As we expected, Mr.. Springer is not willing
to give up his important chairmanship, and
will not do so without struggle and without
knowing the reason why The alleged reason
for retiring him is that his health is not equal
TO the strain that would be imposed on him
By the leadership of the House. But Mr.
Springer who ought to know something about
his own health. knows better. lie has arrived
in Washington in his usual robust condition.
and is prepared TO show against all corners that
his health is pa, cularly good. Evidently some
other excuse must be brought forward by those
who want to see the Illinois statesman laid on

An interesting Washington dispatch this
morning deals with the probable attitude OF
the members of the Senate on the silver queS-
ton. or at least on the repeal of the Sherman
law. The last vote on the question OF free
coinage was taken on July /, 1892. when the
Senate pronounced against it by a. TO Al,
taking all the members into account. >ihce
then many changes have occurred in the mem
bership but a safe estimate shows that thirty
four Senator's will vote for and thIrt!-ionr
against repeal leaving twenty in the doubtful
list. Hence any discussion Of the probable
action of the Senate on silver must plainly be
more or less in the nature of guesswork.
