The Iowa Senator Does not fiinCe

MADISON, Wis, Nov 27.-The
system this week will be interest
ed in what Senator Dolliver of Iowa
says through the columns of La Foil
cites Weekly Magazine, about read
ing the insurgents out of the Repub-
| lican party.
Senator La Toilette informs the
standpatters that the task will not
be an easy one, and he corroborates
his statements by quoting what Sena-
tor Dolliver said, " with character
istic completeness and conclusive
ness" The editorial says: He dis
posed of it for all corners and for all
time at the conclusion of the tariff
debate. when, turning to Aldrich and
his associate in the senate, Dolliver
said:"
Il cannot support this measure,
because | am opposed to the methods
by which it has been prepared. A
distinguished leader of the senate in
the course of the debate took occas-
ion to say that nobody ought to

American people from one ocean to

I'VE have seen in this congress
spectacle that has discouraged my

compelled to bargain with the auth
critics which control the senate for
the protection of the interests of
their own people.

here not by an appeal publicly and

American people now is to examine
that citadel and see by what right 1t
is entitled not only to protect itself,
but to barter away the privileges
and the advantages of the protective
