WASHINGTON. D. G. August

WASHINGTON, D. G., August IL
"Will the Republicans reorganize the
Senate in Decembcr?" was the point
blank question put to a Republican
Senator to-day.
"You ask me hard question, said
he. "As yet | don't believe anybody
knows what will be done. OF course,
I'd like to see a reorganization. Like
every other party man / desire to see
my party control matters, and | am as
willing a mortal as ever was to get
my quota Of patronage. 1t is very
desirable to have both houses aud
throw the onus Of vetoing legislation
on Mr.. Cleveland But the prospect
is full of uncertainties. The Repub-
icans can't organize as matters now
stand without dicker with the Popu.
lists. Speaking for myself, Id prefer
to let the Democrats hold on rather
than an alliance with the Populists.
A good deal depends on the outcome
10 the Delaware contest and also the
result in Utah. If we seat the Della
ware man, Col Dupont, and if the
Republicans elect two United States
Senator's in Utah then we will be in
shape to effect reorganization with
out embarrassment. Frankly, there
appears to be some doubt about Utah.
The Republicans ought to succeed out
there, but there is host Of candidates.
and in the hot rivalry likely to ensue
had blood may be engendered. and 50
the opposition may carry off the
victory"
81 do not think there is possibility
of division of the places between the
Democrats and Republicans by the
former conceding several of the i'm.
portant committees and few Offices.
The Republicans would not care to
have any responsibility unless they
controlled absolutely.

Charleston Evening Mail.
Governor McCorklc knows now
what it is to run the gauntlet of the
industrious and argus eyed street
drummer for the clothing stores Of
this city who employ them.
-terdaY afternoon the chief ex.
ecutive was passing along Capitol
Street, with his hands stuffed in his
breeches pockets, evidently deeply
interested in some proposition Of
State Importance, for he was oDlib-
vious of all surroundings. Sudden =
ly he was plucked at the elbow, ,and
looking up saw Il smart looking fcl.
low, who at once accosted him with:
"Hello. friend, just got in?"
Instinctively the Governor re-
sponded. eyes. just got in"
"Well, Of course you are going to
buy some clothing" the puller then
began, land / represent the best
house in the city. If you come
right in with me we can fix you up
cheaper than anyone else"
The Governor began to realize
that he had been taken for q coun-
tryman and he said :
"Do look like / needed cloth
iDg?"
The puller assured him that he
needed them badly and produced
another choice selection of adjec-
tives In favor Of his house, wher-
upon the chief executive inquired !:
Gould you sell me suit of
clothes on credit?"
The fellow looked at him from
head to foot for y momont, shook
his head, and said:
"No, we couldn't credit you, but
we can sell you a suit so cheap you
wouldn't ask fo- credit"
Just then Congressman Huling
came along and when the Governor
suggested TO the puller that there
was a fellow that looked about as
much in need Of clothes as he did,
he took tumble TO himself and slid
inside, and when the clerks found
out he had been trying to "pull"
the Governor they "rolled" him all
over the store.

1890, to 13l millions in 1894.
True, the last year was one of vide.
spread depression, and great allow
ance must be made for that fact in
any comparison.
The new bill began under the
shadow of that depression. Only
of recent months has there been a
feeling of financial security in the
country at large. but the close of
the fiscal year saw an improvement
of more than 20 millions in our
custom receipts. and the revenues
for July and August promise a
still larger increase for the present
year.
REVENUE WILL RE ADEQUATE.
Indeed, the temporary insult.
ticiency Of revenue for the present
current expenditures is to be found
in the receipts from internal reve-
nue aud not in those from the tariff.
And yet the law of August last,
while removing and greatly reduc.
ing tariff taxes, increased internal
revenue taxes.
The shrinkage in internal rev.
enue receipts. Notwithstanding the
addition of twenty cents gallon
on whisky, is believed by Treasury
officials to be a thing of the past,
and they confidently predict the
rapid and permanent recovery of
this item of our national income.
As soon as that occurs there will be
no trouble about Treasury receipts.
aud il for while they enforce rigid
economy ia public expenditures, so
much the better for the taxpayers
and for the Government.
In conclusion | will say that
tariff reform. although wounded in
the house Of its alleged friends, is
triumphantly justified by its re-
suits.
Those results are lightened taxes,
cheaper necessaries of life, quick
ened employment and increased
wages for labor, widening markets
and the promise of adequate rev.
enue.
The country has bid last faro
well TO McKinleylsm. The day Of
"mad protection" is over.
