Now I want to say a few words about the new Congressional Library building It is the most beautifnl structure in America, and if there is a prettier build ing on earth it must be a dream of lov liness. The building is not only stu pendons in size but magnificent in every detail. The splendid Corinthian columns, the fine statuary, pictures, stucco-work, bas reliefs and elegant stairways baffles description. The whole effect is artistic in the extreme. It is a poem in marble, and the dome is covered with pure goldleaf, twenty three carats fine, The total floor of this superb building is nearly eight acres. It is 740 leet long from north to south, and 340 feet deep from east to west. There were used in its con struction 409,000 cubic feet of granite, 23,000.000 red brick, 500,000 enamelled brick, 8,800 tons of steel and iron, and 73,000 barrels of cement, beside* an en ormons quantity of marble and terra T> .Ky.lpfr.ltr HJU .Tgymf.Jillt the most remarkable part or it is that tbe building was erected for fd.SMO-.GOO. If the state of Pennsylvania could build a capitol as large as elegant as that for $7,000,000 we wonld say. let us have it. Tbe City Hall, Philadelphia, has cost about $22,000,000, and is not finished yet. The erection of the library from the be ginning has been in charge of one man. From October 2, 1887, until his death on March 25, 1890, Brigadier General Thomas T. Casey had the entire respon sible charge. After that until its com pletion last month, Bernard R Green, C. E., has been in charge. Here, per haps, is a lesson worth heeding. Would it not be better to give the en tire responsibility of a great pnblic building to one good, competent, honest man. than to entrust it to a large com mission, such as was given control of the erection of Philadelphia's great building? When we build onr new Capitol we ought to profit by this ex perience. When one man has sole charge there is no chance to shift the re sponsibility. If the work is not prop erly done, or too much money expended, we know exactly wh to blame. Here is the finest library in the world erect ed at a cost of $6,860,000! It looks like a large ,snm, but how much more would it have cost had the Philadelphia Building Commission had charge of it'f Nobody would think of placing the command of an army in the hands of a commission. The thing to do is to cen tralize responsibility The only difii cnlty is in finding the right man. POLITICAL NOTES. The whole Pennsylvania Legislature, in the |>erson of one man, is down the coast of Florida catching fish and hatch ing "Crocodiles," and when his lw>ys at Harrisburg have to take a drink they telephone him as to the quality of the liquor. Mercer county will hold her primary on the 27th. In Beaver Co. the Con gressional nomination will, it is said, be conceded to C. C. Townsend, At New Castle, Monday, the Deino crats of this district nominated Dr. Salem Heilman, of Sharon for Congress. The Beaver Co. Republican Com mittee met in New Brighton, Monday afternoon, and fixed upon Friday, April 2d, as the date of the party primaries, both for the regular connty nominees and the selection of Congressional dele gates. The decision to unite the two prima ries was arrived at after one of the warmest contests ever held in the par ty, and has resulted in much had feel ing. The decision included the siuqien sion of party rules. The fight waged for over an hour, but a vote was finally reached, and resulted in 51 for and 80 against a single nomination. George Dickey, the chairman, wan also the subject for a wrangle He has been in Colorado for some months, ami sent a proxy. The (convention refuned to recoginize this, and deposed Dickey.

He was sworn in by Harmer ( rep Pa ) and then the oath was administered to the members, for those whose certificates had not arrived Ising sworn in by unanimous consent. A committee was then appointed to wait upon the President. The extraordinary session of the Fifty - I fith congress was opened in the Semite I by the reading of the President s pro clamation convening it.

