep your unclean hands off, Re-
tire,'
The Rev. Edmund A. Wasson is rector
of the Episcopal Church of Incarnation of
this city, having come hither six years ago
| from a parish on Long Island. He is a
graduate of Columbia University His con-
| gregation is the wealthiest in Great Falls,
and includes William G. Conrad the
strongest opponent Of Clark before the

porters of Clark in this community DR..

ment back of him and can see the money
materialize.
Unless the American Senate should en-
courage the Cuban Assembly and its light
weight demagogues by the adoption of. the
Foraker resolution calling on the Presi-
dent to withdraw our soldiers and surren-
der the government into Cuban hands,
there is little doubt about the outcome,
provided General Wood is allowed to car
ry on his necessary work at Santiago. The
Assembly will find itself impotent and de-
serted by the people, while the soldiers
will stand by Gomez. The latter will be
aided by the enlistment of some of the
Cuban soldiers in the public service.
While there is no reason to fear any
trouble as a result of the attitude OF the
Assembly, if there is no Congressional in
reference with the policy of the Admins
tration, the Foraker resolution is untimely
and mischievous. and is clearly intended to
embarrass the President. 1t is wholly tn
called for. and its only effect is to persuade
the Cubans that the American Government
has ulterior motives. Only lawless ele-
ment in the island has suggested that the
<hIiCi ftdIS Sdu Sdlclg anu tucii
power for mischief must be enlarged by the
publication of such a resolution. adopted
by the Senate.
The controversy over the proportion of
revenues that should be expended at San
! tiago is still source of local trouble. and
may prove an opportunity for the dema-
gogues. Even if the principle is sound
that the revenues should be distributed ac
cording to the judgment of the military
governor at Havana, ii should be consid-
cred that when General Wood projected
his improvements at Santiago there was
no American governor, Havana being in
Spanish hands. He has not only effected
necessary reforms but he has won
for this Government the support of the
residents and a large part of the Cuban
army. For the present it is important that
| his hold on them should not be weakened,
as it will be if he is unable to continue
| their employment.

Germany's Favor.
fFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Whether the action of France in adopting the
German methods for dscouraging the importa-
tion of American fruits had anything to do with
Germany's change of policy can only be coniec-
tured 1t is not necessary for Americans to con-
slider or decide that question, or to examine
too closely the German motives 1t is enough
TO know that the Kaiser's government has
adopted more friendly policy toward American
meats and fruits that will rebound to the adyan
tage Of American agriculture and tend to prevent
friction between the two nations 1t is in the
line OF preserving the peace of the world to pro.
mote cordial relations the part of this coun-

DEATH DIsTURBs A FEAST.
4 Happy Wife Stricken on Hcl
Birthday.

New York, March Sit was Mrs. Gene
We've Nultys birthday. She was forty
seven years old yesterday. Tall and ro-
bust, with light step and ruddy cheeks,
her gray hair was becoming to her, her
three daughters and her son united in tell
ing her.
All day long there were flowers and pres
ents arriving at No. 634 Greene Avenue
Brooklyn. for Mrs. Nulty had a host of
friends But what she thought about most
was the little outing she and her husband
were to have at the close of the day
She was to call for him at the office of
the Amberg File and Index Company. Nos.
80 and 81 Duane Street. Manhattan, and
they were TO go uptown and dine together
at big hotel. And after dinner they
were going to a theatre to see something
light and laughabie.
None of the children were to be with
them, for, as they explained, it was to be
lust sweethearts' affair" The children,
however were to prepare festival in the
absence of their father and mother. and
there was to be the jolliest possible family
gathering at midnight or later.
And so Mrs. Nulty left home az 4:30
o'clock. handsomely dressed and beaming
with happiness Having crossed the
Bridge she went toward her husbands Of
fee by way of Reade Street.
Suddenly she was seized with a deadly
faintness. Fearing that she would fall on
the pavement, she tottered into the nearest
doorway, which was that of the Vernon
Bros. & Co. at No. %. Some one handed
her chair and she sat down. Her lips
worked conyulsively. but no sound came
from them The birthday flowers at her
cortage-her husbands gift-rose and fell
unanimously.
And she died thus-died before medical
help could reach her. unable even to artic-
ulate her name. The police searched her
clothing in vain for something by which
she might be identified.
Not far away W. H. Nulty waited for his
wife, as eager as schoolboy over the night
off they had planned. The hour for her
coming passed. His partners went away,
with roguish farewells and a little chatting
about his impatience. The clerks went,
| too.
He waited till $50. long after all the
shutters in the neighborhood had been
pulled down. Then, sure that some acci-
dent had happened, he closed the door and
| hurried homeward. On his way to the
Bridge he passed the building where her
| body lay.
When he reached home and learned the
| hour at which she had left TO meet him
| he ran to the Gates Avenue police station,
greatly agitated. A general alarm was
sent out, with Mrs Nulty's description
| And then 1t was not long before the miss
| ing woman was identified with the dead.
There was no birthday feast in the Null
l ty home last night.

1t would be easy to procure accurate re-
ports of the health of chief in the interior of
Africa as of the Car OF Russia SO closely guard
cd are the affairs of that country. There is rea-
son TO believe that the Gar is ill, but how ill
he may be. whether he is i'll at all, is mat
ter impossible to ascertain definitely. All that
can be asserted positively is that he is not dead
since that would be fact impossible to conceal
1t may well be hoped that no such fact will be
published for many years. The young Car has
made good ruler. and his acts. thus far. have
shown that he desires better and more en-
lghtened government than he has yet been able
to establish.
