GENERAL GRosvENoR's explicit denial
was not needed to convince the public
that there was not word of truth in
the statement that President McKin-
ley was anxious for Congress to finish
the appropriation bills and adjourn, in
order that he might settle the Cuban
question without interference from
Congress. President Mckinley has
never regarded Congress as an impedi-
ment; on the contrary, he has from
the day of his Inauguration treated
every Senator and Representative as
advisers upon whom he had right to
depend, and upon whom he has de-
pended right along. In fact, no Presi-
dent has ever more fully recognized
Congress as coordinate branch of the
Government. Instead of desiring Con-
gress to adjourn and leave him to
handle the Cuban question single-hand-
ed, President Mckinley desires Con-
gress to remain in session and assist
him in settling the Cuban question
properly.

ANENT the idea of the organization

with the approach of spring be-
comes more apparent the good work
that woman, through the village-im-
proyement societies, are accomplish
ing. Streets are cleaner, sidewalks
neater, and trees, curbing, and grass
plots trimmer and in more orderly con-
dition. Everywhere is there evidence
of houswifeliness; of a care both ex-
quisite and aesthesite. Commercial
parts of such towns, with their more
thorough possibilities of becoming rub
bishy, show the improvement even
more than residence streets. Street
cars are kept freer from that bane of
American civilization-spitting; hotels
and halls, churches and theatres, parks
and Fairgrounds, and all other CEN
tres of common interest and activity
come in for share of the benefit, which
somehow shows itself most conspicu.

complish much good also, but the effect

time, and the proofs of what prof

in large ways and means as in small.
