CLARK BACK AGAIN.
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

Cedar Creek Happening.
Mr. Editor?Wo have a few
cases of chickenpox and grippe,
but we are plad to note that they
are all better.
The gardens are somewhat
backward with the exception of
preens. We are all feasting on
salad now.
It appears that the chicken
crop is not very pood. Mrs. F.
M. P. Walker has the finest in
this section. We wi'.l all have to
go there to eat fried chicken.
We learn that our friend and
neighbor "Pinknie" intends for
his seed to pet the good of his
guano this year.
Well, boys, don't you think it
is better to graze a few hours on
Monday than to do without your
dinner on Sunday?
Our friend "George" had the
best "luck," but we hoar that he
was too well impresred to tell
anything about it. lie says his
mule never did anything of the
kind before. But you all know
what the good book says in the
116 Psalm and 11th verse.
Tommy's itinerant was rough,
but you had better hot he was
glad when he captured "Bob"
near ITenth Springs. lie came
home singing, "Oh bless me,
4aint' it pleasant."
"Boat" says the next grass
"Jack" eats he will carry it to
him; but I am very sorry for the
old fellow, for he says he wouldn't
have been into this if it had not
been for the yoanger boys, and
1 can't doubt his veracity. But
the other two boy6 there is no
doubt about their veracity. I am
not much of a critic of this, but
if I were the boys I would enlist
at once and go to Sunday school.
Our friend, "G." was heard
singing a little tune, and at the
last of each stanza ran this, "No
body to help me.'* Puzzler.

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. Neeley, late financial agent of
the posts at Havana, indorsed a
bill for $350 which Thompson
discounted bv the North American
Trust company. 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. Last year it requirec
$42,862 76 to pay constables t<
enforce I be (limienanru law 1
