TIE bound Senate, the moss. covered Senate, has determined to stick 10 it's old fogyism. It was proposed to change the rules of that ancient body so that it might be as certained, after q month or six weeks, whether it be desirable te proceed with debate or to take I trial vote on the pending measure. In caucus a majority of the Demo crats, led by German and the other mis-called conservatives, de feated this proposition and made q program shutting out the tariff amendments and specifying the sub jects to which legislation must be limited for the session. This pro tects the sugar trust and puts a quietus on free coal and iron. Ii now becomes doubtful whether any. thing of consequence will be done, outside of the appropriations and perhaps an act to territorialize the Indian country It is certain that agitation of the question relative to electing U. s. Senators by vote of the people of the States respectively will now receive new impetus. Fresh blood is greatly needed in Congress, especially the upper branch.

WE note the applause with which ex-Czar Reeds entrance into the House at Washington is uniformly greeted from the galleries every day and wonder how long the glamour of his present glory will endure. Now, he towers above all the leaders of the Republican party, including Sherman, Cullom and the rest; and it is more than likely this prominence will finger until after he re-ascends the Speakers chair, March 1, 1895 It is assumed he will not dare refuse this place, but whether he does or not the effulgence of his crown will wane from that moment. Only be cause he acted like an autocrat in forcing the Mckinley bill through has he any real foundation for the favor in which he stands with his party. But he can never be of like service again. There will never be another Mckinley bill, and there are many influential Republicans who want no more of Mckinley, or of Reed, either He will be nothing but a parliamentary schoolmaster -an apotheosized gavel. Like, as Phillips wrote of Napoleon, he will Sit upon his throne, sceptred m onarch, dressed in the solitude of his own originality" Reeds future is all behind him.

SnMr If the Kolhites are af

SOME of the Kolbites are afraid and the others dare not to make good their threats of seating the "Claimant" in the Alabama execu- tive chair. The Populist faction has compromised on a plan to wait and see what the legislature is going to do. Since the legal governor himself recommends the passage of fair contest law, and such a one will certainly be passed, the popu- list foundation seems likely to un- dergo a washout. The Kolb corn stalk insurrection doesn't amount to nhucks.
