WASHINGTON LETTER tttm jar RajaUr Csmspoaleat. The agitation for.nn extra session in th Sprinjr has measurably subsided, hut th tariff revisionists are wti'l m sistaut and the proposition now at the front is that nn extra sesaioii for its Rettl ment shall bi hld next Fall say, frotn September 1st to the regular time of meeting in December. Th'fl sugges tion seems likely to tak th form of a determination short ly, for it solves the pnblem to the satibfactionof all mem bers of the mnj(ritv party It is also pretty ce r t a i n that there will bp very little legislation at this session ex cept the regular nppropria tion bills. This conclusion is concurred in by the men who make tneprograml oy. Messrs I llison, Aldrich, FairbanKs, Lodge and others in the Sen ate, and Cannon, Payne, He menway, Grosvenor and Da 1 zell and othotB in the. House. Bills'alleged to.be forthe ben efit of the.Phllippine, Islands haye already passed the House'and will probably be come laws during this srs sion. The bill providing for two new states may also pass, The appropriation committees- of both , houses are decidedly against a gen eral river and harhorbi)) and a large public buildings bill, though an incessant clamor for both is kept up by thosp whose constituents helped fe elect the present administra tion and demand some more barrels of "potlr." In the House, Speaker Cannon has with much candor -onnded the alarm of "A big deficit In the Treasury," nnd he will nse his great influence against tapping it forahundredmil" lion-dollar appropriations. In the Speaker's chair and out of it, with gavel in hand or only with potent forefing er upraised he calls attention to the fact that there has been an election which decid ed against "the meddlers" and revieionists and the lat ter think he calls attention to it with "damable itera tion." Their cries for imme diate nourishment will prob ably be temporarily qoieted by the ptomise of a chance to tap Uncle Sam's Pactolian reservoir next autumn, "when the corn is full of ker nels and the colonels full of corn. The President's annual ser thon'bas now been thorough ly digested." Indeed a lare partjof it has been predigest ed by something like a score f members ofCongr.P8. It is felt to be so chock-full of beautiful moral sentiment and maxim concerning cor rect conduct that it mieht have been dictated by Mar cus Aureliua end Chesterfield. It shows that real goodness is preferable to real badness and will conyincealmoHt any body that right d o I n g is more creditable than wrong doing. In thesp respects it could not be improved. , The people of this District t A are mncn pieasea -tnat ne gave a wnoie column to its needs nnd elaborated plans I lor its elevation to oecome a working model fur thj; whole country. H;s compulsory ed ucation law bete is not well timed; partly because w have 'i compulsory education lajv now, nnd partly bernnse no compulsory attendance can possibly beenhiced heie while the high hcIiooIs are so pampered and receive so large a proportion of the funds that there, is no shelter for the primary grades and six or eight thouandyonngsters who ought to br receiving el ementary training are run ning wild in our streets and alleys. What is needed here is a reduction of the high school curriculum until all the children behw the fifth grade are sheltered under a roof and marshaled under a teacher. Spelling. If all the recommendations of the m 'ssage crystals in to law, there will be much sh-ongT central govermeht in Washington than was ever contemplated by the framers of the Constitution. For a tinip the drift his beon to wards centralization. T h e Exe?utiye iu the White House controlling nearly all the great enterprises in which the people are engaged. Mr. Roosevelt would add to the ex'sting list the control of railroads, banks, trust com punies, insurance companies, factoty conditions, hour of labor on railways &c He would have Federal comfais sioners to inspect all rollong stock; to decide on all thro' rates of freight; to hold in quest on railroad accidents to enforce the block signal system and regulate air, brakes; to enforce sanitary conditions wherever la boring men are assembled. As there are over a million and a half of cars and engines, (1,573, 000) and several times that number of wheels to be ham mered on and brakes to be tested, it would obviously re quire a good many men and a good deal of money f o r their adequate inspection. And how much more com plete it would be than theGen eral Sloeum inspection. The 11,000 acefdentu which oc cur in the United States year ly involving 8.000 deaths and 60,000 persons injured, would inquire a large army of coroners and a vast roulti tude of inquests. This would be building up abeaurociacy of tremendous proportions which might end in nominal socialism and actual imperi alism. Ahove his colleague's cry foreconoray Senator Hale has made his voice heard demand ini $100,000 for a statue of Benjamin, Franklin- in this city. , As we hae already a superb marble statueof Poor Richard of heroic size on Pennsylvania Avenue, pre sented to the city by Mr. Stil son Hutchins, and asthere is not yet in our streets or parks any statue of Robert Morris, Jeff-tson, Adams, Hamilton, and a multitude of others this proposed dupli cation o f Franklin seems quite superfluous. His cer tain that the almanac-maker himself would not ap prnr of it. The in::uJu ;lL'io!;,lW; reduce the number f Sbnlh erh Congressmen because of !bgd disfranchisement of negroes will be followed by a most unhealthy excitement duridg I lie remainder of-this session. Messrs. Piatt and Crumpacker may attempt in vain to rei m prison the Afrite which they have ivleaeed John Sharp Williams has met the proposition with de-liaii'-eatid Carmack with a joint resolution to investi gate and expose the amount of money collected frotn trusts and others to effect presidential elections. Pla tt's hill would reduce the. total number of Southern Congress men nineteen, but the, Sena tor with nn exibitlon of pr ten tied generosity alleges that if the Constitution were strictly and rigidly eniorcea the reduction woud h not tens than thirty. In the cut down proposedj'by Piatt's bill Georgia would lose more than any other state, being redu"ed from eleveu to eight, ltissaf) to anticipate that the controversy thus stupid ly begun will end iu a tumult surpassing the Force Bill (lis putation as a hurricane sur passes a zephyr. Hated con ferences were held yesterday on both aides showing a lack of unanimity on the pirt of both the friends of the mean ure and its opponents. But tha storm gathers and the end cannot be foreseen ut the present. CRIP QUICKLY KNOCKED OUT, Some weeks ago during the se vere weather both my wife and my self contracted severe colds which speedily developed info the worst kind of la grippe with all its miser able symptonn." says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Landing Iowa, "Knees und joints ac'.iing, muscles sore, head stopped Up, eyes and nose running, with alternate spells of chills and fever.

He was unconscious of lb approach of death, so he did not leave us any evidence of his future tate, except bis life, which is ihe bent of evi dence' ''As n man livoth hi shall he die." Brother Minyard gave hi heart to God" about swii years ago andjoined the B ip list church, When he Mr. hi- native home and cast h i lot in a new country, he did not do nsso many havedon.'. leave their religion behind, He obtained his letter of re moval when he loensed her- and there being no Baptist church near him he attache"! himself to Ihe M.

We deposited the remains of our dear brother in the full reali zation that if a man dies he shall live again in that great day when the dead in Christ shall rise. They shall come from the eadt nnd from the west. It doesn't matter whether we are tinned in the lone prair ior in the North Carolina hills, if we live the life of the righteous we shall meet in that bright, celestial city where there is no more parting, sorrow, pain, sick ness or death.

It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful tn curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. , This great family modicine is not a strong ana 2$. , but "WW healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may be taken by a men child without possfbl ham. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous 6i:da along with the waste from the bowels gut back i to the blood and viruluut contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed ford 'a Black-Draught removes the aangorswhlchlurk in constipation, hver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Jirlght's disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure.
