Daily Democrat from our reeuiar sorreipondent. VASH1NUT0N. Washington, Jan. 14th, iSSS. Evidently President Cleveland has no hard feelings towards Mr. Calvin S. Brice, who was the democratic manager in the recent disastrous campatgn,whatever some people mar say. Mr. and Mrs. Brice have been guests at the White House (or sev eral dv,and at Mrs. Cleveland's. brilliant reception Saturday afternoon, her first pub lie reception of the seuion.Mrs. Brice assist ed.' In order to stop Representative Weave from filibustering, Speaker Carlisle has agreed to recognize him to-day for the purpose of making a motion to suspend the rules and pass the Oklahoma bill. The motion it is expected will be met by filli busterlng on the part of the opponents of the bill. Mr. Carlisle's action in making a bargain with Mr. Weaver has been hardly criticised, but what else could be done Mr. Weaver had shown what he could do by blocking the Home for four entire days, and expressed his willingness to keep it up indefinitely. There was only one other way of stopping him ; that was to refuse to recognize him when he made a motlon.and that was a precedent which Mr, Carlisle considered entirely too dangerous to make now of all other times. The National Wool Growers Associa tion which was in session here last week, don't want the earth, although it must be confessed that they seemed to be willing to accept a large part thereof. Not satisfied with the protection given them by the Senate tariff bill, which is much greater than they need, ther prepared a wool schedule of their own, and appointed committee to present it to the Senate finance committee, with the modest request that it be incorporated in the tariff bill in place o: the present schedule. Thev will be left The Senate will consider the woo1, sched' ule this week, but It won't be the one fixed up by the wool growers. The election is now over. I understand that Representative Ander son, of Kansas, proposes to lead the filli busterlng against the Oklahoma bill. Senator Morgan is still after Canada with a sharp stick. He proposes to offer the following amendment to the Senate tariff bill this week : "All laws and parts of laws which exempt from the payment of duties any articles of commerce upon which duties are imposed in this act, when . in transit through the United States to, or from the Dominion of Canada, are hereby ' declared to be inoperative." There Is lit tie probability that the republicans will support this amendment, as it would prac tically be a portion of the legislation asked - for in Mr. Cleveland's celebrated retalia tion message. Senator Plumb struck the New England - brethren in a sore spot when he stated.in a short but vigorous speech on' the duty on fresh fish packed in ice, that New England was for either protect'on or free trade just as one or the other favored her own Inter ests. The Senator certainly had a good right to complain of the fresh fish schedule as it was ; it admitted fresh fish in their ordinary condition free, giving New Eng land the benefit of low prices ; a duty was placed on fresh fish packed for long dis tance transportation, thus making the peo ple of the interior pay large prices for them. The result of Mr. Plumb's remarks wa the adoption of an amendment making the duty en fresh fish of all kinds one half cent per pound. Secretary Whitney keenly feels the want Of enough war ships to look out for Amer. lean Interests just now. They are badly needed in Havtl, Samoa, and Central Amer ica. There la a general feeling that the rules governing the House of Representatives are entirely too complicated. Some rules are of course necessary to protect the rights f the minority, but there is no necessity or reason for having rules which enable one man to block all legislation whenever he mar feel disposed for an indefinite period, as Weaver did for four day last week. Such things as this will give the republi cans an excuse, when they control the House, for so changing the rules as to de prive the minority of all the rights to which they are entitled. The sudden spasm of enthusiasm on the part of Representative Weaver in favor of the Oklahoma bill, is thought to arise from his desire to be elected delegate to represent that territory In the House. Weaver ii a chronic pirant for office, and having been left out n the cold by his Iowa constitu ents, he probably wants to catch on some where else. Ex-Senator Mahone sent a delegation of Virginia republicans to Indianapolis last week, to urge his claims upon Harrison for a seat in the cabinet. He is a schemer from way hack, but the impression here is that Harrison knows htm too well to tnke him Into the cablno.. If coal should not go upon the free list there is no logic for exempting anything from taxa tion. It is a necessary of hfe, an essential to manufactures, to transporation and to com' merce. To tax the fuel of the people in the inter est of a few mine-owners and railway compan ies when the Government has $100,000,000 of surplus revenue is an abuse of the taxing pow er. We are glad that eleven Democrats in the Senate had the courage to stand up for untaxed coal. There were 7,572 suicides in France last year, of which 2, 168 are attributed to men'"' afflictions of different kinds, 1,228 to physical suffering, 975 to domestic troubles, 800 to drunkenness 483 to poverty, 305 to pecuniary difficulties, 202 to the desire to avoid imprison ment, 100 to the loss of employment, 89 to the fear of exposure, 56 to the loss of relatives, 25 to the dread of military service and 227 to jeal ousy and crossing in love. - . The most important fact broucht out by the debate over the Senate Tariff bill is that the Republican party is irredeemably pledged to the policy of high taxation. In view of the un compromising attitude of Republican Senators on the tariff question the impression that ex. treme protection views would be abandoned after the election is rapidly vanishing. The manufacturers propose to do some "fat-frying" now. - . . The New York World says more than a thousand manufacturers and over five hundred labor organizations in that State attribute the advance and maintenance of wages during the last five years "wholly to the organization of labor." These men know. They deal with a condition, not a theory; with facts, not guesses. Over 500,000 2 cent postage stamps are sold daily in the New York postoflice, while the amount of all stamps sold each day is over $20,-000. GOLDEN RULE BAZAAR.
