CONGRESS MAY Run Till August.

Leaders of both parties are predict
ing a session of Congress that will
run into August. That prospect is
said to have had weight with the
Democracy in selecting Baltimore as
its national convention city The
awkwardness of distant Chicago for
handicap. Here is the way it looks
to each side: Democrats are saying
that a long summer session will be
due to the Senate delaying the tariff
measure which the House is mixing
up. Republicans feel sure that the
present loafing on the part of the
Democrats in the House is the drag
on the law-making machine.
Tariff discussion. which probably
will last months, win begin next week
i'll the House of Representatives. The
first vehicle for the arguments will be
the iron and steel schedule upon which
the Democrats of the House are ex-
peeted to caucus Saturday. 1t is
generally reported that the Demo-
cratoc measure will recommend free
iron ore and reduction in the sched-
ules on manufactured articles from
thirty to fifty per cent, the duties to
be ad-valorem instead of specific.

Carinu for Jurors.

The trial at Chicago Of the ten
hackers charged with conspiracy in
maintaining a combination in re-
straint of trade, is expected TO occu-
by the time till May /, in hearing
the testimony of Government Wit
nesses and the defense expects to caii
100 witnesses. Outside of these there
are 80 voluminous statistical docu-
mcnts. Thus it is easy to understand
that the end is far away.
And the chief cause of anxiety be-
cause of this long distance to go. is
the health of the jurors. If any one
of a thousand things should happen
to any one of these men after the
trial had gone on for weeks and
months, then what Well. it would
mean another one of those set-backs
in government prosecution of big in
terests, which have served to eXas-
perate the public.
United States District Judge Car
penter is closely guarding the health
of the jury, and the method is inter-
esting as we'll as, in some ways, anus
ing. The Judge receives report
every morning from the bailiffs on the
physical condition of the jurymen and
gives instructions liz regard TO their
care. The jury has been living at a
downtown hotel under guard since
Dec. 10. and thus far no member has
complained of illness. Two jurors
have gained fifteen pounds and near
" every other member of the body has
gained five pounds or more in weight
The jurors rise before seven o'clock
every morning and are taken for
two-mile walk after breakfast
Sunday morning they attend ser
vices at a downtown church. They
do not care for theatres, having at
tended but two theatrical perform
ances in six weeks. Thomas Scott
was a sailor for twenty years before
being accepted on the jury and has
brought large coil of rope with him,
which he uses in tying knots during
his idle moments.

campaign. or even of a state fair, TO
demonstrate that it is also an age OF

influenced by cold reason. They can
not be stirred and thrilled.
Enthusiasm has its supreme place
as the motive power of human action.

Editorial Comment
Medicine for Mobs.
(New York Commercially


Governor Foss and the local author
tiles at Lawrence, Mass, are to be
congratulated for the manner in which
they have dealt with the strike riots
in that important mill centre. They
recognize that their first duty was to
suppress disorder and preserve the
peace, and they did this with an over
wheiming show of force. Most of the
troubles of this kind in this country
are needlessly intensified by temper
izing with the rioters at the start.
This creates the impression in their
minds that the authorities are afraid
or unwilling to act, and gives them
courage to destroy property, commit
assaults and even murder those who
wish to work. The results of lack
of firmness in suppressng disorder
promptly are always lameutable, and
one of the worst things about it is the
unnecessary sacrifice of lives among
the malcontents as We'll as the jnno-
cent bystanders and officers of the
law.
In most other countries large bodies
of troops are called out promptly to
aid the police and lives are very sell
dom sacrificed. This plan is the most
merciful to the rioters themselves,
and ii appears to have succeeded we'll
in Lawrence. As in most cases Of the
kind in this country. the majority OF
the trouble makers at Lawrence were
foreigners accustomed to the sight of
regular soldiers at home whom they
knew would obey orders to the letter.
Such people. used TO being ruled by
force, cannot interpret the lack of 1t
here otherwise than as sign of
weakness upon which they at once
try to impose. The large proportion
of such foreigners in our mills and
mines has created a change in social
conditions which must be recognized
and dealt with accordingly by the Of
ficers of the law. We want no streets
swept with grapeshot. and the best
way to avoid it in the end is to begin
with a show of force that will impress
the ignorant 1T does not appear that
the French Canadians played any
part in this rioting. They are peace
fur and law-abiding as rule. and
when they find themselves out of
work they turn ito other fields for
employment without waiting to be
starved out But even they come
from a country at our doors where
overwhelming force of arms is IN
voked promptly whenever trouble
threatens. Too many lives have been
sacrificed in the United states Tor
lack of this.
