measure. Says
one member of the committees: 1T IS
pretty we'll understood that our peo-
pie are opposed to any further tinker
ing with the bill in the interest OF any
particular interests and districts.
There is no valid reason for any further
delay. and we ought t. get something
definite in the way of information into
the House. 1t is from the Eastern
manufacturers that the greatest pro-
test comes.
There Is a growing suspicion that
Jerry Simpson is going to commence
wearing socks. He has intr, duced u
bill to repeal the duties upon wcoien
yarns and manufactured wtolen goods.
He says if foreign wool is to come in
urtaxed. and the American farmer has
to compete with that, he can see no
good reason why the same farmer
should not have the benefit OF compe-
tition between American and foreign
manufacturers of WOODEN goods.
Senator oeffer's benevolent appear
ance is not belied by his latest act, for
| he has launchod scheme at Cnce phil
anthropic and shrewdly calculated to
further his well-known views regard
| ing silver. He introduces bill to re-
lieve want and distress by distributing
to the poor and needy S0,3W,Wu In
standard silver dollars.
The morals of the people in the Dis
trict of Columbia are eviden:al!y gss-
ting q little questionable: for Mr..
| Mitchell. of Wisconsin. asks. in bill,
that horseracing in the District he pro-
hibited.
| Mr.. Morgan insists that this govern
ment should declare its intention con-
corning the Nicaragua canal. in Justice
| to all concerned. Mr.. Hansbrough. OF
| North Dakota. has Il scheme to eNter-
| inmate the Russian thistle in this
country. He wants $l.MO.WW appro-
| priated fer the purpose. He says that
the Canadian thistle is a blessing colu-
pared with this new pest. 1t was Ia
PRODUCED by Russian immigrants in
South Dakota about fourteen wears ago,
and has overrun fifty counties. He
says it is absolutely worthless. and
eventually chokes out every other
form of vegetation. Even where it
has not gained complete mastery. he
saws. it is necessary to put leather
boots on horses while tilling the soil.
And he wants the nuisance eradicated.
All these and several other minor mat
ters will be energetically pushed lnthe
near future.
