and the party In power gets the ben

Montana is forfree silver still, but
the electoral votes are in the east.
Other issues have arisen also upon
which there Is no unanimity of opin-
Ion among democrats or republicans.
Az inr as the expansion question is
concerned. IL seems to me that
the oyerw helmiDg sentiment OF the
country is To hold what we have ac-
CURED. We must extend our COM
merce or get left In the race. The
most magnificent opportunity for
such extension Is presented through
our ownership of the Philippines.

Great Falls LeaderI
A. j. Shores, formerly Of Minneap-
oils, now general counsel for the
Great Northern road at Great
Falls, Mont., IL at the West hotel,
says the Minneapolis Times of Tues
day. Although he has beea away
from Minneapolis since 1891, his
friends We're quick to recognize him
in the hote, lobby last evening, and
for a while he was forced to shake
hands AZ rapidly as does W. j.
Bryan when he comes to town. Said
he: "The all absorbing sutsieet OF
conversation in Montana just now is
the senatorial investigation OF the
bribery charges against Senator
Clark.
alt Is a continuation of the light
bet ween Marcus DAILY and Clank.
Both men with their vast interests.
have theirsympathizers. Those who
sympathize with Clark argue-and
Montana ministers have taken that
very position-that the situation
has become such that 1t was only by
bribery that Clark could defeat DAILY
1t Is generally admitted that money,
and Lots of ii, WAS corruptly used.
II WAS rather surprised when the
investigation was actually com
menced. z had figured that Clark
would prevent it through the use Of
money, Il IL took millions. He could
dispense with several millions with
out missing them. 4 suppose he IL
worth $40 5!900. 900 or "a, 900, 900. From
II purely financial standpoint. DAILY,
who is worth only $4,000, 900 or Sl0,-
900, IL IA pigmy beside him. But
stripped OF their wealth and position
DAILY IL much more Of u man mental
ly and morally.
"When the bribery charges were
taken up mt the last session OF the
Montana legislature, Clark's methods
were well illustrated by the use To
which he put his son Charles. Charles
fresh from college. boy Of q years,
hsd managed his fathers campaign
and was taking a drink every time
he bought one. According To report.
Il was a common thing for Charles
to sit in at u game OF cards and
lose n few thousands 10 some oppo-
ncnt whose influence was desired.
CLARK IL n small, Insignificant look

ears lying close to the scull, which to
me have always been strongly sug-
gestive OF two slices of corned beef.
1T Ia not strange that the influence

who are the products Of the peculiar
conditions In Montana, which helped
them on to fortune. should he 30

MS SEAL IS VACANT.
Ie House by Vote Of 27S to SO Seals
the Fate Of Brigham II. Roberts.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The case OF
Brigham II. Roberts, Mormon repre-
sentative-elect from Utah, which has
occupied so much time In the house
since the opening OF congress, was
decided today by the adoption OF the
resolution to exclude him by vote
OF 27S to 80. The exact language OF
the resolution was as follows:
"That from facts and circumstances
of the case, Brigham II. Roberts, rep
resentative-elect from the state OF
Utah, ought not to hold seat in
the house of representatives, and the
seat to which he was elected Is here
by declared vacant"
The amendment to expel Roberts
after seating him was ruled out on
a point OF order, and the house voted
upon the resolutions of the minority
and majority Of the committee. The
former, to seat and then expel Rob-
erts, was defeated, 81 to 24f. An nanaly-
sis of this vote showed that 16S Re-
publicans, 96 Democrats and popu-
lists voted against 1t. and II Demo-
Gratis, 6 Republicans, P0pulists and
2 Silver Republicans for 1t. The ma
jority resolutions, to exclude Roberts
and declare the seat vacant, were
adopted, 27s to5O.
The affirmative vote was divided
as follows: Republicans, 164; Demo-
Gratis, 9s; Populists, 4; and negative
vote: Democrats, AZ; Silver RepublE
cans, 2, PopGlists, /.
There were over n score OF speeches
today, and the closing speeches on
each side were peaceable. Lanaham
of Texas closed for the majority and
DeArmond OF Missouri for the minor.
ity. Roberts was present thruout
the day and left the hall after the re-
Isult of the last vote had been an
nounced. As he did so he gave out a
statement, justifying his retention o
his plural wives on the ground that
his moraa existence was more binding
upon hisconscience than obedience t.
statutory law, and saying there wal
little excuse for the extraordinary
efforts to crush n system already
abandoned and practically dead. HI
said he was n martyr to "spasm o
prejudice" He would not, he said
attempt to run for congress again
although he would go back hom
with hight heart, confident OF tn
future.

INDIANS MAD.
Sioux at Standing Rock Said to Have
$500 a Grievance.

A Fort Yates dispatch says: There
is much uneasiness and bitterness of
feeling among the Indians over the
policy of the Indian bureau. Sud-
denly and without any explanation
their raAons have been cut in half and
the money from the sale of hides and
the annual interest money has not
been paid them. AS this is directly
contrary to treaty, and the department
utterly ignores the agents letters re-
garding the matter, it is impossible to
make any satisfactory explanation to
the Indians. 1t is the more unfortun-
ate because these Indians have been
progressing rapidly, and were grad
ually getting, to have more faith in
government promises. g
Agent Bingenheimer states that in
t1ammatory letters are being received
by Indians on this reservation from
Pine Ridge, stating that if ypeaceable
means will not secure their treaty
rights, there is nothing left for them
to do but to fight to secure them.
"A Washington dispatch says of the
matter The officials of the Indian
bureau here do not attach any import
ance to the report of an insurrection
spirit of the Sioux of North Dakota.
They say no reports of impending
trouble have come from there, and
none are anticipated. The Indians,
they say, have no just cause for COM
plant as every treaty stipulation has
been complied with. 1t is discretion
airy with the government to give to the
Indians the money obtained from the
sale of hides, and it is said at the de-
partment that a slight disagreement,
which came up in regard to this ques-
ton, was satisfactorily settled. It is
not known here whether OF not the
Indians have recently been obtaining
money from the sale of hides.
