bill 60 over.
1t is regarded in Washington as about
as certain as anything not absolutely
accomplished can be, that the vacancy
in the Senate, made by the resignation
of Mr.. Clark, will not be filled until
the Montana legislature elects Sena-
tor, although Mr.. Clark holds creden-
tials from the acting. Governor, appoint
ing him to the vacancy caused by his
own resignation, and ex-Congressman
Martin Maginnis holds credentials from
the governor, appointing him to the
vacancy. The Senate committee on
elections has instructed it's chairman,
Senator Chandler, to push the resolu-
tlon reported by that committee, pre-
vious to Mr.. Clark's resignation. to a
vote. If that resolution, which de-
clares in effect that Mr.. Clark's cleo
ton to the Senate, by the Montana leg.
islature was illegal, is adopted, it will,
of itself, dispose Of MIR. Clark's new Gre
dentials. But should the Senate fail
to act on that resolution, it would not
make Mr.. Clark's chances for being
seated much better, as there would be
no likelihood of report on his new
credentials by the committee on cleo
tions, at this session, and the Montana
legislature will meet next January, a
few weeks after the reasselnbling OF
Congress.
The attentions which are being paid
the Boer ENJOYS in Washington would
be calculated to mislead men who are
better posted on political conditions in
this country than these gentlemen from
far-away South Africa. Brass bands,
cheers, works and big crowds are
the natural accompanlments of any
widely-advertlsed celebrities in Wash
ington. These, the ENJOYS have had
from the hour of their arrival. but the
men in both branches of Congress who
have participated in receiving the en-
voys, and who spoke at the big meeting
held last night. are without a single
exception men who. if not politically
opposed to the administration, as most
of them are. entirely without influence
either with the administration or the
majority in Congress. The ENJOYS have
received no official recognition what
ever, and are not likely to receive any.
When Senator Allen sought to obtain
for them the courtesy of the floor of the
Senate, his resolution was met with an
abrupt objection from Senator Hawley.
Thus, while the Beers imagine that they
are making Roadway, they are really
accomplishing nothing In the way of
changing the attitude of this govern
ment toward the war in South Africa.
The President will receive them. but
merely as private citizens, not az ENJOYS.

One of the most curious plants in the
world is what is called the toothbrush
plant of Jamaica. 1t is species OF
creeper and has nothing particularly
striking about its appearance. By cut
ting pieces of it to a suitable length
and fraying the ends the natives con-
vert it into a toothbrush, and tooth
powder to accompany the use of the
brush is also prepared by pulyerizing
the dead stems.

The BOer Sentiment

The visit to this country OF the three
Boer emissaries has been made the oc-
casion of much enthusiasm, whether OF
the simon.p kind or not, is a mat
ter of reasonable doubt.
The Dutch population in this coun~
try is inconsiderable, hence klnshlp en-
ters but slightly into the matter
We are somewhat skeptical on the
subject; we are of the opinion that
American politics has more to DO with
this enthusiasm that any real sympathy
with the struggling South African
Dutch. 1t is taken for granted by
everybody that the administration has
its warm side turned toward Great
Britain and is not disposed to aid the
Beers, either directly or by aiding them
to secure favorable conditions OF sur
render to the British. We find no fault
with this position Of our rulers, if such
it be, for in the first place We are Tar
from ceatain that Great Britain is all
wrong and we are very certain that the
Beers are not all right and in the Sec
ond place, it is so nearly none of our
business that only great stretching OF
courtesy would admit of our interior
ence'
President McKiuley's natural antag-
onists are accumulating campaign ma
terial whe! ewith to overthrow him;
that is legitimate: he has strong men
in his own party who will not shed
many tears if he be beaten and they are
harping upon his friend!iness toward
England in Che Boer war-this is not
legitimate but both come under the
category Of American politics and we
suspect that in this way much OF the
sympathy with and enthusiasm over
the three Boer ENJOYS may be accounted
for.
