DELAY IS DANGEROUS.

The senate's delay in acting upon the
bill to repeal the Sherman law is begin
ming to iniure the countrys business in
terests and threaten returning prosperity
A vote should be taken at once
There is a clear and strong majority IN
favor of repeal, and a small minority,
composed almost entirely of republican
senators from silver states who are at
work mainly for self, should not be
allowed to clog the wheels of legislation
and precipitate another panic upon the
country.
The house passed the repeal bill very
promptly, and on the strength OF it the
sontbs great product, cotton, went up
cent and half a pound. The tie up in
the senate is causing lower prices again,
and there is not likely to be reaction
until the senate comes to its senses and
makes some disposition of the financial
question.
There is no doubt but that the senate
will pc SIS the repeal bill when vote is
finally reached. This is a prediction
based on the best information that the
situation presents.
1t will be observed that not only ali
the dilatory devices and all the log-roll-
ing schemes, but all the confusing talk
of compromise has come from the mi
nority. The advocates ofrepeal have not
weakened and have not changed their
policy. Among them are the Oldest and
most respected members OF the senate,
who are most concerned to preserve its
traditions of deliberation and cOur-
tesy. But they are also concerned to
preserve It's dignity and authority and its
powers as a legislative body, and these
are the men who can be trusted to bring
the fruitless discussion to an end in due
tire.
The delay is very annoying and even
dangerous, but there is nothing for it but
to wait in patience. We have believed
from the first that the senate would event
ual Y pass the repeal bill, for the reason
that it could donothing else, and now we
believe that the end is nearer than it APP
pears even t, many Of those upon the
spot.
Our in Texas the wood are full of
illegally married people. 1t has just
been discovered that there have been
over one thousand illegal marriages in
Bowie county, some of them the most
prominent people in the state. For
more than ten years prior to January
last it has been the custom of the county
clerks, for the general convenience OF
people desiring to be married, to fill out
married license in blank and leave the
same with the justice of the peace in

to persons making application for such
license, the justice filling out the name
of the desired party and collecting the
legal fees. The court holds such mar

quently void.

Snow.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-Not since the ter
rible fall Of snow five years ago has New
York experienced storm that so near
ly resembled regular Dakota blizzard
as that which has been blowing here
since early last night. Traffic on Broad
way has been almost suspended, while
on some Of the less prominent thorough
fares the blockade is complete. In
some places the snow has drifted until
it is four or five feet deep It began to
grow colder yesterday towards the mid
die of the afternoon, and the leaden-
colored clouds, which had been
gathering since morning, assumed a
troubled threatening look. The wind
was uneasy and blew IN fierce gusts.
During the early evening the snow
flakes, which had been struggling down
all afternoon, began to fall fast and
furious. The snow became fine as dust
as it increased in volume. The wind
blew hard, whirling the dust like snow
through the streets until one
lamps block away. Through
out the night the elevated trains rolled
along at half their usual speed, while at
times the surface cars were blocked
several minutes by the rapidly forming
drifts. A few trucks rolled over the
pavements, making scarcely any noise,
while the truck wheels were circled
with broad bands of snow.
