The last crew of surveyors
who we're here recently, suppos-

and departed. There is nothing
definite in railroad movements,
and no one knows any more in
regard to the building of the

did last fall. All this talk about

1t is probable that the battle
which has been decided in the
House in favor of the insurgents
will now be transferred to the
upper chamber of Congress.
The conditions there are similar
to those in the lower chamber.
Senators Aldrich, Hale, Lodge,
Smoot and others have long
formed a senatorial hierarchy as
dictatorial in the uppee chamber
and as impervious to popular
wishes as were Speaker Cannon
and his clique in the House.
They are opposed by senator
ial group no less aggressive, able
and determined than that which
overthrew the Speaker. Why
should the Senate any more than
the House succumb to this un-
just sectional authority, when
by combination with the Dem
ocrats they can make potent the
expression of the popular will ?
