Mr.. sherman's Sentiments.

Senator Shermans proposition is the
natural outgrowth Of his well known
sentiments and Judgment as repeatedly
expressed. and which had previously
taken form in "A resolution introduced
by him in the senate. As long ago as
Aug. I. 1888, Mr.. Sherman stated in a
carefully prepared srcech in opposition
to the fisheries treaty sent in by Pre-i.
dent Cleveland, that he was willing and
anxious to accomplish and bring about
Il policy that will make mole intimate
the relations between the Dominion Of
Canada and the United States, and that
anything whatever that would tend to
promote free commercial intercourse be-
tween these countries anything that
will tend to produce a union Of Canada
with the United States of America,
would meet his most hearty support.
He said; u want Canada to lie part of
the United States, and with a good
deal Of emphasis he predicted that with
in ten years from that time, in his
Judgment, the Dominion of Canada
would be represented either in the inn
pcrial parliament Of Great Britain or i'll
the congress of the United States He
hoped that that representation would
be in the congress Of the United
States.
About six weeks later he introduced
in the senate a resolution instrncting
the committee on foreign relations to
inquire into and report the state of
the relations Of the United States with
Great Britain and the Dominion Of Can
ada with such measures as are ex-
padlant to promote friendly commercial
and political intercourse between these
countries and the United States.
In Il lengthy speech upon this resolu-
don taking exception to the recommen-
Cation of President Cleveland for the
adoption Of Il policy of retaliation
against Canada. MIR. Sherman said ihar
the way to union with Canada is not
by hostile legislation, not by acts Of r.
,aliation, but by friendly oyertures.
This union is one of the events that
must inevitably come in the future. It
will come by the logic of the situation.

Quite a number of winter visitors have
arrived already. They come mostly from
the west. This is rather earlier than usual
for them TO come, and il the arrivals con-
tinue the city will be full by Jan. l. The
Alabama Midland connection will be very
great advantage to Thomasville, as 1t makes
this city more accessible TO large aud pop

come in and the list Of names is changed.
The roll of the House as il Is
at present called has become SO
familiar 10 those who sit day
after day and hear 1t called over
and over again that many of them can re-
peat It from memory. know young page
who can do this, although he does not know
the names of all the members but has
learned them only as the clerks call them.
II is the custom for the clerk calling the
roll to prefix the word "Mister" TO each
name, but before he has gone far he begins
TO retrench his expense of vocal
powers. This leads to some strange
combinations of sound. In the
beginning he calls "Mr. Albeit"
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Alderson," and "a few
more distinctly enough, but by the time he
title and calls mister Cannon" Mister
Carter" and so on. When he has gone a
little farther he drops off some more and IL
becomes lister Fitch" ester Flower
" 'ster Gear" etc. This holds out pretty
well into the Hs. but az last the two words
become one and Mr.. Hopkins" and "Mr.
Houk" sound like "Stropkins" and
"Strouk." Down in the Ms it undergoes
another change. The sound of ar"
is lost, and "Mr. Mason" "Mr. Nc
Adoo" and "Mr. Morrow" become
"Stumason, "Stumacadoo" and "Stumor-
row." This goes on through the O's and
the P's. "Mr. Oates" being "Stoates" and
Mr.. Peel' coming out "StupheeI," In the
RS it shifts litte, aud "Mr Ray" becomes
STRAY" while "Mr. Rife" is "Strife."
From this on. more attention is paid to eu-
phony than to anything else The clerks
who call the roll have unconsciously adopted
sounds for some of the names which do not
occur in men at all AS some OF them are
called they resemble Comanche whoops quite
as much as they do the members names.

WEEK.

the Tariff Conference Report-Car-
Isle Win Speak on the Brl-The De-
ficiency Bill Still Undisposed OF.
Only Minor Measures to be Acted
on by the House
WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-When the SEN
ate meets tomorrow morning the report of
the conference committee on the tariff bill
Will be ready for presentation, and will
probably be taken up at once for consider
alton. How much time will be consumed
in discussion cannot be- accurately stated,
for the rules of the Senate do
not permit limitation Of debate except
by unanimous consent, but leaders
of both sides were confident Saturday that
a vote could be reached by Tuesday at
farthest. If that proves to be the case final
adjournment will follow the next day.
Whatever the result, adjournment will
come the day after the report is disposed
of.
CARLISLE TO SPEAK.
So far as known, Senators Carlisle and
McPherson (if he be well enough to talk
are .he only senators on the democratic side
of the chamber who will make speeches on
the report. On the republican side Senator
Aldrich, who will submit the report, will prob
ably answer them Senator Ingalls, had not
decided tonight whether or not to make a
speech. Some discussion of the report by
republican senators who are not satisfied
with its recommendations is anticipated.
but how wide the range it will take, or how
extended, cannot be foretold
In addition to the tariff bill there is only
one other measure-the general deficiency

of the Senate prior to adjournment; that
is now pending in the House. and will he

IN the House.

With the single exception of the adoption
of the conference report on the general de-
fciency appropriation bill. the House has
completed its labors for the session, and
waits upon the pleasure of the Senate as to
the date of final adjournment. During the
time between tomorrow morning and that
date business transacted will doubtless be
largely made up of measures taken irregu-
larly from the calendar, to which there Is
no pronounced opposition.
IL may be that an effort will be
made to pass the two shipping
bills sent over by the Senate,
but this will be strongly resisted by the
democrats, and unless a special effort is
made for their consideration the effect Is
likely to fail. Moreover, as there is little
prospect of the maintenance of a quorum,
nothing can be done without unanimous
consent.
The session list of Senate bills enacted
into laws will be considerably increased, as
the House will have an opportunity to dis
pose Of number of others now on the cal
endar. while awaiting the Senate's passage
of the tariff bill.
