OPEN SESSIONS.

This question was discussed in

We see no objection to this
course. 1t has been the practice of
the democratic party in the pas, to

Senator Butler would go still fur

executive sessions to the members
of the presidents cabinet, and in
yite them to participate in the de-
bates on the floor of the chamber.
This is decided step forward. But
there afe dangerous presidents to

proposition. 1t did not work well
in France at one time, and if the
cabinet officer is so minded he can
take great advantage of such privil-
eye to secure the adoption of almost
any measure, however Objectionable.
But aside iron this feature, Senator
Butler has taken solid ground and
his arguments will meet with de-

properly come before an executive

their continuance. Senators them

\ THREATENED Loss OF BUSI.

The change of guage on south.
ern railroads, which, it is expected
will be made in July next, will
bring about some important changes
in the lumber business in the south.
Southern lumber now reaches the
northern markets by sea. 1t is
transported from the mills to the
nearest ports, and sent by sailing
vessels to the northern distributing
points.
This way of getting lumber from
the producer to the consummer is
rather slow. IL has to be handled
several timcs-oncc at the mills,
once, and sometimes twice, at the
port of shipment, generally twice at
the port of its destination, and
finally, once at the place of con.
sumption. 1t has to be insured
agains, the dangers OF the sea, and
frequent landings often cause con.
siderable brcakage. Another draw
back to shipments by sea is the long
time required for lumber to reach
the northern markets after it has
been shipped.
Very little lumber has gone north
by rail for the reason that southern
roads having a different gauge from
tho northern roads, it is rather
troublesome and somewhat expen.
siyc to chance the trucks.
Southern lumbermen say, how.
ever, that when the gauge of the
Southern roads is changed they will
be able to ship lumber wi,hou. break.
ing the bulk direct from their mills
Georgia, Florida or any other south.
ern State to any point in the coun.
try, and that the difference between
the cost Of rail and water transpor.
tatlon will be more than overcome
by the saving that will be effected
in insurance, handling and break
age.
While much of the lumber will
continue to be shipped by sea, there
is no doubt that great deal Of it
will not seek the seaboard for trans.
portation to market when it can be
transported as cheaply and much
more quickly by rail, and southern
lumber ports are bound to suffer a
oonslderblc loss of business. Other
kinds of business, however, will
doubtless take the place Of whatever
part of the lumber business that
may be lost to them. Savanna,
