WANT TO GET AWAY
Democrats Think an Adjournment Would
Stop the ARMIES" Coming Here
They Will, Therefore, Try to Expe.
Finish Matters by July 4.

The indications are that the Coxey move
ment and the general disorder among the
unemployed in various parts Of the coun-
try are going to have considerable influence
over the tariff legislation. 1t will not affect
the schedules in the tariff bill, and there
is 10 probability that any legislation ad-
vocated by the Coxeyites will receive any
consideration. The fact, however, that
there is so much disorder in the country
and people are marching upon the national
capital for the purpose of pressing upon Con-
gress all sorts of measures will probably
operate to hasten an ending of the session.
1t Is appreciated that as long ss Congress
is in session the agitation will be kept UP,
and it is altogether probable that the
troubles will grow with progress of the
agitation. This consideration is already
impressing itself upon the minds of con-
servative men in Congress, and the feeling
is rapidly gaining ground that an early
adjournment of Congress will be greatly
to the interest of the country, in checking
the movements inaugurated to procure
legislation. 1t is believed that the presence
or Congress in session is a temptation to
agitators to demand that this thing or that
be done "for the relief Of the people" and
that If Congress should clear up it's legiti-
mate business and adjourn the country
would very soon quiet down and no more
be heard OF armies marching upon Wash
iEgton.
Democrats Anxious to Get Away.
The democrats are undoubtedly anxious
to get their work done and get away. II
they could bring about an adjournment BY
the 4th of July 1t would greatly delight
them.
In view of the possibilities Of evil coming
from a long session, with the unemployed
knocking at the doors Of the Capitol and
business almost suspended on account of
the uncertainty as to what legislation may
be enacted to make or mar trade, IT Is not
improbable that minor considerations of
partisanship may be put aside and the busi-
ness of Congress be expedited.
A Solid Front in the Senate.
The democrats in the Senate have practi-
cally agreed in support of their tariff propo-
sition' and will probably present a solid
front in the fight from this time forward.
even Hill acting with his party. Some of
the republicans are anxious to prolong the
fight over the tariff as long as possible, but
1t is not thought they will adhere to this
purpose. in view of the fact that they con-
fess that by so doing they cannot prevent
nearly half of their party in the Senate are
opposed to any unnecessary delay and will
not take part in any dilatory motions This
situation and the evident effect the presence
Of Congress in session has upon the dis
satisfied and unemployed people Of the
country is expected to hasten an adjourn

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
Brief Meeting of the senate Commit

Brief Meeting of the senate Commit
Senator Harris yesterday notified the
members Of the Senate District committee

However, a Double Quarantine In
spectiOn Against Ships From Lisbon.
Surgeon General Wyman Of the marine
hospital service has been informed that
cholera has made its appearance at Lis
bon and in the Austrian province Of Cali
cia The consul general at Lisbon reports
that the epidemic is cholerine, that no
deaths had yet occurred and that vessels
clearing from the port were receiving clean
cases can hardly be called an early start
of cholera for the year, as there have been
cases through the winter at St. Petersburg,
and others are reported in Spain. The re-
ports today are about the first, however,
since the opening of spring. We will take
every precaution against the introduction
of the disease. While the Lisbon cases are
cholerine, we look upon that with suspicion.
Ships from Lisbon will be subjected to
double quarantine inspection. once on the
other side and again on landing here"

GEN. DUMONT's PLACE.
Said to BE Willing to Retire In Favor
of q Younger Man. "a

It Is said at the Treasury Department
that change will be made before very long
in the office of inspector general of the
steamboat inspection service, which las
been filled so acceptably for many years by
Gen. James A. Dumont of New York. He
has reached ripe old age, and is said to
be perfectly willing to retire in favor Of a
younger and more active man. He is re-
publican in politics, but has proved such an
efficient officer that he was retained
throughout the last democratic administra-
ton in spite of the strenuous efforts made
for his removal, and he would probably
serve on throughout the present administra-
ton were 1t not for his advanced age. AL
though there is no immediate prospect OF a
change in the office, several candidates for
the appointment have already appeared, of
which, however, ex-Mayor Dewitt c. Cregier
of Chicago seems to be making the most
active canvass.

THE OLD LADY IS DEAD.
Her Pension Bill Passed Today, bu
1t Was Too Late.

The old lady's pension bill was passed to-
day, but 1t came too late. She is dead. The
House became Industrious this morning, and
passed number of pension bills. Among
them was one which recited that the pro-
posed beneficiary was the widow of a SOL
der Of the war Of 1872; that she was ninety
six years old and nearly blind. The bill was
read by the clerk in his sing-song tone the
members chatted and laughed and paid no
attention. Only one man looked up from
the papers before him.
THE question is on the engrossment and
third reading Of the bill." said the Speaker.
Never mind. Mr.. Speaker" said Mr.. Tay-
lor of Indiana, that bill can be laid aside;
the old lady Is dead"
There was moments silence in the
House, everybody looked sorry, and then
the incident was forgotten. The clerk pro-
ceeded In his sing-song tone, and the old
ladys bill has at last got off the calendar.

views of the other Parties.

