THE FINAL RALLY.
Defeat of Bond Bill Is Expected to
End Financial Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. There
seems to be little doubt that yester-
days fight was the final rally in the
campaign of the administration Dem
ocrats for financial legislation by this
congress. Members who are supposed
to know the mind of the president say
that he recognizes that it is futile to
attempt to secure any sort of legisla-
ton for the treasury, and they assert
unhesitatingly that he will not again
recommend congressional action of any
sort upon the finances. These Demo-
Gratis are disposed to put upon the Re-
public&ns the blame for the failure of
the resolution reported by the ways
and means committee For their part.
many Republicans who say they would
not have opposed the gold provision in
a bond issue had the proposition been
unencumbered by other factors, explain
their negative votes by saying they
could not assent to a contract made
with private parties for taking the
bonds when they believed the issue
could have been advantageously dis
posed of by public competition in this
country.

President German, of the board of

Il regard the appointment as an ex

City Treasurer Wagner said:
'"The appointment is good one.
There is no question as to Mr.. O'Con-
nor's fitness for the Office. There are
doubtless many good Democrats who
need it more, but that does not reflect

Trouble Brewing in the New
Trunk Line Committee.


CHICAGO, Feb. 15-While Chairman
Caldwell, of the Western trunk line
committee, is industriously patching
up his fences in the West the Canadian
Pacific and Grand Trunk are raising
trouble in the East. The former line
is largely of the opinion that the de-
moralizing tactics of the Grand Trunk
are being actively encouraged by some
of the lines which are members of the
committee. Tangible proof of this is
lacking, and it is we'll for the preserva-
ton of the committee agreement that
it cannot be found. Considerable SYM
pathy is felt by some of the Western
lines for the Grand Trunk, which they
agreement was in process of incuba-
ton. When it looked as though a war
with the Canadian Pacific was inevi-
table there was nothing too much for
the Western lines to do for the Grand
Trunk. Nothing too nice for them to
say of it. Then the Canadian Pacific
made overtures and the Western lines
tossed out the Grand Trunk without
an instant's delay, telling it in so many
words that it was not much of rail-
road anyhow. Since that time the
Grand Trunk has overlooked nothing
that may tend to break up the COM
mittee agreement, and, the Canadian
Pacific believes, is receiving active help
in it's efforts to secure Canadian Pacific
business from some of the committee
lines, which at this late day are begin
ming TO repent of the manner in which
the Grand Trunk was treated. There
is the making of a beautiful row in
the situation as it stands, and one in
stance of cold, hard proof is all the
Canadian Pacific wants to begin the
trouble.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 20.-The pro-

with six sunrise prayers in different
parts of the city. The mammoth tent
at Druid Hill park was fairly we'll
filed at $50 o'clock, the hour named

The report of the general treasurer,

Peoples Union of America, $74, 1916;
liabilities, $24, go, and deficit, 1925,
against a deficit last year of 50, 302.
The financial condition is regarded as
quite satisfactory.

following officers for the ensuing year:
President, John II. Chapman, of Illi-

New Jersey, j. R. Shenstone, of To-

THE LAST PEssIMIsT.

There was once queer little w1zened man,
With a burning and baleful eye.
Whose heart was sore with the hate it held
For the lights that blaze on high.
And when at evening the sun went down,
And the planets in glory shone,
He would dance about In frenZied way
And mutter and curse and groan.
One night when his soul was fiery thing
OF hatred and discomfort,
He put out star that winked at him
His passion had found vent
And night after night as time went by,
The hour of his rapture came;
And star after star was turned as black
AS the Goals that follow flame
Then darker and darker grew the sky,
And madder the weird mans mood,
He swallowed the glories that passed away
AS hungry imp his food
Some nights his horrible fantasy
Would ruin a thousand stars:
Where once had gltttered the gems Of light
CAPPED nothing but bald, black scars
And ever and ever, time went by,
His hunger for gloom increased:
He wiped the diDper from of the sky
That night he had had feast
Then once when his soul was unsasished,
And he hated the thought of day,
This madcap man in his misery
Made ink of the milky way
And still the sun and the moon came up,
Though dim at the ends of space,
While he swore the universe should not bear
One smile upon its face.
And ever his power increased and grew,
Till the moon became his prey,
And with one fell swoop he swamped the sun
And ended the final day
And all men died, save the little fiend,
Who groveled in sore alright;
Then he too, persisted, and dying cried:
"Oh, God for a ray of light!

wHAn TREASURY OFFICIALS SAY
| WASHINGTON, JulT20.-O officers of the
treasury, from Secretary Carlisle down
to his subordinates, who have charge
of banks and the currency, wereyester-
day discussing the threatened boycott,
by the knights of labor, against ma
tional bank notes 1t was about the
only sI5bject talxeCfof. Aftera careful
consideration of the question in all its
| phases Secretary Carlisle expressed
the opinion to one-of his advisers tina t
no serious results would follow
such, a boycott. His conclusion was
basedfupon the figures in regard to the
circulation of national bank notes.
The amount of these outstanding June
1, 1ea0, was only S2O6, 579,49O, and of
this amount about $50, OGO, 900 is held
by banks. National bank notes have
newer been made legal tender by
statute, so that it is true that it would
hs impossible to force any person to
accept them in Individual transactions.
They are, however, available for use
by the government in the payment of
all its obligations, except for interest
on public debt and the redemption of
national currency. They are also re-
ceivable by the government, under sec
ton 5, 182, as taxes excuses for public
lands and for all obligations due the
government, except duties on imports.
Section 5,196 provides that national
banks are compelled to accept these
notes as legal tender.
