There are several important measures that should be attended to, but the house is wasting all the time. The question of the tariff is the most urgent one, and it looks as if no bill would sion.” Senator Allison: T ean't tell yet, It all depends upon what is done during the ba ance of the session. If none of the nec sary legislation is accomplishea and things &0 on as they are going now we will have to have an extra session. The next few wecks will tell.! yurth classed 808+ REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Dorsey, of Nebraska: “It seems to me + that there will be but a very small amount of the pressing business done during the re mainder of the present session, and the busincss interests of the country will carly action upon somewhat ' important subjects at the hands of the next congress. In view of the fact that the Fifty first congress will revive the tariff in some way, I think it is best to relieve the business ts of the suspense they will labor un- naving to wait a yeav or so to see be done in the regular course of congressional proceedings. T favor an ,extra session, if forno_other purpose, Lo organize the house and revise the tariff. Mr. Struble of Towa: *‘On the whole, and especially us the territorial question will' not be properly disposed of at this session, 1 re- gard it as adviseable and probable. Tho con- trol of the house may beat stake and the country demand ision of the revenuc laws.” General Henderson of Towa: “I think a cailed_session to n say October 1, would be desirable, and t one may be held. It f5 protty clear that pothing will be done at $his sgssion in regard to peusions, the tariff, “the territories, or other important’ measures, ©Our slim majority in the next house will not permit us to move rapidly, sud an extra ses- sion probably will be found necessary.

The actions of General Weaver have so (s gusted and impressed the members with this one-man power that thoy are determined . such leverages shall be “impossiblo in the mext house. Great care will be exer gised in the formation and adoption of the uext set of rules. it will not be pos- ible for one wan, or five men, or ten men, rany small per cent of the minority to band together and create o dcad-lock, or to any considerable extent impede the ‘progress of Iegmslation. There 1s too much important work to be done by the Fifty-first congress 0 permit anything of this kind., The pros- cts are that in the adoption of the rules hich will govern the next house, ono of the ‘greatost fights will arise which has over jecn known in congress. It is the intention of the democrats in the Fifty-first congress .to defeat cortain logislation contemplated by he republicans by filibustering tactics, hey intend to keep out of statehood certain gerritories, if possible, and defeat the pas- Bage of cortain features in the proposed tarift bill, and in the minority they can accom- plish their work only by filibustering. . TIE NEW RULES. ‘The republicans propose to leave out of the rules the customary clause which required o two-thirds voto to amend the rules, and they will make it possible to ndopt any kind of alterations by a mere majority. ‘This will give them the handle end of the whip in case f any cmergenecy, and thoy can extricate hemsclves from any predicament the demo- rats way force upon the house. To defeat he adoption of such rules, the democrats, of course, will fight like tigers and resort to all conceivable tucties, The present rules will, of course, prevail until the new rules are mpdopted, and therefore the democrats, in ghting against the adoption of the new set f rules, with certain advantageous elemeonts for the republicans, will have a great advant- . mge, and it is wore than likely thut a des . Rocle will ensue at the very outset GETTING CLEVELAND IN Representative Jobn McSh white louse for some time to-day * galked to President Cleveland about the mer- s 0f the Omaha public building bill, which expectad to go through the senute mext week, and to the chief executive tely therefore.

The present system was compiled from the town organization laws of differcnt states, and is very budly mixed up. The object of the coming meeting wil be to have the de- feets of the present luw pointed out, and to agree on a simple and better law. I is enncted counties will huve to full back on the commissionership system.

The township organization system is adopted by popular vote at a special election Mr. Couner, of Buffalo, does not be that he has the right to order newspapers and ask the people of the state to pay for them.

The question of the submission of 4 consti- tutional amendwont prohibiting the wauu fucture and sale of intoxicating liquors is not exciting much public attention as yet, but members are quictly discussing the matter, I talked with several gentlemen of the sen- ate and bouse to-day, who wude an approx mato estimate of the votes which such a measure will reccive in both houses, The committees are close-mouthed in regard to what their action will be. Nothing is known beyond the fact that both majority and minority reports will be submitted in both houscs, | give the estimate of these gentle: men. There are thirty-three members of the senate. The utmost number of votes in favor of submission is 19, with one or two of them doubtful, ‘There ure thirteen wio are known to be against, with one mewber who is of the class who wait and espouse the pop- ular side wien the result is clearly for shadowed.. It will require twenty make three-fifths of the senate. The doubts are ail on the side of the prohibitionists, with the probabitities in favor of the failure of the measu in the ate. In the nouse I talked with three or four members, one of whom is & member of the committee ou constitu tional amendments. There ave 100 members in that body. These geutleen agreed in the statemont that the number of those who are known Lo be in favor of such an amend- ment is 44; the number known to be opposed to,the measure is 3. Thore are 18 who are doubtful, and out of this number prohibition must secure 16 votes in order to got the 60 voles necessary to prevail in that body. A majority of the house committee are opposed to the measure; @ majority of the scuate committee favor prohibition, and yet the house has been supposed to have the nece sary majority for the measure, while the sen- ate has been supposed o 0ppose it. It is the view of & number of members with whom I have talked, that the time has passed when the people of the state will give a majority for probibition. Eight years, or oven six years ago, they say, such o measure might have carried by & goodly majority But the immigrants to the state during the past four years have bean of a class who oppose such o measure. They say that th people of any section of the stato favoring practical probibition, have it in their power now to adopt a measure which will be effec- tive; they can refuse to license saloons. lun cities they cau raise the liceuse to §2,000, sen- and Philadetphia, and even as far Montana.

The present number of the foremost American magazine a remarkable one, for there are many articles of a superior character, full of information, and marked with good thinking power. Stillman’s letter press to - the old mas- ter reproductions of Cole is weil worth reading, und he evidently comprehends and appreciates Giotto and is not misled by the nonsense of Ituskin, It is sin- wilar, however, that he has not de- tected the sonree of Giotto's inspiration for the head of Chyist in the fresco of Christ before Caiaphs in the Aren apel of Padun. [t resembles the i Dicu of Amiens too closely not to be connected with it in som Auchmuty, the founder of trade schools in New York, has an admirablo paper on wnew apprentico system, which reveals profound study of one of the most perplexing phases of the lahor question. “The Romance of Dollard™ is in its third number, and is already unnatural stilted and ridiculous to the point of being unreadabie, The illustrations to the article, “Round Aboat Galilee,” are exquisite, especinliy those by Harry Fenn, who reveals hini- self as i iter masterof pen-deawing than Joseph Pennell.
