WASHINGTON, Feb. %. = The
Western Republican members bid
fair to get very little out OF the or
ganization of the next house unless
a break is made in the slate that has
been fixed up between Reed ana
QUAY and PIatt, of New York. BY
the terms of this deal Mcdowell, of
Pennsylvania, plant tool OF quay
is to be made chief clerk, While
Platt man is to be made doorkeeper,
Reed. of course, to be the speaker.
For this combination the solid New
York and Pennsylvania delegations
are to be swung with nearly half
enough votes to control the Repuo-
Iican caucus. To show the true
Platt-Quay method of working the
facts of this deal need only be stated.
Ever since the commencement OF
the present session the leaders or
this combination have been at work.
All the offices and places within the
Gift Of the house have been tabulat-
ed. with their salaries, by COM
n,ittee. It appears that there are
about $50 places. or enough TO give
each member Of the majority Of the
Republican caucus one place, pay
ing from Leo up 10 the salary Of
The clerk. which is equal 10 that OF
: member. Starting with the New
York and Pennsylvania delegations.
This committee has gone 70 the vari-
C-,s delegations and offered price
fur their Solid support When
maturity II : dozen Of the Repub-
l5Caa members Of the next house has
been secured the books will be closed
and the minority shut out.
THE WEST IGNORED.
The fact that Gen. Henderson. of
Illinois. a gallant soldier, who has
been a member of the house for
many years, is a candidate for chief
clerk has not prevented Western
members of the next house entering
this combination and sacrificing
their section of the country and a
good man for one of the Quay-Pldtt
creatures, such as is Mcdowell.
Congressman Tawney, of the First
Minnesota, is the agent Of the COM
bine for Minnesota, and doing his
level best to bring his colleagues
into line for it. They are each to
have some petty appointment, of
course, in his promises, while he
will carry off the lions share. In
this list of the patronage no allow
ance has been made for Democratic
or Republican old soldiers, and the
result will be that q large number
of the members who are being prom

Minneapolis, will not be among the

ONE-IDEA PARTY.
Silverites Hopeful of Organizing
on :. RimetaIIist Platform.


on a BimetaIIist Platform.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-It is un-
derstood that the advocates of the free
coinage of silver from different parts
of the country who have been in ses-
sion in Washington for the past sew
eral days, under the auspices of the
bimetallist league, have progressed so
far with their labors as to feel fairly
confident that they will be able to
organize a new party, which will COM
mand the support of the silver men
throughout the country. A platform
has been agreed upon which plants
the whole party on the plank of free
silver, eliminating all the other de-
mands of the Populist platform of
1892. 1t is impossible, however, to OBJ
tain particulars, as all those in at
tendance upon the conference are
pledged to absolute secrecy.
It is understood that Gen. Weaver is
the principal mover in this effort to
secure the union of the silver forces
and the dissolution of the old parties,
and it is stated that he has the CO.
operation of Gen. A. J. Warner and the
sympathy of Representative Bland.

least over the threats made by
Buffalo to stop the use of New York
canals for corporations of other states.
They say the canals are highways just
the same as the roads, and that the
state has no right to prescribe their
use in favor of certain persons. 1t is

unfavorable to the prisoner. She had
held the very life Of the army in her
hands. Had she got through the lines
with these two oiphers and their inter.
pretations she would have supplied the
enemy with such information as would
put al ond to all uncertainty and insure
an attack on the Army Of the Cumber-
land before it could be concentrated or
supported by other troops. This would
have resulted i'll its annihilation.
There was really no defense to make,
and tho defending counsel simply placed
his client Oh the mercy of the court,
hoping that, boing woman, death
might not be the penalty. The room
was cleared and the verdict considered.
The court were not long in oonvioting
the accused Of being a spy and amena-

the punishment there was great d.

MERCHANTS ANDCRAFr GUILDS
A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In

Sort OF Trndcs Union That Existed In
tho Twelfth Century.
During the twelfth century merchant
guilds arose IN all the towns of impor-
tancc In England, and in the next con-
tury further development Of town
life took place in the rise Of craft guilds.
These associations were composed Of
tho artisans engaged in a ccr-
tain industry in Il particular
town. by tho growth of popula-
! tion, 1T Is evident that when the
merchant guilds had attained their
first century there would be n consid-
cradle number of persons dwelling in
tho town who would not be cligblo to
membership of the guild either as land
holders or as tho heirs Of guildsmcn.
Many Of these would be skilled in some
pursuit or calling; and naturally they
| would adopt the best means of secur-
! ing their rights and protecting their in
terests by taking common action against
tho rest of the community.
The earliest craft guilds were those
OF the wcavcrs and fullcrs of woolen
cloth, says n writer in the Westminster
Review. The guild Of bakers is nearly
rs old, and that Of the leather drcsscrs,
or corvcsnrs, dates from about the Same
period. At first there was n strugrle
between the merchant guilds and tho
craft guilds, as the ono body naturally
strove to retain it's monopoly Of tho
government Of the town and the other
endenvored to share in its municipal
privileges. But tho circumstances Of
tho time were such as to quick
ly unite tho two bodies in II COM
mon resistance to the tyranny Of
tho sovereign power, or OF tho great
fcudal lords. In turn, the monarch
found it good policy to foster tho towns,

wealth, and so of acquiring source Of
revenue for himself, rs well rs Of bring

idly. "Why don't you leave it where it
is?"
The salesman, says New York cx-
change, uttered IL queer little laugh
and said:
"It Is evident that you were never in
tho furniture business, or you would
not ask that question. If 1 should

ut illustrates Il universal weakness of
human nature," laughed tho salesman.
Everybody wants what he can't get,
and there is nothing quite SO attractive
TO the average buyer as piece of fur
nituro that somebody clso has bought
before he came around. If l left that
bedroom set out marked sold half q
dozen persons would say before night
thntl was exactly the SGT they wanted,
and when they heard there were no

So arises one Of tho tricks of tho
trade. When dealer sells picco of
furniture of which lie has no duplicates
he hustles it out Of the salcSr0Om as
quickly rs he can, lest il lose him other
