The Tariff Bill.
1T MUST GIVE WAY FOR THE LEGISLATIVE AP-
PRoPRIATIoN BILL NEXT WEEK.

IL MUST CIV r. WAY FOX III LEGISLATIVE
PROPRIATION BILL NEXT WEEK
The legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill will be called up in the House this
week. 1t was expected that an effort would be
made to get up the tariff bill. Mr.. Morrison,
however, will probably hesitate about antago-
nizing the legislative bill, which will be in con-
troll of MIR. Holman, who would necessarily
vote for his own bill, although he is a tariff re-
former. 1t is therefore likely that the effort to
get up the tariff bill will be abandoned to make
way tor the consideration of the appropriation
bill. The discussion on the legislative bill
promises to be prolonged and bitter on account
OF the civil service commission clause, and the
changes in the departmental force, heretofore
mentioned in THE STAR. The tariff contest
will be delayed accordingly. But soon as the
appropriation bill is passed, the tariff bill will
come up and its tate will bcllnown in a very short
time. The greatest strength OF the opposition
Will be thrown upon the measure at once, in
antagonism to its consideration, and the vote
that is 10 test the strength OF the opposing fac
lions will be the first taken. AZ the matter
now stands neither side has any assurance as
TO what the result is to be.
