The Adjournment of Congress.

Senator Hale OF Maine made the state
ment the other day that he believes Con-
gress will be able to adjourn by June
10 AS usual, il is possible TO hear all
kinds of opinions as to the probable date
of final adjournment. The idea seems to
have gotten quite general that the ses-
sion this year will be a short one, and
more than one Senator has indicated his
belief that the last day of the session
will be one before June l5. The only
argument against this opinion is that
there has not been an adjournment of a
long session for many years in June
But this is pretty good argument Of
Itself.
idea say that the coming summer is to
be hot one. But there is no way TO
prove this in the present development Of
meteorological science.
Another suggestion is that the Repub-
licans have more than the usual anxiety
TO continue in control of the House, and
that they will wish to get away to their
States early as possible to repair
fences.
Mr.. Hale is understood not to have
taken either the weather or politics into
consideration in forming his opinion. He
bases his prediction simply on the celebrity
with which business has been transacted
up TO this time

Beloved BY the Veterans.

Although too young to have served in
the civil war, there is no member of the
House who takes deeper interest in
legislation to advance the cause of old
soldiers than Representative d. Linn
Gooch, of the Sixth Kentucky district.
All the old soldiers in the Blue Grass
State who live in the Sixth Congression-
al district. swear by Representative
Gocch, because he is constantly doing
something for them, Hardly day
passes but he receives a letter from some
veteran, either the blue or the gray
asking him for information, and the re-
quest is complied with without delay. In
Mr. Gooch's opinion the Government can
not do too much for the men who risked
their lives in the dark days of 1861 '65
On pension day in the House the states
man from Kentucky-is is on hand to vote
for every just pension claim reported.
This explains in measure his strength
in his district.

Vaccination in France

New York Tribune-A law has been pro-
mulgated in the official journal of France
which makes vaccination against small
pox compulsory in the first year of a
childs life and requires revaccination at
the age of eleven years, and also ten
years later This appears to be more
sweeping measure than any which have
been adopted on a great scale in other
countries. The French Republic, when it
decides to adopt legislation for the pro-
lection of its people against the ravages
of epidemics. is not in the habit of paus-
ing half way.

Crawford and Marlborough Clubs at Whist

The Crawford Club had the Marlborough
Whist Club as guests Thursday after
noon, and a most enjoyable time was
spent over team play for fours. The
Cranfords had eight teams entered. while
the Yarboroughs had five. making thirteen
in ALL Thirteen matches were played, and
the Crawford team, comprising Mrs. Nc
Crea, Mrs. Ruff. Mrs. Earle, and Mrs. de
Sibour, did the cleverest work, getting
ten and a half matches. The Marlborough
team, comprising Mrs. Stewart. Mrs. Bur-
leigh, Mrs. Goodrich, and Mrs. Carpen-
ter, was second with nine matches. The
individual scores were: Mrs. Earle and
Mrs. de Sibour. 167, leading the east and
west division, while the north and south
contingent was led by Miss King and
Miss Schmidt, with 191 tricks. The play
of the different teams was of a very high
order and the reading of the cards was
for the most part accurate and clever.
During the intermission refreshments
were served.

Hawaii Needs a Leader.

IF there be a change IN the governor
ship of Hawaii. and the preferences of
the masses be given consideration, Dele
gate Wilcox will surely be the ap-
pointe," said Mr. Edgar Caypless. OF tho
Honolulu bar, at the Raleigh.
II have no idea as to whether there
will be a change, and none of the citizens
of Hawaii sojourning in Washington seems
to have any light on the subject. Up to
this time the reasons advanced for the
removal of Governor Dole do not seem to
have very seriously impressed the ap-
pointing power. l noticed an article re-
Gently in Washington paper which said
that In the event of Col Sam Parker's
appointment to the governorship, one of
his first acts would be 10 call special
session of the Legislature for the purpose
of establishing city and county govern
ments This would be a strong argument
in favor of the selection of any man who
would be instrumental in the passage of
such legislation.
''The establishment of county and
municipal governments in Hawaii was
contemplated by the trainers of the or
ganic act, and encouraged by the late
President Mckinley. The language of
the act is today a reproach of Governor
Dole's veto of the county government
bill. passed by the late Legislature OF
Hawaii.
President Roosevelt has expressed him
self as being desirous of harmonizing the
contending factions in the Territory.
This he can do by the selection of a man
who has not been urged as any party's
candidate, and whose appointment would
be acceptable to all parties-a man who
had neither adherents to reward nor en-
emies TO turn down. The name of Hon.
Sam Damon has been suggested as filling
these requirements | do not know him
personally, but believe his appointment
would be eminently satisfactory to the
people"

Fight for a Postmastership.

