AN HONEST MAN.

Congressman Shafroth, who first
represented Colorado in congress as
a Republican, then as a Silver Re-
publican and finally as a Democrat,
has voluntarily given up his seat in
congress tohis Republican adversary.
In the last election Mr.. Shafroth was
seemingly elected by a safe majority,
but his opponent contested his seat
on the ground Of fraud. Last week
the examination of the poll lists took
place before the house committee on
elections, and the evidences Of fraud
we're so glaring that before a de-
cision was reached Nr. Shafroth an
nounced that be would give up the
fight, saying, IF | we're a judge on
the bench and this case should be
brought before me | should be in
honor bound to decide it against my.
self" whereupon the committee de
cided in favor of the contestant.
Mr.. Shafroth is n Of the bright
est men in the west aud has abb,

Helena, Mont, Dec. 8.-Counsel for
the International Harvester company
Of America hRs applied to the supreme
court for an order setting aside or modi
flying the court s order of Tuesday in
proceedings brought against the com
pany by Attorney General Donayan
under the antitrust law.
The order Of the court was that the
company show cause next Monday why
it should not be enjoined permanently
from doing business in the state, and
that it should refrain from transacting
any business until a further order from
the court.
In his statement to the court the
counsel for the company said the action
had been brought against the wrong

the suit being the selling company sole
ly and not the manufacturing concern.
The court took the matter under adj
visement. The suit brought by the at
torney general is a test, and if sus-
tanned others are in contemplation, in
volving many so.called trusts.

The state treasury scandal was one

Two hundred thousand dollars mys-

revelations of the scandalous condi-

The Peoples bank scandal was an

campaign, which resulted in the NOM

newspapers printed direct charges OF
criminality and defied him to sue for
action, and the storm abated.
At the height of his career the SEN
ator even announced himself as a can

Pennsylvania was cast for him on the
floor of the national convention, which
ultimately nominated Mckinley.
1t boots little to pass judgment on
