In the December number of the North American jMthlihei tomorrow;' Mf. Bryan presents an article In which he discusses the result of the election as affecting the status of the silver question. The Issue of which election he describes as The greatest Issue ever submitted to the American peor-l- fn t'me of peace " n Re-vle- tf ' e !f ! ii accomplish a great deal in a brief time. The question of additional revenues for the government will depend .on the senate, to which the house sent thd Dinglay bill almost a year ago. Should it be Impossible or be deemed Inexpedient to prev that measure' through the senate, there is, of course, a possibility that the projvosal to increase the revenues by an additional tax on beer or the imjvosltion of a duty on tea, coffee, etc , may take tangible form, and if so, such legislation must originate, under the constitution, In the lower branch of Congress, There are on the several cal endars of the'.house 1,365 bills reported from the various committees, and the proportion which will pas the coming session must be necessarily almost infinitesimal. Most of them are private bills (of which there are 1,100), but there are also 256 bills on the calendar on the state of the union and 99 'public bills on the regular house calendar. Seme of these are of very great public importance, and those interested will, no doubt, do all In their pewer to secure action on them. The power lodged In the hands of the committee on rules, which gives the members of that committee control of the house programme, w'll make that committee the practical arbiter of what shall be submitted to the house for its action. That committee is composed, as at present, of the speaker, with Mr. Henderson of Iowa, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and Mr. McMillan of Tennessee. The death of ax Speaker Crisp creates a vacancy at the head of the minority of the committee, which must be filled by the speaker. The names prom Inently mentioned In connection with the vacancy are Mr. Bailey of Texas, Mr. Catchlngsof Mississippi, Mr. Turner of Georgia, Air. Richardson of Tennessee and Mr. Dockery of Missouri. The bill which in many respects Is fraught at this time with much interest and which will press hardest for consld eratlon Is the Pacific railroad funding bill. The bonds guaranteed by the government are payable early in the coming year, and either an extension or a foreclosure stares tha roads In the face. For eight years funding bills have occupied a good share of the attention of congress. The present bill, of which Mr. Powers of Vermont the author, was reported shortly before the close of the last session. Everything will be done by those Interested In it to secure consideration. The friend of the Nicaragua canal are also bending every energy to secure action on the bill reported by Mr. Doolittle, which provides for a guarantee by the United States of $1000,000,000 of bonds for the construction of the canal. The war claims committee, which showed fight on several occasions at the last session, 'promise to renew their aggressiveness this winter, especially for the passage of the claim awarded under the Bowmaq act and the French spoliation claims. The claims, the former amounting to $162,459 and the latter to $2,708,196, were put in the sundry civil "bill at the last session as a rider of the senate, but the bllf was vetoed by the president, and they were then dropped.

There are also several Important measure In the senate which might come over to the house for consideration. I 1 HsuM U it alu 1' il.f I I re the money question, lie dcclare,Jia suited In temporary defeat for his party, but permanent gain for the cause of Mr. Bryan regards It significant fart that the silver sentiment was strongest where the question had been longest considered, that Is to say, In the west and south. The gold sentiment prevailed In the eastern states, but een there, in Mr. Bryans opinion, tbe cause of blmeiallsm made more rapid progress thau any cause ever made in such a short time. The odds against hlmetal-ism-ithe middle states were very great. In Wisconsin and Minnesota the democratic party declared against sliver In conventions which sent delrgatlons to Chicago. In Michigan the convention was nearlv equally divided, and there was a bitter contest within the party In Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, vChlle In Illinois the hostile Influence of the Chicago press was greatly felt. Mr. Bryan expresses his assurance that the election can be by no means regarded as a conclusive settlement of the questions -- a-a n at issue. This confidence is confirmed by the history of recent elections. Mr. Greeley was defeated in ST 3, and yet Mr. Tilden was eleried In 1876. Mr. Blaine was defeated in 18S4, but Mr Harrison was elected In 18S8. The republican victory of 1SS8 was followed by the democratic victory of 1S90, and the election of President Cleveland two y ears later. Mr. Bryan counsels the republican party to remember that thousands of republicans have been held to their party this year by thej pledge that they will try to secure International blmet-allsIn regard to the gold standard democrats, Mr. Bryan is assured that they cannot do as much harm in 1500 as they have donq this year. "They cannot," he says, (disguise themselves again. The contest for financial Independence will go on. We undertook the contest with a disorganized army; we emerged from it a united and disciplined force without the loss of a soldier. We are ready for another contest. We believe that we are right, and believing that right will finally triumph, we face the future firm in the belief thatblmetalism will be restored." 1 1 -- pre-set- 1, C'hiie Haa a NorpNia. 27. A dispatch to the Herald from alparaiso, Chile, says: At one of the late sessions of the senate the minister of finance made a clear, practical exposition of the true financial condition of the countiy, proving his assertions by statistics and documents. It Is evident from this state ment that the conversion Is a realized fact, there being In the conversion fund a surplus of more than 8,000,000 pesos which can be applied to the balance of the expenditures, leaving assured at the end of 1S96 a surplus in favor of 1897 of more than 5,000,000 pesos.
