The Futile silver senate.


The members OF the senate who voted
on Saturday for the free coinage amend
ment to the house bond bill did not selp
the prospects OF the free coinage OF silver.
All that they accomplished was TO impair
the reputation and TO assail the credit OF
the country. Some OF them represent
feeble and scattered communities Some
OF them boldly misrepresent the declared
wishes OF their constituents All OF them.
except the Popuiists. kick away their party
platforms in voting for free coinage.
II they wished to beat the house bond bill,
they should have done so in a legitimate
way. 1t is not only entirely justifiabie. but
good common sense to insist that revenue
shall be provided by means OF a tariff
framed for the purpose OF raising revenue.
and to object to issuing bonds. But the
vote for free silver is nothing but an i'm
potent and malicious demonstration Of
hostility TO the Democratic and to the Re-
publican financial platforms. 1t amounts
TO nothing practical. but it is good proof
of the utter inability or unwiliingness of a
good part OF the senate to comprehend or
respect the opinions and the demands OF
the business interests of the country. 1t
shows the presence on the Republican and
Democratic sides OF the senate chamber, as
we'll as on the Populist side, OF the dema-
gogue and the crank.

IN Wyoming of running woman for gov

is Miss Estelie Reel, the state superintend-

affairs of her important department with
great skill, tact and business ability, and

Before smiling at this suggestion II is
worth recalling that Wyoming women have

Recent census returns show that the
East has been growing faster than the
West during the past i've years. The gain
in Massachusetts, during that period was

Western state. the increase was only Ls

In population from 1886 TO 1856 OF over 1850.
Other Western states may make more
favorable showing. perhaps. but unlsss
there is q very pronounced Improvement
during the next few years. II Is very evil
dent that the point indicating the center or
population In the United States win make
tho shortest westward movement during
the present decade that has taken place m
any decennial period since the original
Federal census.
There are many causes through which
Western growth has been arrested during
the past few years. <-hs number Of imups-

Agricultural products have brought low

farmer have not been such as would at

they had the necessary capital with which

But there Is no reason why the West
should be disheartened. and no ground for
believing that any existing drawbacks to

Things were undoubtedly overdone during

overcome the inevitable reaction More
