Allen and Varian and their followers of the majority in the house continue bulldozing. Judge Powers is the thorn in their side. How they do hate him, the democratic minority and every democratic measure. All is quiet in the council. On the statehood and silver questions the republicans have become mixed worse than ever. The democratic side recognizing that the questions are likely to come up for consideration in the near future, have been anxious to give expression at once to tlieir ideas on those questions but the republicans have resorted to dilatory motions in order to hold off consideration until they can endeavor to make an impression impres-sion that the measures emanated from their side. For this attitude they were roasted to a turn yesterday by Powers, who claimed that the republican leaders are untrue to their constituents when they delay consideration of Buch important im-portant questions. Varian carried out his promise to introduce a resolution against the taking tak-ing off of . the tariff on wool, and also made an attempt to show that the republicans re-publicans are in favor of the people, by handing in a memorial asking for Etatehood.
