was merely a form that was:
overlooked. It is a Deina
cratie disan rinent and it
must .ami wi'l be .set th-'d a
mong Democrats withoit
Uefuiiiliean irderferen-e. It
is not to aid in settling the
disagreements that the Re
publicans wish to attend the
eonfet'f n?e, but to try t-j pre
vent their being settled.
Just as soon as an agree
ment ean be reached that
will be ratified by the House
and Senate Congress can ad
journ, as the Senate, by an
unusual spurt, has passed
nine of the appropt iation
ills and has the other rive
in good shnpe to be passed
I his week. That will lesve
the decks clejw for action on
the conference report, on the
tariff bid, and everything
now points to adjournment
by the first of August. Th
only thing that ean upset
these calculations is the fail
ure of the conference to reach
an agreement that will be ac
cepted by both Senate and
House, and that, is not ac
cepted.
A strong effort is being
. . . .i vt: ...
made to get. me .Meni-amia
canal bill passed at this ses
sion of Congress, but it may
be crowded out. The House
Commerce committee is Irv
ing to get the committee on
Rules to set aside two or
three days for the discussion
of the canal bill, which Chair
man Wise, of the first named
committee considers one of
the most important oills
that has been before Con
gress for years. There are a
number of Democrats in the
House, who are on principle
opposed to thegovernment's
engaging in any such busi
ness as proposed by this bill,
and while they are not prob
ably numerous enough to
defeat the bill on a vote they
are numerous enough to pre
vent a vote being taken un
less a special rule is reported
limiting debate.
So many requests catnt (o
Sergeant-at-Arms Snow, o f
the i louse from editors and
politicians, asking whether
certain members have drawn
to the intellect of the bfiore
mentioned labor leaders if
this misunderstanding was
not intentional. Th law un
der which President Cleve
land ngre.-d to appoint two

commissioners t o act wuu
the United States Commis
sioner of Labor in making
an investigation, does t.ot
give him authority to ap
point arbitrators, except un
der conditions not existing
in this ease, and the commis
sion to be appointed will on

tuna it coin. I investigate a
strike of the farm hands of
John Sjdth. President Cleve
land will appoint this eom
uiisdon because he wishes to
secure authentic information
to be used as a basis for re
commendations he intends
to make on the subject in
his next annual niessanc to
Congress, lie recognizes it
as a subject that needs na
toiual legislation, not in the
interest of the corporations,
nor of the labor organiza
tions, but of the whole coun
try, which is incommoded
and in the end has to pay
the bills for the periodical
strikes.
Although there are reports
to the contrary there is no
reason to doubt that Presi
dent Cleveland will sign the
bill for theadmission of Utah
to statehood, which is now
in his hands.

The fact that members m
both Houses are more
anxious to adjourn for the
summer than they are to ful
fill the pledges of the party
is a serious obstacle in the
way of tariff reform. S j far

the prir.eiples which formed
a basis for the Wilson bill.
They have not receded a step
from the position first oecu
pied. Free raw maieiials,
they urge, are necessary to
any comprehensive and just
scheme of tariff reform. An
honest schedule is a ho, they
declare, essential if the party
is going to place itself in a
proper attitude oefore the
country. Because the House
conferees make this '.'oaten

This is resisted on theground
that while it is an apparent
ia -tease of 10 cents in the
tax, it will in fact yield the
government no additional
revenue.
The Hnue conferees are
w illing to grant anextension
of two years over the time
fixed by the House bill for

The chief features on which
the conferees have, it is repot
tea, come together are asfol-
ows: Pottery rates increased
5 per cent, making the rates
those of the House instead of
the Senate amendments.' the
Senate having reduced them,
tilassware comes downtothe
House rates, th? action in
this cape being the reverse of
that on pottery for reasons
hereafter stated. The cot
ton schedule has been - scaled
down about 5 percent from
the Senate rates. The wool-

brought down a considerable
per cent, making it more in
anordnnee with the House
rates. The tobacco schedule
has been brought back to
the House rate on the im
portant item of wrappers,
the rate being .1 instead of
the Senate ratesof $1.50 and

The income tax has not
yet been passed, butth-rw
little or no disagreement ex
