New York for a few days and
thereby hangs a tale that lis
very disconlforting to those
gentlemen who have been

deht-elect Cleveland would op
pose Mr.. Crisp's election as
Speaker Of the next House.
Mr.. Crisp goes to New York
upon Mr.. Clevelana's person-
al invitation to confer with
the President.elect aboutleg-
islation that is to come be-
fore the present House, the
extra session question, and
the organization of the next
House; and now the question
is being asked, why should
Mr.. Cleyeland wish to confer
with the Speaker if he is
opposed to his reelection by
the next House? 1t seems to
be 4 repetition of the old sto-
ry-sOmebody went off half
cucked.
The populist members of
Congress from Kansas have
evidently heard from home.
At first they were discretely
silent about the alleged can
didacy Of Mrs. Lease for the
Senate; now they openly rid
icule it, characterizing it rs
simply q republican scheme

Senator Hill is a membSr
of the Senate committee on
immigration, and he doesn't
agree with the ideas of the
majority of that committee
as to the legislation Decessas
ry. He viii! soon after the re-
assembling OF Congress pre-
sent his views in the shape Uf
a minority report and will Ell

Chandler bill, providing for
one years suspension Of i'm

has one subcommittee now
on it's way to Cuba and an.
other consulting with Treas

the immigration bills

The House and Senate CON-
mittees are working harmo-
nlOuSlv on this matter, and
no far politics have been kept
out OFF The only question
with members OF all PARTIES
being, what is the best thing
to do?
There is gping to be some
lively financial music in Con-
