that unless both Congress and the President

that it is not only safe to make further in

WhE Populist he4lbers in both branches
| OF Congress are Seemingly undismayed
by the fate which has befalleD the
proposed legislation suggested by their pre-
| decessors, and have rushed into the breach
with the usual grist of measures for the
rectiiication OF WRONG and the alleviation
of human misery.
Those In the House have up to this time
been inclined to conservatism, but Will even
up by being heard from almost daily for
the next two years. In the last Congress
Populist Boen Of Minnesota introduced more
bills than any other member, but secured
the passage OF but one, and that u local
measure.
Senator Pcffer rather stole n march on
hi. fellow Popuists In the Senate this year.
All through the vacation he has been at
work upon various bills which he fondly
imagines he can put through Congress at
this session. He has thought over them 50
much that he cannot be convinced that such
meritorious measures can fail. His pet
scheme and the one 10 which lie has devoted
the most attention, is Joint resolution to
amend the constitution of the United States
so as to provide for the election OF Presi-
dent and Vice President by a direct vote
OF the people, 10 extend the term to six
years, to provide that no person shall hold
the office more than once and that Vice
President shall not be eligible to the office
OF President.

The unaniInity of opinions between the
Commissioners anu Sena tor Mcmillan. chair
man of the Senate District Committee, on
the question of turning the District over
exclusively to monopoly rule indicates that
they have all been studying the art of mu.
nicipal government from the same mental
phonograph. The distinguished Senator
not only agrees with the Commissioners
that competition between District corpora
tions which operate as public servants is
detrimental to the public. but he also claims
that it would be better TO incorporate all
our street car railways under one man
agemcnt 80 as TO have only one fare"
On this brilliant principle of economy
both the Commissioners and the Senator
would probably have satan roast all sinners
over the same fire. and arrange that angels
might obtain their wings from one dcsig-
mated factory. But fortunately our District
bosses cannot carry their present monop-
olistic program into the next period OF ex-
istence or some one would have a corner
on us there.
Compared to telephone rates in cities
where there is competition, subscribers in
Washington are paying double prices for
telephone service. Not only is this true
but they are also being daily subjected to
petty annoyances at the central station

q ENATOR DUBOIS has a double in the
y person of Sam Hudson. the newspaper
correspondent. and thereby hangs the
following tale:
During the recent meeting OF the Re-
publican national committee a member of
the committee from one of the Western
States, who thought he knew Dubois very
well. approached Mr.. Hudson in the lobby of
the Arlngtorl Hotel. He Immediately en-
gagged him in conversation, and during
the talk gave the newspaper correspondent
very good inklng Of some of the schemes
that Dubois was planning to put through.
Mr.. Hudson did not indicate in any way
that he was not the Senator from Idaho.
and permitted the national committeeman
from this Western State to talk freely and
fully about the schemes that had been con-
cocted between Dubois and himself and
other men who were endeavoring to manipu-
late the committee.
Mr.. Dubois discovered later on that his
friend from the West had tipped off all his
plans to the newspaper correspondent. but
he is now satisfied that there is one ne ews-
paper correspondent in the country who NAV
be possessed OF information which he will
not print 10 the detriment OF public men.
Mr. Hudson simply received the informa.
tion. but made no use OF 1t. He is time
and again taken for Senator Dubois. but
the Idaho statesman is now instructinp
his friends in Washington not to talk too
freely regarding his political schemes to
any man unless perfectly satisfied that Du.
bois is that man.

There Must Be a Compromise.

means Will not venture their money, and
trade must necessarily languish In conse
queDce. The longer this condition OF un-
will become the business depression and the
greater the disaster when the financial
breakssp finally takes place. The time Ia
stop the controversy is now and the remedy
is a compromise both on the cancellation
OF grecnbacks and the Increase OF the
revenues OF Congress and the administra-
ton.
The bill of Senator Sherman to cancel
such greenbacks as are presented to the
Treasury for gold redemption presents a
means OF stopping the raids of gold
gamblers, and the proposition OF the House
to increase revenues by temporary additional
tariff taxation seems to be necessity.
1t is much better to sacrifice n political con-
viction to afford relief to a suffering country
than it is TO maintain a reputation for
b,llheadedness at the terrible cost now being
imposed by the policy OF President Cleve
land.
Let this fact be thoroughly impressed on
the minds OF readers. We cannot have good
times unless money circulates freely. and
money will not be put in circulation by its
holders until the country adopts--a policy
that will restore public confidence. There
are as many reasons from which TO absorb
prosperity as ever there was In the history
of the United States, and there will be as
great demand for our products when
there is rest from SO much financial con-
troversy.

the work has apparently been crowned by
complete success. The number and char
acter Of volumes seem to form most salts

not be wholly supplied atonce, the mere fact
of the existence of a solid nucleus will Tend
to build up the structure rapidly.
This library, with that which is being
established by the labor organizations
and which is making its way encouragingly
in connection with the bureau OF labor
employment, Will form an excellent be-
ginning in the direction of furnishing free
reading of the highest character to the

The Washington Free Library.

The formal opening OF the Washington
City Free Library, and the loan Of its first
book, is an event which is not only worthy
OF general congratula ton, but one also
which calls attention to the astounding
fact that in this great capital, with books
abounding to the extent OF hundreds of
thousands of volumes in the Congressional
Library and departments, this is the first
opportunity citizens have had to secure free
books.
The very wealth of volumes seems to pro-
duce famine. AT the great national Ii
brary, which is supposed to be owned by the
people, no one can borrow a book without
leaving its price on deposit, and if it were
out OF print, or Illustrated, it could not be
taken from the library at ALL

Western Mining SWindies.

There is every evidence that while there
is vast deal of pay dirt in the Cripple
Greek. Dcadwood, and other regions where
gold abounds, the bottom will very soon
fall out OF many of the stocks that are now

pecially appears to be the headquarters for
an unlimited number of companies whose
only capital appears to be the amount of
money necessary to pay for the printing
of their certificates. but the stocks are
floated everywhere, in Washington as well
as other cities, and would-be investors
would do well to inquire carefully into the
standing of the promoters and hackers be-
fore putting up the cash.
