The United States Senate conf nit
tee has submitted it's report to that
body as to the righto Senator Clark
to Represent Montana. The reports
unanimous against seating him. 1t
is charged that he spent more money
O his election than is allowed by the
Tvs of that State and that be and
his agents did not make the return
of expenses required by the State
law. 1t is probable that the report
VII be adopted and Mr. C..askreturn-
ed home as a private citizen. 10
The long run it pays to be honest.

It seems that the power of the
Pre- sident to establish government in
Porto Rico is to be tested in the
courts. It is contended that he can
not do so without authority of Con-
gress. In the settlement of the con-
tention there will be good pickings
for the lawyers.

improvements are still going on IN
Lexington and the old town has
caught a very severe case CT building
fever which is rot likely to y:ald to
inertia again. The town, with Lex
ington, capital has recently been
placed in talking communication with
her sister cities by a system OF long
distance telephone. By the active
influence of a Lexington gentleman
we now erioy the convenience OF a
morning and evening train to and
from Columbia, which is beneficial
alike to Lexington and Columbia,
and with a little more regularity IN
schedule would be more SO.
Among the enterprises which are
probabilities of the near future it
gives us pleasure to mention the
organization of another cotton manu-
featuring company, the establishment
Of another bank, the coming OF
another railroad within the corporate
limits of the-town, the operation of a
brickyard, a cotton seed oil mill, a
grist mill and cotton gin, a general
work and repair shop, a canning fac
tory, the opening of an inexhaustible
bed of fine granite and bent wood
factory, water works for fire protec-
ton, electric lights, and electric rail-
way, new stores. This is only a
partial list of the many prospective
enterprises, some of which will doubt
less soon be commenced.
There is now in actual course OF
construction numerous dwellings, and
other buildings. Our suburbs are
increasing in population and building
of various kinds which are evidences
of a growing and progressive town.
Last Monday dirt was broken for the
enlargement of one business house
and the ere ction of a new one. The
contractors have commenced work on
the addition of the store of W. P.
Roof and wheu completed it will tea
handsome two story frame building.
On the same day DR.. Julian E. Kauf-
mann commenced work on his large
brick building on the site Of the cd
Drafts Hotel, opposite this Office
/. This building will contain two roomy
stores about fifty feet deep, ar d
when the building is completed it
will stand as a handsome tribute to
Dr.. Kaufmann's enterprise and faith
in the future of Lexington.
Let the good work Of improvement
continue and may these substantial
evidences of enterprise and progress
be multiplied an hundred fold.

CLEANING OF CITY.
1t Is Considered by a Committee of
Charter Commission.

Messrs. O'Brien, Taylor and Smith,
members Of subcommittee from the
charter commission, gave a hearing yes
terday afternoon to City Engineer Claus
sen and Mrs. Condo Hamlin on the sub
ject Of street cleaning and disposal Of
garbage. Mr.. Claussen gave the COM
mittee his views on the subject of street
cleaning and the care of garbage. as pub
lished several weeks ago. His plan pro-
vides for the street sprinkling and clean.
Ing and removal Of garbage being done
by the city itself, rather than by con-
tract system. He pointed out that un>
der the present system $50, 900 was spent
for streets and sewers, s51. 600 for street
sprinkling and about $4,000 for garbage
every year. With the city doing the
work, he said, it could not only be done
cheaper, but better, and he favored the
city owning the teams and outfit.
AS the provisions in the new charter
for schools take about SIZE, 900, for the
next two years in addition to the amount
now expended, the committee did not
think it wise to provide for the specific
purpose of buying teams nd wagons as
suggested by the city engineer, put IN,
clined to the view that the charter coulu
be SO drafted in this particular as TO al.
low the change to be made II the council
by q three-fourths vote so decided.
The views of the subcommittee on this
noint will be presented in chapter TO

attended the meeting last evening and an
adjournment was taken to Friday night.
