THE FUNERAL. OF THE FORCE BILL.

Now that the Senate has put aside the
Force bill in behalf of other matters, the
best thing II can do Is to leave 1t aside

Mr.. 1Ioar had taste of force when
eight Republican Senators joined the
Democrats in forcing the Forie bill to
give way to buslness.---New York World.
II was great surprise to Mr.. Hoar yes
tcrday when, on the very eve of the Gau
Gus called to arrange forthc passage of the
Force bill, that bill was calmly voted out
Of the way and the Finance bill was
taken M in its place. This was the result
of suddenly developed, but probably
well-matured, coalition between the DEM
Ocrats and the silver Republicans, and II
was accomplished with q touch of theatri-
cal effect. The change in the situation is
as important MS 1t is sudden, and the
country will watch, not without anxiety,
the further action of the new combine
tion.--Noc jok Times.
The spectacle presented in the Senate
yesterday afternoon is not one that Re-
publicaps generally can view or speak Of
with patience. Eight members of the

voting To remove the Election bill from
the favorable place which it has occupied
ON the calendar from the opening of the
session and To give precedence to the
financial matters which in the eyes OF
some Senators are more important. The
names of the eight are; Teller and Vol
colt of Colorado; Stewart and Jones of
Nevada, Shoup and Mcconnell of Idaho;

leadership Of Mr. Stewart eight Silver Re-
publicans united with the Democrats tn
switch oil the Force bill aud put the lHi-
nancial bill in its place, Such AN alliance
was sure TO be formed, and, if necessary,
more Republicans would have joined n.
