The Congressional Limelight.

A fight for the limelight is coming
Pick the winner.
At the start the stage was set for the
tariff. Everybody was at attention, and a
great entertainment seemed assured.
While the revision was not to be on the
lines of revenue only, that idea of taxa
ton, il was promised, would be made
prominent. and heavy drive made in the
debate at the policy of protection. At
last genuine set-to between the two
schools of taxation, with the school point
ing toward free trade in power and re-
sponsible for legislation
Then came the unsettling announcement
that the President desired currency re-
form at the extra session. and Congress
must prepare to take on that. Both re-
forms must go along together. The enc
mics Of tariff reform might attempt to
create trouble in the business world, and
might succeed unless defeated by a pro-
vision for a more elastic currency.
Then. came the Presidents charge that
lobby influences We're at work against
tariff revision. and out of that have grown
two investigations by Congress compre-
hensive In character and likely to con-
sumo weeks of time. The Senate's inves-
tigation Is now in progress. and that or
dered by the House Is about to begin.
Not only the activities Of the two schools
OF tariff thought are to be probed. but
the activities of both capital and labor in
matters that have come before Congress
in recent years
The original program OF the extra ses-
sion therefore has been materially
changed Not one thing. but three things
will occupy attention. The nose of tariff
revision has been put out of joint. Two
other youngsters are now in the house
and demanding service.
Congress will not lack for time No
limit is fixed to the extra session IT may
continue If business warrants until the day
for the regular session arrives Members
have no urgent calls from home this year.
Besides they are pledged first to Uncle
Sam They are articled to him for two
years and he has the right to command
them IL he needs them for every day OF
that period.
The chances are all In favor of a new

Hardships of a Career.

Said old Bill Jones to Ezra Bings
my friend, you just watch me.
I'm going to do lot of things
You'll be surprised to see.
I'm going to lead a movement great
And lift my voice on high
And rank with those who legislate
In Congress, by and by
And old Bill Jones he went ahead
And did exactly as he said.
He sits in Congress. day by day
And stays awake at night
To study out what he must say
To set the nation right.
All summer long he's up in arms
For every kind of strife,
While Ezra Bings enjoys the charms
OF simple placid life.
And all that keeps old Bill afioat
Is Ezra influential vote.

The Overhanging Sign.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
1t may be that cities are under no obli-
cation to provide beauty for their people.
but at least they should abstain from In
f1icting uglineSs. The city government
which tolerates such a useless monstrosi-
ty as the overhanging sign has no right
to complain If its citizens show them
selves careless in the matter Of clean
alleys and neat garbage receptacies.
Every overhanging sign is in violation
of well known public policy. Every one
is an intruder on space belonging to the
people. Every one helps to disfigure the
street, and to increase the dangers of
fire. Every one represents special priv
lege-and special privilege Is just another
name for graft. Every one. is an unmiti-
gated nuisance.

Pennsylvania's Coal Tax.
rom the New York World,

From the New 1Ork NOfIu
The coal railroads have lost no time in
transferring to the shoulders of the deal
ers the burden of the new tax of 2Ia per
cent levied by the state of Pennsylvania
on all anthracite exported from that
state. With equal self-uenial the dealers
will shift the load. with additions, to the
consumers. In levying upon anthracite
shipped beyond state lines Pennsylvania
Is taxing a product of which it has q
monopoly of the supply. 1T has been
careful to discriminate in favor of it's own
people This method of taxation is
vicious and Is practically certain to prove
unconstitutional when tested in the
courts. The United States Supreme
Court blocked similar attempts of states
to interfere with the freedom of COM
merce in the Oklahoma oil cases and in
the Indiana gas case.

Official War News.

TONI Iut SPTIHSLtIu NFpuDIIcHI.
The failure of the press to give any
adequate account thus far of so great a
war as that now raging is due to several
causes. The immediate cause. of course,
is the dearth of trustworthy news and
the obvious mendacity of the official bull
letins. Even If there had been correspond
ents at the front they would have had
no way of getting their dispatches past

season is the f1lmy coat of chiffon or
lsce usually without lining other than
another tone Of chiffon.
One of the loveliest cloaks is of en-
hroidered chiffon. The long lines OF
hrapery are exceedingly artistic and
The fuIness at the top Of the coat
at the back is held in place by a
square shaped tab of exquisite en-
broidery.
Another cloak is of brocaded crepe
he chine. At the neck there is high
nurndown frill of mousseline de sole.
The cloak is shirred on cord at the
shoulders and the sleeves and bottom
bf the coat are also shirred on a cord
pf the material.
Equally good in it's way is the shap-
Id coat Of gray charmeuse trimmed
with small rose colored silk buttons
and cord loops. 1t is finished with a
narrow rundown collar Of the rose
colored silk finished with a narrow
1rin of rose colored chiffon.
One exceedingly attractive model
bean recently was of lace, chiffon and
silk at the front the upper part was
Iraped in rever shape with chiffon
scarf, which was knotted in a large
knot and ends which fell to the bot
tom Of the cloak. The fronts were Of
aace over which soft silk was draped,
falling In folds from the shoulders to
the bottom OF the garment.
In soft satin and crepe, there are to
be had numberless beautiful cloaks.
Some of the rich supple brocades are
izsed for superb cloaks and there are
Slain satins and crepes marvelously
embroidered Other models depend up
On lines rather than ornamentation,
and these, when successful, are verit-
able works Of art
One peculiarly lovely model was In
supple satin finished silken stuff which
was probably a crepe Of some kind.
Ut was in q soft cyclamen tone and
was lined with deep toned smoky
gray chiffon over whose surface was
scattered design Of primroses in sew
srai cyclamen tints. The fronts fell
BACK in soft draped revers to show
the chiffon facing.
All sorts of odd little shaped shoul-
der wraps in chiffon, lace and satin
are being exploited by French design
,ers, but many Of them are en- suite
with frocks.
One smart New York shop exhibit
led a model Of black Chantilly lace to
be worn with costly lingerie frock.
The front of the coat was ornamented
