''the trusts which controls monopoly
of what God gave the silver trust.
The fact is also recalled that when the
Sherman antitru law, recently up,
held by decision Of the U. s. Su.
preme Court, was before the House,
the leading Democrat members voted
against its being taken up for con.
sideration, although they did not dare
to vote against the bill itself when il
was put upon its final passage. They
found the trust argument a veritable
boomerang, and about the only excuse
they had to offer was that they were
not responsible for Grover Cleveland.
The Senate Committee on Appro-
priations, although not controlled by
Republicans, has endorsed the action
Of the House in passing those left over
appropriation bills without change,
by reporting the agricultural bill to
the Senate just as itpasse 1.-THE House,
and will probably do likewise with the
other bills.
President Mckinley has told several
gentleman who were applicants for
the same position they held under the
Harrison administration that he would
not appoint them, no matter how
strongly backed they were, because
he had made up his mind not to make
such appointments, except in cases
where there might be some extraor-
binary circumstances justifying a
deviation from the rule. This is not
because he has not high opinion Of
the officials, but because he thinks
others should now have an opportu-
nifty 10 share in the party honors
The vacancies in the Senate Com
mittees are worrying the opposition
more than they are the Republicans
although the latter are perfectly
willing that they should be filled, but
so long as the opposition cannot
agree to vote together and assume the
responsibilities of the majority, Tire
Republicans very naturally object
to allowing the Democrats who are
only one faction of the majority, to

dictate how those vacancies shall be

the Republicans were given the i'm
portant Craftsmanship, of the Senate
during the last Congress, and they
now insist upon the vacancies being
filled so as to give them control of the
important committees or not at all,
unless the opposition chooses to COM
