Rescued Their Comrade.

The Royal Humane Society has just
awarded its testimonial on vellum 10
two little girls belonging to Ditching-
ham, near Bungay, for their cour-
ageous action in rescuing a comrade
from the WaYeney recently. Three
children ON their way home from
school had to cross the river Wayeney
by single plank, when one of them,
named Helen Williamson, missed her
footing and fell in. The river here is
% feet wide and 6 feet deep. Ethel
Williamson, aged eight, at once jumped
in to try and save her sister, while
the third child, Violet Moore, aged IL.
also went In, but retained hold Of the
plank with one hand. There being

they carried home their little charge
in a state of Inconsistencies, from
which she did not recover for three
hours.

N proportion to the total membership
of the two legislatures Quay is near

ditions are different as between Mon

deadlocked to the end of the session.

tempt to play a traitors part
Indeed, men of prominence in dem
ocratic politics in Pennsylvania, openly
declare that if any democrat sells out
to Quay and votes for him, there'll be
a hanging at Harrisburg; and the
assurance is added that a democratic
vote for Quay will, of itself, be deemed
good and sufficient evidence of selling
out. OF course, it may be that Quay
will win. He is a tireless plotter. But,
as the days pass, leaving him at the
point where he started, the belief
strengthens that Quay is beaten.

1t is noticeable that since the censorship
went into effect the situation in the ISL

censorship is for the purpose of hiding

public until 1t shall have been COM

would excite wonder even in Pennsyl-

million-dollar corruption fund. The
price Clark pays for votes is many
times larger than the sums in which
Quay would except to deal, even if
he could make bribery effective. The
purchasing process has gone on in this
state recklessly and with a bare-faced
effrontery that is astounding Quay

as 1t progresses, will show whether
this protest avails. Nobody in Montana'
questions Clark's intention to buy
these republicans or doubts his read
mess to pay fabulous sums for their
votes.
The situation in this state, therefore,
is not. as in Pennsylvania, a feeling
of assurance that the minority in the
legislature will prove it's integrity
rather the suspicion is that the Clark
boodlers may be right when they as
sert that they will make the payment
for republicans so high that the bride
will be, they say, simply resistless.

Professional Fortunes,

From the Boston Herald
The New York Times says Joseph
Il. Choate has made considerably over
$l,ooo,OOO in the practice of his profess
sion. That is pretty large story to
tell of lawyers success, even in these
days of big professional fees. Mr..
Choate has had a long and distin-
guished career in his profession, and
he has had some great law cases, but
it would take a great many of these to
make his fees amount to a million dol
lars, and it is probably safe to affirm
that no lawyer ever accumulated that
amount of money in the practice Of his
profession. If Mr.. Choate's fortune ex-
ceeds million dollars, it is doubtless to
be accounted for by the fact that his
big fees have been well invested, and
his investments have handsomely an
preciated in value on his hands, A
great many handsome fortunes are
thus to be accounted for.

Slavery and Mormonism.

From the Courier-Journal.
Slavery existed lawfully when the con-
sttution was adopted and was expressly
recognized in it, and not only slavery but
also the slave trade for limited time.
Polygamy was not in existence, except as
an occasional crime, and it was not men,
toned in the constitution. Slavery was
abolished by constitutional amendment
and some time afterward the twin relic"
began to receive attention. The Mormons
made long and stubborn fight, but they
hnally decided to get revelation from
heaven permitting them to abandon poly
gamy. The revelation, of course. arrived
on time. There can be little doubt that
this revelation was obtained with a view
to paying the way to statehood.

A Choteau County Newspaper Puts the
Case in Terse English.
From the Milk River Eagle.
We cannot believe the assertions
of some of the Montana dailies when
they allege that Senator Whiteside and
Congressman-elect Campbell conspired
together for the downfall of W. A,
Clark with the aid and consent of the
Silver Bow delegation. We have not
so far progressed in crime and corrup-
ton that we can see anything so ter
ribly wrong in any honest man catch
ing bribe-giver or bribe-taker Nor
do we yet comprehend how Fred White
side can in one breath tell so many
gigantic lies about one man while in
the next respiration all he says about
another is positively true and utterably
unimpeachable. Whiteside is either one
of the blacklist criminals that ever
eluded felon's pen and a prison garb
or he is one of the greatest benefac-
tors to the cause of honesty and purity
in politics this state has produced. If
his story was made of whole cloth,
then we say there is no punishment too
great to condone the wrong he has
done. II his story is true. then w. A.
Clark should assume the striped garb
commonly worn by the guests of Con-
ley d McTague. If Whiteside has ac-
complished anything by his disclosures
he can well afford to endure the abuse,
feeling confident that his actions will
be vindicated by the report of the
grand jury. AS for A. J. Campbell we
shall continue to believe in him until
the Helena Independent accuses him

were referred to grand jury, and the
grand jury was halted.
Then, too, the political conditions in
Montana are the reverse of those in
pennsylvania. Clark has bought the
bulk of his support among democrats.

/ ~ NE of the uses to which the Clark
~ bribers have aimed to put the

sort of story, submitted to the jury
by which it may be possible for
Carr to account for himself.
The facts in regard to Cars case

Carr is the Coder of the present stu

Montana has not forgotten Coder nor
will the state soon forget him. Carr

the devil and the deep sea. His recent
operations left him in condition such
that he didn't know whether he was
afoot or horseback For his benefit

bribers worked for Coder, six years
ago. Carr had to go home-suilen

went home all right; he was tickled to
death to get away from Helena. But
no member of his family was sick-the
report to that effect was a cheap and
promptly exploded Clark lie.
Carr is simply the Coder in Clarks
bribery operations of this year. And
when you have said that, you have said
all. Columns of epithet or denuncia-
lion or exposure wouldn't add to it.
