Mr.. Randall's bill which, it is thought,
will contain in its elements that the
Mills bill lacks. The almost entire
abolition of the internal revenue system
is believed to be enc of the principal
features of the Randall measure, and
if that part of it meets with the appro-
baton of the representatives of the
whisky and tobacco States it will proba-
bly, be the more popular bill of the two.
Mr.. Mills does not claim for his bill
that it is as complete as it ought to be,
but he does say that it is good Demo-
cratic step towards the realization of
Democratic hopes.
The joint Republican caucus which
was held here the other day, developed
the fact that a ma ority of the Reputli-
can Senators and REPRESENTATIVE will
support John Sherman for their Presi-
dental nomination at Chicago. Sena-
tor Allison is second choice, with CuI-
lom, OF Illinois, third. Cameron, Ores
ham, Hawley and ex-senator Harrison
each had small following. Sherman's
friends are b0astiDg that he will go to
the convention with alsaost e solid del
egation from the South. HIS boom is
being worked in that section by Billy
Malone, of Virginia, and Sergeant.at at

claims that he will be backed By his
own State delegation and that of the
Pacific Coast; he depends upon the in
ter-state commerce bill to give him
strength in various other quarters. All
lisou's hackers are confident that be
will have over $50 votes in the conven-
ton to start with. The Sherman maa-
ayers are schemlng to make Malone
member of the Executive Committee of
! the National Republican Committee,
their idea being to pace the entire
management of the campaign in his
able hands.
The first batch of q new class of petit
lions has arrived. and several of them
have been introduced in the Senate.
They are from New Jersey, but letter
accompanying them, says that others
from different parts of the country are
Oh their way, and like many, in fact the
majority Of petitions which are intro
duced in the House and Senate, they
propose an amendment to the Constitu-
ton. The body of the petition cites
that the accumulation of individual
wealth is the ca3se of about all the
trouble in the country, aud that the
ownership of large fortunes breeds dis
content and luminosity in the breasts of
those who have no material accumulS-
ton to speak OF. It is, therefore, prayed
! that the Constitution be so amended as
| to prohibit any one leaving more than
the sum of $4,000 to a Iegatee. The
petition is fair sample OF what many
| people think Congress is here for.
1t may be remembered that President
Cleveland in appointing the principal
/ Federal officers for Colorado, selected
several or them from VirgiCia. This
caused great groWl. from the Republi.
cans OF that State on general principles !;
and also some grumbling from the Col :.
or2do Democrats who talked about
Home Rule" The Virginia gentle
men had a hard time of It when they
first went out there. They found the
social atmosphere somewhat chilly, aud
had the uncomfortable feeling that they
we're considered as inrerlopers. One Of
them, Marshal Hill, is now here seeing
about the settlement of his accounts
He says that Colorado has become
reconcDed to the VirginIans, and that
all goes we'll. In conversation to-day,
he said: 1T was hard living for some
time, but as Shakespeare says, Time
evens.up all things The hostility to
the Nirginians has worn off. and we are
now thoroughly en- rapport with the
people. There was one man, leading
Republican, who was especially hostile
to me. he gave me great deal of
trouble, but l won hum over, and he is
now the best friend have in the State.
Yes, l won him completely over"
How did you do it?" l was asked.
81 married his daughter" was the
sententious reply.
No lady in Washington society takes
advantage or Lent moro thoroughly
thsn does Mrs. Cleveland. Every day,
rain or shine, she leaves the White
House by the main entrance, and &C.
companied by her big dog, KAY"
takes long walks through the western
and extreme northwestern part of the
city. Three times within the past week
has "the first lady of the land" been
seen IS far away from home as the Ma
val Observatory grounds, and once she
spent the afternoon in that beautiful
CITY of the dead known as "Oak Hill. :"
She frequently has another lady with
her, and this generally is Mrs. Lamont,
who, under Mrs. Cleveland's tuition, is
rapidly becoming en- enthusiastic pedes-
! TRAN. Through that portion of the
| city which lies between the State Navy
and War Department and the Potomac
the fair mistress Of the White House is
know to almost every Child that trots
along the streets. She is as much of
faVorte with the little ones and their
mothers as her dog is terror" al
though that canine IS a gentle as
lamb. Very few people know how
much of menagerie Mrs. Cleveland
has undar her immediate control. She
loves birds and animals of almost any
kind. and every morning spends an
hour or SO with her pets. The latest
ARRIVAL is fawn which was presented
to her while on the Florida trip. 1t has
bean added to the nappy family, and
now sports around with a blue ribbon
around its neck with little gilt bell at
tached to it. The big Bernard dog is
the greatest pet OF all. having COM
pletely usurped the position once held
by Hector" the black French poodle.
Then there are five canaries (three of
whom are allowed to fly around the
room generally occupied bv them) four
cats, fourteen white mice, two peacocks,
three guinea pigs. two alllgators, eight
blooded chickens. and the Jersey heifer,
Oracle which was presented by
George W. Childs.
