The following item of news is sug-

Yer Republicans and Populists in the
senate, looking to a permanent coali-
ton, was reached at a meeting of repre-
sentatives of their parties held in Sen

The agreement had it's origin in the
effort to reorganiZe the senate commit

There We're present at the meeting;
Democrats, Senators German, Cockrell,

Allen and Pettigrew.
with reference to the matter of the
senate reorganization, it was decided
that the combination should hold out
Tor the assignment Of Democrats to all
the places on committees heretofore
held by Democrats, while it was agreed
that the Republicans should have the
places hitherto filled by Republicans.
This will give the Republicans all the
committee c~hairmanships vacated by
the retirement Of Senators Cameron,
sherman, Dubois, Squire, Mitchell OF
Oregon and Brown, but it will give the
combination about seventy vacancies,
while it allows the Republicans only
about thirty.
The combination decided against
making any concessions, even that pro-
viding for allowing the Republicans to
NIL one of the three vacancies in the
committee on appropriations.
The silver Republicans say that
their principal incentive in entering the
coalition is to protect the finance COM

John c. Calhoun, one Of the ablest
statesmen and best constitutional law
yers this country ever had, was in favor
of irredeemable paper currency, based
simply on it's ~receivability for taxes
and other dues to the government, and
bid defiance to any man to show where
in it would not be the best paper cur
-ency that could be issued Thomas
Jefferson also contended that such a
currency would take the place of hat
much gold and remain at par with that
metal. But the bankers object.
