The Outlook at Wa &hington.

The outlook at Washington is
not promising, solely because
Caesar has a party, Antony has
party, but Rome has none.
Our present financial troubles
come from three causes, which
may be briefly summed up as
follows:
First-We have very bad finan-
cial laws, passed by Republican
authority, which must be execut-
ed by the President and Secreta-
ry of the Treasury. They may
have been wise when enacted,
but they are now not only un-
wise but fearfully perilous to the
public credit and private busi-
ness, and new conditions compel
their repeal Or modification.
Second-The Democrats have
a majority in the House and are
presumably responsible for legis.
lation. Their leadership has
been so imbecile that it doesn't
know what to do as a responsible
party to meet the emergency,
and if it did know, probably
wouldn't do it.
Third-The Republicans have
127 members of the House, and
they oppose everything and pro-
pose nothing. They prefer bus
mess and industrial distress to
wise legislation while the Demo
Gratis are in power.
These are the causes which
have prevented sound financial
Legislation in Washington. There
are enough honest money Demo
Gratis in the House, who, if sup
ported by the honest money Re-
publicans, could pass a bill any
day that would stop the drain of
gold and restore public conf
dence in every business and in
dustrial circle. but thus far not a
Republican movement has been
made excepting to oppose every
thing that has been presented by
the majority.
The Republicans could move
to amend; could move to substi-
tute; could do anything to per-
feet any financial measure before
the House, but they find the
Democrats divided by Populists
and Agrarians within their ranks,
! as the Republicans will be when
ever they shall be called to re-
sponsible action, and they refuse
, all aid to legislation solely to
} make the majority party appear
responsible before the country.
) The man who is more respon-
sible than all others in the House
to-day for the failure to legislate
\ on the financial question is Thos.
B. Reed, of Maine. He controls
the action of the Republican par
| ty, and has thus far refused to
2 permit it to give any aid what
5 ever to remedial legislation.
Such is the situation at Wash.
, ington.-Philadelphia Times.

mington Messenger, and the Most CouI-
petent Literary Critic and best Judge
of Biography in the State, Thinks of
the Senator's Eulogy.
We have watched with some
interest to see what DIR. T. B.
Kingsbury, of the Wilmington
Messenger. thought of the superb
eulogy of Senator Ransom on his
late colleague, Hon. 2. B. Vance,
and in yesterdays Messenger, DR..
Kingsbury wrote of it gracefully
as follows
We have taken time to read
the address of Senator Ransom,
in the .. S. Senate on January
10Th, upon the late Senator Zeb-
ulon B. Vance, OF blessed mem
ory. Of it's kind it is master
piece. We do not remember to
have ever read one of the very
many addresses in the United
States Congress during the last
fifty years upon departed mem
bers that impressed US more,
that was more complete, in better
style, that surpassed it's por-
trayal Of character. OF course
it was warmly sympathetic, rich
in expressions Of admiration, but
it was really singularly accu-
rate, thorough and most felicitous
analysis of the character and
splendid and manifold gifts of
the illustriouS Senator and
statesman It is one of those
addresses that deserve to become
classical, and to be pigeon-holed
along with those memorable eff
forts in oratory that illustrate a
century and give fame to a peo-
pie. We do not exaggerate, we
think in the least in saying this.
We do not desire to be extreme,
! but to state with candor what our
serious impressions are. We
have delayed two or three days
since reading it before writing OF
it. We doubt much if finer,
completer, more artistic and elab-
orately wrought obitual address
| has ever been pronounced in the
Senate. We read those on Clay,
Webster, Calhoun, Sumner and
many others, but none seemed to
us more admirable, more charm
ingly rhetorical. more exquisitely
happy in personal Inning and
character analysis, more choice
in phraseology or more critically
accurate in style. Senator Black
burn declared of it, in his owl
brief address, that he listened tC
the address delivered by his sur
viving colleague, and it went fa1
to remove the prejudice that
hold against these ceremonials
for never in all my life did heal
the virtues, the merits, the worth
of man more eloquently por
trayed, more fairly and truthful
ly put.

Strange to say the administra
ton currency bill will have the
support, contrary to what was
thought yesterday, of seven or
eight moderate silver Represen-
tatives from the South and a few
from the West. Among them
are Bynum, of Indiana; Catch
ings and Kyle, of Mississippi;
Cabaniss and Tate. of Georgia;
Clark, of Alabama; and perhaps
two or three others. The chances
are now that the bill will pass
the House, but it cannot by any
possibility get through the Sen
ate even if the rules We're
changed. Senator Gallinger op-
posed the gold bond feature.
Senator Pritchard thinks only
those Republicans usually led by
Sherman favor the measure. He
himself objects to the gold bond
provision and the certainty of
contraction if the bill were to
pass in it's present shape. Repre-
sentative AIender rather likes
the feature which requires Gus

not vote for such a bill as this
Representative Henderson says
it will bring no currency to
North Carolina, and would con-
tract the currency of the whole
country.
It is now evident that the Re-
publicans mean to organize the

has received such assurances
from Marion Butler as to make
him claim the latter's vote,

licans frankly say they want the
good committee rooms held by
the Democrats and that they are
tired of annexes and Easements.

Mr.. Robert Barr, a humoriSt
who made a name for himself in
American journalism under the
alias Luke Sharp and has
achieved a more enduring repu-
tation in England under his own

is more astonishing, financially
idiotic, for [ am thoroughly con-

FOURTH OF JULY REGATTA.
Crews That Will Take Part in the
EVents-Clubs All In.

There has been considerable talk
lately of failure on the part of GER
tain boat clubs to enter crews in the
4th of July regatta. That the bows in
the various clubs have risen with one
accord against any such sentiment is
proved by the tact that they have,
without exception, entered crews for
the races. Although the time of prac-
uce has not been very long, the steady
work by all has had ijs effect, and the
boys are in the best Of training.
BY no means less exciting will be
the other races arranged between
crews not belonging 10 regular boat
clubs.
The barge race between crews from
the Honolulu police and Honolulu
Iron Works, the four Dared dinpv
race between two crews from the boat
boys, rowing in the "Alice'' and
'Eleu' respectively, and the whale
BOAT race between crews from the DO
lice and pilot boat boys give promise
OF being both exciting and interest
