Hseems very odd to fnd Boston man weeping over
Tie progress Of manufactures and yet that is just
what Charles Pelham Curtis did in the Fourth-oi-
July grafton in Boston in 1923. Cotton mills, ac-
eordng to Charles would bring in pestileuce, fam
me and death. The minds of operatives would
"become contracted; their fbers relaxed; their
"lungs enfeebed; and at maturity, instead Of pos
"sesspg the skill TO guide the ship imperial through
"the wave, they would be fitted for no ayocauon
(which requires irmness of body or fortitude of
mind" Thus you see that the Boston Curti have
in oil ages found something unpleasant going on;
and the wonder is that under the disgusting crcum-
stances they consent 70 live at all.
1t may do no harm to note, in these days Of multi
tudinous and multfarous legislation that during its
second session the Fifth Congress, 1877, passed
forty-twO acts, covering thirty two pages Oi these
acts ten wero strictly private bills for the relief OF
individuals. One was the General Appropriation
bil-for the President and VicePresident, $50, 900;
for paying Senate and House, Sl90,l75; fre-wood,
stationery, printing for both Houses, $4,000; sal
aries in the State Department 81, l62 81, for the
Treasury stationery, $500; frewood and stationery,
printing and rent and other contingent expenses Of
the War Office, $4,000! For light-house Con
Qrcss appropriated only $50, 900. which was an sd
vance upon the previous year, occasioned by the
