ple. is making the Democrats
squirm. In the mean time COM
plants against the mail service,
from all sections of the country,
but particularly from the South and
West, are flooding the Congress
ional mail. These complaints are
nearly all from business men and
are bv no means confined to MEM
beers OF any one political party.
On Thursday Senator kenna de-
livered a speech, which he was
pleased to call a reply to the recent
remarks of Senator Sherman on the
Presidents message. 1t was re-
marked that Mr.. Kenna had dis
PLAYED poor judgment in selecting
for his opponant SO able a man as
John Sherman. Still if Mr.. kenna
can stand it the Republicans should
make no objection.
The House Committee on POST
Offices has agreed to report favor
ably a bill that is likely to provoke
the deadly hostility OF the publish
ers of the cheap paper covered nov
els. etc. The bill provides for the
exclusion for the second-class (news-
paper and periodically rates OF pos
tage all publications in the char
acter, of books, complete or VI
series, whether sold by subscription

Senator Cockrell has introduced
a Constitutional amendment, which
provides for the election OF the
President and Vioe-President by

clares that the President shall be
Ineligible for second term.
The Democratic majority OF the
WAYS and Means Committee Of the
House are working just as hard to
get a tariff bill perfected according
to their narrow ideas as though

The fight to do away with secret
executive sessions OF the Senate
goes bravely on, and in the near
future the victory will be won by
the people. The death OF John A.
Logan was a severe loss to'the open
sessions cause, but other and uneX-

front.
A SON OF ex-senator Conkling, OF
New York, has been appointed a
page in the House OF Representa-

After a more careful canvass OF
the Lamar confirmation row, it is
conceded by the shrewdest political
leaders that the opposition to Lamar
was injudicious politics, as the re-
lection OF Lamar would have made
divided South impossible. The
best posted politicians IN the party

Already preparations are being
made, and the doubtful districts
carefully mapped out for the Con-
gressional election this Fall. A
member of the National Republican
Congressional Committee said to-
dav, "We want, and must have a
majority in the next House. We
might have had the present House,
but it was allowed TO remain with
the Democrats simply because a
majority of the leaders of the party
thought that it was good politics to
have it thus. But now we are
unanimous in our determination to
