WHO Is THE TRAITOR?

ITO the candid Judgment OF honest men. -
said Mr.. Carter, Il leave the determina-
ton OF questions relating to the fidelity of
Republicans in this Senate to their party
principles. The Republicans alleged to
have proven recreant to Republi-
can principles resisted the effort
of the administration to strike out the last
silver coinage law from the statute books;
they resisted the passage of the Wilson bill;
they resisted the issuance OF bonds in times
of peace; they resisted the contraction of
the currency by the retirement of the green
backs, and they now resist an inferential
violation of the principles OF the Republic
can party platform. by resisting approval OF
horizontal tariff revision, ad valorem du-
ties and the Wilson bill.
"On protection and bimat tallism," he said,
las the basis OF the economic and financial
policy of the country, the whole West Is
united. The party which accepts the one
and ridicules the other ca mot expect sup
port from the people of that section of
the country"
Mr.. Carter concluded as follows:
'.The maintenance OF the unity and in
tegrity of the Republican party is OF
overshadowing Importance to the country.
In the midst OF the prevailing chaos Of
theories on public questions, We owe 1t TO
the past and to the future to stand firmly
by our proclaimed principles, without eva
sion. mental reservation, or purpose to de.
ceive.
"The pending measure. born under the
passing excitement of a manufactured war
cloud, would do the country no good, but
it would do the party great injury by max
ing 1t share responsibility for the gloom
which appeared and will depart with this
administration.
AN EXTRA SESSION IN 1897.
Zone year from the 4th day of March

traordinary session of Congress. Guided by

the meantime, Republican maiorities will
assemble in both branches of Congress. To
the serious business of the country prompt
and competent attention will be guarau-
teed"

NOT A NEW IDEA.

1t is not a new proposition, more or less
agitation of it having been had since 1890
In 1892 an estimate of the expense went
to Congress, through the House District
Committee. and since then the subject has
commanded a good deal of attention each
year. The Commissioners have evidently
come to the conclusion to give it a prac-
tical test, their views being in accord and
in favor of the proposition.
Phe probable cost OF establishing plant
is stated to be not In excess of $50, 900,
while the expense of prosecuting the work
viii be in the neighborhood OF $151 900.
The present appropriation for the service
is STAG, ,0G0. The estimate for next year
is $165. ,45o.
There are two points to be considered
in connection with the municipal owner
ship of the plant, and these are whether
or not the work can be as economically
done and as well done. 1t is the belief OF
the Commissioners that both queries may
be answered in the affirmative
The advantages to be secured through the
abolition OF the contra ct system arcstatedto
be in part that the system may be better
supervised and that the work may be done
by District laborers, and at the same time
performed at q cheaper rate.
II these conclusions are correct. the Com
missioners will doubtless appeal to Con-
gress for an appropriation for the purchase
to he made available at the beginning ofths
next year.
