The colonel came TO this city Tues

about Editor Fortune. The latter had
commented rather severely in the last
edition of the Age on the fact that
Murrell supported founder Bradley
in his attitude toward colored people.
Col. Murrell told friend that
he had wri ten singing rebuke to
Mr.. Fortunes remarks and then read
the article TO him. Mr.. Fortune heard
of this and the col"nel's verbal COM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The result of
the one.fare round-trip experiment
which the railroads are making with
reference to the Worlds Fair travel is
proving very satisfactory to officials of
the companies and IL is intima,ed here
that there may be a continuation OF
the rates during the remainder Of the
Fair and possibly a further reduction.
1t is to be hoped tn this may bring
other roads into line for the half-fare

| VOICE OF MR.. CRISP

He VIII Make No Hurried Selections
Much Depends up"n Tone OF the
Presidents Message-Msy Pit Cock
ran Against Bland.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Speaker Crisr
authorizes the sta ement that there il
no basis whatever for any one OF the
reports which have been circulated re
garding the appointment of chairmer
Of committees. He has not yet de
cided upon a single appointment ane
will not do SO for several days, Ger.
tainly not before the arrival OF the
President and Secretary Carlisle, and
probably not until the caucus shall
have officially designated him as its
candidate for speaker. He dCea not
expect to announce the committee I'M
til eight or ten days after the organi.
zation on Monday. lie may make an
exception of the committee on coin
age. but has reached no such determi-
nation as yet.
The truth is that all depends upon
the tone of the Presidents message.
If Mr.. Cleveland shall contine his
recommendation strictly to repeal,
with no hint OF subse luent legislation
in the direction of bimetallism, it
might be considered wise to pit Cock
ran against the redoubtable Bland. in
which event Cochran would havt the
ways and means 10 become chairman
of the coinage committee. If,
on the other hand, the FRESH
dent shoald deem more paci-
fie policy advisable, it might be
considered wise to permit Mr.. Bla nd
to retain his position, if he should
care to do SO, despite an opposing ma
jority in his committee. AS the com
position of the ways and means COM
mittee will be affected by that of the
coinage committee, especially with
reference to Cochran, it is easy to see
the reasons for the statement that all
depends upon the Presidents policy as
outlined in his message.

The Selection Of Gresham.

st. Louis Republic.
Views of Democrats regarding the
selection of Judge Gresham for the
State Department are by no means
moderating. The Democrats as a
rule are opposed to Judge Gresham.
The dispatch sent out from Chicago
that he accepted the State Depart
ment, not because he liked the place,
or desired to reside in Washington,
or to become a member of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, but because he
felt it to be public duty, has not in
any way abated their feeling. They
argue that if Mr.. Cleveland could
not find among the 100000 Demo
Gratis of the United States a man
capable of taking the Secretaryship
Of State it was about time his party
should disband. Concerning the
feeling of Democrats here about Mr..
Gresham the following temperate ar
ticle from the independent Evening
Star of Washington City may help
to throw some light upon tbs situa-
ton, coming as it does from a strictly
nonpartisan source:
DEMOCRATIC DISSATISFACTION.
"While the talk of making an open
fight against the nomination of
Gresham for the Cabinet has about
died out and Democrats as a rule
refuse to discuss the Cabinet situa-
ton publicly, there is an intense feel
ing under the surface, and some of
the most conservative men in both
branches of Congress express the
opinion privately that there is going
to be bitter antagonism between
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1893-03-03
Congressional Industry.

The House was in that quiescent
mood that is so frequent of late.
Nobody was doing anything. Two
members stood opposite each other
directly in front of the main aisle,
below the Speaker. 1t was dead
lock.
The Speaker, rapping with his
gavel. No quorum has voted. Gen
tlemen desiring to vote will please
come forward.
The Speaker, FIVE minutes later.
Business is suspended for want of a
quorum. Gentlemen will please
vote.
Representative Hatch, who has
been out skirmishing, whispers to the
Speaker: 81 have been out in the
lobby and there are lots of members
out there, but they will not come in
and vote"
The Speaker, ten minutes later,
impatiently rapping again with his
gavel. Will the members please
come forward and vote? Nothing
can be done in the absence of quo
rum.
And so it continued for nearly half
an hour, when finally 1877 members
passed through the waiting tellers.
In the meantime count of the
House shows that good many more
than a quorum were in their seats.
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1893-03-03

