is what is bringing the young men to the
front in pclitios. An examination of the
faces of T resentatives as they sit at
their desks will show thai the
largest propol on of young men is with

studies politics attentively." 'One of my
principal fears fer the future arises from
the visible fact that the young Democrats
are asserting themselves. They are taking
control of the party,snd that means an OF
position to us of decision and aggres-
sion. Tue old Democrats have been made
timid by frequent defeats. They are
afraid to take positive stand and their
yacillating course has helped
the Republicans to many q
victory, but these youngsters are
now crowding the old fellows to The rear,
and their influence is felt already. Why,
just look; the young element has captured
about all the Offices of the house. The
old fogies were beaten out of their boots,

Mr.. HURD ON THE TARIFF.
Two of the men who vii! be members Of
the ways and means committee have given
expression to their views. Frank Hurd, it
is said, could have the chairmanship of the
judiciary. Hs does not want it, He pre-
fers The ways and means, This is his pro-
grcmme:
II DO rot thpk any general tariff will
be brought forwards but we will ask for
free salt, free sugar, free lumber, free bar
bed wire, free "copper""
do you propose to include all these
items in one bill or to present separate
bills covering single su5ject?" Mr.. aurd
was asked.
my preference is for single bills, but I
do not know how the matter will be ar
ranged. I shall introduce bill for free
wool at the earliest opportunity. do not
think that any of my Demo
cratic colleagues from Ohio will
vote for such a measure, but
intend to push it. I Irepudiated the sec
tlon OF our state platform which condemned
the action Of the last oongr ess for reduc-
ing the duty on wool, and I was elected by
a majority of 1,400, my constituents
understanding that I favored free wool.
One Michigan man was elected on the free
lumber and salt issue. There are many
protectionists who will vote to make these
articles free. seven-tenths of the people
OF Louisiana want free sugar. The sugar
industry in the south has been waning
for years past, and do not believe it is
right to longer continue the tariff on that
article to the great injury of the people of
the whole country"

"No," Mr.. Hurd replied, 81 do not ap

ENCLOSURE BILL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., DEC. 9-Senator
Ingalls, will soon introduce bill provid-
ing that any person who encloses an area
of public lands, 10 which he has no title,
shall be liable to fine of 800 a day the
time sach enclosure ls maintained, and
any person obstructing the passage of an
other over or through public domain,
shall for every offense pay the aggressed
person $500.
RESURvEY BILL.
Also bill authorizing the resurvey of
townships enormously surveyed, or in
which monuments marking the bound
aries have been obliterated or removed.
ADDITION TO KANSAS
Also measure providing for the anneza-
ton to one of the Kansas land districts
and for judicial purposes to district in
Kansas the unnamed area lying between
Kansas and the Indian territory.
Representative Converse, Ohio, has pre-
pared bill which he will introduce to-
morrow if possible, providing for the
restoration Of the rates of duty on cloth
ing, woods, combing woods, carpet and
other similar woods to what they were
prior to the enactment of the
present tariff laws. Represen-
tative Converse had conference yesterday
with DeIano, president of the wool grow
erS' association, ab WHICH lnS latIer gave
the proposed measure his endorsement,
and to -nigh Converse said he had no doubt
his bill would pass the house by a two
thirds majority. The wool growing indus
try, he said, was closely allied to the agri-
cultural and farming class, who were in
terested IN the restoration of the old rates
on wool, and this circumstance will give
the bill strength before the representatives
of the people. His state was the chief wool
producing state in the country, and had
suffered most severely from the reduction
made by the present tariff law. There were
in that state 10000 wool growers and their
loss on the sales of wools at the last annual
shipping amounted to more than 81 ,0OO,-
600. The effect of the reduction of the
tariff on the wool product has been felt so
keenly in Ohio by both political parties
there, who have pledged themselves to
wor6 for the restoration of the old rates.
UTAH LEGISLATURE.
Representative Casiday will shortly intro
duced bill to provide for the abolishment
of the territorial legislature of Utah and
the appointment instead, of a legislative
commission of thirteen or fifteen mem
bers, to be appointed by the president and
