and presents good appearance. About
twept. men are employed at present, and 1t is

for copper tacks and nails will be idle as they
are being put in tirst.class order. The engine

The answers Of all these questions were

the manufacturer stated that without pro.

THE proposition Of the Senate committee
on rules to refuse consideration Of any ap-
preparation bill until at least five days after
Its receipt from the House Is hint to the
Democratic obstructionlsts that they can
not use that class of legislation as a means
Of coercion. The Senate proposes to have
time for deliJeration, and it is well that
hody should assert its rights. 1t is an-
bounced that Mr.. Randall's committee will
rot present the general appropriation bills

LITTLE Boss MILLS and his rump COM
mittee have had many things to wrestle
with, chief among which is ignorance of the
subject on which they are expected to legis.

is as to whether they will treat the whole
revenue subject in one bill or will conhne
their ponderous intellects to the one OBJ
iect OF smashing the tariff on the line
marked out by the President. They are
still wrestling with this great problem, and

TO SPITE RANDALL.
Speaker Carlisle Made Mills Chairman

1t has been mystery to the public why
Roger @. Mills, OF Texas, was made chairman
OF the House Committee Of Ways and Means.
1t has at last leaked out that Carlisle ap-
pointed him to spite Randall and his followers
in the House. A prominent Randall Demo-
cratic member said the other day in eonversa-

Mils's appointment, hold on said the
Congressman to his excited friend, when !

his friends became more enthused at the
thought Of beating Randall raao ana his friends

anticipated. Now you see that we have Mills
at the head OF the ways and means committee
trying TO constitute himself as leader on the
Democratic side of the House. By the time
the fitieth Congress closes there will be
nothing left OF the Carl 'sle:Mills free trade
dynasty. We intend tolet them go ahead and
see what they will do. We expect that they
will, in their madness, smash out their own
political brains, and thus relieve us of that
