NOT MUCH ON HARMONY • A Washington dispatch says that there will be no important legislation at the session of congress which begins next month. The Republicans have a majority in both house and senate, but they are divided into two, hostile camps. The insurgents declare that they will not play with the Al- ; drich-Cannon crowd. The old cellar i door down which they all used to i slide in harmony has ceased to be i attractive to those who have insurg- j ed. The seriousness of the Republi-1 can situation is thus referred to in the following dispatch: “The fact is, and public men everywhere are taking note of it, the party in power is so rent with dissensions as to make agreement on any legislative program seemingly very difficult. An effort is to be made within the next two or three weAs to patch up some of the disagreements. The president intends to use whatever influence he is able to exert in bringing about harmony. Some westerners who have come to town within the last few days say they propose to take it on themselves to say to the president that unless the Republican party gets together for the coming session of congress it will surely lose the house of representatives next year, and possibly the presidency in 1912. These westerners declare that the party situation is a good deal more alarming than public men who have not been about a great deal realize.” IT IS CURABLE Dyspepsia may be completely eradicated if properly treated.
