thority would be more satisfactorily
fixed for Secretary Maggie.
Meantime members of the House
have been sliding away to their homes
on leaves of absence, as the House is
meeting but twice week and then
only for few minutes There is now
no quorum in town and accordingly it
is impossible to take up the Census bill
for considering any amendments the
Senate and House conferees might
agree upon. For that reason ths
Census bill must wait till the end OF
the extra session and all the Conferees
are 50 much "het up about it, every
man of them would like to get out of
town for good and forget about the
enumeration of the population on the
mainland and dependencies.
Senator Hale has had number Of
Maine visitors on tariff errands in re-
cent days. They are Fastening to him
to ascertain whether the duties in the
Senate bill are safe from the assaults
which enemies are making upon the
measure and also, in some instances to
ascertain whether some additional
amendments, favOring industries in
which they are engaged can not be
put upon the bill in the Senate. Mr.
Sias Adams, of Portland, has beer one
of these recent visitors in the interest
of some provision for reciprocity with
Canada but the work of the Finance
Committee had been so far advanced
that Senator Hale had to tell Mr.
Adams the reciprocity features OF the
bill would have to be confined to the
rnayimI1np and minimum feature al
ready determined upon.
The Senator is: looking after a pros
position to take care of the timber cut
in Aroostooll which floats down the
st. John and is sawed into lumber in
New Brunswick. The prospects are
not altogether flattering. for now
owners of timber on other rivers along
the Canadian border are pressing for
like legislation and there may be some
difficulty in persuading the Senate to
admit such lumber free Of duty from
New Brunswick, unless the same privi-
lege is granted elsewhere. 1t may be
open to question anyway, whether the
present law will not apply to the cut of
the present season that is about to oe
f1oated down the st. Johns River.
Senator Hale has looked up the vari-
Gus phases of the situation and. in any
event expects to ask the Senate to
| accept the provision.
The tariff deliberations are keeping
the Maine Senator very busy. He is
one of the most constant of Senators
in his attendance upon the sessions 81
the Senate and is keeping informed

To is curious how many Intelligent

that from what Hancock wrote TO
Gerry the midnight ride OF Paul Re
vere was Unnecessary. This may be
quite true In the light OF today, but We
are not dealing with what was neces-
sary or unnecessary but with what was
actually done, and it was thought nee
essary at that time, perhaps, that Re-
we're DO sent on 70 give the midnight
warning. Paul Revere has been aptly
called The Messenger OF the Revom-

historical fact, and not merely poetic
