O.i Nov. 20. ) Pur will soon begin to lly In the contest for the sponkersnlp of the Fifty-third congress. It Is not goltg to ba a ro-clectlon of the pre sent Incumbent Dy default , nl has boon un til todav generally expected. Ono linger Q. Mills of Uorslcana , Tex. , now a Unltod States senator , has whetted his Unlfo for twelve months for the scalp of Charlej Krederlck Crisp of Americas , Un. It will ba recalled thatwnon Crisp was mndn spoikor hooald n poutloil debt to Springer of Illi nois , by making him chairman of ways untl moans , n position which public opinion ac corded to Mr. Mill * . Speaker Urisp wont further and offered Mills the chairman-win of commerce , an luLonseiiuentlal place , which the vanquished nsplrant foi1 the spoakonhlp declined with thanks. Mills regarded the tender as a well-nUmicd Intuit , and It Is nrobablo that In such a con dition ho was not oversensitive. Ho has Blnccsaldhlft Jay would como mill Crisp would go to grass. It is 'vull known tnnt bpoaicor Crisp's plan for rotorming thu tarlll 1s not tuat of Mr. Mills , nor Is It that of n majority of the democrats clccttd to the 1 Fifty-third congress , mill still moro impor tant It Is not the plan of thu man wlio will go into the whlto house on the -llti ot March tiding upon iho pretext that tliuro must ho a spcauer who Is In accord with Iho adminis tration and his party upon the important ubjoct of revising the tariff. I'K'iiircil to llulcl G'rlsp. Senator Mlllf nas for two U ays In Wash ington boon organizing a raid upon Mr. Crisp. Ilo has bcoti In consultation with Mr. Bynuni of Indiana , who is his most nc- tivo and ueturrained lieutenant , nnd shortly n conference of thoold Milli standml : hearers > vlll bo held for the purpose of agreeing upon n real tariff reformer for the spcukershlp who will bo pushed In opposition to Mr. Crisp. As CrUn is a Hill man It Is taken for granted that , Cleveland will advocate the oloot'on of another man than Crisp to thu tipoaUarship. The light will bo bittar and determined , nnd it looks as though Mr.Crlsp would have very hard sledding during thu uoxt few months. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia , who repre sents the collegiate theories of free trade , has already been named to supplant Springer as chairman of tbo ways and moans committee in tbo next , house , but it now Rooms probable that Mr. Wilson will be soUctod ns tbo Mllls-Clovoluntl candidate for npcakor. Mr. Wilson would , bo the meal candidate of all the olotncnts of the democ racy and of the larger olomcnt of the mug wumps whom Mr. Cleveland has pleased by Ins speeches at tboMunhattan cluu Jinnee In Now York nnd by Ins subsequent lottnr , warning ofllce seekers not to bother him whilebn was shooting ducks. - Mr. Wilson Is the host renresentatlvo of the so-culled "scholar In politics'1 that the democratic partj contains , and as the surer Billion ol superior intellectuality ntnonu the tlnkerors of the tnrllt Is thought to bo popular by the democratic manager ! the fuel that Mr. Wilson ha ; nctunlly declined within n year a college presidency only adds to tils availability as i candidate' ( , iho spcakcrsnlp. His candl daoy would mo-in tbo abandonment of tin amendment of the tariff by detached , bill' auch as those passed by the last house undo the Crisp-Catchlngs policy and sunati finance commlttco , nnd would substitute i general free trade assault along tno wholi line , including not only such raw material : ns wool , but cutting down the duties on stec rails , cutlery and manufactured woolous , aiu involving , In short , s radical reduction of tin tariff schedule. It is In this idea that tin opposition to Speaker Crisp's ro-ulrction wll llnd its strength , and it only rmnalus for Mr CleveUnd to abandon uuclt shooting foi politics to show how much force iho movement mont will havo. To Hot the 1'nrty Tiieotliur. Sorao far seeing Cleveland democrats bavc proposed a plan by which they hope to ge their party In congress together on a tarif bill. It Is to have tbo treasury oftlclals iv Boon as they are installed under the liov president begin the framing of "un admlr islrntlon tariff bill , " tbe work to bo unrtt tno general direction of President Clovoian and the loading democrats lu congress. Whe conercss comes together the measure is 10 b agreed upon m caucus , reported to the hous through the committee on ways and mean nod passed with as little alteration ns poss ble. Tlioy believe this will bo the only wa In which the party can bo gotten togethr upon the tariff and that it will insure hat uiouy and speedy action. / May Item net Immigration.

