CAUSE FOR CRUSHING CRISP fonator Mills Detsrmined to Havo the Bpeaker's Coalp. CLEVELAND WILL SUPPORT THE TEXAN Wilson of West Virginin Likely to Bo Se- lected ndidate —When Grover Stops Shooung Ducks the Fight Begins. § the Compromise ¢ Wasmixarox Bureav o T 518 Fountany it STRE Wasmiaios, D. C., Nov Fur will soon begin to (ly in the contest for the speakership of the Iifty-ihird congross. 1t is not goit g to be a re-election of the pre sent incumbent by default, a3 has been un- il today generally expected, One Roger Q. Miils of Corsicana, Tex., now a United States senator, has whetted his kuife for twelve months for the scalp of Charles Frederick Crisp of Americus, Ga. Tt will bs recalled thatwnen Crisp was made speaker ho paid a poutical deot to Springer of Tt nois, by making him chairman of ways aud means. a position which public opinion uc- corded 10 Mr. Miils, Speaker Crisp went further ana offered Mills the chiairmanshin of commerce, an iuconsequential place, whick the vunquished aspirant for tho spoakershin declined with thanks. Mills regarded the tender as a well-nlanved insult, and it is probable that in such a con- clusion hs was not oversensitive. He has since said hix day would come and Crisp would go to grass, It 1s well known tnat SSpeaker Crisp's plan for reforming the tarift is not tuat of Mr. Mills, nor isit thatofa majority of the democrats elected to the ¥ifty-third congress, and sull wore impor- tant it is not the plan of the man who will go into tho whito houss on the 4ih of March acting upon tho pretext that thers must be a speaier who is in accord with the adminis- tration and his party upon the importaut subject of rovising the tariff. v red to Rald Crisp. enator Mille nas for two days in Wash ington been organizing @ raid upon Mr. Crisp. He has been in cousultation with Mr. Bynum of Indiana, who is his most a tive and determined lieutenant, and shortly a conferenco of theold Mills standard boarers will bo held for the purpose of agreeing upon areal tariff reformer for the speakership who will be pushed in opbosition to Mr. Crisp. As Crisp1s a Hill man 1t is taken for granted that Cleveland will advocate the elect'on of another man thau Crisp to the speakership. Tho fight wili be bitter and determined, and it looks as though Mr.Crisp would have vory hara sledding during the next few months. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, who repre- sents tho coliegiato theories of freo trade, has already becn named to supplaut Spriager as chairman of the ways and means committee in the next house, butit now scoms probablo that Mr. Wilson will bo selzcted as the Mills-Clevelaud caudidate for speaker. Mr. Wilson would be the 1ideal candidate of all tho elemerts of the democ- racy and of the larger eloment of the mug- wumps whom Mr. Cloveland has pleased by his specches ut the Mantattan club dinnet in New Yorl and by lis subseguent lotter, warnimg oflice seekers not to bother him whilo he was shooting ducks. w Mr. Wilson is tho best representative of the so-called “'scholar in politics” that the democrauic party contains, and as the suyer- stition of superior intelleotuality amony tho tinkerers of the tarift is ~ thought to be popular by the democratic managers the fact that Mr. Wilson hns actually declined within a year a college presidency only adds to bis availability as a candidate for the speakership. His candi- dgoy would mean tho abandonrent of the amondment of the turiff by detachoed bills such as those passed by the last house under tho Crisp-Catchings polioy and senate financo committee, and would substitute a general freo trade assault along the whole line, including not ouly such raw materials as wool, but cutting down the duties ou steel rails, eutlery and macufactured wooleus, and involving, in short, s radical reduction of tho tariff schodule, It 18 in this idea that the obposition to Speaker Crisp's re-election will find its strength, and iv only rewains for Mr. Clevelind to abandon duck shooting for politics to show how much force the move- ment will bave. To Get the Party Together. Some far sceing Cleveland democrats have proposea a plan by which thev hope to get their parly in congress together on & tariff bill. It is to have tho treasury ofticials as soon as they are installed under tho mew president begin the framing of “an adwin- istration tariff bill,” the work to b under the general direction of President Cleveland and the leading domocrats in congress, When congress comes together the measure 1s to bo agreed upon 1n caucus, reported to the house through the commitlce on ways und means aod passed with as little alteration as possi- ble. They beheve this will be the only way in which'tho party can bo goiten together upon tho tariff and that it will msure ha mony ana speedy action. Mauy Restrict Immigration, Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, chairman of the senate commit*eo on immi- gration, and who has given much time to careful’ study on the immigration prociem, declures thatan. absolute suspension of all immigration for period of at least five urs would be & £ooa thing for the Unite tates, and his declaration is attracting much Tavorable comment in congressional circles. Treasury officials contend, however, that many of the immigration evils through which we suffer could bo reduced Lo an agreeablo minimum by a strict, impartial application of the present law, as tho meshes of offt net are fine enough uow, but they say there are great rents in it, made by practical politicians, who have no fear nor regard for anything 'when the interects of varty are concerned or individual interests aro in- volved in an election, ‘The demacrats do not [romiso any logisiation upon the subject of mmigration. How the Weaverites Figure, Woaverites in Washiogton fizure now that they carried seven staies in tho recent olec- tion, securing twenty-elght electoral votes as follows: Colorado, 4; Idaho, Kansas, 10; Nevada, 8; North Dakota, #; Oregon, 1} South Dakow, 4. The electors 1 South Dakota are republican, This reauces the Weaver vote in ihe eloctoral colleve to twonty-four. In no state did the Weaverites elect their full state ticket unless it was South Carolina, where the electors are straight democratic, The election of Wea- ver electors was by means of fusion with the demoorats in every instance oxcept Nevada and Colorado, where the Weaverites won In a three- ned fight aeainst the two old parties. ‘T'ho fusion was distinet 1n Kaosas, \Wyoming and North Dakota, In all the above named states the fusiomsts electea a parc of the state ticket, but tney made a clear sweep nowhere it seems.

