PROBE INTO CLARK CONTEST.
Witnesses Will Be Summoned From
Montana TO Testify.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Chandler. chairman of the senate
committee on privileges and elections
said to-day that the committee would
begin its formal inquiry into the cor
test over the seat of Senator Clark oil
Montana on Friday, Jan. D Coun.
sci on both sides of the controversy
will be heard on that date and they
will be followed on Saturday and
Monday by the witnesses for the com
plainants. OF these about twenty
have been requested by kilograms to
appear at the time mentioned. At
ter these have been heard, it is under
stood that the defense will name the
witnesses which it may desire to have
heard in rebuttal
The indications are that the hear
ing in the case will consume consider
able time Several Montanans have
indirated a willingness to come to
Washington to testify but the com
mittee is determined to hold the list
down to as narrow limits as possible,
because of the expense of bringing
persons so great a distance.
Among those who probably will be
asked to attend are number of
members of the legislature whose
names have been mentioned in con-
nection with the charges of bribery
in the case
The first point taken upfor inquiry
will be the charge that thirty bills of
81 900 each were presented to one
man to secure his support of Mr..
Clark. The counsel for the prosecu-
ton includes ex-senator Edmunds,
Representative Campbell of Montana,
ex-Representative Hartman of Mon
tana and Hon. Jere Wilson of this
city. Former United States Senator
Faulkner of West Virginia is so far
the only counsel of record in behalf
of Mr.. Clark.

The treasury-Wall street scandal
is to have an early airing. Congress
wants to know the why and where
fore of Secretary Cages deal with the
National City bank of New York. AS
soon as congress reconvenes resolu-
tions will be presented looking to an
investigation of the deal The reso-
lutions will ask for a committee to
enquire into the arrangement where
by all the government collections
from internal revenue taxation are
placed in the National City bank,
thus giving it princely gift at the
government s expense. The endeavor
to give publicity to administration
chickering's with Wall street may be
smothered by the republican majori-
ty. Speaker Henderson may WELD
the caucus whip at administration
behest and prevent any congressional
inquiry. But the democratic minor
ity will be able IN the brief time allow
ed for debate to drive home some
pertinent facts. That is all they can
expect to accomplish in the chouse
under the Reed rules. That will be
enough, however, to show the coun-
try how completely Wall street DOM
mates the national treasury under
present management and how Secre-
tary Gage stands alertly eager to
obey its beck and nod.
Whether it be true that the secre-
tary will later become president of
the gigantic institution which just
now does what it likes with the tax
raised money of the nation. is aques-
ton for the future. He denies it now;
that, too, is matter for the future
to settle finally.

place himself in a position where his
friends may impose on him, by re-
questing them or allowing them to
bond him for the faithful discharge of
a public trust.
The sufflcency of the security of a
bond signed only by individuals, is at
the best problematical, for men who
are willing, for political or other rea-
sons, to become surety on the bonds
of their friends are worthy, financially
just what the men whom they bond
choose to make them worth. A man
may own forty thousand dollars worth
of real estate, yet if, in the goodness
of his heart, and in disregard of the
best interests of those dependent on
him, he places his name as surety, on
bonds for several of his friends, to
the amount of fifty thousand dollars,
the value of his signature to an ad.
ditional bond is dependent entirely on
the integrity of the friends whom he
has previously bonded, and the State
of Maryland would not be justified in
in accepting his name as surety fol
one hundred dollars.
The bill is one that should become
law; it can work a hardship on nc
one, will increase the efficiency of the
public service, and will relieve many

duty of refusing to become surety or

FINANCE ELL.

On Wednesday of last week the

Finance Bill which has been pending
for some time. The amendments
adopted allow an open door for inter

grains of gold, nine-tenths fine, shall
be the standard unit of value and
that all forms of the United States
money shall be maintained at a
parity with it, and that Treasury
notes and greenbacks shall be re-
deemable in gold.
The Secretary of the Treasury is to
SET apart fund of $3.50, ZOO, 900 in gold
for the redemption of these notes and
to maintain this fund at figure not
below 500, 900, 900 he is empowered to
sell bonds of the United States, bear
ing interest at not exceeding per
cent.
1t shall also be the duty of the

CORPORATE BoNbS FOR PUBLIC
OFFICIALS

The bill recently introduced in tie
Senate by Senator Williams, requir-
ing all public officials of the State to
furnish corporate bonds for the faith
full discharge of their duties. instead
of individual bonds, should be
enacted.
During recent years the number of
bonding companies has increased
rapidly, and at the low premiums now
demanded for corporate surety, it is
a question whether any individual
should ask his friends to become sure
ty on his bond, whether the bond is
to insure the faithful discharge of a
private or public trust.
The man who asks this favor of his
friends places himself in q position
where he cannot consistently refuse
to return the favor when any of his
friends, who have placed their names
on his bond, find it necessary to
furnish a bond. And the situation is
not changed, even though his friends
volunteer to go on his bond. When
the occasion arises, he in turn is ex-
pected to volunteer.
When man furnishes corporate
surety, he pays for what he receives,
and is under obligations to no one
There is never any question as to the
sutficiency of the security, and the
bonding companies, whose business it
is to look after their own interests,
keep a close watch ON the methods
and acts Of the individual whom they
bond, and thus remove the tempta-
ton of a careless or negligent dis
charge of the trust. The individual
who gives corporate surety knows full
we'll that he cannot shield himself at
the expense of indulgent friends if he
is faithless to the trust imposed on
him.
The Postal authorities, as we'll as
many other departments of the U. s.
Government, will accept nothing but
corporate surety from it's officials, and

would be for the best interests, both
of the State and OF the men who are
entrusted with public office.
Many a man is placed in the posi-
tion, when requested by friend to
put his name on his bond, either of
making an enemy of him, or of signing

ty which his duty to himself and his
family does not warrant.
The State will receive better service
by requiring all its officials to furnish
corporate security for the faithful dis
charge of the trust imposed on them
and no rational argument can be pro-
duced to prove that any man has a
right to impose on his friends, or to
