presumption IN our correspondent
to attempt to do so. But indlca
tons are plentiful to sustain the
charge MADE by democrats that one
of principle difficulties OF the party
is that there are Influential Nom
bers of 1t IN the House as well as
in the Senate who do not wish a
tariff bill passed.
This week opened with an appar'
ent determination to pass or to
kill the tariff bill before IT Closes
Senator HILLS resolution instruct
Ing the Senate cOufcrees to report
a disagreement and return the bill
for further action OF the Senate
is in line with the wishes OF the
killers, and the House democratic
caucus Which advised concurrence
in all the Senate amendments so as
to head oft the feared intention OF
the Senate to adopt q motion as
soon as the bill is IN a proper
parliamentary condition to post
Done It's further consideration
until the next session of Congress
represented those who wish to pass
some sort of a bill. Members of
the House appear to think the
Senate very much in earnest about
killing the bill, but 1t is more
probably merely a final attempt
to scare the House into accepting
the Senate amendments.
It's to b, hoped that several
investigations that the C)m-
missioner of Labor has been charg'
ed BY Congress with making will
be more productive of information
then have those by Congressional
Committees. Ole ofthe last rovid-
ed for is that to ascertain the effect
of the use of machinery on labor
and wages. Tuis isn't actually a
law yet, bat a j)int resolution
appropriating $4,000 to pay the
cost OF the investigation has been
adopted by both branches OF Con-
gress and now only awaits the
Presidents signature.
Elk Senator NJ 4hOne, OF Virginia,
is very small man, but he has a
very large temper and j lst now he
is giving it full swing. The Ex'
Senator is not rich as he was a few
years ago. Therefore he was all
the more disappointed when the
House blue. penclled the Senate
amendment to the Slndry Civil
appropriation bill for the purchase,
at $3.50. 600, of piece of ground
owned by him, for site for a new
Government Printing Office. Gsn.
Malone bought this ground several
years ago solely to sell to the
government, and this Is the second
time he has seemingly been on tue
eve of accomplishing his purpose
only to be disappointed, however
he doesu'C get sympathy in Wash
tngtOn
The Public Printer has made
public a strong appeal to Congress
for temporary relief for the large
force of people employed In the
Government Printing Office. lie
points out that it will take several
ears to erect new G.. P. o., even
supposing that the iobbers in real
estate will ever let Congress select
a site upon which to build, ii it ever
lis. If Senator Aliens anti-lObbying
bill were a law there would not be
the slightest difficulty about selec
| ton of site for the much needed
new G.. P. o., but alas! itlsn't, and
probably never will be.
Some ofthe negro office holders

These letters are signed by Taylor

after a number of discharge
among the negro employees OF th'
government they have caused a
great fright, which has not beer
lessened by the receipt of a Letter
purporting to be signed by Senator
Faulkner, asking for funds for tb'