Wasiisaoros, D, C., Nov. 26, —Goneral Rosocrans, registrar of tho traasury, in his annual report 1o Uhe secratary of tho treas- ury, makas the following caustic romarks in rozard to the operations of the civil sorvice laws: “Among the botterments of Lha service un- dertaken during the year tha most import ant are thoss initiated by ths president's order of Decembar 4, 1801 Tasy have beea setin operation undaer department circalars numbers 194 and 195 of Dcomber 5, 1891, and improved by the proscriptions of depart- ment circulurs numo#rs 5) aad 110 of 1592 alming 10 put each clerk’s eficiency record bovond tho reach of monetary impressions, lanses of memory, caprices and transcient feelings to which the minds of chiefs may be liabie 1n making up standings. “T'o omoraco thy chief elements of cierical oficiency record, some complication was requirad. but within two or threo months the heads of divisisus overcamd tha chief dificulties in their markings and wers compelled to give daily uttontion to those facts and mantal processes which aro necos- sary elements of wuy judgment concarning aclevk’s oficial merit.

Tois Lecomes all the more important since the competitive system, us now practicod. absolutely excludes neads of bureaus from pacticipating or making appointments and promotions in their bureaus. This vital de- feot causes Laom to record these great bet terments of the clerical service contemplated in tho depariment civculars as evils to be vorne. “Third—Competitive examinations for pro- motion, us conducted in the two or three beld in' this bureau, bave given very unsatis- factory rosults.

Lherefore tho monthly record of cficiency is greatly superior to tne haphazard results of the competitive examination, which command 1o rospect of chiefs or subordinates in this office. I3ut this rocord of efliciency only counts for 20 per cent, while the competitive results count for 50 per cent, in spite of all their defects trom chances of competitive wequality of opportunity, some times oceasioned by length of service apd of ex- clusive attention to oftica work.

