ADJOURNMENT NEAR.

The signs which always portend the
near approach of adjournment of con-
gress have made their appearance, and
through the prediction of Senator Hale,
who in the absence of Senator Allison
is in charge of appropriations on be-
half of the senate, that Friday will
bring the end may not be literally full
filled, It may be confidently stated
that adjournment is now a matter OF
only a few days.
II is true that a great deal of bust
ness remains TO be disposed of, but
for the most part II is in such shape
that much time is not required. The
three important measures. rate con-
troll, meat inspection and pure food.

first two controversy has been mar

there is likely to be little time-con-

a disposition TO utilize the now domi-
nant desire to adjourn, which there Is
evidence has been their plan since
the bill passed the senate nearly two
months ago.
But the congressional decks are al
ready being cleared. The remaining
work on the appropriation bills is to be
rushed Night sessions will be held
and then adjournment will be only a
matter of hours. II is inevitable that
some measures Of large but not of
prime Importance will fail. as always
happens, but enough legislation on
vital concerns is now assured to make
this session a memorable one.

The enterprise of Lincoln in sending
a specially commissioned sleuth up to
Omaha to nose around the assessments

The decision of the supreme court
that fraternal and local insurance So
cieties may offset their obligations to
members against their reserve funds
for taxation under the Nebraska reve-
nue. law. gives reason to hope that
some day we may yet have a sound
ruling on the taxation of mortgages
and other credits which in reality rep
resent only part ownership in tangible
property already taxed. Double taxa.

None of the republican county
conventions so far held has been able
to please the local democratic organ,
Notwithstanding the fact that each and
every one of them has gone on record
by resolution against the various cor
porate abuses that are eliciting popu-
lar protest. The only way these re-
publican conventions could please the
democratic mouthpiece would be to re-
pudiate republicanism and go over to
the democracy.

Pledge Cannot he Broken.
Erernnnt Herald (demD.

The republican convention cannot fail to
make a nomination for senator without be-
ing wholly false to it's pledges to the people.
BY action of the last state convention and
by direction Of the state committee a
pledge has been made that such action
will be taken. II remains to be seen
whether the party leaders will break this
pledge as ruthlessly as republican legis-
lators and state officials have broken
pledges for legislation looking to relief from
railroad control in state affairs.

Quartermaster General Humphrey has
made a recommendation to the secretary
OF war that the khaki uniform for the
army be abandoned. except for troops
serving at oversee stations. and that the
olive drab service uniform, lined for
winter and unlined for summer use, be
adopted for all troops serving at home
stations. In his letter General Humphrey
calls attention to the fact that the output
of gray cotton goods in this country is
controlled by one corporation, located in
Baltimore, Nd, which alone holds and
controls the secret OF khaki dyeing He
says that the contractors for khaki cloth
are far behind in their contracts, which
has delayed the contracts for the manu-
facture of khaki coats and trousers, and
| entailed much inconvenience. both to the
army and militia.

applied to the question of the issue Of

authority to purchase coffee enroute, under
vouchers which will be returned to tho

vouchers would involve much labor. in

The War department has heard again
from George w Kirkman, who was
formerly a captain In the Twenty-ffth In
fantry. and who. for some reason, wishes
to know whether he Is a general prisoner
and whether he may have private confer
ence with the army Inspector on the &C.
casion Of the latter's visit 10 the peni-
Tertiary. Under the provisions OF army
regulations the term general prisoner" Is
limited to enlisted men Of certain class
and, OF course. an ex-officer Of the army
does not come within the description. In
reference to seeing the army inspector.
II was evident in Kirkman's mind that
his-sentence wholly severed his connection
with the military service and that his
status in this respect Is different from
that Of enlisted men undergoing similar
sentences OF confinement In peuitentiary
with dishonorable discharge. The War de-
partment however. sees no special objec-
tion to Kirkman being permitted to see
the army inspector.
