IPY TELEGRAPH TRBUSRI
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Speakcr Randalps chances
of reelection appear to diminish rapidly as the end
of his present term approaches In his zeal to serve
his party he has overdOne the thing, and has made
himself unpopular with the moderate Democrats,
who think that it is not proper that presiding Off
Ger should be unnecessarily and Extensively partisan
When Mr.. Randall ran against Mr.. Kerr at the open
ing of the present Congress- he represented the more
liberal and progressive element in the Democracy,
and it was believed, when he finally reached
the goal of his ambition last December
that his influence would be conservative and
salutary Instead of this being the case, he has won
the reputation of being the most unfair Speaker that
has occupied the chair since the memory of tho old
est member. His zeal TO accomplish partisan ends
has run completely away with his respect for the
rules and precedents, and for the rights of the
minority In thus forgetting that he is the Speaker
of the House and not of side of he has lost the
respect of the party whose interests he is so
eager to advance and he can no longer
be counted among it's leaders. His violent
speech in the caucus last night appears to have com
pleted his political ruin. II is said to have been in
temperate and revolutionary. To what extent he
has forfeited the confidence of the Democrats and

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-FOr a second time the
Joint session was resumed at about quarter past o.
The count again proceeded and went as far as the
State of Nevada. Then objection was made by
Mr. Springer to the vote of an elector from that
State on the ground of Inegibilty. The Senate
again retired. Another motion for recess until lo
o'clock tomorrow was introduced in the House, and
OH call of the roll was apparently defeated but
many of the. Republicans being thoroughly
convinced of the disposition of the Democrats to
push the count forward without unnecessary delay.
and being wearied with the length OF the session,
which had continued for more than eight hours,
changed their votes, and the House tosk recess
until 10 o'clock Tomorrow. The Nevada case ex-
ha,isted the patience of the Senate. The objections
were not even listened to. Mr.. Jones's resolution
that the vote be counted was adopted unanimously,
without even the formaty of roll call.

BUILDING MATERIALS.

THE TRADE IN UUILDlN0 MAIEAI4L8
was snnalcr than In tho previous year, aud un-
rcmunurat!ve. The production OF common
brick was reduced, but the local demand fell on
from last season, and competition between
sellers bore prices down TO figure which left
littio II any profit to the manufacturer. Tho
low prices attracted outside orders, aud large
quantities OF brlck wero shipped for tho lrst
t.nc to Peoria aid other inland towns aud to
Michigan. Tic declIuc in summer caused tho
manufacturers to run thctr yards not over half
their capacity, aud In the fall the stock proved
to be much less tian usun', and prices gradually
advanced, aHl dealers hope to makc small
profit on the stock carried over. Old brick sold
curly at $7.U0 per IN, declined Boon TO $t.95, and
summer prices for new brick were Sl..5494 50,
closing al $0,o5ls6.50.

lless WIS not very profitable, but It IL now con.

IL tho general verdict returned by tho Jury
experts who have patiently canyasscd tho re-
turns Of tllelr own business In tho manufacture
Of brick in 1916. The opinion Is prevailing that
brlck.malstng has ceased to be Legitimate busl-
ncss in this city, aud not few manufacturers
tnlk of withdrawing their capital from tho trade,
and investing 1t III more profitable operations.
A few, who worked under great encouragement
In 1875, have already taken this course. The
evil OF ovcrproluctton cannot be advanced as
having been influential In causing tho weakness
OF tho past years. market. Tho ten
lcncy has been to manufacture only
for Immediate demand, there not
being moro than II, ,0o0, ,0oO brick on the market
al the present date. Tho trouble rests iu tho
inability Of the builder to pay cash for bis pur-
c1ascs. The inclination to build an1 the need
Of moro buildings WAS nearly as great In 1876 q
