The report Of Mr.. Welcomes testimony,
as transmitted to the Inter fountain
from the wires yesterday, both in the
matter sent out by the A~ssoc.ated Press
and by our special correspondent In
Washington. stated that from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 were handled by that gentleman
during the legislative session. UuQues-
tiorably. a statement Of this kind pro-
duced a feeling OF amazeanent and dis
gust, and the Clark men looked at each
other as If they could see soup" written
all over the situation. But later rSxbrts
corrected the errors made in transmission,
and it was found that Mr.. Welcomes
figures had been enlarged by the addition
of a cipher. The sums referred to Were
respectively $780, 900 and $25. 900. insteRd OK
the figures originally sent out
to all parts of the country. and which
have, ere this, furnished the text for per-
| haps hundreds of editorials on the collos-
sal cost of a legislative lobby in Montana.
As Mr.. Clark contributed $4,000 to the
expenditures made by Mr.. Welcome. the
latter, according to his testimony ex-,
pended only from IS, 000 to 500 Q during
the session. From this it would seem
that the witness held nothing but white
chips in the great political poker game
which the democracy of Montana a
been playing for years. Compared with
the $40, 900 each spent by Messrs. Daily,
Clark, Hauser and Broadwater, in the
first state campaign, the subsequent ex-
pendfture Of $1,000, 900 by Mr.. Daily, and
Of $780, 900 by Mr.. Clark-as has been
brought out by the testimony in the pres
ent case-Wellcome's expenditures Of
from $780, 900 to $25, 900 was merely small
change. He can hardly be classed with
those who have rushed the GROWER" on
business principles. A man who couldn't
| spend more than $25, 900 on a Helena lobby
in sixty days, when the habits of the av-
! erage Helena man are considered, can
have little of hope Of attaining the fame
which has been justly earned by the pa
triotic head-pushes Of the party.
BY comparison. MFR. Welcome will cut
little figure in the history Of Montana. The
historian will look upon that measly Mttle
SIS, 600. and. in the words of Rip Van
| Wrinkle, write down: w won't count
this" However, Mr.. Welcome probably
! did the best he could to spend money, and
if compelled to stop at only $25,00O, it was
undoubtedly due to his inability to find
anybody else who would accept a salary

~T0N0RROw.S MEETlNe.

The democratic national COMMITTEES
will meet, in Washington tomorrow to fix
a date for the national convention and
determine its location.
Kansas City and Milwaukee are the
chief competitors for the convention, the
former claiming a walk-away, while the
latter bases it's fight IN the alleged SYM
pathy of the German-Americans for the
democratic cause.
Notwithstanding Milwaukee's reputa-
ton. Kansas City can furnish just as
much beer and other luxuries of that
type, and also give visiting democrats
an opportunity to stand around on the
sacred soil of Missouri.
Kansas City, therefore. has a right to
ton.
Under the circumstances. it would seem
that the date Of the convention is of far
more Importance than it's location.
The sentiment seems to be in favor of
fixing the date some time in the new OF
the moon in May.
An effort may be made to slosh around
a little until they get in ahead Of the
ov~er-sanguine populists, who lave laid
their plans to nominate Bryan in ad-
vance on the 9th of that month.
In default of this plan the convention
will be held in the near future, after the
%populists have convened, so the colonel
will have to bridge over as little space as
possible in making his acceptance of the
nomination from both conventions sinful
taneous.
Democratic craftsmanship will be on
tap in Washington tomorrow.
The Inter Mountain would suggest that
som very fine points Of a political char
acter might be gathered by the national
committee by visiting the senatorial in
vestigating committee headquarters in
a body.

DEFENDED HIS WIFE,

The Molineaux trial in New York is
destined to become historic in the Judi
annals of the country, not because
it is the first miscarriage Of justice, but
because the conviction was brought
about by circumstantial evidence Of the
fiimsiest character, and because the con-
vict has stood high in the social circles
of his community, and belongs to one Of
the oldest and most highly respected
families Of the metropolis. Though Moli-
neaux now occupies q death cell in Sing
Sing, awaiting electrocution, few believe
that the monstrous injustice Of his MUIR
der will be contaminated. aH-'
While the possibility Of his guilt exists.
the evidence upon which his conviction
vas based establishes too dangerous q
precedent to be allowed to stand unchal-
lenged. It would be far better for the
cause Of justice to permit a suspected
man to escape the inflictfon Of death by
law. than to establish the precedent Of
convicting men on the testimony Of
hand writing expert idiots. and seeking
for a motive for the crime at the ex-
pense Of the reputation of a defenseless
omaM
In the Molineaux case the prosecution
dragged in the name of the prisoners
wife, hoping to show a motive for the
crime with which he was charged. While
powerless to administer the proper pun
ishment ITO the prosecuting attorney. or
to undo the great wrong inflicted upon
his beloved wife, the remarks Of the
prisoner when he was sentenced to death
will excite applause the world over. He
said:
Your honor will not permit us to make
mention of the great injustice which is
a matter of history, but experts in hand
writing have made mistakes before, and
they rave repeated 1t here. Your honor,
all this is nothing to what Is in my heart
at this moment. Above and beyond
everything else I denounce and despise
the action of the district attorney in at
tempting to viIify n attack the charac-
ter of the pure and lovely who
bears my name. It was the act of a
blackguard. It was a damnable lie,
Now, your honor, I am prepared to hear
o sentence me. I am not afraid. be-
cause l am not guilty.

ANOTHER HEA ISSUE

According to the Inter Mountains adj
vices today it has been determined, upon
the plea Of Spain, that certain islands 1y--
ing south Of Luson were not ntluded
those ceded by the treaty OF peace.
spadn's title TO such islands cannot be
disputed and any sennfblance of American
authority thereon win be immediately
withdrawn.
It apppears that Sulu Is among the Is
lands that were not ceded, and that the
famous polygamous sultan who rules
over the destiny of that speck of earth
is moi an American subject after all
This will abe a great blow to the demo-
cratic party.
The plank in its platform condemning
the republican administration for main
tanning polygamy n slavery in sulu will
have to be omitted, owing to circum-
stances over which Colonel Bryan has no
control.
The whitening sarcasm about the moral
deldnquencies of the president of the
United States in permitting the American
flag to float over a harem, will ave to be
thrown into the waste basket.
