seem satisfied that they have nothing to

Speaker Reed Looking For Another
Dressing Down.
WASHINGTON, July S1.-Speaker Reed is
rather expecting a scoring from some other
republican member with public building
bill, who has not received recognition from
him. Here is such a stalwart partisan as
Elijah Adams Morse of Massachusetts talk
ing about his being badly treated" by the
speaker, and about his feeling that he is the
equal of any other member of the
House. What a scene there would
be if Mr.. Morse should get
up and denounce Speaker Reed just be-
cause he could not get recognition for his
Taunton building bill? Speaker Reed would
like to arrange to pass a few of the pending
bills, but has not been able yet to deter
mine how to select enough to bring the ap-
preparations for this year up to $7,000,000,
the annual average out of the $20, 000, 900
worth waiting on the calendar.

TROOPS AT THE POLLS.
HARRISON READY TO ENFORCE
THE LODGE BILL.

He Has Advocated Such a Measure
Ever Since His Nomination-His Per
sonEl Influence Brought to Bear on
Every Senator He Talks With-The
Cog Wheels Ready.
WASHINGTON, July 81. - Ii Senators
Hoar and Spooner fail to carry out Speaker
Reeds programme and put the force bill
through the Senate so that it may get TO
the President before this session ends,
Speaker Reed viii not be more disappointed
than will President Harrison. President
Harrison, like Speaker Reed, regards the
force bill as being equally important, from
party point of view, as the tariff bill and
the silver bill From the days during the
last campaign. when President Harrison
never omitted. in all his little speeches to all
his visiting delegations, some reference to
the necessity for such law, until the pres
ent he has constantly pressed it on the re-
publican leaders.
WORKING ON THE SENATOR'S.
He has spoken to every republican SEN
ator who has called upon him for weeks on
the urgency of this bill. II he has not said
as Senator Hoar is reported by a brother
senator as having said at the last caucus,
that rather than have the force bill fail he
would see every factory in Massachusetts,
burned to ashes, and her citizens living on
Goldfish and potatoes at 80 cents a day, he
has said the same thing in other words, OF
course this advocacy of the measure has
been weakened by the Presidents unpopu-
larity.
READY TO ENFORCE 1T.
One thing which he has done gives Seua-
tor Hoar hope. He has had prepared at the
department OF justice a complete project
for carrying the force bill rapidly into effect
Just as he had the treasury department pre-
pare for the silver bill, aud will be able to
apply it TO the elections next November
event If it is not passed until Oct. /. This is
being used, OF course, as a counter argu-
ment to the claim that the bill will be use
less this year even if passed at this session.
President Harrison proposes to enforce it
fully if it is passed. His project is com
prehensive, and he will not hesitate if neces-
sary to use the bayonets, which will be kept
in the bill in spite Of the Senate.
ELBERToN AGAINST 1T.
ELBERToN, GA, July 31.-The business
men of Elberton and the people of this
county generally are almost unit in their
opposition to the proposition to boycott the
north in the event df the passage of the
force Dill, as advocated by Gov. Gordon in
his letter to the Now York Herald, believ-
ing that the south would be foolish to at
tempt such a thing, and that there are
numbers of men all over the noEth who are
friends to the south aud as much opposed tc
the force bill as we, who will unjustly suffer
if the boycott is adopted.

APALACHICOLA, FLA, July 31.-Prom-
inent democrats of this city are outspoker
In the denunciation of the Con Stitution's
