reasons which still delay final action
by our friends in Washington, but ex-
press the hope that their difficulties
will soon be overcome and that rep
resentative of the great American re-
public will occupy the place awaiting
him among us. The work of the coun
ell will then assume definite charac
ter and will have that particular force
which should be associated with oul
work.
