C-, yesterday when the committee of which he is vice chairman, resumes consideration of Its reports on the workmens' liability resolution, in an effort to, if possible, {hake report to the next Congress session. This is a most ardeous work, and requires a profound knowledge of law, constitutional and statuary, and it was a most fitting tribute to Mr. Brantley's ability and standing as a lawyer when he was appointed on this committee; and as ho is attend ing to the duties incident to this con nection it is requiring so much study work and research that it occupies all pi his time to the exclusion of visiting or calling on his friends; but the Important work ot establishing a standard of liabilty strictly within the law is so very great that Mr. Brantley is to he commended for his effort in this direction. It is generally known among Mr. Brantley's friends that ho will again make the rac^ for Congress, and in deed the district cannot afford to let him do otherwise. v Iiis rank anti In fluence in Congress Is such that' we could not permit him to retire if he should so elect. It is generally understood that there will be no opposition to Mr. Brantley and that he will have a walk-over. This is as it should be. He deserv-J es it and the district deserves hisj services. V | Congressman Edwards, who will! also be a candidate to succeed him self, was in the city yesterday, and we trust he also will have no oppo sition, for he has made a fine record.