The four appropriation bills that fail ed in the last Congress were re intro duced. and both Honses adjourned un 111 us la/. —•— President McKinley's message was short and pertinent and Itegins as fol lows: To the Congress of the United States: Regretting the necessity which has reqnired me to call you together. I feel that your assembling in extraordinary session is indispensable, liecause of the condition in which we find the revenues of the Government. It is conceded that its current expenditures are great er than its receipts, and that snch a condition has existed for now more than three years. With unlimited means at our command, we are present ing the remarkable sjiectade of increas ing our pnblic debt by borrowing mon ey to meet the ordinal-}- outlays inci "lent upon even an economical and prn dent administration of the Govern ment. An examination of the subject discloses this fact in every detail and leads inevitably to the conclusion that the condition of the revenue which al lows it is unjustifiable and should In corrected. Here follows a brief resume of the finances of the National Government and the conclusion reads; It iimv Is; nrged that even if the rev enues of the Government had been snf ficient to meet all its ordinary cxi*ns«-s during the past three years, the gold reserve wonld still have been insuffi cient to meet the demands upon it and that bonds would necessarily have been issued for its repletion. It«< this us it may, it is clearly manifest, without denying or affirming the correctness of such a conclusion, that the debt wonld have been decrease 1 in at least the amount of the deficiency, and bnsines confidence immeasurably strengthened throughout the country. Congress should promptly correct the existing condition Ample revenues must be supplied not only for the ordi nary expenses of the government, but for the prompt payment of liberal pen sions arid the liquidation of the princi pal and interest of the public debt. In raising revenue duties should Is- so lev ied upon foreign product# as to preserve the home market, so far as possible, to our own producers; to revive and in manufactories,to relieve and en courage agriculture; to increase our domestic and foreign commerce; to aid and develope mining and building, and to render to lal«>r in every field of use fill iw-cnpation the liberal wajces and adequate rewards to which skill and industry are justly entitled The nee essity of the passage of a tariff law which shall provide ample revenue, need not be further urged. The jm perative demand of the hour is the prompt enactment of such a rueas ure, and to this object I earnestly re commend that congress shall make every endeavor. Before other business is transacted, let us first provide sufli cient revenue to faithfully administer the government without the contract ing of further debt, or the continued disturbance of our finances.

LIFFS SECRET. ■ From th>' Cornhtll Magazine. An abridged ver-b>u by Ella M. Turk, t.y i* r missloti of the rutbor.) Cains Steyimus Cinna was a Roman patrician. He had passed his youth in the midst of the legions, sharing their difficult life Later he had returned to Rome to enjoy his fame, and taste all the pleasures he could procure with his still large though already dimin fortune. Although not belonging to the school of sceptics, his life was one long act of scepticism. He did not understand the true Epicurean doctrine, but for that very reason he liked to proclaim himself an Epicurean. As a whole, he considered philosophy only a sort of in tellectual exercise. Whenever discus sion annoyed him he went to the circn to nee blood flow. He denied all faith in the gods, virtue tmth. and happiness, but he believed in omens; he had his superstitions, and the mysterious religions of the far East aroused his curiosity. During the first years of his worldly life it amused him to astonish Rome bv his excesses, and sometimes he suc ceeded; later on he tired of thi-> kind of j success. Finally he became ruined. His cred itors divided the remains of his fortune and nothing was left to him but an overwhelming apathy, satiety of every thing, and a curious feeling of perpet nal unrest. Nothing had remained un known to him. He had exhausted the resources of wealth, of love such as the j world then understood it), earthly joys, military glory, the fascination of dan-' ger: he had studied all within the pow er of man science. i»oetry. and art. He could there Tore only conclude that he had drawn from life all its secrets, and yet be had the feeling that there existed in reality something else, and that thing, the most important of all. had escaped him. What was it, that which he did not know, and tried so desperately, but in vain, to discover? This besetting thought pursued him. He drove it away; it returned without fail, and his inward trouble itjcreasf-d daily. He envied sceptics their unbelief, and. neverless, he considered them fools that they did not dare to seek after truth. In him were two men -one who laugh ed at his hopes of a future, the other who imperiously demanded to Is- satis fied. Soon after the loss of his fortnne he was enabled, thanks tP family influence to obtainj