SHIELDS, Chairman. Jas. W. McEwen, Sec’y. —■ Next Monday will be the last day for registration. “Ti«e con lition of the treasury is one of the results of the new rules,” said Congressman Holman of Indiana to a reporter of the Indianapolis Sentinel. “iV.turally, minorities are against large or excessive expenditures and they liave acted in the past as a curb to a majority, being always ready to expose this or that extravagant in crease of official salaries, etc. In | this congress, however, there is no opportunity for debste, and bills ' are passed which h-.ve never been read. In fact, the House consists of the speaker, the chairman of the committee on rules, and deter: mire what bills sha'l be passed giving neither the majorit y nor the minority an opportunity to examine* them. Under their dictation, J for instance, the Oklahoma bill |passed whep only oua-sixfh of it &ad been read. Other bills of magnitude, and some carrying big fg»X>rop’iaf ions of money have been speeded through in the same *

way. And yet the public business has not advanced, for the general deficiency appropriation bill was only recently re’ orted to the house from the appropriation committee.”

W hat action is to be taken by the Republicans in the Se T ate on the Force bill is yet uncertain, says the National Democrat, of Washington, but there is no uncert inty in regard to the determination of the originators. We have recently come into possession of the particulars of a secret con-ference-of the radical Republicans who, under the leadership of Reed and Dud ey, were instruraenlal in pushing the bill through the House of Repi esentativi s. At this con, fer=nce it was plainly stated that there was no hope of carrying enough congressional districts iu the Northern States to secure control of the next House of Repre* sentatDes. Dudley’s language to his csscciates at this meeting was: “There isn't salt enough in the sea to make Indiana Republican this year.” A mst valuable confession for our Indiana friend! It was urged by Dudley and Reed that the salvation of the Republican partv depended upon gaining control of some of the Southern States, and it was determined to concentrate efforts on three States, South Caro'ina, Mississippi and Louis’ana. These States were selected on account of the size of the colored population. It was decided that if there were not now enough negroes in any of the Congressional districts in these three States to make a clear majori v of the votes efforts to colonize colored votes there should at once be made. With the help of the Force Dill it is believed by these desperate leaders that not o iy the codgressioual representatives but the electoral votes can be obtained by the Republicans and their success in 1892 assured. >•* • Just received, a complete line standard brands corsets, corset waists, Abdominal corsets and Misses corsets, sold at prices below all competition.
