posing it in other States. just as that
party has always done in Presidential
elections, on most questions of national
importance. The small fry were not let

would not have blackguarded Speaker
Crisp in such savage way, and then had
to eat his words afterwards, when he
was told why Speaker Crisp had seem.

but they all know the meaning of the
whole business, and about 80 or 80 of
them are trying to hatch up some scheme
of revenge, and if they only had nervy
leader they might accomplish something.
as with the present average attendance
in the House that many members. if pro.

House, aud keep it tied up until their

only threaten. and those who threaten
seldom fight.
1t is not regarded as probable that the
silver campaign opened in the Senate by
The debate on Mr.. Morgsu's resolution
will result in any definite action by that

u state of trepidation ON account of it
and may be forced to define their
position.
The first free trade measure, the
Springer free wool bill, will be put
through the House this week, but there
is not the remotest probability of its
getting through the Senate.
The Alliance men in Congress have
adopted new financial FAD" and to
near them discuss it one would suppose
snat they actually expected the bill au.
thorizing it to pass. 1t is for the Secre-
cary of the Treasury to issue on the DE-.
nand of the several States, legal tender
Treasury notes, similar to those now in
general circulation, in any amount de.
sired up to $50 per capita, taking the
population as given in the last Census.
The States are to deposit as security
twenty year bonds, bearing interest at
che rate of one per cent per annum. The
bill says nothing of how the States are t.
redeem these bonds at the expiration Of
twenty years, although il authorizes the
legislatures to distribute the money at
their discretion. Like the sub.treasury
cheme, it looks well on paper, and
would be equally impossible to put into
practical operation.

Representative Miller, Of Wisconsin,
was right when he denounced the pre-
sent rules of the House, as worse than n
rules at all, and said that the time of tn,
House, had been spent in doing nothin
or worse than nothing on accou mt of
those rules.
The House still keeps up the farce OF
holding one evening session each week to
consider private pension bills, but
quorum is never present and the point of
mo quorum" is invaribly made by some
democrat, so that nothing is ever done at
those sessions. At the last one repre-
sentative Hemphil, of South Carolin,
numerically scored his party for what
ne termed it "child's play" in holding
these sessions, and pretending to do
what it had no idea of doing.
All the sood things said about the
democratic members of the House COM
mittee OF Elections, because of their
votes to put Rockwell out of the seat to
which his republican opponent-Colonel
Noyes- was really elected, will have
been said in vain, If 10 shall turn out to

Hill has secured pledges from a msjorit,
