sYMEs AFTER
Mr.. Symes, OF Colorado, offered several
amendments increasing appropriations Tor
| the signal service bureau, and this beng
opposed by Randall, he proceeded to criti-
| cise that gentleman's action as chairman
| of the Committee on appropriations. he
did not envy the gentleman who lived upon
the Atlantic coast for his narrow-mlnded
craftsmanship, which did not cross the
Mississippi river. If the gentleman did
not grow fast enough on the principles OF
the people of the West, those people would
see that a man was made chairman OF the
Committee on Appropriations whose vision
extended beyond a few signal stations on
the Atlantic coast.
