A NEW DEAL IN The PARTY.
Springer, Holman and Bland May Be
Retired as Chairmel.

Controller EckePs to Make Reply to
Herman Myers Charges on His Re
turn From New York-A Hope That
the Controller and New York Bank
srs Will Reach an Understanding.
Washington, July 19.-The hope of the
democrats here, residents and visitors, is
that Mr.. Crisp if elected speaker will be
rid Of Messrs. Springer, Holman and
Bland as prominent committee chairmen.
What the country needs and what the
country demands is new deal and new
men with new ideas, and unless they be
forthcoming we may look forward to '96
with some degree of apprehension. For
very many years the democratic side of
the House of Representatives has been
run by few leaders who have known
next to nothing about the wants Of
the people, and whose sole idea
has been to advance their
individual interests at the expense of the
party. This class of statesmen have had
their day, and hereafter they may expect
to be listed for their full value by demo-
cratic correspondents. Indeed it has been
reserved by the party workers for the
press to uncover all shortcomings of dem
ocratic members, and to let their constit-
uencies know just what they are doing,
and how far short of their duty they fall.
Among southern correspondents espe-
cially there has existed disposition to
Dat their members on the back whether
they earned their pay or not, but none of
this sort of blarney may be expected in
the future.
MR. MYERS ATTACK ON ECKELs.
The MORNING News correspondent
called to see Controller of the Currency
Eckels to-day, but found him absent in
New York. His private secretary re-
marked, in speaking of the Myers card
relative to the Oglethorpe Bank at
Brunswick that Mr. Eckles had tin box.
and that when he opened it, which he
would do on his return, MIR. Myers would
not fly his kite quite so high in the tnan-
cial atmosphere.
Speaking of Mr. Eckels, it is to be
hoped that during his stay in
New York some understanding
may be arrived at between the New York
financial world and the government.
Whatever may be said about the New
York bankers they are conservative men
with wide experience who are in touch
with the business interests all over the
country. This much is sure: the mere
repeal of the Sherman law will not do.
First, we seem to want the unconditional
repeal, but further legislation is neces-
sary at once to assure the gold exchange
value Of the dollar of all kinds and
some measure which will provide for a
gradual increase of the currency.
Thus far we have only heard
insane speeches from the far west. The
east has been silent on the question of re-
form. Ii is in the conservative east,
however, that the plan must originate,
and the financial censors will naturally
have suggestions to make. Mr.. Eckels is
young man, and, therefore, he can be
independent and vigorous in devising a
substitute measure for the Sherman law.
1t Is sincerely to be hoped that the New
York meeting may result in such an eX-
change of opinions as will unite the bank
ing sentiment of the east on some settled
policy or plan.
MR.. BERNER's MISSION.
There is little matter of local moment
here. Hon. Robert Berner of Forsyth,
slipped into Washington one day last
week, received his instructions from the
feared some one would rob him of his
commission. 1t is understood that his
mission will take him 10 DesMoines, Iowa,
and that his business will be to establish
permanent titles to almost all of the lands
in the valley of the DesAloines river.
Mr. Berner has fat take and he may
get full years work out of it.

1rated literateur of Georgia, to Miss
