1 serious effort to deal broadly with the
subject OF banking and currency reform.
Several of the Democratic leaders have
declared that this subject is second In
importance TO the tariff, and the chair
man OF the subcommittee of the Bank
Ing and Currency Committee. of the
House, having the matter in charge, has
announced that the subcommittee would
hold extensive hearings this winter with
the purpose OF framing a general bill.
1t Is probable, therefore, that no finan-
cial legislation will be enacted at the APP
preaching session and that the measures
now pending, which include the general
bill to render effective the recommends
ton of the Monetary Commission, the bill
II extend the authority to receive certi-
ned checks drawn on national and State
banks and trust companies in payment
Of duties on imports and ali public dues,
biils to enable national banks to loan
money on real estate, bills for guarantee
ing bank deposits. &c, will go over until
the general subject is taken up under the
coming Democratic administration.
II Is not for want of bills before them
that the members Of the present House
and Senate agree that few will be passed
at the coming session. During the regu-
lar and special sessions Of the Sixty-sec-
ond Congress no less than 35,63S meas
ures were introduced. OF these, 26, 453
were House bills. 700 4rouse resolutions,
So House joint resolutions, and s.
House concurrent resolutions: 7.501 were
Sencte bills, SSS Senate resolutions. 100
Senate joint resolutions, and 30 were
Senate concurrent resolutions. Approx
mately $50 measures became laws at the
last session.
Besides bills that have been referred to
committees and have not been reported
upon, there are more than fifty measures
OF Importance to business interests pend
ing In the House and Senate that have
been reported favorably by the respec-
tive committees having. them in charge
Nearly score of these refer to State
and Federal regulation, half a dozen or
more have to do especially with ocean
traffic and were the outcome OF the IT,
tanic disaster. three relate to banking
and currency, three to telegraph compa-
MES and all OF the above named might
incidentally affect railroad traffic. The
others have TO do with standards OF
weights and measures, tariff and taxa
ton. industrial workers, vocational edu-
cation, patents, immigration, European
trade. and the consular and diplomatic
service. Until the Democratic admins
tratiOn-elect grasps the reins of govern
ment, however, no one expects serious
consideration Of these propositions.

The japanese firefiies are much
larger and give brighter and more

poor Japanese students, unable to buy
candles. were wont to gather flrefiies

made of fine laces, placed on the

the garden. gives almost as bright a

Firefiies are plentiful everywhere in
