THE POLITICIAN.

Senator 'Aldrich deserves the thanks
of the party and of the country tor his
promptness in exposing the motive Of
Senator Allen in moving shat the Ding
ley bill be taken up by the Senate, a
motion that was adopted. Mr.. Aid
rich compelled the populist Senator
from Nebraska to admit that he would
not vote for the Dingley bill as it pass
ed the House, an admission which he
tried to qualify by adding that the bill
could be amended so that it would re-
ceive his vote and that of other Seua-
tors who are not republicans The
same could be said of any bill but
after it was so amended it would be a
long ways from pleasing to republicans,
Mr.. Aliens motive was to make mis-
chief, by making it appear to the coun-
try that tariff legislation could be had
at this session if the republican Sena-
tors desired it; and he knew when he
made the motion that the Dinglcy bill
as it now stands does not contain line
relating to the tariff, an amendment
having been at the last session adopted
providing for the free coinage Of silver
and striking out the whole bill, except
ing the enacting clause that was
passed by the House This is probably
just a taste of what the republican
Senator'S helpless because of lack Of 4
majority will have to contend with
during this session of Congress.
The wisdom of the caucus Of republi-
can Senators in deciding not to attempt
to make programme Tor the session,
and in leaving everything to the discre-
tion of the steering committee, is al
ready apparent. There is no use of
having programme unless you also
have the power to carry it out. The
steering committee, composed of Sena-
tors Aldrich, Allison, Hale, Mcmillan,
Cullom, Perkins Quay, Davis, Hans
brough and Shoup, has the confidence
of the party and may be depended upon
to accomplish all that can be accomp-
lished under the circumstances, which
at best is not likely to be much.
Although the six boiling republican
Senators-Teller, Pettigrew, Dubois,
Cannon, Squire and Mantle-declined
to avail themselves Of the invitation to
attend the caucus OF republican Sena-
tors, four out of the FIVE who are in
Washington-Mr. Teller hasn't arrived
have declared themselves to still be
republicans upon everything except
the silver question. Senator Dubois
says he is out Of the republican party
for good and ALL and announces in ad-
vance that he would vote against the
Dingley bill if it were brought 10 q
vote, and intimates rather strongly
tina. he would vote against anything
that originates on the republican side
of the Senate. IL is believed that Mr..
Dubois is playing to the prejudices of
the auti-repubican members Of the
Idaho legislature, in order to save him
self from being retired to private life.
The republican House IS keeping up
the record it made at the last session as
u business body. 1t has already passed
the Pension appropriation bill, bill
allowing the use of private postal cards
with one cent stamps used on them, a
bill providing for limited indemnity
of $40 for the loss of registered mail
matter, bill authorizing private let
ter carriers in villages where there is
no free delivery, and number of minor

Speaker Reed aud Chairman Hanna
met for the first time, in the Speakers
private office at the Capitol, this week,
and very cordial meeting it was on
both sides, according to the six or eight
prominent republicans who were pres
ent Mr.. Hanna has made many new
friends during his short stay in Wash
inrton, and some of those who made
his acquain tance have a very different
idea of the kind of man he is than they
had before coming in contact with him.
Although it is the general opinion Of
those who have talked with Mr.. Hanna
that he will not be member of the
ca binet. he expressed such n liking for
Washington that some think he will
be unable to stand the temptation of a
four years residence in the city.
No grass has heen allowed to grow
on the Inauguration preparations. On
Monday Chairman Hanna appointed
Mr. c. j. Bell chairman of the commit
tee, and the committee is now estao-
lished in it's headquarters (Which, by
the way, is in the same building in
which rooms have been secured for the
permanent headquarters of the Repub-
lican National Commttee). all the
chairmen of the subcommittee have
been named, and the machinery put in
motion that is going to result in our
greatest Inauguration. There is so
much opposition in Congress to having
the inaugural ball in the new Library
building that the idea will probably be
abandoned and the ball be held in the
Pension building.

vention of the order would be held on
the third Tuesday of July, 1897, in this
City.
Another measure adopted was that the
per capita for next year would not e1-
