Speaker Reed will have lot OF unruly
colts ou his hands when the regular ses-
sion begins. 1t was comparatively easy
to control them In the tariff and the Cuban
questions with the committees not ap-
pointed and the pressure of patronage
bearing upon them. But while these meni-
ners have been looking out for the Admin
istration they have not been unmindrul
of their own future, and will expect the
Administration to ia vor them. Something
must be done TO let their constituents
know they are a part of Congress, and
this something viii consist OF combined
effort To loot the Treasury in the River
and Harbor bill and To secure appropria-
tions for public buildings. During the
last Congress Speaker Reed held the Com
mittee On Public Buildings by the throat
and prevented them from reporting any
of the measures referred to them. Ibe
poverty Of the Treasury and the made
quacy OF the Wilson bill TO yield sufficient
revenue was pleaded as an excuse FOR TINS
action. VIII Speaker Reed be able TO hold
the committee or the House in check At
the coming session?

the appearance of good crops, and what
the Republicans say is return or good

The Republicans of Ohio Will open their
campaign in several in Ohio on the 18th
of next month. Newark and Washington
Court Hogse have been agreed upon two
of the places. Senators Hanna and Foraker
and Ex-Governor and ex-Secretary Foster
viii speak, probably In Geauga county.
As everybody knows Senator Foraker is
not intensely enthusiastic over this cam
paign and his speech Will he awaited with
more than ordinary interest by the Re
publicans of Ohio. 1t will not be one of
those stirring appeals for which he is noted,
but replete with glittering and meaningless
platitudcF. Senator Foraker cannot in
dGrSe the Administration Cuban policy
nor viii ne euiogize the record of the
junior Senator who rs seeking re election.
The best he can do will be TO discuss the
benefits of the new tariff, the rise in wheat
AMI make an occasional reference TO the
fall in the price of silver. At Newark Gov.
Bushnell, Senator Burrows and ex-Cun-
gresham Morey of Ohio, will crate, white
at Washington Court House the irrepre Ssible
Gen. Gros-euor, Senator Thurston and
Lieut.. Gov. Jones of Ohio will sound their
keynotes. AT all these points the horny
handed sons of toll will be RECALLED with
stories of a boundless prosperity produced
by an Administration potent enough to
create famine and hunger and a demand
for wheat in foreign lands.
The times., 1897-08-30

Nothing that has happened in the Ohio
campaign up to date has created so much
OF sensation as the ringing letter OF
Col. A. l.. Conger, denouncing Senator
Hanna and urging all the friends of Senator
Foraker ard other Republicans to vote
and work for the defeat of Mark Hanna
Col. Conger has long been in Ohio politics
and has s:ood irreproachahle as O. citizen
and as a man. AS a result of his manly
stand for what he believes to be right
the Hanna crowd is making him the sub
iect of bitter personal attack and are
threatening him with punishment in n
business way.
Col. Conger's attitude illustrates the
breach between the two factions, a breach
that no amo unit of Cancellation on the part
of Senator Hanna can repair Instead
of endeavoring to bridge 1T over, it is
reported that Hanna viii inaugurate q war
of determination. He will first insist
that Gov. Bushnell demand the resignation
OF Col. Conger as q member OF his staff.
If that is done it can be pointed to as
proof tnat the Foraker faction does not
indorse what Col. Conger has done. and
the letter, therefore, will lose It's effect
Should Gov. Bushnell decline then the war
of determination will begin. II Hanna
can do il, he will force Bushnell off the
ticket, and If Bushnell will not off
theI. the fighti to be made openly by the
Hanna machine to defeat. him for re-elec.
ton, and in this unholy scheme the Presi-
dent is expected to play a part by using
the Fedora al patronage to or ushthe Foraker
ties and defeat Bushnell 1t matters
little to Hanna that he has fnaugurated
a campaign that promises to disrupt his
party.

KNOT1Y LEGAL PROBLEM
COURT DECIDES THAT DEPUTY
HITCHCOCK CAN PRACTICE.
Lawyer Humphreys Raises a Question
and Thinks lie Is Right-Attorney
General Smith Opposes.

Has Deputy Marshal Hitchcock
authority to practice before the bar of
the Police Court
Attorney 4. S. Humphreys says
"No."
Attorney General Smith says "Yes."
Judge De la Vergne decided this
knotty legal problem yesterday and as
far as his court is concerned, the judge
insists that the Deputy Marshal will
be entitled to full privileges.
The right of the Marshal or his dep
uties conducting the prosecution of
criminal cases in the Police Court is
raised every now and then by some
attorney of the bar. Yesterday after
noon, A. S. Humphreys, who was de-
Tending All Sing, charged with being
implicated in a che fa game, called a
halt in his case and insisted that Dep
uty Marshal Hitchcock had no right
to conduct the prosecution against his
client. He pointed to- the statutes,
which stated that no one shall be al
lowed to practice before the bar of the
Police Court unless he shall be
licensed.
Attorney General Smith was called.
He mentioned that Marshal Brown
was licensed lawyer, and had perfect
authority to designate Il deputy to
take his place in the Police Court He
stated that the statutes provide that
the Attorney General must appear in
all government cases, both civil and
criminal. The statutes were conflict
ing.
In former days there were district
attorneys. This law was abolished in
1892
