B Lively Debate In tho Senate.
& WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-A spirited
debate was precipitated in the senate
during the day by the introduction of a
resolution by Mr.. Hoar providing for
IN inquiry by the committee on post

reducing the force Of letter carriers in

declared that the order had had the ei-
1ect Of a dynamite bomb in creating

throughout the country, while appar-
emily all that was needed by the post
Gffice department was an appropriation
ef $3.50, 600 to maintain the efficiency Of

the DOVE AND SCROLL.

The Broad faction OF the Silver
Republicans OF Otero county have
flied a protest with Judge Dixon al
Pueblo, and II was given hearing
in the district court yesterday.
The title OF the protest is +. Il.
Dresback, Eugene c. Graham and
4. w. Shelton VS.. Robert w.
Patterson, Marion +. Miller and
X. y. kirkpatrick and q. H..
Winchell, county clerk. The peti-
TONERS were nominated by con-
vention held in this city September
go, which was called by o. G..
Hess +. X. Dresback was nomi-
mated for state representative, +.
{. Graham for county Judge and
A. w. Shelton for county com
missioner. They al belong, with
one exception, TO what is popularity
known as the Broad faction OF the
silver republican party. October
2t, when they presented their list
OF nominations to the county clerk
for filing, he refused it because, as
he said, the defendants in the case
had already filed ticket called
the silver republican ticket, and
adopted the dove emblem. The
petitioners pray for the right to
use the silver republican party
name and emblem.
Representatives of the fusionists
say they will make fight to the
death for the name and emblem,
and in the event Judge Dixon de-
cides against them they will
probably appeal to the supreme
court.

would remain OF Republican au-
thority Much tariff and currency
legislation will be necessary in
Cuba, the Philippines. Porto Rico
and Hawaii. On neither are the
Democrats in harmony with the
President. A deadlock must en-
sue, and at moment when novel
and complicated duties are most
pressing. To put affairs in such>a
shape IS not sensible. No sane
business man would consent to a
like enlargement and blockade in
his own interests. In regard to
the currency OF the new posses
sions Democratic Congress would
agree to just one thing, and that
would be silver at the old ratio.
In this demand the Democrats in
Congress have not wavered for
many years, and success IN Novem-
Der would strengthen their purpose.
Then the Democratic position on
expansion itself is unknown. The
Democrats in Congress were al
most unit against the annexation
OF Hawaii, and that stands as their
latest vote "pon the requirement
OF fresh territory.
President Mckinley within the
past few weeks has been face to
face with the people and has spok-
en- OF subjects IN which every citizen
is equally concerned. His senti-
ments were as broad as the country
and as near TO every heart as
patriotism. He spoke of a new
era OF American unity and of the
decisive power OF the people. AS
all favored the war, he asked that
all stand together for its proper
settlement. He remarked thai;
trade follows the flag and that new
markets are a legitimate object to
keep in mind. Victcry OF a splen
did nature is ours, but its fruitage,
as the President observed. is yet
10 Toe clearly defined and secured
These weighty issues are now to
be submitted to the supreme YER
! dict OF the voters OF the United
States. The question rs simple;
! Shall the President be- sustained
Shall a Congress be elected TO act
with him or against hims He IS a
man who in any case will do his
whole duty as patriot, but to
nrediessly add to his burdens and
perplexities will be truly strange
reward for faithful and successful
public servant.-St- Louis Globe

On the morning Ql November 9
rews will 20 TO the world OF the
election OF new Congress. The
political complexion oil the Senate
as well as OF the House depends
upon the ballots to be cast through
out the country two weeks hence.
The result Will rightly be viewed
as III. measure OF public sentiment
toward the administration OF Presi-
dent Mckinley. To choose a
Congress antagonistic to his politics
al this time will notify the nations
OF Europe, and chiefly of all Spain
and its sympa,hizers, that the
course OF the President, and the
lines OF policy he has marked out,
are not acceptable TO the American
people and that the most effective
way has been taken to stop all
legislation that he desires Ii the
Fifty-sixth Congress, TO be chosen
in few days, is Democratic, it
will deal largely with questions al.
fecting our new possessions. 1t is
vain to promise, or to imagine,
that Democratic Congress will be
other than typically Democratic.
The political history OF the country
is conclusive on that point. Ev,
erything proposed by the Presi-
dent will be searched for adverse
partisan opportunities and it will
be the aim of Congress above
everything to impede his action
and discredit his motives.

Richard Harding Davis's Criticisms
Due to Personal AnimOsity.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Oct. 10.-General
Shafter is angry over an article in New
York magazine, signed by Richard Harding
Davis, in which he charges Shafter with in
competency in conducting the Cuban cam
paign. General Shafter said that Davis was
one of the correspondents with whom he
had trouble. He tried to tell me-, said the
general, where 1 ought to land the troops.
He thought his superior talents ought to
entitle him to be landed first l told him
that knew nothing of his talents and that
a correspondent from Podunk would have
as many privileges as Davis This made
him mad, and he has been writing stuff
against me ever since, but don't mind his
filings.
THE testimony of General Wheeler before
the commission is very forcible and con-
vincing, but the stories of the line officers
will not be as cautious as those of General
Wheeler. They will tell story that will
will go further Perhaps the commission is
not legal, as General Miles claims, but the
testimony 1t is bringing out Will satisfy the
public that the stories which nave been
published throughout the land about the
neglect starvation and needless suffering
of the troops at Santiago have been exag-
gerated greatly for political purposes.
