Berendes of the Bank of Boulder has
testified as to this fact before the

that the money was the proceeds Of the
sale of some property in Boulder to
Mr.. Whitmore, one of Mr.. Clark's
agents. The sale, he said, was made in
December, before he came to Helena.
Inquiry at the office of the Jefferson
county clerk and recorder yesterday
revealed that no deed Of any kind as
passing between Warner and Whit

facts in the case of Senator Warner,

Warner has voted for Clark every day

It is true that about this time Pres
ident Mckinley made a tour oi
several States in the South and
spoke words Of honeyed flattery
to the Southern people, but the
War Department took par ocular
pains to keep Sou hern troops from
the front and offered no prominent
post to any Southern man. The
North and the West monopolized
all the posts OF honor and their
troops were assigned to active duty,
when Southern regiments were
kept in camps OF olinstruction. This
was enough to dampen the en-
thusiasm Of even the most patriotic
people, and the result was what
might have been expected. More
over, the South has received scanty
recognition in the appointment of
officers for the new volunteer reg
iments. A few crusts IN the shape
Of commissions in the lower grades

Trnsta ana the Law.

During the past week the prices
Of beet and other meat have been
advanced from two to FIVE cents a
pound by a combination Of West
ern packers. There is no pretense
that beef is scarcer or that it costs
more to make it. 1t is admitted
that the price is raised arbitrarily
in order to make good to the trust
its temporary losses incurred in
establishing a meat monopoly in
England.
Meanwhile Trusts continue to
multiply in all the other necessar-
les Of life. Within the week there
were organized
A Cotton Goods Trust;
An Ice Trust;
A Hide and Leather Trust;
An Asphalt Trust.
These simply supplement the
hundreds OF other Trusts and Mon
opolies formed during the present
year, seeking to control the pro-
duction and fix the prices OF nearly
every article oI general use.

The Comic side OF Imperialism.


There would be less complaint
Of the dullness Of political news il

1t is, for instance, not dull but
highly entertaining to learn from
Mr.. Schurman that after wiping
out polygamy in Utah we are ex-
pected to embrace and protect it in
Sulu.
1t is more than entertaining to

echoes from the German Press.

The German Republican Con-
gresham Theobald Often, of Mil
waukee, says the Fort Wayne
Fyeie PyesSe, has sent an open let
ter to the chairman Of the German
American convention held lately
in Detroit to protest against an
English alliance, in which he ex-
presses his highest disapprobation
OF the action taken by that con-
ventIon, and declared that he could
prove that every Gsrman-Ameri-
can was in reality an Anglo-Saxon.
and furthermore, that it was our
duty to live at peace with all tn :
world, includ uding England.
This statement OF Mr.. Otjen's,
then continues the Free PrESSe,
has been heralded far and wide by
the Administration press, and
given as much publicity as posi-
BILE. His remarks concerning the
objection of the Germans to
colonial policy and alliance with
England, and that we were Anglo
Saxons we shall pass by. 1t is
probably true that there will be
no Anglo-American alliance now,
but at the time when the Detroit
convention took place such a bee
was buzzing in the heads Of many
of our Republican friends. Even
in the Executive Mansion such an
idea vas going the round, as was
shown by the comment aroused
over the much quoted letter which
Mr.. Mckinley sent to London at
that time.
Besides there is now not a doubt
but that movement was on loot
to influence the people by misrep-
RESERVATIONS to become inimical to
Germany, so as to iorce closer and
more amicable relations with Eng
land, which, il it had not been
stopped bv these meetings, would
have resulted in an alliance. For
this reason no one should condemn
the true American position taken
by the naturalized citizens Of this
country in protesting against any
foreign entanglements, and move
ments which tender to sever the
friendly relations between the Ger
man Empire and the United States
No German American citizen has
any objection whatsoever to see
our Government on peaceful terms
with England. On the contrary
it is the duty OF this country tc
promote peace and amiability be
tween all foreign nations.

Says the Wacktey and AHSsigey,
a German daily Of Cincinnati, Ohio:
The newest joke that the New
York Stats ZEitHHg has sprung
is that the latter claims there is
"not doubt but that the Ameri-
can people are against Trusts and
Imperialism, but that they are not
prepared to fight this battle under
the leadership ot man (Bryan)
Rho possesses neither that intel
lectual nor refined discipline neces-
sary to rule such grea. nation
as ours"
No doubt this means, says the
WacktEy, that our good New York
Auntie will as usual return to the
fold Of its old friend Mr.. McKin
ley, who has so clearly demon
strated in his Presidential reign
that he possesses all those faculties
and virtues.

Are there no laws against these
"conspiracies in restraint Of trade"

