for the benefit of the Sailors Snug
Harb0r. Mrs. Otis attended one of
the stalls herself; she was then young
and very beautiful, with rose-bloom
cheeks. Two sailors just in from a
voyage approached her table and gazed
at her with frank, admiring eyes, and
she invited them to purchase. Holding
up some trifle she said; This is only
a dollar; won't you buy it?' No, re-
piled one of the sailors, 1 won't give
you a dollar for that, but | will give
you five for a kiss off your blooming
cheek Quick as thought Mrs. Otis
turned her glowing cheek to receive
the caress, which was given with all a
sailors bluff earnestness, and as he
laid the fve-dollar bill in her hand
she turned to a friend and said: That's
an easy way to earn five dollars for the
old sailors!' OF course, Boston society
was terribly shocked at this incident,
but as usual Mrs. Otis went her usual
way %serenely. and the ripple subsidized.

GRAND STRATEGY.

We think, so far as anything shows,
that Hon. w. A. Clark has shown the
senate Of the United States that a man
who has a net income of 81 ,00O, 900 a
month, lis SO favored of heaven that he
is a hard man to throw down. The
senate was about to decide that the
SET he has been occupying for some
months was vacant. 1t was n sort Of
Christian science device, the theory be-
ing that the senators did not see Sen
ator Clark in his seat. but just thought
they saw him. But they never said that
he was never elected. There is nothing
intangible about a Montana legislature.
His election was never doubted. On
he strength of it, and the certificate
which Mr.. Clark carried from the GOV
ernor. he was permitted to take his
seat. was put upon half a dozen COM
mittees and he has beer working on
those committees like n wheri-hOrst all
winter, and, moreover, has voted on
every measure that has come before
the senate. Having a hint from the
committee on elections that the M NJ
bers could not see him in his seat, that
really his seat was vacant. MI. Clark
set his philanthropic instincts and i'm
pulses to work to improve the eyesight
of the members. He resigned and left
the chair, day before yesterday. and
yesterday morning returned with the
visible credentials which are backed by
the constitution of the United States,
which declares that when a vacancy OC-
ours it can be filled by appointment.
The senate canno go back of that, and
it cannot very well eXpel him on a mere
suspicion that in the excitement of a
heated election he expended three and
a half days salary in treating and
whooping up the boys. The chances
are that there is not a senator on that
floor who did not eXpend more than
three and a half days income to meet
the legitimate expenses of the election.
Why, then, should Mr.. Clark be singled
out to be punished? Our judgment is
that his position is unassailable, and
that the. constitutional background to
his appointment will make him con-
spicuously present in his seat. Good
men are hard to throw down. and it
seems to be necessary to occasionally
teach even the senate of the United
States that all-surrounding truth. More,
We predict that when Montana elects a
new Legislature Mr.. Clark will be re-
elected, If any democrat is. and we be-
lieve, too. that If left to a direct vote
of the people. he would come nearer
being elected than any other Montana
democrat.-Salt Lake Tribune. 9
