The Trouble In the Democratic Ranks.
WASHINGTON, January Ah.-An uucallsd and sN-
traordlnary attack upon Mr Raudall-reading him
ont OF the Democratic party for his CppoSi on TO
the tarlh agltatlOu-has been written for the Bos-
ton Post by its correspondents and the Speakers
Private Secretary. Ii has NsrniShed food for N ,ch
comment among the members There is a genera:
the publication OF this article, although under the
circumstances, he has to bear the hruut Of it. and
II the same lime, It is said shat he does not feel
annoyed by Its publication. Mr. Randall has read
the article, and will soon ascertain if Carlisle is re
sponsible for it. The Democrats generally, reaz..
ing the critical condition Of affairs within the party
regret all publications that terd to breed disunion
and III feeling between the factions All statements
which represent Randall as 4 marplot, trying 10 in
teriere with the tariff pro ramme Of the majority
are false. Randall accepted the victory Of
his opponents in the Sp6akerShip fight a triumph
for the party favcring tariff agitation lie does not
think that Carlisle, Morrison, HuTd and Hewitt
could be SO false to their promises Of revenue egis
ation as to fail to bring in a tariff b:l OF sore sort
be has not, nor will not, interpose single objec
tioD, public or private, 10 prevent the Ways and
Means Committee from reporting . tariff bill
Whether the committee will be able 10 agree upon
measure, he has no means Of knowing, and whether
he can support such a bill as it may report depends
entirely upon circumstances. Randall has little faith
TO agree upon moderate bill, but he wishes the
free traders 20 have all the rope theycsn use TO bind
the party together 10 the support Of the revision Of
the tariff Thus far the relations between Car
Isle and Randall have been OF very pleasant
character. The latter has been consulted about
party movements. His position ss leader has been
conceded, and have been prufiered him, and toI
these reasons il is difficult to believe that the
Speaker has approved or counteEanced the attack
made by his Secretary upon the Peunsy vauilu
Mr. Hewitt was asked by YOUR correspondent to-
day what he thought ut the possibilities OF reacbrs
an agreement IN the Ways and Means Committee on
the tariff " hope We will be able TO agree urOu A
bill, ana think there should be q disposition on
the part Of members Of the committee 70 exercise
ior6earance amd make mutual CONCESSIONS but, as
to the possibilities Of agreeing, that is a matter to
be determined in the future, and prefer not to eN.

The Mileage Question.
WASHINGTON, January representative Miller,
u Pennsy lyanla, Is a member Jf the House Com
miitee on Mileage, and he is preparing bill which
viii agitate members who reside at points remote
from the Capitol. Under the existing law mem.
hers receive twenty cents a mile each way to the
Capitol from their homes and return every session
OF Congress. Tney are expected to journey by the
most usually travelled route Instead Of making
two bills, the member receives, up D. his arrival
here at the beginning Of the ses ion, Gn amount
equivalent 10 forty cents per mile for the round trip
from his home 70 Washington and return The Pa
cIhc coast members receive about 81 800 spece in
mileage alone, and some OF them are presumed to
travel with passes, this money goes far towards pay
ing their winter board bills. The largest sum ever
received by a member Of Congress was paid to the
delegate from Washington Territory, who, before
the completion Cf the Northern Pacific Railroad
was obliged to travel overland to Portland, Or,
thence by steamer to San Francisco and over the
Union and Central Pacific Railroads east he re-
ceived over sl,700 mileage each session. Some of
the members Of Congress from far distant States
have remained in Washington during the entire
summer recess, and at the beginning Of the new
their homes to the Capitol. Miller proposes to in
troduce bill abolishing mileage, and allowing
members to charge their actual travelling expenses
simply.
