WAITING FOR A CHANGE.
"On our siie Of the senate" said a Dem
ocratie senator, "there is q general feeling
that we ought not to do anything this session
which might embarrass the incoming admin
istration, and l think Republican senators
are disposed TO yield 10 our wishes in this re-
spect. Here and there a man will be found
who will undertake to thrust forward i'm
portant measures that involve controversy.
As a rule, you may depend upon it, RepublI-
can senators are willing to defer questions
of governmental policy at home and abroad,
until the new president is installed. We
hope that Mr.. Cleveland viii give us a quiet
business administration, and he cannot do
that II he Is to be handicapped at the start by
foreign complications through the action OF
this congress. The Republicans, am sure,
are disposed TO give him q fair chance, aud
you will not venture much II you say very
little business of general importance will be
transacted during the remainder Of this ses-
sion, except the passage Of the general ap-
preparation bills.
