LIVELY TATs ~ THE HOUSE.
~ the Senate should manifest any real
determination % pass the force hill. or If
eventually 10 should actually be passed IN
theupper branch Of Congress. then there
viii be lively times from that moment on
100 the House until the end Of the session.
The Democrat, of the House have OBJ
-fuctcd very little this session, and If the
Republicans VIII attend go business and
u.t press political legislation they can pro-
coed smoothly.
Tine Republicans are much inccnsed
against the Farmers Alliance Convention
because that body would not rcscind the
action deuounciug the force bill.
