and one Of the first things to be done in
the House after efecting organization
will he to adopt rules, and right then the
political lighting is likely to begin. 1t is
understood that an effort will be made to
get up set Of joint rules which shall gov
ern both House and Senate. In the past
both Houses have always had their own
separate rules.
Judge Croft, the new commissioner of
the general land office, has taken off his
coat and buckled down to work, He has
made very favorable impression here.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has fur
nished the President a schedule, showing
in detail the present status Of every Presi-
Dental post-otiice where no change has
been made by the present administration.
Congressman and others hunting for this
species of scalps may prepare themselves
accordingly
Most people here seem to think that the
Tanner Dalzell correspondence will result
in barring both of those gentlemen out Of
the official pasture.
Secretary Blaine has arrived here to take
part in receiving the members Of the Three
Americas Congress, which is to assemble

of the Congress will Immediately after or
ganization take recess until November
l5, for the purpose of visiting our princi-
pal cities.
Itmakes one think Of Inauguration times
to see the preparations being made here
for the Knight Templar conclave which as
sembles here next week for ten days
stay. Well take good care of the 200, ,OOt
people expected just as we will of the
great crowd that will attend the American
Exposition Of 1892.
The Vice President is in Washington
experimenting the completion of his new
residence, and of the mammoth build
ing to be known as the Morton fats. He
expects to occupy the residence by the first
of November.
Who shall be Pension Commissioner, is
still an open question, though the appoint
ment is looked for every hour. Mr.. A. B
Campbell, of Kansas, is the present favor
ite, but the friends of ex-Representativt
Brown, of Ohio and the other candidates
have by no means given up the fight.