Oh, yes! There is a stringent
Federal anti-tr ust law, and most oi
the States, including New York
and Illinois, have statutes of sim
liar character.
Why are not these laws entorced1
1t is as easy as a thimblerigPer's
game. The Attorney General OF
the United States, the official
charged (under the President) with
the duty Of seeing that "the laws
are faithfully executed" says that
the regulation OF indu stTIal combi-
nations "is entirely a matter OF
State CONTROL" and that "u1less
the functions of interstate COM
merce are interfered with | would
be superofficious to attempt cru
sade against affairs with which l
have no business"
To the lay mind of the ordinary
plundered citizen it would seem
that a Meat Trust organized in
Chicago, and not only supplying
the markets OF all our Eastern
cities but actually selling meat
cheaper in London than it does in
New York, was engaged both in
interstate and international com.
merce. So oi the Ice Trust, reach
ing from Maine to New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington. So OF the Hide and
Leather Trust and a hundred
others.
And yet, with a Trust lawyer as
Attorney General and President
to whose campaign fund protected
monopolies contributed million
dollars, the chance Of the people to |
find relief in the Federal law is
about equal to the chance of safety
to a roost Of chickens guarded by |
Br'er Fox and Br'er Coon.
AS to the State officials, the Re-
publican Attorneys General-wIth
here and there an honorable ex-
ception like that Of Mr.. Monnett in
Ohio-hold that State laws are
powerless, owing to interstate
commerce" and to chartered rights
granted by other States.
And so there We are-at the |
mercy Of the trusts. Nobody to |
blame. EVERYBODY Dowerless.
The common sense remedy |
would seem to be to elect a Presi-
dent and Governors who believe
that monopolies should and can be
strangled, and who will see to it
"By the EternalW that the laws |

The Conquest OF PsstiIenoe.

Science seems to have mastered
yellow fever as completely as it
had already mastered cholera.
The fever broke out with vic
lence in the Soldiers Home at
Hampton in midsummer's heats.
All the circumstance rendered
the outbreak peculiarly threaten
ing and especially difficult to deal
with. Yet in a week the pestilence
was stayed, and the official report
now is that there have been mo
new cases and no deaths since
Aug. T." That was al days ago
a period about thrice as long as is
required tor the development OF
yellow fever infection.
Santiago has always been a fav-
orite haunt OF this scourge. Yet
by a wise enforcement o sanitary
regulations Gen. Wood prevented
the appearance OF the disease there
until midsummer, when in his alb
sence il broke out in Virulent
form. Gen. Wood returned, and
in spite OF troplc heat and the in
difference Of an ignorant and foul
living population he'sGamped it out
in a week or two.
Even at Havana, the nursery OF
yellow fever, where there is fever
breeding spot in the harbor that
cannot be removed except by years
of dredging, American medical
officers have succeeded in prevent
ing an epidemic this season.
1t may or may not be true, as a
great physician has said, that dis
ease is dirt" But il is clearly
demonstrated now that yellow
fever and cholera have dirt alone
for their progenitor. The exist.
ence OF such diseases in epidemic
form Is always and everywhere a
disgrace to the community thai
suffers from them. The same thing
is true OF bubonic plague anc
typhus and every other form o

who proposes to exhibit them on
the platform during her anti
lynching crusade. has moved the

this indignant comment:
When the hystericals Of Boston meet
in solemn conclave and resolve upon
the apotheosis of a Hose they really
have taken a step to bring on a race war
in the South. They have infurlated the
strongest and most earnest opp Jnents
OF the mob in this section. When they
learn to quit eulogizing heldish criml-
nails; when they begin to urge upon the
negroes the necessity of removing the
main cause of offense, and when they
show that their sYmpathies are not with
the criminals who are lynched, but for
the whites who feel compelled to join
with the mob, then they may be able to
accomplish something. AS It is now
they never hold public meeting which
does not hasten the approach OF a gen
eral race war.
No right thinking person can
blame the Southern people tor re-
senting the attempt ot certain
Northern agitators to add tuel to
the flames of the race trouble. The
parading OF the unfortunate family
OF a murdered negro through the
cities Of the North by hysterical
young woman can only stir up
Sc ectional bitterness.
II is an appeal to the passions.
It will add to the discomfort OF the
negroes and further infiame the

OTHER ABNKR's FINGER IN THR PIE.

Il was 10 the contracts for uniforms,
shoes, hats. tentiDg and even the winding
sheets for the hospital dead. that Abner
Mckinley is alleged to have made his
record as a traffi ker IN the family
name. He was a paramount factor in
abe letting Of these contracts. 1t is said
that he made q fortune while the war
was being fought to It's brief end. He
played the "middleman" and eKscted
heavy tithe for each concession secured
because of the v hite House name.
Leaving the question OF Brother
Abnsr's" personal dealings to the
discriminating intelligence Of a Con
gressional Jury later to be called. glance
briefly at some OF the known War
Department pies IN which Brother
Abner" had acknowledged finger. The
clothing bill OF the American army for
the last peace year was ST,a77,73S. For
the war period it was SI4,74A,41I.
These following figures show how il is
possible tor the brother OF the President
to appear more prosperous today than
April ofa year ago. From May to June
90 OF '9S there were purchased by
the QuarteEmaster' Department ago, 1877
blankets; July to Aug IS. same year,
747 JsI--a contract worth more than
81. 100000. From May to June 80. last
year, contracts were entered into for
the purchase ol S3s,665 pairs OF shoes;
between July 1 and Aug IS, same year,
z4s, go pairs we're bought. That's
another contract worth two millions.
And "Brother Abner" knows the name
OF every contractor favored by the
Quartermaster Department. The same
Department bought two consignmenis
OF undershirts at the same time that had
profit for the war contractor in every

look the profit on the lire sale" OF
socks. The army that was put in the field,
aud nearly starved to death waiting for
a chance to fight Spain, took with It to

used more than a half million rubber
pouchOs. each bearing the private mark
OF the White House Syndicate. Five
contracts for campaign hats were made
between the declaration Of war and the
peace protocol. The first was for 59,76s;
the second tor Isq sig; the third for

All these minor details Of the contract
system upon which the Spanish Amer

which Congress will certainly enquire
into officially before the next national
