With the reassembling o! Congress
the questions which have had rest
from unreasonable discussion for q few
weeks will again come up as themes
for Congressional rhetoric But it is
not improbable that the effect of the
recess will be manifest in an accession
of reasonableness in their treatment,
and that the Bland Silver bill espec-
tally will fare less kindly at the hands
of the returned Congressman than
would have been the case had action
been taken earlier. Association with
the people has strengthened the friends
of honest money in Congress, and it
is impossible that the strong popular
sentiment which has found expression
since the holidays shall be without its
influence on others. Another matter
to come up Immediately is the revis-
ion of the tariff, and this has received
such careful consideration in Commit
tee as to lead to the hope that its pre-
sentation will be in such shape as to
permit prompt and intelligent action.

to travel he intends to take a few
months leave of absence, and does not

them nothing, and will therefore not
go out of his way to protect their slen-

The Hon. George Ii. Pendle,on,
Democrat, has been elected United
States by the Legislature Of Ohio.
The Boston Post says sit was a
forecone conclusion that Ohio would
send cheap-money man to the Sen
ate, even before the Legislature which
was to elect him was chosen. In the
last campaign the two parties wed
with each other in bidding for the sup.
port of the cheap-money element, the
only difference being that the Repub-
lican candidate added a rampant com
munism to his purely financial here
sizes. If the Republicans had the pow
er in the Legislature, there is no ques
ton that they would send to the Unit
ed States Senate a man equally I'M
sound with Pendleton. There is little
difference on this score between the
parties, as there is between Mr.. Pen
dleton and bis Democratic rivals for
the place for which he has been select
ed and no party capital can be fairly
made from the situation. 1t is there
fore easier for Democrats of the gen
uine sort, advocates of the unchange-
able Democratic doctrine of hard
money and honest payment, to express
regret that the only choice of Senator
possible in Ohio is that of an apostle
IT paper money and ready advocate
of every scheme for making money
"cheap.' Mr.. Pendleton is an able
man, with reputation which does not
exaggerate his real strength and tai
ent but this renders his accession to
the ranks of the infationists all the
more regretable."
