SSJaily Democrat
From our retfutfcr sorrefvoodest,
WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan. list, 1SS8.
Representative Springer, backed by 14J
of hit colleagues, hat given the republican
Senate an opportunity of howing hew
lncere the great interest they are constant
ly expressing for the territories really Is
If they accept Mr. Springer's bill as passed
by the Houir, South Dakota with two Rep
resentatives and Montana with one will be
admitted as states by Presidential procla
mation just as soon a the voters accept the
constitutions already formed, and NrtW
Dakota, Washington and Nw Mexico
may be admitted by Congress as soen as
their constltutians are formed. If they re
ject this bill, they pstpon! for menthsthe
admission of any of the territories.
Senators Gorman, Vest, Vance and
others are vigorously combating the grow
ing sentiment among the democrats in th
House to accept the Senate tariff bill as
better than no legislation on the subject.
They argue that the Senate bill is mora
objectionable than the existing law, as It
increases the duties on articles In which
the masses are directly interested notably
iron.cotton and wool. They contend that
when the bill is referred to a conterenco
committee, the democratic conferees should
be instructed to take a firm stand in behalf
of the necessaries of life, and let the repub
licans take all the responsibilities of fram
ing a tariff bill to suit themselves in the
next Congress. The other side of the
question is represented by Representatives
Wilson, of West Virginia, and Catehlngs.
of Mississippi, who are of thff opinion that
the republicans would be greatly disap
pointed if the House should agree to tha
Senate bill, and for that reason they favor
doing so,as the measure contains some good
things and is therefore better than no bill.
They contend that as long as the republi
cans claim to have carried the election oa
their tariff ideas that they should be allow
ed to pass their bill. That this is the status
of the matter at this time. But those who
are in positions to know say that the Sen
ate bill will never be considered by the
House.
The old adage that "a house divided
against Itself will fall," is likely to prevent
the passage of a bill admitting Utah as a
state.nntwithstanding the fact that a demo
cratic caucus of '.he House has agreed to
pass it. Governor West, of Utah, is here
working hard to prevent the passage of
such a bill, and delegate Caine, of the same
territory , Is vigorously working in its favor.
Both being democrats, whs.', they have to
say en the subject Is carefully listened to
by their party associates.
An amendment giving a bounty of on
cent per pound on all sugar produced la
this country has been added to the Senate
tariff bill, but It required a vigorous us of
the party whips to bring the republican
Senators into line, and even then Isnator
Quay voted against it.
General J. C. Black, Commissioner of
Pensions, will, It Is thought, be appointed
Judge Advocate General of the Army, un
less It shall be shown that he is ineligible,
which Is claimed by some prominent men.
Senator Morgan has given "granny"
Blair another tongue lashing. Some peo
ple would get tired of such treatment, but
Senator Biair seems to thrive on it, indeed
he almost looks disappointed if he has any
thing to say and does not receive some
abuse. He often gets it from his own
party as well &s from democrats.
The active fight that Mr. Blaine is giv
ing McKlnlcy in his fight for the Speaker
shin is havlnir Its effect. His chances are
now regarded as best by close observers,
but If Blaine should get "turned down" by
Harrison it will cause a big tumble In Mc
Klnlcy stock.
There are nearly 350 nominations pend
ing before the Senate, the most of them
for postmasters. There Is no reason why
they should not be confirmed except that
the republicans want to keep the places for
Harrison to fill.
Tom Reed, of Maine, Is much discomfit
ed at the manner in which Blaine is un
dermining his strength In the Speakership
canvass. Blaine never forgets or forgives
an Injury, and nothing is too small for him
to undertake In order to get ven with
people.
On Saturday afternoon last.the President
and Mrs. Cleveland received a visit from
Vice-President and Mrs. Morton. The
latter have been in the city for several
days. They are stopping at the Norman
die, a new hotel In a fashlor.ab'.e quarter
the success of which was assured by Blaine
having taken up his winter residence there.
Advices just received at the state depart,
ment from Samoa Indicate that Germany
has got Into a rumpus with Uncle Sam that
will have to he apologized for or else a war
may follow. Secretary Bayard Is reticent
on the subject, preferring to await particu
lars in regard to the reported insult to the
American flag by German officers.
Mr. W. W. Dudley escapes Indictment
under the ruling of Judge Woods that the
bribery proposed in his letter.and for which
the funds were held In readiness, must be
proved to have been effected by the party
to whom his letter was addressed. This is
equivalent to a Scotch delivery "Guilty,
but not proven." Judge Woods reversed
himself by this ruling, and has made the
business of corrupting voters In Indiana a
very safe proceeding.
Having voted that the people shall pay a
bounty of one cent a pound to all manufacturers
of domestic sugar, and a tax of more than that
upon all imported sugar, and doubled the tax
on every dinner-pail, teapot and tin can, the
Republican Senators feel rather nervous abou t
the fate of their bill. The Democrats could
ask no better issue on which to go to the people
than that afforded by this monstrous measure

office in my life." Mr. Harrison will see it sur
