~ aSnlnSCOl, NOV. 1O.-W AeIu-
asr the Republicans decide to at
seanpt to put the Dingley emerg-
-sney tariff bill, which was passed
by the house at the last session OF
congress, through the senate at the
eoxning session, or wait until the
hffy-ffth congress meets and then
pass a general tariff bill is ques-
taoR yet TO be decided and clrcum-
stances will make the decision. If
the Republicans are to control the
She senate after the 4th of March
The chances would be against the
D7ngiey bill at the coming
-xesslon, as the bill is only intended
ao be al effect two years from the
date 1t becomes a law, and while it
Is AN excellent emergency measure
and would serve the purpose for
--wh1eh it was intended--tO bring
&HereVenues of the government up
hn5ts expenditures-it is not what
III ost Republicans would desire as a
yersnanept.law. If the Republi-
9aRs are not to control the senate
aFspr the 4th of March it is possible
-fEsat the Dingley bill will be pushed
as yhateyer else may be done it Is
absolutely necessary that the rev.
.s4sEe of the country of the country
se increased for one of the certain
tres Of the near future is that no
Bonds will be increased by the Me-
A1n1ey administration.
The opposition are doing more
worrying oyer the probable make
ap of President Mckinley S cabinet
s8isan the Republicans are. Repub-
8Icans know that Maj. McKinley's
vide experience in congress and
intensive acquaintance with mem
2aeB Of the party in all sections of
She country make it well nigh i'm
possible for him to make any mis-
3aEsss an selecting his cabinet, con-
zeusently the. are perfectly salts
ssied with the outlook and there is
a, donbt that they will be equally
7wrli satisfied with the cabinet
aAsn it is announced. The party
sas 80 many available men that
-adsj McKinley's greatest difficulty
7w5ll be to decide which of them he
SHALL homer with cabinet portfolios
Biea who have talked with him.
w3shm the week say that he has as
get given the matter no serious
sezsa sl3eration. There is plenty of
s3nse to decide upon the personnel
nj. his administration.
I1ient. Gov. Worst of North Da-
&ota, who is also president of the
agricultural college at Fargo, was !
in Washington this week to attend |
HE rlk.eting of he National Asso- !
as5atlsn of American Agricultural
ASol5t ges and Experiment stations.
He sEys the Republican majority in
stfES State was about 200O above eX-
gxs4st5ons. Speaking Of the meet
zzBg of the legislature, in January
aextS TO elect a successor to Sena-
zrtasr II ansbrough, Mr.. Worst said |
AhAt the senator's reelection would |
ae antagolized, although no other
aaEoved candidate is yetin the field |
sznG that he would not attempt to
sag VI neither Mr.. Hans brough would
z,Beae ed himself, but was absolutely
asEs$s4in that the man elected to the
senate will be Republican.
The absurdity of the gossip al
8egz7g that gold Democrat would
he aayited to become a member of
ErEsident-eIect McKinley's cabinet
haslbecome SO apparent that it has
Z3Nsen dropped and the gossippers
have come down to the common
zezse and probable basis of saying
kRaat several gold Democrats of
gEEasainence will be given judicial
=zaaa diplomatic positions under the
zzp4ning Republican administration.
That viii be all right and no Re-
pabliean viii raise any objections
&okhe bestowing of such honors in
Rlse payment for the work and votes
asf the gold Democrats, but a cabin
et position would be horse of an
esther color entirely.
