What Congress Faces.

When the Fifty.ninth Congress
assemblies, whether in extra or
regular session, in October or
December. it will face an almost
appalling array of neglected duties
-of duties that have only been
rendered more imperative by rea.
son of neglect. But as the Fifty
ninth Congress will be largely
composed of the Legislators and
absolutely dominated by the lead
ers who, in past Congresses, created
this embarrassing situation, the
prospect for an improvement is not
extremely brilliant.
The rapid growth of the United
States in population, business, and
wealth has added very largely to
the work of Congress, and the
radical changes in transportation,
trade, and manufactures have
rendered the work more difficult
The acquisition of SPANS insuIar
possessions, with their seven or
eight millions of people, for whom
Congress is bound to Iegislate, has
still further increased not only the
amount. but the complexity, of the
situation. And while all this has
been going on. and Congress after
Congress has been RELOCATING more
and more of its urgent business TO
the future, there has been a grow
ing reluctance on the part of
Representatives to assume respon-
sibilities. 1t happens that the long
session of each Congress-the only
regular session in which there is
time to do much business beyond
passing the supply bills-is always
held on the eve of the Congressional
election. Before that session ends,
most of the nominations for Con-
gress are made. Aspirants for re-
election leave Washington early in
summer to enter on their respeo
tive campaigns. Many of them
are afraid to go on record upon
important questions, and this is,
perhaps. the chief reason why SO
many measures are lodged, evaded,
or shirked. Democrat.
The fluctuations of the "stand
patter" are many and now Germany
has added one more. The Treasury
deficit was bad enough. the vora-
ciousness of the trusts was worse,
and now comes Germany and de-
clares her intention of assessing q
high discriminating duty on Ameri-
can products in retaliation for the
Dingley tariff act. OF course
most of Germany's impor' ations
from the United States consist of
wheat, -four and other agricultural
products so that it is only the far
mers and not the trusts that will
suffer from the discrimination, but
even the farmers may weary of
continually contributing to the
profits of the trusts. Even the
worm has been known to turn
The general public have no idea
of the Importance of the independ-
emit telephone lines in this State

concerned. The independent COM
panies have over $4,000 telephones
in use in this state and they are
distributed over a wide extent of
