rHE stunning effect of yesterdays
remarkable exposure of bride
rascality a Helena is best
measured by the vote taken on the
senatorship. 1t was the vote taken
by the two houses of the legislature
meeting in separate session-by law,
to-day is the time for the first Joint
session.
During week or ten days prior to
yesterday, the Clark greasers filled the
air with the noisy prediction that he
would get, sure" ffty-seven votes on
the first ballot, as the result of their
operations. Heelers from Butte were
carried over to Helena in order to swell
the noise of the chorus that was hired
to work this prophecy. The shouting
was we'll sustained-until Monday
afternoon, when the committee to in
quire into the allegations of bribery
was appointed. in spite of the opposi-
ton of the Clark boosters.
What a difference on Tuesday! In

Right You Are.

HIS newspaper cordially agrees
with these words, taken from
an editorial printed in yester-
day mornings Miner: Senator Camp
bell did the proper thing when he had
introduced and passed by the Montana
legislature a resolution appointing
committee to investigate the charges of
bribery and attempted bribery brought
by the Anaconda Standard in connec-
ton with the United States senator
ship
Most certainly Senator Campbell aid
the right thing when he proposed tie
committee. The Miner thought so-yes-
terday morning. The Standard thought
so then, and it thinks so now, harder

Two of a Kind.

1T was a mighty rocky road yester-
into the federal senate Clark is
one of them; Quay is the other. The
difference between the men Is that
Clark operates his corruption scheme
with his own money: Quay, for his pur-
poses, makes Pennsylvania put up.
Quay is more thrifty than Clark: Quay
simply swipes what Doodle he wants
out Of the state treasury and tells the
officers to charge it to Quay"
Another difference is that, while both
men are brazen bloodlers, Quay thus
far has always won, while Clark thus
far has never won; and the climax of
bribery revealed yesterday is a final
proving-up of a positive assurance that
Clark never will-not in Montana
These two men had the props knocked
out from under them, yesterday
Clark at the legislative tribunal, Quay
at the bar of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania.
1t really looks as if for Quay, as for
Clark, the last hope has faded. If Quay
could have persuaded the supreme court
at Philadelphia to decide his way, he
might possibly have made another
stagger at it with the legislature at
Harrisburg. The court declined to give
Quay lift-he must stand trial. They're
a rum pair-Clark and Quay. The clock
has struck twelve, for the Montana
millionaire briber, certainly; for the
Pennsylvania corruptionist, apparently.

How Far Must He Fall

ESTERDAY afternoon the Butte
" Miner came out in an extra edi-
ton. 1t appeared on the streets
a few hours after the vote taken in the
legislature, on the choice Of a senator
On that vote, by all the promises of
the boodlers, Clark was to have scored
q total of fifty-seven, or thereabouts
Clark polled, in both houses, seven
votes. Temporary embarrassment"
remarks the extra Miner, and the de-
sire of the members to look further into
the disclosures made, caused a falling
off in the vote for Mr.. Clark
We simply arise to inquire how much
farther Clark would have to fall off in
order-to make this temporary embar-
raSsment" permanent.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-01-11

stead of fifty-seven votes the Clark
total was seven; the vote was taken
directly after the thirty thousand dol
lar exhibition of Clark Doodle was
made. If the exposure isn't responsible
for this remarkable shrinkage, what is?
The truth is that the Clark candidacy
is collapsed bubble that will never fill
again.
And the telling effect of the truth, as
the legislature felt it, leaves it's per-
ceptible effect on every community in
relief that this grip of corrupting gold
on the state has been cast off The
reign of Doodle in Montana's legislative
hall is ended!

than ever. The result of the action
taken by Senator Campbell is worth far
more than any living man can estimate
to this states good name, to its stand
ing in the nation, to its reputation for
decency in politics.
1t can with truth be said that, as the
direct result of Senator Campbell's res
olution, Montana stands redeemed.
THE proper thing"--so the Miner de-
scribes what Senator Campbell did.
Well, that adjective will do; but it is
more to the point to say that Senator
Campbell did that which does him en-
during honor; the sequel of his manly
act was the uncovering of the whole
Clark bribery gang. Our hope is that
the Miner will revive this morning
the expression of it's belief that "Sena-
tor Campbell did the proper thing"
Under THE circumstances, it is due that
the Standard should send a letter CT
thanks to Senator Campbell. He'll get
it; he ought to have had it before now.
Possibly the Miner will join the Stand
ard in extending Fluctuations to the
Park-county senator?
The bluff has been called" added
the Miner, yesterday morning, to its
complimentary mention of Senator
Campbelrs work The Campbell res
olution will enable a legislative COM
mittee to call upon the Anaconda

Buncombe From Burrows.

From the Grand Rapids Democrat
1--WE must said Senator Burrows in
his Lansing address to- the faithful last
night ''recreate merchant marine"
This is the same old song republican lead
ers have been singing for more than 80
years-and the American merchant ma
rine has, nevertheless; steadily dwindled
year after year, until to-day its foreign
tonnage-according to the official report
of the bureau of navigation-is less than
it was 81 years ago. The recreation of
the merchant marine cannot be in reason
expected at the hands of the party whose
stupid greed has caused its destruction.

Personal Mention.

President Iglesias of the Costa Rcan re-

Europe is connected with the stock of the

mercial facilities.
William A. Eddy. the scientific kite flyer
of Bayonne, has succeeded in taking the
temperature of the air 72S feet above the

though by the time it was brought to

fallen to 16 degrees.

Junkets at Public Expense.

From the Minneapolis Times.
1t is reported that the sentiment has
grown in congress against the congress
sional junkets which have been frequent
OF late years. 1t is not so much that
some congressman want to magnify their
office that they do these things as it is
that they want the public to pay their ho-
tel and cigar bills The farce has been
kept up too long for continued patience
The fact--if it is a fact-that congress
has reached the same conclusion is some
thing to its credit and encourages the
hope that patriotism and self-respect still
have some force in that body
