who are little of color in their financial
as chairmen on the committees on bank
ing and currency and coinsge, weights
and measures-Messrs. Bucknsr and Bland
of Missouri. The understanding of we'll
informed members is that these selections
do not indicate any legislation hostile to
the national banks or honest money. The
present laws will be left unchanged. The
house will not allow any experimenting
the eve of presidential
election whe., greenbackism has lost
its political i t'rence. 1t is doubtful if
Messrs. Buckner and Bland have MAORI
ties of their committees with them, and
they certainly have not a majority of the
house with them. But Mr.. Bland will pre-
veat the passage of bill stopping tie
silver coinage. Mr.. Kelly has been on
every side of the silver question. He re-
ported the bill demonetiziug silver; then
he took it all back and howled for the
dollar Of the fathers, and insisted that if
we coined silver Europe would have to
follow suit; and now that the
he has discovered that it is only by
stopping the coinage of silver we can COM
pei Europe to treat the metal with respect.
The Democrats say hlr. Kelley can wait
for an experiment On his new theory and
that if the Democrats lsave silver where
they found it the Republicans cannot COM
plain. The financial question is not just
now in politics, and the Democrats do not
want TO get it in.
sTHK WAYS AND MEANS ooMMITTEH.
The ways and means committee was
picked out as to majority of it for the
purpose of revising the tariff, and it is
stated that Mr.. Herbert is not to be count
ed among the protective Democrats.
The members of the committee claim to
be conservative, and disclaim any feloni-
Gus designs on American Industries, but
the committee will bring in a bill revising
the tariff in the direction OF lower duties
on many articles. The low tariff men on
the committee are not entirely confident
of their ability to get such a bill through
the house, as it is unknown how many high
tariff Dam ocrats will unite with the Re-
publicans. 1t is certain that the woolnen,
who are demanding q return to the duties
in existence year ago will be disappointed.
Mr.. Morrison is going to work immedi-
ately on tariff bill, and will have meet
ing of his committee during the recess, if
enough of the members are in the city.
Mr.. Hurd will not try to put wool on the
free list. He will content himself with re-
sisting the efforts of Mr.. Converse and
others TO increase the wool duty. The COM
mittee will do what it can to lower the
duties on raw materials.
KIoKERg
Mr.. Deuster. of Milwaukee, is not salts
fed with his assignments. He thought he
was entitled to charm anship or to a
place on the committee on ways and
means. Mr.. Carlisle thought that, repre-
senting one of the lake ports, he would be
pleased to be on committee on ship build
ing and owning, but it appears that he
has no marine tastes. He might perhaps
have had a place on the ways and means
but for the fact that when he came to the
city he was a Randall man, and it was sup
posed from that that he was a high tarif
man. Before the close of the contest b,
went over 10 Carlisle, but in making NJ
the ways and means committee the speak
er could not afford to make any mistake
and he would appoint only men who's
views on the tariff he was entirely sure OF
In regard to Mr.. Springer his assign
ment was due less to Colonel Morrison
than Mr.. Springer's friends can ever b.
made to believe. Colonel Morrison kne,
that if Mr.. Springer did not get what
wanted and what ne had told the speake
he was entitled TO, it would be attribute,
to him, and would be used against hin
in Illinois wherever Mr.. Springs
has friends, and for this reason he wouli
have been glad to have Mr.. Syringe
treated well. Bat Mr.. Carlisle does 10
like Mr.. Springer, and disposed of hin
without any advice from any source Tw
members who were supporting Randall
four years ago, but who supported Carlisl
in the late contest, told Mr.. Carlisle the
four years ago when Blackburn was rur
ming against Randall for the nominatio
and wss supported by Carlisle and Morr
son, Springer was negotiating with Raj
dali for the craftsmanship of the electi OF
committee for a week while he was fr,
quenting the Blackburn headquarters, an
processing to be a supporter of Blackbur,
and that he gave Randall the informatio
that he got at the rival headquarters. NJ
Springer and his friends Indignantly der
this story of double dealing, out it VI
told to Mr.. Carlisle and the latter believ,
it. However, Mr. Carlisle dia not inte,
to bury Mr.. Springer SO completely as Il
latter thinks he has been buried. MIR. Ca
Isle believed that the only investigate
that would be made at this session
congress would be al Investigate,
of the department of justi
and he believed that the management
this investigation would be convenient

man IN the house to put in charge of
Although Mr.. Springer says there is not
Ing but old straw to be threshed over, al
he does not care to undertake that sort
thing, 1t Is not unlikely that he will thil
better Of it and carry out the speakers i
tentions.
