be given to justify a people for abandoning
all principle, and allowing present expe-
diency to prompt an action unqualifedly de-
nounced as monstrous few months back
Already the effects of the act begin to crop
out and the cu1ious attitude of the Conserva-
tive House exhibited The kellogg Crowd
now kick against compromise, and we stand
to be laughed at by these men, with whom we
have not been treating, but who are parties to
the bargain.
Whipping In.
'What will they do with it, is asked on
all sides, for after the brilliant performance
OF the Hahn circus Wednesday it was expected
that they would early show their hands
on the Wheeler treaty. Pitt is hard at work
trying to rub down the fur on his legislative
pussy, and to urge speedy acquiesence in
his plans. He states that he made the com

the same time he hints darby that there is a
man at the other end of the wire, with cigar
IN his mouth, who may call upon his faithful

hair.
Those Senators.
The dispatch received here Wednesday from
Mr.. Mari stating that Senators refuse to ad-
wise on the adjustment question, and that it
was considered a delusion, produced consid-
cradle stir, because it had been advanced
that Lamar, Gordon, and the others had tee-
graphed to accept it. If such is the case, and
We doubt it, the telegram should be given to
the public, tor some We're urged to support
the measure on the belief that these Senators
had sent on for us to close the negotiations
From the Country.
1t IS stated that several members of the
Caucus from the country have received dis
patches counseling them to reconsider their
action and vote down compromise Con-

IN their expression OF chagrin at the act of

action will be taken

Where is it Coming From
The burden OF the song SO repeatedly
rllled into the ears of our business men by
hose who are urging compromise, that trade
7ill brighten and commercial prosperity will
eturn with the completion Of the proposed
djustment, has already ceased to have the
attended effect. How Wheeler's plan of com
