The populists and prohibitionists of
New York state viii have more than six
weeks start on the old parties in the
state campaign, but at the end of the
race the new parties will be Beaten out of

candidates last week, the republicans
will nominate at Syracuse on Oct. 6, and
the democrats at Saratoga probably few

Some three or four hundred populists

into a company to found and run a town
in the Cherokee strip upon the plan out
lined in Looking Backward The com
pany has been chartered at Topeka under
the name Of the Bellamy Colony Com
pany. The corporation will own
all Of the houses, all of the
land, all Of the stock-everything Nobody
who will not join the company will be
permitted to settle in the community.
All Of the supplies, under the plan, are
to be dispensed from central store, all

There is too much of what is called SEN
atorial courtesy in the Senate. The sena-
tors who favor the repeal Of the Sherman
silver law say they have a clear majority
for repeal, yet they cannot get vote on
the question of repeal for two or three
weeks, because a number OF the silver
senators want to make long-winded
speeches, and senatorial courtesy requires
that they shall be permitted to talk as
long as they want to. 1t has been pro
posed that the Senate shall meet at 10
a. m. and not adjourn until 10 p. m. so
that those who want to talk may get
through as soon as possible but it seems
that the present rules of the Senate inter
1ere with this programme. If the silver
senator's were willing to let the stronger
side win as quickly as possible they would
hand their speeches to the public printer
and let them go to the country in the
Congressional Record, and thus save the
time it would take to deliver them. Their
speeches will change no votes and very

The opinion obtains in Washington that
both Congressman Bryan of Nebraska and
Sibley Of Pennsylvania are populists at
heart and are seeking, through their re
peated voting with the populists, to win
the good will of that party. Congressman
Sibley by the way, has an interesting DO
Itical history. The Philadelphia Record
says he began his political career as a
hide bound republican, has boxed the
political compass. and if there is a party
to which he has not belonged, it is one he
never heard of. In his congressional
campaign he began as prohibitioniss and
raked in all the other nominations that
were offered him, securing his election
chiefly through the personal unpopularity
of his opponents

An Opportunity Thrown Away.

To call attention to a lost opportunity
is thankless work; nevertheless, as the
MORNING News urged Georgia and the
other southern states to make adequate
exhibits at the worlds fair, it feels con
strained to point out what has been missed
by them through their failure to take its
advice.
There are at the fair, " says a Chicago
paper, "a number Of expert special agents,
sent over by foreign capitalists, who go
about among the various state exhibits,
making elaborate notes of each display.
This information is put in shape for the
thorough and exact information of the cap
italists as to the mineral wealth, agricult-
ural resources and other attractions to en-
terprise that these states contain. The
states unrepresented will simply be re-
ported as absent"
With the exceptions of Kentucky, Ar
kansas and Louisiana, which have build
ings of their own aud are fairly well rep
resented, the remainder of the south Is
practically absent" Florida tried to
make showing, but her business men
failed to take a proper interest in the
work However, Florida will have at
least some mention in the reports of the
European experts to their millionaire
employers, which is much more than can
be said for our own state
What the states "absent" from the
fair have missed can only be coniectured
Georgia, for instance, has within her
borders undeyeloped resources that might,
and probably would, astonish and please
wealthy investors if they were only
brought to the investors attention. But
when the rich Englishmen, Frenchmen
and Germans read that Georgia was "ab-
sent" from the fair they viii conclude
and quite naturally-that Georgia
either has nothing TO offer or does not
care to invite investment and immigra-
tion.

There is great complaint that many
senators and representatives who favor
the repeal of the Sherman silver law are
absent from Washington. On Friday last,
says the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, there was hardly more
than quorum in either house, many of
the congressman evidently realizing that
general debate on silver in the Senate and
the rules in the House may run along for
an indefinite period The members who
are here on duty say it is unfair for their
associates to run off and leave them be-
hind to bear the brunt OF the burden in
watching the movements of the free silver
men. The latter are alert and ready to
take any advantage that may present
itself. The repeal congressman by their
absence encourage the free silver men in
the Senate to insist upon their unreason-
able course of delay. There are many
congressman who come to Washington on
the first day of the session and remain
constantly in attendance. There are 9th
ers who appear and qualify, and then are
never heard of again until some important
occasion arises and their votes are
needed. There is a long and constantly
growing list of 'do-nothing' cungressmen. -
Controller of the Currency Eckels is
sure that the financial depression will be
dissipated more rapidly than it grew. Il
believe says he, the recovery from the
financial depression will be more rapid
than the people have ever witnessed be-
fore. Conditions are favorable all over
the country" He calls attention to the
fact that there has been a net increase of
10000 600 in the circulation of national
bank notes during the depression, and
says nearly 30 per cent. of the suspended
banks will resume business.

Last night marked the beginning of the end

series, and the race for the last place. or rather
to get away from the last place in the tourna-
ment. was interesting one. The regular as
signment was composed Of Mason and Harvey,
but DIR. Harris moved up out of his assignment
and took hand in the contest. Mason, who
has had the proud honor of holding down last
place. bowled himself out of that place and sur
prised himself and friends by making the high
est score of the evening" having $50 pins to his
credit. He also led with 167 IS his best score
made twice in his second and fourth strings, re-
spectively.
Harvey bow!ed steadily, hut he was unlucky,
a number of bad splits keeping his score down
Considering the very short time in which he
has been bowling he is doing very well and has
nothing be ashamed of. He will make some Of
the better ones stand around next season.
DIR. Harris BOWED his usual careful game and
he led the others in the number of strikes. OF
which he had ten to his credit.
Several very difficult spares made during the
games deserve mention. Mason made one of

The American COMMITTEES and the Congress

The American COMMITTEES and the Congress
sionai Inquiry.
'K the press will only wait for the conclu-
sion Of the eongi essional investigation into the
Panama matter" said Mr.. c. Colne. who is
connected with the Panama Company, TO 4
STAR reporter today, sit will be found that not
one cent has been used for improper mo-
tives nor with a view Of bribing any gov
eminent o.icer or member Of Congress
THE opinion, however. that the congressional
committee has been appointed not for the pur-
pose OF ascertAining fraud and corruption. but
how the money has been expended. is unten-
able. 1t is not possible that the idea is to
be conveyed that Congress possesses
the right to inquire into every man s
disbursements in the land and ask him
TO produce his books for their inspection. This
would be monstrous theory. The American
committee is and has been ready to produce
their books in'order TO allay the rnkind fings
and hints OF corruption. &c. and every one con-
nected with il is willing TO testify. They do
this as matter OF courtesy, but the broad
principle that every man or commercial firm Is
bound to spread their books before Congress
whenever they are called to do so is a theory
which can never take root an this land OF per
sonal freedom and protection TO personal rights
"Letme say another word and am done. Would
1t not be better to see in the press and
then a few words of gratitude for the Panama
canal for having spent its money so freely here
in making large purchases in the face OF the
constant hostility manifested against the enter
prise. The American committee and all those
connected with it are anxious to preserve
their good names ~ any one, and this tendency
of hints. filings and innuendoes toward wrong
doing should, l think, in all fairness cease.
The Panama Canal Companys method
OF doing business in France, every one
knows, is anything but CONNIE ndable, but does
1t follow that the American committee, com
posed OF so weil-known gentlemen, should be
supposed to be ,arIed with the same stick!
Is this fair. is it honest?"''

The discomfort caused by the dismissal in the
