Representative Fitch, of New York
city, is tho first and so far tho only
Republican member Of the House who
hos publicly announced his intontion
of supporting tho Mills tariff bill. He
made speech in favor OF revenue re-
form on Wednesday.
Which party will control tho Sen
ate after the 4th Of next March is a
question often asked these days. On
the Ord of March tho terms OF 26 Sen
ators will expire, this number being
equally divided between tho parties.
One of the republicans--Riddleber
ger, of Virginia-has had democrat
| ic SUCCESSOR elected, and tho rest are
pretty sure to be succeeded by re-
publicans, with { he possible exception
of Oregon. The democrats may 30
cure Senator from that state, but it
| is doubtful. Among the thirteen
democratic Senators retiring, thore is
only one who Is not certain Of being
succeeded by q democrat. That is
Mr.. Mcpherson, of New Jersey.
Should the democrats retain New
Jersey and capture Oregon it would
make the Senate stand SO democrats
to 81 rep ublicans, justroversing what
| it is now. But the chances are that
Oregon will return a republican ond
New Jersey democrat, which will
make the Senate lie, giving tho oon
troll, through the vice-presidenS, to
whichever party carries the presiden-
tial election.
Representative Matson, chairman
Of the House committee on invalid
pensions and the democratic nominee
for governor Of Indiana, has reported
favorably bill extending the time OF
the arrearage Of pensions so as to
give the benefit OF the oct to all claim
ants who filed their claims after the
expiration of time limit, or may yet
file clailus before the passage OF this
bill. Tho report accompanying the
bill etatos that if passed it will cost
tho government not more than $780,
900, 900, and suggests to tho House
that this is "the very best method OF
disbursing tho surplus in the treas
urv."

letter of Hon. L. w. Moore.

The following is thereby OF Judge
Moore, NJ. @. from this district, to
certain resolutions sent him by the
Hays county Farmers Alliance. IT
is addressed to VIM. Garnott, secre.
tary.
MY Dear Sir:-Yours of the End
inst. enclosing me the resolutions OF
the Hays county Farmers Alliance
lust received. Iregret I did not re-
ceiye your former communication en-
closing the same resolutions. There
| is man in this city of my name and
much of his mail comes to me and 60
mine to him which doubtless caused
tho miscarriage of your letter. This
has happened on several occasions. 1
can conceive of no political issue that
could separate the great body of the
farmers from my views. 1t promises
good to our common country to OBJ
serve the great interest the farmers
are now exhibiting in public affairs,
and if great evils havc fallen upon us
through their apathy in public affairs,
constituting as they do the great body
our citizens in the South and West,
then it has been a great public mis-
fortune. Our banking system, our
currency and our revenue tariff sys-
tenn are the creation of great civil
war. fortunately this war has passed
away. We ehnve profound peace. Our
Union of states exists in their equal
rights. But this pernicious system
still survives, threatening all our
peaceful pursuits and industries. Our
currency and banking system are
based upon the fruits or rather debts
of the war. AS this debt is being
paid off tho banking capital are using
eli questionable means to perpotuate
their power and increase their profts.
They struck down our silver, they
domand gold only for their interest
and bonds. They aid to prevent a
reform Of our tariff, taking from our
working people their earnings that o
great surplus might exist in our pub
lie treasury and repositories, 10 be
spent in the most wasteful and ex-
travagant Legislation, and the amount
grows larger and larger from year to
year. To my mind it is frigbtful, and
Ii am not astonished to see commerce
llanguishiDg until it is driven from
our seas, Manufactures much OF the
time idle, our coal, iron and mining
lipterests disturbed between lockouts
and strikes. Laborers in these pro-
tected industries are much Of the
tine unemployed.

The Capitol Dedication.

Never before was the Texas State
Capital so crowded with Texas oit-
zens and strangers from othor States,
never before were her public and pri-
vate buildings 30 grandly and gor-
geously decorated as on last Wednes-
day, whom fully $4,000 people from
all parts Of Texas and the Union
wore gathered within her limits to
witness the dedication Of the new
capitol. The weather was beautiful.
The military procession which formed
at Camp Ross, about n milo from tho
city, was o mile in length, and inclu-
ded tho Third Cavalry and Sixteenth
Infantry, U. 8. A., and thirty compa-
nies Of State troops. The United
States infantry, cavalry and artillery
wero under the command OF Gen. d.
s. Stanley, commander Of the depart
ment Of Texas. The Walsh Zouaves,
of st. Louis, and the Washington Ar
tillery, of Louisiana, were also in line.
The Mexican band proceeded Gov.
Ross and the State troops. Arrived
at the capitol, Judge Terrell, Of Aus
tin, made the opening addross. Col
Abner Taylor, Of Chicago, the con-
tractor, in q short speech presented
tho building to the people OF Texas.
State Senator Temple Houston, SON
of Con. Sam Houston, then delivered
the dedication oration formally 40
oepting the building in the name and
on behalf Of the people Of Texas.
The dedication ceremony according
to tho Masonic ritual was then car
ried out. The building Is vast
structure, built of red granite, with q
front of 562 feet and q depth OF 287
feet, built in plain Dorio style. II
covers two and quarter acres OF
ground, and consists OF three stories
