CONGRESS WORKING AWAY

Only Presidents Measures Will Receive Much
Consideration Between Now and

there was q bitter fight in the senate
over the postal savings bank bill and
Al the last moment a way was found to
bring all the Republicans together upon
4 unanimous vote. The effect of that
vote upon the country was most whole
some from q Republican standpoint and
the senate leaders say it would have a
still better effect politically upon the
country i the party in the senate

Peacemakers Busy.
Therefore It IS that the senate peace
makers are very busy these days while
the Cumminses and the La Follettes and

detail and the regulars have had OPP
portunIty TO reply, when there has been
reioinder and surreioinder. the peace
makers hope TO be ready to come for
ward with propositions upon which al
can unite.
The President is with the peace
makers heart and s0ul in this matter.
He IS loath TO have the railroad bill
changed but has come to prize highly
any demonstration of Republican harm

senate cheered him immensely. He re-
garded it as one of the best things
done by either branch Of congress at

The Eagle is informed by Mr.. L. NJ.
Hewett that the local southbound
freight train No. 81 which was taken
off about two months ago on the /.

This means that it will bring seven
men with their families to Bryan to
live as the train is made up here. Sew

the business of the town and will be
great help to the retail trade. Lit
tie by little towns are made and every
thing of this kind we can secure means

Democrats in the state. The excep-
tions are the plank relating to the
tariff and the one demanding that the
current special session of the legisla-
ture dispose of the fire rating board
law and adjourn. The latter, however,
is not a question of permanent policy
but of temporary expediency only, and
is therefore comparatively unimpor-
tant.
But the tariff plank is more seri-
GUS matter because IL involves a fun
damental principle. AS IN the case of
prohibition, there are good Democrats
on both sides. 1t is expressly declared
that a vote upon the prohibition
shall not be a test of
Democracy and a similar declaration
in regard to the tariff would have tend
ed to promote harmony.
Considering the circumstances, how
ever, the majority of the convention
is to be commended for the admirable
spirit of conservatism that prevailed
and the credit for this is chiefly due
to Senator Bailey, who dominated the
from start to finish and
could have secured anything he might
have asked for. He ought not, there
fore. to be censured severely for max
ing the tariff plant to suit himself II
remains to be seen whether the ma
tional democracy will endorse his pc
sition.
The forlorn hope led by Cone John
son, Congressman Hardy and Judge
Yancey Lewis made brave fight in
spite of the certainty of defeat. Wheth-
er or not they acted wisely in resist.
ing the inevitable is another question
that must be left to be solved by the
course of events hereafter One thing
Is certain: One or the other of these
antagonistic elements must be elimin-
ited from the party before there can
be harmony.

MR.. YoAkUM ON GOOD ROADS.

In his speech before the National
Good Roads association last month
Mr.. b. F. Yoakum. while conceding
the Importance of inland waterways.
took the position that next to railways
good wagon roads are the greatest fac
tor in The development of country.
These, he says, are the best and the
only means of transportation in large
sections of the country lying back from
the railways He says the railroad
business of the country has suffered
so much from attacks and adverse
legislation that for years to come
there will not be such an era of rail
rad building as has been in the past,
and recommends pushing the construc-
ton of wagon roads as a substitute
where railroads are lacking. His
views are worthy of serious consider
alton for he has well earned repu-
tation for candor and sincerity in ad-
dition to his large knowledge of the
subject of transportation in all its
branches.

OF COTTON MARKET
Break Is so Severe That Bulls
Are Thrown Into Near
Panic by Result.

NEW YORK, May 3l.-Thcre was a
further and more sensational decline
amounting to over $3.50 per bale in the
cotton market when it was seen that May
was going out without any final squeeze
in speculative shorts. The price of May
cotton sold of TO Sl4.6l, compared with
SlI.95 at the close OF business last Fri
day, and $3.50. the highest point OF the
month. and SIG 40. the high point OF the
season. made last December.
Trading in May was over at midday
and the last price was at practically the
lowest point OF the movement, although
UP 10 the last moment the bulls gave II
support. This closes. so far as the future
market is concerned, the operations in
May delivery, which have been the hcav-
lest for any one month in the history
OF the market. IL Is estimated that the
bulls have taken up 500 600 bales of cot
ton, worth approximately S27OO0.0OO. July
and later months sold off TO net loss OF
about 27@3l points.
The rapidity OF the earlier break and
the heavy western selling threw the
market in the afternoon into the most
panicky condition " has exhibited since
the big decline last January and prices
fairly melted away. with July cotton sell
