Gratis well in hand, and what they
propose doing or how they will vote
upon the Quay resolution, should it
ever reach a vote, is known only to
themselves. They have been too
well aware of the political advantages
which the discussion of the tariff
bill has given them to fall into a trap
set by Nj. Quay and promise to wind
up that debate on the 30th inst,
when three-fourths of the bill has
not vet been touched. That would
be to great a price to pay for moth
ing, and hal is all that Mr.. Quay
has to offer. The adoption of his
resolution would kill the Force bill
for the present session officially; but
it has been unoficially dead for all
time ever since the Republican eau
Gus refused to adopt the gag law
necessary for it's passage.
The most radical members of the
Republican party in the House have
entered into all agreement to prevent
the consideration of the Senate
amendments to the tariff bill until
the Senate passes he election bill.
It would not be very surprising if
Senate should conclude abandon
the tariff bill entirely party
measure and let It g. over until next
winter
The investigation by a special
House committee of Mr.. Cooper's
charges against the Commissioner of
Pensions was begun to-day, and Mr..
Cooper proposes 10 see that all the
damaging facts are brought out, so
that the coat of white wash which
the majority of the committee has
already prepared to apply shall not
prevent the public from seeing mat
ters as they actually are. Good for
Mr.. Cooper.
Mr.. Reed continues to ignore the
committee on labor, which wants very
much to have several bills, which it
has reported, acted upon, One Of
these days the laborers will get an
opportunity to ignore the Speaker,
and they'll do it.
Senator Carlisle characterizes the
arrangement of the wire schedule of
the tariff bill as being an insidious
and indirect way of increasing du-
ties. Senator Mcpherson, ironically,
says that the Finance committee
should not be held responsible for a
bill which has been made up by the
benefciaries themselves and only
handed to the committee for the pur-
pose of having it explained to the
country and defended in the Senate.
The House has passed the bill to
inspect fresh meats intended for i'm
portation; also bill extending aid to
agricultural colleges. The compound
lard bill is to be voted on Saturday
and that prohibiting dealing in
options and futures next Wednes-
The bill exempting mining lands
from the provisions of alien land
law has been by vote of the House
laid Ga the table.
The River and Harbor bill has
goneAp a conference committee.

A Correction.

Editor of the Charleston World:
In the report of the meeting Of
1.-The central Democratic working club
of Richland county" the News and
Courier makes me say that the OF
ga2ization would not work under the
Irby committee, believing that that
the Hoyt committee would remain in
Office until Sept. 10
I stated hat the delegates to the
September convention would be voted
for in the regular Democratic clubs
under the call of the committee of
Chairman Hoyt. l do not believe
this to be intentional on the part Of
the News and Courier, but a miscon-
struction of the language used byme.

SoME of the Ring rulers seem to
think they have a divine right to rule
this State and that we have no other
alternative than to do as they say.
Their policy is to rule or ruin. Well,
we guess the majority Of the people
will see about this and decide upon
it a iStle later; so, gentlemen, you
might just as well oil yourselves a
small bit and perhaps you will see
which way the cat swings it's tail.

For It's past the power OF mortal man"
And yet they did not despair Mems
wits were set to work, and Il triumph of
ingenuity was produced-tho Drank, the
scold's or gossip's bride, which had tho
immenso advantage over the cuclSing or
ducking stools of compelling tho vic

is unknown; but he probably hailed

The passage yesterday of the Columbus
Memorial Park bill in the House 10 matter for
deepest congratulation. The measure was
amended IN some respects and will, therefore,
require further action in the Senate But it is
hoped that there will be no difficulty in the
settlemen: Of the differences between the two
chambers. The citizens OF the Dissrlc. have a
right to feel high degree OF satisfaction over
the good prospect for soon having q magnif-
cent park named in honor OF the Discoverer of
America. II will add greatly to the attractive
ness Of the national capital to visitors as well
as to the comfort and health OF its residents.
Not only will Washington and the District of
Columbia get what they have long desired and
mcclellan attractive park, but Rock Greek,
one Of tie most picturesque small streams in
this region, will be delivered from the danger
Of becoming a common sewer for the city and
Il source Of pollution and contamination to the
section OF the District which It traverses. It IL
earnestly hoped that the bill may soon become
a law.
