TIE ADJOVEN,IEST,

The NXXIlId Congress closes this morning its first
Session, which has been protrscted through eight
calendar months We risk nothing in saying that this
adjournment, delayed it has been until it may
well have been despaired of, is by far the most pep
ular act of the Session. But there never was any
danger that the majority would unite in Singing 1--WE
won't 90 home till morning" and hold over unit,
the first Monday in December because they would
have lost money by the operation-that is they will
now charge far more for their actual or imaginary
Journey home and back again between the two SEES
sous than they could have taken for sitting through
TO the end Of their term without True, there
are many of them who, as one of the Members con-
fdentially wrote 10 bis cTony "could make great
deal of money" by remaining aud legisatins; but
what is the of voting money ont Of the Treasury
when there is none left in il Enormous az is the
Revenue of the current year. we think The Expend
lures will outrunit. We notice that the Treasury
reports the disbursements for the quarter ending with
Juse last at something over Twenty-three Millions,
or at the rate of Ninety-too Millions per sRRam We
presume this includes considerable payments of prin
cipal of our Public Deb; but, after making due
allowance for these, believe the current Expeudi-
lures of the Federal Government for 1888 will not
fall below Sixty and may eveA reach Seventy Millions
of Dollars If such are the public charges in state
of profound peace what would they be in case Of War
Let this question be earnestly pOndered ere We EN-
bark in a raid on Cuba.
The prodigslity of this Congress has been bound
less and unparalleled. New Offices, increased saa-
ries, extra allowances, have followed each other in
bewilderns profusion. The payment of Fen Millions
to santa Anna for strip of territory which he had
right to sell and need to buy, and which would
have been dear at Million If We had wanted it, is
fair sample Of the doinss of the Session. And while
money was lavishtd without stint on the Navy and
useless, absurd FortihcatiODs, the Two Millions
less appropriated by the most msritorOus measure
of the Session to the improvement OF Rivers and Har-
tors. was ruthlessy struck down by the Presidents
