Speaker Uetl would ! more than
human if he did not get a little hit swell
ed on account of the several open refer
ences made on the floor of the Senate to
his jxiwcr as exercised over the House,
and 'the .open acknowledgment on the
part of Senators that he had succeeded
in coercing the Senate, not only in push
ing the taritT bill through, hut in shaping
the lull itself. These acknowledgements
are among the most remarkable ever
ever made in the Senate, which lias here
tofore prided itself on always having its
own way in all matters pertaining to leg
islation. The Speaker of the House has
always been the most powerful individual
factor in lac control of Congressional
legislation, but, unless these Senators are
badly mistaken. Speaker Heed has been
more than a factor-, he has been a dicta
tor. I think his power in this case has
leen greatly exaggerated.
The extra session of Congress that met
in March is now a part of the country 's
legislative history, and the taritT bill,
upon which the continuation of the He
publican party in power depends, is now
the law of the land. That portion of the
administration that is wedded to the
currency commission idea is not entirely
satisfied with the work of the extra
svstion, because no such commission was
authorized, and those who wished Con
gress to go into geueral legislation are
not at all pluased, but those who wished
legislation confined to the taritT bill re
gard the session as having been entirely
successful. What the people think of
the work of the session will not be
known for some time yet. and will de
pend upon their experience under the
workings of the new tariff. The aver
age citizen is not a bitter partisan, and
is always ready to say a good word for
the bridge that carries him safely over
rough waters regardless of the builder.
If the taritT helps him he will pronounce
it good, if not, he will pronounce it bad
and help to overthrow those responsible
for it.
Senator Morgan added to his reputation
as a man of common sense by the man
ner in which lie announced the abandon
ment of the attempt to delay a vote on
the conference report on the tarilT bill
until cotton ties and bagging were re
stored to the free list and the duty on
white pine lumter was reduced from 'J
to .1. lie frankly stated that he would
have t it willing to have remained all
mrnrniT ami to have kept Congress in
esi-i"n had his support been sutlicient to
juMify a hot; "f final success, but not
having that he did not care to have the
batteries of the press concentrated upon
him, and was therefore willing to vote
on the report.
(hie thing that was done while the new
I tariff law was 1 fore the conference con. -I
mittoe is sure to he widely cwnincnded.
That is the insertion of a clause prohibit
um; the manufacturer-; of tobacco or
, cigarettes offering any sort of a prize or
l premium with their goods. The only
1 pity is that a similar law could not be
made to apply to everything else, for
j there is little doubt that the introduction
' of lottery methods into business, which
lias grown to a great evil, is demoralizing
in its effects upon our people as a whole,
j The minute the taritT bill was out of
the way President McKinley's special
rurrenev commission was tired broadside
at Congress. The Senate paid no atten
tion to this request for legislation before
. adjourning, but the House, although
Speaker Heed and other Republican
leaders were understood to be opposed to
a currency commission, took up and
passed the bill authorizing the appoint
ment of such a commission, if the Sena
tors return to Washington, next Decem
ber, with the same ideas on this subject,
that they have now, it is extremely
doubtful whether this bill w ill le passed
bv the Senate.

THE MARKETS.
Special to Journal .
Nkw York, July 2o Stocks continued
in their upward movement and w ill go
much higher on crop report.
New records were made today, for the
Grangers, and Sugar came m for tin ad
vance of three dollars on renewed buy
ing. Cotton was strong on foreign cables,
anj good purchasing by the home inter
est. We look for higher prices.
The wheat receipts of the last two days
together with lower foreign markets was
too much pressure for the bull contin
gent, and prices after opening a cent
lower showed a feeble rally, and con
tinued down wai d. netting two cents loss
for the day.
We look for a rally for curient prices.

Weekly Crop Bulletin
Tiie week ending July 6th was very
wet: the ground has been thoroughly
soaked nearly everywhere. The rainfall
averaged over 2 inches for the week,
w ith amounts varying from 1 to .j inches.
While the rainfall m some sections was
excessive, with minor damage to low
land crops by standing water and over
sowing streams, and some injury to corn
by high winds, the seasons on the whole
have been very beneficial, anil crops
have made excellent progress. Cotton is
holding its fruit very well: tobacco and
corn have improved. Sweet potatoes are
very line and digging has commenced;
rice is heading nicely. Fair weather, with
more sunshine, is now needed.
Easikks Distkict. The reports of
correspondents in the eastern district are
very favorable. Showers occurred
throughout the week, and the ground is

The attendance at the farmers' insti

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited lor
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggi.-h and the need of a tonic and alter
ative is felt. A prompt use of this medi
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious feveis. No mediciuc will act
more surely in counteracting and treeing
the system lrom the malarial poison.
Ilaadache, Ihdigestion, Constipation, Diz
iness yield to Electric Bitters. 50c aud
1,00 per bottle at E. S. Duffy's Drug
Store.
