WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 29.-The Post In a cable letter from I-ondon will print to-morrow an advance copy of an Important artlclo written by Hon. WUlIam E. Chandler, senator from Now Hampshire, for the December is sue of the National Review, the Conser vative monthly, In which foe discusses the late election from the Republican standpoint. His principal object Is to encourage European bl-metalllsts to | continue their propoganda. The Review commenting editorially l upon the election of Major McKinley dogmatically asserts that "unless the Kepubllcan party settles the sliver question before 1900 there will be noth-| ing left of that party aftqr 1900." Senator Chandler's article is as fol- | lows: "European bl-metalllsts need not be lieve that the selection o( McKinley and Hobart by overwhelming major- | ities is a dec>sion to permanently ac cedc to the single gold standard. The | Bryan proposition was soon seen by the American voters to be simply that the United States should adopt silver mon ometallism; should deliberately give up all attempts to keep gold and silver J at a parity; should send gold to a pre mium and thereby make it merchan- I dtee merely, and should base all Amer ican prices upon silver only. It can hardly be considered, upon reflection by any true bl-mctalllst, that such' ac tion on our part would have helped the cause of bimetallism in any country in the world. 1 Were Uot Bimetallism. "It is true that the Bryanites called themselves blmetalllsts, and that Mr. Bryan, in bis recent outcry from his temporary political entombment, ad- [ drosses, not the Democrats, nor the J Populists, nor the people, but 'the bi metallism.' This, however, Is a sheer af fectation. No Bryan orator orwriter has seriously denied that Che adoption of his policy?'the immediate, 'unlimited J free colnago of silver by the United States alone'?would send gold to a premium and keep It there for an In definite period. Surely that would be silver monometallism; and can it be contended that sliver monometallism is any better stepping stone to bi-metal Hsm than gold monometallism? I had supposed that it was generally agreed by thoughtful and rational bl-metalllsts everywhere that It would not help, but rather hinder, the cause of bimetallism for the United States to leap at once to free? silver coinage. How, then, can the late decision of the United States against immediate free coinage injure the contest for bl-metallism? Hero the question might be left, but n fuller sur all the causes of the defeat of JJr. Bryan and the election of Mr. Mc kinley may be useful. "Conservative people?and America nas more conservatism than Euro peans think, were alarmed at the char acter of the followers of Mr. Bryan and their doctrines additional to the one favoring free silver coinage. All the Socialists, Anarchists and wild men u fVQly w*h?m Europe has sent us shrieked for Bryan, although the great ???-?. our BcJ?Pte(1 citizens voted for -McKinley. The platform seemed to countenance rioting as a means of re f w of ?rlevancefl. and it made one 01 Ka Planks a reconstruction of the supreme court, in order to change a le gal decision. ?.,"u mflJorit5r American people wish a more energetic foreign policy man they believe will come from anv administration named Democratic.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 20.?It is not probable that the house at the com lnp session of Congress, which begins it \yeekrffrom to-morrow, can dispose of much of the proposed legislation which encumber Its calendnrs. Little is usu ally accomplished at (he short session beyond the paasago oC the regular sup ply bills. Still tho house, with Us in strumentalltlCD for the expedition of i business, can accomplish a great deal j in a brief time. Tho question of leg-" i lslatlon for additional revenues for the government will depend on the senate, I 1 to which body the house sent the Ding i ley bill almost a year ago. Should It j be Impossible, or be deemed inexpedient, to press that measure through the Fen ate there Is, of course, a possibility i that the proposal to Increase the reve nues by an additional tax on beer and the Imposition of a duty on tea, colice, etc., may take tangible form and If so 6uch legislation may originate unuer I the constitution in the lower branch of Congress. , , There are on tho several calendars of the house 1,465 bills reported from the various committees and the proposi tion which will paw at the coming I session must be, necessarily, a.inost in-1 finltessimal. Most of them ar<?, of course, private bills (of which there are 1100), but there are also 2r?8 bills on the calendar on the state of the union and ninety-nine public bills on the regular house calendar. Some of these are 1 of very great public Importance and those interested will no doubt do all in their power to secure action upon them. Tho powers lodged in th?J ' hands of the committee on rules, which give the members of that committee I control of the house programme, wHl i make that committee the practical ar biter of what shall be submitted to the house for Its action. That committee I is composed as at present constituted of tho speaker, Mr. Henderson, of Mr. Dalzell. of Pennsylvania, and Mr. McMillen, of Tennessee. The death of ex-Speaker Crisp ere atus a vacancy at the head of the mi nority of the committee, which must be filled by the speaker. The names principally mentioned in connection with the vacancy are Mr. Bailey, of Texas; Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi; Mr. Turner, oC Georgia; Mr. Richard son, of Tennessee, and Mr. Dockery, o*. | Missouri. Important Bills* The bill, which, In many respects, Is fraught ac tills time with most Inter est, and which, will press hardest for consideration, Is the Pacific railroad funding hill- The wor.Ss guaranteed I by the government are payable early in the coming year and either an exten sion or. a foreclosure stares the 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 \ lrglnla, Is the author, was reported shortly be fore the close of the last session. Ev erythingwill be done by those Interest ed In it to secure consideration. The friends of the Nicaragua Canal are al so bending every energy to secure ac tion on the bill reported by Mr. Doo llttle. which provides for a. guarantee by the United States of $100,000,000 of bonds for the construction of tho ca "The war claims commlttce which showed light on several occasions at the last session, promises to renew their aggressiveness this winter, es pecially for the passage of the claims awarded under the llowjnan act and the French spoliation claims.
