The President has concluded his
message aud has sent il to the
printer. Most of the members Of
Congress have arrived in Washing
ton and everything is in readiness
for the short session which will con-
vene on Monday.
From the remarks made at the
White House and among the Cabi.
net officers il appears that the vest.
ed interest OF the country have sue.
ceeded in soaring the President out
OF making any important recon-
mendations in his annual message
and in preventing him from express
ing in his usual forcible style his
convictions that the tariff needs
revising and the trusts need drastic
measures to effect their control.
"a conservative communication" is
the description heard on all sides,
which means that it will be milk
and water communication ~ might
be anticipated from q man whose
chief aim is the presidential nomina-
ton two years hence.
III
There will be no attempt to
amend the present tariff law at the
short session. Even the tariff on
anthracite coal, which the Secre-
tary OF the Navy has pronounced
infamous, will be allowed to
stand, the plea being that the time
is too short to permit of intelligent
action. The. time will not be too
short, however, for the considera-
ton and passage Of the ship sub.
sidy bill, according to leading Re-
publicans. The lobby which will
come to Washington to secure the
passage Of that measure will far
outweigh, in the eyes of R.publi-
can members. the interests OF the
people at large.
Notwithstanding the short time At
the disposal Of the Fifty. seventh
Congress an earnest effort will be
made to pass the Fowler currency
bill, measure so ubiquitous that the
Republicans dared not consider il
when an election was pending.
The Anti-Anarchy bill will also be
taken up and, tits predicted, passed.
Appropriations on the usual ex-
travagant scale of Republican mai.
critics will be made and, with a de.
pleted treasury, the members of the
Fifty seventh Congress will seek
their homes with the knowledge of
having performed the duties for
which they were elected.

There is a great feeling of confid-
ence among the Democratic mem
bers and senator's who are .assembl-
ing in Washington this week. They
all believe that the Republican party
is about to demonstrate to the peo.
pie its inability to legislate for the
interests of any but a comparatively
few capitalists and they are con
fident that the good sense of the
American people will cause them to
revolt and will result in a Demo.

He runs as II his freedom were al stake

Through the day he wildly hurries while
the seconds trickle past.
With bulging veins he PUSHES here and

Too busy 10 see that the day Is fair.

He hurrles tin they leave him in his grave

These are days in which there is
some satisfaction in being a vege.
tartan. To give up animal foods is
hardly a sacrifice, inasmuch as nearly
all of them are counterfeited, more or
less successfully, by plant products
of one kind or another. Many such
substitutes have been patented within
the last two or three years, and their
sale hast attained great proportions,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post
From the vegetarian viewpoint all
animal foods are harmful and even
dangerous. Meat is peril to the d.
gestion, say the vegetarians; milk and
butter are loaded with germs Of con-
sumption and typhoid; and even the
innocent-looking egg may be a patho.
genie bomb. Hence the Importance Of
relying upon plants exclusively for
sustenance.

ascertained that meat substitutes can

Dexter saw his father coming. He

awe of the aristoeratic old gentle

toward his boy, and yet all confident
that he would take DeXter's hand and
give him welcome home. Col. Hen
