HARRIS WILL ACT.
The Democratic Leader To Demand Night
5zags Sessions.

WASHINGTON, June 4.The sugar
schedule will again this week be the
central point around which the pro-
.ceedings in the senate will revolve.
Among numerous senator's who we're
asked for their opinion as to when the
debate on this schedule would cease.
not one would attempt to fix definite
time. The discussion has already pro-
ceeded for three days, which was the
utmost time that Democratic senator's
would admit before the debate was le-
gun would be necessary to reach a YER:
dict. Among other lines OF policy
which have been conversed among the
opponents of the bill is that of allowing
the sugar schedule >~.. - -.
To He Accepted as Amended
by the committee on finance without
taking any vote on the schedule in COM
mittee of the whole, the OBJECT being
that the opponents of the bill shall not
be forced to show their hands at this
time, and especially that they may re-
frain from exhibiting their supposed
strength among Democrats and Popu-
list senators. Senator Harris adheres
to his determination to ask the senate
to prolong its daily sessions into the
evening. Some of the Repu blican SEN
ators have taken his notice to mean that
he will ask the senate to sit until the
sugar schedule
Shall BE Disposed of,
but conversation with him and with
other Democratic senators indicates
that his purpose is hardly SO definite,
but the intention is to press as near to
the goal as it may be possible to do.
Senator Harris said that when the
night sessions were once begun they
would be continued until the bill
should be finally disposed of. Mean
time they will maintain their efforts to
get the Republicans to agree to fx a
day for the final vote.

muddled in the domestic affairs of the
Islands until IL became involved in a hope

Congress to help it out of it's awkward posi-

people. dares not tell the President and
Minister Willis to go ahead with the inter-
ference policy. For fear of the President
and political disadvantage T. dares not tell
him directly to quit interfering So Con-

Considerable comment has been made on
the fact that the military board of Virginia
has ordered that the uniform of the Vir-
ginia state troops be changed; that the
state uniform be laid aside and that in
future the National 0uardsmen shall be
clad in the regulation fatigue uniform worn
by the army and the National Guard Of
other states. The action Of Virginia's mill
tary board is far from extraordinary. There
is no prejudice against the loyal blue il
Virginia, so there is therefore no reason
why Virginia's soldiers should not wear the
clothing which Is deemed satisfactory in
nearly IL not quite all the subdivisions of
this country. Gov. O'Ferrall has set a good
example, If an example was needed. by
ordering a radical change In the uniform of
his staff. Heretofore the members of that
organization have been attired In gray.
but from this time forth they will appear
on occasions In full dress outfits that will
resemble in every respect the full dress
uniforms of officers of the regular army.

Seven to One.

Out in a merry western state
There dwelt an Intellectual madam
Who. when new fads were started round.
With great acuteness. often had 'em.
Her chief concern was ''Woman's rights"
And with patience rarely noted.
She cheered her little band along,
Until, at last, she really voted.
Her step was proud, when at the polls,
She gave her principles expression.
She went there with opinions firm,
Resolved to hear of no concession.
But good intentions often stray,
Mistakes will win, while wise men wonder.
She found-and shed a little tear
Her single vote was quite showed under.
Across the line, not far away,
Another woman lived obscurely.
She read the papers. as they came,
And told her views, though most demurely.
The scenes Of public toll she Stunned.
But gave the love which tones and mel
lows
To sons who sprang up. lad by lad,
Till they were seven manly fellows.
And In the twilight Of her life
She pondered well, while she was resting
To make her mind up on some points
The Villagers were then contesting
She couldn't vote. but still they had
The benefit of her reflection;
For seven men went mothers way
And seven carried the election.

Bad weather always calls attention to
bad roads, and as there are several defective
highways leading from Maryland and Nir-
ginia into the District of Columbia there
Is a good deal of popular interest in the
agitation which has for its object a great
public betterment The only persons who
offer any objection to the proposed work
are those who fear the expense and insist
that very many counties cannot afford to
invest heavily In the Notwithstanding
business. Touching upon this important
topic :he Engineering News says that 1.-The
advantages Of properly-built and well-main-
tanned dirt roads seem to have been largely
overlooked in the movement for the i'm
provement Of our country roads, and 1t has
been said. with some reason. that the move
ment in favor of good roads has been ham,
pered to some extent by a somewhat too
enthusiastic advocacy of broken stone roads,
either macadam or telford. The cost of
such stone roads is absolutely prohibitive
OF their adoption in many parts of the
country, where. however. improved roads
are urgently needed. Comparatively little
is said about dirt roads in the discussion on
improved construction. but it is certain that
very excellent roads may be made of earth
by a proper system of construction" This
~
eood roads should see to 1t that such an
obstacle as that limited at is removed by
the advocacy of carefully-made dirt roads
in regions where the more permanent high
ways are not now possible.
The cost of maintenance of a scientifi-
cally- constructed dirt road is but small and
the returns are large. But. as the Engineer
ing News says, the mere dumping of piles
OF earth In wet spots or low places Is not
maintenance; It is mere waste of energy
due to careiessness or misdirected zeal.
The expert insists and reasonably. that with
a good dirt road once completed II would be
found economical and advantageous to in
trust its maintenance to few skilled and
Intelligent men paid for their services. in
stead OF leaving the maintenance to the
spasmodic attention of the farmers and
their hired men.
