Washington. April 12-The house will
continue its program of three day ad-
journments this week. Jerry Simpson,
of Kansas viii embarrass the majority
as much as possible by requiring q
quorum to approve the journal, but
will have little aid from the Democrats
II the spirit of the resolution adopted
by the Democratic caucus on Satur-

Republicans win be slight. 1t may be
that owing to the urgency of Tue case
the leaders may deem It advisable
when the house meets on Wednesday
to take up the armor plate question in
some form, but nothing has yet been
decided.
The outlook for the week in the sem
ate is so befosged by the situation with
reference to committee reorganization
that 1t is impossible to forecast the
proceedings with any degree Of ac-
curacy. There is a possibility that this
question may consume freat deal Of
attention, and if It is not satisfactorily
disposed Of it may be used 10 prevent
effort to secure action on important
measures.
Aside from the matter Of reorganiza-
tion there are four important questions
before the senate. These are the Nor
gan Cuban resolution, the bankruptcy
bill, the Auglo-American arbitration
treaty and the appropriation bills.
Senator Davies, chairman Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said today
that he was hopeful of securing con-
sideration for the treaty some time
during the week. He refuses to make
any predictions as to the result OF the
final vote or when that vote win be
reached.

Following fast upon the attack on the

sala. The Turkish corps from Trikkala
ought to strike Constantines left by to-

that he true the chance for the Mohamme-
dams to take the Greeks in the rear should

ably shuts out all hope for the Greeks in

senator Elkins ON Prosperity.


Very nearly everybody in the country
in the cities of it, at any rate will recall
the small and agile Republican sticking
plaster that used to adorn walls and
hitching posts during the Presidential
campaign of 1896 1t carried the comfort
ing legend: "A vote for Mckinley is q
earn iti'' The sticking plaster and other
educational devices, much assisted by
ixteen-million-dollaT campaign fund, had
their effect The necessary votes were
cast, or, at least, counted, for Mckinley;
and the voters have a right to expect
that, inasmuch as we have the candidate
associated with the adhesive prophecy, the
honest money and the promised chance
to earn it, ought also to he on hand.
Considered from this point OF view,
thereis something strange and weird about
the public utterances of leading Republi-
can magnates at the present time. For
example, that self-sacrificing patriot and
philanthropist. Senator Elkins, Of West
Virginia, in Cincinnati interview recently
said: Wages must go down. wage-earners
is so. wagesin America stand against any
revival OF business"
Mr. Elkins is no worse than others. His
frankness may appear TO verge upon bru-
tality, but il is much better to have 1t SO.
1t is time that the wage-earners OF the
United States should awaken from the
trance Tito which many OF them were
thrown by promises and pledges of McKin-
ley prosperity. They may as well realize
now as at any future time that, with the
advancing contraction of money in this
country under the Mckinley gold standard.
and the still more rapidly increasing demand
for nIoncy for interest, debts, and taxes,
as well as for ordinary business uses, wages
indeed must fall and fall disastrously to
those who depend upon them for their daily
existence.
Relative to this important question in
his own State of West Virginia, Senator
EIkins announces a solution which will
commend itself to the wage-earners who
helped him to carry that commonwealth
into the Mckinley column. He finds that
the way to solve the cheap labor problem
In that locality is to employ negro labor
in the mines. That will make the State
safely Republican, and reduce the expense
OF mining tc within the limits prescribed
by conditions OF Mckinley prosperity. OF
course the process will throw out OF en-
ployment and beggar many thousands Of
white miners and iaborers; but the two
great principles, OF pauperized labor
and reliable Republicanism, will be con-
served. Speaking of the change, the Sem
ator says it is firmly established already:
'.It is as effective as white labor, and
does not combine and conspire, and the
negro spends all he makes;'' while his
white rival saves whatever he can.
The lesson of all this seems to teach
itself without requiring any comment.

There are grave reasons for thinking
that the whole present trend OF the Joint
imperial policy In Europe is directed to
the purpose OF seeing how much the British
empire can be made to stand without
fighting. We suggested Thursday, that
the fighting point might be reached quite
soon. In consequence of some understanding
between England and France, relative
to the Eastern Question, which the warn
