During their service Boa the senate
Mr. Knox of Pennsylvania and MT
HcVoridpe of Indiana have been very
chummy The rcnnaylvauian made

than the young Hoosicr statesman.
IT'S mighty ncrty thing for hcpub-
ucau momhers of the house to D. aa-
sertlng that they are lu movement

that the power of the presiding officer

curbed. and set there is lots of talk
about doing that very thing. Members
who have such Intentions are dcuoui-
mated Insurgents" OF course thef
cannot hopc TO- accomplish anything
without an alliance with the Demo
crate. and that's where the uorNe
comes in. FOR lt takes bold Republi-

the majority of his own party assoc
cintes think would be- a. hard slap in
the face Tor Republican leaders. Jn-
dor the circumstances, therefore, Dr.
hardly seems reasonable 20 say there
is a probability OF success for the
insurgents" 1t &C. not proposed TO do
anything in that direction at this sos-
sion. The tussle. II IL should come on,
will not occur until the extra session
begins in March.
FORMER EFFORT OF INSURGENTS
THE last move on the part Of the
house insurgents" was in the Fifty
ninth Congress That was cngcndered
primarily on account Of the beet sugar
question, many members on the ma
iority side OF the hall feeling 10 neccs-
sarv TO oppose the Philippine tanh
bill because that measure proposed Go
lot IN Philippine sugar az such reduced
duty that they claimed 10 would ln-
iure. II not wipe out the industry in
some sections of the United states
That was a formidable uprising, ana
IL would have succeeded If the Demo-
Gratis had stood sondly with the cine
surgents." but the former were di-
vided, some being satisfied with any
proposition that would cut down Phil
ipplne duties and others not caring es-
pecially about the issue.
LONGING FOR BURROWS SEAT.
II reports are correct. Representa-
tive Townsend OF Michigan. who Is
prominent as an "insurgent' ia the
house has longing eyes upon the seat
IN the senate now filled by the Hon
Julius C. Burrows The former. nov
ever. even should he succeed in sup
planting the senator, win have another
fun term 60 serve ia the lower branch
of Congress, FOR the term Of MT. Bur
rows VIII not expire until March A. 1911
At one time Michigan sent nothing but
millionaires 20 the senate. The pres
ent senators are not blessed with large
bank accounts, being ranked as among
the poorer men In tho American
house OF lords" Away back Zach
Chandler and Thomas W. Ferry were
millionaire senator's from Micnigani
then the late Omar d. Couger was a
poor one who was promoted from the
house. After that came multlmillion
aires from the state 10 the senate, like
Thomas W Palmer, Francis b. stock
bridge, Russell A. Alger and James Nc
MILAN. All the last named are dead
except Mr. Palmer who Is rs and SIN
one OF the f0rcefu men In Detroit.
