spR1NaER's NEW JOB.
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, which is charged with the prepa
ration of the tariff bills was questioned
relative to the time it would take
to enact new tariff bill. He SAID it
would be impossible for congress to en-
act any measure of the kind earlier
than May, if the subject were considered
at the regular session, beginning in De-
cember. An extra session would of
course bring the matter to a settlement
much quicker, as it met in December for
the regular session, and would give the
people fair opportunity to Judge of the
merits Of the measure adopted before the
general elections in November.
Ell pAso CoLLEcToRsH1p.
The Ell Paso colectorship matter seems
to be nearing solution. Sec. Carlisle
states that he intends to recommend Mr..
Nat Gunter for the place. Usually this is
equivalent to an appointment. However,
there has been no fight made against Gun
ter to amount to anything. Senator Coke
is for him. Mills preferred. Mr. Davis,
but made no fight on Gunter.
