With q Democratic majority OF
iSS IN the House, and n Republican
majority Of 7 In the Senate, il l.
barely possible that the wings OF
the Capitol will not flap In unison
during the present session. The
Republican Senate on the one hand,
Is expected to iorcc the Democratic
House to show its hand ON the Free
Coinage question. while the Dem.
ocrntic House will, by the same to.
ken, essay to drive the Senate to a
repeal or essential modification OF
the Mckinley law. Indeed il ia al-
ready given ont that one Of the very
things that Mr.. Springcr's Ways
and Means Com,ri,tee will engage

whatever will bc accomplished that