Col Robert Campbell, of Ell Paso, Tex
as, sat in the lobby of the Ebbitt House
and smoked a good cigar with an air OF
tranquility. while he chatted with friends
as unconcernedly as though he had not
failed in the accomplishment of the mis-
sion that brought him to the Capital.
Col. Campbell is one of the best known
and best liked Of the Republican leaders
of the Lone Star State. He enjoys the
confidence and goodwill of his neighbors.
regardless of party. He has been post
master at the .fourishng border city for
the past four years, and he came to
Washington to make a fight for another
term That fight would have been Site
cessful, no doubt, but for little incident
that happened more than a year ago, an
incident that in no wise reflects upon the
colonel.
In the vernacular of the Rio Grande
region Colonel Campbell and a postof-
fee inspector had ''rucus." The miNup
did not go to the Tillmanic extreme OF
fsticuffs, but the inspector regarded
certain act of the postmaster as piece
of characterization and complained to the
central authority at Washington. In ex
planning his conduct, Colonel Campbell
showed conclusively that what he did was
essential to the preservation of disci-
plne and order in the postofiice. To have
acted differently would have meant the
abdication of his power, and an end OF all
authority.
There was some talk of calling on him
to resign at the time, but President Nc
KinIey couldn't see wherein the colonel
had done wrong. and his hold was
strengthened. 1t seems, however. that
with the changes incident to new Ad-
ministration, the official who originally
collided with the colonel succeeded in
getting majority of the trumps, and Ell
Paso will have a new postmaster.

Mr.. Latimer's Rural Free Delivery Plea.

During the debate on the bill to put
rural delivery Of the mail under the con-
tract system. Representative Latimer
made one of the most forceful arguments
! that has yet been made. He was limited
| to ten minutes, but he made good use
of that time. He has clear melodious
voice, and an earnest, positive manner. He
went TO the heart of the subject at the
first bound stating that II economy was
the object OF the bill, the committee
should have framed a measure putting all
free delivery under the contract system.
We spent he said. this fiscal year about
1900. 900 for pay of rural carriers, and
81, 900 for salaries to city carriers.
Why, he asked, does the committee pro-
pose to continue to pay from $500 to
$1,000 salaries to city carriers, and grind
down the rural carrier to the lowest bid
possible?
rs it possible" Mr. Latimer again
asked, that you have reached that point
when you are willing to admit TO the
American people that service rendered to
the rural population must be of a lower
grade than that enjoyed by the city, and
is the argument to go unchallenged in this
hall that the rural population Is more
easily corrupted by contact with carriers
than it is in cities and for this reason
you propose to eliminate political infiu-
ence by letting the service to the con-
tractor? / repudiate such an argument
with contempt. The purest patriotism,
and greatest freedom of thought and ac-
tion-if contrast shall be made-exists in
the rural districts of this Republic. and
to contend that the mail carriers will
overawe the members of Congress, and un-
duly influence the rural voter is worse
than nonsense. Let us make liberal ap-
preparation for this service. as We have
done for the cities. and throw such safe
guards around the appropriation as will
guarantee to all citizens equality under
the law. and leave the details OF the ser
vice to the department, that il may in
Its wisdom and experience do justice to
all the people"

The Senate's Constitutional Lawyers.


There is nothing like constitutional
question to cause debate in the Senate.
There are a number of excellent consti-
tutional lawyers in the upper house and
they all delight in the discussion Of the
intricacies of the immortal foundation law
of the Government and the precedents
established under it. In addition there
are a number of members of the Senate
who are not filed with legal learning, and,
as Mr.. Bailey said the other day, the less
you know about the Constitution the
easier il is to talk on Constitutional
questions. Under these two classes 1t is
easy TO include the entire membership
OF the Senate.
Last week the question as to .he right
of States to representation in the Senate
was brought up by Mr.. Turner and Mr..
Bailey in behalf of South Carolina. This
week the bill for the protection OF the
President of the United States" has been
quite as fruitful Of opportunity for dis
cussion. Senators Bacon, Culberson, and
Patterson have all had the floor on the
Democratic side, and Senators Hoar and
Spooner on the Republican side. Mr..
Bacon has again brought up the great
Democratic doctrine of States rights"
and contends that the Constitution did not
contemplate a Federal statute for the
punishment of an assault on the Presi-
dent. He asserts that the President was
not considered to be entitled 10 any
greater protection than any other citizen
under republican form of government.

was a worthy one.

happy.
