CONGRESS has new game. 1t is called
"Greenhack Poker" Any number can
play it. 1t takes dollar bill TO come into
the pot. An ingenious salesman, while
examining some paper money few dai $
ago, discovered that in numbers on the
bills there is likely to be pairs. lO676997
there are two skies, two sevens and two
mines. In less than a minute he had bet
a dollar that this hill had better poker
hand on it than the other fellows. That
started it and now every body in the
capital Sbo has the required stock OF
dollar bills, is pl yiLg. As in poker, the
man with the most pair or threes wins,
Every interger in the bill number can be
utalized. Most of the paper money in
circulation is numbered up in the
millions. Representative Canon, of III
inois. is away ahead. He has, by diligent
search, acquired a bill with four mines
and three skies on it.

THE prospects for the passage of an
isthmian canal bill in the present session
OF Congress are not quite so bright as they
seemed to be few days ago, yet hope Of
favorable action will not he given up. An
overwhelming majority of the American
people want canal built, and they want
it over the Nicaragua route. 1t is well
enough TOR the Senate to give careful ex-
animation to the Panama company's Of
fer, but all discussion which has no pur-
pose except obstruction should be avoid
ed. The country believes that the most
advantageous route is that by way of Mic
aragua, which has been surveyed several
times, and which has been in the minds
OF the people OF the United States for this
purpose for half century.
