THE GREAT REPUBLICAN SENATE.

After March the Republicans will have
fffty-three of the ninety senator's, which will
leave thirty-seven to the Democrats and
Populists. For the first time since the free
coinage of silver became an issue because
silver bullion had fallen in price, there will
be an actual and controlling majority
against that heresy. 1t is quite as impor
tant that the changes which have made the
Senate surely Republican result from the
fact that both senators from the States
largest in population and richest in material
resources will be Republicans. Both sena-
tors from Indiana, New York. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Ohio, illinois, Michigan, Cali
fornia and Wisconsin will be Republicans.
From the Atlantic to the Mississippi river
and from the Ohio and Mason and Dixons
line to the lakes, no State will have Dem
ocratic senator. Even Maryland and West
Virginia will have two, and Delaware and
Kentucky one each of the Republican faith.
Missouri, Georgia and Texas will be the only
larger States that will be represented by
Democrats in the Senate. The opposition to
the Republican party has little to hope from
the group of States in which senatorial va
cancies occur in 1901 after the presidential
election, judging from their voting a week
ago to-day, as clear majority of the thirty
senator's to be elected that year represent
States which are carried by Republicans
this year. Thus silverism seems to be
baked in the Senate for years to come.
During the past six or eight years, it cam
not be said that either responsible party
could claim majority. For 16 to l there
was majority, but beyond that question
no party had such a lead in the Senate as
to be really responsible for its conduct. The
important finance committee has been in the
hands of the silverites, and other leading
committees which shape legislation have
been so divided as to be without power
This uncertainty as to parties has been re-
sponsiLle for the dissatisfaction of the
country with the Senate. Now that the Re-
publicans will have an assured majority of
orthodox Republicans, may not the country
expect to see more definite action and less
delay?

EInwer Mission Enir.

The annual Flower Mission fair opens to-
night and will continue through the week.
Everybody should attend and should go
prepared to spend as much money as pos
sibe. The women who have fitted up the
various booths and arranged the special at
fractions for the several evenings have done
so at the cost of much time and labor
They are not engaged in the work for their
health or, primarily to afford entertain
ment to their friends and neighbors. Incl
dentally they hope to provide a fair re-
turn for the money spent with them, but
it is the money they are after, first, last
and all the time. They ought to have it +;
the public ought to see that they get it.
1t will be well spent, as any one may know
who takes the trouble to inquire into the
workings of the mission. There is no more
deserving charity in existence and none
that should so appeal to the sympathies of
every individual. If the work of the Or
ganization were confined to the Children's
Hospital and the Fresh-air Mission it would
fulfill a worthy purpose, but it covers
wider field and looks after the sick and
suffering poor of all classes. 1t accom-
plishes much, but the demands upon it are
many and its treasury needs replenishing.
Give it encouragement and patronage. At
tend the operetta, or the minstrel show, or
other of the evening entertainments; buy
your Christmas gifts there. If you cannot
possibly attend send your certificate of ap-
proval in the shape of a cash contribution.
But you had better go. The Flower Mis-
sion is yours to help support.

Baltimore American.
Leader.

Baltimore American.
Certainly the most remarkable personal
tribute yet paid to any officer in the late
war was the brilliant banquet to Gen. Nell
son A. Miles by the leading citizens of New
York The event followed happily upon the
publication of General Miles s report, which
showed beyond peradventure that. as far as
he was permitted to act, everything in the
war preparations was ably done. 1t was
the bungling of those who thwarted Gen.
Miles that brought about the disorder and
the disaster. With absolute dignity and
self-restraint General Miles set forth the
facts of the war in a way that VIII stand
in history.
Those who followed the amazing course
of the War Department found that, in spite
of obstacles and interferenceS that would
have caused a less patient general to re-
sign, Miles persisted in his course and ac-
complished untold good for his government
1t Is this higher work which led the leading
men of the Nations metropolis to extend to
him tribute which is unparalleled in our
recent history. 1t was one of the greatest
banquets of the century, and 1t was as
notable in it's enthusiasm as it was great in
size and character. The speeches were adj
mirable and the reply of Miles showed him
to be master of oratory as well as a
genius in war
General Miles is one of the best soldiers
the country has ever had His courage has
been proven in many battles. He is the
friend of the soldier and he is typical
American of the finest clasS-a man who
rose from humble beginnings to the head
of the Nations army. Long life to him.

