A NUMBER OF GOOD. APPOINTMENTS.

should enable him to handle well the

Senator Harris experience in Con-
gress and his long practical experience
In railroad construction Is such as to
leave no doubt as to his special fit-
ness for Chairman of the Railroads
committee.
Senator Crosssn is q lawyer Of abil
ity and integrity. He is at present
City Attorney Of Psols. His friends
are confident that he will handle hiE
work as the head Of the Judiciary com
mittee with credit to himself and the

WESTERN POPULISM IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE,

STATES SENATE.
Our sensitive and critical neighborS
in the Eastern States have been much
exercised on account Of supposed law
legsnesB, dishonesty and revolutionary
tendencies among Western people.
This anxiety has been manifested In
many Wayg-ln newspaper criticisms,
magazine articles, in public addresses,
In campaign literature; 1t has grown
to the proportions Of public question,
and has become legitimate subject Of
public discussion.
Last spring the North American Re-
0ies0 and New York Herald published
articles prepared on special request by
Senators Allen Of Nebraska and PETER
Of Kansas on "The East and the
West" These articles were very gen.
orally commented on by the press Of
the country; and though they were
both written on the most truthful
lines and In the most friendly and pa.
trlOtlC spirit, so fruitful q source Of
partisan demsgogy as the "West
against the East" appeared to be,
could not be dispensed with In 'prac-
tlCsl politics" and 1t was used as the
leading topic IN Republican speeches
and writings during the late campaign.
1t was the most. effective weapon Of
the gold standard people.
And it was not buried when election
day had passed, 1t has been continu-
ally exploited as q paying investment
But the time has come and the place
reached when the captains Of the con
} tending forces are met face to face
/ and all the people may know what Il
/ said In attack and defense.

E Mr.. Aliens speech on the resolution
Mr. President, the success Of the Populis

And the investigation, If undertaken,

Here, for example, is Mr.. Secretary
Morton, a straight gold monometsllist,
who thinks q mere student Of finance
does not know anything that is Of
practical importance about the sub.
ject. About year ago, in a speech
before the Board Of Trade of New
York city, he said:
Why cannot the New York Board Of Trade
and Chamber of Commerce formulate such
legislation, have 1t approved by all the COM
mercial organizations Of the United States,
and by petition present 1t to Congress and de-
mand its enactment Why should wage
earnsrs, bankers, traders, merchants, manu-
facturers and railroad men who use vast sums
OF currency In their practical every day sf-
fairs, leave the finances Of the country to be
settled by mere politicians, theorists and va
garists whose exchanges consist in transfer
ring public offices from one set Of place
hunters to another setl Why leave all that Is
critical and crucial, wherein the integrity, the
honor and the glory Of our common country
are impsrilled, to the advocates Of financial
scheme that would dishonesty pay those
whom we honestly over Did not that class
enact the Bland-Alllson law Of February 8

And why is it, the people will ask,
that these business men are utterly
unable to suggest anything that they
themselves are satisfied WithP There
is only one kind Of a financial system
that the business man cares anything
about, and that is the one which pours
large profits into his pocket.
