suggested that the senators we're not
SO very far apart, aud perhaps with 2
little time all differences could be ad

Mr.. Vest Missouri and Mr.. Taller
of Colorado, however, objected to the
rostpoGement. Mr.. Mantle asserted
the bill to be full OF loop holes and

Mr.. Allison then offered sn amend
ment requiring secured wool OF the

OF unsecured wool OF that class.
After rather ex;ended debate the
amendment was adopted.

A SANDER REFuTED.
~. j. Bryan Defended Against Bass
Charge.

Immediately after prayer in the
United S ates Senate Wednesday
morning Mr.. Allen OF Nebraska arose
10 question OF personal privilege in
connection with the conduct OF the
last campaign. There was much in
terest in the statement as Mr.. Allen
vas chairman Of the Populis!ic na
tional convention. Mr.. Allen read a
published press dispatch from Nevis
toe, Me-, stating that Prof. L @. Bate
man, candidate Of the Peoples party
of Maine for Governor last year, was
cut in an attack On ". J Bryan, to
the effect that Mr.. Bryan's gift Of
s 81 -5,33J -553J ID Tie Popuiistic nGtiorsi COM
nittee was with the distinct under
standing that 40 action against fusion
should be taken by the Populistic ma
tional convention. Mr. ALEU- made g
sweeping denial He SAID M. Bryan
had determined to divide tee royalties
on bis book. a0d il doing SO he al
lotted 81, 500 to the Populistic party.
The draft was sent 10 Mr. Allen, but
the chairman of the Populistic nation
al committee Senator Butler OF North
Cardinal declined to accep: it.
Thereupon, at the suggestion OF Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Allen invested the amount
to be used in the interest Of bimetal-
lism. Mr. Allen declared thai tae
statement thai any agreement existed
as to fusion, IN connection with the
gift, was ''an absolute and unqualified
falsehood." There had never been,
he declared, an attempt to fuse the
parties, either nationally or Ideally.
Mr.. Allen also specifically d=n;ed the
statement that Mr. BrgaD forged his
(AIen'@ name to the list appended to
the letter of notification. The S=aa-
tor closed with a aigh tribute to Mr.
Bryan and au arraignment Of Prot.
Batema1. Mr. Butler stated briefly
that the ofer was made to him, but he
felt impelled to decline it. He ap-
proved Ar. Bryan'S motive, but feit
inst The acceptance might be open 10
misconstruction. The offer had been
made. hesaid, without any condition,

est part of it. There Is no occasion
for haste. The Union Pacific is now
being run by government receivers and
is paying well.
I'm this connection it may be we'll
to say that if in the progress OF the
negotiations for the settlement OF the
debt it should be deemed advisable for
the government to acquire perfect
title to the roads, that there would be
no more occasion for the hue and crv
against government ownership than
there is now. The road has practically
been in the hands Of the government
for three years, and the heavens have
not fallen nor has the republic disin-
tegrated."
Mr.. Hubbard is in position to know
whereof he speaks. He says "the road
has practically been in the hands OF
the government for three years." and
that it is paying well. We insist that
the understanding that the Morgan
syndicate has with Cleveland bodies no
good for the government. The public
has not forgotten the bond deal for the
S62,ooO,OOO bonds between those two
worthless by which the syndicate cleared
about s1O,GO0,OO0 and the government:
was loser for the same amount. These
deals are altogether too one sided for
the good Of the government, and it
would be much cheaper for the people
Tor Cleveland to go fishing and stay
there, and permit congress to deal with
the railroad brigands. Little enough
may be expected from that body. but

that there was lack of money in

makes the transaction of business i'm

the men who in the recent campaign
declared that there was plenty of
money in the country, but he has since
visited the West, and admits that he
was very much mistaken and that the
capitalists in the East do not under

The financial condition of the coun-

imagine how 1t could be worse. The
only consolation Populist can have
is that neither of the old parties

that none have yet been able to dem