employment in Alexandria. It was hoped, in the centre of wealth, he would tie able to arrange hit* affairs His distressing thoughts embarked with him at Brindisi and followed him during all the voyage. He told himself once in Alexandria, amongst other stir ronndings, distracted by his business, by a thousand new impressions, he would be cured of his fixed idea, but in this he was mistaken, At first he tried to distract himself by adopting the kind of life he had led in Rome. Alexandria was a town of pleasure. At every step one met beau tiful Grecian women with pale golden hair, and transparent skin that the Egyptian snu had darkened toan amber shade. C'hinna took refuge i" their society to find consolation. But this remedy also failed, and then he contemplated suicide. Several of his companions had rid themselves of the trouble of living by his means, and for U-ss serions motives than he could plead, simply through disgust of life, weariness of its pleasures. And how? He had only to throw himself on his sword, and if the hand that held it did not tremble, in a moment he would I*- no more. The thought of escaping so easily from all his troubles seized his imagination, but at thu critical mo ment a strange dream stopped him. He dreamed he had crossed the banks shore he saw his own evil spirit in the shape of a slave in rags, who leaning toward him cried. I have only pre ceded thee that I may seize thee again. For the first time Cinna knew fear. He understood, by the terror that over whelmed him. that all is not ended by death, and he shrank hack horrified be fore the solemn mystery of tomb. At last he decided to meet the sages who were assembled in the Serapeuin. They jierhaps, might solve the mystery for him. The chief among the sages of Alex andria was Timon of Athens, a great man and a Roman citizen. He had re sided for many years in Alexandria with the object of searching into the mysteries of Egyptian science. It was said of him that there was i|««t ;i docu merit, nor a jrtipyms in the library that he had not examined, and that he was pesessed of all human knowledge He was besides this a kind and amiable disposition Cinna soon discovered him among the crowd of dried up pert ants and commentators arid made his acquaintance, which sympathy soon ripened into friendship. What the young Roman admire] in the old man was the force of his words, the elo qnence with which he discussed the highest subjects those which treated of the destiny of man and of the world; but what struck him the most was the inexpressible sadness which pervaded all his teachings. The more they K"t to -now each other, the greater became China's wish to ask his new friend the cause of his sadness. He thirsted also to ojtf'Ti his own heart to him. At last he decided to speak One evening, at the end of ah aui mated ilisciission upon the transmigra tion of souls, they were left alone upon the terrace looking over the sea. < inna putting his hand in Timon's, revealed to him all the trouble that overwhelm ed him, and the still unrealized hope that had induced him to join the phi losophers of the Herapeum. ' 1 have had, neverlheleas, thg price less gain of knowing th<-e, Timon, and 1 am convinced now that if thou art unable to give me coiufort in my trouble it is forever incurable." "fs it not true that for some time past thou hast not. believed iri the gods?" Ask Timon. At Ronje," Cinna said, "they are honored publicly and have even im rsirted new ones from Asia and Egypt: but the only people who believe in their hearts, are the vegetable sellers who come at daybreak from the country to the town ', "And do those, Cinna, posess peace?'' "Doubtless, but a i>eace resembling that of an animal, whose only desire is to sleep after eating." "Truly,noble (,'irina, and is life worth ' livinK for that?" "I should say no if J knew what death would bring us." "Well then, what is the difference between thy doctrine and that, of the sceptics?" ' The sceptics are satisfied in their unbelief anyhow pretend to be satisfi ed. For me it in a martyrdom "And thou secst no hope?" Cinna was sil-mt a moment then he said hesitatingly "I wait for it." "And from whence will it come?" I know not. He hid hia face in his hands and, as if soothed by the silence of the twi light, he began again to sjieak in a dreamy voice "It is a Hrs*ge impression, but I have often said to myself that if the world did not contain more than we knew 1,1 if we were not intended to Is something greatyf tlpin what we are, there wonld not !