Important'defects to bo remedied are : "l lrst Eich aivlslou or noting chief should bo required to record each clerk's porformancc at the close of each day nnd al low Iho clerks to sen this dally record , to avoid complaints , correct records nnd excite emulation , "Second Provision should bo made for an adequate expression by tbo head of the bureau of his responsibility as lentil chief. Tnls becomoi all the more iuiporUnt since the competitive system , as now practiced , absolutely excludes heads of bureaus frotn participating or making appointments und promotions in their bureaus. This vital de fect causes them to record thobo great bet terments of tno clerical service contemplated In the department circular * us evils to be borne. "Third Competitive examinations for pro motion , us conducted lu the two or three held in this bureau , have given very unsatis factory results. Tneso results commend the system ' .o neither superiors nor to the clorl- ca' force in this bureau. "Fourth The public scrvlco does not , as prime qualities , demand That omployos should be uulck-wittoO , of all round intolji- gcnco , alilo to five Instructions on depart ment and general matters ; it requires cfllciont cloricil aervlco. 'Iheroforo thn monthlv record ot ofllctenoy is greatly superior to the haphazard results of the competitive examination , which command nn respect of chiefs or subordinates in this ofticc. Hut this roconl of oflicicncy only counts for20 percent , while the competitive results count for 50 pur cent , in spite of all their defects trom chances of competitive inequality of opportunity , some times occasioned by length of service npd of ex- clustvo attention to olllco work. It woula be vastly better for'tbo service nnd the compet itive examinations to reverse tliobo ratios nnd make tbo efficiency repord count SO pec cent and thc'i-ojulta of the examination tc count SO Doruur.i. In any event , pronur pro vision for the exorcise of the best judgment of the responsible head of the bureau sbould bo made. "Neither the Interests of the public service nor of true economy are observed by In justice. But injustice results to twenty-turn clerks of tbo copyist crude in this bureat from the requirement that all promotion ! shall ba by successive grades in oacl bureau ; nonce , copyists must at lirst b < promoted to the j 1,000 grade.

It U nut going to bo a Kimplo cusoof Jut coln < right along and pro * paring a now tariff and then passing it through congress. It Is an entirely different tblnp to cut down a tariff from what It , Is to uulld up ono. Tno republicans hal a sorry tlmo of It , and II took thorn the better part of u year to prepare a tariff hill which put up duties uuon n major ity of attlclus. That nmasuro pcrpotr.Uoil no Injury upon nn industry , unless It was by not affording It sufllclent protection by an in- crcoso. When It comas to protecting nn Industry by saying Just how tnuca of a cut It cin stand , tbo conditions will bo materially changed. There is nodoulit that Son n tor Gorman of Maryland is as potential a figure as tborols in the democratic party uow In con pros' . Ilo tiai shouii ,011 many occasions his party wisdom. Ho will be foremost m the coun sels which will map out the now tariff bill. Senator Ciorman has already made haste to ' announce that ho vlll not pot nut , tbo duty on coal to bu removed. Neither ot the demo cratic senators from West Virginia , a great coal-producing state , will RUffir coal to bo made free. Them will bo otlior democrats who will Join In this stand to protect.Ameri can coal llaldi. The greatest point the dem ocrats made In the recent election WHS thbt our manufacturers should have free raw ma terials. Fuel ls the heavicit Item In the running BXDCIISCS of a mnnufac- turor , The high price of fuel is the primary cause which moves factories from every paitof the country to tliu natural pas Holds ol Indiana and Ohio , where fuel Is free. If the duty on coal is to bo mnlntulnoj , tbo crv of the democrats for frea raw materials and an open market will bo at once Htlflcd. They will have shown their selfishness by refusing to malto free the productions of states they politically hold. Ilo\r Nebraska Ilrmucrut * I'lcuroil. When the campaign was opening six months ago it was held that'tho bounty placed upon doraestlo sucnr , to en courage the development of tbo in dustry In this country , must bo ro- poaVed. Even the democrats from Nebraska , the great and promising beet sugar state , advocated the repeal of the sugar bounty. Now como Representative Cntchlngs of Mississippi and the members from Louisi ana , and they declare that the bounty on sugar mu t bo repealed , buthu old duty on sugar , wbiuti is as high us the bounty , but which comes from the people instead of thu public treasury , as does the bounty , must bo restored. In other words they want the pro tection of an import duty , but want the money to como from the consumers of sugar instead o ! from the consumer * of luxuries. Possibly tbo Nohraika democrats could ufford to strlKo down their infant industry by voting to ropsal tbo bounty , but the c.ino susriir producers of the south demand pro tection by r-oimposltlon of the old duty. It is safe to predict that within a year and a half sugar will be as high as It was three years ago , and the beet sugar factories will bo closed. Tbo only evidence that has been shown UD to this tlmo of u disposition to bo t > acritlcing of solf-intoroits co'mes from Texas. The delegation from that state are to lead out In the work of placing wool upou thu free list , as Texas Is the greatest of tno wool growing states , 'iho httlo farmer lu Indiana. Ohio and other states who must feed his sheep the year around , and who has open prairie belonging to the government to turn his sheep upon and feed the your around without cost or trouble , will simply have to quit raising sheao except for their Hush. The farmer Is going to have the rasp driven into him from another direction in the creation of the new tariff bill. In the recent campaign the democrats told the laborer and mobcanto that the present tariff law \vas not only for the manufacturer alone , and made tbo rich richer and the poor poorer , hut U compelled the laborer to pay moro for the necessities of life. Word comes here from Homestead and other great labor centers that when it comes to make up tbo now tariff bill the laborers and mechanics will send representatives hero to sea that the duties imposed upon ar ticles of food are absolutely repealed. In northern Now York the laboring man has to pay from 10 to 30 per cent moro lor eggs , potatoes , Hour , moat , etc. , than they ca i be bought for Just across iho line in Canada , They want choapar articles of fooo. and arc going to have thorn. Thus it will ho soon how mult [ furious are the duties and how conllictiuvr tbo interests whtm It comes tc framing n now tariff bill and why the demo crats will postpone the work ns long as DOS- sible.

