LANGsToN's INsOLKHCE.
Tho fact OF the matter is that Judge Houk -
friend % Malone, and aside from the cOnN.lyn
iu his mind that LangstOn was not elected "
hos been much incensed at tho insoience OF
Langston and his crowd In their references 70

OF LaugstOn means that he can continue 10 spoaA
contempluously Ct the white Republicans nor
only In the Fourth district, but all over VIZ
Rinla. He has claimed 10 be bigger inhI
Than Boss Malone, aud tho Boss has tIled
20 beat Lansston at every stage OF the game. INC
constant assertion OF Malone hos been " We
must beat that Niger at oil hazards"
IL may be that the report Of tie committee
Will not be sustained on the iioor OF the house
but II will not 90 Tor the friends Of Mr.. Nenapls

Gency. There r. a sim prospect Ynen the po-7eH

the Democrats have a lot of careless members
who cannot be depended upon 70 be present ana
who do not arrange phirn. This Is true OF many
Of no New YORK members Tho Democratic
leaders have complained greatly this session 81
the absent ones, but II looks aS u no reform IN
this particular IL TO bs expected.
CHANCE 10 BEAT LANGsToN.
The followers OF Malone now 10 the city arc
highly inconsed over the conclusion reached 10
day by tho Elections Committee Of the House ~
the case of Langston ~. Nenable, ana Eeneraiy
speaking fhcY wore greatly tuIpflheu NJ tuo

Some % the MehOneiies propose thai me hkht
against LnnRstOn must be Bept up IN the liou-e,
and as Bergen will not sign the report and hOuk
IS lukewarm, the Mah0neites insist that there IS
even yet chance left 70 beat Langstoh.
MR.. ELLIOTT GOES. TOO.
The Committee OF Elections also decided TO-
day TO unsest Mr. Elliott, OF South Carolina, In
favor Of Miller. the negro contestant
The Chalmors- Morgan chse. OF Mississippi, has
been decided in favor Of Mr.. Morgan. This - one
blessing for which the Democrats can be thankful.
The Republicans deserve no credit, however lot
this finding. They arc down on Chalmers ana
don't want him In tho House. They have III
creased their majority about as much as theycare
10 after they got two or three more seats. They
now have eighteen majority, and they want
about twen' y-Gve Ia all, and then they VIII Do
willing 70 stop.
II these two negroes are seated, It Will result
in a demand all through the South where the
negroes constitute n majority Of the Republican
voters for negro candidates for Congress. ms
win have tendency 10 Drive mo more
decent white Republicans out 81 tie party,
aud in the end II VIII DO wy Dal
for the Republican party at large, and tor me
negroes in particular. In the black districts IN
Virginia the negro politicians will have Il con
tempt for the "po' white trash, az they call the
white leaders in the state and they VIII be apt
20 make faces az Boss Malone unless word
fall into line behind the Boss.
SUBSTITUTE FOR TIP TAEIFF BILL.
Sneaker Reed and Representative Mckinley
are said 10 be in n terrible state Of mind because
the Senate Committee on Finance nave deter
mined practically to reoOrt substitute Tor tue
Mckinley tariff bill. II has boon the calcula-
ton OF the Republican leaders IN the House that
the Senate committee would content themselves
with simply amending the measure hut IN the
history OF all tariff legislation since the war II

Reed. II 10 the wish Of one 10 force an early adj
1ournment, and OF the other TO retain for him
self all tho credit and glory Of passing q tarih
bill in this Congress. OF course when tho SUD
sttute IL passed 1t can no longer DO called
the McKihley bill, for the Senate intends 70
tear the measure all u pieces. mere "a mo
tive In this, too In tho first place, tho House
bill is 40 sectional and unfair IN its Leading pro
visions that the wiser Republcan senators EMO"
that the bill If IL should become law In us
prescut shape would bring q most crushing de-
feat 70 the party at the polls in November, and
they want 20 correct rOme OF tho abuses In
the next place there are men among tho ke-
publican senators who do not care TO have man

out Of this business. and they are, therefore,
going 20 riddle his bill 40 that It's own iramers
will not rOcOgnize 10 when II goes BACK 10 me
House. Jealousy a. leading characteristic
among the Ohio Republicans anyway, and the
every Stage Of the battle. Probably no man
knows this be,tor than Dir. Mckinley himself.
CARLISLE AND yRsT.
IL Senator Carlisle Is appointed a member OF
the Senate Committee on Finance 20 succeed the
late Mr. Beck IL viii prevent the promotion Of
Mr. Vest whose friends have been 80 anxious
that re should be advanced TO that position. The
Finance Committee Of tho Senate Ia Identical IN

zee of the House. IL Is one OF the highest bonors
for a member of either branch OF Congress TO
be on the committees named. owing % his IA
tionaI reputation and his leading abili-
~ Ms a low-tarih advocate, tho friends
OF Mr. Carlisle are Insisting that he shall
be placed on the Finance Committee, even

this peculiar case II will have 20 be done. aud
