rhe Struggle of the Old Guard In the
Especial to the Press.1

lopecldl 10 Ine FreSS.J
WASHINGTON, June 13-The visitor to
the Senate galleries during the past week,
who has watched the proceedings in the light
of the past, cannot have witnessed the strug-
giles of John Sherman and the old guard of
sound financiers without detecting an ele-
ment of pathOs in the frequent tilts between
Sherman and his opponents. John Sherman
belongs to the old school of finance. When
a young man in the Senate he served with
Fessenden and the other great financiers of
the war period. In our monetary history
since the war John Sherman's name is GER
tainly the greatest. He is the statesman
under whose direction specie payments were
resumed. "Honest John" he has always
been called; and he has been living up to his
oldreputation during the dscouraging debate
on silver this week. The Senate is in favor
OF free coinage of silver by large majority,
without doubt and Sherman and his old
line associates have fel. that they were max
ing losing fight. Sometimes, during the
debate, there would seem to be shade OF
sadness In the tones of the Ohio Senator'S
voice. as if he felt discouraged at seeing the
United States Senate drift away after
strange gods.
Sometimes, as Sherman would be speak
ing, there might be seen about him, listening
intently, some of the old guard, sound money
statesmen who have been famous for many
years, like Morrill, and Edmunds of Vermont.
and Evarts of New York. Morrill, and Evarts
show plainly that they are oppressed by
years. Evarts, thin and angular, usually
sits with legs crossed but so tightly that they
seem to be wound around each other, and
with his head cast down, as If listening in
tently. Senator Morrill, is more stalwart
than Eyarts, but shows even more signs of

The great preponderance of Western and
Southern sentiment in the Senate is illustra-
ted by the attitude Of that body on the silver
question. Montana has as much voice in the
United States Senate as New York, and Ne
vada with her forty thousand people as much
weight as Pennsylvania with her millions.
OF the AZ Republican Senators 90 are from
West Of the MissippI river. While the great
preponderance of the population of the coun-
try is in the North and East the preponder-
ance of votes in the Senate is with the South

OF the three, Morrill, is 80. Evarts 72 and
Sherman 67. Morrill, will undoubtedly be
returned to the Senate as long as he lives.
Evarts will undoubtedly give place to a
younger man, as New York does not con-
tinue her public men so long in Office as does
Vermont. Sherman will probably come to
the Senate as long as he wants to.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.-The Novoe
Vremya invites ex-King Milan to spend a
few years in Russia in order that he may
overcome prejudices and be enabled to
work in the Panslavist cause. The article
has made sensation, in view of the inten-
tion attributed to Russia to interfere in
Servia, the inference being that Russia de-
sires to secure Milan'S influence with the
Seryian army.

This is all right. of course, and perfectly in

ance of representation in that body is in the
North and East, as it should be in accordance
with the distribution of population.
