The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1894-12-03

re,s, begins at noon tomorrow. Be-
y youd the passage Of the regular appro-
Distion nj bills, 1t seems probable that lit
ia IA In the way Of legislation will be ac-
eoupli.hed at the shortsession, although
several important propositions will
douutlsss be pressed to the front.
Among the members Of the dominant
Marty in the house, over half of whom
rsrs defeated for reelection, there is a
gr.,. deal Of bitter feeling against the
Sdministration for real or fancied griey-
twill be the purpose Of the Demo-
cratic leaders to curb. as far as possible,
The display Of resentment.
II The President outlines a financial
scheme in his message tomorrow, as
anticipated, it will probably furnish
tbs opponents Of his banking and fnan-
eial views their desired opportunity. In
tbs course Of the session it is under
,tood the Nicaragua canal project will be
brourht prominently forward. At the
opsnipg Of the Congress, however,
routine matters will be kept to the fore
10 s.aye of as far as possible unpleasant
references to the election which would
proye distasteful to the majority, but
Ibis policy can only be partially success
iu, as the latitude allowed in debate on
appropriation bills will throw the doors
open to remarks on any subject
Before the adjournment for the holi-
days II will be necessary to pass an ap.
propration to carry out the tariff bill
provision Ievying tax on incomes, the
collection OF which begins January !,
and while It will no doubt meet with
much opposition and tead to general
review Of the arguments against such
tar, the general impression is that It will
pass by large majority. :.
The impeachment OF Judge Ricks, OF
the Northern District OF Ohio, will also
furnish diversion before the holidays,
1.-THE judiciary committee which inves-
tigated the charges should present a
resolution OF impeachment and it
should carry. The trial would occur in
the senate, the chief justice presiding.
Impeachment proceedings are rare and
novel, and this one, the first since the
trial Of President johnson, would at
tract national attention.
Tomorrow, II quorum is present in
the house, as seems almost certain,
after the calling OF the roll nothing will
bedone probably beyond the reading Of
the Presidents message. No definite
programme has been arranged for the
remainder OF the week. The committee
on appropriations, however, has two
bills almost prepared, the pensions and
ratification bills, and they will be re-
ported on Tuesday, so that work upon
them can be entered upon Wednesday.
THE SENATE.
The senate will be called to order
Monday at l2 o'clock noon when the
las. session OF the Fifty-third Congress
will begin. The vice president is in the
city and will preside. The session will
begin with full calendar, the result OF
committee action during the long ses'
sion, and it contains at least two hum
dred items. covering wide range Of
matters. Nothing has transpired to in
dica!e which OF these two hundred
questions will receive fret attention,
whether they will be taken in their
order, or whether the calendar will be
followed at all.
Much interest Is felt among senators
Of all political beliefs in the Presidents
message and in tho recon mendations
which the secretary OF the treasury will
make on financial questions. These
Will have much to do in directing the
course Of the senate. II there are re-
concentrations for radical departures
10 financial methods, they are sure to
lead TO much speech-making early in
me session, and later to form the basis
Of committee actions.

tor Voorhees, declaration that he will
ask the finance committee to sit on

regular weekly meeting OF this commit

promptly after the assembling OF the
senate. Chairman Voorhees, declines
