Wolcott, Of Colorado-were paired AS
there is no possibility that the substitute
can become a law the only interest attached
to the matter was the record made BY the
vote With the exception of Senator Cam.
eron, Of Penn all of the Republicans are
believed to have voted in accordance with
the views of a majority of their constitu-
ents.
The Democratic members of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs having re-
fused to agree to any resolution submitted
by the Republican members of that COM
mittee, the Republicans adopted, and, Of
course, the House viii also, a resolution
expressing the sense of the House that Am
bassador Bayard's un-American utterances
in recent speeches in Great Britain were
improper and that he be censured therefor.
If Bayard has any sense Of manhood left
he will resign when the House adopts that
resolution
Senator Pettigrew, of S. Dakota, some
times has a prophetic mood. While one of
them was on him he said 1.-The bond bill
will die in conference. The House will not
agree to the free coinage substitute of the
Senate, and all of the various compromises
that may be proposed will go into the waste
/ basket There is no common ground upon
which the Houses can meet. The revenue
bill will be reported from the Committee on
Finance without amendment, and will pass
the Senate in the same shape it passed the
House. 1t will then go to the President,
who will knock it in the head with his lit
tie veto and end financial legislation fol
this session We will then pass the ap-
preparation bills and go home before the
first of May,making the shortest long seS-
sion on record.
Speaker Reed has been presented with a
gaYel from Mr.. Blaine's birthplace, accom-.
panied by the following etter,which is self.
explanatory: THE wood for this gave
was taken out of the window frames Of
the Blaine house A living shrine is more
satisfactory than a dead one.a mans house
is more attractive than his grave. To SCI
the rooms in which he lived and talked, the
bed on which he slept, the chair and table
where he wrote, the very pen which his
living fingers guided-these very sights
bring the man before US and he lives again.
James 6. Blaine belongs to history Know.
/ ing the Hon. Thomas B Reed to be a
friend of the dead statesman, we send him
this gavel as a token of our esteem and re-
spect for him personally, and as our stand
ard bearer In 1896. We hope when taps of
this gavel shall call the House to order, it
will call before the members the form Of
Hon James G Blaine, whose words have
echoed through The chamber which now
knows his voice no more"
While there are many men in both
branches of Congress who are as much
opposed to Mr.. Cleveland policy as SEN
ator Tillman. of S c, is or can be, there
are few men in Congress who do not
openly condemn the BLACKBOARD language
which Tilman used to express his opposi.
ton. The Presidents position should pro-
tect him from personal abuse
The Union Republican Club. of Wash
ington, proposes to celebrate the fortieth
birthday of the Republican party by hold
ing a big mass meeting on the evening of
February 2znd. a large hall has been en-
gagged, and already the invitations of the
club have been accepted by a sufficient
number of Republicans of National reputa-
ton to make it certain that the celebration
will be the brilliant success'it deserves to
be.
If the Democratic members of the Senate
all follow the example of the Democrats of
the Election Committee, it will be left for
the Populists to decide whether Senator
Dupont, of Del shall get the seat to which
he was legally elected. The Election Com
mlttee has,by the vote of every Republican
member, reported il favor of Senator Du-
points right to the seat, but if the Demo-
Gratis all vote against him he will have to
get some Populist votes to get in. Neither
Senator Dupont nor his friends have any
doubt of his final success.
1t is said by some that the rtasOn some
of the Republican Senators oppose making
q change in the offices of Secretary and
Sergeantat-arms of the Senate is that they
control more patronage under the present
Democratic officials than they could hope
to retain under new ones An attempt is
to be made the last of this week to settle
the question at a caucus of Republican SEN
ators.
Senator German virtually acknowledged
the hopelessness of the Democratic cause
when he announced his intention to retire
from the Democratic National Committee
and all participation in National politics, in
order to fight for his own political life at
home. He knows that the Republicans of
Maryland will leave no stone unturned to
have him succeeded by a Republican, and
that he has no time to devote to National
forlorn hopes.
The little daughter of Mr.. Fred Webber,
Holland, Mass, had very bad cold and
cough which he had not been able to cure
with any thing. I gave him IS cent
bottle of Chawberlain's Cough Remedy. !
says W. P. Holden, merchant and post
master at West Brimfield, and the next
time I saw him he said It worked like a
charm This remedy is intended espec-
ally for accurate throat and lung diseases
such as colds, Group and whooping cough,
and it is famous for its cures. There is
no danger in giving it to children for it
