that had not been rendered him. For
years have tried to be left alone here
with my wife, In this den, speaking of
the library and these friends OF mine
on those shelves, but somehow they
won't permit me to live in peace"
If the nomination is given you, even
against your protests, would not you
feel 1t your duty to accept? II have tho
highest regard for President Cleveland,
and sincerely hope he will be re-
elected. If l thought that my name
would add any strength to the
ticket am willing to make q
personal sacrifice, for the interest Of the
party. certainly should feel very bad,
should the ticket be defeated, TO think
that had declined, II my name would
have strengthened II. or course II Is only
upon condition that the nomination
comes without any struggle that 1 can

Editor LIGHT:
There is prospect of another dead
lock In the house at an early date unless
the democrats join the republicans in
passing the bill removing the Limitation
from the arrearage Of pensions act, and
II they join In passing that measure,
thereby remove all necessity for .
tariff bill. for there will then be no sur
plus TO reduce, and that of course is the
only possible excuseifor such bill as
the Mills tariff bill. Already the COM
mittee on rules have been requested to
report resolution design ating time to
consider the arrears Of pensions bill,
AMI they are In quandary as to what
to do In the matter. On Saturday the
republican members of the house 10 eau
Gus assembled, unanimously passed q
resolution declaring 1t to be the sense of
the republicans Of the house that the
committee on rules be instructed to re-
port resolution assigning days for the
consideration Of all general pension
bills, and that the order be made con-
tinuing order until all this class Of bust.
mesa lie disposed Of. If the committee
on rules, a majority Of which are demo.
Gratis, refuse to report this resolution,
there are large number Of republicans
who have expressed their intention Of
fillibustering against the Mills tariff bill.
That's the way the thing stands at this
writing.

fore the house printing committee.

cational bill, but as the democrats Of the
house committee on education, in whose
hands 1t has been for months. refuse to
meet and consider 1t, don't see how 1t
oan get before the house.
The democratic senators are solidly
against discussing the fisheries treaty In
open session, but 1t will be done never
theless, and afterwards 1t will be duly
rejected.
The president has approved the act
