Tint republican congress is still in session righting over a new tariff bill. The leading republican papers of the state are making a big kick on a number of tire jobs given out to republican leaders in this state. ■ jgaegB - - 1 -1 Now that the pri^e fight is over and Jackson and Walling have been hanged the metropolitan newspapers a ill turn their attention tocongrvss. which was sidetracked for the other great event*.

PktkksUi n»i's candidates for custodian of the state house were not in the hunt at any stage of the game. The three l*est positions were given to residents of Iudianajolis by Governor Mount. John K.

Their nominations hart* been confirmed by the senate.

Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) Wash iso tojf, March 23,1827. Nothing more daring has been done in the House during either of the autocratic reigns of Czar Heed than the passing in a few hours of tbe appropriation bills which failed to become laws nt the last session of congress, without reference to any sort of committee and practically without debate. Just stop and think for a moment of the audacity of this proceeding. Here, is a house, more than one-third of its members being men who did not belong to the. last House and who know no more about the items in those appropriation hi 0 s than if they had been prepared in Africa. These bills were brought forward and House .was ordered to pass them “sight unseejn,” as the boys used to say about swapping j concealed articles although they carried many millions of the peoples’ money and ijt was admitted by some of the republicans jwho helped to force them through that they contained items that were questionable as well as those that were extra vagont.i And this remarkable assumption of authority on the part of Czar Reed had not ■even the excuse of urgency and lack of time to have the bills take the regular course .of such measures. There will be j time to waste in the House after the 31st of this month, upon which dale the McKinley | taritT bill, No. 2, is to be passed. The sole | object was to keep the hands of the House tied {for the whole of the present session, by not ,| appointing the regular committees, another unheard of thing originated by the gentleman from Maiue, who still kindly allows the members of the House to draw theij salaries and dispose of the money without consulting him, and who also allowed them to vote, themselves extra mileage. 1

nepresenisuve -v. r.amp v iara ui Missouri, made a red-hot speech in the House on the new method of passing app vpriatkm bills, saying in part: “The longer a man lives the more he finds out. First and last. I've said some unkind things I believe in two legislative bodies, 1 was in fav* gut God the re U. Si Senate and jx>ked considerable at it. In the days of 1894. I was so j»etated at its conduct, that, although r of abolishing it. But in tuTS'distinhed presence, 1 wish to retract all the criticisms I have made against it. I thank that the Senate remains a deliberative btxlv. In this house we are going through most amazing, most astounding performance which ever‘took place on this continent.” Speaking directly to the Jreppcblicans Mr. Clark said: “In the campaign of last year you charged 6,500,000 voters of this country with being anarchists. You arc the real anarchists. What is anarchy? It is running the affairs of a country without government. You are doing just what you charged us with wanting to do, but let me tell you, a day of reckoning will come.” Ilr. McKinley and other republicans are :*h alarmed at the signs of a revolt in Senate. It is given out by prominent ublkan senators, among them members he Senate finance committee, which has ady taken up the subject, that the Mctley tariff bill Mo. 2, will not do, and E they are going to amend it so it will be recognized. It is, of course', possible t these' republican senators are only mtudug a bluff to give Mr. McKinley an opportunity to offer them inducements in the ska|>e of patronage to support his tariff bill, but the manner iu which the Senate amended the two last tariff bills passed, is ca culated to make Mr. McKinley believe it means something more serious. There is a rumor that Secretary Bliss has resigned because Mr. McKinley compelled him to accept the resignation of Land Commissioner laimorvux, which was tendead before the close of the Cleveland ad

ministration, and which Bliss had refused to accept because of accusations made in j connection with the Chicago lake front land j case, but the rumor is denied. Although the output of the administration pie plant continues limited in quantity, | the fact is noted with wrath by those who were not original McKinleyites that nearly all that has been dished out has gone to the original McKinley men. This too, in the face of Mr. McKinley’s continued reitera-; tion of his intention to recognize no fac- ; tioos of his party in making appointments. It is beginning to dawn upon the minds'of some of the republicans who were not for McKinley before the St. Louis convention, that they are being tricked. Whenever i one of them looms up its a prominent aspirant for a good position, it “happens” that he runs against Mr. McKinley’s very convenient rule not to appoint men who cannot get the endorsement of their entire congressional delegation. It looks very much as though the old anti-Mc’s. would have to content themselves with the smaller federal offices in their states, while King Hanna takes care of “our triends.” Free Pills.
