WASHINGTON, Dee. 1.-The wheels OF hg-
islation again go around. It is the same
weary grind, the same faces are in the CALLER
les, the same men and women float about
the loboies, the same anxious souls aOck
about the dOorkeeper with the same cards
written Oh scraps of paper from the same
convenient telegraph Office, the same tobacco
stains frescOe every corner Of the marble
building and tiled floors, aud within the
mouse aud senate the same weary, nOnoton-
ous drawl tells the presence OF the same
congress. The gavel fell at noon
in either end Of the capitol. For an
hour or Two before the time Of meeting
the members had been gathering, and in the
hail OF the house the scene was quite inter-
esting and altogether amusing to the OBJ
server. Many Of the Democratic members
had not seen each other since adjournment
last summer, when they went home with only
a hall hope OF success. aud now that they
come back successful personally and in the
general contest, their enthusiasm knows no
bounds. Grave men shook hands over the
result with a iervor that would not have been
expected Of their years and dignity, aud some
actually hugged each other in the ecstasy OF
their Joy.
THE REPRESENTATIVES,.
Speaker Carlisle, smooth shaven and fresh,
received congratulations aud assurances Of a
busy winter, while ex-Speaker Randall was
the center of good natured group, who sp-
pear To be unwilling to give him up in the
house for the treasury portfolio. Little Sam
Cox was everywhere al once, congratuating
AMI being congratulated, condolng with the
Republicans and making himself generally
busy. The happiest man in the house, ap-
parently, was "DicK" Townshend, who was
radiant. "Dick'' can make more noise
for his size than any man in
the house. II he was rs
large as Stewart, of Texas, the hall Of the
1ouse would not hold his capacious voice in
an hour of victory such as this. Holman the
''Objector" was on hand, occupying his seat
AS usual, watching everything about him In
nis customary quiet way, entirely void of en-
thusiasm even when somebody proposed him
FOR a cabinet place. he doesn't want one
and it is doubtful If he would take Que II
offered, for be realizes that in the hour Of vic
tory, even more than at any other time. the
"boys" need firm hand on the safety valve.
and be can apply it better from his seat in
TIE house than anywhere else. That Is what
the ''boys" realize, too, and so they are
anxious TO get him out but they will not sue
ceed.
THE SENATORS.
atorc Raol-
a half dozen more, were joining in a little
quiet jollilcation over the result. Senator
Pendleton looked as happy as a man can
over somebody else's success aud his own
iefeat and to anxious inquiries replied he
had no doubt of the observance of the civil
service rules by President Cleveland. SEN
dor Logan was warmly greeted by friends
and foe, and congratulated upon the good
light he made. His colleague, Senator CuI-
.om, was on deck, happy in the
understanding that his Mormon
oil is likely to get action this
winter. The familiar face aud figure OF Capt
Bassett, the veteran assistant doorkeeper.
who has been constantly in the service of the
senate for fiity-three years, were heartily
greeted by all, for the senators are very fond
0i the old man. Chief Clerk johnson was
in his place, his voice clear aad frseh. after
Is long rest in the Minnesota air, aud his
eountenance radiant with delight over the
advent of Iceberg Giidan, the frigid infu-
enee of whose presence II is expected will be
an efTeetual bar to any heated debates in the
aouse.

the fray.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CALENDARS.
The house and senate calendars rroan
beneath the weight of their burdens. In
the senate the calendar has some 300 OF 400
bills Of importance. Among them are the
educational bill, the repeal of the timber
culture act, the bills relating to lauds
granted to railroads, the postal telegraph bin,
the bill providing system of inspection
of meats before expectation and
many others. The house calendar has per-
haps a thousand bills ready for action, and
there are probably thousand more in the
pockets Of members ready to be presented,
while several thousand are in the committee
room awaiting action, and they will wait
long time, ton, for the bill that gets through
the long session without committee action
stands very slim show in
a short one. Among the more important
bills on the house calendar are the Mexican
pension bill, the congressional library bill
which appropriates 1000, 600 for q library
building and will never pass, the bills relat-
ing 10 railroad land grants, which Mr.. Cobb
says must 90 through this session, the Utah
bill, the bill relating to the opening Of the
Sioux reservation in Dakota, the bankruptcy
bill, for which there Is to be great pressure
this session, and dozens of others OF impor-
tsnce.
