THE BAFFLeD CONSPlRAT ORS.
A fearful Republican Senatorial Caucus
The Financial Bill to BE Pushed.
fBy telegraph to the Dispstchl

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 5.-The Re-
publican senatorial caucus tonight was
rot very well attended, about twenty-e EIGHT
senators only being present. Still 1t was
fairly representative OF the various eie-
ments of the party in the Senate. There
was nothing like concerted action, and
the proceedings were mainly made up OF
individual conferences. The eastern sena-
tors accepted the situation as philosophi-
cally as possible, and the silver-men were
of course in good spirits. The result, as
far as il assumed shape. is that the pro-
moters of the elections bill gave their con,
sent to the consideration OF the hnanciai
bill with but one stipulation-that IL
should be pushed with the utmost dill
gence so as to get it out of the way. Con-
seauently an effort will be made to reach
vote upon the bill by next Thursday.
Whether this agreement included re-
newed consideration of the elections bill
after disposition of the financial Dill did
not appear, hnd it isprobable that the ques..
ton will be left to the determinauon OK
another caucus to be held when the imam
cial bill shall have been disposed OF.

HOW INGALLS, THINKS THE
RADICAL PARTY CAN BE
SAVED.

In letter to Republican meet
ing Ex-senator Ingalls, says:
"Republicanism If the future
must readjust itself TO the changed
conditions Of American life or il
will perish. / wish to save the party
fro'h this fate by recalling the spirit
OF energy, aggression and patriotic
force of the founders to the cam
paign Of 1892. This will be waged
upon economic and practical ques-
tlons and not upon memories or mo-
tions. Harrison will be renominated
and Cleveland will be his antagonist.
If we have courage and conscience it
Will be an AusterlItz; If we dicker
with popular errors, compromise
with unprincipled leaders, and sneer
at honest differences ofjudgment and
opinion, it will be Waterloo
There is a great deal OF tru; h in
the first sentence Of the above, and
the sO-called leaders of the Demo-
cratic party must recognize about
the same truth with reference to our
party.

We see it stated that his Mighty
SmallnesS King Pigmy Harrison is
expected to visit our Exposition in

to be candidate for the Presidency
again. The affection between Ben

INK WARRANTED TO FADE.

One of the novelties in the statiOr-
cry line is an ink that is guaranteed
to fade within week after it has
been put upon paper. The inventor
says he expects to make a great
deal OF money out Of his invention
in q short time.
"Just imagine, if you can," he
said to me: what a demand there
will be for my ink among cores
ponding lovers. The young man
can write words that almost scorch
holes IN the paper and ignite the
mails, but they fade out of sight
inside of week, leaving nothing
but white paper behind it.
"By the use of my ink" he con-
tinued, 'sthere will be no moro
compromising letters introduced as
evidence in breach of uromise cases,
and forgers will enjoy immunity
from punishment. l think it will
have great sale, don't you?" and
he wrung his hands in joy as the
visions of prospective wealth danced
before his eyes.

'.he Prince of Wales and some of

of England. They are being invcs-
tigated about some cheating that oc
cured in high circles over game of
cards known as "Baccarat." How
much longer will Englishmen bear
to be ruled by the fostering and cor
rupting nobility(?) and royalty i?
Were it not that finances tremble al
every change, even for the best, this
fellow called the Prime. Of Wales

MIND YOU DO NOT SWEAR
TO A LIE BEFORE THIS
MONTH is OUT.

June is the month for listing
property for taxes. 1t is believed
to be the most fatal month in the
year for the morals Of the people.
Every property owner must swear
as to the value of his property. and
there are men, who swear falsely in
this month, that are generally
truthful. 1t is believed with good
reason that the value of a third of
the property in this State is never
recorded on the tax books. The
rate of taxation in the State is low,
and yet it is high enough TO meet
the demands of public interests if
all property could he made to bear
taxes alike Charlotte Chronicle.
