The Tariff Issue.

From Washington is given some
indication of the progress of the
tariff issue, which is about ready for
submission to the caucus of Demo-
cratic senators. In this gathering
Of senator's there will be considered
every feature of the Underwood bill.
10 which there may be some slight
alterations or amendments, but n
its entirety it will receive approval.
From this caucus the bill will come
TO the Senate, where it will be SUBJ
jected to discussion, where the Re-
publicans will strive to defeat it or
to so emasculate it as to make it
practically a failure, but this
scheme must miscarry, as the DEM
Ocrats, having even bare majority
will secure the final adoption of the
bill.
1t is very probable, at least it will
be no surprise if the senator's from
Louisiana will abstain from the
Democratic caucus and still con-
tinue their alignment with the Re-
publicans.
Has not the time come when the
Democrats of Louisiana should re-
call their senator's who were elected
as Democrats by Democratic votes,
and have been in full accord with
the Republicans on the issue of the
tariff?
What would be the verdict of the
Louisiana Democracy if the votes of
the two senators from Louisiana
were to be the means of the defeat
of the Underwood tariff bill?

Congregational Church Notes.

The services in observance of Eas.
ter were attended by large congrega-
tons. The music was especially we'll
rendered and many favorable comments
have been heard concerning the choir
which furnished it under M. M. Tap
Inns direction. The evening exercises
were also very pleasingly presented.
The subject for the midweek service
tonight is: The Risen Christ in His
Church." There will doubtless be a
goodly number present to consider it.
The Junior Endeavor meeting will be
held as usual in the vestry Sunday
afternoon at 3 80. Let all the Juniors
be present promptly. The Y. P. S. C.
E. meeting at 6 80 will consider the
matter of missionary education. This
will be an interesting meeting.
The next meeting of the Woman S
Missionary society will be Tuesday
evening instead of the afternoon. 1t
will partake somewhat of the nature of
a "Gentlemen's Night and all the
ladies whether members or not are
urged to bring their husbands. Mrs.
Rowell will entertain, and in addi-
ton to the regular program there will
be a social hour with music and re-
freshments.
The subject of the sermon on Sunday
morning will be after the Res
direction What?' In the evening he
will speak briefly concerning, "The
Man Who Changed His Mind" There
will be good hymns for the conrgega-
ton and special selections by the choir
in the morning and the first portion of
the evening service will be devoted to
song with selections by the choir. All
who are not attendants elsewhere will
receive cordial welcome.
The subject for the Sabbath School
lesson is 'The God of Our Fathers. "
This will be the concluding study in
the first quarter for the year, and all
those who have missed any of the
studies thus far will want to be pres
ent.
