With the first of May eniy abaut a week IB the future it may be said that the work oi congress is very much in the drag. Early in the sesfelOii the hoUSe ttiok a spfliit and rolled out bills in a tti&niler that presafefed an early disposition of the work of that branch of the coflgressi It V'*1- nointed out that the senate would be the laggard of the legislative term and that if ad journment should be deferred it Would be chargeable to the senate and not to the house* It* As the first of May approaches it is difficult to put one's finger upon a great deal in the way of tangible re sults produced by the house during the past few months, except the passage of three or four appropriation bills. The house passed the railroad fate bill eight weeks ago and since then it has done little else, but talk. The senate has occupied itself in a similar man ner, but that was expected. Nobody expected that the senate would, pass the rate bill in a week of so pi ye.—•'Sid. That is jM-Iov""Iipy"'v*ia.-i the senate floes business. When the senate takes tip a great proposition, such as the rail road Question, it hammers away on it until there is nothing left of It ftotfr\ ing more to say concerning It. AsThe matter now^iandl the house has passed only six or seven appropria tion bills. There still remain" to be considered the sundry civil, military academy, agricultural, naval, District of Columbia and general deficiency bills, to say nothing of the pure food bill and the bill for the revision 6f the laws. Appreprlatlbhs Require Time. It is declared by Congressman Wal* ter I. Smith, Who is a member of the appropriations committee, that these appropriation bills will consume on an average of a week's time each. There is six weeks on appropriation bills. Exact Knowledge of JAS. H. SHEPHERD, "New Shepherd's Ranche." MEXICO is a Sealed book to most people of the United States, yet it is the most attractive neighbor America has. Its fertile soil produces cotton, corn, tobacco, and tropical fruits in abundance, while its mining regions are rich in treasure. There are but five cities in the Republic of Mexico that are not reached by the Mexican Central Railway. IDEAL SUMMER RESORTS Mexico City, Lake Chapala, Guadalajara and Cuerna" vaca.

Homeseekers Tickets at g'reatly reduced rates, thirty day limit, are on sale first and third Tuesdays of each month. OTTOMWA, IOWA. The pure food bill may take another week and if the bill on the revision of the laws is taken up that will occupy a month. A good deal of time may be con sumed in the discussion of conference reports, especially in case the senate should materially amend the railroad rate bill. The Statehood matter is Still before tha house and there may be pro longed trouble in disposing of that. Dieousslon in the Senate. FKitt a superficial point of view it tfiight Appear that the senate is Still mere the drag. Only three of four bills have been passed and eight or nine still remain to be disposed of. The Panama Bill must come up for dis cussion and the indications are that it •frill be productive of a good deal of discussion. Sefiatdr Lodge is making a desperate bill to get the Philippine bill in such shape that it can be brought onto the floor. As the matter Aow stands the Committee on the Phil ippines voted down the proposition .to report the Bbuse bill reducing the tar iff oh Philippine Sugar, etc. The Only possible way in which Lodge can get the Dill before the sett ate is ttr tndve that the committee be discharged froifa further consideration of the measure, tf this can be done then it will be pes* -Sible to get the question Up for discus sion. if not, theti that matter iat dead fof this session. The Rate Bill. The rate blil will probably be dis posed of about May 10. of While it is true that the senate has nine appropriation bills Still to conSld* er, it is likewise true that the senate can dispose of two appropriation bills where the house can finish one. In fact ihe senate can pass all the re maining appropriation bills in two weeks if it is so disposed. The reason for this is plain. The hbuse has done the greater part of the work. Its com mittees have had their hearings and considered the bills at length and the senate committees profit thereby. The senate usually adds some items that it.des&fias impbrtant and reports the bill. Then the senate debates appro priation bills a much shorter time than the house. When an appropriation bill reaches the floor of the senate it usually has passed through three sieves previously. First the house com 6 committes both political parties are represented which oUght to and does, usually, preclude the possibility of questionable items getting into the bills, and the further fact that most of these buig must pass under the eagle eyed inspection of Senator Allison, Whose great knowledge of past legisla tion and existing conditions makes him a veritable encyclopedia on matters of legislation, is taken by the senate as a guaranty that there is no dyna mite concealed in the bills. For this reason it is frequently possible to pass a big appropriation bill ir one day. Excursion Tickets sold the year around with nine months limit and stop oyer privileges.

The prediction is now made that Congress will not adjourn until the middle of June and many statesmen place the date at the first of July. It is believed the former date is nearer correct. Fences Need Fixing. Two potent stimulants Will operate to expedite the efforts of both branches in clearing the decks. First, the de sire of members of the house to get back to their districts and get at poli tical fences. The democrats think they stand a good chance to win over the house and are eager to get at it. The republicans are equally anxious to prepare for the attacks of the demo crats in this direction. Second, the hot weather. It may sound childish to say that the law makers can be influenced by tempera ture, but the fact remains that sizzling Weather acts as a great expediter and prod. When the hot weather appears early in May presaging the boiling humidity of June the statesman accel erates his speed and things are doing. A hot spring may be depended upon to Cut two weeks from the last end of the session, and it is this knowledge Which suggests June 16 as about the latest date for final adjournment, ft1 goad eburse this is mere.guesg Work fthd yet from indi cations the measure will have been pretty well thrashed out by the end at next week and then several days will be taken iti Considering amendments in case a date for voting has been agreed upbti iii the meantime.
