Things OF Interest Hsppenirg In and Out Of
the Halls OF Congress.

| WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-The chief business
| OF the House to-day was the discussion OF the
Public Printing BILL which comes up as un-
finished business Mr. Chipman mich, said the
economy sought to be secured by the bill was
neither wise nor popular The bill contained
features which the House would never mp.
prove. The power given to the Senate in the
bill was not In proper proportion TO that OF the
House. Which nominally held the purse strings.
1t was part OF the plan pursued In
the last thirty years by which tho
Senate had gradually encroached upon
the powers and prerogativcs OF the
House until now the House had largely lost
control OF the appropriation bills. The state
OF things revealed by the statement OF Mr..
Richardson and the bill, itself demonstrated
the expectancy. II not the necessity. OF chang
ing the time OF the beginning OF the sessions
OF Congress. The present arrangement. by
which for nearly ten months the people were
not represented on tho Committee on Printing
| by the representatives elected by them. was
| an artificial II not UNI Democratic one.
| Mr.. tombstone OF South Carolina opposed the
bill on political grounds. He said lie saw in
its provisions scheme to consolidate in the
| Republican party. through It's control Of tho
| executive departments. absolute charge Of

members OF tho committee had political
