J8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. PA THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURO, PA. THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 190S. WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, March 2, 1908 Rarely has the supreme power of the Speaker of the House, under Reed rules, been more clearly dem onstrated than it promises to be when the AUlrich financial bill goes over to the House. There seems to be little doubt that a very consider able majority of the House earnest ly and conscientiously opposes the bill. It is probably true, too, that a considerable majority favors ti e Fowler measure, which in Itheory and principle is the antithesis of the Alurich measure. Despite this situation, however, Mr. Cannon comes over to the Senate at frequent intervals and assures the author of the Senate measure that he need have no anxiety as he, Cannon, will "whip the insurgents into line and make them vote for the Al drich bill." Another striking instance of the Speaker s autocracy is to be found in his opposition to the Appalachian and the vv lute Mountain forest re serves. There are no Republican votes to speak of in the vicinity of the proposed Appalachian reserve and therefore the Speaker has caus ed it to be referred to the Judiciary Committee, with a view to prevent ing any action whatever. For a time Mr. Cannon was rather more favorable to the White Mountain proposirion. He has opposed this for years, but recently it was point ed out to him that it would be im possible to secure any Cannon dele gates in New England if he contin ued his opposition, and he appeared temporarily to relent. Now that it is becoming daily more obvious that there will be no Cannon delegates from New England, anyway, there is resuscitation of the Speaker's op position. The Democrats in the Senate are not presenting as forceful an oppo' sition to the Aldrich bill as they might if they would only get to gether. As matters now stand, Senators Eaile-y, and Owen of Ok lahoma, stand for a bond secured currency, while a majority of Dem ocratic Senators are opposed to this form of circulation. Of course were the Democrats to present a united front their opposition would be more effective, especially as the Re publicans are not a unit in its sup port. Another radical difference oetween Democrats is that regard ing bank reserves. Senator Johns ton has introduced an amendment which will have considerable Dem ocratic support and will doubtless be adopted, providing that national banks must retain two-thirds of their reserves in their own vaults but one-half of this fraction may be ;n the securities enumerated in the A 1 J" 1. 1 1 .f 1 . iiuiicu uui, kju me outer nana. Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, is violently opposed to this measure. Numerous Democrats are in favor of the Nelson amendment guaran teeing all depositors in national banks against loss which is a policy advocated by Mr. Bryan, but on the other hand, Senator Paynter of Kentucky is earnestly opposed to this provision and will make a .speech against it. Were the Dem ocrats solidly for it they could prob ably attach it to the bill, as they would receive considerable help i'rom the Republicans. The outcome of the Brownsville investigation demonstrates to a .striking degree the evil resulting from the enfranchisement of the negroes. It is probably a safe as sertion that no Senator who heard the evidence against the negro sol iers of the 25th Infantry doubts G. A. It. COMMANDER Ju. S, Dean, Gen. Grant Post, Rondont, N. Y. CURED OF DYSPEPSIA Commander Dean writes : " As Chief TJ. 8. Mail Agent of the TJ. & D. It. It., Rood ' health is indixpenHable. I found myself, however all run down with Dyspepsia.

Lowell, Mass, the guilt of some members of that regiment in connection with the snooting up" ot Brownsville. Only two members of the Military Affairs Committee. Foraker and Bulkeley, were willing to vote for tne roraker resolution declaring . . . .. . . : - tnat tne evidence showed that the negroes did not do the shooting. Nevertheless, when it came to say ine that the neeroes did do it. five Senators, all Republicans, were found who were afraid to express their convictions. They were For aker, Bulkelev. Scott. Ilemenwav and DuPont. In the case of Du Pont, he said he was convinced that the shots were fired from n'flps which had been Issued to the 25th Infantry and which were in the hands of negroes, but was not will ing to snv it was the neero trooners who did the shooting. But al though a large majority of the com mittee voted for a resolution savin? the negro soldiers did do the shoot ing, Mr. Foraker has introduced a bill providing that the discharged soldiers shall all be restored to the army and to their respective rank and shall receive all back mv. Of course the Ohio Senator does not expect such a bill to pass, but he uopes to make political capital with the neeroes and incidentally to in jure Secretary Taft. The only man wno nas m anyway profited by the Brownsville investigation, which has cost thousands of dollars, is Senator Foraker who has charged the government with a hotel bill of $6 a day for the three months of the investigation, despite the fact tnat an mat time he was living at his own handsome residence in Washington. j Another evidence of the demor alizing effect of negro suffrage on ine Kepuoncan party is the violent effort which is being made by Mr. rorater ana others to secure con testing delegations from the South ern states. It is well known that it only takes a box of cigars and a very few one dollar bills to get up a contesting Republican delegation in any southern state, and yet there is a possibility that the decision of the next Republican National Con vention may be dictated by these contesting delegations. Such a sit uation is deplorable from any stand point, although there is satisfaction of knowing that such a course by the Republicans would unquestion ably insure the election of Mr Bryan.
