THE WORK OF CONGRESS. We publish in
another part of this paper resume of the
work transacted so far by Congress, and the
work that remains unfinished Most of the
appropriation bills are still unfinished, although
they are generally pretty well advanced, and
are mostly halted by reason of some nharmo-
NOUS amendments. The Army, Tax and Tariff,
Banking, Funding and Naturalization bills are
in pretty much the same condition, while the
Apportionment bill, after having passed both
houses has been put back so far on account of
disagreeing amendments that it will probably
have to take an entirely new start. These are
all important measures, which should be
passed, and, as there are only seventeen
more working days in the session, it behooves
the conference committees having them in
charge to make haste with them.
