THE TROUBLES OF BOTH PARTIES ON TIE CUR
REEcY oUEsTIoN-DEMocRArIc LEADERS BID
ING THEIR TIME
They have joke flying about the House to-day that
the democratic caucus last night held ''for discus
sion only, measures to bs proposed adopted. 4"
1t does not come very far from the truth Whatever
the caucus did it did not produce unanimity in the
party, and there to-day who do not much
whether the macEine bursts or not
The great question which troubles the more peace
ably inclined democrats is how contract without
tracing. At one time during the there
momentary belief that Mr.. Payne, Of Ohio,
had made the grand discovery He has a
persuasive manner and his speech seemed to tend
toward harmonious settlement Of differences, but the
antcontractionists, who have their eyes very wide
open presently saw that he had really no practical
proposition to make which would their demands
What they want far they know, is to seat their
cake and keep pit"
The differences in both parties on both the currency
and revenue questions entirely irreconcilable The
republicans united than their opponents
and whatever measure is adopted by either house
elher OF these questions be by majority
composed Of men Of both parties Not the dsci-
pne under which the minority act would prevent many
republicans from voting with the democrats for ina
tion ifan imitation should bc produced by them
One hopeful sign for currency reform just in the
House is that everybody, with few exceptions, believes
that the people demand something and that therefore,
to do nothing and let things drift would be mistake
and 1t begins also to be seen, by those who watch
closely, that the Speaker is strong and that he
has with him number of other strong mon who do
that their party shall be dragged away into
imitation follies and whose influence and power grows
slowly but continually. These have courage and
patience and they know that the session must be long
one They not in hurry, nor are they much
alarmed about small blunders II looks as though they
would get the control by and by.
