Mr.. Clark's Charges,

N his speech delivered at the Audi
forum on Saturday evening, Mr..
w. A. Clark, the senator-elect made
the declaration that "some of tho c;,v
ollcials nave been enriched by the
blood money they extorted from the
hsht-hngered gentry" Mr.. Clark was
referring to the gamblers in the above
sentence. The charge that city officials
nave been bribed to permit gambling
TO go on in this city is made in sucb
unmistakable language that no honest
city Official can afford to rest silent
under the imputation made. 1t would
nave been fairer on Mr. Clark's part To
have mentioned by name those city
officials whom he charges with
having accepted brides, for under the
charge as made some honest men may
be suspected.
1t is, however, matter of satisfac-
ton to learn that Mr. Clark does not
approve of bribing city officials. Ger
tainly it is as bad for a gambler to
pflbe as it is for a millionaire to bribe
II Is Just as bad to bride few police
men to permit gambling to go on con-
trary to law as it is to bride members
of the legislature to elect one to the
United States senate Bribery is
wrong, wherever practiced, and it is
the Standards hope that if Mr.. Clark
is right in his sensational charges
he will make his charges stick and that
any city officials who have accepted
brides and any gamblers who have
brloed them will be convicted and will
be sentenced to terms in the peniten-
tary, where bribers and bribed be-
long.
The difficulty in the way of Mr.. Clark
carrying out his exposure is the fact
that in the same speech he denounces
Congressman-eiect Campbell for expos
ing bribery. Now, if it is wrong for
Congressman-elect Campbell to expose
bribery in the legislature, why is it not
wrong for Senator elect Clark to ex-
pose bribery among the policemen?
How can Mr.. Clark consistently do

ROADS has been great and the loss to

trains east and west between Leadville
ana Glenwood Springs, and several
hundred of their passengers are snow
bound at these places. The company
has men and rotary engines working
night and day in the drifts at Shoshone
and the officials say that the railroad
will be open for traffic tomorrow. Six
slides at Shoshone have covered nearly
400 feet of track with snow to the depth

Tammany All Right.

4 nth those newspapers which
\ alleged desertion of Bryan and
the cause of silver by Croker and Tam
many Hall ths wish seems to:have been
father ITO the thought fThef Verdict
the official organ of Tammany Hall,
declares that though opposed to max
ing free silver an issue next year, Tam
many Hall will Loyalty support the cam
didate and platform of the democratic
party as it has always done hereto
fore. 1t says:
IF Bryan is named in 1900, Croker
will be for him; Tammany Hall will be
for him. Personally Croker deems high
and well for Bryan. He holds him a
leader of breadth and force and truth.
Croker may differ from Bryan on
finance or some other question of poll
tics, but he yields him his whole re-
spect. And if Bryan should again be
the choice of national convention
whoever else may fail him, were he the
last in the lines, Bryan would have the
utter support of Croker to win him
victory. Croker never bolted and never
will. Tammany never bolted and it
never WILL"
There can be no question of Tam
many's answering loyalty to the cause
of democracy, and the cause of democ-
racy is the cause of silver. Whether
Bryan shall be the candidate or some
other leader is selected, the platform
will be for silver and the candidate
will be a true silver man.

The Trouble With the Filipinos.

Wiz anticipated conflict between
the American troops at Manila
and the Filipino insurgents has
come at last and has already cost more
IN American blood than was spilled in
the Wrestling of these islands from the
Spanlards In Dewey's glorious naval
battle in Manila harbor the Americans
annihilated the Spanish fleet without
Joss OF American life. In the trenches
before Manila from July 80 to August
3, thirteen enlisted men were killed and
seven officers and fifty-seven men were
wounded. During the assault on Ma
Mia August l3. four men were killed
ana three officers and thirty men
were wounded. The entire operations
IN the Philippines during the war with
Spain cost the lives of only seventeen
men, while ten officers and ninety,six
men We're wounded. The affair with
the insurgents has already cost more

mere must be no apprehension of
particular danger to the American
troops at the hands of the Filipinos.
For Dewey is there! And where Dewey
is there will be victory The Filipinos
have no fleet and Dewey will undoubt-
eddy so operate his ships as to protect
the soldiers in case they should be
forced back to the shore by overwhelm-
ing numbers. But it is believed that
without the presence of Dewey the
American soldiers can amply care for
themselves and take care of the Fill
pinos, too. There are about twentv-one
thousand American soldiers on the
island and six thousand more are on
the way there. The opposing forces
are reputed to number about thirty
thousand men. who are not to be COM
pared with the American soldiers in
bravery, discipline or equipment.
The Filipino engagement comes Just
on the eve of the vote on the ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty. The senate
mas decided to vote on the treaty and
on the various amendments that have
been offered this afternoon. In all
probability the treaty will be ratified
The engagement at Manila may have
no erect on the vote, but if it has an
effect it will probably be favorable to
the ratification. The treaty has been
before the senate nearly five weeks.
While the treaty is likely to be rati-
fed, it may be that the resolution Of
fered by Senator Sullivan of Mississippi
may also be adopted This resolution
declares that ratification shall not de-
termine the policy to be pursued re-
sarding the Philippines nor commit the
government to a colonial policy. The
resolution provides:
THAT the ratification of the pending
treaty with Spain shall in no wise de-
termine the policy to be pursued by the
United States in regard to the Philip
pines; nor shall it commit this govern
ment to colonial policy; nor is it in
tended to embarrass the establishment
of stable. independent government by
the people of those islands whenever
conditions make such proceedings hope
full of successful and desirable re-
suits
With the exception of the above reso-
Tuition all the several amendments Of
fered by opponents of the ratification
will probably be voted down.

with short pointed vest of white chiffon

cross tucking in silk, having a larger spot
than the foundation material. and bordered
with two frills. the lower one of which
reached to the shoulders. The bodice was

silk, marked with small dot but trimmed
about the lower part with two ruffles con-
