Some of the Western railroads

Some of the Western railroads
are complaining that, after making
great efforts to secure adequate
transportation, the farmers are
holding their grain instead of ship
ing it. This is interesting when it
is recalled, only a few years ago the
farmers were not able to hold their
crops until prices suited them, but
were forced to sell at the earliest
possible moment to enable them to
pay their debts incurred under
Democratic rule. The farmers are
enjoying their share of the present
good times.

Mr.. G. M. Lambertson, who, in ad-

Mr.. F. B. Shepard, who is U. S. Com

the action of President Mckinley in
making Alaska military division,

dents of that territory, as under exist
ing conditions, the civil authorities are
powerless to preserve order. He thinks
the size of Alaska will soon make it

qua, and Mr.. Hepburn thinks the bill
will pass the House at this session.
That the sentiment of the House favors
the bill is unquestionably true, but the
desire on the part of some members to

LATE WASHINGTON NEWS.
President Mckinley Assists Demo-
cratic ProberS--The Financial
Bill in the Senate--House
Canal Bill Attracts
Attention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18th, 1900.-"Pub-
lish copies of every record OF my ad-
ministration, if called for" is the sum
and substance of President McKinley's
instructions to the members of his
Cabinet. That is the raight-forward
answer of the man who knows that the
closer his official acts are studied, the
higher his administration will stand,
to the roundabout attempts of the
Democrats and assistant Democrats to
play politics by offering all sorts of
resolutions asking for all sorts of in
formation, so worded as to arouse sus-
picion in the minds of the suspiciousiy
inclined that their authors know of
something discreditable on the part of
some branch of the administration.
This offer to furnish any information
desired by Congress, together with
President McKinley's request to the
Republican leaders in both branches of
Congress that they would not take
advantage of the Republican majority
to defeat resolutions of inquiry offered
by Democrats, has disconnected the
Democrats, and they seem in doubt as
to what they shall do next.
The Democratic Senators seem to be
even more afraid of the financial ques-
ton than were the Democrats in the
House during the debate on the Repub-
lican financial bill. There was some
thing almost pathetic in the attitude of
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, when he
asked Senator Aldrich, who is in charge
of the financial bill if no more Repub-
licans intended to speak on the bill,
and acknowledged that no Democrat
was ready to speak. Senator Aldrich
promptly replied that the Republicans
were ready to vote on the bill, but were
willing to allow its opponents to do all
the speaking against it they wished.
So far the only speech in the Senate
against the bill has been made by
Senator Stewart, who is a long ways
from being Democrat, notwithstand-
ing his radical silver views. Mr.. Bryan
is expected in Washington this week,
enroute to the Eastern States, where
he is going to try to convince the
people that the country
isn't getting along all right. Perhaps
after they confer with him, the Demo-
cratic Senators will be ready to do /
more talking, although rumor says
that Mr.. Bryan himself has promised |
not too much silver talking in the East

Senator Kyle's reasons for de-
termining to vote for the gold
standard are simply an example of
the conditions which are causing
many other leaders to abandon the
silver cause. He says, Though /
am a bimetallist and have been so
from conscientious conviction for
twenty-five years, | would rather
take the most undiluted gold
standardism than accept bimetal-
lism with the ingredients of radical
socialism that are now associated
with it. We have been practically
operating under the gold standard
for thirty years, and having brought
ourselves into harmony with the
monetary systems of the world, it
is doubtful proposition whether
it is right to again disturb values
in the world when by such action
we do injustice to the creditor class
and at the same time put ourselves
out of joint with the rest of the
world.'
The gold which is going to
Europe need not worry the calamity
criers at all. 1t is going there be-
cause it commands a higher rate of
interest there than can be obtained
for it here, and not for the purpose
of debt-paying. So long as the
trade balance is in the neighbor-
hood Of forty million dollars
monthly in favor of this country,
it will not be necessary to export
gold to Europe for debt-paying
purposes.

Democratic spellbinders are now
evolving theory to show the dis
advantage of increased wages.
Higher wages, they will say, mean,
of course, greater cost of produc-

ROBERTS EXCLUDED.

TIE Roberts incident closed
Thursday by the exclusion of the
member elect from Utah. The
vote stood 269 for exclusion
against 50 for expulsion. In the
battle, Mr.. Roberts made an APP
parent gain Of 1o votes, but an
actual gain of only TO votes.
These figures are based on tele-
graphed reports which cannot be
accepted as absolutely correct UNI
til verified by the Congressional
Record. The difference between
MI. Roberts actual and apparent
gain is accounted for by the"fact
that nine of the votes he received
on the final issue, were really
againrt exclusion from the first
dut for parliamentary reasons, re-
corded as "not voting" when the
question was raised December
5th. Throughout the contest,
though, it does not appear that
there was a single Representative
in Congress, except the member
elect from Utah, who favored
giving B. H. Roberts perma-
nent seat. This is the most sig

the whole controversy. 1t is a
fact which should penetrate and
illuminate the mind of every Lat
