Berry.1 dem ocrat, of Arkansas, first addressed the senate in support of the resolution re cently introduced 1sy Bacon detiKcra4. of Georgia, regarding the disposition, of the Philippines. ; He was iollowed by Pettigrew, silver republican, of Sotttli Dakota, in support of his resolution of inquiry. Pettigrew -was very bitter in his attack upon the administration. ! Wolcott, reptAlkran of Colorado, re plied to" Petti grew; scathingly arraign ing the -South Dakota senator for the attitude he had assumed on thei Philip pine question. - j He declared hat if Aguinaldo himself occupied the seat in the senate occupied by Pettigrew. repre senting the people of South Dakota who had sent their sons as soldiers, to the Philippines, lie would be too patriotic, too devoted to the interests of -the coun try, to assume the attitude assjumsed w the present South Dakota senator, f Wolcott referred also to tlW speech recently delivered by lieverklge, repub lican, of Indiana, sharply criticizing it for the spirit of greed whicli seemed to animate the senator in tanakin-g such a deliverance. .

No belter demonstration of the; value of the seriate as a pnblic fortwn couhi, be found than in this speech. There were in the country 70.000,000. people, Rood, ind and indifferent. I hey were mostly crood. but scattered through every, 'com munity there were discontented and un happy people; people who bad not been successful, and who viewed with sus picion and hatred all those whose lives had been connected with success. It was fitting that such people sluould be represented here. '' . .
