WASHINGTON NEWS
What is Congress going to do?
What tt does will be done <juiok
\ ly; that seems certain. Speaking
in general terms, it will approve
ithe past plans of PTes. Roosevelt,
and probably approve in advance
some things that he Is likely to do
in the future. Prompt action iB
assured by th agreement of the
Senate Democrats to abide by the
majority vote of the party cau
cus. This in itself is somewhat
unusual, and an emergency action
worth nothing. -It is not to be
supposed that the Democrats alone
are working to save the day. Re
publican support Is assured, and
further backing will come from
the Governors of the States.
There are a * good many matters
beside currency legislation for
Congress to consider, but curr
ency has the center of the stage
just now. Seven billions of curr
ency supposedly are in circulation,
but albout four billions are locked
up somehow. How to get the vast
gum circulating, or find something
to take Its place, is a problem.
So one expects the Issuance of
money backed by a bare promise
to pay by the government, but it
is possible that there may be pro
vided a new medium of exchange
based on bgfek assets, unquestion
ably sound. Yet It is hard to pro
phesy. What one writes today, in
the way of a forecast, he may wish
to take back tomorrow. Events
are moving rapiUiy. It is difficult
to keep up with them to say ‘no
thing of attempting to foresee
them.

REFLECTIONS
Sympathy seldom is withheld
from the man who struggles for
recovery from an assassin’s bullef.
After the lapse of half a century
the two month contest of Pres.
Garfield wRh death is rememibered.
Pres. McKinley carried on for 8
days, amid the prayers and hopes
of a united people. Mayor Cermak
fought a good fight for something
over a fortnight, but is was des
tined that he should not win.
About eighty prominent persons
have departed this life by assass
ination since the passing of Pres.
Lincoln. -Like Lady MacBeth, they
should have died there after. No
[way of stopping actually physical
assassination is known at present.
[Until a means to that end is dis
covered. everyone at least can re
train from the more subtle ass
assination which consists in thwart
ing the efforts of able men of hon
est purpose, by too free use of
bl'ter and partisan speech.
