Of course the most of the news is suppressed, but from papers which do not wear the muzzle of the Amalgamated (Topper company and W. A. Clark, we learn a great deal about political conditions in the state of Montana. Just now proceedings are being had to disbar A. J. Shores, an Amalgamated Copper attorney, for en- deavoring to corrupt Judge Harney in the trial of the Minnie Healy case. Charlie Clark, Jesse B. Roote, formerly attorney for the Luke collecting agency, but now leading counsel for W. A. Clark, and De Gay Stivers, a dudish appearing blackmailer, have testified to their part in attempting to corrupt this judge, who while apparently honest, was nevertheless foolish in this that he let one Ada Brackett, win him away from the paths of rectitude and virtue to go The on a junket with her. interests seized upon this departure from the turnpike of morality on Harneys part and endeavored to bulldoze him into rendering a decision in their favor and against Heinze, who was fighting the case. Young Clark, with great eclat, confesses he offered Harney money, but declares he told him he wanted him to render an honest decision. Roote peached on the balance of the gang and gave the entire snap away. He related in detail how the gang of thieving satellites employed by the Interests alluded to endeavored to corrupt a judge of a court, and this fellow Rogers portion of the work, together with some of his own. All of which makes mighty interesting reading, although our Aaily press does not serve it up to us. What a great state Montana is to be sure. With its senior senator convicted of debauching a legislature and compelled to resign his seat in the United States senate to avoid the caustic criticism of official report; with that same senator elected by methods unrighteous; with politics corrupt beyond comprehension; a state where qualification for office Is either How much has he or Clark-Amalgamat- here. If he intends entering the field of politics; if he intends bringing Montana methods to Utah, we serve notice right' here that this people, Mormon and Gentile, will not stand for it. When opportunity comes, the people . will repudiate this man Kearns, whose political elevation was procured in a way to cause the blush of shame to mount to an honest mans cheek, but his work was done secretly and not openly. The people of Utah will not stand for corruption in elections any more, they will never submit to open corruption of courts. It is not likely that Heinze is an angel by any means, but up to date he seems to have pursued a course apparently clean, while his antagonists have revelled in the mire and mud of filthy methods; of bargaining and selling mens reputations; of corrupting manhood and staking harlots to destroy the characters of men opUtah posed to corporate interests. may be a land where evil flourishes, but the blackest political sin ever committed in this state is a snow white angel of purity when compared with some of the high crimes and misdemeanors of Montana. o Although reports are conflicting, at the hour of going to press it looks During July we offer special very much as if Cardinal Vannutelli would be elected pope by the college prices on the finest line of City alLeo XIII, of cardinals to succeed and Camping Out Vehicles, though there is a strong following for and invite inspection.

TRUTH has a suggestion to offer the management of the San Pedro railroad. It is stated that large quantities of rails, fish plates, or angle bars, kegs of spikes and thousands and thousands of ties are being unloaded at the southern end of, the road, preparatory to using them in constructing the line through to this city. The rails, fish plates and spikes come from the east. Now instead of shipping them all the way from Ogden to San Francisco and then down to Los Angeles, at what must be an enormous expense, why not take them from the Union Pacific at Ogden and haul them down to the Utah end of the line on the San Pedro itself? Or is Mr. Clark anxious to throw money away in freight rates when Mr. Harriman is the beneficiary? Really it looks a strange that man would let his own line lay idle while he sent material nearly a thousand miles over another road in a roundabout way.
