throughout the country.
While the house passed the Dineley
Dill In two weeks there is no hope that
the senate viii expedite matters as
quickly. The senate is a deliberatlve
body, and does things according to its
own sweet Will Therefore, II the Ding
ley bill gets out of the senate inside n
two months from April l. all its friends
will be agreeably contented.
1t is conceded that the senate will
amend, amend and amend, until the
house will hardly recognize its offsprinp
OF last Wednesday. Then will come tho
tug of war between tho senate ona
house. The latter body must agree on
all the changes the senate mal,as ha-
