ROGER O. MILLS.

The Democrats of the Northwest will
be glad this morning for the news of
ROGER @. MILLS election to the United
States senate. He is popular here be-
cause he is well known, and because of
his efficient help in our last successful
campaign. This section favored his
candidacy for the speakership and was
disappointed at his defeat. His ability
and high character are admitted. and it
seemed unjust that leader of such cal
iber should fall short of the object he
was reasonably ambitious for. Now,
however, his hearts chief desire is
gratified, and that, too, without un-
seemly personal exertion on his part.
He will shine in the upper branch of
the national congress. His impetuosity
and faults of temper will be restrained
by the peaceful and courteous tone of
the senate chamber, and his capacity
for earnest work will give him inf1u-
ence and Importance with his colleagues.
1t is interesting to note with what po-
litical acumen the Southern states Sc
lect their representatives. From before
the war they displayed an appreci-
alton of the claims of their great men
which the North might with profit i'm
itate. We do not hear of light-headed
plutocrats buying Southern legislatures,
nor of compromise candidates Of insig
nificanee and weakness being chosen to
important positions. Their course is
the course of patriotism and wisdom. A

GOV. PECK ON HILL.

AS to Wisconsin. too. Mr.. Hill is in
Peck of trouble.-Chicago Tribune.
Gov. Peck's bold statement that Sen
ator Hill is political burglar was prob
ably based ON the fact that the latter is
trying to break into the White house,
Chicago News.
Gov. Peck declares that david B.
Hill cannot break into the White house
with jimmy" For the special bene-
fit of Gov. Peck we will say that expert
politicians have discarded the Jimmy
and now use the Tammany.-Chicago
Mail.
Gov. Peck, of Wisconsin. expresses
the belief that the people will not "let
the politicians monkey with the presi-
dency." But they cannot prevent the
presidency from making monkeys of
large number of pOllticians.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
While Gov. Peck enjoys worldwide
reputation as humorist he also passes
among people in politics as keen OBJ
server of men and things. Gov Peck
has been observing Senator Hill and his
methods, and here are some of his de-
auctions:
The people will stand a good deal, but,
to use homely expression, they won't
let politics monkey" with the presi-
dency. 1t IS altogether too exalted an
office to be the prey of trickster5 and
Schemers. The people will soon enough
find the man they want for the presi-
dency. and if Hill had been that man
he would have been sought for. No
man, in my opinion, can be elected who
hustles like ward politician for the
great Office of resident.-Chicago Mail.

THE SITUATION sUMMAR1zED.

Representative BLAND summarized
the situation in happy phrase during
the preliminary skirlnishing over the
free coinage bill yesterday. Mr.. WAT
SON, who is the leader of the Alliance
contingent in the house, wanted to know
how much of the three days allotted for
the debate was to be accorded to him
and his colleagues. He claimed the
right to specific agreement, because,
said he. 1--WE represent a great party
here. We stand as an independent
party" ''We are all independent on
this question:" retorted Mr.. BLAND.
amid great laughter-and this is true.
No caucus controls the action of any
members vote. He can do as he pleases,
and is accountable to no one but his
constituents. who elected him. If
vote is taken Thursday, as IS now
expected, the majority will include
Democratsand Republicans, and the mi
nority Republicans and Democrats. The
East will present solid phalanx against
free coinage. The South solid phalanx
IN its favor. The mineral belt of the
West will be for it to a man, and the
agricultural region of the middle West
and the great Northwest will be some
OH one side and some ON the other. The
lines of division will be sectional, not
political. AS Representative BLAND
puts it, tive are all independent on this
question"

HATCH FOR CLEVELAND.
South and West Want Him to Say
He VIII Garry Out the Platform.

