CONGRESS- AND THE WEST.

The editor Of the Salt Lake
Tribune has the following to say
OF this session OF Congress:
eve in the West will be partic-
ularly Interested in the attempts
to legislate on lead and silver, and
as to what direction debate will
take on reciprocity with Mexico.
The proposed modification Of the
wool schedule will also be looked
to with interest. It was most diff
ficult to save the tariff on lead
at the late session. We learn that
the Lead Trust is again marshal
ing its forces and in this session
it will be backed by the recipro-
city. fake and by the fears Of the
timid ones who have just suffered
defeat. We presume there will
also be another struggle to estab-
lish free coinage OF silver. The
price of silver during the coming
forty days will no doubt be a fac
tor in determining whether any
further legislation can be had or
not. We do not look for a very
harmonious Congress. The miner
ity in the lower House will natur-
ally work for such legislation as
will put the majority in a hole,
and oppose everything which
while promising to be an advant-
age to the country, would at the
same time be a direct advantage
to the party in power. There will
be gteat deal OF elimination. 81
told you So" and "Go ahead; this
will be your last chance" will be
heard every day. At the same
time, under the rule the majority
ought to do some good work, and
the danger will be that it will by
radical legislation try to regain
lost ground, and become too rad
ical. 1t ought to be a lively ses-
sion.
