WASHINGTON LETTER.
Soecial 0 The C smatereial.
Washingtcn, March 17.—There has
been sufficient time to get an idea of
the manner in which the new Presi-
dent will handle the affairs of State.
He has already shown himself to be
an able executive, giving attention to
important matters in person and let-
ting his assistants handle questions of
routine. He has not been precipitate
in making official appointments and
yet he has not balked at choosing
men where vacancies made prompt
action necessary. He has shown him-
self to be firm yet diplomatic, and his
course gives promise of an able, effi-
cient, businesslike and satisfactory
administration to the nation at large.
THE SPECIAL SESSION.
Perhaps it is proper that a subject
of such universal importance as the
tariff should be the only. subject taken
up at the special session. There is
much pressure for the consideration
of other subjects, such as the curren-
cy, strengthening the Sherman Act,
revising the statutes to bring them
into harmony with the ideas of con-
servation, and various other things
which have earnest advocates. It is
not possible to say just what legisla-
tion will be considered in the special
session, but there is a disposition to
make the scope of activity as narrow
as possible. Chairman Underwood of
the Ways and Means Committee ex-
pects to be ready with the tariff bills,
but as there will be considerable de-
bate on them the session is likely to
stretch into months. Reductions of
tariff are certain to be made. The
farming interests are anxious for they
get as much consideration as they
should have had. The cry for cheap-
the root of the farmer’s prosperity,
{ and, of course, the legislators desire
| to be cautions with respect to this.

ple of the United States a number of
new men on whose shoulders. fall the
mantles of departed statesmen—de-
parted, in most cases, to the private
and peaceful walks of life.
ives in themain, these new statesmen
are in general young, enterprising,
ambitious and capable. They are
ready to grapple with the problems
and the all have promises to fulfill as
to their stewardship. Already many
of them have been broken in, to seme
extent. They came on early and
learned how things were done before
the old session died. Two from Cali-
fornia, Representatives Wm. A. Kett-
early in the last session, and another
Western member, Sinnott, of Oregon,
did likewise. Kettner had to take
the place of Representative Smith,
whose long illness ended in death,
not long before the end of the session.
As the Exposition City of San Diego
wanted some legislation in the inter-
ests of the harbor, it was up to Kett-
ner to get busy months before he had
any official standing, and his success
is getting an appropriation is looked
on as littie short of miraculous by
many old members.
Church and Judge Baker, who has
already served one term, California
has three typically alert, young and
able Democratic members of the
House. It is such timber that makes
the country look to the Progressive
Democracy for valuable achievements.

Easter Great Russian Feast.
Easter is pre-eminently the great
feast of Russia. In the old country at
midnight on Easter eve the bells of the
great tower of the Kremlin in Moscow:
‘peal out the tidings of the resurrec-
tion, to be followed by the clamorous
chords of every church bell in the em-
pire. The cities of the country blaze
J ‘Tato light. Around every church, large:
and small, are piles of Easter cakes.
Processions of priests go through the
‘streets in the towns. People bearing
tapers fellow them back to the im-
pressive services. The Easter kiss,
