of office expires

Before Gov. Lind retires from office
two years hence he will have made d.
rectly or indirectly in the neighborhood
of $500 appointments. Every one of
this vast army of appointees will be in
the trenches ready to fire off their polit-
ical Mauser rife against the Republican
party in the next campa gn. Every Re
publican who voted for Lind and who
wishes to vote for protection, honest
money and Mckinley in 1900 will then
learn what serious mistake he made.
The Republican party in this state can
never be defeated in presidential cam
paign but the opposition it will en-
counter at the next election is of the
party's own making. Republicans will
not commit the error again which they
committed in 1893.

For tho Scnatc-Scnator IIoar's Pro.
missed Speech on Expnnsion-Appro.
priatinn Bills in tho House.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-The
week promises to be busy one in the
SENATE. 1t will begin with an elaborate
and carefully prepared speech by sena-
tor Hoar, to be delivered immediately
after the transaction Of routine business
tomorrow In opposition 10 the extern
sion of American territory. This
speech is OF considerable length and
with the Interruptions that are liable to
occur It will probably consume the
greater portion OF the day. Tuesday
Senator Mason will discuss briefly his
resolution In opposition to this country
asserting sovereignty over Cuba and
the Philippines, taking strong ground
for the independence of the people OF
those Islands.
Senator Morgan will make an effort
early In Che week 10 get the senate to
name n date for linking q vote on his
bill for the construction OF the Nicar-
aqua canal. and whether he succeeds
or not. will press the bill as continuous
IL upon the attention OF the senate ns
circumstances will permit. Unanimous
consent Is necessary 10 the fixing OF o.
time for vote, and il Is not probable
that this will be secured for some time
TO come. II Is the expectation that the
peace treaty will be reported on We'd
nesday and also that some OF the an
preparation bills now In the hands of
the committee on appropriations will
be brought In towards the close OF the
week. Immediate consideration will be
asked for the appropriation bills. but It
is possible that the beginning o: the de-
bnte upon the treaty may be postponed
until next week. There Is an effort on
fod among the opponents of the treaty
to have IL discussed In open session, but
the indications are against such n
course.
The time 0f the house will be fully oc-
cupicd from this time forward until the
conclusion of the session. Approprla-
