CUBA NEED expect little from the
next Congress. Representative Serene
E. Payne, OF New York, chairman OF the
House committee on ways and means,
and Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
the mouthpiecs Of former President Nc
Kinley, and one of the leading members
of the House ways and means commit
tee, have arrived in Washington and
say they are fatty opposed to any con-
csssions to Cuba which would iDjure
the beet sugar industry OF the United
States. Mr.. Payne even grows imps-
tIent ct the request of the Cuban dele
cation, now 10 Washington, for q lower
tariff on sugar, and Mr.. Grosvenor says:
I'VE have already done great deal for
them already. We lifted the Spanish
yoke from their shoulders, and they
have shown themselves absolutely un-
grateful. They have manifested no
spirit of appreciation" The deluded
Cubans, now, when too late, realize that
1t would have been better for them TO
have borne the ills they had than to
have flown to others they knew not Of.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

1t ia thought that many members Of
the legislature will be in Richmond by
next Sunday or Monday. A few are
already in town.
The democratic members of each
house will meet Tuesday night to NOM
mate officers. All of those who served
at the last session will prob ably be re.
elected, with one exception. Mr..
Saunders, who was speaker Of the house,
IL no longer a member of that body,
having been appointed to the bench.
Senator Wickhsm will be honored again
with the position Of president pro TEN
OF the senate. He is the oldest member
OF that body in point OF service. The
governors message will be quite G
lengthy one. This will be the govern
or's last message, and it Ia generally
thought be will make some very i'm
portant recommendations as the result
of his careful study OF four years OF the
interests of the State.
The contests are not exciting very
much interest at present. II is gener.
ally concluded that Mr. ]. F. Ryan, Of
Loudoun, will be an easy winner for the
nomination for the speakership OF the
house. 10 fact, it is possible that his
name will be the only one presented to
the house caucus. The present officers
OF the senate and house have no serious
opposition and IL looks very much as II
ell OF them would be renominated.
The contest for the position OF secre.
tary OF the commonwealth is the one
that Ia attracting the greatest attention.
There are six candidates to succeed Mr..
Lawless, who is not q candidate for re-
election. The candidates are State
Senator Eggleston, J. G.. HsnkiDs, the
chief clerk 10 the office for the last If
teen years; Judge w. 8 Gooch, Col B.
U. James, of Richmond; Z. l. Ailworth,
OF Northampton, and r. II. Drummond.
OF Amherst.
The fight for the superintendency OF
the penitentiary is beginning to attract
some attention. Superintendent Helms
says he will be an easy winner. A. W.
Finch, of Botetourt, claims that HE
chances are excellent. He was super
intendent of the State farm up TO about
q year ago when be announced that he
would run against Mr.. Helms. Then
be was asked for his resignation. which
was promptly rendered. The other can
didate is Col. 8. M. Newhouss, the
member Of the house from Cnlpeper,
who has q good many votes pledged to
him.

The SHIP builders of the north are
all counting on the passage of a ship

is too great for them to delay construc-
ton, and they are now pressed for work.
The steel vessel builders on the Great
Lakes are assured year of great activ-
ity. The contracts for 1902 aggregate
a carrying capacity Of 100000 tons.
This will be an addition Of 10 per cent,

TO UNITE DEMOCRATS.

1t is expected that an interesting dis
oussion will occur In the democratic
caucus OF the House of Representatives
tomorrow.
Representative A. 8. BurlesoD, oil
Texas, who Is one of the strong young
men of the minority, now serving o
second term, proposes to Introduce two
resolutions of importance which are
calculated to attract wide attention.
The first provides "thst every Rsp'
resentstive 10 Congress taking part 10
this caucus shall be governed by the
action of said caucus where same does
not conflict with the declaration OF
principles and policies set forth 10 the
last platform adopted by the demo-
cratic party 10 national convention
asse % oled."
The other is, shat the best interests
OF the democratic parry will be sub
served by the mem bership Of said party
In Congress refrsining from soliciting
patronage from the hands OF the Ad.
ministrstion."
This latter resolution is directed at
practice charged to have been common
among democrats during the last Con-
gress. 1t is spoken OF as almost q
scandal that democrats 10 both branches
of Congress sought patronage OF the
appointive power, giving in return, IL lie
alleged, semi.support to or passive
acquiescence In measures absolutely
foreign to democratic principles.
Mr.. Burleson says he believes that 1t
will DO impossible to expect the proper
discharge OF democratic duty when
democratic members abandon the
party's traditions in return for republi'
can favors.

IT Is QUITE generally believed that, by
reason Of the numerous influences now at
work, Congress will this winter authorize the
construction OF the Nicsrsgusn Canal and
that the waterway will cost about $780,
100000. This estimate provides for two
great harbors-One at Groytown, on the At
lantie or Caribbean end Of the canal, and the
other at Brito, at the Pacific end-for canal
Of eight locks. and for sn enormous dam at
Conchuds. or the San Juan river, several
miles above the mouth of the San Carlos
river. This canal will be much longer and
win cost much more money than the Panama
route, while its maintenance and that Of the
locks and harbOrs will be immense, but this
Is the very reason that those engineering the
scheme want the Nicaragusn route selected.
