claim that the time occupied in the delay is
absolutely necessary to handle the mail"
With reference to the report that the mail
was detained in Chicago for the accommoda-
ton of the morning papers of that city, the
reporter was shown a recent number OF the
Chicago Tribune containing an editorial
in which the arrogant assumption Is
made that unless the Chicago papers
were enabled to catch the fast mail the read
ers of the northwest would be without
news.
In conversation with other prominent cit
liens the hope was expressed that the fast

man to preside over such an unruly body as

Where moral suasion often fails, imperti-

JOE WAS QUITE TOO FREE

safe man in the chair. During the past
week the house has had good taste of Black
burns style as a speaker. Carlisle caught a
bad cold or his visit to Cleveland and has
kept il doors since his return and Joe has
filed the vacant chair. It is said that the
managers wanted u man in the chair, during

could bulldoze the cranks and com

stepped from taking the chair by the ETH

cope successfully with cross grained, mis-
chievous and disorlery spirits. Hence Joe
was pnt in charge and told to make
SHORT WORK WITH DIssENTERs.
For one week at least the managers favored
a strong centralized government with a
despot in the chair, and Blackburn had sand
to qualify him for the office. Whether this be
so or not Blackburn has certainly
been an efficient speaker. His voice has roared
through the halls in thunder tones. His big
muscles have brought the gavel down on the
eesk with thumps that drowned out dis
orderly shouts OF members ami he has been
properly blind and deaf TO wrong persons.

tors, the hair splitters and the nice inter

Arthur VIII Call al Extra Senate Session.
Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is expected that
President Arthur will, after having commu
nicated with President elect Cleveland, issue
proclamation converting the senate in ex
ira session on the 4th OF March for the pur-
pose of considering the cabinet and other
ident Hayes issued, about a week
before going out of Office, proclamation
converting the senate in executive session On
the day that President Garfield was inaugu-
rated. The senate simply met after the in
augural proceedings were over and adjourned
It'll the following day, when the president
sent in his cabinet nominations. There is
no reason to think otherwise than that the
course which was pursued four years ago will
be followed this year, and if 1t is, the names
of the new cabinet will probably be made
known about the 5th or 9th of March
Regarding the talk about an extra
session of congress, the general drift is that
all the appropriation bills can be passed in
some shape or another before the 4th OF
March, which day brings the present con-
gress to an end. Representative Kelley says
that the ways and means committee will
have no further bills of general character to
bring before the house this session, and that
legislation outside of the appropriation bills
is practically ended. A good many of the
committee are still at work on bills, but be-
yond getting them into shape and placed
on the house calendar, their action will
amount to nothing