*• in ns tin, tesfle-:.' longint;. It is, in fact, the evil that gives me hujic of cure, of something better. The faith ill Olympus is dead philosophy is shaken to the very root, but help will eoiijc to us through some new teaching that at present ve are ignorant of." Thjs conversation was a strange com fort, to Cinna The knowledge that he wss not fighting alone, but that all hu infinity was struggling with him niad< ' It im IV,I that a friendly hand had de livred him from the crushing burden iiv throwiiiK weight on thousands of other shoulders From that, moment the friendship be tvveen Liana and the old Greek Ixtcame still greater They often met sharing all their thoughts, and Cinna found a thousand charms in this intimacy He wan. *<»> voting, in spite of his premature experiences and his j mirfortunw, for life not to offer him : new attractions, and the greatest of these attractions he found in Antea. , Timon s only child. The popularity of this voung girl was not less than that ■ of her father. Every one offerer! her ] homage, the grave Romans who fre i ijuented Timon's house, the Greeks, the philosophers of the Serapeum, even the common people. A supernatural charm -urronnded her and she hardly seemed of this earth. She had prophetical dreams, revelations that transported her aliove this world. Her father loved her with a tender ness all the greater for fear that he might lose her Sometimes, in fact, she owned to him that her sleep wac haunted by warning visions: that be | for her shi>ne an extraordinary light, and she could not say if it predicted life or death Up to now. however, no shadow had crossed her young life. When Cinna saw and heard her for the firrt time, be was so deeply im pressed that he would like to have rais ed an altar in the atrium of his house, and to have offered white doves in sac rifice to her. And soon he came to love her with an intense and overwhelming love, which as little resembled what he had hitherto felt, as Antea resembled other girls. And Antea returned his love. • Thou art happy. Cinna." said his friends. "Yes. Thou art happy Cinna. he re peated to himself And when at last he married her he loved, when her divine lips had pro nonn<-ed the sacred words, "Where thou art. Cains, there I. too, will be, it seemed to him that his happiness was. like the sea, inexhaustible and without limit. A year passed, ami the husband gave to his voung wife the worship one ren ders to* a divinity lint C'inna when he compared his happiness to the -« a. forgot that the sea had its ebb. At the end of a year. Antea was seized with a cruel and mysterious illness. Her dreams changed into terrifying visions which weakened her strength. The rosv tint of health faded from her sweet f ice, leaving only a waxen pallor. The visions became more frequent: they soon liecaine daily, and followed the invalid wherever she hid herself By the the doctor's advice. Cinna -fur rounded her with strolling musicians. with Bedouin- playing on rht-ir earthen liijx-s, whow loud mtuic should still the mnrmnrs of these invisible spirits, but all was in vain. Antfa heard them all the same, and when the »vm was enough in the heavens that a man could see his shadow at his feet, like a garment which h»> had east from him then, in the Imrning atmosphere, the apparition would show itself and, fa.-t enuitf on Antea its evil gaze, retire slowly before her. as if inviting her to follow. . A Greek doctor was of opinion that it was Hecate who appeared to Antea. and that the prticeisiOH that >»o tcrri tied the poor irirl was that of the ill omened go<I». In his opinion, then' was no possible remedy, for whoever has beheld Hecate is fatallj condemned to dissolution. And Cinna, who up to now had only a smile of disdain for the worship of Hecate, prostrated himself before her altar, and offered to her "hecatombs but the goddess remained inflexible, and the following day the phantom with the hollow eyes would reappear to Antea. They tried bandaging the eyes, but the vision could t«- seen through the thickest veils; in a place from where all light was excluded it came from be hind the walls, and the blue lights which emanated from it dispersed the . shadows. In the evening the invalid felt better; she then fell into a sleep so deep that .KU net Lines Cinna and Tiinon feared she would never awake. Little by little »he became so weak that she was un able to walk. They carried her on a ' litter. About this time a celebrated Jewsib ' doctor, son of Khusa, arrived at Alex 1 andria. coming from Cesarea. finna ' at once consulted him, and in amo ment hope revived in lus heart Jo soph, who believed neither in Greek nor Koiimn gods, rejected Hecate s in T'TVrTTTT'TTT TTirTT MP j them that the invalid was jK»sessed by • devils, and that it was necessary that she should quit Egypt at once, where, besides the devils, the air was impreg natcd with the effluvia from the Delta, which was hurtful to her health. He advised, probably because he wan a " Israelite, to transport Antea to .lerusa j lem. a town where the infernal |><»\vein | ' had no access, and where the air w,i;< healthy and strengthening. finna was the more inclined to fol low this advice as, in the first case no other suggested itself to him. and sec ondly, he knew the judge at Jerusalem, whose ancestors had been clients of his family. Ami, in fact, on their arrival the Judge Pontius received them with open arm* and offered them his residence to stay in in the outskirts (if tin town. But the faint hope which Cinna had cherished vanished even before the end of the voyage. The visions followed Antea on board ship, and the poor child saw the hours of trie afternoon arrive with the same dread as formerly in Alexandria. The days passed for her in sadness, and in the fear and expecta tion of death. In tin. atriurp, in spite of the fresh ness of the fonntains