Washington, April 8.-National af-, fairs to the keen observer, "never pre sented more interesting features than at the presnt tim. Prudent Wil son's victory In having the house pass the Sims canal toll bill, in spite of opposition- which at times "threatened to cause its defeat, has been ?be weans of making .tho President strong? er than before. it bs true there are many who profess to see a split In the ranks of democracy 'in the near future and..who say the canal tolls issue should never have been injected Into tba political situation at the present ? me. but lt is only natural that .such should be: the case.

A day or two ago when the poltfNPflJ was -considering the legislative appro-J pri?tions bill and ab amendment wail proposed which would* have cut off the ??cn?renf mileage, a smile could be seen 'going around tile galleries that surround the four cides ot the house. caid, Just the same old thing that the country has. been listening to tor, the fceati'ten yeure. It would not' .-..lia. stricken out. the .galleries whispered* ?iiiplte of all tho talk about fairness and honesty and ail that kind of thfng. The nmc.idment did Pot go through, bbl herc is what did. The house vot ed to allow its members an additional $300r a ye.ar each tor office help, mak ing .the allowance for this ? purpose hereafter $1.800 Instead of $1,500. There ls no law which requires a member to pay out thia money to hts secretary.and thc latter does not draw bis compensation directly from tho government H may thu? be seen that un unscrupulous- member might in Mils ?v=v be?e?*. hiriiiiel?^gnssclr.'.'.y. though, bf ctourso, tho majority would ubt stoop to such a thing.
