THERE was a caucus Of Republican
senator's in Washington, to consider the
Western senatorships, which was more
notable for sentiments expressed than
for action not taken In fact the caucus
did nothing but talk, because, as one
senator explained the Subject was too
large. No plan Of action was proposed.
but discussion was earnest and general a.
to the complexion of the next Senate and
how TO change &C. One grave
senator whose name has not been
revealed but who Is not known as
a humorist said "Wo are opposed TO the
slurs now being thrown out by the Dem.
ocratic committee, said one Of the West
ern Senators. 'and have asked at tho
hands Of the Republicans such assistance
as will enable as TO retain our Integrity
and refute the charges Of attempted
theft that have been put upon us. Com
ing from a statesman. who assisted TO
steal the senatorships from Montana two
years ago, and counted out Silver Bow
county in order TO accomplish it, that
statement is novel, pathetic, beautiful
Have these senators repented since they
counted in those four Western states To
obtain enough majority in the Senate to
pass that invitation TO prosperity, tho

IN a circular issued by lot Of man

bestowed without any result moro marked
than the supreme indifference of all, or
of the majority, of sensible, virtuous

women have done nothing In quarter
OF a century of this fast living age is
proof positive that the women as class
do not endorse this wild cranziness Of
impracticable and hysteric and perennial
petitioning and preaching that few ad-

fact Is the majority of women do not
understand the schemes Of these higher.

shown by the ministers in their handling

Public opinion in France has been
aroused by the Panama exposures to such
a pitch of righteous indignation that a
mere breath Of suspicion is sufficient to
secure the downfall Of minister and TO
endanger the stability of a government
Although NJ Rouviers implication in the
scandals was not absolutely proven, the
accusations made by NJ. Clemenceau We're
sufficiently well founded to require his
immediate resignation of the portfolio Of
finance His visit 20 Baron Reinach was
a surprising error for so astute a
politician TO make, but it may
have been actuated, as he AYERS
by motives of humanity. But, when
coupled with his personal endeavors to
silence the attacks made by the news
papers and the House of Deputies upon
the Baron, his friendship does not ap.
pear disinterested. NJ. Rouvier's resig-
nation from Office does not directly
effect the strength of the government
since his place has already been filled by
an able fnancier. but it will have the
effect Of weakening confidence in the
ministry, and is very likely to cause it's
downfall. The French people have
evinced an earnest desire to sift to the
bottom the affairs of the Panama Canal
Their excitement certainly does not
argue well for the guilty, and many
stirring disclosures are likely to appear
before the whole truth be learned
