LETTER from our fietnlar Cftrretf oariest. Despite 'the opposition of the entire Pennsylvania dele, ga'ion, exiept!ng f course, tbederaoeratic members, and of some twenty other repre sentatives, th republicans of the House have determined to pass the Townsnd-Esih railway rate hill at the pres ent session of Congress and it is probable that the tneas u re will be sent to the Senat (he latter part of next week but it is almost certain tha no action will follow in the upper chamber. Democrati members' of the House w i I vote for the minority substi tute. which is a modification of the Davey bill, butas tha wurps qeieatwt tne.v may vote for theTownsend Esrh as the best railway legisla tion that can be obtained The determination of the re publicans to vote for a rail road rate bill at all this ses sion is rerognizd as a tri nuipnior ine f resident am also for Representative Will 1 a ms w hose sarcasm the re publicans' fear and who, it was known, woul i have de live red a broadside which would have made interesting in the respective districts 0 the republican Members bad they listened to the railroad lobby and determined to do nothing toward carrying in to effect the President's ree ommendations at this se8' sion of Congress. It is probable that there would be some railway rate legislation in the Senate at this , session were it not for the Swayne impeachment case, which lenders the con sideration of a complicated measure almost a physica mpossibility, although it is equally likely that before the bill passed thf Senate it would have been so altered us to make it entirely inadequate to correct existing evils, even those at which it is aimed. The fa?t that the Townsend Lscb bill fails even to at tempt the correction of some of the gravest evils is a source 01 disappointment to Presi" dent Roosevelt and to t be democrats in both houses of bngress and there are many who believe that a more com prebensive measurecan be en anted at the special session whi'"h the President proposes o call. The President has de cided not to attempt to force be Senate to act at this ses s:on ana nis present plan 4s f 0 call a special session to re vise the tariff and enact prop er railway legislation about October. Some earnest mem bers of Congress are, howev- ever, urging him to take the ide of sentiment in favor of extending federal control of therailvrlysat its fluod and call a epecial session to meet this spring, and while tbrv lavenotyet convinced him of the wisdom of this course he has taken the matter un der consideration. If the Sefi ate were, like the House, elec ted by direct vote of the peo plfi there is little doubt that Senators would feel the neres sity of a special session In the spring to -meet' the 'demand or'thls rharacter of enact' ment, but under the pxistiog circumstances Senators are decidedly independent and they insist that if the Presl 1 lent compels theni to meet Ibis spring they will adjourn without action. It is a constant occasion of regret to sincere democrats to see some of their number stultifying themselves by vo ting for absolutely undemo cratic bills, ns they did this week when tbeprouosition to nay a special subsidy to the Southern Railway of $142, 728 whs under consideration. It is claimed that it la neces sary to pay this sum to the Southern Railwapin order to obtain auick maihservice to the South, but the claim is a specious one and those in n position to know the1 inside tacts declare that the South- ern uauwny would never take off its fast train, even wre it to receive no subsidy I m . irom tne government, it is not, however, entirely the fault of members of Congress that thev vote for such meas urea, but it is due, rather, to their home newspapers which tco often insist on such care of the railroads and which would defeat the Represe.ii ta tive who dared to vote a- gaiust "the best home mail service.' A large majority of republicans and democrats voted this handsome present to the Southern Railway and there is little likelihood of its being cut off in the Senate. The fallacy of the protec tive argument wos never more strikingly illustrated than it has been this winter in connection with the tariff on wheat. For years the far mers have been told that they were protected by a du ty of 25 cents a bushel o n wheat, although the price has been fixed by the Liver pool market and the duty has never afforded the farm er a cent of increased profit. This year, however, a short age of hard wheat in the northwest put up the price until the American farmers were receiving 20 cents more a bushel than their brothers just over the Canadian bor der. Of course the miller did not want-to pay the extra price so thev appealed to the Secretary of the Treasury to allow them to import the Ca nadian wheat, pay the duty, grind it into flour, export it and secure in the form of drawback the duty they had paid the government. The Secretary of t he Treasury appealed to the Attorney Gen era! for an opinion and the aw officer of thegovernment has decided in.favor of t h e millers. Senator Hansboro has. however, inttoduced a bill in the Senate which will prevent the drawback pro vis ions of the Dingley Act from being applied to wheat. The 'ate of this bill, which is in the form of an amendment to the Sundry1 Civil appropria tion bill, will determine bow willing the republican .protec tionista iare actually to pass egislafion which will protect the farmers while it some what curtails the profits of he Minneapolis miller.
