man, but holding the opinions he
does he should never have accept
ed the office in the first place. The |
removal leaves only one Commits |
Sioner in office, and he is Repuh- |
liean. For that reason il is thought !
that the Senate will probably con |
firm Mr.. Thompson, as the law
provides for % Democrat on the
board, and there is anothcrvacancy
into which Gen. Harrison can put
Il Republican.
Representative Springer thinks
his "Omnibusn bin will vet get
through ia spite of the fact that
the conterees have failed to agree
upon it, He says that three, il
not more, Republican Senators will
vote with the Democratic Sena-
tors to admit Few Mexico. shall
only believe it when they do il.
The report of the Treasury ex
perts on the tariff bill shows that
outside of the internal revenue
features the measure will only
make a reduction OF from three TO
five millions Of dollars. The House
Mays and Means Committee will
report the bill this week, with Il
recommendation thatit bereircted.
just what will follow lift he reject
ed it is difficult to say. The inter
! nal revenue features of the bill are
! satisfactory to quite a number OF
Democratsin the House. andunless
theycan he satistiedthat the Cowles
bill, repeating the tobacco tax, now
in the hands Of Mr. Randall's com.
mittcc, or a similar one will be inn
mediatcly reported to the House, |
shall not be surprised to see the
Senate bill adopted. And ! believe
that its adoption would create fal
more dissatisfaction among Repub
rlicans than Democrats.
Senator Vest is going to have
some fnn with the Republican Sen
atUrs when the Senate conferees ol
the Springer "Omnibus" bill max,
their report to the Senate. Mr.
Vest will prove by the Record that
in 1875, when New Mexico wal
thought to be Republican, tina
many Republicans now in the Sen
ate voted in the House for the ad
! mission of that territory alonJ
! with Colorado. Now he wants L
know why these same men opp0s
the admission of that territory
= The inference is very plain to Sen
at9r Nest andcverybody else. NeY
! f.M2XirO is NOW Democratic. Wha
! care these Republican Senators 70
! consistency when party interest
are at stake.
: Secretary Bayard has once NOR
= become a target for criticism. II
has demanded the resignation of II
I I'll. Sewall, II. S. Consul General {
f Samoa. Mr.. Scwall has recent
j, been il witness before the forcig
I committees of the House and Sci
i ate, and in his testimony rcgardin
G Samoan matters lie took occasio
e to express opinions criticising I'll
z Department of'Statc in somewha
Q severe manner. Whether NJ
j. Bayard has done right or wrong j
G compelling him to resign at tn
# time is u question, but like ii
$ rest Of us, Mr.. Bayard il humai
Q and has punished his subordinai
s. officer for indiscretion. Anybed
e else might have done the san
lf thing under the same circumstal

!. So after the fourth Of March NJ
( Cleveland sill resume the practiI
y OF law, in New York city. It

u step t. his being sent totie Sena
:. as successor to Senator Eyar
y whose term will expire in lSJ
$ This is very probable if the Dei
Is ocrats can succeed in capturing IL
Legislature Of New York as the
le expect to do. At any rate it
It safe to say that a man Of Grov
p CleyelanHs experience, pluck an
