SUBSCRIPTION RATES. Six months 71 Falu In advance, per year $1 51 The lutit sesHion of the sixtieth con gress is now sitrim in Washington. It will bdjourii in three months, sim ultaneously with the end of President Rnosovolt'g adminiHtrution. It may be predicted with much certainty that there w ill be little or no new legisla tion at this session. For three or fonr weeks the Ways and Means Com mittee ot the lower house lias been lisiening to rhetoric on tariff revision, but no bill will be reported ut tins Bossioti. Mr Taft is expected to call a special session after March the fourth end it is presumably for use at this session thitt this useless rubbish before the Committee on VVh and Mehns is hpard unci retarded. The Monetary Commission appointed at the last session, or which Senator Altlrich of Kintle Island is head, litis been junketing iu Europe and is , imagined by Home to have studied Hud proloundly probed the financial ques tion at tijuancitil center abroad. In asmuch as it has six years iu which to do this so-called work, there is no probability that it will' resort to a hill this winter. The President, backed by the more progressive officers of the navy, is anxious to have a new law passed reorgiinisiing the navy depart ment, but inasmuch as only throe more mouths rotnain to nun and to this oongrons, lie will probably have to leave this Rooseveitiun policy witt many others, to Ins Buctessor. There will bo opposition to it just as there was to the bill for the reorganization of the armv which Mr. Boot was not able to have enacted until after two years of strenuous effort. There is belief In some quarters that a river and harbor hill will be passed before the fourth of March. There is argent need for improvement of the water ways, but economy is the slogan that is heatd from all sides The dofinit last year amounted to five millions a mouth and this year it is riot far from ten millions n month. The president and the advocatoa for a greater navy are insisting on more money for dreariiiuughtx and the clnseflsts of the housd are deteruun d in their opposi tion. In a few days the postal sav ings bill will have the floor in the senate and Senator Foraker, it is Slid, will call up the Brownsville affair on tho Kith of the month. Ho ha-t returned to Washington with hi belt full of artillery and cutlery and a soiisatiomtl speech, tilling pages of the, Congressional Record, is expected. want may be gratified. The natural wealth of the country is great and great are its achievements, but better tluty all this are the people them selves a chosen race growing in numbers and all the accomplishments and graces which make a people mutually useful and happy." The senate or rather some sena torsare extremely jealous of their jtdut prerogative with the White House to make troatios, but past ex perience lias shown that their special function is in marring treaties. There would exist today a treaty be tween the two greatest and most pro gressive nations on the globe, both speaking the English luuguago, had it not been lor this troaty-marrmg pro clivity of thersenato. A number of senators are lookiug askance at what they oall a "treaty" botween Japau and the United States, reoently pub lished, but the secretary of state, Mr, Root, had the foresight to avoid the jealous and misohievous interference of the senate, by disclaiming by im plication a "treaty" and prepuring with the co-oporation of the Japanese ambassador, a '"declaration" sotting forth nothing new, bat proclaiming formally and in unmistakable terms a long established status quo, which as the Japanoso ambassador expressed it, will have a binding force for good on nations of the high moral character of the United States and Japan. A member of the house of commons" a few weeks ago, said that there had been ninety two murders in the oitv of Loudon siuce January, 1804. This would be oil au uverago of not more than nineteen mm tiers a year iu a population of about five millions. It is common for our American cities to boast of the rapidity of their growth and of the Bplendor of their civiliza tion, but it might be well for them to compare their murder statistics with those of London. Our cities, with less than half the population Of Lou don, will have tt) confess to a larger number of murders. The quick and inevitable death penalty following murder in England and the facility of escape of tho death ponulty iu Amer ica is au explanation of tho differ-onco.
