he maintains ms present aCtlCude
towards the Senate he cannot be
accused OF not treating it with
proper respect, as both Cleveland
and Harrison were. Mr.. McKin-
ley is not only trying to keep on
good terms with the Senate as a
body, but also with individual
Senators, regardless of their party.
He has caused it to be intimated
to every Senator that he will al
ways find a cordial welcome at the
White House, and that his advice
will always be listened to when
matters affecting his State are I'M
der consideration. This is about
as radical a change as could pos
sibly have been made from the
practices of the last twelve years.
Among the first opposition Sena-
tors to call on President Mckinley
were German and Mills, neither of
whom had been to the White
House for long time.
While there is a difference of
opinion as to whether the failure
of four appropriation bills, Sun
dry Civil, Agricultural, Indian and
Deficiency, to become laws was
brought about by those who OPP
pose combining the legislation of
the extra session of Congrdss,
which meets next week, to the tar
if, there is none as to the effect of
their failure. Mo2ey will have to
be provided by Congress at the
extra session, but it is now said
that an attempt will be made to do
it by resolution extending cur
rent appropriations instead of by
separate appropriation bills. If
that attempt is made, there will
probably be hot fgght.
Whether President McKinley's
idea of having the extra session of
Congress, in addition to passing
the tariff bill, authorize the APP
pointment OF a non-partisan finan-
cial commission to investigate and
report what is needed in the shape
of changes in our currency laws,
can be put through will depend
entirely upon the attitude the sill
yer Senators take toward the idea.
1t can be put through the House
easy enough.
Senator Wolcot-who is again
occupying his seat in the Senate.

ing to quote him as giving details

cided not tie talk about it, because

The People One of the Most Consersa-

The Swiss people, as consulted by he

of the most conservative of forces. says
the London Daily News 1t has re-
jected, by 1900 to 100, 900. the pro

of these national consultations. The
parts are extremely suspicious of the
whole; the voters rarely fail TO make
short work of all proposals to increase
the federal power. Their first impulse
and usually the last. is 10 say NO. q"
OF twenty-seven laws referred down to
a recent period fifteen were vetoed and
only twelve approved. This probably
accounts for Mr. Balfour's known par

man had a great kindness for this
me cd OF consulting the popular judg-

the Landesgemeinde which is the Swiss
equivalent of the New England town

to small communities than TO large

Avoid Discussing Irritating Subjects at

Why is it that in most households
the dinner table become a dumping
ground for the wholesale plants OF it

from the Others. says the Boston
