Senator Pierce. of North Dakota,
says the Chicago Herald, is the ouly
man kn ,wn in Washington who enter
tains doubt as to the solidity of Chi
cago's banks. II have been so suspi-
cious of certain banks in Chicago" said

Without exception, says the Washing-
ton Post, the senators and congressman
from the most recently admitted states
are Eastern men, who. having emil
grated to the Northwest, have returned
as the representatives of their adopted
homes. Senator Carey, of Wyoming,
was born in Delaware. and was law
yer when, in 1869, he was appointed
United States attorney for the territory
which is now state. Senator Warren,
his colleague, is native of Massachu-
setts, where he was born in 1914. He
served in the war. and in 1858 quit farm
ing and stock raising in Massachusetts
to find his fortune in the same pursuits.
The politics of the growing country at
tracted him. and, after serving as presi-
dent of the council of the Wy
oming legislature, and filling several
other local offices, he went as a
delegate to the national Republican
convention in Chicago in 1888. He has
been three times governor of Wyoming
once appointed by President Ar
thur, once by President Harrison, and
once by election after the territory be-
came state. Mr.. Sweat, who alone
represents Idaho until the senators
from that state are sworn in, is a Yer
mont lad. who first emigrated to Ne
braSka, and then pushed further out
into Idaho. where he met with success
in the legal profession, being appointed
to the supreme bench of the territory.
Mr.. Harvey. the delegate from Okla
homa. is Nova Scotian by birth. going
to Ohio while a youth, aud serving
with distinction throughout the war.
He finally dritted to Kansas, where he
was city attorney and probate Judge,
and then seeking new fortunes in Okla
hOma, was elected the first delegate to
congress from that territory.
