and perhaps delight to try to make
capital for his party in the coming

and delight will attach to Mr.. Mann,
who will employ his usual
fulness to do what he can to brighten
the presidential prospects of his own
party.

This Session Is Critical.

The galleries were filled with sight
Seers, for an intense interest attaches
to what is to be done at this session.
1t may be that presidential candidates
will be made or unmade by the pro.
ceedings. A slip of the tongue Of
some party leader may do damage be-
yOnd repair to the party's prospects.
Every man in house and senate will
be on guard over his tongue, and
every bit of proposed legislation will
be studied thoroughly by the leaders
of the party of the member proposing
it, to decide not only on its probable
effect on the country, but its effect
on politics.
AS for the Democratic leaders, they
seem to be determined that if the tar
if boards report on wool is in ac-
cordance with the information gained
by members of the ways and means
committee, which. of course, is DOM
mated by the Democrats, legislation
based on the boards report must be
passed. The party leaders, however,
seem to be determined that if the
tariff boards report has in it a suspi-
cion of leaning toward the side of du.
ties which are too high, a bill cutting
those duties shall be passed and sent
over to the Republican senate for
commentator or condemnation.
Trust Problem to the Fore.
No sooner had congress opened
than the trust matter again put it's
interrogation to the lawmakers. Sew.
eral bills have been drawn already
which represent the varying views of
what ought to be done to the Sher-
man law. This matter will be
thrashed out thoroughly before June
comes, and with the tariff it will oc-
cupy the chief place of interest and
debate.
House and senate at the last ses-
sion sanctioned a measure looking to
the popular election of senators.
There is a difference between the
house and senate as to the exact form
which the resolution on the subject
should take and it was left in confer.
ence when the special session ad.
journed. The conference committee
will meet at once and attempt to ad-
just the difficulty and to make it pos
sible for the states to decide quickly
whether or not the change in the form
of election of the members of the up
per house shall be made.
