MEETING OF CONGRESS-.
Several New Candidates for House Jobs
Tom Reed Arrives.

Several New Candidates for House Jobs
Tom Reed Arrives.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The arrival
of a number of Senators and members,
including ex-Speaker Reed, has served
to increase discussion over the reor-
ganization of the two houses of Con-
gress, and the prospect now is that
this will be the uppermost question in
Congressional circles until the House
contest is settled and It is decided
whether the Senate will reorganize.
The fact that the speakership is
universally conceded to Mr.. Reed has
had the effect of concentrating inter
est in the other elective offices, and it
appears probable that the elimination
of the speakership will not diminish
the general concern over the result.
General Henderson and Mr.. Nc
Dowel1 are still the only two candi-
dates for the house clerkship, and it is
not believed any dark horse candidates
will develop between this time and
next Saturday, when the house caucus
will be held. MIR. McDowells friends
are boldly claiming that they are sure
of majority, but the Henderson men,
instead of conceding this assert that
McDowells vote will be fifteen or
twenty S4OTb Oh TO nominate.
There is a possibility of a change in
the contest for sergeant-at-arms, but
the rumors in that connection are too
vague to base statement on. A Mr..
| Baker, of Kentucky has announced
himself as a candidate for this Office
within the past day or two.
There are now three candidates for
doorkeeper: Upton of Tennessee,
Fortune of North Carolina and Adams
of Maryland. The names of Mr.. Fair
less of Virginia and William Catlett of
West Virginia have also been added to
the list of candidates for postmaster.
The Southern Republicans have an
nounced their intention of holding a
caucus for the purpose of agreeing
upon candidates whom they can sup
port as body. There are twenty
three Republican members from this
section, not including those from Mis-
SOuri

Many Want to Be Healed.

ATcHIsoN. Kan, Nov. 26.-The dis
patches about H. E. Wentworth, the
Atchison healer, have brought the
poor fagman a notcriety, which in all
his 80 odd. years he never dreamed
would be his. Letters are pouring in
upon him in such quantities that now
his daily mail is greater than that of
any man or firm in the city. Yester-
day at 10 o'clock there was a record of
235 letters and the heavy mails of the
day had not yet arrived. These letters
come from everywhere, and from peo-
pie with every imaginable ailment,
and all asking for the influence of the
wonderful power of the magical

WOOL IN 1894.

During the recent campaign THE Re-
PUBLICAN frequently had occasion to
call attention to the iniquitous policy
OF the Democratic administration to-
wards the wool industry. What we
said at the time was true then and is
true now.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin of
December 30 contains number of ar
t1cles on the wool market which are
very interesting and that at the same
time show the terribly distressing effect
of the new tariff policy Upon American
wool interests.
It says: The year 1898 was the
most fearful ever witnessed in the his
tory of the American trade" It was in
that year that the threat OF free trade
assaulted the wool market, and in the
face OF thas threat prices fell until they
reached figure almost as low as that
seen just before the new tariff law was
enacted. The year just gone was one of
alternating hope and discou-agement
Whenever it seemed doubtful that the
tariff would be removed the market i'm
proved, only to break again when cir
cumstances indicated that the wool pro-
visions of the Wilson bill would become
a law. Thus the months passed, until
finally the bill was enacted and then
wool took another slump.
The effect o. free wool has been al
most to ruin the business of wool grow
ing in this country. The only ray of
consolation which western wool grow
ers have is the fact that it has been
shown that con even rates, the ordi-
nary American fine wool of the Texas
Territory, Oregon order is preferred to
foreign wool, and that the result OF free
wool of such varieties is a reduction OF
price to the foreign level, but not a
substitution to any extent" We have

THE NATIONS HOPE.

To the Republicans in congress,
minority, and yet with a tremendous
majority of the people behind them, is
intrusted an unwritten and undefna-
BILE but yet exceedingly grave RESPONSE
bility as to national legislation. 1t is
their business, in the good old Roman
phrase, to see that the republic takes
no detriment.
There is not any personal friendship.
nor any personal ambition, not any
partisan hope or fear, which they can
suffer to stand in the way of that duty
for moment. First of all, they must
rescue the country which has trusted
them. If negative action only is posi-
BILE, they are bound to make certain of
the defeat OF any harmful measure.
But if the door is open to them for any
affirmative and useful action, they are
equally bound to rescue the country
from its misfortunes as far as they pos
sibly can.
Within a week or two it will appear
that they have some affirmative power.
When Democratic incapacity breaks
down completely, it will remain with
RenI1 hlican leaders to saw what shall
be done. When the time comes, if at
all, they will need to be ready at an in
stant's notice to put Republican princi-
pies into force just as far as they can =
and advise the president that in doing
so they ere commissioned and en-
powered by the people of the United
States.

EVEN CONGRESS has been forced to
take notice of the outrages perpetrated
by the Pullman company, and it is
high time that legislatures of the states
and territories should take hand in
the matter. A Washington Telegram is
as follows:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Pullman is girding up
his loins to fgh. to retain his sleeping car
rates at the present eXtortion. Sherman will
press his bill and Pullman is organizing for
of Representative Aldrich, of Chicago, who
will do all he can; not much, however. 1t is
understood that John F. Runnells, the attor-
ney of the Pullman Car company, will soon be

sherman, and will work in company with
Aldrich.

quoted from the Commercial Bulletin,
and presume that what it says in this
particular is correct, 1t may be possible
for the wool industry in the far west to
drag along painful existence. There
will be little or no profit in it, but it
may finger long enough to receive the
benefit which will come from restora-
ton of the duty OF the Republicans
when they return to power.
This destruction is the work Of Dem
ocrats, and what may be considered
one of the especially bad features of the
situation is that the authors of the ruin
are trying still by false arguments to
make people believe that no injury has
been wrought. There might be hope OF
an early return to better ways if the
Democrats would acknowledge their
error now that it has been demon
strated so clearly by the logic of facts.
But there is no such hope, and wool
growers will have to either 60 out OF
the business or be content with prac-
tically no profits at all until deliverance
is obtained through re-establishment Of
the tariff after the Republicans shall
have regained control.

There will be an anti P altman bill intro
duced and passed this winter. The members
propose to get even with the Pullman company
for raising its rates on tourist cars through
Kansas as soon as it was compelled by the
courts to pay its taxes in this state Topeka
Kan, } journal.
This is a matter that the legislature
of Arizona should look into. The Pull
man company pays no taxes in Arizona,
but it charges the people an extortion-
ate rate for the use of it's cars.

THE DANGEROUS, dishonest and in
every way Objectionable fee system in

spread attention. The Chicago Record
has the following in reference to the
subject:
Wherever the fee system has been tried it

fectual stop to to the practice which enables
public official to fix his own wages and pay
himself cut OF moneys belonging to the public.
