It becomes more and more appar ent every day that the republican party is becoming powerless to pro vide any kind Of legislation except appropriation bills. The present Con gress has not passed 6 single tmpoT- tant measure which. was recommend ed by the president in his message, delivered insDecember. On lot a si1- gle recommeniation of the president has there been party agreement, and on several of the more urgent needs recommended the party leaders have been worked up to a pitch of open hostility. The Philippine tariff bill was passed by the House, but not without a show of hostility by many strong republican members of that body. In the Senate the sugar and tobacco trusts were strong enougn to kin the measure by smothering it in the Senate The San Domingo treaty which the president agreed to with that South American republic without consulting the Senate, has been tarned down, and 1t is easy to state, along with Indian Territory of the Senate comes from the infur ence Of the sugar trust which has 10 desire to see this country become too intimate with country that pro Suces so much sugar, fearing that the next move will be to tinker with the tariff in behalf of that dependen- cy Of Uncle Sam.
 The attempt to pass the Hamilton joint statehood bill has resulted in imagine that this action on the part failure, and the prospects now are that even with 100000 population, entitled to five Representatives in Congress, Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory will be denied admission, for no other reason than that the feeling between the republicans in the Sen ate and House has become so bitter that the consideration of any meas ure in the remaining days of the ses- sion will be on a basis of revenge Of one house on the other.
 All will agree that the railroad rate regulation measure is one of the most important and most Bseded pieces of legislation that has been before, the country since 1t was first proposed by the democrats in their platform of 1896. In the House the Hepburn bill, which was by no means a compliance with the recommendations of the president, was passed by the House practically unanimously; every demo crat in the body voted for it. and only seven republicans voted against it. In the Senate many of the republican leaders gave it out that the HepbuEp bill could not be passed. The presi- denr has already agreed to an amend meat which will render it practically of no service to the public should it pass. The republican leaders of the Senate have turned the measure over 10 Senator TiIiman, no doubt with the purpose of giving the South Csrolin- ian an opportunity to bury it with his little pitchfork. after they have ad- ministered a death blow to this cher ished measure of the president.
