THE NEW CCNcRESS AND THE OLD.

Henry Loomis Nelson, in Harper's
Weekly: The senate of the Fifty-siXth
congress contains SO republicans, 26 DEM
ocrats, 4 populists. 2 members of the sill
yer party and 2 Independents. There are
four vacancies by reason of the failure
of the state legislatures to elect. Cali
fornia, Delaware and Pennsylvania will
elect republican senator's, and Utah a
democratic senator When this is done
the republicans will have a majority over
all of 20. In the house of representatives
there are 1876 republicans, 1874 democrats,
5 populists and s of the silver party.
Therefore the republican party absolute
ly controls the government, and is re-
sponsible for the legislation that will be
enacted, and for whatever failures of leg
~islation there may be. In the Fifty-fifth
congress the republican had a. majority
of two in the senate. and in the house a
majority of tifty-slX. 1t would probably
have been impossible to enact a sound
currency law in the last congress-, byirea-
son of the number of silver republican
senators, and there is a sufficient number
of them in the new senate to make the
effort doubtful, although the chances
are that a gold standard bill could event
ually be forced through the senate, and.
therefore, through congress-.
In looking over the new lists of 1nem-
bers of the two houses one is struck by
the greater number Of new senators and
representatives, and in the senate by the
number of members whose first service
in the federal government is in this
branch of the Legislative body. There are
So of the Sc elected senator's who began
their careers as members of the federal
government in the senate. Some of them
have been state legislators and COVER
nors. but none of these Sc ever had any
training in federal affairs until he took
his seat in the senate. OF these Sc, Is
are from ~ states of the far west, the
northwest and the Pacific coast. The
mining states nearly always sent to the
senate men who have developed their
mineral resources, and not the men who
have had experience at Washington as
delegates and representatives. twenty
one of the Sc are southern senator's, many
of whom, like Kenney of Delaware. Nc
Laurin and Tillman of South Caroline,
Pritchard and Butler of North Carolina.

1896. The south, for pie, has es
democrats, II republicans, and one popu-
list, instead of So democrats, 26 renub-
Means, n 5 populists. In New Eng
land. the democrats gained only 2, both
IN Massachusetts. Ii, the middle states
the democrats have 80 representatives,
and the republicans AZ. in the present
house. In the Fifty-fifth congress the
republicans had 81, and the democrats 9.
There was the great turning over. In
Inc state of New York, the delegation iE
the last house stood % republicans to 6
democrats. In the present house, it
stands Is democrats to Is republicans.
The Pennsylvania delegation in the last
house stood % republicans to g democrats
in the present house it stands 20 to 10.
The changes in the middle west We're
slight. 1t was in New York and the
southern states that the strength of the
democratic movement was felt in 1898.

A NO DEFENDERS,

In seeking to annul the work of the
legislative assembly, through his infu-
ence as the chief executive officer of the
state, Governor Smith apparently has no
defenders in the democratic press.
While his action naturally would find
no supporters in the Clark wing of the
democracy, for it was intended to serve
as a bar to the seating of the first United
States senator elected by a democratic
thing but gratifying to his eNcellency ito
see the chilly reception accorded his ardor
by the anti-Clark newspapers. IL, ~
Nothing has been lone by he latter to
relieve the governor of the suspicion that
his action in the matter was an after
thought-so long an after-thought, in
been thoroughly rubbed in. =.
1t was a most extraordinary step for
the executive branch OF the state govern
ment to seek to annul the work of the
Legislative branch, outside his veto pre-
negatives, regardless of what that work
may have been. o.,
Acting in the capacity of governor, he
might with equal propriety utter a pub
lie protest against the enforcement of
some law previously enacted by the legis-
laturc with his official approval, as to file
with the enate of the United States a
protest against seating a man who had
been elected a member of that body.
Governor Smith had an opportunity to
take up arms against Senator Clark in a
perfectly legitimate way, just as he has
always registered his opposition to any
law passed by the use Of the veto power.
All the statements made in the protest
filed by his excellency We're current be-
fore the certificate of election issued to
Mr.. Clark.
The governor knew as much about the
true inwardness of the legislative scandal
before he signed that certificate as he has
been able to learn since.
There is no question about this.
Why, then, did he not refuse to sign the
certificate that gave Mr.. Clark the right
to take his seat in the senate?
If convinced of that gentleman's guilt,
he could have easily withheld his sigma
ture from 50 important a document.
An action to compel him to affix his sig
nature would have been brought, as a
matter Of course, but such an action
would have enabled him to publicly set
of an act which he regarded as a crime.
1t would, in short, have given the anti
Clark men all the opportunity that could
have been desired to make out their case
against that gentleman; and if the COVER
nor had been finally compelled to sign the
certificate, a recital of the conditions
under which Mr.. Clark secured it would
have been far more influential in the
work of expelling him from the senate
han any of the devices now escorted to.
To an unbiased observer of current
events, II looks DIS IL the DluldeiInS tac-
ties of the Anaconda Standard and it's
friends, which did so much last fall and
winter to elect Mr.. Clark, are being re-
peated in the remarkably brilliant coups
with which they are trying to place a
set of jackscrews under the new senator
to hoist him out of his chair in the senate
of the United States.

Now that the Roberts plan to keep
