REPRIMAND FROM THE QUEEN.

Letter in Washington Post: I would ad-
wise my readers to keep their eye on Gen
eral Sir William Butler, who, the other
day, when Queen Victoria visited in
state the city of Bristol, which is COM
prised in the military district of his mill
tary command, was expressly notified
that his presence in command of the large
display of troops at Bristol was mot re-
quired," by her majesty. 1t is long, very
long, indeed Since any general Officer of
the British army has been subjected to SO
public an affront on the part OF lhis 'sov-
ereign.
1t must be taken In conjunction with
the loud cutlery now in progress in Eng
land for the calling to account Of Sir Will
liam in connection with the british re-
verses in South Africa. These reverses
are justly ascribed to the factt|thats the
English have had until now nd artillery
of adequate calibe in the field save afew
naval guns which We're brought lip at the
very last moment by way of a niakeSAift.
Sir William was in military command of
South Africa for nearly a year preceding
the war and was likewise for a,timesact-
ing governor general during the. absence
in England of Sir Alfred Miner. Entirely |
in sympathy with the Beers, he: took no
steps whatsoever to have seigt guns or
any kin of heavy ordnance mounted at
strategic points, or even brought to a
point where they would have been avail
able when required.
In addition to this neglect, most dnde- |
feasible from a military point of view.
he, while governor general, permitted the
Transvaal government to import via. Cape
Colony, all those heavy guns which are
now being used with such effect against
the English at L~adysmith and elsew here. |

decisive blow in south Africa are largely |

now WARREN FELL.

In the old-time school books there used
to be a patriotic piece entitled GLOW
Warren Fell"
1t was much priced as a Friday after
noon exhibit, by linguistic lads who ex-
pected to become president Of the United
States after they graduated from corn
huskers into statesmen.
But the new story of how Warren fell
is of more interest at this time h the
old one, though it's ~declamatory proper
ties may not be SO far up in G.
The fact that it is another Warren
must not be lost sight of.
The late Warren who fell was a
preacher, whose standing was unques-
toned until-in an evil hour-he con-
the democratic legislature.
After he began to pray to tina body
he got out of touch with the throne of
divine grace.
Instead of reforming the democrats
they apparently reformed him.
His success in scoring t~ouchdowns, in
collecting funds for his church, was
equaled only by the facility with which
he is said to have failed to turn the
money over for the enlargement of the
glory of the Almighty.
He worked on the latent piety within
the soul of w. A.. Clark to the extent of
500, while members of the legislature
contributed IS, as the spirit moved them,
to help East Helena get religion.
Now comes the statement that none
of the none collected by Rev. Warren
was turned over to the church ~organiza-
ton for which it was collected!
A committee started in to investigate
how Warren fell, to be met by the resig-
nation of that sheep in VOLTS clothing
from the ministry.
When the matter will end-verily, no
man knoweth the day or the hour!
1t is to be hoped that he will be prose-
cuted for obtaining none under false
%pretenses; and for the further protection
of society be placed where his work
among democrats will have less effect
on Christian people.

If permitted to run at large indef-
nitely, the reverend may finally acquire
the art of working the legislature to such
perfection as to have senatorial aspira-
tons of his own.
Aspiring politicians should see that he
is properly Gagged.
To go to the Legislature with a feeling
that ones spiritual welfare is going to
be neglected by the chaplain. when one
is too busy to look after his own con-
science, is a situation in which a man
with a large business head would dis
like to be placed.
Let the work of reform begin with the
chaplain, and gradually extend down
through the janitor and governor to the
legislators themselves. '''
In this way. the democracy may sue
ceed in purifying itself before the ele-
lnents melt with fervent heat and the
heavens are rolled together as a SCROLL:

fies little to the future of the state
Neither the conviction nor the exonera-
ton of Mr.. Clark will defect the good
people of Montana from their fixed pur-
hands than either wing Of the democratic
party. This determination on the part
of an awakened public takes from the
forthcoming decision all it's moral color
ing, insofar as the inal control of state
affairs is concerned. The best way to
purify the Augean stables is to sweep
them clean. 1t is believed that the in
tellisent voters of this state realize their
duty and appreciate the opportunity to
do it.
Chief interest in the senatorial inves-
tigation centers in it's possible effects
upon the immediate concerns of the two
factions of the democratic party. 1t is
recognized as the eliminating point of
long years of bitter warfare. The no.
litical ups and downs of the contestants
in the years gone by amount to little
compared with the present struggle be-
fore the American public. The leader
ship of the democratic party in this
state seems to be contingent upon the
outcome in a far broader sense than the
control of local primaries or the manipu-
lation of state conventions.
If Mr.. Clark retains his seat, his posi-
ton as the leading democrat in Montana
cannot be successfully challenged. To
dispute this would be to do violence to
all established political ~precedents, and
to question the integrity of the court in
which his enemies solicited a hearing of
his case on it's merits. If, on the other
hand. Mr.. Clark loses his seat in the
senate, he will stand discredited before
his constituents, and the leadership of
of his avowed enemies. The decision of
the senate will have more weight in de-
termining the question of democratic
leadership in this state than all the local
influences that could be brought to bear
on the situation. Both sides apparently
this fact, and the contest will be
proportionately fierce until the final de-
termination of the case.
1t is not unlikely that two reports may !
be submitted by the committee, through
to reach a complete agreement,
in which case each member of the senate
will investigate for himself and vote ac-
cordingly. To forecast the outcome at
his time would be worse han idle, for
t is possible that each side has emulated
example Of Bret Harte's heather
.hinee and has a liberal supply of aces
Up it's sleeve. The announcement has
oeen made by members of the committee
hat the Welcome trial will have no
on the Clark case, as that body
will sit in a judicial capacity and hear
independent of transcripts from
any other court. It will be necessary for
Clark with the crime of bribery in order
to secure his expulsion from the senau
line, together with the testimony of the
defendant himself, will form interesting
chapters in the history of the great
Montana scandal.
