Evidently Mr. Springer had no such
good opinion Of himself. His speech
may read well in the record, but it GER
tainly sounded weak Looking on from
the gallery, it was hard to avoid the con
clusion that he was at most but half
hearted in support of the Carlisle bill.
And when Mr. Hall, as if By inadvert-
ence, let slip the fact that a substitute
bill was ready there was a general
smoker in the house and gallery, and
we began to see why Mr.. Springer
speech sounded as it did. AS if he real
lied that he had made a slip and was
determined to make the best of it, Mr.
Hail boldly launched cut and covered
the whole subjectin avery strong speech,
unhappily much marred BY his rapid
and vehement utterance. 1t is pity
that 50 logical a speaker should have
that particular fault which is SO easily
cured
Mr.. Hall is reelected, which in a
year like this may be considered as an
assurance that he is to stay here as long
as he likes, and l have a sort of impress
sion that he is one of the coming men
Of the west Mr.. johnson Of Indiana
next delivered 24O words a minute for a
solid hour. the only man in congress
and probably the only man in North
America who can do it. and he spoke
distinctly too The usual excuse for
these lightning ejaculators is that they
want to get as much as possible into
their limited time, but every reporter
knows that they repeat words and
phrases so much that they, with rare
exceptions. really say less in an hour
than more deliberate speakers. Messrs.
Warner Of New York and Ellis of Ken
lucky followed, and after that there was
really nothing new in the discussions,
though all the speeches were rather
above average.
Something Must Re Done.
Bets are even that some bill will be-
come d, Iaw=nOt this bill, of course, for
its fate is conceded, bat some modifica-
ton of it. 1t is confidently stated by
some who ought to know that a careful
poll has already been made Of the Fifty
fourth congress. and that Mr.. Cleveland
is perfectly satisfied with the results as
to the house. but does not like the looks
of the senate The opinion steadily
grows that if this house does not pass a
comprehensive currency bill Mr. Cleve-
lard viii at once call the next in spe-
cial session, and some who are near him,
as the phrase goes, confidently predict
it. The trouble is that others equally
near him just as positively deny it. Tt
is a pleasure TO record that men Of all
parties. from Tom Reed to Lafe Pence,
and from Burrows of Michigan to Tai
bert Of South Carolina, agree on one
point-that the country cannot 60 on
as it is now going many months longer.
All agree that something must be done
soon, and nearly all concede that the