LONDON, April 27.-Commenting upon
the Samoan position, the Times this morn
Ing says 1t does not doubt that New Zea-
land would administer the government of
the Islands with impartiality, but thinks
that past experience would not much avail
her In dealing with the complicated Sa-
moan problem. The paper adds that the
main difficulty, however, Is that Great
Britain would be held responsible for New
Zealand's doings. Great Britain mas no
desire to undertake. even by proxy. the
task of unraveling the Samoan tangle.
Continuing. the Times says that 1t will
probably become the duty of the foreign
ofnce to ascertain the feeling Of Germany
and the United States on the subject, but
the uneasy chauvinists abroad may be as
sured that Great Britain Is in no hurry
to force the inclinations Of either power.
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin
says that both Official circles and the po-
ltical world at large realize the anomaly
OF the tripartite government of Samoa.
There Is no reason to doubt that Germany
would hail with delight and satisfaction a
final settlement Of the question.
Public opinion IL divided into two distinct
camps, but 1t must be confessed that the
party advocating q German protectorate
are in a very small minority made up
chiefly of colonial enthusiasts who are
| not dismayed by the mishaps Of recent
years. A far larger party desire to free
moan ENHANCEMENT. and are contented
that the government can perfectly well
guard German interests in Samoa even
IL the sole protectorate Of the islands is
not assigned to Germany.
A dispatch to the Post from Berlin de-
clares that the views expressed by the
Vossische Zeitung on the Samoan ques-
ton coincide with those held by all reason
able Germans. 1t adds that the govern
ment probably holds the same opinion, but
the present is a peculiarly awkward mo-
ment for the opening Of difficult colonial
questions affecting the relations of Ger
many to foreign powers.

of the Tripartite Agreement.
The President In a few days will submit

pondence between the three treaty powers
concerning the administration of affairs in
Samoa since 1890. This correspondence
shows that UP to date no formal PROPOSE

partment by the representatives of Great
Britain or Germany looking to the annexa-
ton or dissolution of the tripartite alliance
and the annexation of the islands to Great
Britain or Germany. Unless President
Cleveland sees fit to send with these papers

this entangled alliance" as he described

already moved in the matter. may deal with

THE sENATORshlP.

As the Progress pointed out in an
editorial last week Senator ShOup is
the logical candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed himself.
There was time when the senatorial
situation was some what complicated,
but just now the skies are clear and the
strong probabilities are that Senator
Shoup will be elected by good major
ity on the first ballot. This would be a
fitting compliment to the able and con.
scientious services Senator ShOup has
rendered both the State of Idaho and
the Republican party. In labors most
abundant, in loyalty most unflinching,
in character unimpeachable, Senator
Shoup looms high in the esteem of the
people, and could a popular vote be
taken today as to who should 60 to the
Senate, Shoup would receive an over
whelming majority. He has not been
alone the champion of silver, but the
champion of every Idaho industry.
When the silver question trembled in
the balance Senator Shoup stood at his
post and helped lead what everyone
knew was a forlorn hope with an
energy and determination that COM
manded the respect even of his adver-
saries. It was owing largely to his
earnest labor that lead was not put on
the free list and that prunes were not
cut so low that the industry would be
of no account in this state. AS de-
partment worker Senator Shoup has no
superior in the entire Senate, and so
great is his popularity with all the
heads of the departments that when
Senator Shoup espouses cause for his
constituents he has their cordial coop
Grafton. What Idaho wants in the
Senate is not so much man that can
make high-flown speeches, and pose for
newspaper effect before the country,
but one who will do solid work to ad-
vance the interests of the state, and one
who has influence to make his work
effective. Such man is Senator ShOup.
and the Progress predicts that he will
have an easy victory when the legisla-
ture meets next January.-Nampa

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT

THE CREAM OF CURRENT THOUGHT.
Public Opinion, published at Wash
ington, D. e., is a weekly journal de-
voted to the reproduction, in condensed
form, of carefully selected magazine
articles and of editorial comment from
the representative daily and weekly
press of all political parties, and from
all parts of the country. The readers
of Public Opinion get all sides of every
question. 1t is just the paper that the
farmer and villager need for general
reading. 1t keeps its readers fully
abreast of the times and supplies them
with the best thought of the day in the
fields of American affairs, foreign
affairs, sociology, commerce, finance
religion, science, education, art and
new books. Public Opinion and The
TRIBUNE supplement each other ad-
mirably. Together they give the farm
er or villager and his family more of
current news, editorial comment, and
magazine literature than can be had in
any other way for five times their cost.
The price of Public Opinion has been
reduced from $500 to $3.50 per year.
We have just completed arrangements
by which we can offer Public Opinion
and The TRIBUNE for 81 cash per year.
