the failure to pass any kind Of
revenue legislation up to the pre-
sent time, notwithstanding the
depleted condition of the treasu-
ry and the certainty that a large
increase IN expenditures will be
an incident of legislation enacted
at the present session. After

has now gone out in answer to
questions as to the time when
revenue measures will be taken
up. The Democrats realize that
the real storm will break over
their heads when they begin to
pass the bills that impose addi-
tional taxes, and they are put
ting off the unpleasant task as
late as possible in the hope that |
something will happen to divert
public attention or give them
some plausible explanation for
the levying of direct taxes on the
American people instead of tax
ing the products Of the foreigner,
as was done under Republican
administrations.

It is frequently remarked with
qualification by Republican lead
ers that there is not the slightest
antagonism among the aspirants
for the presidential nomination
at Chicago. Nothing unkind is
being said by one aspirant or his
friends against any other candi-
date. AS a consequence, all the
defeated aspirants will find it
perfectly easy to fall in line in
support of the nominee. There
will be no hard feelings against
the winner noadverse criticisms
for the losing candidates to re-
gret. There has not been in
twenty years.a campaign so free

One of the encouraging signs
: for Republicans this year is the
small number of contests that
will be presented before the Ma
tional committee at the Chicago
convention. Four years ago,
several hundred seats were con-
tested. This year there will be
only A claimed by rival delega-
tions and theaissues are purely

wilharouse antagonisms in the

delegations. This year none of
the presidential aspirants nor his

contests.
