Convention should be fortunat
enough to capture the prize of th
Republican Presidential nomination
That modest way of wearing his honor
is one Of the many reasons why almos
everybody likes 'enator Allison, but
is also a source of weakness to him a
a candidate for the Presidential nomi
nation, because it causes some peopl
to think that he lacks aggressiveness
Strange to say Gen. Harrison's visi
to Washington was not followed by
food of Presidential talk. One reason
for this somewhat unusual exception
was that Gen. Harrison himself posi-
lively declined to discuss that subject
saying that he was for the time out .
politics.
In adopting that Armenian resolu-
tion the Senate gave the world to un-
derstand that Congress is willing to 20
to any length in supporting the presi-
dent in protecting American citizens
in foreign countries.
A lot of tomfoolery has been widely
circulated concerning the opposition in
the Senate to the Davis Monroe d, c.
trine resolution which was last week
reported to the Senate from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. It can
be stated upon the authority of Senator
Lodge, of Mass, who has made a care
ul and thorough canvass of the Sem
ate, that the resolution will be adopted
and at the Out side there will not be
more than eight votes cast against it
in the Seuate. 1t may not be voted
upon for ten days or two weeks yet, as
many Senators wish to make speeches
upon it, and the free coinage substi-
tute for the House bond bill is still
taking up the greater portion of the
time of the Senate. But that bill will /,
it is expected, be disposed of this week,
and then there will be clear deck for
he Monroe doctrine speeches, and for
Senator Davis to press his resolution

The career of Representative and
senator-elect Money, of Miss, as view
I'd from the Washington end of the
inc, furnishes somewhat striking
picture of the ups and downs of the
Southern politician. Mr.. fernando
De Soto Money, hot to blame for his
lame at any rate, made his debut in
National politics as Representative of
he fourth Mississippi District in the
orty-fourth Congress. He remained
n the House until the close of the
'orty-eighth Congress. There he be-
,ame cheap Congressional lobbyist,
md remained such, his appearance
Indicated that he had a hard time too,
Until he succeeded in getting him self
lected to the fifty-third Congress from
he same old district. Then things
egan to go his way, although some of
hose who had employed him as lob
yist must have given him some bad |
alf-hours after his return to Congre IS.
