Sherman, are preparing to discuss the

The only thing that is expected In
the House this week is the announce
ment of the committees by Speaker
Reed, and when that is made, adjourn
ment for the holidays is anticipated.
1t may be that the Committee on Rules
and Elections will be announced to-day.
The House at present is operating
under the rules of the Fifty first Con-
gress, and if the proposition to make
two OF three committees on elections,
which has been under consideration,
is to be carried out, a change in the
rules to that effect must first be made
and is looked for. Speaker Reed is
satisfied that such change will mate

and be a means of inducing q more

of the Supreme court today in the case
of Dennis Davis, charged with murder
and tried and sentenced in the United
States court for the western district of
Arkansas in which the defense had
been that of insanity. The court below
had instructed the jury that it was in
cumbent upon the defense to establish
the fact of insanity to secure acquittsl
on this charge, but this ruling was re.
Versed, the court laying down the prin-
ciple that the burden of proof of guilt
rests in all criminal cases upon the

on the Gold Combine.
WASHINGTON, December 16.-The
third week of the Senate will open with
that body no better equipped for the
transaction of business than on the
day Congress first assembled, though
it is more than probable that before
the week is over the caucus will have
agreed and the Senate committees will
have passed into the hands of the Re-
publicsns. If the suggestion of some
of the younger Senators is followed, it
is not improbable that this week may
find the Senate testing the strength of
the two parties over the subject of the
reorganization of the elective officers.
Thursday Mr.. Stewart introduced
resolution to direct the Finance COM
mittee to inquire what effect the differ
ence of exchange gold standard and
silver standard countries has upon the
agricultural and manufacturing indus
tries of the United States. To-day Mr..
Stewart made a vigorous assault on
the gold combine" In one respect
the Senator presented new phase Of
the subject with which his name has
been so much identified in Senate
speeches. He urged that the great de-
probation of silver gave the cheap
labor of Asia a tremendous advantage
in competing with the domestic pro-
ducts of the American market. Japan
in particular, he said, was profting by
this difference of so per cent. between
our money and that of Japan and
japanese merchants were to- day under
selling our home producers in many
lines Of goods. The only means Of
sverting this complete commercial su-
premacy of the Asistics was to place
gold and silver on an equal basis. Mr..
Stewart used severe language in ar
raigning the gold syndicate, declaring
that it controlled national conventions,
selected Presidents and directed the
affairs of the national administration.
During Mr.. Stewards speech Mr..
Matsu, Secretary of the Japanese Le-
CATION, was an attentive listener in the
diplomatic gallery.
An echo of Comptroller Bowler's
suspension of the sugar bounty pay
ments was heard in the resolution of
Mr.. Csffery, of Louisiana, calling on
the Treasury Department for the res.
SONS for the suspension.
To-day Senator PETER offered a reso.
luton calling on the Postofice Depart
ment for information as to its practice
of imposing fines upon employees; also
as to the restrictions placed on postal
employees against comforting with Sem
ators and members of the House re-
gsrding legislation. The resolution
was referred.

OF the redeemers, and II they are hon

before. The same can be said Of che
Orphans Home at Atchison, as the
PopulistS made no changes In the
officers at that place.
The report gives the expenses Of the
board to have been for the same period
In 1894 81, 1876, and for the present year
$2,9lS. In commenting on this state
ment let me quote from King David,
whom the Good Book reports as having
made the remark that sin my haste
said that all men were liars" and add
that IL he were living now and were
scqusinted with the average Kansas
redeemer he would not consider it
hssty assertion and would never have
qualified 1t by the language quoted,
The facts are that the Populist board
drew $2,s52.9O from the treasury dur
ing the four months mentioned, which
was S60.10 less than Mr.. Challlnor re-
ports the present board as having
drawn for the same period, and this IL
q sample Of the malicious, Contemptl.
bic lies emsnsting from this fresh i'm
portatiOn from England who Is paid
his salary by the taxpayers Of the State
and used by the present gang Of char
acter assassins to blacken the reputation
and impesch the honesty of citizens OF
Kansas, many Of whom risked their
lives on the field Of battle in defense
of their country's flag, while his imme-
dlate ancestor was in charge Of feet
of blockade runners In one Of the
southern hsIbors.
The report states that the redeemers
have left $29, 1886 of the appropriation
allotted to the quarter undrswn. We
have always understood that sppropri-
atoms were made for the entire fiscal
year, but If 1t is In order to divide the
sum into quarterly installments, we de-
sire to call the attention of the reader
to the fact that for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, the appropriation
for the charitable institutions amounts
to $449,O57, or an average of $37,42l.4l
per month, and for the year ending
June 30, 1895, 1t was 1885,, ,O49.5S, an
average Of $3O,087.46 per month, 81 d
when Mr.. Challinor reports the sum ~
S29, 1856 allotted to the quarter undrawn,
he should have informed as that this
sum only lacked 20 cents of bein& the
increased appropriation placed at the
disposal of the present board over the
amount under the control Of their pre-
decessOr. But that would have been q
true statement, and when he so far
forRets himself as to tell the truth, the
probabilities are his political head
would fall into the basket, so he Is
very careful not to place himself In
jeopardy.
At the close Of the fiscal year we pre-
dict that the Mail will not be 80 anx-
ious to make comparisons between the
expenditures Of the "redeemers" and
their predecessors. VERITAs.
