The Conspiracy" Cry,

FoM the beginning Of the Well
come disbarment proceeding it
has been the purpose Of the
STANDARD fully and fairly to report the
testimony without comment that would
appear to trench in the remotest way
upon the province of the court And it
now leaves every question of law and
TACT brought out upon the trial to be
determined by that tribunal
But when Mr.. Clark's newspapers un-
dertake to dictate to and threaten the
court by declaring that there is no case
against Welcome, that the witnesses
are unworthy of belief and that it 10
nothing but a Conspiracy" against
Clark, without the slightest ATTEMPT
on their part to prove the conspiracy,
they throw their defense into the forum
of public discussion open to everybody.
The Standard does not fear their abl-
.ty to influence in any manner the
court, but it is not disposed to allow
them to deceive and mislead the public
by charging a conspiracy and present
ing an issue which they are absolutely
afraid to meet.
There is just one way of proving
bribery. That is by the testimony OF
those who are cognizant of the facts
These may be divided into three classes
Those who do the bribing, those who
are actually bribed, and those who may
play the part of detectives and pretend
TO be bribed or to take part in tbs
bribing
The men who do the hribing certain
iy will not expose their own crime
Those who accept the bribes and carry
out the corrupt agreement will never
admit it, unless the most extraordinary
circumstances should force the confess
sion from them.

Major John A. Logan.

n 10 soldier has fallen in the Phil
IN ippine war whose death is more
y regrettable than that of Major
John "A. Logan. Of the Thirty-third in
fantry. Major Logan was killed on
Sunday while CALAMITY leading a
charge against the insurgents near San
Jacinto.
Logan is a name dear to the hearts
Of the American people. The elder
Logan was one Of the ablest and BRAY
est generals of the civil war. During
the first part of the rebellion he was
with Grant, and later he operated I'M
der Sherman. After the war he was
a member of the house of representa-
tives and later on Of the senate from the
state of Illinois. In 1884 he was the
republican candidate for vice president,
running on the ticket with James G.
Blaine. He was one of Blaine's warm
est admirers and the affection between
them was mutual. The widow Of Cen
eral Logan, a woman of sterling char
acter and, in her way, quite a poll
tician, has been resident of WASH
angton ever since her husbands death.
She was devoted to her son, whose
death will be to her, in her advancing
years, a blow of terrible severity.
Young Major Logan seems to have
been a dashing soldier; possibly he
was too reckless. He came into rather
unpleasant prominence in 1896, when he
attended the coronation of the car
at Moscow. appearing in the resplend-
ant uniform of a colonel of the United
States army. 1t was charged that he
had no right to such uniform. His
mother in an interview warmly defend
ed the young man, asserting that he
had been a member of an Ohio gov
ernor's staff, with the rank Of colonel.
The controversy, of course, developed
humorous features, and young Logan
came out of it without any great
amount of credit. But, " trife vain
in time of peace, he showed that he
was made OF good fighting stuff in time
of war. And had he lived undoubtedly
he would have won a coloneIs uniform
on his merits.

story of the operations of the army
since that time. General Otis makes
his narrative a complete argument In
favor of the careful management of
American affairs so as to avoid a rup-
ture with the Filipinos and justifies the
action of the Americans in all steps fol-
lowing the outbreak.
Much Of what he says has already
been published in the Geographic re-
ports sent to the department and in
official reports received from officers
who participated in the engagements.
Accompanying the report are the re-
ports of staff officers, giving the de-
tails of the different branches Of the
army in the Philippines, the operations
in the fields, the departure of the state
volunteers and the arrivals of the
troops to take their places and other
information of technical character.

pines until Feb. 4, 1899, when, he says,
the rebellious subjects of Spain at
tackled the forces of the United States,
who were rightfuily and legally in pos
session of the city, bay and harbor of
Manila. The second period treats of the
operations from the time of the Filipino
attack upon the United States forces up
to the close OF active operations on ac-
count of the rainy season.
General Otis says that in order to
give clear and comprehensive state

ST. PAUL. March "A. The senate dis.
cussed the insane hospital bills all the
afternoon, the third day Of the argu-
ment. and adjourned without taking
action. Senator schaller Of Dskota
county continued his argument in favor
Of the Anoka asylum and in opposition
to the county plan. Senator Buchanan
OF Morrison followed in behalf Of the
same bill. Senator Somerville opposed
cny more large institutions, declaring it
was now . question whether the state
was running the institutions or the In
s,itutions the state. Senators Lord Of
Dodge and Barker Of Isanti opposed the
county plan as not only expensive but
doubtful from a humanitarian stand
point. Senator Schaller said that the
charge that Governor Lind would veto
the Barker bill if it passed was not true,
but was called to order, as the charge
had only been made in the lobby.
Parole Bill Amended and Passed.
Senator Wilson's bill for the parole Of
the Younger brothers was reconsidered

the Importance Of the bill, the senate
should not dispose of it too lightly. His
motion was carried unanimously. Sena-
