Congressional.

Senator Morrill, on Monday objected
to taking up the tea and coffee bill be-
cause of the absence of the chairman of
the committee on finance (Mr Sherman)
and also because he thought it ought not
to be considered until the committee on
privileges and elections have reported on
the questions of jurisdiction between the
two Houses in relation TO the tariff bill.
Senator Wilson urges that Congress
should remain in session through the
month of June. and, when the nomina-
tons have been made at Cincinnati and
Philadelphia, that the republican mem
bers Of C0ngrcst should invite rather
than shun debate. \ thorough debate
of all the issues and of the claims of the
parties, he believes, would help the re-
publican party. The majority OF the
Senate, however, do not agree with Mr.
Wilson, but hold that, just as soon as
the necessary legislation is accomplished,
Congress should adjourn.

What to Do About the HigA Price
OF Meat. ,Gbl1
from Tho Providence JourpAl.)

(From the Providence JonrnAl.)
There has been q sight Of complaint
about the high price Of butchers meat. 1t
has been said that thirty 70 thirty three
cents per pound for steak isa hlgh f7dfe;
and so II 8, but thereto something % Be
said on the other side. Everybody now
wants either steak or the best roasting
pieces. A moments reflection sufilces to
show that when only q small portion OF
the carcase Is demanded, that part must
be sold for enough to pay profit on the
whole. We think that the press should
let up on the butchers and come down,
"like thousand Of BRICK" upon the
housekeepers. There are cheap pieces Of
meat which make the best Of soup, and
there Is this unansyerable argument, IN
favor Of thelr purchaSe and use-itcAh b
done in . genteel way There is nothing
more pslatable, there Is nothing more
nouriShing, there Is nothing more Haristo.
cratic" than nice soup. And there Is
nothing so economical, A plate OF soup
Is almost dinner, and q plate, of SCUM can
be made for a few cents, md 50 made as
TO add grace to the finest dinner, while
II almost obVlates the necessity Of any
other dinner. In England, where there
have been riots among the women on &C.
count Of the high price Of meat, the Aus.
trallan prepared meat is scorned. II Is
good, It Is cheap, but It Is not what they
are accustomed to, and 80 even the pau
pers fed at the public expense, take Il IN.
high dudgeon II they are asked to eat It.
OF course We are q great deal more In,
telligent than the poor classes OF England,
but nevertheless we spend twice as much
for butchers meat as we need TO, or as Is
good for our health. Household econo.
my, as It is known and practiced in
France and Germany, Is something we
know 'nothiHg about; Every year the
family expenses of tie Amer esn house.
keeper are growing larger. The incomes,
taken by and large, are not increasing In
anything like the same ratio. The time
must come, then, for retrenchment. In
some department there must be more
careful adaptation OF means to ends. The
truth must not only be learned but acted
upon, that respectability does not depend
upon keeping Q gig, nor upon following
the fashions. We are recovering little,
We think, from the shoddy experience and
food Of the war and q few years after,
but there Is good deal to DO done yet to
get back, or into the straight and narrow
road Of common sense, The wasteiul-
ness in Kitchens will be one Of the FIRST
things remedied, and tue idea that dress
three months old is necessarily and there.
fore unfit to wear, will be the next. The
race Of fools will not be exterminated,
but there will be beneficial development
OF the sense and comfort oil the great mass
who are willing to learn, and who, atlsSt,
arc the Representatives as they are the
support OF the nation.
