The Sessions Length and Work.


Now for business. The Christmas FUR
key and the trimmings have been disposed
of, and largely upon the work Of the
coming months depends the problem OF
which party. republican or democratic
shall partake of crow in November. 1t Is
unnecessary to say that neither party
bankers arter' that dish.
Two questions engage attention. az
The length of the session, and (2) the
order In which the tariff schedules shall
be taken UP for revision. Both are i'm
portant, and caucuses may be held before
they are settled.
Both parties would be glad of a short
session-say of FIVE months If it is pos
sible to put UP the shutters by June l
they will do it. That will give the repub-
leans two weeks in which to get ready
for their national convention. I'd the
democrats two weeks in which q digest
the republican ticket and platform before
replying by like action.
But when the amount of work is con-
sidered, the time seems too short. And
he work is too important to be hurried.
Whatever is attempted should be well
done. Haste makes waste and waste is
d bad investment on the eve of a presi-
Dental campaign No running away
from matters that can he disposed of. and
10 slipshod disposition of matters taken
UP 1t would be impossible for Congress
10 put the two national conventions out
of IT'S mind, but i should not allow con-
sideration of them to govern absolutely
its walk and talk.
AS for the order Of tariff revision. the
argument IS in favor of the order adopted
by the House at the extra session. II
that order was well aiken. and the tariff
boards work is Of no consequence to the
majority. why should it not he followed
now? Wool first. and then cotton.
But, it is said, new order Is shaping
Wool is to be held back and iron and
steel will lead. And this in part as a re-
ply to the absurd charge mad. at the
extra session that Mr.. Under d. be.
cause Of his own interests an ose o
his constituents. is ''tender'' irol
and steel Mr.. Underwood needs no pro
lection AGAINST such a yarn as that. HI
has digniied it by a denial. but neet
not have done so. 1t would have fallel
Of it's own stupidity.
But maybe there is a weiehtier reason
for the new pro"ram- Schedule K and
the cotton schedule were hastily prepared
at the extra session. the CO. ton schedule
particularly, and everybody knew thai
presidential vetoes awaited their appear
ance at the White House The repub-
licans offered nothing but general obiec-
tons. Now the republicans. guiding by
both the ve-oes and the reports of the
tariff board, are going into specificat ons
in the form Of schedules of their own. ant
these must be met by the democrats. The
schedules of the extra session mus
themselves now be revised. To what ex
tent remains to be decided and the coun
try awaits the decis;o on with great inter
est and sone irpat ence.

The use Of gas in houses for heating and
ooking is almost universal and it is APP
alling to think that it is accompanied by
such a grave danger to life. Ordinary
asphyxiations are almost always the re-
suit of carelessness or inattention to the
quipment. But these monoxide poison

not carefully cleaned. are usually through
no fault of the victims. In this latest

A fire was started yesterday in private

All arrived on the ten O'Clock

hand shakes until two o'clock when
the hour of speaking arrived. With
all the advertising and persuasion
there could not be gotten together
but nineteen which included the five
politicians. two Republicans and
seven Kitchin men. The Kitchin
men hated it that all should have
treated them with such contempt.
but they had all heard enough of
Simmonsism. All went we'll until
the principal speaker began to deny
and ridicule a letter circulated con-
corning the packed convention, then
we had to correct him and show our
credentials, which we did and they
accepted them very gracefully and
said it was only in Craven county
and one Of the speakers said they
had plenty of votes and only wanted
to give him as good a showing as
possible in Craven county, his home.
We presume he has them like he has
Craven solid, which will be mighty
close, if not for Kitchin, and before
we close we want to say to anyone
that denies the latter, he is either
ignorant and should not speak or is
trying to fool the people for if the
light was only on in Craven County
We would feel sure of Kitchin.
