that another had been named in his place.

1T WILL BE A CLUB,

The Northwesterners Want Irrigation,
and Club is the Place to Irrigate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-[Speciall-It
was at the meeting of the northwestern
members last night that Senator Hearst of
California, wanted the association to take
the form of club. He said it was an irri-
CATION crowd. The delegations from the
states represented wanted irrigation, and
a club was the place to irrigate "You fell
lows from the Dakotas," he said, awant
water, some of the rest of us want whisky"
Other members favor the club idea, believ-
ing it will bring members together more
frequently. The committee selected to get
other quarters will try to secure house
which may be used as club house as we'll
as headquarters. Those who advocate in
creasing the membership to all those who
favor the general interests, or rather the
two ideas of silver and irrigation, have
been ruled out. Mr.. Clunie of California,
favored such project, but Mr.. Carter of
Montana, pointed out that the organization
ought to consist of those men whose
constituents favored the ideas the associa-
ton was supposed to represent, and that
the men who were returned to represent
the same districts would be fighters in the
same line. It was then decided to restrict
the membership to geographical lines.
Senator Dolph Of Oregon, made the sug-
gestion that the features of a club should
be added, and it was at once accepted. The
northwesterners to-day are all talking
about their club and association, and are
confident that it will be success socially
as well as benefit to the legislation they
desire.

The Northwestern Headquarters.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-[Special Cores
pondence.]-Quite an important step was
taken last Saturday night towards affecting
an organization Of the various delegations
from the northwestern states and terri
tories. In other words, to enlarge the scope
of the unit rule by applying it to section.
The failure to fraternize in the past has
placed each delegation in q condition of in
sulation from its neighbors, and rendered
the individual members subject to an effect
i've button-holing process by delegations
from congressional sections in which con.
certed action prevailed. The truth of this
statement is exempli6ed by the success Of
Tom Reed in the speakership contest. Bur-
rows and Henderson were confident of
sectional support but failed to receive it,
and thus the east was enabled to add an
other to its list of victories.
FOB .sELF-PRoTECTIoN.
It's to prevent the division of the north.
western household against Itself in the
future that the delegations from the north
west assembled last Saturday evening.
There were present representatives. from
North and South Dakota, Montana, Nevada,
Idaho and Wyoming; and delegations of
republican affiliatiOn from other north
western states will be invited to unite.
1t should be added that our delegation is
largely entitled to the credit for this move.
The "Northwestern eadquarters'' will be
located for the present at 1881 + street, n.
W., and will be open to citizens of that sec
ti0n who will find on file current copies of
the leading newspapers In the Northwest.
The rooms will also be used by the dele
cations for caucus purposes.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Should Secretary Window, in his en-
deavor to elevate silver to its proper level
as a money standard, succeed in reconcil-
ing the silver men and 'gold bugs, 2 he will
achieve in national history reputation for
financial ability second only to the pOSthu-
nous fame of the founder of our fiscal
system, the great Alexander Hamilton.
The New York Times in commenting up
on the secretary's ingenious scheme creates
pose any legislation tending toput the plan
into operation. That is not SO. Senator
Stewart Of Nevada, who, being mine own
er, is naturally as ultra as any Of the silver
men, says that they will endeavOr to carry
out, slightly modified, the ideas Of the Sec
retary Of the treasury.
The change that the silver men will in-
tain In the interior Of the country the
market price prevailing In New York or
San Francisco, and will also divest the
treasury department Of any discretion
which the "silveI king says has too often
been guided by the Bank OF England. The
senator probably OYerlOOks the TACT that the
Bank OF England Is in turn guided by the

THE NORTHWEST HEADQUAREER.

Is to be Enlarged and the Membership
Increased by Taking In Minnesota and
Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-[Special.]-Th
northwestern association held anOthe
meeting tonight, which was attended by
Senator'S Moody, Pierce, Casey, Squire, Al
len, Hearst, Dolph, Stewart and Teller, and
Representatives Pickler, Carter, Morrow,
Clunie, Townsend, Dubois and Casey. A
committee was appointed to consider the
advisability of inviting other states to join
in the association, a plea being made by
Senator Pierce for Minnesota and by Sem
ator Moody for Nebraska. 1t was claimed
that considering the northwest, Minnesota
should surely be recognized. A committee
was appointed to consider and define the
geographical lines and report. An ad-
journment was taken to next Wednesday,
when permanent organization will be
perfected. A committee was appointed to
procure, if possible, better quarters, it be-
ing the desire of many to give the associa-
tion many of the features of club. Sena-
tor Teller, who attended the meeting for
the first time, said he believed in it, and
that the very idea that this great section,
who, working together, would give the
men Of that section greater influence in
congress. 1t is probable that the Mime
sofa members will be asked to join, and in
all probability the North Star state will
participate in the organization.
