The gentlemen engaged in attempting to organize a revolt in the House against Czxr Reed’s Ligh-handed way of domg things have zeal, will. brains. aidacity-—in fact, everything but the ‘one thing necessary to succeed ; votes onough to outvote R:ed’s supporters: ‘There is lots of talk about a large nuzaber of republicans being ready to join the revolt, but if brought to an issue it will be found that the “large number” will be about a dozen or : possibly as many a8 twenty at the 4 outside. This being the case it strikes a me that these gentlemen are, with ihe best intentions, wasting time that might be put to we better use than raising expectat.dns that cannot be realized among those who are not fully ac- quainted with the situation in the House. That there are enough repub- licans in the House who are at heart opposed to Reed’s policy an! methods to make a majority of the House when combized with the demo- crats and populists is probably true, bur they all want the best commitcce assign- monts they can get and are not going fo vote against the man who makes those assignments; they also want favors from the administration, and they know that McKinley is in favor of Reed’s policy. Enough republicans to muke a majority of the House will support Reed, regardless ol what they think. “Billy” Mason, of Llinois, this week established his record in Senate asa “kicker,” by making a speech in favor of his resolution tor a clotere rule, in wiich he ridieu'ed the methods of that august body and charged its memoers with caring more for individual p>wer than for the public welfare. Referring to the failure to act on the Morgan Cuban resolution he said that it was impossible to tear down the volden god of the Senate rules in order to act, and closed by saying: “1 would not scuttle tha old ship, but I would like to put her'in dry dock long enough to have her i a al bottom scraped.” While no gold democrat has been appointee to a prominent place by , McKinley, he is indirectly showing hie gratitude to the gold democrats by allowmg a number ct them to remain in : very desirable ctlices. Conrad N_ * Jordan, Assistant Treasurer of the United States, at New York, is a con- spicious example, although Senator Platt‘and the entire New York machine made a hot fight for his place tor Eilis on Roberts, a Platt republican. Jordan was in Washington this week to renew his $400,000 bond that expired at midnight on the 22n1 inst. His renewal ie of the bond makes it certain chat be has een assured of his retention in office tor an indefinite period, as a reward for ng a gold democrat.

Senator Morgan has given notice that he would insist upon 4 vote next week upon hig resolution for the recoz~ nition of the beligerency of the Cubans. The ressiution can command a majority in the Senate ail right, but there it will stop, unless Czar Reed sees fit to allow session outside of the tariff bill and the left over appropriation bills. The adverse decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in ihe case of Chapman, the New York broker who retused to enswee questions in the Senate sugar scandal investigation, leaves Chapman with only one hope of escaping the thirty day jail sentence imposed upon him when he was found guiity of con- tempt ina Washington court.
