False Credentials.

Mr.. Reese, of Alabama, who took the
negro John Washington 10 the Federal
Capitol I'm order to let the Republicans
in the two houses OF Congress see what
sort OF officers are appointed In his State
10 represent the Republican party
IN holding elections. has made 1t
known that he is after Senator
Morgan's seat. In the United States
Senate on Friday last Mr.. Allen, a Popu-
list from Nebraska, had the impudence to
present what he styled the credentials
of Warren s. Reese as senator-elect from
the State OF Alabama
This Is a free country. and there ought
10 be here the fullest liberty OF speech
and action consistent with the duties
which a citizen OF this great country owes
A.. But Mr.. Reese has no color of title TO
10 the seat in the United States Senate
which he claims. and yet his credentials
certify that on the 18th OF November last
he was duly elected by the Legislature
of Alabama a senator 10 represent said
State In the Senate OF the United States
for ak years from March 4, 1895. These
credentials were signed by a usurping
Governor. as the election. II 1t ever &C.
CURED. was made by a usurping Legisla-
ture. There Is In Alabama no such Legis-
iature and no such Governor as Mr..
Eeese's credentials describe.
We have called the Reese or Populist
Legislature a usurping Legislature and
the Reese or Populist Governor a usurping
Governor. But the fact is that no such
Governor has ever been elected or served
In that ONCE. and no such Legislature
has ever had real existence In Alabama.
That IL to say. the Populist Legislature
and the Populist Governor never rose TO
the dignity OF rsurpers.
Ought the Senate OF the United States
60 allow such "credentiais' 70 be pre-
scented ana read In that bodyf Joshua II.
Giddings. Of Ohio. was expelled from the
national House OF Representatives for
presenting 10 that body a petition for the
dissolution OF the Union Surely he had
as much right 10 present that petition as
Mr. Allen. OF Nebraska. had to present
10 the United States Senate what he knew
70 be false credentials. Mr.. Allen even
went 80 far as 10 ask the credentials TO be
read. ana the Senate extended it, courtesy

We think that It can never be too late to
right such wrong TO the state OF
Alabama ~ the Senate perpetratsd when
II pretended TO regard the bogus senator

IL Is the Common-sensc Solution.


1T is the common sense Of the situa-
ton" says Mr.. Watterson. Of what is
called the Presidents scheme. He argues
that as the President himself says, 1t
leaves the subject of new bank-cur-
rency system for the future. Would that
we could hope for as much from any
bill az Mr.. Watterson hopes for from
this one. Being followed, 1t would, says
he, "do all that 1t was intended to do
place in the power of the government the
quickest and surest means of maintain
ing an adequate redemption fund, restore
and sustain confidence in every form OF
our money. meet all immediate require
menis. and furnish a stable and solid
foundation for any future currency SUI
perstructure the demands Of the country
might suggest.
We quote Mr.. Watterson as follows:
IAN that the President says is well
and truly said: particularly what he says
about silver. If free-coinage bill could
pass into law, ii would expel gold from
the country 1t would Mexicanize our
currency. II would not make money
cheap. but dear. 1t would not make
money plenty, but scarce. In very little
while its authors would be engulfed by
popular odium."
'His message is an able and luminous
statement OF the whole fiscal situation,
carrying with 1t an appeal to patriotic
Americans, the more cogent and pathetic
because of the circumstance that 1t will
pass for the most part UNDECIDED"
Mr. Watterson amusingly says Of him
self:
but from such as did him the honor
to notice him at all. he was told that he
began his career a fool, and had been
falling ever since-that he knew nothing
about business. anyhow-and other plea
santries OF a like description"
He also says:

Of a change OF the monetary system.

January IS. 1895
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Our people are greatly rejoiced that the
detestable name OF Surrender" as the
name of the post-ofiice at old Appomattox
Courthouse is a thing OF the past, and we
feel under many and lasting obligations to
the Dispatch for It's noble defence OF our
people from the unjust aspersions hurled
at US by the OUTSIDE world in charging us
with being favorable TO the obnoxious
name that was attempted to be fastened
upon the post-ofiice at old Appomattax
Courthouse.
We extend TO you our heartfelt thanks
for your earnest persistent, and unremt-
ting effort to induce the Post-Ofiice Depart
ment to undo the great wrong inflicted
upon us.
We are also under renewed obligation
TO the Dispatch for originating the idea
of national park at Appomattox Court
house, and we trust you VIII push that
idea until our fond hope in that direction
is realized.
Yes, push the ball right along; and we
hope that good will yet come out OF the
action OF the Post-Office Department In
delaying so long to obey the wish Of our
people. y.
