THE CRACK OF doom

WASHINGTON, April Awe will
stick till the crack of DOOM" was the
remark of Senator Dawes, after the
republican caucus this morning. Other
republican senators talkedin tho same
tone, but the "crack Of doom" will
come by and by. Several republicans
notably Frye and Hale, Of Maine,
intimated in conversation after the
caucus that the soone "the crack Of
DOOM came the better it would be
for the republican side. The senti-
ment of the caucus, however, was in
favor of sticking to the old plan Of
battle a while longer. The fact is, the
Conkling- Gorham crowd are appealing
to republicans and urging that il
would not be fair or manly to go back
on Malone, and the appeal is reason
able, inasmuch as Malone has com
pleted his part of the bargain by
giving the republicans control of the
committees, but the republicans would
be eyerlastingly thankful to MohonC
if he would only haul off Riddleber.

better than the senate remains to be
seen. In one matter he has made a
very poor beginning. While the re.
publican senators have been fighting a
losing fght for Mr.. Riddleberger, the
president has attempted to turn out
Of office a southern man of undoubted
and acknowledged ability, Mr.. Phillips,
Of North Carolina, who has held the
Office Of solicitor-general for six or
seven years, and has shown himself in
that very important place q sound and
able lawyer, a man of undoubted IN
tegrity and capacity for his work. Mr..
Phillips is a North Carolina republi-
can, a man Of the highest character,
precisely such a southern man as the
party ought to cherish, because he is
a credit to it. That he is to go out for
no fault of his is shown by the fact
that the president desired to make
him a judge in the court of claims.
Not being a nero ofice-grabber, Mr..
Phillips declined this sop. 1t is now
probable that Mr.. Chandler, who was
named to supplant Mr.. Phillips, will
be rejected by the senate, in which
case it is to be hoped the president
will be sufficiently we'll advised to ask
Mr.. Phillips TO remain sollcitor-gen-

The action Of the state legislature at
Nashville yesterday, in passing the
state debt funding bill providing for
its payment at par, with 3 per cent.
interest, the coupons to be receivable
for taxes, caused a lively movement in
Tennessee 6s in New York. For
years past they have varied in value
from 80 to 49c, advancing within a
few months past among the
ifties. Last evening they closed
at zoe, an advance during the
day of 16 to 19c on the several
series. The only chance remaining
for those who oppose the debt settle
ment in its present shape is to pre-
vent the legislature through parlia-
mentary tactics, sometimes called fill
clustering, from enacting any laws be-
fore the adjournment fixed for to.mor-
row whereby the taxes can be col
lected, or to find some flaw in the act
through the courts. There are a few
other plans limited ut to checkmatt
the movement, but they are not likely
TO succeed, and the probabilities indi
cate that the people will have to pay
the debt. 1t is the old story over in
new shape of the taxpayer falling into
