WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Jan 2, '93.
From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan 2, '93.
Representative Springer, of H.
inois, is usually what might be
called mild-mannered sort of a
man, but his ire can be aroused;
in fact, it has been aroused and he
is now as angry fellow es any
one would care to see. He has
been "skunked" in the game of
politics, and he believes that a
cold deck" was used against him.
Springer Is ambitious those who
do not admire him say far beyond
his abilities. Be that as it may,
everybody in Congress knows
that Springer is ambitious. II
will not be forgotten that he was 4
candidate before the Democratic
caucus of the present House tor
Speaker, and that at an opportune
moment he threw the few votes
he controlled to Crisp, and the re-
suit was Crisp's nomination and
election. Another result that
Crisp was so grateful that he
made Springer chairman of what
is always when in competent
hands the most prominent as we'll
as important committee of the
House-Ways end Neans-not-
withstanding earnest protests
against such action from Demo
Gratis who had years ago sized up
Springeris brain power.
As Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee, Mr.. Springer
has not only made failure, bat
he has made himself the laughing
stock of majority of his own
party in Congress by his pop
gun" tariff bills. which were re-
ported from his committee and
passed by the House at the last
session. But that WAS not plain
to him. for be recently announced
himself SIS favoring the Cleveland
tariff progrsm-whatever that nay
be-and was instrumental in Sc
curing pledges from Democratic