and the shadow of the porticoes, the heat was over whelming after early morning. The marbles became burning under the rays of the spring sun, but. not far from the house, an old pistachio tree with its thick leaves spread out its pro tecting branches. It was there that Cinna had the conch brought, strewn with hyacinths and apple blossom where Antea reposed. And sitting by hbi*. he caressed lier hands, white ns alabaster, and inquired softly "Thou art well here, Carissima?" "Yes, well," she answered in a low voice. After a minute, Antea sjnike again Cains," nlie said, "is it true that in this country there is arisen a philoso pher who cures the sick V, Hero they call them prophets " an swered ('inna. "I have heard sjieak of this one, and I would have taken thee to him, but I have been told he is only an impost/»r. lie blasphemes against the Temple, and the established relig ion. This is why the judge has con detuned hirn to death, and to day, in fact, he is to be crucified." Antea looked -down "it is time tliat will curu thee." said Cinna tenderly, observing the shadow that crossed her face "Time is at the service of the dead, not of the living," she answered sadly. ' And again silence resigned In the distance the sound of steps w; head. Antea became very pale. Her heart beat tumultously. But Cinna 1 calmed her, taking her hand in his. "Ant« a, fear nothing; the step* yon 1 hear. I hear them myself. And he Added, after a moment, "It must be Pontius Pilate.. In fact, a turn in the road showed ' them the judge, who was approaching, followed by his slave > He was a man advanced in years ' with a round face carefully shaven, whose expression was at the sau)e time ' solemn and anxious. "I salute thee, noble ( inna, and thee, divine Antea," he said advancing. ' "Solitude conduces to grief and sick : ness; groundlei.;< fears assail one rarely ' in the centre of a crowd; therefore I ' will give thee counsel. Unfortunately we are neither in Antiocb nor in Co-sarea; we have neither races nor public games, and if one attempted to I establish circuses, the people would im 1 mediately destroy them. The fanatics have but on«! word in their mouths 'The law and the prophets ' • >ne is ceas' le*slv coming across this invariable | refrain. 'ln truth, I should prefer to \ live amongst the Scythians rather than at Jerusalem What advice wouldst thou give its?" demanded ( inna. "Thou art right I stray from my ' subject; the reason is. I am s<> much preoccupied 1 said then, in the midst j of a crowd one is not haunted by ~ groundless fears Well, then, in a few | moments you may see a sight. Here on< must lie content with but little; the ' chief point is th.it Antea -diould l>e -ur rounded during tie hours of the after a noon To-day three men must die on the cross; it will at any rate be a dis traction.

I will I give orders that they reserve for yon , the best places near the crosses. I have ; ( every reason to believe that the con demned will put a good face 011 the matter. One of them is an extraordi 1 nary man: he pr • -lainis himself Son j of God.' In fact, harmless as a dove, he lias done nothing to merit death. "And thou hast condemned him to 1 be crucified?" "What was I to do? I wished to avoid complications. 111 order not to ex ( asperate the swarm of wasps which hover round the Temple They would 1 be capable of denouncing me at Rome, i Moreover, it does not concern a Roman citizen.' "But will the unfortunate man suf fer less because of that?" The judge did not answer. A mo ment after, he continued "I tell you. go. see the crucifixion. I am convinced the Nazarene will die courageously. Twice I have gone down to the tribunal: 1 have spoken to the high priests, the leprous fanatics They answered me with one voice, shaking their heads and grinding their teeth. 'Crucify him' Crucify him!' "And thou hast given in?' said Cinna. "How do otherwise? There would have been trouble in the town, and they have placed me here to maintain order. 1 have a horror of difficulties, and am morally lazy; but when I mi dertake a thing I wish to see it well though, and I do not hesitate to sacri fice the life of one to the general well fare, especially when it is an unknown person for Whom 110 one cares. It is unfortunate for him that he is not a Roman." ' The sun does not shine only for Rome," murmured Antea. "Divine Antea." replied the judge, "I might answer that the Roman power stretches into the far distant horizon, and that therefore it is expedient to sacrifice all to its interests, and dis putes shake this jsiwer. This is why I beseech thee not to me to recall my decree. China will tell thee that it would l>e inipo-.-ible, and {hat once a judgment given, the emperor alone could annul it. I. even if 1 wished it, could not do so. Is not this true Cai us?" "It is thus' lint these words visibly affected Antea. She murmured in a low voice, speaking perhaps to herself: "Then one can suffer and die inno cent ?" "No one is innocent," answered Pi late. "Without doubt, the Nazarene has committed no crime: ,*Uso. as judge, have 1 washed my hands o! his condem nation; but as a man I disavow hC teachings. 