so absorbed are the two Houses of Congress-
over the question OF counting the Electoral
vote, that the regular appropriation bills
seem to have fallen considerably behind. At
present, only one appropriation bill has
become law, one awaits the sigma
ture OF the President, seven are in con-
ference, one pending In the House,
two recommitted to House committees
and one Just reported. The time now
remaining 10 so short, that unless the
two Houses Immediately agree upon
some theory OF compromise, and determine
to fllibuster no longer over the Electoral
count, the stern necessity of an extra session
Ia at once apparent. Such a course, It Is
needless to surmise, will undoubtedly be pre-.
judicial to the best interests OF the country,
and most damnlng to the party responsible.
Let US hope for better result.
