The Duty or Congress.

IF Congress does not do something
for the good of the country, members
may calculate on hanging their harps
on the willow trees. Their records
during the war will not save them.
Their records in the period imme-
dIately following the war will not
serve their purpose now. There is
time Tor laughing and a time for
weeping. There Is also a time for
generalltles and he-oics, and a time
for downright hard work and practi-
cabllIty. Now. Is the time for down
right hard work and practicabilitv.
The men who understand the situ-
alton well know that, though Congress-
has been In session nearly half a
year, it has, as yet, done nothing of
benefit to the country in those nrac-
tical matters in which everv mer-
chant, every mechanic, every laborer
every citizen of the republic of what.
soever calling, is interested, in that
particular which is of all things most
potential in the shaping of policies
and the centrol of public affairs-the
pocket.
1t is not to be denied that the ad-
ministration has, as a matter of fact,
done much more for the country than
Congress has done. 1t has inaugu-
rated economy. It has saved much
money for the people. It has demon
strated the most important truth that
the government can be carried on for
many millions less than it had been
carried on before this administration
came into power. But Congress
has been frittering away its time.
It has spent weeks on the tariff
question, and the sariff question re-
mains in statls Qlto ante bellHns. Much
time has been consumed in the
Funding Bill Ia measure clearly fore
cast by the National Republican Con-
vention of 1869, and we are, appar-
emily, no nearer the funding Of the
national debt than we were when Lee

city this year will be nearly n per

AT last the Sentinel has been
smoked out. Under orders from

Can not be Justly claimed as friend

Der from Indiana whose name IS re-
corded against that plan of disposing

omits to say that Mr.. VOORHEES,
is the Attorney Of the Fremont Pa
ciic Road, and lately argued
Its case before the House Pacific
Railroad Committee. The Sentinel is
compelled to defend Mr.. Voorhees,,
a1d to announce that that ambitious
statesman will soon let loose some of
his thunderous rhetoric In defense of
the system of squandering the public

THE departure Of Bishop Simpson
for Germany, will make change in
the presiding officer Of the Indiana
Conference at its next session. The
deaths of Bishop Thompson and
Kingsley, and the feebleness and i'll
health Of Bishop Morris, Baker and
Scott, necessarily impose extraordi-
dinary labor apon the remaining
Bishops. Several of the Conferences
will. no doubt, have to depend upon
special appointments for presiding
officers.

A FRUIT grower tells of the follow

worms IN trees: He bored q down
slanting hole nearly through the tree.
filed it with powdered sulphur, and
then plugged the hole. In a few
days the worms rolled out of the tree

mated the sap and made the worms
sick. The trial was on a locust tree,