The Recent Elections Important
Bearing on Finances.
New York Einancier.

New YORK F1ndnCleT
Curiously enough, the gains in sound
money representatives were made in sec
tions supposedly tainted with the doctrine or
a cheap dollar. If we eliminate, therefore
the idea that free silver caused the Falling
off in the Republican representation In the
East-a loss caused in fact by political dis
satisfactions that are foreign to this discus
sOn-we find that free silver was dealt a
severe blow through the return of sound
money men to Congress in districts mere
tofore friendly to the Chicago platform, ON
which members of the old Congress were
elected The returns show this, and they
are peculiarly important in determining the
temper of the great mass OF voters on the

tariff, or any other policy of the govern
The vote of Nebraska, Kansas and other
states in the far west, where free silver
congressman were uRceremoniously turned
down, seems to assure the doom OF the Tree

Above this in the bearing of the future is

suffered. Irsolent in their power, they

an arrogance and effrontery that have been

If what are called the powers had con-
cluded to interfere at any stage of our con-
flict with Spain, it would have been at the
very outset After the issue had been joined
in war and the vigor of this government
had been displayed. the powers, with Great
Britain neutral, found less and less incen-
tive to take the part of a government which
has no vitality and which, if saved, would
thenceforth be a burden and a cause of
trouble. The latest advices lead to the con-
clusion that the powers never entertained
the idea of interference. The representa-
tive of Russia so declared recently in
the most public manner, while Germany
and France have time and again assured
the administration that they have not en-
tertained a thought of interference at any
stage of the controversy.
There will be no anxiety because of rumors
of interference over the refusal OF our gov
eminent TO pay large sum for the Philip

Pnlladelpnld RreSS.
Senator Fairbanks. of Indiana, sends this
signed statement to the editor of the Press:
1.-The result of the election is very signal
Endorsement of the cause of sound money.
The people fully realized that Republican
defeat meant the loss largely of the fruit
of the great victory of 1896, and that Demo-
cratic success meant the revival Of the free
silver cause, which would prove a serious
and standing menace TO the country until
again defeated at the polls.
THE people further expressed themselves
in favor of the policy of the administration
with respect to territorial extension. This
policy was sharply challenged by the OPP
position: II was one of the most distinctly
defined issues and the popular verdict can
not be mistaken.
1.-THE general result has been to increase
confidence-which must inevitably promote
a larger measure of prosperity throughout
the country. With both branches OF Con-
gress in political sympathy with the Presi-
dent there is an absolute assurance that for
years to come there can be no impairment
of monetary standard: no destruction
of our protective tariff system, and that
the grave questions arising out of the war
with Spain will be wisely settled.
1.-The country is about TO enter upon
period of unparalleled prosperity"

The Bryanites are Fastening to declare
that it was the war issue which gave the
Republicans their victory. That issue helped
because the Bryanites undertook to mag
Nifty the evils of the camps and to make the
administration responsible for them. 1t was
thought to be good politics, but the trouble
with the Democrats touched with the lep-
rosy of 16 to l is that what they regard
as good politics is the worst sort of politics.
The Bryan leaders would have Jared some
better in the campaign if they had pledged
their candidates for Congress to support the
war measures of the President. Unfortu-
nately, the leaders did not and would not
do this. In fact, under the leadership of the
ridiculous Bailey, of Texas the Democrats
in the House opposed the general war
policy of the administration. The silver
question was an issue, and when the Demo-
Gratis dropped the sick soldier as an issue
they made their fight in many of the con-
gressional districts upon the silver issue, adj
herring to 16 to l. This was particularly the
case in the new States of the Northwest,
which have been wrested from the Bryan
ties. In Kansas Nebraska, Washington and
South Dakota the 16-to-1 heresy was advo-
Gated as the leading issue and on that issue
the Bryanites were beaten. If they have a
particle of discretion they will see that free
coinage is a dead issue.
