In the other case, the silver Senators arc to be placid on record so clearly and plainly ih it t ! i e entire country can phtce the blame ami place it fit once. Senator Cullom of Illinois, appreciates the .-i'u.ttion. He sees that the Republican p oly i- in a piettj bad rtx. It must help liie country, aud it has not control of tbe Senate. 1 1 the short session cannot pass a aaa-nre like the Dingley bill, he sees but little hope of a tariff bill being passed at the extra session. In a talk yesterday with a Time- representative, he said: 'I have cot talked much ubnit what will be done at the short Session. There stems to be a diversity ol opinion among he R publican Senators, and I thought .1 best t- wait until we had met and could have a ehancj to talk oyer the situation. Something must be done to meet th dili eicy in the Treasury. Oi that there is no doubt. Same of ns th nk that tht: election of McKinhyaul the restoration of conti dei c will boom tilings so much that enough revenue will be received to title us over our trouble and until the tarifl'of today f .n be revis-d. I do not know how this wiil !, but I hope it is the case. I want to see the tariff revisxl as it should be. "Iu the n.f a :i time I know that we ate running behind.

"Supposs neither the Dingh-y bill nor a revision of the tariff can be passed, what : hen, Setiatoi "Nothing but bnd issues," was the reply , ' and they will be suicidal.

But the shv.-teis are biiniiini; tlis- 1 grace on the profession and soim thmu has j got to be tlone. It has long beeu ihe idea i of many of ihe honorable patent lawyers to have a Patent Bar, with si net iu!es of practice to protect the inventors, and Something ol the kind will have to be done or Congress will Lave to be appealed to for legislation on the subject. Surut'ise was expressed .vhen it wa announced that Mr. Cleveland had bought a residence in rriuceton, N. J., as no whisper that any such thing was ou foot, hail preceded the aunounci ment. Ti t re is now a rumor said to have Im-u stai'nl by a member el The family of a pn.miikni official that President Cleveland will I c Come connected with the law faculty ol Princeton l uivcr-ity. It is said that tin whole thing was fixed up during the re cent visit of Prc-sidfcu. and Mis. Cleveland to rrinte'.on to attci.d the Coiltge celebra tion. The Senate chamber has been thorough ly overhauled since Congress adjourned, and cow looks much beiM' ihau it has looked since it was built, and unlets th sanitary engineers are oil' hi their calcu lations, it will be mors coiafoi'tab.e, ow in- j to apparatus for maintaining au even J temperature, and moie healthful betause it is constantly supplied vv ith pine, liedi air. Among the changes that are notice able to even the most casual ob-t-rver aie the handsonu opera chairs which have taken the place ol the oiel wot d benches iu ihe galleries, andthe unifoimity iu th Seuatoi 's chairs, no w all squar.; btcketi leather covered, with mahogany lrame. Hen i oldie it has been the custom ol each Senator lo exercise h s iudivi. uai taste in the selection of the chair he uss.l, without regard to vvbethet it pleated air body else or not, and the result was rather a mix ture. For ihe first lime both the Scuau and the House are iighietl by ekctriciiy. That is about all ihe improvement made hn the House chamber which now looks shabbier than ever eompaied with tbe Semite chamber. But the S'euu'.e al ways was incline I t be more luxuiiou. th;in the House and many ascribe it to ihe ditl'i rence iu the method of electing Rep resentatives aud Senators, the first having to give an account to iheir coi stitu nis every .wo years, ami the last only once in six yeais, il at ail. There are various reason ; which hive earned Ohio politics to occupy a hug' shaie of the political gossip iu Washing ton. Chairman Ilauna wants to go into ihe Senate, instead of into tbe Cabinet, according to gossip, and he is coming to offer Senator Sherman the Secretaryship of th'.' State in the McKinley Cabinet iu t xchange for bis seat iu the Senate, the uuderstauding being that (!ov. Bushuell a-i 1 1 appoint Mr. Ilanna to the vacancy at once if Senator Sherman will resign. Th pr ucipal obstacle to cirrying cut this plan is that Senator Shermati also prefers tht Senate to the Cabinet and that he hopes to be elected to another term in 1898. It is not thought that Senator Sherman will agree to Mr. Raima's prop ositian, unle-s he can be bulldizrd into doing so by being convinced that he can not be re-elected to the Senile, and whether he can or not is the question now agitating the Republican politicians, because upon it depends the make up ol the Cabinet. Mr. Shcrn-an says he knows I nothing about such a plan. FJeeing for Tjelr I.Ivcm. Cmipi'i.vva Falls, Wis , Decembvi- 1.
