JUDGE BiLEss, a celebrated English
iurist, in his work, popular Political
Economy, says that men talk glibly of
variations in the currency. Few reflect
on the awful extent to which such
changes affect the prosperity of all
ranks. The laborer. the pauper and
the beggar are as much Interested IN
the currency question as the manufac-
turer, the shop keeper or the great

thinks will be better received by the
house. He will ascertain by trying to
get q vote on it this week. Mr.. Oates
did not take the defeat Of his bill kind
ly, and, although he is a pronounced
free coinage man himself, he accused
the silver men of having defeated it.

President Cleveland asked a senator
to use his influence to have the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hornblower to the sup
RENE court, acted on at once, in order
that he might send in another nomina-
ton if the senate declined to confirm
that of Mr.. Hornblower. The opposi-
ton to Mr.. HornbIower is apparently
mnch more active than numerous, and
if a report could be gotten from the
judiciary committee, even if it were
adverse. it is believed that the nomina-
ton would be at once confirmed. Sena-
tor Bill is credited with being respon-
sibIe for having that report kept back.

just because its occupant has nothing

some politicians wish it let alone.

Great efforts have been and are be-
ing made to have the tariff bill submit
ted to a Democratic caucus before it is
reported to the house and it may yet
succeed. The principal obstacle is the
hesitation of members to pledge them
selves to abide by the the caucus de-
cision. Members representing districts
in which sugar is produced we're among
the first to start the agitation for a
caucus, but they have discovered that
the sentiment of the course is not only
against the retention of the proposed
reduced bounty on sugar, but also
against putting duty on foreign sug-
ar; consequently they are not as anxi-
Gus for caucus as they were. Wheth-
er there is a caucus or not the impress
sion is becoming general that the sug-
ar bounty will be dropped, if not in
the house, in the senate.

National Capital News.

The first week of congress dissap-
pointed those who believed the chest
nutty advance statement that this was
to be a ''business session" from the first
day, and that the new tariff bill was to
be passed by the house before the
Christmas adjournment, as there would
be no delay in organizing the house
and making up the COMMITTEES. Old
stagers are never caught by such state
ments; they know that they are always
made and never lived up to, and that
there is always a certain amount of
friction at the beginning of every first
session of congress that must be over
come before the legislative machinery
will work smoothly. This friction has
never been more apparent than during
the past week. The principal cause in
this instance being the tariff, subject
that has never failed to produce it in
large quantities.

The Wilson tariff bill will, unless
there bea change in Chairman Wilson's
latest announced programme, be re-
ported to the house this week, but the
internal revenue bill will not accom-
pany it, for the very good reason that
the majority of the ways and means
committee have yet been able to agree
upon its main feature-a form of in
come tax Most of the members per-
sonally favor a personal income tax,
beginning with incomes of 1000, and
there would be no doubt of its being
reported in that shape we're it not that
President Cleveland's message announ-
ced that the committee had agreed up
on the tax on the net income of cor
porations. Some of them hesitate
about classifying that announcement.

All of the papers relating to Hawaii
have been copied and will this week
be sent to the senate, in answer to the

they will be the basis of an interesting
debate there is little doubt, although
the fact that the senator's stand so
nearly together on the subject may
make it very short.

Those who thought the presidents
message long document will find that
for length it was not in it with Secre-
tary. Carlisle's annual report, which is
expected to be completed and sent to
congress this week. Not within the
memory of the oldest habitue of the
capital city has the secretary of the
treasury's annual report been kept
back so late, but the delay is explained
by the announcement that the report
will contain more than $1,000 words,
making it more than three times as
long as the presidents message. I'm
portant as it viii doubtless be, there
are few people aside from professional
financiers who VIII do more than read
that portion of it which viii contain
the secretary's recommendation for
legislation. In fact that is the only
part prepared by the secretary; the.
rest is the work of his subordinates.
