St. Swithin Weather.

The spirit of St. Swithin is.work-
ing faithfully on the task of main
tanning the tradition. Last Thurs
day Washington experienced a rain
shower, and, according to the legend,
rain is to be expected on each of
forty days following. Friday and Sat
urday brought heavy showers, and it
may be that the next few weeks will
find Washington daily drenehed, to
the great relief of the sprinklers of
lawns and the, discomfort of base ball
patrons and players of outdoor
games.

The Sixty-Fifth Congress.

The republicans cannot hope to
wipe out the democratic majority IN
the Senate unless there is a record
landslide next year. Not only is the
majority large for that small body,
but the votes that will be in issue are
so distributed they give the demo-
Gratis advantage in any but an ex-
traordinary situation.
It is not strictly correct, however,
to say that if the Sixty-ffth Con-
sress is divided against itself-the re-
pub1icans controlling the House and
the democrats the Senate-no leg1s-
lation of importance can be enacted.
Even a tariff measure might be
passed.
Our revenue problem needs atten-
ton. Before the war began the I'm
derwood revision of the tariff had
proved a disappointment. 1t neither
produced revenue enough, nor slim
ulated business. We were in a bad
way before a gun had been fired in
Europe.
We are now in worse way. for
the reason that the war has thrown
the business of the whole world out
of plumb. Productions everywhere
have been dislocated. Consumptions
have been twisted out of ordinary
shape. AS a result, although we are
not at war ourselves, we are feeling
the effects of the struggle on those
with whom in normal times we hold
intimate business connections.
When the war is over, if not soon
er, we shall be obliged to look to the
question of revenue-to the sources
that produce revenue, and to decide
how best to raise what we need and
at the same time promote our indus
tries.
And we shall need large amount
So great a country as this, in the flush
of development, could not be put on
short commons without suffering
heavy injuries. Uncle Sam must be
supported in comfortable style.
Let US suppose, then, q republican
triumph next year giving that party
the presidency and the House, and
reducing the democratic party in the
Senate to a small figure. Such re-
suit would show a marked change in
public sentiment, and might be used
to secure good compromise 1egisla-
ton on subjects demanding immedi-
ate attention. The republican party
is not solid as to high, nor the DEM
ocratic party as to low, tariff. A bill
might be drawn which would appeal
to a few democrats in the Senate, and
thus become law.
OF course, the republicans next
year will work for all they can get;
but they will not have worked in
vain, so far as the Sixty-fifth Con-
gress is concerned, if. failing to con-
troll both branches. they yet show in
the general returns at the polls = de-
sire on the part of the people for a
change of policies.

objections to him are scarce, and
that as much as possible is to be

The same criticism was passed on
Gen. Harrison at Chicago in 1888
when he doomed up for the republi-
can nomination for President. As Mr..
Blaine was refusing the use of his
name, the anti-Harrison delegates in
sisted that the man chosen should be
on the Blaine order-hearty of ad-
dress, chummy, a good mixer"
While Gen. Harrison did not fiji
that bill, he proved to be at no dis
advantage as the nominee because of
his Temperament. A. matter Of fast.

When two years ago a man was
killed on the running board of an
open car at the corner Of 9th and U
streets in a collision between two
cars an order was issued to prohibit
the practice Of passengers standing
on this space. In the enforcement of
this order it has naturally followed
that when ali the seats are occupied
new-coming passengers have on
boarding the cars gone into the
spaces between the seats, standing in
front of passengers already seated.
