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

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.
