SENATOR MITCHELL, OF OREGON, SAYS.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who is one of
the oldest ana ablest lawyers in the upper
branch OF congress, says there should be q
financial policy established by the admins
tration on the basis OF gold and silver, and
that the silver question is increasing in i'm
portance throughout the country every
year.
Under the present silver coinage the sena-
tor says the mints and treasury speculate
uniusty on the producers of silver. He
thinks foreign lead mixed with silver should
pay duty as the mines of this country need
more protection than any of the other inter
ests. He favors subsidies for steamship
lines to especially maintain commercial rea
tions with neghboring nations. Senator
Mitchell does not take the gloomy view of
the outlook for congress that many of the
republicans do.
MORGAN AND MANDERsoN.
To.day's Post has an extended mention of
the call upon Indian Commissioner Morgan
in reference to Nebraska appointments,
which was noted in a BEE special, published
yesterday morning.
The POSTS account is more belhcose than
necessary, but 1t is Interesting. In the
course of its observations it says:
'"Ihe commissioner was affable, but there
was no indication that he intended to APP
point the senator's constituents AS IN ex-
cuse for the delay the commissioner an
nounced that he was not in any hurry to re-
move democrats who were performing their
work satisfactorily merely TO find places for
republicans. This caused Senator Mander
son TO warm up and he said sarcastically:
ri am in favor of that system if it is APP
pied all around. No one had any objections
to Oberly as commissioner, and il YOU are
not going to remove any democrats / am in
favor of calling Oberly back and putting
him in as commissioners The president had
to remove Oberly to make a place for you,
and am putting my man on just the same
footing as yourself when you were candi-
date for Indian commissioner
Commissioner Morgan did not agree with
the logic of the senator. but asked him if he
(ManderSon) intended to vote for his (Mor-
gan's) confirmation when it came before the
senate this winter The senator replied that
it would depend upon whether or not the
commissioner discovered in the meanwhile
that it was the republican party that
carried the election last fall. In
the subsequent conversation it was
disclosed that Senator Plumb, on the
occasion of his last visit here, had privately
notified the commissioner that he would op.
pose his confirmation when congress con-
vened.
HANsBhoUGH, OF NORTH DAKOTA.
The first congressman from the four new
states is here IL. II. Hansbrough, of Devils
Lake, N. ID.
The entire congressional delegation, to-
gether with the governor and lieutenant
governor of North Dakota, will arrive dur
ing the week, and there will be a general
consultation as to the appointments and
legislation for the two states of Dakota. The
republicans III both these states are like mem
bers of one family and work together to the
end that the greatest good may be done their
constituents. Mr.. Hansbrough has the honor
I OF representing the largest constituency OF
any man in congress. His district
has considerably over two hundred thous-
and population. Representative Anderson,
of Kansas, has heretofore represented tho
largest number Of voters, about thirty-eight
thousand, but there were In Mr.. Hans
Drough's district over furty-three thousand
voters who registered at the poles. 1t is safe
to say there are over fifty thousand voters
in his district. Mr.. Hansbrough is an in
tense partisan, and says he wants the demo-
crdtS pub OuJ anu ule POSITIONS gwen 10 re-
publicans. He anticipates great deal of
legislation for the four new states which
will bring about internal improvements,
making them run rapidly to the front in
wealth and general Importance.
