The Assembling of Congress.

The Assembling of Congress.
The 51st Congress of the United
States assembled in short session
on Monday last From the unofficial
list of members of the SD Con-
gress it is now definitely known
that 222 will be Democrats, 92
Republicans, and II members of
the Farmers Alliance. Of the
latter IL are stated to be Demo-
Gratis and 5 Republicans. Thus it
will be seen the Democrats will
have in the House from 125 to lao
clear majority on all measures. In
the Senate the Republicans will
still have small majority, but it
is almost a foregone conclusion
that it will be rapidly wiped out as
new Senators are sent up from
various States. Among the straight
Democrats in the House are 25
or 80 who represent alliance con-
stituencies, but as the alliance
measures correspond with Demo-
cratic teachings, there will be per-
feet harmony in their workings.
President Harrison sent in his
message on Monday at noon. The
document is very lengthy, occupy
ing six and eight columns of small
print in the city papers. 1t is well
worded, and all ideas are clearly
expressed, but it lacks the bold and
ringing differences that character
lied Mr.. Cleveland's messages, and
falls fat on the popular ear. He
caters to the money power, and, in
spite of the late rebuke from the
people, upholds the tariff, recon-
mends subsidies to money corpor-
atoms, and altogether ignores the
Iaboring and farming classes. He
especiallay urges the passage of the
''force" or election bill, applauds
the arbitrary and revolutionary
rulings of Speaker Read, and alto
gether echoes the policy of his
party.
1t is semi-ofiicially announced
that dillatory tactics will be en-
ployed by the Democrats in the
Senate against the passage of the
Federal election law, while in the
House it has been decided to per-
NIT one or two appropriation bills
to go through without obstruction,
but that all other legislation in the
House will be blocked until the
Senate consents to drop the cleo
ton force bill. The general i'm
preston is that the Senate will be
compelled either to kill the force
bill or call an extra session of Con-
gress in order to pass important
appropriation bills. 1t is also re-
ported that before the force bill is
brought to a vote in the Senate
an attempt will be made to amend
it by Senator Vest by substituting
free silver coinage bill after the
enacting clause. and he believes he
will succeed in killing it in this
way, because there are enough Re-
publican Senators who are opposed
to the force bill and in favor of
free coinage who will vote with the
Democrats for the amendment.
This Is all mere conjecture, how
ever, as it is likely the Republicans
are SO completely under control of
the monopoly bosses that they will
try to pass the bill, even if it be-
comes necessary to change the reg
ular rules to do SO. Altogether it
is evident that the present session
of Congress is to be lively and in
tensely interesting.
