Speakership Of the next House OF
Representatives Messrs Butter
worth, Mckinley, Burrows, Reed and
company, will however make the tight
interesting as soon as they get here.
1t is generally thought that either
Reed or Mckinley will be Speaker.
Democratic members of Congress
are as a rule extremely reticient as
10 what line OF policy they will adopt
at the coming session of Congress;
they nearly all express desire to
confer with their democratic colleag-
ues before committing themselves.
An exception to this rule is Repre-
sentative Springer, Of Illinois. He
insists that one of the first things
the House will do will be to pass his
Oklahoma bill, and that the next
thing will be to pass bill for the
admittance of at last four Territories
! INTO tue Oniuu as sbaIeS.
The clerks In the Government de-
partments in this city below the
grade of chief are all in an easy state
Of mind just al present. They have
become convinced that Harrison Is a
genuine civil service reformer, and
that there will be no clean sweep
when he comes in. The principal
cause of this being was an article in
our local papers, taken from the edi-
torisl columns of the indianapolis
Journal, paper which is thought to
be HarrIson's home organ, which
warned the republicans not to expec,
a clean sweep There may not be s
clean sweep, but In my opinion al
the close of Harrison's term there
will not be one democrat in office
here for each ten republicans now
drawing Uncle Sans pay. In other
words, don't believe that Harrison
will keep one tenth as many demo
crats n office as Mr.. Cleveland has
kept republicans.
Harrison's Southern policy contin
ues to be subject ofgeueral discus
sion here. The opinion is almost
unanimous among the members oil
both parties, that Harrison's admin
istration will be very conservative
one unless something now entirely
unexpected should occur. | DOM
think the South has any thing te
fear at the hands of Harrison. Ii
many things that now have some
what troublesome look are let severe
ly alone, they will adjust themselves
chief among this class of things is
the negro question. | am certain
from information derived from re
publican sources, that Harrison will
appoint no negro to any prominent
federal office in the South. In fact
there is an undoubted disposition
among republicans to relegate the ne
gro to back seats in future. He Is
no longer OF any practical use to thai
party, therefore they will give him
nothing.
There is growing belief that Har
rison will call an extra session o
Congress soon after his Inauguration

this week which we publish on our
second page, and to which we invite
the attention of all our readers. Mr..

prove of inestimable value to some

surely hesitate now, and profit by the

Apropos of article in the town
warrant, while we would like to see a
fountain in the cemetery, would it not
be good plan to look after the neces-
sities before investing in ornaments :?
Our taxes are high the town is in debt,
and it seems to us that for the present
u fountain could be dispensed with.
On the other hand there should not be
IL dissenting voice against the purchase
of rollers for winter roads. Experience
has demonstrated their usefulness,
and we believe that they will pay for
themselves in one winter. Our col
umns are open for discussion.
