The action Of the House to-day on the
bill lor the erection Of a Congressional Ii
brary indicates that nothing will be done
this session in behalf Of that mucll.necded
structure. Like almost everything else in
the nature Of q public Improvement u,
Washington, it is handicapped with sus
picions Of iobbery at the start, and it is
hard to say which Of the real estate rings

1t is said at the PostoiIice Department
that more changes have recently taken
place in Virginia Postoilices than for twenty
years before. Nothing less was to be ex.
pectcd. The Old Dominion has experienced
greater changes in almost every respect
since the advent Of Malone to power than

ginia, who advocated the passage Of
the resolution in a speech. Mr.. Davis has a
large and increasing personal interest in

and they all agree in the statement that il
the error in tariff, as it now stands, is not