South and West Want Him to Say
He WIZ Garry Out the Platform.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Congressman Hatch, of Missouri,
chairman of the committee on agricult-
ure, spent an hour at the union depot
last evening. He had been home for a
week, looking after his farming inter
ests, and was on his way back to Wash
ingtOn. Mr.. Hatch was turned down in
the speakership fight, but he has very
high opinion of Crisp. He thinks he is
a model Democrat. and as much in favor
of tariff reform as the fiery Mills, of
Texas. Hatch is very fond of outdoor
life, and likes to slip away from the
house occasionally to enjoy drive in
the country or spend day i'll hunting.
He is considered one of the best sports
men in Missouri.
Beginning on the one absorbing topic
presidential candidates he said:
1.-The situation has not changed in Mis-
souri, since last January. Hill has very
few supporters in my state. If Cleve-
land would only indicate that in spite Of
his personal opinions, he would not die
tate to the Democratic party, but would
abide by the platform adopted at Chi
cagO. there is nothing that could pre-
vent his nomination. Hill could have
the New York delegation, the balance
of the country would support Cleveland.
The Democrats remember how he car
ried out the party in 1884. and if he
would promise to do the same now. the
South and West would stand by him.
We ali know how Cleveland feels about
free silver, but this would be an easy
way out of the difficulty. He need not
change his personal views, but could
carry out the policy of the party.
1.-THE West and South are determined
to have free silver at any cost. The
arguments of the few Democratic apoS-
tateS are ridiculous. If this question
was settled it wouldn't be heard of IN
politics after few months. Ii the third
party people, who met recently at st.
Louis, only had a tried leader in whom
the country had confidence they would
swamp both the Democrats and Repub
licans. They would carry every doubt
full state"
Mr.. Hatch thinks the Republicans will
renominate Harrison. They don't like
him. but they prefer the Hoosier to an
untried man. He believes that Cleve-
land will be the Democratic nominee,
and il Hill knifes him again in New
York he will be read out of the party.
Mr.. Hatch advises David Bennett to
wait four years longer, when the people
may have more faith in him.

CREDITED TO HILL.
An Indefinite Report as to His In-
tentiOns.

IGnIiOnB.
DETROIT. Mich. March p. 49, The
Tribune (Rep.) today says that Da vid
Bennett Hill has sent word, secretly,
to his Michigan friends that he is
not candidate for the presidency.
The paper declares that the Demo-
cratic state convention to be held
at Muskegon, May "a. will send to Chi
cagO an uninStructed delegation, with
secret directions to follow the vote OF
New York. assurance being given that
Hill is not 4 candidate. The Tribune
goes on to say that last week the local
Democrats sent an embassy East to
look over the political field. The first
thing they did was TO call upon Senator
Hill and ask from him candid defni-
ton of his position. This they got, the
Tribune declares, and then it adds
"My friends" the senator declared,
81 am not a candidate for the presi-
dency. l am ambitious to attain that
high honor, but am fully aware that
while | might secure the nomination |
should be inevitably defeated at the
polls" The ambassadors were aghast.
But what do you want your friends
in Michigan to do?" they demanded
when they could find voice. "Send an
uninstructed delegation that will vote
with New York." replied Mr.. Hill.
New York has always named the win
ner, and it will do it this time. Micni-
gan cannot affOrt to be elsewhere than
in the camp of the victor"
The information in the Tribune was
furnished by Chairman Grogan, OF the
Democratic county central committee.
Mr.. Grogan says that he called on MIR.
Hill about the same time that commit
tee of two Democrats from certain
faction or that party IN this state
conferred with the senator. Their
conference was for the purpose
of ascertaining whether Hill would
allow an aggressive campaign to be en-
tered into in this state in his behalf for
the presidency as against Cleveland.
Mr. Grogan refuses to divulge the names
of the two prominent Democrats, aud
declares, so the Tribune says. that the
information given out was similar TO
what Hill told the committee. Whether
or not Hill made the assertion in good
faith is not known.

WHAT is MoNoMETALLIsM?

