Absence OF the Ciotsrc Rule In the Senate
May Defeat the Unconditional Re-
peal In the Senate.
TlMFs BuHEAu. RAPtHY BurLprSo, |
WAsHISoroS. August ~. 1893

Just about all that Is left of interest
inths silver debates now is centered In
the personality OF the speakers. and to-
day with Senator Voorhees, on the Sem
ate floor and prominent speakers In the
House there was a goodly throng OF vis-
itors in the galleries and the members Of
Senate and House frequently passed from
one chamber to the other. Not that any
body expected any very startling addi-
tions TO the repeal argument. but that
these men have the wonderful gift OF
pleasing speech even when the subject is
familiar and the argument well known.
Then too the national reputation OF tho
men. and the recognition of their foren-
stability creates a desire TO see and hear
them. and their advocacy OF any cause
is a strong addition TO the ranks OF it's
supporters.
The debate on the silver question I'm tho
House will be closed on Saturday with
speeches by Mesrs Cochran and Wilson.
There seems now only one thing TO stand
I'm the way OF a speedy and Unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law. and that is
the absence Of the cloture rule I'm the Sem
ate. but II Is yet very probable that the
silver men will not attempt to indefinitely
postpone a vote under the pretence OF
wanting TO discus the subject.
The committee clerkships OF the House
committees awarded to Virginia will not
be changed General Peyton Wise will
again have charge OF the clerical work OF
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee. and Major A. J. Stofer will
be reappointed by Colonel O'Ferrail for
the Committee on Elections. Hon. Paul
Edmunds also now has the appointment
OF a clerk 10 the Committee on Expendi-
lures In the Agricultural Department and
has already named Mr.. -. Q. Eggleston,
cf Charlotte county. The assignment Of
Mr.. Edmunds 10 this chairmanship was
wholly a surprise TO him. as whea the
Speaker asked him II he desired anN par
ticular thing. he replied you kncIw me
perfectly well. Mr. Speaker. DO with ma
as you think best" This was In strong
contrast with some OF the contettions
that some OF the members and delegations
had and proved to be decidedly the most
polite course TO be pursued.
Hon. ID. Gardner Tyler was at work as
early as usual this morning aud when
Secretary Herbert arrived at the Navy
Department this morning he found the
gentleman from Charles City County a.
waitingf him.
As consequence Of the visit the Secre-
tary has promised TO appoint John H.
Mayer Jr. to a clerkship I'm the Depart
ment Of Supplies In the place Of Mr. T. w.
Hodges.

w. lyman is 10 be the receiver and Nr

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 22.-The
appointment OF the committees has ex-
cited a good deal Of interest In the ques-
tion OF the course 10 be followed by the
committee on ways and means with re-
iation to the tariff. The committee has
not yet been organized. and the mem
bers OF the majority have not discussed
their plans, or, in fact. made any plans
IL is understood, however, 10 be the de-
sire of those most interested in the mat
ter that the committe should get 70 work
at once on the revision OF the tariff
What will be done will depend Of course
very largely upon the length OF the ses-
sion. There Is some talk of an earlier al b.
journment OF Congress than has been re-
garded as probable, but there is no IL
dication that the expectation OF an
early adjournment is warrented. The IL
dications are that this special session
will be prolonged and II is probable that
there will be no more than brief recess
between this and the first regular SEES
sion.
The statement OF Mr.. Cleveland In his
message calling Congress together 10 con-
slider the silver question that he had con-
templated calling them here in September
10 consider thetariff is generally accepted
as an announcement OF his desire that
after the financial question is settled, The
consideration Of the tariff will be proceed
ed with.
But regardless OF what his intentions
NAV be there is very strong disposi-
ton among the democrats IN Congress,
especially among tae headers, 10 20
ahead with the work at once. SO as 10
clear it up and make an early adjourn
ment of the first regular session possi-
BILE. They feel that If the work OF Con-
gress can be so far advanced by contin-
ming the special session as TO admit OF
an adjournment OF the regular session

Of the party In power.

does not necessarily mean that a bill
would be reported very soon for the
reason that the work is one that will take
considerable time ard the rapidty with
which the bill is completed will depend
upon the mode OF procedure

ter a great deal, he would not undertake

but said that he thought the party was
in a situation now TO perfect a broad

cordance with their pledges TO the

A tall lover, who, with grace,
Won by her sweet winsomc face,
Would mako her mistress Of n castle home

so this little maid in Maine.
With her mother In the lane,
when with waiting she grew weary.
Would say: "This world Is droary
without my prince, my castle homo
In Spain"
But this little maid in Maine
Signs no more for prince from Spain,
For one day, TO her surprise,
She read In plnymate's eyes,
What she knew her prince would say,

Now this little maid in Maine
Wants no castle home in Spain,
For she's happy, so they say
Every moment OF the day,
Being mistress OF cottage

MosT persons, save those who have
had in childhood the advantage of kin
dergarten teaching, are curiously ig-
norant OF colors, not through color
blindness, but from never having been
taught TO distinguish and name various
shades and tints Of primary colors. The
name vermillion carries no distinct i'm
preston to the great mass Of people
and the same Is true Of other names
used 10 designate variations Of primary
colors. 1t thus happens that poetry
often means nothing to such persons,
since the names for colors used by the
poet convey to the reader no distinct
picture.
