He Sees a POpuIist Growth that Repub1i-
cans Should Look Out For.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Senator Eikins

the Republican national committee

]. II. Manley of Maine, Powell Clayton
of Arkansas, William J. Campbell of
Illinois, G. A. Hobart of New jersey.
Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut and
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania.
Chairman Carter took occasion to say
that he did not think it wise for the Re-
publicans to be too confident. Although
it was apparent that victory was in the
air, he said, there were reasons why it
was not we'll to be optimistic to a degree
of carelessness.
He thought the grave questions be-
fore the country might we'll cause the Re-
publicans to pause and reflect. The presi
dent had placed himself squarely in
favor of retiring the credit money of the
country. 1t was possible the financial
centers of the country agreed with him.
There was no doubt a course of that
kind, if pursued, would make Populistic
votes. AIr. Carter called attention to
what he styled the remarkable growth
OF the PopulIst vote.
He said it had increased 240 per cent
during the past three years. This great
growth had not been developed in the
national legislature. as there were les.
Populists in the house than in the 52nd
ongress, but the vote in the different
elections showed a Populistic increase,
which it was we'll for the Republicans
to take into consideration. MIR. Car
ter was charged with being pessimist
and different members of the committee
said that with a platform enunciatfng

From the State Journals Special Cores pondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. Representative
Curtis is very sure of being able to get
this bill for the enlargement of the gov
ernment building at Topeka through at
this session. He has assurances from
three or four members of the old com
mittee on public buildings that they will
favor the measure. Judge Sayers of
Texas, who was member of the appro-
priations committee and whom Mr. Cur
It's took to see the building when he was
in Topeka has promised to favor the bill
in his committee and assist MT. Curtis in
getting it passed.
The bill as previously mentioned in
this correspondence calls for an appro-
priation of $l3O,00O. Thirty thou
sand of this is for the
purchase Of fifty feet of ground to the
north of the present building. In case
this land cannot be purchased for that
sum, there is provision ordering it con-
demned. The other 100000 is for the
addition to the present postofice build
ing. The proposed enlargement will
make room for the accomm odatinn of all
the government offices now in Topeka,
those at present in the office and the
pension Office. 1t will also give mora
room to the postoffice. This bill was re-
ported unanimously by the committee at
the last session and would have passed

PINGREE AGAINST TRUSTS.
Says They are More Dangerous than
Anarchists and NihiliStS.

1PsILANTT, Mich, Dec. 9.-Mayor
Pingree made another onslaught on the
corporations. railroads, and trusts in an
address to the Cleary college graduates
today.
E He denounced Gov. Rich's admiuistra-
tion for allowing excessive freight rates,
and paid his compliments to trusts thus;
"a trust fears neither God nor man. 1t
is merciless and arrogant. 1t laughs at
the law. There are over 300 of them in
shis country. These vast accumuIations
OF wealth are more dangerous to the
liberties of our republic than if all the
Anarchists, Socialists. and Nihilists of
Europe were let loose on our shores"

DICK BLUES ATTIRE.
How Our COngressman-a at-LarSe Looks
the Floor of Congress.

How Our Congressman at Large Looks
the Floor O Congress.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec 9.-It is considered
an almost unmistakable mark of a new
member in congress to wear a white
cambria tie, a soft felt hat, and a frock
coat. That being the case, Col. Dick
Blue could never get past the picket
line without being spotted at once. He
had ideas of the habiliments becoming
the dignity of a congressman and he
prepared for it. The occasion required
something more than if he were just
running up to Topeka to see 1.-The boys"
and look in on the Legislature, and he
knew it.
Therefore these first days of his first
congress find him in brand new black
suit, with frock coat and fresh white
cambria tie. The latter not tied as
faultlessly perhaps as a Santa Fe clerk
would tie it, the wrong side showing in
the kno: maybe, but adjusted with great
care and good Intentions.
Thus arrayed Col. Blue and Kansas
will have no need to be ashamed when
his deep voice first starts a series of
sound waves in the hall of representa-
tives and all eyes are turned upon him.
