that the chances for defeating the bill
have steadily increased for some time
past, and are not disposed to accept
anything less than it's defeat, at least
not at this stage of the proceedings.
1t will be time enough to talk about
compromises three or four months
from now, if in the meantime the bill
has not been absolutely beaten or side
tracked.
Ex Spea'-er Reed has bad lots Of

ton brought out on the floor of the
house lately, but tie acknowledgement
he forced from Mr.. Sayers, chairman of
the house appropriation committee,
that the total deficiency caused by in-
sufficient appropriations by the 52nd
congress will reach the enormous
amount of about $l4,OOO,O0O, notwith-
standing the Saving" made by "hang
ing up" old soldiers applications for
pensions, leaving them to starve while
the administration keeps the money
appropriated for them by congress to
use for other purposes at the end of
the fiscal year when it can be covered
back into the treasury, and be made
available to pay amy existing claims
against the government, was probably
the greatest satisfaction he has had.
1t proved the appropriations made by
the ffty-second congress, controlled hy
democrats, to have been many millions
greater than those made by the much
abused "billion dollar" or Reed con-
gress. Democratic economy is any
thing that plays a big part in elections,
but some how it has never yet been put
into practical operation.
The republicans of the house are
making it plain to the democrats in
that body that it is needless for them
TO attempt to do any political business
without quorum of their own. The
republicans are hot disposed to make
the point Of ''no quorum" against the
regular appropriation bills or other nee
essarv business, but inasmuch AS there
are 21S democrats in the house they
will insist that l79 of them shall vote
when PARTISAN legislation il to be tax
en- up or passed,
The democrats in the house have
baen qnarrellng among themselves ever
since the beginning Of the extra session
about the repeal Of the tax on state
bank currency. Springer, IF Illinois,
chairman Of the committee of banking
and currency, is opposed TO repeal, ard
he succeeded some weeks ago in kill
ing it so far as that committee was
concerned. Swanson, of Virginia, poll
ed the demo nocrats, and claims that 30
of them favor unconditional repeal.
The matter is to be submitted to q
| democratic caucus tomorrow night,
but there is no more likelihood of its
being definitely settled than that a
democratic caucus could agree on a
silver bill.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April 9th, 1894.

" AS1lNGlON, NpII OlH, lOCt.
Senator Hill is the bull in the dem
ocratic China shop just now, and as
smasher OF political croskrry he is a
success. The first week of tho tariff
debate brought the free trade demo-
cratic senators three separate and dis
tinct defeats; small in themselves, bu,
still de7eats. The free traders are be-
wildered. They are asking each other
"where are we a2'' in plteous tones,
and no one can give them. a definite
answer. The second week opened
even more inauspiciously for them
with Senator Hills bold declaration of
war against the tariff bill as it now
stands. While Senator HIPS heaviest
artillery is trained upon the income tax
clause Of the bill, he intimates very
strongly that the bill will not be salts
factory to him even with the income
tax struck out.
1t is an open secret in Washington
that Mr.. Cleveland is in sympathy with
Senator Hills attack on the income
tax, indeed, Senator Brice is authority
for the positive statement that Mr..
Cleveland is strongly opposed to the
income tax. Mr.. Brice does not hesi
tate to say that lie also is opposed to
the income tax, but he says he has
not yet decided how he will vote if he
fails to get it struck out, and also to get
some other amendments he wishes
adopted. Hill, Brice and other dis
satisfied democrats would gladly make
a combination with the republican sen-
ators to strike out the income tax and
to amend the bill in number of sched-
ules, making the duties between those
named IN the bill and those in the Nc
Kinley law, but the republicans are not
III combining mood. They consider
