W.i-liinyti.n, I). . .Iiitif. 10. lOof
T..' -it nation in Congress has very
v.. ..-. changed during t lit last I't.-w
.-. The way that it has developed
s- ! tersely Mated by the Washing
1 in the following editorial:
Congress and Adjournment."
T' !i days ago it looked as though
:-!'- would be able to eoniplete
!:: vik of the sexiou by the last of
! . .r .. ( k; but if there is not an
:i. mi!: ht upon eertain matters the
i. .1 t.-n days it is quite likely that
Mi.ji. -- will h- with us the last of
ii t i! "hth.
"The eanal. whether it shall be sea
li ! or loek, is giving niueli eoneern.
'A 1,1-n the average man reads Senator
hiltredue, lie eaintot understand why
atibody -an favor a lock eanal; ami
il he shall then read Representative
I'.iirtoii. wi Jin, himself acknowl
edging the impracticabilities of a sea
Icvi l canal. The Senator convinces
us that the lock canal would be un
satisfactory, and the Congressman
convinces us that the sea-level canal
would cost a great deal more than the
lock canal, and not serve the purpose
half as well. Senator Morgan says
that neither a sea-level nor a lock
canal can be constructed across the
Utiimus f Panama that will serve
the purpose the American people have
ill view.
"Indeed, there is as much varied
opinion on the canal question as there
was on the rate bill. Jt took a twelve
wicks' debate for the Senate to ar
rive at a "consensus" on the latter
issue, and doubtless it will take at
least two weeks for the Senate to
make up its mind regarding the canal.
One tiling. howcer is important
the matter should be disposed of he
present session. It is very impor
tant to be spending millions without
a dilinite end. Too much of that has
been done already.
"It is also understood that the con
ferees on the disagreeing votes of the
two Houses on the rate bill are not
nearly agreed, and there is talk of
staying here until October to com
plete legislation. It may be that the
President and Senator Tillman will
net what they originally went after
last February if the deadlock shall
hold until the summer (turnU into
dog days.
"Then there is the packing-house
mess. That ought to entertain Con
nies for at least two weeks.
"There is every prospect that ad
journment is some weeks off, possibly
some months. Mr. McCleary is down
for a stand-pat speech."
Young (Jrant. of (Jreensboro, X. C.
has been here for a few days trying
to get himself continued. He ami
Blackburn have been consoling them
selves with such hopes as they could
hold out to each other.
Simmons Uneasy.
It is understood here that the Senator-Chairman
Simmons is very much
worried at the veryslim Democratic
primaries and county conventions
that are now being held over the
State.
State Chairman Judge Adams was
here last week. He extended an offi
cial invitation to Secretary Taft and
National Chairman Cortelyou to at
tend the Republican State convention
at Greensboro on July 10th. It is
understood that both agreed to go.
The President Interested in N. C.
Prospects.
The National Republican adminis
tration is taking more than usual in
terest in the outlook for the Republi
can party in the Old North State.
The President wants his cabinet mem
bers to e;o to the State.

Mr. Williams' Amendment.
Mr. Williams, the minority leader,
said that the Houe was pretty fa
miliar with the rules by this time.
If they wanted to b ragged, all they
had to do was to vote for the rule.
If they dared to ex p res themselves
on the great questions involved in the

that the legislation i influenced by
sectionalism. He declared that one
Western man is equal in all the qual
ities of manhood to five Eastern
men.

tention to vote against the acceptance
of the report because of the omission
of the anti-polygamy provision in
serted by the Senate, and in doir.2

the Mormons, saying that he knew
his stand on the question would re
sult in 'his 'enforced retirement from

erto been accepted by the House, it
