SENATORIAL CASE CONTINUED.

The arguments in the Clark case. set
for today, have been again continued.and
will not be heard until next Tuesday, at
which time there will be another contin-
uance, in all probability.
The rumor thai the continuation of the
case is due to a desire on the part of the
committee to maintain harmony in Butte,
until after the city election, has not been
verified.
While it is true, every precaution is
necessary on the part of both wings of
the party to prevent an unconditional re-
sumption of their time-honored hair-pull-
ing matinee, before the city ticket is out
of the woods, it is hardly probable that
Campbell and Clark jointly petitioned the
committee to "hold off" and give the
democracy of Butte a chance to get to-
gether on election day!
Had the case been resumed today, ac-
cording to programme, some unpleasant
things might have been aid which would
have biased the Standard against the
representatives of the Clark wing on the
city ticket; while the Miner might have
punctured it's enthusiasm for the repre-
sentatives of the Daily wing with a ghast-
ly smile. - ,1
But with the senatorial case in a state
of inoccuous desuetude until after the
city election, harmony, sweet, gentle har-
mony, can remain undisturbed upon her

GOALS OFFRE.

Though the anti-Clark resolutions of
one year ago were not expunged from
the democratic records of@this city, by
the late democratic city convention, the
election of the four Clark men on the
aldermanic ticket will give that, wing
sufficient strength to pass a compliment
tary resolution through the city council,
and thus take the wire edge off the I'M
hallowed memories of the dark and
bloody past.
City councils not infrequently compli-
! ment public men, when they are deemed
deserving of recognition.
A resolution by the board of aldermen,
referring to the work which Senator
Clark has done for this city, and declar-
ing implicit faith in his personal honesty
and the rectitude of his purposes, will do
that distinguished gentleman a great
! deal more good, while his case is pend
ing in the senate, than last years resolu-
| ton did him harm.

manic candidates, the Standard is heap

4 QUESTION OF FIDELITY.

In it's earnest desire to entrench and
racy in the city politics of Butte, and
thereby give it more beverage in the
control of the democratic party through
out the state, the Anaconda Standard
the election of the aldermanic candidates
of it's party. 1t says:
The democratic candidates commend
themselves to the public as men of INTEL
ligence, integrity and fidelity, and there
fore should be elected.
Having paid substantially the same
compliment to the republican m line
the foregoing has no particular signif-
canoe, aside from the reference to the
fidelity Of the gentleman named. In
touching upon the honesty and integrity
of the republican candidates, the Stand
ard said nothing about their fidelity"
whereas that additional virtue is attrib-
uted to the democratic nominees.
In imputing the quality of fidelity to
the democratic aspirants for a%ldermanic
uOIlOIS, Tie otdiludIu uOeS not speak
without knowledge of the situation. It
knows that the fidelity of four of them
to the CLARK interests cannot be question:
ed, while the fidelity of the other four
to the DAILY interests is equally pronounce
ed. During the long drawn months of
the past, when every possible effort was
made to break down the standing and
effect the ruin of Mr.. Clark and his
friends, and turn the public against
them, the four DAILY men on the alder
manic ticket exhibited a fidelity to the
promoters of that work that was limit
ed only by the scope of their influ-
ence; while the four Clark men worked
with like vigor to show tina the real Gull
prits in the cas- were Mr.. DAILY and his
friends, thus establishing a reputation
for fidelity second to none.
Being on a level with the republican
candidates, according to the Standard
insofar as honesty is concerned, it would
seem that the only claim of superiority
which can be made for the democratic
nominees is their ~well-developed 'fidel.
fty." 1t is this quality which endears thu
four Clark men on the ticket to thu
Standard; and doubtless causes the ard.
ent affection which the Miner betrays 70,
the DAILY men on the ticket.

THEIR w MERITS.

