THE sEssIoN,s SHOWING.

The end of the present session of Congress Is in sight. and without sum- ming up the work that has been aeecm-
 plished. it can be said that the two Houses have been revealed in very diff ferent lights as deliberatfve assemblies. The Speaker. who has stood mdnfully against the Senate for what he eonsid. CTS the prerogatives of his branch Is accustomed to speak of the Senate as
 '1he non-deiiberative body" There is . point in this. if applied to the Sem ate's' uncritical and hasty acceptance of the Beveridge meat inspection amend ment to the House Agricultural bill. If applied on any other subject, the sheer is fla: and wholly untrue. The Senate has it seems gained immensely in pub lie opinion, and the House has gained not at all
 It Is not new to observers of the Sen- ate's work to find 1t deiiberating. It has always deliberated. the reproach being too often that the Senate was deiiberating how best to subserve or advance certain interests oftentimes sinister In character. The increase in the senate's reputation this session is not due primarily to the ability dis played by individuals in debate, nor the fulness of these debates. The improv- ed position is due in the main, to the contrast shown between the Serate on one side and an ens1aved House and an ebulliant President on the other.
 That the Reed rules met an urgent need. that they destroyed many evil practices, would be recognized by the country. even if the Democrats had not complitnsnted Reed by adopting his rules in turn when they came into pow. CT. Neither under Reed nor Henderson were these rules made an engine of oppression. It has remained for Speak, CT Cannon to import more of his own personal views or bias into the hand ling of the total of legislation offered ia the House of Representatives. He re- sembles in this the gentleman at the other end of the avenue, who believes strongly in personal government; who rushes hither and thither in the effort to force his own dogmatic and ill-di- gested notions upon Congress. The President and the Speaker together, have all unconsciously, given by their conduct a distinct impulse to popular respect for the Senate. The Senate in Is deliberations, measured and genuine, shines by contrast.

One J. G. Groves. one of the most prominent and successful negro farm CTS in Kansas, has issuS1 an appeal to his race which they would do well to heed In effect he advises them to take their eyes and their minds off the cities, the Pullman cars, social equali- ty and other vain imaginlngs, and go back to the soil to become successful and Independent farmers He shows them that their best interests lie in making themselves home owners in the rich farming regions of Kansas instead of Hooking to the towns. dying like sheep with the rot" instead of owning and living in plenty and independence on their own farms. His advice is of the best and will apply in the South with even more force than in Kansas. The congestion of negro population in the cities is one of the greatest evils of the times, and more advisers like Groves would be a good thing.