But injustice results to twonty-uine clerks of the copyist grade in this bureau from the requirement that all promotions shall bs by succossive grades in ocach bureau;- honce, copyists must at first be promoted to the §1,000 grade. Now 1n this bureau there are only two clerkships of §1,000 each; wherofore the $800 clerkships must wait for one of those to become vacant. To remedy tnis state of things 1 would rec- ommend that 2500 be added to the appropria- tion to increaso by $100 each the pay of five of these copyist clorks, so that there will be seven $1,000 clerkships instead of but two.” OR THE ARMY.

Wasiisaroy, . C.,, Nov. 20.—Since the publication, Novewmber 19, of tho table show ing the composition of the next house of rep- resentatives, and establishing a democratic majority of winety-two over tho combined forces of the republicans and populists, the democratic cungressional committee has resied content and has not tried to revise its list which, at the time of preparation, azreed with those made by the clerk of the' house, The cleri has ulso abavdoned any further tabulation for tho presont and has gouo out of town. At the republican eingressional committes rooms Captain MckKee has been doing some quiot figuring With & purpose of scaling that majority down somewhat and he claims to have succeeded.

T'he two Rhodo Island districts, where thers was no election, have been omitted from the calcula- tion, which results as follows: Democrats elected, 218; ropublicans, 13%; populists elected, 8, leaving a democratic majority over the republicans and populists combined of 52, Regarding Indian Schools, WasmiNarox, D.

Wasmivaroy, §D. C, Nov. 26, —[Special Telegram to "ae BEe|-One of the most convincing and secret objections entertained LY the democrats against an extra session of the Fifty-third cotigress for the repoal ot the McKinley tariff law is the apparent fact that the party is going to have a rogular cat fight in agreeing upon a substitute measure. | The leadcrs of the party want timo in whicn | to hear from the people and to get tueir men in congress together, It is not going to bes simple cuse of just woing right along and pre paring & now tariff and then passing it through congress. It is an entireiy differeys thing to cutaown a tariff from what it is to build up one. The republicans hiad a sorry time of it, and it took them the better part of & yecar to prepare a tariff bill which put up dutics upon & major ity of articles, That measuro perpstrated no injury upon anindustry, unloss it was by not affording it sufficient protection by an in- crease. When it comes to protecting an industry by saying just how much of a cyt it can stand, the conditions will be materially anged, There 1s no doubt that Senator Gorman of Maryland 18 as pocential a figurc as there is in the democratic party now in congrose. He Lias shown .ou many occasions his party wisdom, He will be foremost in the coun- sels which will map out tho new tariff bill. Senator Gorman has already made haste to announco that he will not peimis the duty on coal to be removed. Neither of tho demo- cratic senators trom West Virginia, a great coal-producing state, will suffer coal to ba mado free. There will be other democrats who will join in this stand to protect Ameri- can coal fields. The greatest point the dem- ocrats made in the recent election was that our manufactarers should have free raw ma- teriais, Fuel is tho bheaviest item in the running exvenses of & manufac turer, Tho high price of fuel is the primary cause which moves factories from every partof the country to the natural gas fields o1 Indiaua and Ohio, whore fuel is free. 1f the duty on coal is to be maintainea, the cry of the democrats for free raw materials and an open market will be at once stified. They will have shown their selfishuess by refusing to make free the productions of states they politically nold, How Nebraska De crats Figured. When the campaign was onening six months ago it was held thatthe bounty placed upon domestic suzar, to en- courage the dovelopment of the in- dustry in this country, must be re- pesied. Evon the democrats from Nebraska, the great and promising beet sugar state, advocated the repeal of the sugar bounty. Now come Representutive Catchings of Mississippi and the members from Louisi- aua, and they declaro that the bounty on sugar must be repeaied, but the ola duty on sugar, which fs 8s high us the bounty, but which comes from the people iustcad of the public treasury, as does the bounty, must be restored, _In other words they want the pro- tection of an import duty, bat wantthe money to como from the consumers of sugar instead o from_the consurners of luxuries. Possibly the Nebraska democrats could afford to strike down their infant imndustry by voting to repeal the bounty, but the cano sughr producers of the south demand pro tection by r-eimposition of the old duty. It issafe to predict that within a year and a balf sugar will be as high as it was three vears ago, and tae beet sugar factories will be closed. ‘I'ho only evidence that has been shown up to this time of disposition to bo sacrificing of self-interosts comes from Texas. The delogation from that state areto lead out in the work of placiug wool upou the free list, as Texas 18 the groatestof tno wool growing _states, ‘rhe httle farmgr 1 Indiana, Ohio and other states who must feed his sheep the year around, and who has open prairie belonging to the government, lo turn s sheep upon and feed the vear around without cost or trouble, will simpl Y;B'l}l‘) to quit raising sheoo except for thel flesh. ‘Tho farmer is gomgto have the rasp driven into him from another diroction in the creation of tuenew tariff bill. In tne recent campaign the democrats told the laborer aud mohcanic that the present tarift law was uot only for the manufacturer alone, and made the rich richer and tne poor poorer, but it compelled the laborer 1o pay more for the necessities of life, Word comes here from Homostead and other great labor centers that when 1t comes to make up the new tariff bill the lavorers and mechanics will send representatives here to see that the duties imposed upon ar- ticlos of food are absolutely repealed. [n northern New York the laboring man has to pay from i0 to 30 per cent more for eggs, potatoes, flour, meat, etc., thau they ca: be bought for just across thelino in Canada. They want cheapar articles of fooa and ure going to have them. Thus 1t will be seen how multifarious are the dutics and how conflicting the interests when it comes to framing & new tariff bill and why tue demo- crats will postpone the work as long as pos- sivle. RUMORS ABOUT BLAINE'S HEALCH, His Famlly Says e 15 Better o Makes Him Worse, WasmiNaroy, D. €, Nov. 26,—Blaine's condition continues o excite gossip notwith- standing the positive statoments of the fam- ity and physicians that nothing serious is the watter with him.

