Congress will adjourn December 21, for the holiday recess. The vacation lasts from that date to January 4th. The New York Herald regards it a remarkable literary feat that President Roosevelt, in writing a message of 18,000 words, did not use the words “tariff” or "trusts.” The tariff question, the Herald continues, |is conspicuously and distinctly avoided. He has nothing to say on the vital subject. The trusts are only tenderly referred to as great corporations.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The principal event scheduled for the senate during the present week is the taking of the vote on the Philippine civil government bill, which is set down for next Fr iday at 3 o'clock. Many democratic senators are opposed to the bill, but the best information obtainable is that there will be no general debate on the Phillippine question, as they cons ider the passage of the bill a foregone conclusion. They will devote their efforts to securing a modification of some of the provisions which they regard as especially obnoxious. After the vote on the Philippine bill on Friday the senate will adjourn until the following Monday and it is considered doubtful wheth°r much more business of general import ince will be under taken until aft ir Christmas. Ludlow says the president called Jim W atson in and had a long talk with him on’ tariff revision. Watson says there will be no special session of congress in th * spring

and that the president is a mild revisionist, but is not in favor of touching many schedules. Probably the trusts bound him up so tight, before the election that few schedules remain for him to practice revision on. It looks more and more as if Theodore had a full understanding with the trust magnates during the period of uncertainty following the nomination of Parker. It will be remembered that for a time it was a matter of doubt as to whether the trusts would support Parker or Roosevelt, but very suddenly the announcement came that they would support the latter. Hence there will be no tariff revision.—Columbia City Post. For real bargains attend our December reduction sale this at The South End Bargain Store.
