Senator Allison may be seen at the
Capitol since the recess getting the tariff
bill in good shape for it's final passage
by the Senate.
Some amusement has been created a.
mong those who are conyersant with
the undercurrent Of Congressional ac-
ton at the easy manner in which the
Democratic Senators tumble into the
open trap which had been set for them
by the Republicans. OF late the fact
has been patent that unless the consid-
GRAFTON of the State tariff bill could in
some manner be hurried up its passage
would be somewhat doubtful, owing to
lack of time. Observing this state Of
affairs the Republican Senators thought
that the Christmas recess might be dis
pensed with and evening sessions of the
Senate held in order to get through the
tariff bill sometime in January. This
was by no means pleasant arrange
ment for those Senators who expected
to eatftheir Christmas turkey at home.
How to get. the recess and at the same
time make sure of the tariff bill was the
question. It was easily settled and the
trap set by holding caucus of Republi-
can Senators and deciding against
Christmas recess. In an hour every
Democratic Senator had heard of the ac-
ton Of the caucus, and was in state of
Indignation thereat. The House had
passed without division joint resolu-
ton for a recess from Friday 21st. inst.
to Monday, January 7th., and the Re-
publican Senators had actually decided
not to allow the Senate to take any re-
cess at all! Shameful! The Democratic
Senators called a caucus to consider the
matter, and appointed a committee to
wait on the Republicans and attempt to
bring about some sort of compromise
that would give the recess This was
exactly what the Republicans wanted,
and what they had confidently expected
The committee was informed that the
only reason the Republicans opposed
the recess was because, owing to the
needless amendments offered by Demo-
Gratis, the time seemed to be necessary
for the consideration Of the tariff bill
The committee was also informed that
if ehe Democrats would agree to take
the final vote upon the tariff bill early
lin January the Republicans would
agree to vote for the Holiday recess.
The committee, after eonferring with
the Democratic Senator'S. and after OBJ
jecting to every date mentioned. finally
agreed to allow the final vote to be TAX
en- on the tariff bill January 21st.,
while the Republicans agreed to vote
for recess from last Friday to Wednes-
day, January End. Thus every body
was made happy and the Republicans
lvent home feeling particularly goodeo
think their tariff bill would get through
all right next month, sometime earlier
than the most sanguine had hoped.
This early passage of the bill will upset
the calculations of the Demo cratic lead
lers of the House, who had based their
arrangements on the idea that the bill
wonld not get through the Senate until
$50 late in the session, that they could
pigeon-hole ton the ground Of lack. OF
time for its proper consideration.
