Crisp Lectures the Caucus.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January S.-The eau
Gus of the democrats in the house convened
and Speaker Crisp offered a resolution de-
claring it was the duty of every democrat to
vote for the consideration of the tariff bill
and also that it was the duty of all demo-
Gratis to attend the sessions of the house and
MAINTAIN a quorum until the tariff bill is
disposed of.
In ringing speech the speaker took occa-
sion to rather sharply reprimand democrats
who had been responsible for the inaction
of the house. He said the proper way to
act for those who were dissatisfied would be
to take the bill up and have it considered.
They would be given an opportunity to
offer their amendments and these amend
ments under the terms of the resoIu-
ton of the committee on rules could be
voted upon. The majority could decide.
No member would lose any of his rights and
it would be to the honor and credit of the
party to go forward and legislate. The
party had been given commission from
the people and it was its duty to carry it
out. The spectacle had been disgrace to
the large democratic majority in the house
and he hoped it was not to be repeated.

The West i'm the Best shape.

NEW YORK, January 8.-Dun's weekly re-
view of trade has these paragraphs:
1t is questionable whether the working
force in the great industries has increased as
yet, though about the first of the year con-
siderable increase is expected. The number
of mills stopping and starting work is about
the same.
It is interesting and encouraging that sales
OF groceries are slightly larger than last year,
though a little less at the east and west, but
greater at the south. The fact that in most
branches the decrease appears smaller at the
west than at the east, and smaller output
at the east than at the west is curious fea-
ture.

TOPEKA, January ga. A. Hurd, of the
Santa Fe law department, who seems to
have direction of the efforts to compromise
with county commissioners, says:
I'm the matter of taxation outside of state
taxes there is no doubt in my opinion but
that the county commissioners have almost
absolute powers in the way of compromise
and settlement of all disputed taxes. 1t has
always been the accepted practice in this
state in cases where for any reason a persons
property has been unjustly taxed for them
to apply to the board of commissioners at
their January meeting when, if the claim
was Just the board would make an order d.
recting the treasurer to accept in full the
amount agreed upon as just and proper to
be paid. This practice has never been ques-
toned to my knowledge"
