REBUKiNC THs STATE.

This morning the Anaconda Standard
quotes from the Brooklyn Eagle to show
why it is in favor of the decision of
the committee which declares that Mr..
Clark's seat is vacant, instead of recon-
mending his expulsion from the senate.
The Eagle says:
To declare Clark's seat vacant will be
better than to expel him. That declara-
ton puts a stigma upon the Legislature
and upon the state. Both deserve it.
There you have it in a nutshell. To
expel Mr.. Clark would be to visit punish
ment pon himself alone; to declare his
seat vacant puts a stigma upon the
legislature and upon the state" Like
the Brooklyn Eagle. the Standard is Of
the opinion that both deserve it." No
newspaper ever worked with greater
tenacity of purpose han has the Stand
ard to place a stigma IN this state, be-
cause. forsooth. many of it's citizens have
the temerity to question the rectitude of
it's purposes in trying to break down the
political influence Of Mr.. Clark.
The expulsion and disgrace Of Mr..
Clark would nave pleased the Standard,
as a matter of course, but if a plan can
be followed which not only causes that
gentleman to lose his seat, but which
puts a stigma on the legislature and
upon the state,' that sheet will feel that
it has killed two birds with one stone, as
it We're, n gotten even with the state
and it's hereditary enemy at the same
time. The Inter Mountain cannot see it's
way clear to endorse the position taken
by the Standard and the Brooklyn Eagle.
If Mr.. Clark secured his election through
bribery, and should be deprived of his
seat therefor, he ought to be expelled,
thus locating the punishment where it
belongs. AS to members of the legisla-
ture guilty of offenses against the law,
the courts of this state have sufficient
judicial capacity to deal with them. pro-
| vided the Standard, which is perfectly
familiar with their crimes, will give the
! necessary information to the proper Off
GERS. But we deny that the people of
this state deserve to have a stigma
placed upon them, because The demo-

with, personal contempt. The Flathead
statesman is known to have received a
bride of 81, 100 to vote for the corpora
ton bill. which was backed by the Ana
conda Standard, thus showing that he
violated the laws of his country in adj
dition to the political fidelity which he
owed to the party that elected him. With
Mr.. Long and others, however. the dis
position seems to be to establish a prece-
dent in favor of party fealty on the
part of those elected to office. which will
hereafter be more honored in the OBJ
servance than in the breach.

cratic party has abused the confidence
that was reposed in it.
The people elected a democratic legis-
lature in good faith. under the most posi-
tive promises of retrenchment and re-
form. For this error of Judgment they
nave already reaped an abundant har-
vest of extravaganza, scandal and disre-
pute. but it does not follow that because
the fruits of a democratic legislature are
thrown out of the basket our well-in-
II citizens should have a observed
stigma placed upon them. The Standard
hopes to so distribute the responsibility
for it's W nefarious political work
among the people that the democratic
party. per Sc, may escape the censure to
which it is undeniably entitled. To this
end it welcomes a rebuke to the COM
monwealth quite as much as it does a
rebuke to Senator Clark.

In common with other of

ribly worried over the fact that several
dead Filipinos are reported as the net
results of the campaign in the Philippines
last week.
indicate that no Americans were killed
in these guerilla aids upon the federal
outposts.
Had the thousand dead and wounded
of American losses, the copperhead
press could have announced-as former
ly-that Aguinaldo was demonstrating
that he had a republic and knew how
to run it!
But to have a gang of marauders re-
pulsed, and a goodly number of them
killed, without injury to the interests of
the American republic, and consequently
without any damaging results to a re-
publican administration, is more thar
the bourbon press can stand!
1t is really sickening to note the avid
ity with which these unpatriotic organs
seize upon every evidence of native dis
content as if it was the calculation of
some great principle.
Every guerilla expedition, naturally re-
sulting from the conditions growing out
of the war, is heralded as a hopeful sign
that the rebellion has not been quelled!
Nothing is more pleasing to these cop

natives. especially IL the American troops
have suffered to any considerable extent
from the encounter.
A dearly bought victory by the federal
troops is always paraded as a mistake
on the part of this government that is
tantamount to a crime, While a triumph
that is characterized by disaster alone to
the enemy is pictured as national muir
der.
1t is hare work to satisfy these Jour-
nalistic rear-batteries Of Aguinaldo
with any development which the situa-
ton may bring out.
Were out troops driven into the sea
and our flag trailed in the dust, and
A~guinaldo enthroned as the noblest ban-
dit of them all, the democratic press
would doubtless feel that peace Of mind
which passeth all understanding.
But the shooting of a gang of guer-
illas. without federal loss, leads the An
aconda Standard to point it's editorial
finger at the United States and yell

REBJKINC ~DEL/NQUEN7S.

Over and over again the Anaconda
Standard has pointed to the fact that
several republican legislators voted for
w. \. Clark, as evidence that that party
must share with the democracy the re-
sponsibility of the scandals which have
afflicted our state. With the democrats
in an overwhelming majority in that
body, and capable of directing it's affairs
republican members, the attempt to
hold the republican party responsible
for any of it's acts-good, bad or indiffer-
ent-is the height of illogic. No one un-
derstands this better than the Standard,
for If a small republican minority is re-
sponsible for any act deemed imprudent
it is entitled to equal credit for the pass
age of any act of special value to the
state, to which it's votes may have been
given. The democracy would not for one
moment accredit the republican party
With the passage of any measure deemed
meritorious, when the bourbons had SUI
preme control of the legislature, and the
same rule should apply in matters thai
may provoke the criticism of the public.
Insofar as the republican minority vote
in the legislature is concerned, in the
Clark case, it must rest upon the per-
%sonality of the men themselves. AS the
Inter Mountain has heretofore observed,
the republicans who voted for a demo-
cratic candidate for the senate perpe-
trated a political offense against the or
eanization to which they belonged, no
matter what motive may have actuated
them in so doing. The motive, good or
bad. is not in issue in a political review
of the act itself. The republican MEM
bers owed their political fidelity to some
candidate other than a democratic one.
whose attitude if elected would be
which they belonged. While the repub-
lican votes cast for Mr.. Clark may haye
been the outcome of an honest personal
conclusion as to what was best for the
state and it's interests, under the abnor-
NAL conditions which existed. or they
may have been secured through illegal
and r~eprehensible means. the duty of
the republican party to show it's resent
ment is clear. The act, regardless of the
motive behind it, calls for political disci-
pline within the purview of each mans
immediate constituency.
To this end, Mr.. Long of Fergus
county was denied a seat in the repub-
lican county convention, held last Satur.
day, he having voted for a democratic
candidate for United States senator in
