WASHINGTON NOTES.

speech IdVOrluS IHc unCOHulLlOHdl re-
peal of the purchasing clause of the
sherman law. The Globe-Democrat
and other republican papers compli-
ment the speech very highly, but all
tariff reformer no good arong the
people of his own state.
Judging from the howls sent up by
the republican minority in the house
and the press, it would seem that Gar
Crisp has succeeded Car Reed. 1t
males the biggest difference in the
world about what position you oc-
cupy. The majority can usually bear
up 1nanfuily under the woes and mis-
fortunes of the minority
The silver senators have beaten the
gold bugs to standstill and the sub
sidized press is raising the cry that the
mine owners are spending millions OF
dollars to defeat the repeal. However
this may be, it is not less honorable
than trading patronage for votes
against silver, a thing which the gold
All this talk about cloture-limiting
debate-in the senat- is nonsense
The senate has done without any thing
of the kind now for nearly n hundred
years. II it is to be invoked now in
order to accomplish the infamous de-
signs of Wall street the next thing in
order would be to GcscnatiZe the SEN
ate.
The United States senate is discuss
ing the problem of endurance. There
is no telling when this discussion will
end. The silver senator's seem deter.
mined to prove TO the country that the
Sherman law did not drive gold from
the country and if the vote is not taken
soon the gold that was exported will
have all found it's way back
When President Clevela nd called the
extra session of congress he evidently
thought the house would at once pass
the repeal bill and that the serate
would concur and then he cou'd take
his regular fall hunt, but from present
appearances he will be obliged to put
OFF his fall hunt or take it in the win
ter.
Senator Stewart of Nevada has writ
ten letter in which he boldly declares
himself to be a populist. He says
There is no other party in which
true friend of the people can be use
full and adds that both Harrison and
Cleveland were nominated by the
money power.
Congressman McLaurins of So tn
Carolina is giving the polit' cal bosses
GO siderable trouble. He believes 10
c-4rrying out the pledges of the party.
He says his state will never go demo
cratic again. 1t is in order to state
right here also that there, are several
southern states that will not go demo
cratic again. While the house, through
its ways and means committee. is co~a-
sidering the tariff question. there
don't seem to be that enthusiastic
gush, that patriotic sentiment, or that
cant be-pu off yearning for reduc-
stump speakers before the election.
Senator Teller is leading the free
silver forces in the senate, and he
manages o give the ti-silver men a
great deal of trou BILE. If the contest
does moth ng else. it will pace the re
sponsibility Of demonstration of sill
yer where ii belongs
The senate is still debating the silver
question and likely to for some time
yet. There a.e no rules to limit the
debate and tae silver senators seem to
have plenty to say on the subject. The
anti-silver men nave the majority, but
az the vote cannot be reached as long
ss any senator has anything to say on
the subject the result cannot be fore
told.