1 questioned him long enough, wishing to penetrate to the root, and I am convinced that he preaches things unprecedented, in.nl mihsible. Before everything, the world ought to be guided by reason Let every one think as his own cons.-ience pleases, so long as he does not annoy others. If Ido not believe in the gods, that is my affair; but I recognize the necessity of a religion because it is a restraint on the people. Horses must b»; bridifd, and bridled. After all. death ought not to be terrible to thi-. adventflrer. for he affirms that he will rise again. " Cinna and Antea exchanged looks of stupe fact ion. "That he will rise again';" "Neither more nor less the third day —this is what sustains his disciples. As for himself, I have forgotten to question him about it But that of small important-? Even if h«i docs not rise again be will lose nothing, as, by his account, true happiness, eternal life, only begin after death. The depths of hi-* Hades are more brilliant than our world, lighted by the lumi nous star, and he who suffers most here la-low will the more surely enjoy spirit ual happiness; but. for that, one must love, love, always love!" "What a singular doctrine'" sighed Antea. •'And the Jews force tins- to crucify him?" repeated Cinna. "Ah there is nothing surprising in that; the spirit of the nation is hate. Is it not hate alone that could wish to crucify love? ' Alitea raised her emaciated hands to her forehead. "And he is convinced that one can live and be happy beyond the tomb?" ' Yes, and it is owing to this !>elief that the greatest torture his no terror "How sweet it would la- to think that, Cinna!" After a pause she asked again; "And from whence does he get this revelation?"

( 'inna opened his mouth as if wishing to speak, but lie remained silent, and the conversation ceased. Meanwhile Pontius Pilate continued his reflections to himself upon the incomprehensible doctrines that he had been describing, for he shook his head from time to time and shrugged his shoulders. At last lie rose to take leave. Suddenly Antea raised herself. "Cains, let us go to see this Naza rene." "Thou must hasten, then." said Cinna. "the procession will Is-starting." The sky, which since the morning had been clear and brilliant, became covered towards midday. From the north west heavy clouds suddenly ap pearud threatening and stormy; streaks of blue still divided them, but it was easy to predict that soon they would reunite and cover the entire heavens. I'pon the platform called Golgotha were seen groups of people who had preceded tin,' procession before it left the town. The sun rose in the heavens and lighted the part of the sky which the clouds had not yet covered. The hour was approaching when, as a rujf, no r.ound ir, hf.aid upon the heights, when every living thing seeks shelter under the shadow of the ramparts or in the hollows of the rocks; ami, in spite of the unaccustomed animation, a kind of sadness fell ni>on this place, where the sun never shines upon the green earth and lightens but a desolate waste of gray stone whilst, the mnrmer of vole..;*, coming from over tlie walls, re sembled the sound of the waves break ing on a silent shore The groups which, since sunrise, had b-> n waiting upon Golgotha had their eyes turned in the direction of the town whence, at any moment, the procession might start Antea's litter advanced, preceded by some soldiers who guarded her, and whose mission it was to repress the insolence of the people, always hos tile to strangers. Gitiua walked at the side of the litter, accompanied by the centurion Rufus Antea did not an pt *.tr agitated, although the hour for the apparitions approached. The account given by the judge on the subject of the young prophet had greatly touched her and turned her mind from her own miseries. It had for her something fascinating and incomprehensible. Doubtless the world which she knew showed her examples of men who had not rebelled against death. But with them it was the courage of the sage submitting to the law of nature, to the cruel but inevitable necessity of ex changing light for darkness, the reali ties of life for a state of indefinable annihilation. But no one cheri.-ihed the conviction that bevond the tomb a new existence awaited them, unending happiness, which alone can be given us by a God all powerful and eternal. (Concluded next. week.)

President McKinley sent to the senate the following nominations: State To be ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States: John Hay of the District of Col umbia. to Great Britain: Horace Port*r of New York, to France: Henry White of Rhode Island, to l>e secretary of the embassy of the United States to Great Britain THK short but very lucid message which President McKinley sent to Con gress is scarcely more than a preface to the Tariff bill which the Dingley Com mittee has now completed. The Presi dent's statement of the conditions which confront ns is an indictment: his declaration that Congress must promptly act is a truism: and his for l»earance on every other subject and his economy of words regarding even the business now in hand, constitute a promise that whatever this Adminis tration may do or leave undone, it does not intend to be a talk-shop.
