In the House, it will be remember

there would be no partisan opposition
to the NGlass-Owen bill, In the final

for the bill. 1t is now tolerably man.
fest that in the senate this bit of

There is to be no obstruction, no
partisan play for fancied strategic ad-
vantage, no abuse or unreasonable
use of the opportunities afforded by
the unreformed rules of that body
to time-killing orators. This is
well. The currency bill can be prop

few weeks. Its passage before or
soon after January would amount
to a fine New Years gift to the in
