I It is not generally known, but it is ; none the less true, tbat the remarkable series of caucuses held by the Demo cratic senators this week on the tariff hill were the direct result of suggestions from President Cleveland before he • went away. Several Democratic sena tors told Mr. Cleveland that they were dissatisfied with the l>ill as the sub-com mittee intended to report it tothe finance j committee, and to each of them he sug- j gested the idea of hold a caucus in order that the hill might be changed suliicient- j ly to receive the solid vote of the Demo- j crats. Senator Voorhees, although satis fied with the bill as arranged by the sub committee, was perfectly willing that a caucus should pass upon it before it was reported to the full committee. That is why the bill was turned over to the cau cus, instead of being reported to the full committee. While there are some regretable eir- j cumstances connected with the holding) of so many caucuses, it is far preferable, j either from a party or general point of j view, that concessions be made in a j party caucus than that they he forcibly | obtained with the aid of Republican j votes on the floor of the senate, i Whether the hill as finally reported by i the finance committee, to which the ; caucus returned it, will be a better or j worse measure than was the Wilson bill as passed by the house, may be a debat- i able question, hut that the votes of at ! least forty-two out of the forty-four | Democratic senators will be necessary to I pass any tariff hill is a fact that admits of no debate, since two of the Populist j senators have said that they would not , vote for it unless the sugar schedule is ] pleasing to them. At this writing every ! indication points to an agreement that i will result in a bill that can be passed by Democratic votes without any aid from the Populist senators. Some Republicans in the house— 1 notably Bingham, of Pennsylvania—are j worthy because Postmaster General j Bissell gave the contract for printing postage stamps to the bureau of engrav- j ing and printing, notwithstanding the efforts of a well-paid lobby to prevent his saving money for the government by , doing so, and some of them are talking about having a congressional investiga- ; tion. It is little short of nonsensical for i congress to investigate the right of the government to do its own work, but if I such an investigation would expose the I names and methods of the lobby which was employed in this particular case it should by all means be held. A popular hill is that introduced in the house by Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, providing an amendment to j the present law, making the votes of J three-fourths of a jury constitute a legal verdict in all civil eases. With that j amendment in force hung juries would | he almost unheard of in civil cases and the cost of litigation would he largely re duced. The lawyers are about the only people who are likely to oppose the change; it would cut into their fees quite heavily. Common sense again assumed its sway in the house this week and the Demo crats disposed of the Bland bill and j ceased to furnish tlie Republicans with | campaign material, by again getting j down to business after a tie-up of more ' than two weeks. Speaker Crisp made a decided hit just before a quorum voted, ! when asked to enforce the rule compell-1 ing members to remain in their seats and to vote when their names were called, by saying in reply: "The chair is the organ of the house, not its master, and as long as the present occupant is in the chair he will never make a rule. Representative Somers, of Wisconsin, who is a personal friend of Judge Jenkinß, whose injunction against the right of employes of the Union Pacific j Railroad to strike while the road WHS in the hands of court receivers, ttie house judiciary committee has decided should he investigated, has been hunting up precedents, and he finds that injunctions of a similar nature have been issued by Judge Iticks, in Ohio; Judge William 11. Taft, in Pennsylvania; Judge Pardee in Texas; Judge James 11. Realty, in Idaho; Judge Elmer 8. Dundy, in Ne braska. and Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court, while pre- siding over a court in Missouri. Mr. Somers says he has no objection to an investigation, hut that he does object to ! singling out Judge Jenkins to be investi gated when there are so many judges who issued the same sort of injunctions before he did S, A Matter of Doubt.
