John Bull Is noted for his greed,
For silver, gold and such,
In hustling for the coin, indeed,
He beats the Dutch.
With progress in it's latest kink
He ever keeps in touch,
In aught impelling men to think
He beats the Dutch.
In war for Kruger we're afraid
He'll prove deal too much,
In everything except a raid
He beats the Dutch.

Did Not So to Helena

f'Did you go to Helena on that occasion? ?. asked MT Faulkner, with the object, pur- pose or intention of having any one see any member of the supreme court in the We'll come case?'
 T did not" the witness replied.
 MT Clark then related in detail his con- nection as treasurer with the Clark com mittee. He said he had received, all told, S1lSO00 from his father. Of this amount he expended about $25 900 prior to the state convention, about S, 900 on the state cam paign and the remainder during the sitting of the legislature. In July last his father had also given him $14,000 for expenses in the Welcome debarment case.

 This reply caused a general exclamation in the committee room and Senator Ed munds remarked that the income tax should be revived.
 In response to Senator Hoar, MT. Clark said he did not think single vote had been changed by the expenditure of money. It was deemed necessary, however, to employ men to prevent their friends in the legisla- ture from being intimidated by the usual Daily methods.
 The committee closed the day with a re- quest upon MT. Clark and his father to al- low its subcommittee to examine their pri- vate bank accounts for the period cov- cred
