Senator Allison Of Iowa has been

and 60 is always in order. In that way
Z a senator who has gained his emit
ty is trying % pass a BILL Allison can
-.l1g .u an appropriation bm and
knock the senator Of his feet
Senator Allison has determined tr-
the omnibus bin shall not pass during
this short session Of congress Ta
fs the cold fact. and il is useless 70 be
blind 20 g. he has not said OF in,i-
mated 20 his most intimate friends
that he wii kll the Oklahoma bill. but
he has said in his committee room:
Some people bllndly overlook their
best friends The seutentious utter
ance conveyed to an old timer here
the idea that II the Oklahoma people
would be satisfied with the admission
without the other two territories. o,
might be accomplished. That was un-
dOubtedly the meaning OF this mod
eu Richelieu. He has always been
friendly 70 Oklahoma and was one Of
the best aids 10 the creation OF that
territory. Senator Plumb OF Kansas
once said 20 the writer: 'Old Allison
has promised me that he will not op-
pose Oklahoma. and he always keeps
his WORD; therefore. the Oklahoma bill
will 20 through"
And Plumb Was right. As soon as
Allison indicated a friendly feeInr
the bin went along swimmingly. Sen
ator ingalls, was interested in a bill
for the relief Of some tribe Of the In
dian Territory, and be said 70 the
writer: 4Ive Just written those EEL
lows that there is no opposition to
their bill and that Il will pass Sen
ator Allison told me this morning tha,
he saw no objection to It." And be
also was right
Now. practical men do not quarrel
over tribes. We have no time TO
waste reasoning about whether II II
right that one man should have 50
much power or not: thati S a matter
for school men 10 discuss. We are
anxious Tor statehood and we can only
get II by favor Of congress. We car
only get II when Allison permits us
to have e. All the cussin' and dam
min on earth won't alter the stubborn
fact
Senator Quay IS an old senator. and
Senator Allison will bear him no n
Will for the fight he. is making for
the omnibus bill On the contrary
Allison will respect him for IL. Nov
the question arises. will Quay gc
so iaT as 20 mako ~ open fight fol
the omribus bill. and lock horns with
Allison fo- the purpose OF defeating
all Of the appropriation bills. It
ator Quay wants to do II. he can keeI
the omnibus bill before the senate a.
The unfinished business. and by so do
ing he can defeat all the appropria
tion bills. For when a matter OF un
finished business is before the senate
even the appropriation bills can no
! knock II cut There is where Senate
Quay has the advantage. But will b
go TO that length and obstruct all leg
islation?
