Senator Mcmillan has re-organizcd
the U. S. Senate, having the CON-
mittees for the 55th Congress ap-
pointed, and in spite of an opposition
majority has gained substantial ad-
vantages for Republicans.
Senator McMillen figured only with
Republicans and Democrats and not
with the Silverites or Populists, aud
he got the Democrats into such a
frame of mind that they were much
more anxious to have the vacant
places filed than the Republicans
were.
BY this arrangement Mr.. Mcmillan
saves tho Republicans 40 of the go
chairmanships; he gains them other
important places, and by the same
token he gains them the control of
five very important committees,
which were sadly needed In the 54th
Congress; he gives the Republicans
absolute control of 26 committees.
ii of which are the most important
In the Senate, including that on
post Offices and post roads, which. for
political purposes, Is the most i'm
portant OF all; and along with this,
while he allows the Democrats more
than they are numerically entitled
to, he fixes 1t so that neither the
Democrats, Populists, nor Silerites
can separately control any one i'm
portant committee.
Senator Mcmillan Is all right, be-
ing one Of the ablest statesmen in
the United States to-day.-Alpena

The two essential purposes Of the
new law are expressed by the
trainers in its title-"A Bill to Pro-
vide Revenue for the Support of
the Government and to Encourage
the Industries of the United States"
The first object is admitted by all
parties to be proper one. The
revenue has been insufficient TO
meet current expenses during the
last -four fiscial years. One of these
years was under the operation Of
the Mckinley law; the other three
have been under the operation of
the Wilson German law. These
heavy deficits, amounting for four
years to about $l5G,000,000, have
been attributed by the critics Of
the present law to the reductions
which 1t made IN the rates Of duty,
and it is one of the avowed objects
of the new law to remedy this de-
felt. 1t N ust be remembered, how
ever, that the country has been
passing through a period of ex-
treme business depression, which
would not have failed to reduce the
receipts under any law as compar-
ed with those of a period of pros
perity. 1t may be observed, also,
that the average deficit of about
$39,000,000 per year would have
been almost exactly covered if su-
gar had not fallen so desidedly in
price, with Il resulting loss of rev.
enue of $l5,0OO,O0O or more per year
and the income tax had not been
overthrown by the Supreme Court,
thereby wipipg out an estimated
revenue of $30,OOO,O0O per year. Ii
the income tax had not been de-
clared unconstitutional there would
have been no deficit after 1895, and
the revenue problem would have
been much less serious than has
heen the case sin ce the decision of
tho Supreme Court was rendered.

millions of dollars.
And to avoid all this, what does

Simply this, take the power away
from Congress to formulate a curr-
ency bill; lodge it in commission
that can avoid the people, cut the
people out Of a voice in it. Send
this commission out as the secre-
tary of the Treasury says TO st.
Louis, New Orleans, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Boston, and New York to
gather information on money
scheme,--a bank bill. The meddlo-
some people will then not be con-
suited. They will be shut out.
Who will this commission see in
those cities? Bankers, boards of
trade, stock jobbers, money gambl-
ers; but not one of the common
people.
Who are these? A part of the
money power. 1t is the, money
power seeing itself. What is it all
for? To avoid submitting the
question to the people.
The question then is, since the
people are to be ignored, "Why not
