"All things coum to hlui who waits,"
has occurred to mo very often this week
us I noted tho cjiango in sentiment which
followed tlio reporting ot the .Mills turlll
bill to thu House) by Chairman Mills, who
left a sick bcdi.to perform, that duty.
A slight lnodllleatlou lu the bill lias
secured tlio stippoit of the Louisiana del
egation whuttvaro at tirst bitterly omiosed
to the bill. Another tight change in tho
clatiHO uircctitig.wointed lias won over tho
wool men fiotu Ohio nu elsowluuo, so
that the number of Democrats who opposo
tho measure has been reduced to u very
small number, and it is hoped to reduce
tlio number still further before tho bill
comes to a vote.
Notice haslieen given in tlio House
that the blll wiir bufultod up for action
on tho 17th Inst. An clfort will then Is)
made to hold tlio House-down to thu con

prepared, to. rotout on the tloor of tho
House cvwi'tlilnx which they did in tlio

lu tills way to dvleat it.
Tho, Democratic prolamine is to gut
tlio turltl' bill, disposed of before tho meet

sage oLthu bill havo largely increased re
cently, and wbllu it it by no means cur

tlian probable that it w ill. At any rate
the arguments over thu bill will place
this whole lAUcstion in u plainer light ho

owing to thu H'cullur rules uudw which

method on Wednesday, and succeeded In
keeping thu House hi session until 2;!!0
