What They viii Not Do.

New York Times,
Mr.. Dingley's forecast of the work of
Congress at the approaching session is
remarkable for what he plainly thinks
will not be done.
We take it that he looks for no rev.
enue legislation. He says nothing Of
it, and he talks glibly of the Sufficient
revenue to meet all current expendi-
lures which I'VE shall hare in the
next fiscal year." We hars already
shown that there is no. reasonable
basis for such an expectation What
Mr.. Dingley means is, in plain Eng
llsh, to dodge the question of new
taxes until after the Congressional
elections of next year and meanwhile
run the government on the proceeds
of those loans of Mr.. Cleveland which
he was bitterly denounced for making.
With this plan in his mind, Of course
Mr.. Dingley has nothing to say about
economy. If we are fully able to meet
current expenditures" as big as they
now are, there's no need of cutting
them down. Indeed, the amount of the
borrowed money still on hand, with
the sum from the Union Pacific sale
added. is great enough to permit an
z.
clearly getting ready for another ex-
travagant session
With no new revenue and no econo-
MIXING, Mr. Dingley does not expect
any reform of the currency. He would
like to see some reform. He is not so
complacently wrong-headed as Mr..
Reed, who holds biandly to the view
that no reform is needed. But he
thinks the Senate blocks the way, and
is not inclined to any aggressive meas
ures either to force right action by
the Senate or as basis of appeal to
public opinion.
Doubtless Mr.. Dingley fairly ex-
presses the temper of the average
members of the majority party. The
administration, then, will have to
reckon with that temper The Presi-
dents responsibility is definite. con-
centrated, conspicuous. For what his
party does or fails to do he will be
held accountable unless he uses all
the power he possesses, all the influ-
ence he can legitimately exert. to
shape its course. That power and that
influence in the hands of a sagacious
and resolute President are great. Mr..
Mckinley has given some indications
that he has a just conception of the
needs of the country as to economy,
taxation, and especially currency re-
form. If he makes an open and firm
fight to get them satisfied, he will
whether he succeeds or not, save his
own reputation and do all that can be
done to save his party.

THE RIVAL FACTIONS.
Over in Ohio Are Pulling Strings at
Very Lively Rate---Belmont and
Jefferson County Men Who Are
Playing for Places.

Special to the Register.
Columbus, Ohio, December 5.-Hon.
John l. Means, of Steubenville, wants
to be the next speaker pro TEN of the
House and he stands good chance of
landing the prize. The leading oppo-
nent of Mr.. Means is Representative
John Griffith, of Union county, who is
Foraker man and whose one show for
the place is the backing he is receiving
from that element of the party. On
the other hand Means is backed by the
Hanna people and this element of the
party declare that no Foraker
man shall have the speakership pro
tenn. Representative Means was in the
city Saturday and said he was sure he
would land the prize. His candidacy
is being pushed by ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor J. G. Richards, of Steubenville,
who has spent much time in the Buck
eye capitol during the past week.
Means will win hands down il he is
not traded off by his friends to help
Hanna out, and there is rumor
among politicians that even this may
occur, as Hon. C. A. Leland, of Noble
county, is supposed to be engineering
such deal in the event that he cannot
persuade Means to withdraw in the
interests of harmony"
Mr.. Leland and Mr.. Griffith repre-
sent the extreme Foraker wing of
the party.
Mr. Boxwell, who is to be the next
speaker, and Mr.. Means are the Hanna
leaders.
One of the insiders said Saturday
evening that if the fight between the
Foraker and Hanna men became so
hot that Means was compelled to with
draw from the contest he would be
made chairman of the Committee on
Railroads and Telegraphs by his
friend Boxwell. G. J. Howard, of Bel
mont county, is to be chairman of the
Committee on Taxation, and Philip M.
Ashford, of Columbiana, chairman of
the Committee on Municipal Corpora
tors.

him about the matter on that occasion?.
Al couldn't say exactly; it was quite

Q.-Were you seeking to pursuade
him from his purpose? Al tried all
l could to persuade him that such ac-
tons were wrong.
Q.-What, If anything, did you say to

ton.

CONSIDER HIS WIFE
in the matter.
Mr.. Daily-We object to what Mrs.
Eastman said. (Overruled. Excep-
tion)
Q.-What did you say to her and
what reply did she make? Al said
nothing to her. 1 made my remark
to Bob in her presence, and she re-
marked that she was prepared for any
consequences that might come.
Q.-Was that the only remark made
Ny hCA ICo, Ell tIAt 10 A1y
recollection.
Q.-From what was said by Eastman
and Mrs. Eastman, had you any reason
to believe that this matter had been
discussed by them? Objection; sus-
tained)
Q.-Just repeat again what Mrs.
Eastman said? A-She said she was
prepared for the consequences that
may result from any trouble.
Q.-What did you understand from
Eastham's conversation what he in
tended to do? Objection. Question
withdrawn.)
Q.-Please state to the jury again
what Mr.. Eastman said he intended to
do? Ale said that he had been
having some difficulty with the Thomp-
sons, and that he had made up his
mind to settle the matter in different
ways.
en- what way? Al can't recol-
lect just what his words were. 1t was
practically that he was going to do
some bodily harm to them.

THE Chiffon SHORTAGE.

Parlxersburg Sentinel
Tho shortage in the accounts of ex-
Secretary Of State Will Chiffon keeps
the Republican organs Of the State dis
turbed almost to distraction. They
seem to think he is a criminal of the
Vilest degree, and every day some of
them are assailing the Governor be-
cause he does not start the judicial ma
chlnery after the delinquent.
Many years ago a Mr.. Burdett was
delinquent to the school fund of the
State for many thousands of dollars.
which, according to the report of
court commissioner, remains unpaid. 1t
was money received from the sale CT
forfeited and delinquent lands, aid
under the law the money belonged to
the education fund of the State. 1t
was the intention of the law that this
money should be devoted to the most
merltorlous of all public cares, but This
money was diverted from it's intended
purpose and applied to personal uses.
And the delinquent has never been ask
ed to settle. Republican papers seem
to think that such conduct on the part
Oh one OF their party oiiice-holders is
the proper thing. In fact, that any
other course would be the subject of
comment. From the blatherlng of the
papers over the Chiffon shortage. and
the comfort they seem to get out OF
Burdett's discrepancy, it is quite evil
dent that, II they were to discover an
honest Republican in office, they would
have an attack of heart failure.

Islam and the fruitful source of
dynaStic murders in almost every

only, as was lately alleged. This eld-
est brother is RcclIad Effendi; that is
to say, be is eldest after the eX-Sultan.
Murad V, who. being insane. is nos

din and the fourth Suliman. The Sui
tan's eldest son., Prince Selim, has no
earthly chance Of succeeding his faith,

uncleS' sons for that. But Prince
Selim is lucky. if he knows lit, for he
is not dangerous He lives a Lire of
freedom. whereas the heir is, by the
custom of the Ottomans, a kind of
life prisoner.
