wAsHIxaTox, d. c., Feb. 3s.-The
news OF the reelection OF Senator
Kyle Was q great relief so the Popu-
list and silver men In Congress; but
they are all surprised that he should
have received the almost solid Rspao-
lican vote on the last ballot. Some
charge that Kyle must have made n
deal with the Republicans to get their
support, but those who know the Sen
ator best do not believe this. Is l.
more than probable that the Repnbli-
cans, seeing that q Populist would
surely be elected, threw their vote
for Senator Kyle because Senator Pet
tigrew who left the Republican party
last summer with Senator Teller, was
opposing his reelection. The state
ment made by the Associated Press
dispatches to the effect that Kyle,
while standing true to the principles
OF the Peoples Party, has agreed to
vote with the Republicans to organize
the Senate, is not believed in Wash
ington. In fact, be just as we'll join
the Republican party as for what good
he could do the people for the next
four years il he has made such an
agreement, for if he should give his
vote to hel p the Republicans to organ
ize the Senate, then the Republicans
would put a majority of every COM
mittee gold men, and this being done
it would be impossible to get any
measure in the interest of the people
reported by any committee and there
fore neither Senator Kyle nor any one
else would ever have a chance to vote
for any measure that would increase
the currency or check the greed Of mo-
nopolists, or to give the people relief.
The deadlock in Oregon still con-
tinues. The Constitution Of that
State provides that the legislature can
not be organized unless two-thirds of
the members elected participate in the
organization. The POpulists have
more than one-third of the members
and have prevented an organization.
This will prevent the election of Re-
publican gold Senator from that State,
and thus rob the gold men of the ad-
vantage which they gained by the
election of Senator Pritchard. There
fore, if no Senator should be elected
from Oregon, and If Senator Kyle
stands true to the people, as we feel
sure that he will, then the chances arr
that the friends of the people will yet
be able to prevent the gold men from
organizing the Senate, and the Peo-
Piles Party will continue to hold the
balance of power in that body.
THE LOUD BILL REPORTED TO THR
The Senate committee on postoffices
and post roads has, by ma Ority vote
reported the Loud bill to the Senate
Senator Butler entered a protest, and
is now preparing minority report
He hopes, with the help other Senators
who oppose the measure, to defea lit
in the Senate. If this unjust bill
should pass it would not only rob the
people of an opportunity of receiving
such books as Coins Financial School
trough the mail, but it would create a
most infamous newspaper trust of the
most dangerous and far-reaching char
acter. The indignation of the people
would be aroused everywhere if they
understood the real purposes of this
dangerous measure.
INTEREST IN THE LEASE FIGHT.
No little interest has been taken in
Washington in the fight that has been
going on in the General Assembly of
North Carolina to annul the 99-year
lease of the North Carolina Railroad
to the Southern. While the railroad
people are not so strongly opposed to
the bill in its present shape as they
were in in its original shape, yet OF
course the would much prefer that
the bill, though somewhat emascu-
lated, should not pass. 1t is under
stood here that the railroad lobby is
expected to make considerable head
way in the Senate against this meas
ure, with the possible hope of defeat
ing it.
