argument was almost purely legal in
character as spectators knew 1t would
be when they reached tho gallery this
morning and saw the law books heaped
high on tho desk of the junior senator
from Texas; but Senator Bailey has the
faculty of making a lawyers argument,
addressed to lawyers, as entertaining as
an afterdnncr effort, and when he con-
clllded his argument to-day the corridors
leading to the gallery were till-crowdedi
with men and women. white and blnc:.

It Is pretty certain that the Bailey
amendment will be defeated by a goody
majority. But what will be the nature

1t Is bound to furnish the keynote of the
campaign this fall. Democrats lnVe been
working to that end. The speech OF MT.
Ruiney and other Democrats In the House
in tho past few days. in which they ar
ralgncd the trusts and charged that the
protective tariff policy Of the Republican
marty was responsible for the existence OF
oppressive monopolles, will make excel
lent campaign documents. 1t Is inpos-
sible to SEQ how It Is going to hurt the
Democrats for Mr.. Roosevelt to reconl-
mend TO Republican Congress that 1t
undertake to do the very thing for which,
Democrats have been clamorng for
years.

All tho foregoing Is but ampllncntlon
Of the two statements made In the outset:
The prospect at present Is that tho para
mount issue of the campaign this fall,

e ROANOKE, VA. April 1.-THE nomi-
nation Of L. G.. Funkhouser MS postmaster
of Roanoke created great surprise to-
day. While he is we'll known among the
Republicans, otherwise his circle Of
friends Is limited owing to tho fact that
he Is n quiet easy-gongt bachelor OF
thirty eight, who resides with his mother
and two sisters, both Of tho latter being
teachers in the public schools.
Mr.. Funkhouscr Is a native Of Rock
inghan county. and has resided In Roa-
inoke about twenty years. Twelve years
OF that time he spent as a clerk at a
moderate salary In n furniture store.
When the proprietor Of the store was
told that Funkliouser had been noml-
nat ted he took It as a joke. Funkhouser
went to Washington as a friend Of George
Hart. and neither he. his family or
friends had the slightest thought that
he would be nominated for the place.

LIVELY DEBATE
HEARD IN HOUSE
Actual Consideration Of Post
office Appropriation Bill
is Reached.
(py Negotiated pross

10y j<fSsONIdtSu * lCSS.J
WASHINGTON, April 11.-After nearly
ten days OF general debate with the post
office appropriation bill as the vehicle
for the discussion of wide range OF,
subjects, the House late to-day reached
the consideration Of the bill itself, an
hour having bcen given to the reading
7 OF the measure. There were a number
,of lively debates during the day. but
little progress was made with the bill
under the f1vc-minute rule.
Mr.. Page (North Carolina) opposed the
appropriation for special railway mail
facilities on tho ground that the section
which he represents did not need the
appropriation. Incident to the discus
sion OF the special appropriation. Mr..
Page spoke about the revelations In re-
gard TO the weighing Of the mails. Ic
said the very moment the e2pubican
party became 'thc beneficiary Of the pill
fcrings OF these men, then the cdict
went forth that the writer's OF articles

A Heated Debate.
An echo of tho dispute between Mr..
Small (North Carolina) and Nir. Macon
CArkansas), which attracted much at
tcntion vest rday, growing out of the
special appropriation for the Southern
Railway, broke forth when Mr.. Macon
rose to question Of personal privilege.
He said that the newspapers had given
Mr. Smalrs side Of the controversy, in
which he (Macon) had been accused OF
llbelling the president or the Southern
Railway. but they had made no mention
of the libel which Mr.. Small had put
upon him. Mr. Small sought to inter
rupt. but Mr.. Macon waived him aside,
saying that as lie (SmalD had refused
to be interrupted, he, In turn. would not
permit an interruption now, but with
all the force at my command l want to
resent to the teeth the charge that ]

Mr.. Small again sought to interrupt.
but the gnvcl fell as Mr.. Macon uttered
the sentence: you are no gentlcnlnn."

reply.

count would have shown him elected,
Legislation is Radical.
All the legislation, outside OF hercgular
routine this year has been OF a most
radical tendency. though there has been
little done. The speeches on the floor
the converse tons in the cloak room, the
bills introduced, have gone TO show that
the general sentiment of the country is
more radical than anybody ever saw 1t
before. The average Republican member
OF Congress too day chcrishes more radical
ideas concerning government and Its
functions than were advocated W MT.

at least Mr.. Roosevelt Is much more
radical on all questions than Mr.. Bryan
ever was. 55S9
And here is a good place to say that
the question OF the free md unlimited
coinage OF silver Is never heard In poltt-
ical discussions in Washington. The
issue Is regarded as dead. The country
is on such a lofty wave OF prosperity
that the question OF finance is never
raised any more, and attempts to raise IT
in campaign, with Mr.. Bryan as the
candidate, would not, 1t Is believed, be
met with any success.
Leaders Want Bryan.
The most conservative element In the
Democratic party. represented by Thomas
F. Ryan and August Belmont and men
of that character. have come to the
point whore they want Mr.. Bryan made
the nominee, in order to forestal the
radical tendencies of Mr.. Hearst and his
followers. Mr.. Bryan has become the
representative OF conservative sentiment
In the Democratic party. say these adj
vocates OF his nomination. IT Is Of the
deepest significance that the conservative
wing Of the Democratic party, which re-
fused to support Mr.. Bryan because OF
his radlcalIsm In 1905, Is now advocating
his nomination to the presidency.
With the question OF the free coinage
OF silver eliminated, Mr.. Bryan stands
exactly where he stood In 1896. The
Republican party has gone to a point In
ra dlcalism far beyond that to which lie
adventured then or to which lie has at
tanned since. The Democratic party has
gone much further than he advoca ted Its
going then. He has stood still and seen
