TRIBUTE TO WHOM TRIBUTE
is DUE.

One year ago the people of Mont
ana Witnessed in her Legislative halls
proceedings which brought the flush
of shame to every honest face. They
saw mems honor asaailed, and the
faith and integrity of our best citi-
zens broken asunder by bribery.
All to crafty the culpable ambition
of plutocrat These disgraceful
enactments have been carried to the
nations capital, and at the court of
last resort the state of Montana has
furnished evidence of Internal polit-
ical corruption and rottenness here.
tofore unknown to history.
Every decent citizen of every par
ty knows this. The subject has been
viewed and reviewed in all its repul.
sive and horrifying aspects. Every
body knows that such practices con-
tinued would undermine our free in
situations and terminate the existence
of the republic. TO say more at this
time would be to thresh old straw
But the practice of such things in
Montana is not ended. and the self
imposed leader of democracy, the So
called purifier Of politics, is today
the blackened broker in bribery, the
Wholesale dealer in mems S honor, who
but yesterday was SO UNANIMOUSLY fa-
nous. Sunken hulks of political pi,
racy are being floatfd. And at the
Clark pawnshop, the lives Of discard
ed, dead beat politicians are being
exchanged for money.
The situation is anomalous. to see
apparently sober minded men drawn
toward w. a. Clark upon one pre-
text, when everybody knows he is "a
crook among the crookedest, buying
whom he cannot brow beat, and
dealing in human honor as a common
commodity. The one who has moth
ing but his prinocly fortune and Co
lossal vanity to commend him to
public notice, is apparently turning
the wits of sensible men. Vindica-
ton must be had at any cost. Prin-
ciple has no place in the deal.
We shall see the peoples party
resurrected for the purpose of indor-
sing Clark. We shall see the labor
party, with mercenary crew, launch
upon turbulent political sea to sail
for Clark. We shall see the hireling
of the Ex Hon. w. A. Clark in ev-
cry guise, in every walk Of life, lead
ing voters by the nose, and reason
ing, reductio ad absurdum, that moth
ing is something. We shall see the
witches of infernum dancing round
the caldron, to watch the hellish
mixture boil and bubble. Whether
Jim Donovan or Sid O'Farrell does
the stirring, it matters not The
pora diSa Of fools vvbo COO rothiu,r
but what they see, will shout for the
glorification of Clark, without receiv-
ing any of the emoluments.
And now the question, will it
work? Will Doodle, brass bands,
and Establishments pull him trough?
Is there nothing in the boasted in
telligence of the voter? Will the
best blood, brain and Drawn of Mon
tana bow to the golden calf, and
honor plutocrat who is self con
fessed briber, corruptionist, and
scoundrel? The lists are entered
and the race is on. But if the peo-
pie of Montana vindicate w. A.
Clark, then Grover Cleveland's allu-
sion to "rotten burroughs" was
timely and prophetic.

STEPS To Be Taken To Prevent
Future Wars.

London, May ao.-Lord Salisbury, who
was entertained at dinner this evening
by the city Of London Conservative asso
citation, made an important announce
ment regarding the governments South
African policy.
1.-THE 'stop-the-wars' have used my
| name" said the premier, "in support of
their ideas by stating that promised
| there should be no annexation of terri
tory, no annexation of gold fields. I
never gave a pledge. / never meant to
give pledge. cloud cheers.) I stated
a simple historical fact. We were accused
of going to war for lust of gold and ter
ritory. We went to war to abate oppres-
sion of the Queens subjects In the Trans
yaal and on our remonstrances being met
by an insultlns uitimatum, to which II
the Queens government had submitted,
her power, not only In South Africa,
but over her colonies and dependencies
would have been at an end.
1--WE were forced into war by the action
of our opponents. To say that because
we repudiated the greed of territory we
therefore bound ourselves never to annex
any territory is most ridiculous miscon-
struction. I dwell on this point because
this matter Of annexation is about to
become burning question.
1--WE have made q tremendous sacrifice
of blood and treasure in this conflict
and the only certainty of preventing a re-
currence Of this fearful war is to insure
that never again shall such vast accu-
mutations of armaments occur and that
not shred of the former independence
of the republics shall remain. Cheering
1--WE are not yet at the end of the war,
but shall venture to lay 1t down as
primary condition of any future settle
ment that precautions will be taken Of
such character that such q war w Ill
never occur again. 1t will also be our
duty to protect those native races who
have been so sorely afflicted and at the
same time SO as to conduct their policy
that, so far as possible, there shall be a
reconciliation and that everyone shall
be happy member of the British EN-
pire."

