L, IS significant Of the general Opin-
ion as to how these contests VIII be
treated by Mr.. Reeds committee that
every seat contested is that of Dem
ocrat. and that not a single Democratic
contestant appears, although surely it
would be easy to make paper contests
Of the seats of many Republican mem
bers Of equal merit TO those that are
brought against Democrats elected by
all the way from 1000 to 10000 majority
Nearly all the contests are in Southern
States. and a great many Of them by
perpetual candidates Of the Republican
minority in hopeless Democratic dis
ricts who subs.st between Republican
Congresses on what they can get by be-

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
A Fortnight of Discussion on the Bond
and Tariff Bills Probable.


Washington. January 5.-The Senate
will not be in session on Monday, but it
is expected to resume the work of the
session in earnest on Tuesday. The
Finance Committee has promised TO re-
port both the bond bill and the revenue
tariff bill on that day, and it may be
reasonably expected that if this prom
Use is kept, the debate during the re-
mainder of the week and for some time
afterwards will be based upon these
bills.
The bond bill probably will be the
first Of the two measures to receive at
tention, and it is considered probable
that a fortnight may be devoted 10 its
consideration. The Republicans also
are hopeful of being able to dispose Of
the tariff bill in the same length Of
time. They have received assurances
from individual Democratic leaders
that they will not resort to dilatory tao
tics to prevent the early disposal of
either of the bills. This does not mean,
however, that they will not insist upon
a thorough debate upon them.
The House this week will settle down
to the routine work of the session.
Until Wednesday, however, the work
will not be we'll defined, as none of the
committees have reported bills and the
frs. three days will therefore be de-
voted to unanimous consent legislation
and such matters as may be brought
before the House. On Wednesday, or
at latest on Thursday, the pension APP
preparation bill will be reported ard its
consideration will be entered upon.
