Sellers. it will be remembered,

has come from the uncertainty of mem
bers about the policies the Speaker mas
sought to put in force. Had their con-
stituencies been calm, these Republicans
would have been docile enough. Rep
resentative Babcock, of Wisconsin, the
chief of Republican insurgents, has a
world of trouble in his own district am
is trying to trim his political sails to
catch the popular breezes in that quar-
ter of the world. The opposition to the
Philippine tariff bill among beet sugar
Republicans of the West comes from
the fact that the fear of consequences
among those who elect them to the Ma
tional House is greater than fear of the
House leaders.
The fact that denomination period is
near at hand for many of these Repum-
hcan statesmen in the House has also
made them especially shy this winter
of measures likely to be unpopular.
The middle western states, like Ohio
and Indiana, are already nominating
candidates and from now on till early
summer nominations for Congress VIII
come thick and fast in that section.
East the nominations are generally
made much later, which gives members
more opportunity to explain their votes
and policies as members to their con-
StitueDts.
There is great deal of uneasiness,
too, lest Congress still further muddle
the general situation before it adjourns.
The general trend of everything done
by the Republicans since they met hece
last December has been TO hurt their
cause in the coming campaign. This
has been added to of late by the atti-
tude of the President, the Speaker ana
others in authority towards the labor
men and towards their appeal for the
enforcement of the eight hour law.
The date generally set for the adj
Journment of Congress has been June /
But that leaves only about two months
more to complete the work of necessary
legislation and, as things look now,
1t Will be impossible to get through by
that time, unless some important mat
tiers he greatly expedited. The rail
road rate debate is not proceeding as
smoothly as many have wished. a
week ago the leaders hoped it would be
ont OF the way by the middle of April
The obstacles encountered in negotia-
tons during the past week have led
many to believe that the debate NAV
rot end before the middle of June.
But that is not seriously expected.

EDITOR RHODES ADDRESS.

Editor Chas. L. Rhodes of the Star
delivered the address at the United
Lenten service held at st. Andrew s
cathedral last night, the subject being,
craftsmanship and Righteousness -
Taking his text from Matthew xxi. 81,
Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and unto God the things
that are God's,'' the lecturer argued
that it is essentially incumbent upon
Churchmen to be conscientious in the
discharge of their civic duties. because
the Christian is, in fact, the ideal cit
izen, and that it .behooves him to
weigh seriously his actions in all that
pertains to the political life of the land
in which he dwells. in a manner not
only acceptable in the sight of God,
but at the same time calculated to
promote the public veal.
Owing to the absence of very many
regular churchgoers-who were Il en-
gagged at a social function elsewhere
the attendance was, unfortunately,
somewhat slim. Bishop Restarick,- a S
well as Canon Macintosh and rev.
John osborne, officiated.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY.
The shipping subvention bill, which
is of a wide interest, extending to peo-
pie all the way from Maine to Hawaii,
is probably showed under for this ses-
sion. Great pressure is being brought
to bear upon Speaker Cannon but he is
determined that the bill shall not be
pushed too fast, which means that it is
not likely to be pushed fast enough to
get through before the session ends
The hearings on the bill have been ar
ranged to begin April 4. 1t is not ex-
pected that eastern shipowners will
care TO testify further, as they were
heard before the general Merchant Ma
rine Commission. But it is expected
that western manufacturers win want
a hearing and the intention is to give
them a chance. Foreign shipowners,
who are opposing the bill, will also
want to be heard before any attempt
is made to report it to the House.
