SAMPSON Oh sCHLEy-wHICH?

The United States senate had the en-
tire executive session Monday taken up
in the discussion Of the promotion of
Admirals Sampson and Schley and
other naval officers engaged in the
Santiago campaign owe the heads of
officers who were their superiors in
rank. The controversy was then post
poned for twenty days, after a vote had
been taken to call for the records of the
navy department. bearing upon the con-
duct of all affected by the advancement.
The senate is trying to determine who
should receive the praise for the glori-
GUS victory achieved in the harbor of
Santiago OH Sunday. July 3 last
Sampson or Schley. Some declare that
the former is the one, while others hold
to Schley and say he should be adj
vanced over Sampson. When the rec
ords from the navy department are re.
vealed the matter will be settled hence
forth. Admiral Dewey can thank his
lucky star that he had everything his
own way in the harbor at Manila.
But the work done by the American
navy and army in the late Spanish war
will ever live in the memories Of all
Americans, who will record the praise
to every sailor and soldier who took
part, without regard to rank or distipc-
tion.

GUILTY, BUT NOT PROVEN.

Reduced to a single sentence, the
above is the report of the special grand
Jury which has been at work in Helena
for the past ten days Investigating the
charges OF bribery in connection with
the senatorial contest. That bribery
has been practiced, 10 sensible man in
the state doubts for II single moment,
but the conviction Of the bribe-givers
and bribe-takers III a court Of justice is
q different matter; n party to the
transaction would probably swear to
zone thing and the other to another; it
is next to impossible to obtain the di-
rect evidence of credible persons to sus-
tain such charges. Whiteside, how
ever, is a s~elf-confessed bribe-taker, al
though he excuses himself ON the plea
that he accepted the money to expose
the b~ribe-giver. But the c%oncensus of
opinion in the state is that Whiteside is
not to be believed under oath and it is
reasonable to suppose that, il the ex-
posure and conviction of the bribe-giv-
ers had been Whiteside's object, he
would have been able to lay before the
grand jury some corroborative testi-
mony that would insure a conviction
an honest nan playing the role as
sumed by Whiteside would naturally
wish to throw such a safeguard around
him to protect his own character. But
Whiteside, evidently, has no character
to protect; we have the word Of ME-
who have been intimate with him for
years that he is utterly unworthy of be.
lief.
It is a pity that the democratic hood
lers at Helena will escape the penalty OF
their crimes, but both factions of that
party are convicted of shameless corrupt
practices in the minds Of the people and
they will punish them at the polls al
the next election. Montana will be
overwhelmingly republican next year
the people will protect the good name
of the state in future by not allowing
the democrats to again get in power.

TRAINS
The Northern Pacific Passengers Meet
with Difficulties.

The past two days have caused no
end Of trouble to the Northern Pacific
passenger trains. Yesterday mornings
train was delayed ten hours by high
water, presumably in Washington, and
did not arrive here until last night at 6
O'Clock. The w%est-bound train Wednes-
day night met with a misfortune by the
engine breaking down Is miles this
side of Glendive. Another engine was
sent out from Glendive, but the two
locomotives could not drag the train to
Billings before 1 o'clock yesterday
morning. No. 1 was also late again
last night, reaching here about 10
o'clock, and as a result the Remember
the Maine" company was unable to fill
it's engagement in this city.

The Morning Post. after noting that
President Mcllinley's language re-
garaling Great Britain is cordial but
cautious, says:
We are surprised to find his state
ments in relation to the new posses

emphatic than those he used during the
summer and autumn in the speeches he
delivered in various parts of the re-
public.,'
The Standard says:
The reference to 'entangling alli
