Prospect that the Republicans VIII Agree
a Plan of Action.


on a Plan of Action.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Feb. 23.-The publication of
the true inwardness of the Republican eau
Gus last night in two or three papers has
aroused the Republicans to renewed activ
ity. Messrs. Keifer Reed Robson, Hiscock
and Kelley, who openly assumed the role of
obstructionists in the caucus, were sur
rounded by indignant colleagues to-day, and
charged with trying to run the party to sub
serve selfish ends. They were told that if
they did not cease their attempts to prevent
legislation they would be assailed on the
floor of the House, and the exact facts given
to the world. The pressure was overwhelm-
ing Wrathful members shook their fists in
the faces of che representatives of
the obstructive element, and final
ly they receded from the position
assumed last night and agreed to interpose
no further opposition to the wishes of the
majority of their party associates Mr..
Haskell labored with Speaker Keifer for sew
eral hours to prove that the position he had
taken on several parliamentary points, last
night, was wrong and he succeeded in con-
vincing the Speaker. An understanding was
arrived at, toward evening, and paper was
put in circulation which was signed by
great majority of Republicans, pledging sup
port to a proposition to amend the rules so
as to enable majority to nonconcur in the
Senate amendments and send the bill
to a conference committee in one motion.
The absolute necessity of a revision
of the Senate amendments before they can
be engrafted in the law of the land is no
longer disputed. The omission of semi
colon in one of the paragraphs in the metal
schedule raises the duty on pg-iron, bar-iron.
and Bessemer .crucible steel, $500 above the
rates intended. The Senate has also raised
the duty on Swedish bar-iron to between $40
and $50 per ton, through inadvertence. In
a dozen places indisputable evidence of
bungling is shown, and to pass the bill as it
came from the Senate would, in the opinion
of many, do more damage than a failure to
pass bill at all.
THE Secretary of the Treasury would have
to rewrite the whole bill" was the remark of
Massachusetts member. A number of
extreme protectionists say they will not be
bound by the agreement referred to, and ex-
ultingly claim that Messrs. Keller, Reed and
Robson. who compose majority of the
committee on rules, will not report to the
House as directed, and that without their
assistance nothing can be done. Despite the
painful anxiety of the best element on the
Republican side to secure legislation, the
hope off successful issue to the tariff ques-
ton of the Forty-seventh Congress is not the
brightest.

REpUBL1oAN DIFFERENCES.

The Democrats Taking All Possible Ad-
Vantage of the Situation.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The differences
among the Republicans in Congress over the
question of tariff revision afford the Demo
Gratis great pleasure. The concentration of
public attention upon the Republican row
will, they think, cause the fight which is 60
ing on in their own camp to be overlooked
and forgotten. They are as badly distracted
as the Republicans. The men who have as
sumed the Democratic leadership find
they cannot compel obedience to their
programme, and the plan they had fixed
upon, to take charge of the Senate bill and
force it through the House, has been in part
abandoned. Many of the Democrats have
refused point blank to adopt such aggressive
tactics. They hold that the House and Sem
ate bills are Republican measures that the
Republicans will be held responsible for
failure to act, and that they will not lift
hand to pass bill fathered by the Republic
ans, no matter what may be the needs of the
country. "If the Republicans are willing to
let the bills die, 1 do not see why we should
cry over it," is the expression commonly
heard among the Bourbons.

We have lately talked with a great
many immigrants, who have been looking
for homes in this county, They all com
plain that all the land is claimed by some
one, and they seem TO be very indignant
that the old settlers should endeavor to
smuggle 40 much of the land. One man
said to us: IL have travelled for three OF
four miles without seeing a house, and
yet every foot of that land was claimed
by some one. When I inquire of an old
settler FOR vacant land, he generally says
there is none in this vicinity Unless
something il done at once to induce people
to abandon these dummy claims and
give the immigrants an opportunity to get
home, We are going to turn the tide Of
immigration away from the Palouse ooun-
try. Hardly one acre in fifty in this
part of the country is bcieg put to any
use, yet the land hunter is sent away
because everybody says, "there is NO va
cant land here" Either make use of the
land or let some one have it that will

THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.

Honor the dear old mother. Time has
scattered the snowy fakes on her brow
plowed deep burrows on her cheeks, but
is she not sweet and beautiful now? The
lips are thin and shrunken, but those are
the lips which have kissed many hot
tear from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetest lips in the world The
eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft
radiance Of holy love which can never
fade. All, yes, she is dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run out, bat,
feeble as she is, she will 90 further and
reach down lower for you than any other
upon earth. You cannot walk into a
midnight where she cannot see you, you
cannot enter prison whose bars will
keep her out you cannot mount scaffold
too high for her to reach that she may
kiss and bless you in evidence of her
dcathless love- When the world shall
despise and forsake you, when it leavett
you BY the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in hel
feeble arms, and tell you of all your vir
tues until you almost forget that YOU
soul is dis6gured by vices Love hel
tenderly, and cheer her declining year
| with holy devotion.