To tbo Editor of Tun BED : Having noticed several statements in your paper concerning ray trials in the police court I desire to state my sldo of tbo case. It has not been proved and It Is not true that I am maintaining a nillsanco on tuy property on the cor.ior of Twenty-fifth and ( burning streets. Tbo cuso is simply this : My vaults were condemned , not because they are in an unsanitary condition , but because they are uot connected , vith the sowor. I deny the authority of the Board of Health to compo mo to connect with tbo sewer as long us I comply with the rules and regulations gov erning such cesspools unil vaults. Tbo fact that a sewer passes by my place doesn't nmko my cesspools iuiy moro of a nuisance than others allowed to bo used all over the city. If "equality before the law" moans any- bing , it : ncans that the ability to make hose improvements cut.s no llcure , because ho poor man has got to comply with the law as well ns the rich olie. whether ho is able o do jo or uot. and I claim ttmt the only way t can bo done ( if It ban be done at nil ) is hat tbo city make. thu improvements and charge it against the property , us B done in filling up lots , sloping banks , etc. It is true that I was , lined fill and costs u two cases , but ono ol those was concern- ng property located on Fifteenth and California streets , for which I am simply in-cut. 1 was 'served with n , notice to 111 up and abandon the tuo of four vaults , ocutod on said property , or propotly con nect the same with tbo sewer , within , five lays from the date of the notice. Not com plying with the said uotlco I was arrested and requested to plead to the charge of main taining u nuisanco. I pleaded that being only an agent 1 bad no authority to abandon the use of said property or any part thereof and could uot make any extensive- and costly im- irovemonts without instructions from tno owner. I was found quilt } ' , fined S-U ) und costs und to stand committed until paid. That proposition sromod EO preposterous and at tbe same time so novel tuat I could tot resist the temptation of seeing the majesty of tuiJ law toke its course.

I feel about it , just as I fancy my brothers felt. Women have been voting in Wyoming for the past twenty years , so I have grown up in the midst ol it and it docs not seem any dllTuront , I fancy , to mo than It would to a man.

Why , for Harrison , of course ! I just put u eros-s under the insigni.i of the party and dropped the ticket in the ballot box. " "Was there any special significance attached to your particular vote that the committee sent for you ? " ono of the aforesiiid admirers asked her. "No. indeed. I can explain that very easily by tollltfg you that there in u largo Catholic element in Ohoyonno which blended with the democratic vote , and wo. were very anxjous to boat them , and that is why they wanted every available vole. " "And you fcol now that your efforts in the interest of n hotter government were wasted by the loss of the election:1" "Indeed , 1 do not , for sueli is not the case. True , wo lo&t the national elec tion , but wo carried our county und also cot the Harrison electors , and so I do feel that my \ oto counted and that neither the time nor money was thrown away. " "i'ou are a born republican , thenV . "Yes , indeed , a born republican with a variety of prohibitionist mixed with it. "Cut , " concluded Miss Boyd , with the tender touch of womanhood , "you must remember that in addition to the politi cal motives which took mo so far to veto there wore others just us strong , and maybe stronger. " "Now , they wore " ' Yes , I was to BOO my mother and father and brothers , and the combined temptation was too strong for any ordi nary woman to rcalst. and so I cast my maiden vote with , porhans , moro pleas ure than most girls have done , even in Wyoming , where women love politic * .