Rebels Massing Outside
Pekin.
Imperial Troops Hopelessly
Outnumb bered.

! London, May 90.-The Daily Express
has the following from Shanghai, dated
Tuesday:
1.-The rebellion continues to grow in in
tensity and the gravest fears are enter
tained Of its ultimate extent. The en-
voys at Pekin, fearing a massacre within
the capital, have decided to bring up the
guards Of the legations.
The rebels are now massing outside of
Pekin and their numbers are being con-
stantly augmented. Fresh contingents
of armed malcontents are coming up al
most hourly from the north.
The imperial troops who were sent to
disperse the rebels found themselves
hopelessly oItnumbered. Several hun
dreds were killed and two guns and
many rifles were captured, after which
the most of the remaining troops went
over to the rebels. They are now march
ing side by side.
"It is believed that the Boxers have
the sympathy of the entire Manchu army
in the anti-foreign crusade; and there
Is no doubt that they have the counte-
nance Of the Empress Dowager and of
Prince Ching. IN
The Belgian minister, escorted by a
strong body guard, has gone to obtain
an audience Of the Tsung II Yamen, q
number Of his oountrymen with their
families having been cut of by the rebels
at Chang Helm Tien.
The position of the missionaries is one
of extreme peril, unless aid is speedily
forthcoming. 1t is feared that they will
meet with the same fate as their unfortu-
nate converts whom the Boxers are
ruthlessly numbering"
RUSSIA WILL LAND TROOPS.
London, May ga special despatch
from Shanghai says:
ut is believed that Russia is about
to land troops at Taku from Port Ar
thur, where $1,000 are in readiness. The
Chinese are reported to be sending large
masses of troops overland from HUI Nan
and Kiang, but the generalissimo re-
fuses to assume command on the plea Of
sickness.
1.-THE Boxers assert that they are con-
fident of receiving support from the
Dowager Empress, Princess Kang vi
and Ching -Tuan and the entire Manchu
army. Throughout the north the Boxers
are enlisting hordes of desperadoes. They |
are intent upon expelling everything for
eign."

Washington, May ee.-The New Eng
land men are feeling very well pleased
over the progress which Is being made by
Secretary Longs boom for the Vice Presi-
dency. 1t Is understood here that there is
a very friendly feeling for him on the
part of the Maine delegation 10 the
National convention; and his friends are
expecting solid New England delegation
for him. II does not appear that Post
master General Smith Is making great
headway in his canvass, and the only
other name mentioned prominently now
as likely to be put In against Mr.. Long is
that Of Congressman Jonathan p. Dolli-
yer Of Iowa. 1t is doubtful II he really
wants 1t, however; and while he Is able
and popular and very eloquent, he does
not seem likely to appeal strongly to the
great Eastern sentiment which ought to
be potent in selecting the Vice President,
and OF which Mr.. Long Is so well suited
to be the representative.

ALUM BAKIN G POWDERS.
Congress Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.

The report of the Senate Committee on
Manufactures upon the subject of food
adulterations and food frauds has created
a sensation in Congress and awakened
great interest throughout tn country.
If there could be published list of
the names Of all the articles Of food found
by the committee to be adulterated or
made from poisonous ingredients, 1t
would be of inestimable value to the pub.
lie.
The recommendation of the Committee,
that the sale Of alum baking powders be
prohibited by law, viii make of special
interest the following list of names of
baking powders continuing alum sold in
this vicinity:
Baking Powders Containing Alum.
DRY YEAST, Contains Alum
Mani by :. B. Davis s. o.. New YORK.
+ 4, b. Darl, &C. S11ss'ps ssH soet atam'
BON BON, Contains Alum.
Mani BY Grant Chemical o.. Chicago.
1t is fortunate that many manufactur-
ers of alum baking powders, even some
of the above list, falsely state that their
powders do not contain alum. 10 is
only right that consumers should have
correct Information as TO the character
of every article Of feod offered to them.
