the people to dance to, Ivy The adUp-
tiOn OF the free cuinA1~ substitute for
the Financial bill, which went
through in spite Of the determined
opposition of the administration and
the republican leaders III the Senate.
The democratic party has been
committed to free coinage, as far as
the votes Of ali the Senators with
one Wilson, of Nd. J can
Go SO, while the republican party, Of
the eastern and middle states, are by
the same token committed against it.
O.; this question of finance, the most
important in every country, the re-
pub!icans Of the west and northwest,
if the votes Of their Senators rep
resent their views, and the pl esumtiOn
is that they do, seem to be in accord
with the democrats and Farmers Al
lance, which is a more powerful fac
tor in this matter than most people
believe.
The most sensational feature Of the
debate which preceded the adoption
If the free coinage amendment, WAS
the speech Of StratOr Ingalls, in favor
Of fGee coinage. L. was more than
that; it was Il most spcciously mad t
plea to the Farmers Alliance legis-
latuIa Of Kansas to re,elvct him t.
The Senate. 1t WAS IN many respects
the best and most brilliant oIatlon
ever delivered by Mr.. Ingalls,, and
hal he not have allowed his hatred of
the South TO invelghle into a defence
Of the Force bill, which, 10y the way,
again has the right of way in the
Senate, at its opening, it would I'm
doub edly have made him many
friends in that section, whereas he
probably knows, he now has none.
A8 1t is, although it was carefully
listened to and all of its st: ong points,
ald there were many of them, against
the monopoly and greed of the grow
ing money power, were applaudcd to
the echo, in spite of the efforts of the
Senate officials to prevent it, it is re-
garded as the artificial plea of al
office seeker to obtain the support of
members of an organization pledged
to oppose his reelection to the Sen
ate, and not as representing his real
sentiments. Nevertheless he told
his republican colleagues and the rep.
ublican President, who stands ready,
1t is believed to veto free coinage,
should the bill get through the House
over the inscriptions opposition Of
Speaker Reeu, some mighty truths
about what the people will do in the
future, should their wishes be
thawrted in this matter. But it
was castieg pearls to swine. The
Republican party has never paid any
attention to the wishes Of the people,
unless they happened to coincide with
those of the bosses of that party.

Senator Hearst is SAID to be dying

Senator Quay's Lew Force bill pro
viding for the suspension of the writ
| Of habeaS corpus and the use of the
Amy and Navy ut the discretion OF
the President, is regarded as too
absurd for serious discussion anC
some of his friends say that lie nitro
duced 1t for the purpose of disgusting
the country with the whole subject
1t may not have been introduce d fol
that purpose, but that will he the
| effect.
