WAsHlNeTon, April Is.

The House of Representatives yester-
Eday decided, sub siientio, by decided
majority, against postponement to the
next session Of a revision Of the Tariff Of
Duties on imports.
| A motion was Immediately laid on the
table, looking to System Of Internal Tax
alton.
We do not consider the decision, above
mentioned, as conclusive of the intention
of the House Of Representatives finally to
act on the bill, during the session, but
expressive Of their desire to do SO.
A decision was contemporaneously had
in the Senate, favorable to the Manufac.
turing interest, requiring the army to be
clothed exclusively in articles of Domes-
tic Manufacture.
A bill has been reported in the House
of Representatives, authorising Loan Of
Two Millions of dollars for the current
year, and for other purposes. The other
purposes" are, that such part Of the appro-
priation Of ten millions OF dollars for the
year 1920, for the payment of the inter-
est, and reimbursement Of the principal of
the public Debt of the u S. as shall re-
main unexpended on the 2lst day of Dec.
1920, shall on that day be carried to the
credit Of the surplus fund.
The bill for the relief Of the Surviving
Officers Of the revolution has been re-
jected 10 the House of Representatives;
we may say, decisiuely rejected for after
its failure, on the exhibition Of such zeal
aud ability in its favor, backed by the
unwearied industry of special agent in
its support, there is little hope of its ever
being again brought forward with pros
pect of success.
The report of the committee Of Ways
and Means, in the House Of Representa-
tives. which accompanied the bill reported
on Friday, for authorship loan Of two
millions of dollars, is not less interesting
than any document Of the present con-
gress. II presents view Of the state OF
the treasury, of the public revenue, and
OF the appropriations made for the service
Of the year 1920. The balance Of income
at the end Of the last year, it appears, .af-
ter paying all expences, was 767,850 dol
lars ; the availabls funds in the treasury,
245,665 dollars The means available
for the service Of the year 1920, including
the last item. are estimated at 22,525,665
dollars. The total amount Of expendi-
lures authorised by law for the year 1920,
including the ten millions Of the sinking
fund, is estimated at 26,29e, l64 dollars;
leaving deficiency Of means, for the year
1920, Of 3.773,4o8 dollars.

Enter creditor, arms folded, eyes cast down
in deep thought.
To sue, or not TO sue, that is the question -
Whether tits better for a creditor
To suffer pressure from long standing bills:
Or leave them boldly in lawyers hands,
Although We risk the loss Of customer.
But we may thus security obtain, -
And end the heart ache and the thousand shock,
The Speculation, and the hard drove man
Is heir to tits sure a contamination
Sincerely to be wished.-To dun-to sue
Perchance TO pay the cost Ay, there's the rub /:
For in the law, such dreadful fees may come.
When we once enter its dark labyrinth
Must give US pause. There's the respect
That makes our credits OF such tedious len 9Th
For who would bear our debtors long delay,

Our very favour breeding insolence p
When we al once might make ourselves m ost sure

" no then these lilo would tamely suffer
OF losing money by long .wnded debtors,
And paying premiums and rene wing notes,
And al each door sweating TO borrow cash p
But that the dread OF goisg into law
That most uncertain refuge, from whose maze
The Plaintiff oft so shabbily returns
Puzzles the will-protracts our credit,
And makes US rather bear the debts we have
Than hazard others, that we know not Of
Thus does apprehension make us towards,
Aud thus we often lose our honest dues,
And with them, enterprises of great pith,
From mere dread Oh entering on an action
But III no longer fe ar--l'l press the slow
And tardy paymaster--for tits better
