PRou1y's REPLY TO DOLLIvER.

In his Council Bluffs speech Senator

able statesmen In office until they tot
ter and fall in their senility and weak
ness, to which Judge Prouty replied a.
Des Moines, saying:
: Senator Dolliver then refers to the
beautiful sentiment This naturally
touches the heart of every kind and
generous man. But we must not forget
in our sympathy, that the American
senate is not an asylum for sentiment
but a place for the exercise of the nigh
functions Of a great government. | fear
that already this beautiful sentiment
has played too important a part IN the
affairs of the nation. Some time ago
| saw it stated in Washington dis
patch that Senator DepeW had come
forward to be sworn in. according 10
the senate custom, leaning upon the
arm of his colleague, Senator Platt,
and then added that it took two men
to hold Senator Plat up during the
ceremony. l feel that this is carrying

too far Is there not danger that the
senate may become subject to the APP
pellation universally applied by the
populace Of France to their upper
chamber. "Hotel Des Invalides." The
American senate is a place of bust
ness. and should be filled by men with
both mental and physical ability to dis
charge its arduous duties.
I trust that the people of Iowa will
not repeat the fiasco of 1900, when in
response to this "beautiful sentiment"
they elected to the United States SEN
ate a man 10 years of age. so anfeebled
i'm body and mind that every one knew
he was not capable of properly dis
charging the duties of senator He died
before the beginning of the term for
which he was elected. This deprived
the people of their right to choose the
representative to that high office, and
vested that right in the then acting
governor of this state.
They are now appealing to this same
beautiful sentiment" to re-elect to the
senate a man 80 years of age. decrept
and enfeebed by disease, not that they
might show him greater honor, but
that they might preserve their power.
But this force" makes use of this
"beautiful sentiment" when they need
it and turns it aside With sheer when
it does not serve their purpose or de-
sign.
