 tFrom our Regular correspondent.) WAsHINGToN, Nov. 13, 1896. | Whether the republicans will decide
 10 attempt to put the Dingley smergen
 cy tariff bill, which was passed by the | house at the last session of congress, I through the senate at the coming session, or will wait until the Fifty-ffth congress meets and then pass . general tariff bill is question yet to bs decided and circumstances will probably make the decision. If the repu olicans are to control the senate after the 4th of March the chances would be against the psss- ing of the Dingley bill ct the coming session, as that bili is only intended to be in effect two years from the date it becomes law, and while 1t ie an sxcell. ent mergency measure and would serve the purpose for which 1t was intended to brDg the revenues of the govern men up to its expenditures-it is not what most of the repu ublicans would deeire as a permanent law. If the repL blicsne are not to control the senate after the 4th of March 1t is probable that the Dingiey bill will be pushed, ss whatever else may be done It IS absolutely neces. sary that the revenue of the country be increased, for one of the certainties of the near future ie that DO bonds will be issued oy the Mckinley ministrat,on.
 The opposition are doing more worry. ing over tne probable makeup of Presi- deut McKinley's cabinet than the 70. pu ublcsns are. Rspu blicans know that Maj. McKinley's wide experience in con. gress aud his extensive scquaintance with members of the party n a,, sactions of the country make it we'll ,Sieh imIoe. sibie for him to make ssay mistskes ir selecting bic SSeehlnet, consequently tn. ' are peS.ectly satis lied with the outlo. k an9there is DO doubt that they will te equally we'll satisfied with the cabinet when it is announced. The party ha- so many available men that Mai. Mo- kinley's greatest difficulty will be to decide which of them he shall honor with cabinet portfolios. Men who have talked with him within the week say that be has as yet given the matter no serious consideration. There is plenty of time to decide upos the personnel of his HdminIetrg tion.

Worst, of North Dakota, wh' is also president of the Agricultural College at Fargo, was in WaehinstCp this week to attend the meeting of the National Associstion of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stutious He says the republican msjo- rity in his state was about 2,0OO above expectations. Speaking of the meeting of the legislature. in January next, to elect successor to Senator Hans brouRh, Mir. Woret said that the Senator's re- election would be antsRonized, although 70 other avowed candidate is yet in the field, and that he would Rot attempt to say whether Mr. Hansbrough would succeed himself, but was absolutely certain that the man elected to the senate will be a repu blican.
 The absurdity of tbe goesip alleging that gold democrat would be in vited to become a mem ber of Presd en t.elect Nc. Kinley's cabipet has become 60 apparent that 1t has been dropped. and the Ros slppers have come dowr to the common sense end probs ble bass of say ing that several gold democrats of prominence will be given judicial and diplomatic positions under the coming republican administration. That will be all right and DO repub blican will raiee any objec. tions to the bestowal of such bopors 10 payment for the work and votes of the gold democrats. but pace in the csbi- ret would be a horse of another color en. tIrely.
 Tee agreement of Great Britain to ar
 
 pute much more than triumE b of the principles of peace. It is an ofiiclSl ac. Acknowledgement of the correctness of the Monroe doctrine as laid down and main. tained by every president of the United States eiDcs Monroe, and when this so- kpow!edgement comes from the greatest European pows- it makes it practically certain that the Monroe doctrine. which we were told not loLg ago by English authorities had DO status as information. al law, will in the future te recognized

While few Americans ever had the slightest doubt of the binding nature of the Monroe doctrine, because of their knowledge thnt behind it was 8 possible army of 10 GOO, GOO of the best fighting men the world ever sa~, it is far better to have obtained its recognition through tbe pescesble channels of diplomacy than al the cauneCs mouth. -.

 Senator Butler. cb bairman of tbe pop ulist national committee continues to nag the democrats by means ot news- paper interviews. He either thinks or preteuds to think that the populists will absorb all the silver democrats before another D stional campaign is opened. In his latest interview he says the denocrs. tic party IS bigger today than it will be RI the opening of the next campaign end thst the peoples party will continue to grow bigger every dey; and, while he d. oesn't say SO. there is no doubt that be regards himself ss the biggest populist |
