TIE Tariff Bill 10 Pass Without Dp,av-
A Disguised Lot Of Drmocrats-A
Court Of Appeal That will Reduce
the SAprrme Quart bucket.

| AoN, OepV. 70, 1891 -
The Mckinley tariff bill has been re-.
ported from conference. OF course
At does n"tplrase all Of the R-publ,>
cans. That would be too much Co
expect of the work Of mere mortnl>:
but it comes rs near SATISFYING them
all as any bill Of thu kind could pcssi
oily 40, and there is net the slip htps,
DOUBT but 1t will receive the supper.
OF every Republican in both House
and Senate. No delay is expected in
the disposal of the bill, though there
are rumors OF intended flibusts rine
in the Senate in order to keep Con.
gress in session until |, is TOO late for
the President to call an extra session
and give the requisite notice of thirty
days. Owing to the failure of the
Senate to change the rules governing
tina, Body the Democrats would not
experience any great difficulty in
carrying out this programme should
they he so disposed, but my impress.
sion is that they will not dare to triAe
with the enormous business interests
involved in the tariff bill. Business
men are ANXIOUS to see the measure
finally disposed Of, and the R-publi-
cans are just as anxious to do so, and
| il the Democrats attempt to throw
obstacles in the way they will do SO at
their peril. Z.
A more surprised and Disguised lot
of men than the Democrats of the
House, congregated at their head
quarters in room over a bar.room,
not far from the Capitol were, when
informed that there was a quorum Of
Republicans on the floor of the House,
it would have been hard to find. They
soon began to sneak into their seats
in the House, every man OF them
showing that he felt himself beaten
notwithstanding their cowsrdly cam
paign of >uIking. The most of them
got INTO the House in time to hear The
Republican cheers which greeted the
announcement of the vote seating the
two Republican contestants whose
cases they had SO bitterly fought by
staying QUO of their seats for two
weeks. So chargined we're they that
an attempt was made to have Demo
cratic caucus, held Immediately after
wards, agree to the withdrawal OF the
Democrats in body for the rest of
the session; but soundrr counsel lr.
vailed and they escaped making such
foolish blupher. For some un-
accountable reason the Democrats had
got it into their h-ads that the Re-
publicans could not get a quorum OF
their own members here again during
this session.
The bill for the adjustment of the
claims of workmrn under the eight
hour law, which has already passed
the House, woul have gone through
the Senate this week, if Senator Har-
ri, had not otje, te': to its considera-
ton.
The Senat. has passed the House
bill to d. fin- aud regulate thu jur'>.