WHAT IS MONOMETALLISNf?
The Pioneer Press, with characteris-
tic enterprise, springs a new definition
of recommendation OH the interested pub
lie. 1t says that mon0metalliSt is one
who believes in the use of single
metal only for the purpose Of currency.
A gold monometallist. for example, is
one who would have all our coins over
our cents and dimes made out of gold.
And then, with a smile of perhaps I'M
necessary triumph, it adds that there
are no monometallists III America. 1t is
to be hoped that there are not, or, if
there are, that they are safely secured
within the walls of some lunatic asylum.
A bimetalist it defines as one who
believes in the use of two metals as
money. For example, person who
believes IN single gold standard, but
In the use of silver as subsidiary coin,
is bimetallist. By an inevitable infer
ence, man who believes in single
gold standard, and at the same time in
the use of silver as subsidiary coin,
and of nickel for our five-cent pieces, is
trimetallist, and man who believes
in all this and besides in the use of
copper for our cents is quadrimetal-
list. Heaven only knows what man
is who believes that bank notes and
treasury bills can also be employed for
the purposes of money.
In spirit of kindly patronage, the
Pioneer Press remarks that the GLOBE
is still cropping in the darkness of finan-
cial Egypt, because it has not under
stood these things. The GLOBE begs
its Gamaiel's pardon for its error, and
trusts that it will not be construed as
proof of its lack Of willingness to learn.
Its only excuse is that the Pioneer
Press had not explained the subject be-
fore; and as no one else has heretofore
been so completely out of his head as to
suggest such preposterous notions, it
was necessary to await its inspired ut
terances in order to embrace them.
The GLOBE reSpeatS its advice of the
other morning. If anybody IS subject
TO attacks of the vertigo, he had better
leave this currency question severely
alone

WHY THEYDODGED.

The cowardly course of the late Re-
ing the great local issue is creating dis
gust among voters of the party who
have always insisted that it had the
courage to face even unpopular ques-
tons. There is no question in the pol
iticS of the state that has such intense
and pervading interest for its people as
the measure now waiting the action of
the lower house. Even the presiden-
tial election is of minor Importance in
comparison. The last two elections
where this question was at the front
have drawn out the vote more fully than
ever before in the history of the state.
An emphatic expression by the Re-
has uniformly given for years
past would determine the fate
of the bill before the legislature. But
instead of resolving to stand by the
cause as heretofore, it is passed by in
profound silence. The explanation is
palpable, The prohibitionists were in
the large majority, but willing to tenn
porize to save the party by not making
any new declarations. as the former
ones had never been modified, but
would not tolerate any exhibition of
hostility to the law. They held out the
threat that any adverse attempts would
force them to go out with $4,000 votes
and leave no hope of carrying the state
for president. The men who wanted
the CATCH bill to become law did not
dare to chirp. They wilted down to save
the party. The action of the conven-
ton was virtual declaration to the
liberal Republicans who have been vot-
ing with the Democrats the past few
years that they can come back for this
year and be counted as loyal. 1t is not

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The entire
session of the cabinet today was con-
sumed in consideration OF the Behr-
ing sea question. Lord Salis5ury's
reply to Mr. Wharton's note of the Sth
inst, insisting upon a renewal of the
moduS viyendi for the present season,
was read and formed the basis of the dis
cusSlon. The utmost reticeence is main
tanned by the members of the cabinet
as to the contents of Lord Salisbury's
note, yet there is reason to believe that
1t is unsatisfactory to this government.
The position announced in Mr. Whar-
toms note of the Sth inst. is not. in the
opinion of the president and his cabinet,
successfully contrOverted.
Lord Salisbury's reply as to the main
point is said to be indecisive, and al
though he contends against the renew
al, he does not commit himself SO far as
to decline to give his assent to it. There
is also reason to believe that Lord Sails
bury suggests, as a condition precedent
to any modus vivendi that might be
established between the two govern
ments, that the United States should
obligate itself to indemnify Canadian
vessel owners for any losses sustained
by them, in the event that it is decided
by the commissioners of arbitration
that the United States has no right to
prevent pelagic sealing.
