President Cleveland hopes to join Mrs.
Cleveland and Ruth Al heir Buzz "a BAY cor
ACE ,ne latter r.yt Of his week, although he
las % mach t. do rli,t he cannon make III,
Grip one of resi- ard rrcle ttion. He will Sim
NV transfer the executive flee from the
U-bite House to his seaside cottage, in order
that he NAV work with more comfort aud few
err interruptions and at the same time be with
Mrs. Cleveland during the period that every
stfectionate husband likes to be with his wife
He told Representative Richardson, of Ten
nessee, who was chairman of the committee
on Printing in the last House and who will
probably occupy the same position when the
present House is organized, that he would moi
appoint the new Public Printer for some
time. The delay in the appointment OF this
official is believed to bs l'rgely due to de-
sire to perfect plan for tie entire reorgani-
zation Of the Government Printing office as
soon as the change is made.

who was member of he House committee
on Rules in the last Congress, says some lad
ical changes will lave to lie ma ie in the House
rules if difficulty is to be escaped in carrying
out the pledges IF the party. lies that vii
prevent more than reasonable time being
consumed in fllibustering are what will be
needed to carry out the democratic legislative
programme.

ted sensation in the House a few weeks be
fore the adjournment Of the last session Of
Congress by declaring that under ,um's ad

the loss of hair. Republican members of the
House bitterly denied the statement aud call
ed upon Mr.. TAlsney to give the name Of
his informant, and the next day Raum sent a
letter to Representative GrOut, Of Vermont
officially denying that a pension had never
been allowed tor badness, aud again Mr..
Tarsney was asked to give bis informant's
name. Mr.. TarsneY replied by saying that
his informant was all employee of the len.i IN
Office aud would at once be dismissed if bis
name we're mentioned. He added however
that he believed the statement to be true and
said: ~ make this pledge to the House; that
at the very first oprortune moment it can be
safely done, shall, by the files and records
of that Office, prove the truth of my inform
ants statements, or hold him up to the scorn
of the House and the country as . falsifier, q

Peck will draw no more money on that &C
count.
Secretary Morton says his recent trip to NJ
braska convinced him that the populist party

| that the democrats of that section will nevel
consent to fusion with such a party. He
thinks that if any party combines with the
populists it will be the republicans in a few
u the southern states.