Mr.. Cleveland and the rank and file
of the Democrats in Congress after
he gets into the White House. A
strange thing about this is that
great deal of this quiet talk comes
from men who have heretofore been
ranked as Cleveland men. There is
no doubt that the steel has gone
deep into them, and while they are
trying to keep a straight face and
canceal their pain under an assumed
Indifference they feel a mortal wound.
"The Morrison men are very much
disguised at Morrison's getting turn
ed down, and while few Of them
still cling to the hope that Gresham
may be credited to Indiana and Nor
rison yet be given a place, most of.
them do not entertain this hope for
minute and are very bitter in their
expressions privately.
vILLARD's INFLUENCE.
"They do not pretend to account
for Mr.. Wizards influence with Mr..
Cleveland, but they cling to the be-
lief that it is on account of Wizards
opposition to Morrison that he is not
to go into the Cabinet. They say
that the turning down of Morrison
and the appointment of Gresham is
going to play the mischief with the
Democratic party in Illinois and that
it will be very hard fight to hold
the advantage they gained at the last
election in that State. There is still
half-hearted fight being made to
get old time Democrats in the places
that are yet to be filed in the Cabi-
net, and the assertion is very general
that if Mr.. Cleveland wants to place
himself in touch with the Democrats
in Congress he had better get some
one in the Cabinet who will be recog-
nized by the old time Democrats and
who will have some influence with
them.
"Carlisle's appointment is very sat
isfactory to them, but he is only one
man, and they say that one swallow
does not make spring. This talk
does not appear to be for the purpose
of booming any particular man or to
force anyone in particular, but, on
the contrary, there appears to be a
growing Indifference as to whether
Mr.. Cleveland tries to put himself in
touch with the rank and file of the
party. 1t is rather a cold statement
of what they believe the situation to
be and prediction of the conse-
quences.
FEELING OF INDIFFERENCE.
"The feeling is that if Mr.. Cleve-
land is not willing to place reliance
in the regular stalwart Democrats,
and to try to strengthen the party
and hold it together, there is no
reason why they should make any
sacrifices in order to get closer to
him. With this feeling = if other
Cabinet selections announced do not
relieve it to some degree-there will
be very slim prospect of any silver
legislation which does not agree with
the popular view in Congress. The
People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1893-03-03

assertion is made that Is men are to
be placed in positions tot make recon-
mendations to Congf %ss and try to
influence Legislation in accordance
with the views of the Mxecutive, it
will be very much better to select
men for such service who are recog-
nized as colleagues and brothers by
Democrats of long service and who
will have influence with them.
"Whether this feeling is justified,
or whether it will last or not, there
is no doubt that it is very general at
this time. With some the express
sions may be intended merely as a
threat to compel Mr.. Cleveland to
make terms, but this motive cannot
be honestly said to be the most gen
eral controlling.
AT VARIANCE WITH A LARGE ELE-
MENT.
"The statement is made that Mr..
Cleveland is at variance with large
section Of his party on number of
points, and that by putting to the
front men who are not recognized as
the wheel horses of the party he will
make it only the more difficult to
bring the party together.
cit is said that the trouble about
the attempt to secure the repeal of
the Sherman law was largely that
the men most active in trying to Sc
cure the repeal were unknown as
Democrats, and that members listen
ed in vain for any word from the
men from whom they have been in
the habit of Citing advice in party
affairs. If the same policy Of com
municating through strangers is fol-
lowed after Mr.. Cleveland gets into
the, White House it is predicted that
thearesults will be the same. These
men may be a little too quick at
jumping to conclusions, but there is
evidence of great discomfort, disap-
pointment and apprehension"

$1,000 Each for Their Votes.

LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 18.-The In
vestigation Of the charges of bribery
in connection with the recent Sena-
torial struggle was resumed to-day
before the special House committee
of three. Representative Krick told
what he knew of the occurrence at
the Lindell Hotel on the night of the
9th instant. He testified that Walsh
and Roeder, working in the interests
of John M. Thurston, offered himself
and Representative Saderman 81 900
apiece to vote for Thurston. They
said that they must have five votes
by II o'clock, and that Krick and
Saderman might as well have the
money as any one else.
At the conclusion of the testimony,
Thurston appeared before the com
mittee and asked that he be allowed
to cross examine witness Casper.
Chairman Stevens held that this
would necessitate the employment of
an able lawyer on the part of the
committee and declined to grant the
request. McKesson, the third men,
Der of the committee, favored the re-
quest of Thurston, but was overruled.
Thurston will appeal to the members
of the House on Monday to be al
lowed to appear before the commit,
tee and question witnesses.

A COMPARISON
Between Two Bills Which We're Intro
duced in Congress Recently.
The Wool Hat, Feb. IS.

The Wool Hat, Feb. IS.
On Jan. 9, Mr.. Watson introduced
a bill in the House on Jan. II, Mr..
Cate introduced one also. Mr.. Wat
sons bill was referred to committee
which was to bury it in one of the
pigeon holes in their room Mr.
Gates bill was attempted to be
rushed through the House under the
gag rule.
The purpose of those bills was the
same-to increase the circulation of
the currency = and the only diff
ference as to the manner in which it
was to be increased, and the details
to put each plan into operation.
In order to understand why these
two bills were treated so differently.
we must compare them, note wherein
they differ. and then remember that
in the present House there are 434
Demo Republican, or plutocratic
members, and only 10 Populist, who
