Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-In the senate
Senator Murphy Dem, N. W presented
a large number of petitions protesting
against the passage of the new tariff bill.
Senator Hill was designated to act as a
memb-r of the committee on woman
suffrage, in the absence of Senator
Vance. This committee will give a
hearing to Susan B. Anthony. Senator
Wolcott of Colorado was also designated
to act as member of this committee.
When the house met it was still dead
locked ON the Bland bill and the first
thing in order was the consideration of
the, report of the sergeant alarms, who
was instructed by resolution to arrest
absentees.
The arrested members brought before
the speaker were excused ON giving a

execution in Marion county on the 18th of

80 Far Congress Has Done Little, Yet

30 Far Congress Has Done Little, Yet
Much Awaits Action.
WASHINGTON, Feb. insiders and
outsiders who predicted that the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-third congress would
end in May or early in June, are little
shy on prophecy. AS the days 90 on,
it becomes apparent that it is to be avery
long session, indeed. Called together in
August last, the only measures of ma
honal importance which have received
the signature of the president are the bill
TO repeal the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, and the bill to repeal the
federal election laws. That is the result
of something like five months of work.
Although the Wilson bill has passed
the chamber of its origin, experienced
legislators know that it is still many
weary mile from its finality, and are
frank to say so. Those miles are strewn
with STUMP s and powders, quaggy with
mudholes and scanned with gullies.
Outside of the tariff bill, which awaits
many changes and long debate, there
are hundreds of other measures for con-
sideration, many of them of much inn
portance.
The latest estimate of adjournment
made by even the most hopeful carries
the date well into July. Others name
August, September, or even October as
the month of parting. The only thing
deemed strong enough to force an accel-
GRAFTON of speed is the fact that the con-
gressional campaigns are soon to open.
Later News From Rio.
Rio JANEIRo, Feb. co. Copyrighted,
1894, by the Associated Press The
Brazilian insurgent warship Republica,
having on board, according to a report,
Admiral Mello and strong reinforce
ment of the troops for Admiral Da
CANA, has arrived here.
1t is reported ashore that the Nicthe-
roy, which sailed for the south after a
short stay in these waters, will be or
dered back from Santos to this port.
When the Nictheroy left here it was be-
lieved she had gone to Santos with the
intention of meeting the Republica, which
had been blockading that port for some
time.
Shortly after the arrival of the Repub-
hca Admiral Da CANA was visited by
an officer believed to be Admiral Mello
and a long consultation followed. 1t is
believed that an insurgent vessel is to be
sent in pursuit of the Nictheroy.

FEBRUARY q, 1894.

We regret to see the Fairmont
Inder and several other Democratic
papers continually harping at and
abusing Commissioner Miller, for
failing to dismiss Republican Office
holders from his Department 1t is
known to them, that he is hamper
ed with civil-service, and where it
is not this, he cannot make a reno
val without the consent of the Sec
rotary of the treasury, who signs
all commissions to Office in Mr..
Miller's department The REGISTER
too, would like to see Democrats in
every place now held by Republi,.
cans, but still we do not propose to
abuse Mr.. Miller or any other Off
ciaI for not doing what he would
like to do. Repeal the civil-service
law, and there will be but few Re-
publicans in Office in six months
after its repeal. Mr.. Miller is as
good a Democrat as any of those ed
itors who are finding so much fault
with him, and if he had his own
way, every Office in his department
would be occupied by Democrat
1t looks very much as if these at
tacks were actuated by disappoint-
ments and spite work.

If you pick up Republican pa
per nowadays, the first thing that
strikes yeu, is, that the country has
gone to the-dogs-beyond saliva
ton. But if you look a little closer
you will find that there is one in
failible remedy prescribed which
is bound to prove a certain cure.
That is to put his party into power
again. We trust no Democrat will
be deceived by any such slush.

If Judge MeCluer has any expec-
tation for the nomination for Con-
gress, at the next Democratic Con-
gressional Convention, he must call
down such INSCRIPTIONS editors as
Cooper, of the Ravenswood l[oun-
trineer. The tactics of that paper,
which is his main supporter in this
end of the District, will soon
drive from him all his friends
in this section. No man ever yet
succeeded in getting into Office by
assaults upon his competitors in
his own household. We do not
know whether Judge McCluer
winks at and sanctions the outrage
Gus editorials in the Mountaineer or
not. If he does not he should hast
en- to publish a disclaimer, if he
would save himself, and the sooner
he does it the better it will for him.

The attempt to straighten out the
tangled condition of the finances
OF the famous church has revealed
some very queer business methods ON
the part of the officers. The system Of
taking up and caring for church col
lections was most peculiar. Plates
were passed around by the elders and
their contents dumped into a bag,
which was given into the custody Of
the treasurer, who was solely trusted
to count the money and make returns.
This slipshod method of doing business
resulted in the charges brought against
ex-Treasurer Wood. The absence of
figures defeated the efforts of the per-
sons who thought there was a shortage
to sustain the charges made by them.

VII Not Henoninate .rarIo..-


) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-The Presi-
dent has decided not to give Charles
ii. j. Taylor, the Kansas negro Demo.
crat. another chance at the Bolivian
mission. The senate hung up Mr.. Tav-
Tor and rejected Mr.. Astwood. the
other negro nominated by Mr.. Cleve-
land to be Consul at Calais. At the re-
assem- bling of congt sss in regular SEES
sion IN December it was predicted that
both men would be renominated.
Neither OF the nominations referred to
las been made, and it is said that the
committee of the Negro Democratic
league, which talked with the presi-
dent on the subject. is satisfied that
the president does not contemplate re-
nominating either of them. This de-
termination on his part is said to be
due to a conviction that they stand no
chance of confirmation. He has high
opinion of Mr.. Taylor. but is skeptical
OF his confirmation as minister to b.
iivia, In view of intiinations that that
government would look with disfavor
on the appointment of colored man as
the diplomatic representative of the
United States. That the league is sat
listed that Mr.. Taylor is not to be ac-
credited to Bolivia is indicated by the
fact that it has urged his appointment
as recorder of deeds of the District of
C0lum bia.
