Tbe President with his cabinet was on band to sign the bi'ls as pal ed, and the galleries were crowded to their capacity for holding. "Un? cle Joe" reviewed tbe work of the hotly and pronounced it "well done," threw bouquets generously. but had no one tossed at him in return, tbe usua' resolution ot eonV tom the minority not being forthcoming. Saunder^ was placed on a com? mittee of investigation to mani lort to th< ion. which is equivalent to notice to tlie "Parson" tnat he must still wait and live on hope with the usual allowance thrown in. The space at our command forbids a cursory review of the work of the body, but must ac pei milted to say that having again shamefully .ted the public roads of the country, while spending peoples money rcchjeealy, tue sm of oinis aion is such that there should ba no forgiveness on the part of the voters. This one neglect should be BOfficienl td itself to shut the door of return to each and every member. * To say that this is not tbe? ing need of the people is to talk nonsense lint since tile Cannon was spiked we must unite with tbe unhorsed 'Czar" in saying, "well \ow for the honeyed worda (or thc ad with the bope ot sugar in the gould' A (HIP OF THU <>l.l> BLOCK.

Mr Taft is said to be- delighted with the yew rail road bill, which was passed in the closing hours of Congress This is said t<> be its ebie; feati "The chief effect of the tull is to .'hen and make more efficient the- machinery employed in the Fed? eral regulations of rates The commission no longer needs to wait for the filing of a Shipper's '"Hi plaint betoi.. taking action.

Yoong Princ-e Edward Albert christian Patrick David, heir-apparent to the throne front Britain, wa ira old da>. and his royal father made him Prince Of Wales in honor ol the day no doubt with all the traditional "ensigns of honor, the girding on ol I a sword, the- delivering of a cap and placing it on bis head, with a ring ' on his finger and a golden statt in his hand, according to ancient ena ? tom." Voung Edward got his aword ..and golden staff-and tin- tin.s trice: frrrimes of the Welsh coronet rather more quickly than his father. The latter, though Queen Victoria died January 22, Iddl, and King Kdward mounted the throne at OMS did not be come Prince of Wabs un . til November Hth. Th^at was a wait of nine and one-half months. Yoting Kdward had to wait but 4:1 days. The title of Prince or Wales doet .not belong to the heir to the throne . by right He becomes Duke of Corn . wail the moment bis father bocomei king, but the latter is under no eddi . gation, save hy ancient custom, te make him Prince of Wales. The titi* dates from the year l.st. when ii was conferred upon tl... young pidna who afterwards became Kdward ll This Edward was born at Camuvoi ls in Wale-s and was lin of Kdward I. it seems an easy process by whk-i kings are made, but the question 0 ? concern to the people is whs of the king after lie has bten made FALSE XLXKM. 1 Mr. Roosevelt is reporte-d to hav n expressed himself as tired of n r much publicity.

But the expression doesn i"incidewith Mr. Roosevelt's cor duct in consistently and pei e ly doing something to keep him ,. self in the public eye and as th central figure of a world-wide put lidty. Mr. Roosevelt is not tire v of publicity, or he would pm e course best calculated to give hii I. relief?Petersburg Index-Appeal.
