MnrneT'a opinion on this subject
differs from that held by members Of

Among the prominent populisls in

rhv Washington newspapers are al
wGys extremely oblging Ia suppress.
iug unpleasant nowB concerning the
Prominent or the wealthy. A striking
instance. Of this was given this Week
when the news was received that Mr..
w. n. kOach, who was dozen or w
yeugs ago well known In Washington
gs Cashier Of IA national bank, had been
elected United states senator by tho
North Dakota legislature. Only one
paper said anything why Mir. Roach
had quit the banking business and
gone west u start sfresh, anu that
paper said II was ON account OF mis-.
understanding about some OF Mr..
RUsch's outside speculations, which
was true as lar nB IL went. Tho mis-.
understanding was with the directors
Of ths bank, who discovered u short.
age Nln Mr.. Roach's accounts OF
something like $4,000, and II would
have resulted disastrOusly for Mr.
Roach had not rioh ihther-in-law
gone down In his pocket ana squared
the banks cash account; thus giving
Mr.. Roach an opportunity to 90 wo,t
aud get himself elected % the Senate.
Senator elect Martin, OF Kansas, IL
In Washington, but he will not present
his credentials until after the 18th OF
March. He says he has no fear OF b.
ing knocked out by the election OF
another senator, which Senator Petler
calls bluff on the part OF tho Repuli-
cans. Prominent Democratic senators,
among them German anu Brice, have
expressed the opinion that Martin will
be promptly seated when his cfeden-
tials are presented.
Considerable hard feeling was caused
by the al.night session OF the House,
through which certain SOuthern.mem-
befs h.ibustered against the bill COM
pelliug interstate railroads 10 usO
automatic car c0uplers. Representa-.
tive Watson, OF Georgia, accused
Richardson, OF Tennessee, one Of the
hlibustrfefs, Of being nc,uatod solely
by his inteTost In the railroads IN
oppuslng the bill, and for time 1t
looked au though there might 10 u per.
slnal difficulty between them. Tho
bill was not voted uIOn, but an under
standing was reached that II should be
called up Monday under a suspension
OF tho rules aud put upon III passage.
&c win Ttqultu two',hiris vote 10 pass
IL under d suspension Of the rules, but
IL Is thought that IL Wilipass.
