WASHINGTON, January l6.-There is not
near 80 much enthusiasm now among the
Democrats here in Washington oyer their
prospects, for the Presidency as there was a
year ego. When tho Forty.seventh Con.
gress expired, on the fourth Of March last.
there was the most implicit confidence ex.
pressed by the representative Democrats
hero Of their ability to offer candidate to
tho people who would be elected. While
there was minority Of Democrats in the
House tho party was kept together easily.
AS soon, however, as they were In the
majority they quarreled. This Is one OF
the leading weaknesses Of the Democratic
party. II can't stand prosperity. .
On all tho leading issues the party lead
ers are at variance. The Pennsylvania and
como Of the Ohio members Join hands in
their determination to defeat a revision OF
the tariff. The west and south are much
nearer OF one opinion, but those sections
are 80. Jar apart that they cannot possibly
get together. Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylva.
mia, Gays nothing can be done on the tariff,
and yet the party Issues are not made up.
Mr.. Morrison, Of Illinois, chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee, does not 70
to work, but falters, as II he were saying
nothing can be done. Mr.. Blount, OF
Georgia, believes that no conclusion can
reached on new issues, and yet all be
acknowledge that the issue for the
impending campaign must be formed.
There seems but one move that the party
in Congress can agree upon, and that is
the investigation Of the Republican Office
holders. The result Of this all will be that
the Democratic party will 90 into the cam
paign with nothing new to sing. 1t has no
change OF programme, nor can it agree

WASHINGTON, January l6.-Messrs. Hoar,
Ingalls, and Garland compose the SUBJ
committee on bankruptcy Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. This cub committee
has for some time been considering the
several bills to establish uniform system
Of bankruptcy which have been presented.
There are two especial bills which are

bill, and the second as the equity bill OF
Senator ingalls,. 1t is probable that both

opposed to any legislation upon the sub.

yorably reported from the Judiciary
Committee by vote cf six to
three, tbut to the surprise OF the Senator
whose name it bore the Senate substituted
the Lowell bill for it by vote Of "a to 80.
That vote did not fairly represent the
strength Of the bill in the Senate, as there
were several Senators who voted with In.
gals against the substitution who would on
the question Of passing a bill have been
found to vote ior it, and as the changes
which have occurred in the Senate since

it is likely that come action will be taken
before the close OF the session. It is a no.
table fact, however, that almost the entire
opposition To bankruptcy legislation comes
from the south. -. ,.a.%
In the House the chances tf passing the
Lowell bill or any similar measure are
more dubious. Although majority OF the
members Of the judiciary Committee are
either outspoken in favor OF the Lowell
bill or inclined to give it q trial, there
seems to be little doubt about the senti-
ment Of the country at large. This week
delegations OF the various Boards Of Trade
will meet here in convention to discuss
the best means OF convincing Congress Of
