There Is every indication that In
stead OF Grover Cleveland capturing
Congress and bringing 1t over to his
way OF thinking. that Congress will
capture him. 1t has been stated
through administration papers that
Speaker Crisp had submitted to the
dictatlon Of the President and had
agreed to make changes in his ap.
pointment OF committees, by which
the leading committees OF Congress
should have chnirmen colncding in
views OF those Of the President on the
silver question. But the latest news
OF Mr.. Crisp is that he will defy Cleve-
land and organize Congress In his own
way, and Bland, Holman and Spring.
or are to be the leaders, as they were
In the last Congress.
The authority for this is from very
prominent Southern Senator. vino is a
silver man. who wrote to Crisp in
quiring about the numerous reports
which are current In the Democratic
monopoly press OF the East to the
effect that he, Crisp, has sold out to
Cleveland and that the finance ana
tariff committees of tho House of
Representatives are to be organized
rs the administration desires to have
them organized, as a condition that
Cleveland will not lie opposed. This
Senator desired to know what it all
meant. He found out. .--.......
A gentleman intimate with tn Sen.
ator referred to, saw the reply which
came from Crisp six days afterwards
and says:
II am not at liberty to tell what
there was in tho letter, but there was
enough in 1t to warrant mo in saying
with emphasis that as sure as MIR
Crisp Will be speaker the committees
will be appointed as | have said they
will he. And why not2 The Demo
cratic party has been fighting for free
coinage for twenty years and Bland
has been its leader. They have de
clHred for it in many platforms and
by many votes. What &as happened
that the Democratic party should
nbaEdon its principles and dlshonoI
tts chosen leaders?
THE Democratic leaders and news,
papers have been demanding that
there should be economy in public ex
pendltures and that Mr.. Holman
should have his way. He had his way
and why should lie not be appointed
again chairman of the Committee OF
Appropriations? Mr.. Holman has mo-
changed and the Democratic party Ina,
not changed.
The Democratic leaders demanded
also, that the Mckinley bill should be
attacked In detail and that there
shall be number of two line tariff
bills, Mr.. Springer supplied those
bills, They went to sleep in the files
OF the Senate Committee on Finance
for which Mr.. Springer was not re-
eponsible, He did what he was asked
and expected to do by some of the
men who are now demanding that he
shall not be again appointed chairman
OF the Committee on Ways and Means
IT will DO these men who will be dis
appointed and not Springer. Grover
Cleveland does not own Mr.. Crisp and
he does not control the Democrat,
party. Mark my words, the Congress
will meet. but It will not obey the dI
Tections OF the man from New York

The proposition to sell at public
auction the stalls on the market is a
good one, aud would result in large
addition to the revenues of tho city
The ordinance regulating the markets
requires that each person taking eight

at Seventh and Madison costing a.
much as space at Fourth and Madi
