FORAKER ALL RIGHT.

Notwithstanding honest men hate 4
traitor and treachery not a few great
men in the past have Deen politically
ruined and defeated for stations and
hOnorS which the people desired they
should have. \ few days ago the re-
port was sent out that SenatUr-elect
Foraker would be Il candidate for the
presidency and try to capture the vote
Of Ohio away from Mckinley Enc
mics Of both men were responsible for
the story. The Garfield Incident in 1880
was recalled and it was predicted that
after complimentary vote for Nc
Kinley the Ohio delegates would be
turned over to the popular senator
elect from that state.
Such a story reflected no credit upon
Senator Foraker and could do no harm
10 Major Mckinley. People despise
treachery in politics as in business.
Any attempt at double dealing OF this
kind would be certain to react upon it's
authors. Mckinley would be stronger
people of Ohio and Foraker would be
the loser if any men were 50 foolish
as to undertake at this date 10 thWart
the clearly expressed wish Of the peo-
pie of Ohio.
But the story hardly deserves the
serious attention that has been given
it Senator Foraker promptly stamp
ed the lie out by saying, Il am for
Mckinley, first. last and all the time"
He then added: "In Ohio we are
thoroughly united in favor Of Major
Mckinley. No Republican in the state
opposes him, and he will receive the
forry-six votes Of the state al the con
vention in ST Louis. The sentiment
in Ohio IS unanimous for Mr.. Mckin-
ley, and We have not reckoned upon
any other candidate in case he could
not secure the nomination

AN ASSURED SUCCESS.

Notwithstanding the cold water
thrown over the proposition of popu-
lar loan by Cleveland and Carlisle and
the perplexity of the conditions under
which they We're offered. there seems
no room for doubt that the loan will
be an entire success. OF course the
first step of the new Republican adj
ministration will be 10 relieve the coun-
Try Of its financial stress by fixing the
income equal TO the current expenses.
but in the meantime bonds will be sold
for gold 10 keep up a reserve which
under Republican policy would never
have been disturbed, simply because
there would have been no shortage Of
money.
PierpOnt Morgan more than a week
ago foresaw the sale of the entire am
cunt. S1O00O0,00O. and at once dissOlv-
ed his bond syndicate.
The administration has been greatly
surprised at the avidity of banks and
individuals everywhere to get the
bonds. In financial circles it is the
common idea that President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle had no faith in
a popular loan and contemplated max
ing a bargain with the syndicate, and
We're dissuaded from this course only
by an emphatic expression from the
country that the people should have
chance at the four per cents.
This loan demonstrates that whenev-
er Uncle Sam is forced to borrow, the
people can furnish the money. But the
conditions which have made borrowing
necessarily will disappear with this
administration. The government will
not be under the necessity of going
into the money market after the reve-
nue-wrecking Democracy shall have
gone out of power. With the restora-
ton of the Republican party there will
be a restoration of sensible policy.
providing an ample income for the gov
eminent. All the financial troubles of
the present administration had their
origin in a lack of revenue. As Mr..
Sherman stated the case in his speech
Of Wednesday, if there had been no
deficiency there would have been no
loss of gold. The gold had remained in
the treasury for years, but as soon as
there was a deficiency it began TO go
because the gold was used to pay cur
rent expenses.

CAN THE WEST BE CONSERVATIVE

Speaking of the VESTS present and
future cinched possession of the Uni
ted States senate. it may be remarked
that that possession with the aid of the
| south gives the west a master hold on
! the government machinery. The ten
ure Of a United States senator is six
years. That of a representative is
| only two years. The lower house of
| congress represents the whims, the re
! sentiment or the pleasure. or favor, or
disfayOr of changable public opinion.
In case Of the public's disapproval of
any policy or party. it is the House of
Representatives which first feels the
lash of popular punishment; when the
public is allowed a whack at the Uni
ted States senate il has, in all Hkeli-
hood. entirely forgotten its humOr to
punish.
1t has been said that the House of
Representatives represents the temper
Of the American people; the senate its
sober second thought. Consequently
while the west is in possession of the
United States senate, and feeling rath-
er gay and festive under its new-found
power, still it has a great responsible
ty. 1t is its duty, if it must err, to err
on the side of conservatism. 1t must
not fall into the whim or craze or fad
of every new House of Representa-
tiveS.
And in all likelihood this it viii not
have to do. The House, which is CON
trOlled by the states east of the Missis-
sippi river, is today the conservative
body of the present congress; it is
the senate which is propelling power;
But the senate can not safely continue
in this manner and, outside of the sill
yer issue, will not, in all probability.
The senate's place in the constitution
is that of governor on the rather eX-
citable machinery Of the house. This
function, granted by the constitution,
can not be usurped by the house Oh
account Of the frequent change in mem
bership.
SO we are on the point Of seeing the
west, supposed TO be wild and woody, !
and FESTIVE and reckless, in the per-
Torrance Of holding the country down |
to sober good sense. That is is equal |
to the emergency, no weSterner doubts, |
and that it will carry out the functions |
of the senate periodically, no easterner |
should fear. But the eaSterner should /
recognize that by a provision of the
constitution, the great west, which
has really had little to say in the gov
eminent of the country before, now
has a great deal, and that in its power
it will demand rewards and benefits |
which have hitherto been denied it.
