Butte Heard From.

Is Gratis of Butte assembled in CON
vention repudated W. A. Clark
and his shameful methods and COM
mended the Silver Bow members of the
legislature for their noble conduct in
refusing to sell their votes and their
honor to the arch corruptionist of the
century. 1t seemed that the con-
vention was particularly DESTROYS of
doing honor to the men who stood the
fire of the dishonest dollars at Helena
and returned to Butte with spotless
regulations. Nearly all the members Of
the legislature who are residents of
Butte occupied seats in the convention.
j. A. Lewis, one of the representatives,
was honored with the craftsmanship of
the convention and was also nominated
for alderman. Frank Normoyle, anoth-
er legislator, was nominated for police
for police magistrate and Jere Cliff
ford was honored with the chairman
ship of the central committee
If there are any democrats of Butte
who approve the shameless methods of
w. A. Clark, they have not been heard
from. The resolutions denouncing
Clark. commenting the action of the
Silver Bow delegates, and asking con-
gress for an investigation, were passed
without dissenting vote and with ap-
plause from delegates and spectators
that made the rafters ring 1t was a
splendid testimonial to the men who
refused to be bought; 1t was a wither-
ing denunciation of the man who pur-
chased a senatorial seat at the hands
of his fellow citizens and of the party
of which he has claimed to be a mem
Der.
What man who sat in the convention
yesterday would not far prefer being
one of the members of the legislature
who came back to Butte honored by
his fellow-citizens than to be w. A,
Clark, who has money enough to elect
himself United States senator, but who
mas not money enough to purchase the
respect of his fellow-citizens? Repudi
ated in his own city by the party of
which he claimed to be a member, what
"a retribution and yet how Just a retri-
button. Mr.. Clark came to Butte last
summer with the announced intention
of winning the senatorship at any cost
and by any means. He tried to buy the
democratic party, but it was not for
sale. He bought the republican
party and the populist party
His money won, but what an empty
victory after all. In his own city no
one rejoiced and yesterday in demo-
cratic convention not a dissenting vote
was cast in opposition to Clark's re-
pudiation. Who would be senator at
such a penalty?

When Gambling Was Legal.

A curious amount of ancient and mod
ern information has been brought to-
gether by John Ashton in his History
of Gambling in England" 1t appears
in the old days, when the ages were
still what we call dark" that the gam
bier was under the full protection of
the law, it being required that his game
should be fair and little more. From
1876 until the last century, men were
arrested, convicted and punished for
using loaded dice, marked cards or
other of the similar implements for con-
verting games of chance into a certain
ty. In these days even bet of the
most ordinary kind receives no protec-
ton from the courts, and certain sorts
of wagers, like those on elections, re-
ceive severe punishment. But betting
was not in violation of the common law,
Lord Kenyon having held in 1890 that
such was the fact. 1t was a matter of
everyday life for gentleman, or any
one who aspired to the title, to play.
A story Of Beau Nash, a noted beau
and player of his day, tells that he
once taught a noble earl, still in the
first flush of youth, the good sense of
abstaining from playing altogether.
They sat to a game in the evening TO
which Nash was UNNECESSARILY the no.
bleman's superior, and the inevitable
happened. The earl lost his temper
with his money-which made it the bet
ter for Nash Finally all that the earl
owned on earth was in the hands of his
opponent; lands, tenements, heredita-
ments, and, as the last stake, his horses
and carriages were gone. Then the les
son taught to it's bitterest end, Nash
gave back all his winnings with the
stipulation that he might have SIS, GOO
whenever he saw fit to ask for it. This
the nobleman gladly acceded to- and it
is recorded that Nash made the demand
after his lordship's death upon his heirs
and was paid the money without quib-
ble,-EiX.

Bribery Laws.

~HE California legislature has
passed a bill, which has received
the approval of the governor in
tended to prevent bribery in senatorial
elections. 1t provides that every candi-
date for United States senator. and
every person acting for such candidate,
who shall advance or give or loan, or
promise to advance or give or loan, any
money or property to any candidate for
the legislature, before or after his nomi-
nation, or before or after his election,
under an express or implied promise
that such candidate for the legislature,
whether nominated or not, or before or
after his election, will support or vote
for such candidate for senator in the
congress of the United States at an ap-
preaching session of the legislature,
shall be deemed guilty of a felony" Also
that every member elect or candidate
for the legislature who shall accept
any money or property from any candi-
date for senator in the congress of the
United States before the legislature at
an approaching session thereof, or from
any other person acting for or on be-
half of any such candidate for senator
in the congress Of the United States at
an approaching session of the legisla-
ture, under an express or implied prom
Use that such member ELECT of the Iegis-
lature, or such candidate for the legisla-
ture, or candidate for nomination for
the legislature, will if elected as mem
Der of the legislature, support OF vote
for any such candidate for senator in
the congress of the United States for
that office, shall be deemed guilty of
a felony
That's all right. but supposng the
candidate for senator in the congress of
the United States fixes" the grand Jury
as well as a majority of the members of
the legislature? What becomes of any
such law if the avenues to it's enforce
ment are blocked? They are very SIM

they have better grand juries than
some that sit in Montana.

From the Sioux City Tribune.
Many republican journals show that
they are outgrowlng Dngleyism. Posi-
bly, their course is not influenced so much
because they are enamored of a partial
or entire abandonment of the traditional
party doctrine as It Is by the evidence that
radical change is Inevitable and that
party expediency demands submission.
But whether returning reason is forced or
not, it still is returning reason and must
be accepted as encouraging.

when we remember that the trade of
the United States with the other coun-
tries of the world increased last wear

TO grasp her share of the increase but
actually fell behind her proportionate
share of other years. The ports of
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, New

~HE number of American soldiers
who were killed in action or died
of wounds since the beginning
of the war with Spain is asa; the num-
Der who died of disease up to the end
of February was 5,217. The Philadelphia
Times finds that it is not easy to state
exactly the rate of mortality expressed
by these figures. The whole number of
troops in the service at any time was
about 26S,000, but the greater part of
these were actually in camp but a frac-
ton of the ten months covered by the
returns. The mortality upon this basis
would be about 81 per 1000 for the ten
months, or 90 per 1000 per annum.
which is not an excessive rate. The
average mortality in the army during
the civil war was much greater than
this, but then the proportion of deaths
from battle was much greater. The
average was almost exactly two deaths
from disease to one death in action or
from wounds, while during the recent
experience the ratio is between eleven
and twelve
