LAMB AND POLITICAL ISSUES.
A Modified Dingley Dlli-ColIeSe, Lo-
comOtive-WOrLs, sc.

Congressman John LAMB has been rest
ing for d few days at his home. He was
in the city yesterday exchanging greet
ings with his numerous friends.
Captain Lamb thinks the Dingiey bill
will be altered in many respects before II
is passed by the Senate, and that many
Of its Objectionable features will be elimi-
mated. The general belief IS that the re-
troactive part of the bill will not be
passed. Ii was repeatedly charged While
the bill was before the House that Il had
been framed IN the interest OF the larger
manufacturers OF the East, and the
charge. he thought, had never been salts
factorily refuted. The Democrats, he
said. are divided on the question. a ma
iority being IN favor Of tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection. \ few cotton
planters are asking for protection against
the importation OF the South sea Island
product
The Congressman expresses the belief
that principal issues In the future Will
be economical and financial, and that the
old fight of 1881 will have TO be fought
over on the banking question until the
present system is changed.
The outlook for the passage of the
Richmond College bill and the LOcomo-
tive Works bill is bright. The senator's
from Virginia VIII work hard TO get them
through the Senate, and IL is hoped that
committees will be appointed I'm the
House so that the congressman can get
TO work
