Bj Clever Rune he Is Reappoint ed Senator.?The Senate Is Non-Plnssed.?("barge of Conspiracy Hatched | In Waahington. San Francisco, May 15.?The Examiner prints an interview with Governor Smith, of Mon tana, who is enroute from California to Helena, in which the governor is quoted as follows : "I came to California on bus iness and never thought such a ^ scheme would be hatched during my absence from executive duties or I would never have left the chair in the power of the lieutenant governor. There is no way of preventing this act, as the lieutenant governor is vested with the same rights as governor during the absence of the latter. I knew that Spriggs was favorable to Clark, but 1 did not think he would be guilty of such an act in the face of the lact that not 25 per cent, of the people of Montana favor Clark." rne lieutenant governor appointed Clark, resigned, to sue^ ceed himself as United States senator and the appointment has been accepted. Washington, May 15.?At 1 o'clock the president protempore, Frye, laid before the senate the Montana resolution. Chandler said the reolution should be tabled until 1 o'lock in order to give the senate committee on privileges and elections an opportunity to consider whether any further action is necessary. This was agreed to. Washington, I). O., May 16.? The senate is non plussed by Clark's affairs. The opposition will claim that a conspiracy was hatched in Washington to entice the Governor of Montana out of the State. Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, chairman of the senate elections committee, when in formed of Mr. Clark's appointment said: UI reckon the trick won't work." Senator McComas, a republican member of the committee, said : "If the report of the ap pointment is true apparently the case would depend upon the fate of the pending resolution reported by the committee on privileges and elections in the Clark case. If the resolution should be passed it would be a judgment of the senate to the effect that the seat was VHcant from the beginning of the term and we should then have in the Clark case substantially a repetition of the Quay case." Senator t/affery, of Louisiana, a democratic member of the com TTiittee, concurred with Senator McComas, as did Senator Jones, democrat, of Arkansas. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island said that Senator Clark had made a mis take in petting the appointment. Senator Butler, populist, said : ' I don't think that the senate can refuse to seat Mr. Clark, according to all precedents in vacancies V. : o? ? ?- ? " mino n i unip,iiiti Kill IH inrilHTWI.

Postmaster Thompson's A<1 illusions of Irregularities and How he Concealed Them, Havana, May 16.?Postmaster Thompson, of the Havana local office, has signed a sworn state ment in which he says 'on Sept. 16th last being in need of money 1 took from money order funds $435, giving a memorandum as a receipt for same." When the inspector held an examination a clerk in the money order department placed remittances .received that day, which would not have to be accounted for until the following day, sufficient to cover the amount of the receipt, which was 'herewith withdrawn until af?er the inspection. This was k< pt up until April 27th when special agents unexpectedly discovered the receipt which Thompson then paid. He also admits that Chas. F.

Thompson admits other irregularities in con nection with the department. Kerahaw Letter. Kershaw, S. C., May 16, 1000. Mr. Editor:?A political party has been organized in South Car olina that call themselves the "Prohibition Party." They pro pose to prohibit the use or sale of intoxicants. Their contention is that if intoxicants were net sold or used, the crime of drunkenness could not be committed. We might say the same of gluttons. If food were not used the crime of gluttony could not be committed. Hut who would con tend that all the people of the world should be deprived of food I and perish because a lew eat toe much and become gluttons ? Nc sane man will contend that the moderate use of liquor is a crime But reasonable persons will admit, that spirituous liquors are beneficial medicinally, and have been used ever since the dawn ol the christian era for such pur poses. In Proverbs xxxi, 6. It Bays?"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts; let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more." The Bible pre scribes wine for man's use. This political party prohibits it. Whom shall we obey ? The teach ings of the Bible or the mandates of the Prohibitionists ? Suppose we adopt the latter in preference to the former. How are we tc enforce a law which prohibits the sale of liquor??an article which probably j or 9-lOthsof the peo pie use. It's well known thai the county officers would nol enforce it. From 18811 to 188f Barnwell was a prohibition conn ly. Numerous cases of violation of the law were brought before the grand jury; in nearly everv case the indictments were thrown out. The result was that in 188f the law was repealed because il could not be enforced. Some sa> it can be enforced by the same means that the dispensary law if enforced.
