1t bad not been for the President
there would have been no such legis.
lation to be enacted by this House.
1t is the power of the President, the
Influence Of the President, his firm
ness and his courage that have
brought this question to the immin.
ence of favorable action by tho Re.
publican majority" This statement
was made by Representative De Ar
mond Of Missouri when the railway
rate bill was under discussion In the
House aud soon after Mr. De Almond
conc uded bis remarks the House
passed the Townsend Esch bill with
only II dissenting votes, six Of which,
unfortunately, were cast by Demo
Gratis. The Democrats signi6sd their
preference for the Davey bill by nrst
voting for that, but when 1t was de-
feated by party vote they aligned
themselves on the side of some pro
gress In the direction Of rate control
and voted for the msjority measure.
As soon as the bill passed the House
it was sent to the Senate and promptly
referred to the committee on Inter.
state Commerce where 1t will doubt.
less remain until this Congress ex
pires. which will mean the death of
the bill Two reasons will cont ribute
to this result. In the hrst place, the
Senate is working under pressure to
complete the Swayne impeachment
case. which is In full blast. and will
doubtless have to hold numerous night
sessions to accomplish tho routine
business before March 4. In the
second place Senator Elkins, chairman
of the committee on Interstate Com
merce. is at heart opposed to any
measure involving real reform Of rail
way rates and, while protesting to be
most friendly, will actually do all in
his power to prevent the accomplish
ment OF such enactment. His position
renders bis opposition powerful and
while, with ample time at the disposal
of the Senate, Mr.. Elkins' opposition |
might be overcome, in the rush of tho |
cI 'sing hours Of short session such a
fight would be impossible.
The President is entirely reconciled
to the unavoidable decay In carrying |
out his recommendations for the rea-
son that he believes that delay will
only serve to whet the demand Of the
public for such legislation and th It
eventually the country will secu eff m

Of course, no trouble In getting the
next House to pass a bill in conformi

demand grows a. rapidly during the
summer recess as it has during the
past few weeks the insistence of the
people will make itself felt even in the

DREADED PNEUMONIA.

It Is noticeable that pneumonia leads
the death list everywhere. For weeks
We have watched the reports of the
Baltimore Sun, and on few occasions
has pneumonia fallen below consump
zion, which disease usually heads the
record. We have come to the conclu-
sion, therefore, that the medical fra
ternity of today does not know how to
handle this disease. and our personal
belief is that they are experimenting
in the hope of finding an efticacious
remedy.
In talking to medical practitioner
few days ago on this subject, he said
that he lived in portion of West
Virginia where the houses are open,
where good nursing is rare, where the
climate is severe, and where of all the
places in the world pneumonia ought
to prove fatal if it is the dread disease
represented, and yet be said that he
had net lost over one per cent. of his
pneumonia cases. and that in cases
where death followed the patient was
generally not normal. or medical aid
was called too late. He declared that
he did not dread pneumonia any more
than chicken pOx, and that be had had
some desperate cases. His treatment
Ia entirely different from the present
treatment resorted to in Baltimore or
any Of the clties-ths orthodox treat.

adult and normal, seven drops of

every two hours until the pulse. which

COMIC OPERA IN RICHMOND.

Mayor Mccarthy of Richmond, is a
very modest man. Any one TO look at
him can tell that. he is known to
seldom take bath because his friends
say, "inodesty forbids." Let that be
as IL may for we are not here to hud
fault with any of the great unwash
ed" he Was accidentally detected
"gCing one eye" on some bill pJsters
Ole day last week, and no soouer was
he thus detected than he immediately
ordered Them torn down. Fearing that
the chorus girls might appear before
the public in costumes similar to some
of those shown on the posters, he has
ordered them TO be arrested by the
police in the event they do SO appear.
But with the bill posters down how is
a policeman to tell whether the Co.'S
tune is the same? A policeman is not
the man to find fault with the costume
of a chorus girl or show lady, and If
left to his own Judgment very few ar
rests usually occur. The Richmond
police will be strange mlnions OF the
law if they undertake to tell any lady
how she must wear her clothes. With
such difficulty staring the mayor in
the face, and the apprehension that
under the Instructions the policeman
may arrest the wrong lady, that is the
lady attired, instead OF the one unat-
tired, for both appear on the posters,
there seems nothing left for the mayor
to do but go himself to the show, and
be his own judge of the situation. 1t
will be amusing, we take it, to see the
honored mayor mount the stage as the
ballet begins,and order the policemen
to catch this one. and that one, and
the other one. and see the crimson
upon his modest cheek as he tries to

DISGRACE OF PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

if he hadn't promised he would have

Graydon pressed his hand to his fore

Lets think, said he. Let's see
what this means. That fellow met me
here this morning. He introduced him
self under the name of Blake and said
he was on the press committee and
would take care of me. was very
grateful, because I'm absolutely green
about this business and hadn't an ac-

to me ever since and has given me

said. They're the ladies in charge of

Miss Lorrimer glanced at the paper
and hurst into uncomfortable laughter.

as soon as she could speak, because
their names have been in the local
paper here a great many times in the
last few days. There has been very

Graydon was pale with rage.

Graydon between his teeth. Then he
suddenly extended his right hand,

Miss Lorrimer caught glimpse of
the face of Stearns, alias Blake, at the
corner of the depot. and the next mo-
ment she was alone and anxiously
awaiting the noise of combat.
Five minutes later Graydon return

NEARLY two years. But I've never

write book notices for the paper during
my last year in college. and the editor
offered me regular job after gradua-

Everybody else was busy replied
