A MAD MEMBER.
He Thinks the Democrats Display
WyDOcrfsy.


ut passes my comprehension, this
meanness of the Democratic party" said
Republican Member to-day. ~ cali it
meanness, because It is meanness, although
the party calls it economy aud reform"
What do you refer to ?"
"This cutting down ofappropriatioa bills
is what refer to. Why, pointed out to
the Democrats last week whore they were
cutting down the appropriations for items
in The Postofllce bill far below what they
knew IL would cost TO do the service, and
they knew, too, that they did not intend
that the service should be curtailed."
Then why did they cut 1t down 2"
ITO make the aggregate less In tho bill
as 1t came in. They were confident that IL
would be increased to what was required.
Then they would get the service aud the
glory there was in 1t. Tho Democrats want
to go before the country again on a reputa-
tion Of saving money In the expenses Of the
Government, and they are glad to make n
scaling anywhere, whether 1t Is reasonable
or not, knowing that tho Republicans will
restore the amount and assume the respou-
sibility. The Democrats are as full of hy-
pocrisy as ever l find"
Another Mad Member.
What this Congress needs more than
anything else," said another Member, "is
nerve. There is as much difference between
the Forty seventh and Forty-eighth Con-
crosses as there is between daylight and
midnight"
What do you refer to ?" was asked.
ooh, l speak generally" replied he.
There arc enough propositions in the
House to make reputation for the Demo-
cratic party, If 1t would take them up aud
deal with them as It processes to want to.
The bills to regulate the trade on land and
water, as they appear in different forms,
present great economic problems. The party
will meet nothing that is new and vigor-
Gus. If a committee reports a measure
that is in any way new departure, somo
man on tho Democratic side of tho House
will object to taking 1t up, and it lies on
the table or calendar"
THE party has policy-eh?'
Yes and it is demagogism. really
wonder If Democratic House thinks IL
can pull.the wool over the eyes of the peo-
pie by refusing to do thing, when it has
promised it and can do it?'
