Little Hope for the Passage of the

Little Hope for the Passage of the
Cameron Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-No informa-
tion has been received at the Senate
from Senator Cameron as to when he
will return to Washington, and his
apparent desertion of his resolution
recognizing the independence Of Cuba
affords it's opponents the opportunity
of declaring that it is dead. This is
not strictly true, but it must be ad-
mitted that it's fate is very uncertain.
Senator Sherman, the Chairman Of
the Foreign Affairs Committee, is
opposed to the passage of the resOlu
tiOn, Senator Cameron, it's author, is
not here to call it up, and other
measures are pressing for considera-
tion.
Taking advantage Of these facts,
the anti-Cuban Senators find it easy
to arrange for defeating the resolu-
tiOn without making any direct fight
against it. No plan has been mapped
out for securing action on the resolu-
tion in advance Of Senator Cameron's
return, and it bids fair to die natur-
al death upon the calendar, just as
Davis resolution, OF last session up
holding the principles of the Monroe
doctrine died.
Both resolutions might be passed il
brought to vote, but no one comes
forth as their champion to urge i'm
mediate action. But the temporary
side-tracking in the Cameron resolu-
tion does not mean that Secretary
Olney has already won his fight with
Congress. and that t. e CubIn question
will not be heard any more this ses-
sion.

Senator Butler viii Have no Influence
With Mckinley Administration.
Senator Butler had long letter in
The Progressive Farmer last week in
which he says: ga few Populists have
written asking my assistance to get
postoffices, revenue offices or other
federal offices under the Mckinley ad-
ministration. l have been very much
surprised to receive these letters; yet,
l feel sure that the writer's had not
considered the meaning of their re-
quests and the consequences that
would necessarily follow il they got
the places referred to.
"ln the first place, [ will have no
il fiuence with the Mckinley admins
trdtlon and If l did it would be proof
l had bartered the principles of the
Peoples party, my own convictions
and the interests Of the people for
federal patronage. II a place is offer
ed TO any Populists over the heads of
these Republicans it will be because
the Republican machine thinks the
PopulisJ officeholder will become a
Republican and bring recruits or be-
cause they expect him to stay in the
Peoples party as spy to serve the
CoOS VI UhC 1eCpdOllCdu pdI Wy
Therefore the Peoples party, the
pioneer and moving force in this
great reform movement, must con-
tinue to lead aggressively the fight
against McKinleyism, as it has against
Clevelandism.
"If there is any Populist who has no
heart for this fight then let him no
longer masquerade as a Populist. If
ohere is any Populist who has made
up his mind to seek for patronage
from Mckinley he has already dropped
out of the fight; he has deserted the
people in their struggle TO redeem the
government and restore property; he
has surrendered to the enemy. If he
gets federal job he will soon be
apolOgizing for Mckinley for doing
the same things that he condemned
Cleveland for doing. II there is any
such Populist (God forbid itl then let
him make haste to openly join the
Republican party and get revenue
office if he can as the price OF his sur
render and betrayal"

If Republicans Wish to Steal His
Thunder Will Leave it on Porch.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 6.-The Lans-
ing Theatre was completely filed this
morning when the State Bimetalic
Conference was called to order. When
Mr.. Bryan entered the hall he was
greeted with deafening applause.
Mr.. Bryan said the warm reception
accorded him prompted him to para
phrase an old saying which would
read: 1T is better TO have run and
lost than not TO have run at all"
He reviewed the campaign from the
Chicago Convention until the close of
the polls. He showed the great gain
made by the silver party since 1894,
said that he believed that with the
efforts to be made during the next
four years there could be no doubt OF
victory in 1900. He spoke OF the BIZ
metallic league which is about to be
organized in this State, and advised
that all friends OF silver regardless of
party affiliations should be enrolled
under one banner.
He made hit when he said that
while the doctrine of bimetallism had
been defeated at the polls, it had
made Republicans hope that bimetal-
lism would be secured before the next
Presidential election. Some friends
OF the cause feared the Republicans
would manage to steal the bimetallic
thunder, but if they had desire to
steal it he was ready to place his
| thunder upon the front porch, where
it would be within easy reach Of the
thieves.
