Springer or any other Democrat who
should have attempted to reform
such abuses would have found his
party associates fighting against him.
He would have been voted down.
While this and much more is true,
there is little partisan comfort in
the fact that dissension in the Re-
publican party is becoming more
pronounced every day. This will
not result in immediate good to the
country, for the Republican party,
though it may divide on some mat
tiers, is unit on the subject of keep
ing Government expenditures at the
highest point, but it affords hope
that, however, derelict in it's dis
charge of duty the Democratic House
may be, it may yet be sustained by
the people as q choice of evils.
On Saturday, the Senate Republic
cans held o caucus to determine on
the treatment to be extended to Mr..
Hayes. Those present were nearly
all in sympathy with Senator Howe,
whose whole speech of last week was
an attack upon the Administration
and all it has done, but it was decid-
ed to do nothing in the premises.
On some day of this week resolu-
tion will be offered in the Senate for
the appointment of a Committee to
consider our commercial and other
relations with the British Provinces.
Mr.. Blaine will be Chairman of the
Senate Committee. It will be re-
membered that, early in the session,
Mr.. Conkling was make Chairman
of a similar Committee raised to
take charge of our relations with
Mexico. That Committee will soon
make an important report, recon-
mending course of action which, it
is hoped, will give comparative Sc
curity to people on both sides the
line, assist the development of trade
between the two counties, and help
to strengthen the Government OF
Mexico.