In discussing it's Butte aldermanic cam
didates this morning, the Anaconda
Standard says:
These candidates must stand or fall on
their own merits and popularity. They
are no worse or no better because Clark
bought his seat: they are no worse or no
better if Clark keeps it or if he doesn't.
If nothing is involved in the city cam
paign beyond the personal merits of the
candidates. why did the democratic party
express dissatisfaction with the work of
the republican city convention and put up
another aldermanic ticket, when the
Standard has no h%esitency in expressing
the belief that the republican nominees
are honest men? Why did the democratic
convention adopt a platform containing
national questions, as we'll as local poll
cies of government, if nothing was in is
sue but the personal merits of the candi-
dates? If the candidates are to stand or
fall on their WI merits and popularity"
why burden them with platform pledges?
Why place them on a platform which
declares that the republican party is in
juring the state of Montana, and thus
compel them to show that the democratic
party has not lone it's full hare of work
In that direction? Why turn down a
resolution in favor of the six o'clock clos
ing movement, and thus pledge them
against that proposition? Why endorse a

cratic paper, since it whipped the Stand

How can candidates stand or fall on
their own merits and popularity" when
tically outlines the course they must
pursue as the accredited agents of the
party which placed them in nomination?
DO they not represent the platform, which
is created as a definition of their views
by the same power that made them the
nominees of their party? If so, do not the
Ill
thing beside their own personality? Can
their candidates. be disassociated from
the platform Of principles upon which
they stand? What is a platform of princi-
pies for?
AS a matter of fact, when the demo-
ocratic city convention introduced ma
tional and state politics into the cam
paign through its platform declarations,
it placed it's candidates before the public
as it's representatives of the views ex-
pressed. and demanded support for them
by reason of that action. It ill-becomes
the Standard and the Miner, then. to
seek to evade a discussion of the uues-
lions pertinent to the issues raised. name
~, the merits and dement's Of the re-
spectlVe parties as they affect this city
and state. If they fear a discussion Of
the facts along the lines invited by the
platform upon which their aldermanie
candidates stand, why not withdraw thai

which We're prepared but not submitted

candidates Ito stand or fall upon thei,

the relations between her and her
father"
Perhaps she did and perhaps she did
not.
1t is clear from the evidence so far
brought out in the trial of the deceased,
now in progress in the columns of the
Standard, that Mrs. Littlejohn made no
direct and specific confession of the
crime alleged.
1t is claimed only that she VIRTUALLY
confessed'-a kind of confession that
may depend largely for it's value upon
the working oruer of the listeners i'm

But even if she did confess, and the
secret was a good enough n to Keep
while the woman was alive. it was good
enough to keep while she sleeps in the
tomb-good enough to keep while her
prattling babe has a future to protect
from scandal n disgrace and ruin.
Those who have talked for publica-
ton in the Standard, as the professed
friends of the dead, have shown wretch
ed taste.
They have served no public purpose
whatever, and contributed nothing to
the cause of justice, even though they
have told nothing but the truth.
They have merely contributed to the
Police Gazette and other vulga sensa-
| tional sheets of that type, through the
! columns of the Standard. a story that
| will advertise the disgrace OF the poor
! dead woman from ocean to ocean,, and
make it practically impossible for her IN

| edge OF it's mothers career as it reaches

In making these uncalled for allega-
| tons against the dead woman. 1T is true
/ an effort is put forth to relieve her OF any
responsibility in the crimes to which she
, is said to have been a party.
But such an effort only emphasizes the
enormity of the charges made, and the
greatness of the sin in parading the acts
of the dead.
were she dCCuSCu vi OSllIS
guilty of the acts named, newspaper pub
licity would be a serious offense against
the inherents rights Of her innocent child;
but when it is maintained that she was
more sinned against thar SHINING, and
was not originally at fault in the matter,
then the notoriety given the story after
her death amounts to an inexcusable in
fanny on the part of all who are concern
ed in %parading the disgusting details Of
| the alleged offenses before the world.
Old man Pooley will doubtless meet the
legal penalty prescribed for the crime Of
murder. as his case must rest upon the
undisputed fact that he killed his daugh-
ter and her husband.
But it is the theory of law that the in
nocent should not be punished in order
to reach the guilty.
Why. then, SHOULD a stain be cast on
the memoir of the dead, and a cloud be
placed on the future of the living, in
order to arouse prejudice against a mis-
cradle wretch whose life may answer for
another crime?
