' 1 hey have engrafted into their coclo of rules a pro vision which will enable them to reach note \oto nt any time clotuio as terse as that provided by the Hood i tiles. They have made It easy for tin oo men on the rules committee to limit debito. They have re pudiated every nssertion made by thorn in the liouso nnd in the scnnto duiing the I Iced umgicss.

Then the relegation of the conntrj's busi ness measuio the Uiiiff bill to tlio rear for the bill lo lepenl the fcdeial election laws Is most contemptuous. Hver.v body know s that the business mtciests of the countty aie sus pended in midair , and that every real busi ness man m the country wants to know at the eailiost possible day wnat tins demo cratic tongtess and adminlt.trallou nio going lo do in the way oflanff reform , " what kind of n now tariff law the country is to have. If theio uas excuse and noceBslly for calling congress together In extraordinary session for the purpose of repealing n por- nlcious silver law , ft is con coded on every hand tint there is now existing n demand for early action upon the tariff to relieve suspense nnd ptovent bankiuptcy.
