and the remaining Ave to speeches and de-

Under the regular hours OF the session Il

between Mr.. Blaine and the advocates q
the Mckinley bill, said that he knew there
would be . hard fight over the question Of

proposition; but as to President
Harrison joining them, I look on Il in
this way. The proposition 10 . popular
one, and Mr.. Blaine is a strong man, with
an eye to '92. Mr.. Harrison must know
that he could not get u denomination Il he
were violently attacked by Mr.. Blaine and
his friends. I do not think any one can
count ON Mr.. Harrison taking such .
course as would drive Mr.. Blaine out Of
the cabinet. On the other hand, Mr..

would be h private citizen with many
friends to be sure, but still . private citi-

Wonderful Changes.
First Assistant Postmaster. General
Clarkson is at his desk again. In q little
talk he said OF his recent western trip: 1T
is amazing to contemplate the growth Of
population and business in the new states.
Many people are living who remember the
primitive methods of mail transportation
vest OF the Mississippi and across the
plains. The old coach lines and pony ex-
press were regarded us the greatest achieve.
ments Of modern civilization. and BY short
relays they were enabled to make ten miles
an hour. Now that whole region, from
Texas to the state OF Washington, aud
from Missouri to the Pacific ocean, 10
traversed by a network Of railways, and the
mail facilities are now extended over this
entire region. There is Of course incessant
demands for expansion in keeping pace
with the march Of civilization" It IL said
Mr.. Clarkson will hand in his resignation
in about three weeks.
Not Practicable OF Poiitic.
The mails Of Senator Quay are filed
with letters from all parts Of the south
seeking his influence to have the election
bill abandoned. They picture the condi-
ton OF affairs in a very unfavorable light,
and say that o war Of races will be inevita-
BILE. The latest phase of the state Of feel.
ing in the south is indicated in the part in
which the omen are taking in writing to
their friends in the north and to senator's.
Many OF these letters are received by Mr..
Quay. Judging from h general CONVEX
sation OF the senator, who, as the country
knows, believes in practical politics, il is
evident that he does not wholly regard the
election bill either as expedient in legisla.
ton OF practicable in politics. The south
ern problem he apparently regards ss sur.
rounded by too many Complications in
many points to make that section an On.
couraging field for political labor
beyond the maintenance of the party
organization. The plan proposed 10 not
one that he particularly admires. AT the
same time he will defer to the wishes Of
the majority, and whatever bill they dc.
termiue upon will receive his vote whom
ever it reaches that stage.
Voting by Lightning.
The house committee on rules yosterday
gave q hsaring to John A. Enos, ON In
vent,r. who seeks to have an appropriation
of 100000 made to.defray the cost Of in.
stalling his patent electric voting machine
in the house of representatives. He stated
that during this session there have been
800 roll calls. each consuming thirty
minutes time, or an ,ate Of thirty
working days, and he asS ~ the use Of
his machine twenty-five \ ys could have
been saved.
