Senator Carter. of Montana, the present
chairman, will be compelled to give way
to some other man. Mr.. Carriers course
in the senate during the past few weeks
has been such that he can scarcely ak
pect to be retained in the position. Car
ter made anything but success Of the
last campaign. 1t was an open secret in
New York in 1892 that Carter was at no
time in position to gauge the sentiment
of the people. While such shrewd men
as Senator Quay. General Clarkson, Joe
Manley and others realized weeks In
advance of the election, that Harrison
and Reid would be defeated, Carter was
confident of success until the returns
forced him to acknowledge that Harrison
had been very badly whipped. 1t is true
that Carter being inexperienced in nation
al politics. was at a disadvantage. He
is a hardheaded individual, however,
and at no time would he accept the ad-
vice of men like Quay, Garrison and
the situation than he. and for this reason
he made huge failure at the head of the
committee, and II is therefore not at all
likely that the candidates chosen at St
Louis would care to have Thomas Henry
Carter manage their campaign, even
though he had not fallen outside the
breastworks on the silver and tariff is
sues. The opinion pretty generally pre-
walls among politicians In the capital
that Mr.. Carter will be sidetracked and
that Matthew Stanley Quay win be his
successor.

ference. The object of this conference,
as was told to newspaper reporters.
was to discuss the gold reserve. to re-
ceive suggestions respecting a policy to
restore business confidence, and also
to talk over the silver question"
1t appears that Mr.. Carlisle made an
informal talk. He expressed the belief
that both Of the national political par
ties will adopt "sound-money' plat
forms this year. he felt sure that the
silver agitation is dying out, and he

are out for the strict goldbug plan.

TO FIGHT SILVER.

While congress discusses. the gold
bugs in the New York chamber of
commerce realize that they must fur
nish the money wherewith to keep up
the campaign against silver. These
men can work the treasury-reserve
game with profits so large that their
campaign contributions do not worry
them. However. the "sound-money"
fund furnished last year reached a
large total. II was spent on millions
of pamphlets and for the support Of
public meetings. Several members OF
the committee Of the chamber OF com

the free-coinage craze was dead and

THEIR SCHEKE FAILED.

bill it would not become law. Probably
Mr.. Carlisle had been informed respect
ing the presidents intentions. IN
doubtedly the republicans who pressed
the tariff bill We're well aware of the
fate that awaited it as far as the pres
ident was concerned. The republicans
did not propose their tariff plan in can

work.

THEY ARE BUSY.

Senator Quay is putting up as active
a campaign as any of them. He is or
ganizing. He has made the conquest
of Pennsylvania; it is said that long be-
fore his candidacy was announced his
missionaries were doing good work
throughout the South.
Twenty-four congressman represent
ing Pennsylvania districts have signed
a letter addressed to Quay in which
they place themselves at his service
from now until the polls close. Some
of these men have fought Quay ever
since he became prominent in politics
he has tired them out. Quay's enthu-
siastic supporters do not claim that
their favorite is a statesman. But they
insist that he is a politician of high de-
gree, and they make a comparison with
Arthur. who was also a politician and
who, they say. was a better president
than Hayes or Harrison.

that the senator has yet developed
much strength in the republican strong
holds outside of his own state. He is
said to have the warm friendship of
Mr.. Manley, who represents Reed, and
of Mr.. Clarkson, who is operating the
Allison boom. Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Plat
are cordial friends. However. Mr.. Quay
can hardly claim to be second choice
with either of the candidates who are
supposed to be leaders in the race.

In some of the state legislatures in
session this winter bills have been in
troduced regulating the rates to be
charged by railroad companies for
carrying bicycles as baggage In Mas
sachusetts it is proposed to require the
railroads to accept them under the
same conditions as a passengers other
baggage. That is to say the bicycllsts
do not ask to have their wheels carried
free, but they wish to have them ac-
cepted as baggage instead of the $50
pounds weight, as the law allows
Many railroads. nearly all of those in
the West, we believe, have fixed
charges for the transportation of bicy-
cles, and in some instances these seem
unreasonably high. Statistics have
been prepared showing that 121 of the
railroad companies of the country still
carry bicycles without additional
charge. Among them are many of the
largest roads in the country. The gen.
eral passenger agent of the Baltimore
& Ohio company says that road has not
lost anything by taking bicycles as
baggage but has gained by ii. There
are 100000 bicycles riders now in the
country. so that the question is one of
large interest.

Origin of the Loving Gun.

The best account OF the origin of the
loving cup, says an article quoted in
Current Literature, comes from the late
Lord Lyons, British ambassador at
Paris. According to his narrative King
Henry OF Navarro (who was also Hen
ry w. of France). while hunting be-
came separated from his companion,
and feeling thirsty. called at a wayside
inn for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing IL to him as he sat
on horseback, neglected TO present the
handle. Some wine was spilled over
and his majesty's white gauntlets were
soiled. While riding home he bethought
him that a two-handled cup would pre-
vent a recurrence of this. so his maJes
" had a two-handled cup made at the
royal pottery and sent II TO the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when to his establishment, the
maid Chaving received instructions from
her mistress to be very careful of the
kings cup) presented II to him, holding
IL herself by each of its handles. At
once the happy idea struck the king of
a cup with three handles, which was
promptly acted upon, as his majesty
quantity remarked: Surely out of
three handles l shall be able to get
oner' Hence the loving cup.

Yesterdays report of Tuesdays pro-
ceedings in the senate said that the
democratic members laughed heartily
when Mr.. Morrill, arose TO remark: 1T
is now evident that the republican par
ty is in the minority in the United
States senate" Things certainly looked
that way. The republicans know now
that they are paying the penalty for
their greed. They wanted TO capture
the senate offices and honors To do
this they had to concede something to
the silver republicans: they were
obliged. for instance TO yield TO the
silver men the control of the committee
on finance. Many republican newspa-
pers urged their senators not to enter
into this deal, but these newspapers
were not needed. The result is that. in
fact, as wise Mr.. Morrill, has discover
