Our Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON. d. c.. April IL. 1894.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, is
by general admission, since the re-
tirement of Ingalls,, of Kansas, the
ablest parliamentarian in the Sen
ate. 1t is therefore no disparape-
ment of Senator Voorhees,, whose
hard work has entitled him to a
little rest, to say that the placing
of the tariff bill in charge Of Sena-
tor Harris was wise move. In
addition to his parliamentary know
ledge he is also full of aggressive
ness. He very cleverly outwitted
the Republican Senators this week
and put an end, for the present at
least, to Republican fillibus.ering
to delay the tariff debate. He
made a bluff of intending to offer a
resolution providing for meetings
at IL o'clock and sitting until 6
each day. This frightened the Re-
publicans and they made the propo-
sition that for a week the Senate
take up the tariff bill at o'clock
and continue its debate without roll
calls or other Interruptions until 5
o'clock. This was what he wanted
and exactly doubled the time pre-
viously devoted to the tariff bill,
and, being more than the Demo-
Gratis expected to get without a
struggle, was promptly accepted.
Senator Harris is perfectly will
ling this agreement shall continue
ID force for ten days or two weeks
tonger, then he will begin to put
on the screws in earnest, to bring
the debate to an end, by adding an
hour each day to the sittings until
they become continuous, TINS COM
polling the Republicans to keep a
speaker on the floor at all times.
Senator Hills speech against the
tariff revision bill has been the
most talked about event of the
week, and Republican praise Of it |
has been carried to an extent that |
must be nauseating to him. Dem
ocrats, while conceding Mr.. Hills |
right to talk and vote against his |
party's measure, are unanimous In
expressing the belief that he has |
made a great mistake, aud that it |
vas aggravated by his uncalled-for !
attack on the administration which
he helped to put into power, as
veil as by his slurs upon Southern
Democrats, who have stood by the T
'arty SO often even when they had
0 pocket their own personal opin-
ons, as well as those of their con-
tituents, in order to preserve uni
ed party action. That man does
'ot live who has the right to doubt
r cast aspersions upon the loyalty
t Southern men to the Democratic
'arty, and least of all Senator Hill,
Tho has so many friends among
southern Democrats. What effect
is speech will have upon the fate
the tariff bill is yet to be seen.