It has not boen proved and it is not true that 1 am maintaioing & nuisance on wy property on the coraer of Twenty-fifth ana Cuming streets, The cuse is simply this: My vaults were condemned, not because they are in an unsanitary condition, but because they aro not connected vith the sower. 1deny tho authority of the Board of Heaith to compe me to conuect with the sower as long as | comply with the rules and regulations gov- erning such cesspools and vaults. The fact that @ sewer passes by my place doesn’t make my cesspools uny more of a nuisanco than others ellowed to be used all over the city. If “equality before the law” means any- thing, it meaus that the ability to make those improvements cuts no figure, vecause the poor man has got 1o comply with the law as woll as tho rich one, whether Le is able to do so or not, and I ¢claim thaat the only way it can be done (if It can be done atall) is that the city make.the improvements and chiarge it against tho property, s 13 done in filling up lots, sloping banks, etc. It 1s true that L was fined §20 and costs in two cases, but one of thoso was concern- ing properly located on Fifteonth sand California strests, for which I am simply agent, 1 was served with a notice to fillup and abandon the use of four vauits, located on said property, or properly con- neot the same with the sewer, within five days from the date of the notice. Not com- piying with the sald notice I was arrested and requested to plead to the charge of muin- taining u nuisance. 1 pleaded that being only an agent I had no authorily to abandon tho use of sutd property or any part thercof and could not make auy extensive and costly im- provements without instructions from the owner. I was found guilty, fined 320 and costs and to staud committed until paid. That proposition seomed €0 vreposterous and av the same time so novel that [ could not resist the temptation of seeing the majesty of th@ law takeits course. I re- fused to pay the fino aud as & consequence 1 was committed 1o jail. 1t is possibie that this is the law, but I am not saticfied on this point yot, and will not be until the higher courts of his state have said so. In connection with this matter 1 would suggest to the Boarz of Health the propriety of serving one of tneir dve days notices on itself to abate the nuisance existing in the city jail. 1 bave owned many cesspools in Omaha, but I never vet had ono that was so stinking fou! as the cell in thecity jail in which 1 was imprisoned last Monday.
