N'kiNlEI NOT A LEADER.

Lawmakers Look In Vain To the white
House for leadership.
From Washington Cor. OF New York
World.
The country n the world may th.nk
that this congress which assembled to-
day is upon the Threshold OF great
events But ms congress itself thinks
that Il Is upon the threshold of the
grave. The members Of both houses
showed plainly to-day in their manner
and private speech that they regarded
themselves as q sort OF mortulry com
mittee to conduct the funeral ceremo-
MES Of the Fifty-hfth congress along
the lines of the long established eti-
quette of short sessions.
There are so many senators who are
not only leaving the senate. but also
leaving public life. There are so many
representatives who have been either
severely punished or defeated outright
by their constituents. There Is no clear
idea Of what the country really
thinks about imperialism. There is a
vague fear OF that change OF public
opinion when the problems of imperial
ism actually press upon the people
a change suggested first IN the World
last week. and much talked about
now.
The republicans who look TO the
white house for leadership read the
message with keen disappointment,
They found that the president Il in the
same state of doubt and uncertainty
as themselves. In the senate h doubt
as to whether or not the peace treaty
can be ratified Is a sufficient excuse
for do-noihingism. In the house Speak
err Reeds attitude toward imperialism
n all imperialistic schemes makes II
useless for the ADMINISTRATORS follow
ers to try to work with enthusiasm.
