Pessim4sm Over Currency.
There is increasing pessimism in the
Senate over the prospect of currency
ieSlSldtl On at THIS session. Such demo-
cratic leaders DIS OGorman of New
York and Hoke Smith of Georgia are
exceedingly dubious of action on the
currency bill before adjournment.
The fear is expressed that once the
tariff bill is OUT OF the way Il quorum
will just quietly disappear; like the
Arab of the poet who silently folded
his tent and as softly stole away.
They all admit it will be mighty diff
ficult to keep the Senate here after
September /. There are hints now of
getting the bill out of committee and
then recording an agreement to take
it up the first Monday in December or
something like that; as the tired hired
girl dusts the parlor, with. lick and
promise"

batting this bill,'' said Chairman Sim

eff the bill proves not to be for the
benefit Of the country, it will demonstrate
that our ideas of the tariff are wrong; if
il proves to be we'll for the country. IL
will demonstrate that the opposition is
wrong. That is all there Is to this prop
osition, and We are ready and anxious
now to pass the bill. 1t is going to pass"
