THE TWO HOUSES DIvERGIHG.
WASHINGTON, July H. Mr.. Willis Of
Kentucky has been observing for years
past a tendency on the part OF the two
houses to diverge. lie said to-day:
"Why, nothing can be palmer than the
lack OF cordially, one might almost say
even OF respect, which exists between
members OF the two houses. When
came here In 1876 nothing was more COM
mon than to see twenty or thirty-tive sem
ators on the floor Of the house engaged
either In business or social conversation
with members OF that body, and similar
visits OF members of tina house to the 9th
or end OF the capitol were ust as FREE
quent. Ever since then such Intercourse
has been growing less and less each year,
and now a member OF the senate on the
floor OF the house or a member Of the
house on the floor of the senate Is almost
as rare as black swan. The senate used
to make rather free OF Its contingent fund.
IL had coolers OF lemonade and tubs OF
appOllinaris water always on hand during
warm weather. Well, we on this side
were more economical. We did not have
coolers OF lemonade or
TUBS oT APPoLLfNARIs,
and we acquired habit of dropping over
TO the yenate and partaklng of what was
there We were rather regular In that habit.
Finally the senate sat down on us, and
that made some OF us mad, but, Of course,
that was little thing. Another little,
but yet larger, cause OF GOODNESS between
the members OF the two bodies was the
refusal Of the senate to admit eX-members
of the house - It's floor. As | said, those
are small things In themselves, but they
showed growing exclusiveness on the
part OF the senate which was very lrritat-
inS TO the house, which Is certainly u
very democratic body. But the main
cause Of the widening Of the breach be-
tween the two houses rests In the fact
that, while the house Is always directly

ate are not chosen by the people, but by
the states. Primarily chosen away from
the people, senators have for years been
voluntarily getting further and fur

have become the representatives OF inter

they have become the representatives of

MATTERS WILL BE PRECIrITATED.
The Eastern senator's see that something
Is In the wind They are becoming the
most earnest advocates of the doctrines
of state rights Take Mr.. Edmunds for
instance. There Is no stronger state
right man in congress than he and the
senators from other small states, and
they are all Eastern, and are as strong In
that belief as he Is, though not as out
spoken. Why Is thisg II is simple
enough. The great states OF the West
and Southwest are beginning to feel
FESTIVE under the yoke by which few
men IN the upper branch Of congress can
thwart their interests and retain that
power which they think rightiully belongs
to them. In the house these small states
cannot cope with the West, but in the
senate they are on an equality, and thai
equality comes from the right OF each
state to have two members In that body
This Is the reason why Mr.. Edmunds anc
others are such strong state-right men
Some OF these days the great states of tn,
