 WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 1889.
 Mir. Harrison has, this week demon
 stratsd to a greater extent than ever be
 fore the wisdom of the republican party
 in electing him president. He stood be
 tween the people and hundred fnan
 cial schemes which promised on tbsil
 faces relief to the stringent money mar
 ket, and which each had ardent
 and earnest advocates in house or sen
 ate, the enactment into law of any one of which would, in the opinion of mer who have made Lifetime study ol finance and commerce, have been fol lowed in the future by such a financial
 storm as this country has never seen
 Ar. Harrison before making up hi.
 mind upon this important subject, had taken the advice of every accessible prominent republican, .n and out oi Congress, whom he believed capable of advising him, and when he once came to 8 conclusion as to how far it would be known among republicans that he would not sign any bill which goes be- yond what he considers the safety financial line. And there he stood, and for that,matter still stands IS ln nmovabls as the rock bound fortress of Gibraltar.
 His action has greatly displeased some of the financial extremists in the republican party; also the nillionaires who were preparing to speculate on the financial necessities of the country; but IL pleases the conservative men, who compose nine -tenths of the republican party.
 The new silver bill approved by the republican caucus and which IS to be adopted next week, even if the senate has to sit Christmas, meets the approval of the president, and will add a large amount to our present circulating medium.
 It is not yet settled how much Christ mas recess Congress will take. Repre- sentative Mills has offered concurrent resolution providing for adjournment from December 2 to January }, and the resolution has by vote of the house, been referred to the committee on ways and means. 1t is certain that the rssolu ton when reported back to the house will provide for a much shorter recess 4 large number of republicans are in favor of making 1t only from Christmas. eve to the following Monday, but it will depend largely upon circumstances. If a vete on the election bill can be reach ed before Christmas the republican sen ators will favor longer recess than they otherwise will.
 In spite of the fact that leading dem ocrats openly stated on the floor of the house that the apportionment will be fair measure and announced their intention to vote for it, that party wasted a whole day in efforts to obstruct the passage of the bill, which they knew was inevitable, even had their party voted solidly against it. The truth of the matter was, they had hoWled from every stump in the land about the partisan apportionmeGt which the re- Sulclicans intended making, and al- tbfeSgh compelled to acknowledge that = i5iM was entirely free from partisan .h .L thss felt that in order to prevent Ip >SStitQents asking diSagrseable
