The Republican senators will not be ambitious
TO organize the Senate when it meets in December
as neither the Republicans nor the Democrats
will have majority, but the half dozen Popu-
list members will control the whole subject Po-
tiCaly, the organization Of the Senate will be of
very questionable value. as it would fix the
party responsibility without any prospective DO
htiCal advantages. The ma iorlty Of the senators,
well as ma JJrity OF the committee on finance
are and will be IN favor of the free coinage Of silver

This paragraph was written out by Sen
ator Morrill, for the Washington Star in
answer to request for an interview. The
Rutland Herald's comments are to the
point: at has statements of fact, state
ments of probabilities and some statements
much in the nature of advice. And it may
be noted that it has more right down hard
and good sense in regard to congressional
politics-to say nothing of the wider field
as well as Senate affairs, than has pre-
viously appeared in print from any source.
Senator Morrill, is 81 years old. The talk
about putting somebody else at the head of
the finance committee because of his age
and infrmities has died out, we note We
found that talk puzzling-at the time"

A lust Petition.

II the proposed new passenger sched-
ule In put into effect on the Great
Northern railroad. the people of Great
Falls win have a just grievance
against the company. The present
time table is entirely satisfactory to
Butte, Helena. Great Falls and all in
termediary points in, Montana. The
proposed change would work more or
less of q hardship all around. but
would be especially Instantaneous
TO Great Falls. which practically has
no other railroad outlet The Montana
Central contributes so large a proper
tionate share of the earnings of the
Great Northern that the people and the
various interests along this part of the
line are justly entitled to consideration.
The Standard sincerely hopes that
the authorities of the Great Northern
win pay heed to the petition OF the
citizens OF Great Falls. and reconsider
their determination. The proposed
schedule would result IN grevious trou-

For Silver Or Against II.

Many republican newspapers are
jubilant over what they are pleased to
call the complete Generalization" Of
the democratic party. That there is a
split in the party 1t is useless to deny.
Nobody is trying to deny II that we
know OF. The Kansas City Journal
puts IT right when 1t says: "Secre-
tary Morton may have had no authori-
ty to speak for Mr.. Cleveland when he
declared that opposition to the free
coinage of silver means gold mono
metallism now and hereafter, but that
Is just what the democratic party in
general takes Cleveland's own letter
to mean. And recognizing that as the
only real issue. the lines in that party
are being drawn accordingly. Every
democrat who is for silver is for free
coinage. and every democrat who is
against the free coinage of silver is
for gold monometallism. There is no
middle ground" Well. who, wants TO
take any middle ground? If there Is
to be any middle ground" business
the republican party will monopolize
1t all next year. The rank and file of
the democracy is for the free coinagl
of silver. and II proposes to stand or
fall on that proposition.

The Salt Lake Conference.

OF the silver conference called for

to say:
New Mexico's governor. William T.

quest of Governor Richards of Mon
tana and named delegates Congress
sional Delegate Antonio Joseph, Ex-
Governor L. Bradford Prince and the
Hon. John Y. HewitO to attend the
silver conference to be held in this
city on May Is. The delegation is a
strong one. and will be gladly well
coined here as adding valuable res
tige to the proposed conference.
Governor Mcconnell of Idaho Is a
firm and active friend of the confer
ence. He has taken prompt measures
on ascertaining that Juege Heyborn.
whom he had appointed as one of the
delegates. from Idaho to this Silver
conference. could not serve. to have
the northern portion of idaho appro-
priately represented. He will also at
tend in person. and so add materially
to Idaho's weight in the conference.

are yet to act on Governor Richards
invitation. 1t is not doubted but that
they viii comply. and appoint repre-.
sentatives as requested. 1t is certain
that the conference will be a marked
event I'm the silver cause. and that its
deliberations will put the campaign OF

The monometallists seem to be an

Secretary Carlisle is soon going TO
make at Memphis. Secretary Morton.
they say, went off half-cocked. but
Secretary Carlisle will reflect the real
sentiment of the administration and de-
liver a sockdolager of blow that will
lay the silver cause out fiat and cold.
Yet, before bimetallism is dead and
buried. the good people of Memphis
and of the country generally feel like
asking Mr.. Carlisle a question or two.
1t was not so very long ago. a mere
matter OF three or four years. that
he was an advocate of silver in the
house of representatives. He was then
convinced that the demonetization OF
silver was the most colossal crime Of
the ages. Mr.. Carlisle has never yet
satisfactorily accounted for his sudden
and very remarkable change of heart.
Perhaps he is going to do it at Mem
phis.

ssThe silver men of all parties should
encourage one another" says the Butte
Inter Mountain. "Just now the tight
is in Illinois and Kentucky within the
democratic ranks. We hope the silver
wing win triumph and when the same
fight comes up In republican ranks. we
look for the same genuine sympathy
from the democratic silver men. Let
the silver men get together"
That IL good doctrine and that Is
Just what the silver men are going to
do. But judging from the present
outlook they will have to get together
in the democratic party or in a party
OF their own. when the silver fight
comes up In the republican ranks the
silver wing will assuredly have the
genuine sympathy OF all silver men.
Only there are few. II any. indications
of any such fight coming up In the re-
publican ranks. The democratic party
is profoundly agitated over the silver
question. State conventions are being
called to take action upon 1t. open war
has been declared and the lines of bat
tie are rapidly forming. Meanwhile
what is the republican party doing? II
is sitting back doing nothing but gloat
over democratic Generalization"
The silver men are going to get to-
gether next year-the esteemed Inter
Mountain needn't worry about that
They are going to get together in the
party that declares outright for the
free coinage of silver.
