THE SPEAKERSHIP

The contest for the Speakership of
the next Congress is waxing warmer,
and the result is as much in doubt as
some time ago. Mcmillan has not
withdrawn, as was reported, and seems
to be developing strength. Several of
the less prominent candidates now
promise to have larger following than
was at first anticipated. Crisp, Mills
and Springer seem to DO in the lead
with the chances in favor of Crisp.
Mr.. Springer is the strongest North
ern candidate, and Crisp is likely to re-
ceive majority of the Southern vote,
and towards the end it is probable that
the contest will be narrowed down to
these two

THE GROWING WEST.

The West is beginning to demand and
receive the political recognition its i'm
portance justifies. This section now
bids fair to play more important part
in the approaching Presidential cam
paign than ever before. The Repub
licans have made bid for Western sup
port and Western Doodle by carrying
the next national convention to Mime
apolis.
A large element of the Democratic
party is clamoring for Western man to
head the ticket for '92, and the Repub-
licans will put Western man on their
National ticket. The New York Herald
says the hope of the Democratic party
lies in the nomination of Western
man. Western timber seems to be
abundant either for first or second place,
and it is not unlikely that political
lightning will strike other places be-
sides Minneapolis before the next cleo
ton. The West is likely to get the
benefits of extensive advertising by
this turn Of politics, and it will doubt
less be benefited in this way, if in no

Arbitrators and Umpires Appointed--The
Strike Spreading.

Striko SpFeaUink.
PARIS, Nov. 26.-TSpeciall-A dis
patch from Lens, department of Pas De
Calais, states that in addition TO six ar
bitrators appointed by the mine owners
to meet similar number appointed by
the strikers, they have also appointed
umpires. This fact is regarded as
proof that the mine owners have no ex-
pectation that arbitrators will be able
to arrive at any agreement.
1t is believed in Paris that the action
of manufacturers at Roubaix and
Tourceing, who have sent abroad and
secured supplies of coal, will bear fruit.
This belief has been greatly strength
ened by the receipt of a dispatch from
Lourches, town in the department of
the north, announcing that the miners
Employed in the largo colliery there,
impregnated with the general discon
tent prevailing in northern French coal
fields, went on strike to-day. 1t is be-
lieved that unless coal mine owners in
general make some concessions to their
employees, the strike will assume enor-
nous proportions.
