THE Senate should be. as It always has
been, the least affected and last affected
legislature in the world. by the prevail
ing sentiment Of the people. The theory
is that the Senators should be wise and
conservative at all times, no matter what
the prevailing sentiment, or craze, of the
people. But the character of the Senate
had been gradually changed for twenty
years. till the Harrison Mckinley Reed
crowd came to Washington, and, in
order to perpetuate their power and to
add stability to the Mckinley robbery,
buried four new, small states
into the Union and increased
their party vote. The introduction Of
these members is practically the cause Of
the present financial embarrassment
II it were not for them the silver
craze serpent would not have been nursed
upon the bosom Of Miss Liberty by the
Republican party-the Sherman Silver
Purchase law would not have been

In the Senate yesterday, a resolution
was offered by Mr. Gallinger, of New
Hampshire, calling for report as to
whether the Secretary Of the Interior
and the Commissioner of Pensions have
conformed to the provisions Of existing
law in suspending and dropping pen
sioners from the pension roll. There are
indications Of a partisan fight over the
pension business in which the old
soldiers will get the worst of it. The
Democrats understand pretty well that
the g. A. r. is practically branch Of
the Republican party. The majority OF
its members vote the Republi-
can tickets. Hence in parti.
san sense they have little to lose
and the Republicans cannot gain
what they already have. 1t will do the
latter no good and the former no harm,
in the matter of gaining or losing votes
to attack and defend the pension frauds.
There is no question about the frauds
Every examination.th that has been made,
reveals new kind. The Demolrats have
the right and the truth Of the question
on their side. Every exposure confirms
that. The Republicans are putting them.
selves worse and worse in the wrong. They
cannot show that any honest soldier,
who is legally entitled to pension,
will be deprived of his pension. The
Democrats will show that thousands,
who are dishonest, are drawing illegal
pensions. The right win always pre-
vail, and it will prove more and more
difficult to defend such cases as that Of
Judge Long on the pleas Of sympathy
and patriotism as those exposures go on

THERE appears to be more sentiment
than sense in the talk of the Senate
silverites. It is reasonable to suppose
that many of them are talking vaguely
ia order to preserve their precious con
sistency on the silver issue, and that
many talk for the purpose of pleasing
constituents whom they suppose to be in
favor Of silver. But the truth is that
there is nothing determined upon ex-
cept to offer various sorts Of op-
position or pretended opposition TO
the repeal OF the Sherman Sill
yer Purchase clause till each man.
for himself shall have secured
the best possible terms of surren
der. Nobody wishes to continue to
purchase silver; few would dare to say
so if they did wish TO retain the sherman
law in force. But many OF them wish to
pretend to obstruct the repeal OF the
law Meantime they have not agreed
upon anything in its place. They cannot
agree.
