The country will appreciate the early ac-
ton of the Republican members of the House
to repeal the disgraceful salary act of the last
Congress. 1t is hoped that both houses will
act promptly in the matter both as an act Of
justice demanded by the intelligence of the
nation, and as measure that will secure the
Republican members the renewed confidence
OF the people. Congress may as well make up
its mind that, except in the districts of New
YORK and Philadelphia where majorlties are
purchased, no member who votes to retain
the present measure will again have the op-
portunity o; misrepresenting the people of
any state of the north, in the next National
Legislature. There is an additional reason
for the repeal of the salary act in the fact that
large reduction has already taken place in
the wages of all classes of laborers, and there
IS no reason why the salaries of Congressman
should be made an exception in the general
shrinkage of values.

Congress will meet with oraat dasl Of
work to be done, and we hope it will Cd
to do it. Senator .Fenton goes about hroc-
ging that he means to prove his ability as !.
leader Of the opposition by demanding !.
score or so of investigating committees. In this
way he hopes to embarrass the real business
ofthe year, and get up good cry against the
Republican party. We trust that Congress
will not forget that the nation expects it to
attend to its pressing business the very first
thing. 1t can grind Senator Fenton's axes
afterward, If it is SO disposed, But let us
have some work done before the ''palaver'
begins.-N. Y. Times.

MIR. MULLETT, the Supervising Architect
OF the Government, calls attention in his re-
port to the bad effects of the eight hour law of
Congress. He says that it has cost The Gov
ernment |'millions of dollars without benefit
ting the laborer in the slightest degree" He
declares that the laborers employed on Gov
ernment works, actually perform less work
per hour than they used to do, to say nothing
of the two hours lost every day. Mr.. Null
let's statements are well worth the consider
alton of Congress. Other complaints are
made as to the workings of the eight honr rule
by those who employ laborers in the vicinity
of our navy yards, as it renders it impossible
to get men to work on farms or other indus
tries at fair rate. In passing, it may be
remembered that the reference to the increas-
ed cost Of government work under the eight
hour system, is the first instance in which
Mr.. Mnllett ever recognized the fact of cost
in the construction of public buildings.

1884, ,O5O.8 than was expended for the same
purpose, the preceding year. Although the
statement of expenditures would indicate ma
terial reduction in the amount compared with
the preceding year, it Is believed that the chan
ges in the pension laws at the last session of
Congress- win absorb that amount the current
year.
At the close of the fiscal year there were on
the pension rolls 80 804 invalid military pension
ers and 49, ,0SS widows, orphans, and depend
ent widows of deceased soldiers, making q total
OF that class of 2l1 1872. There are iS,26S sur
soldiers of that war pensioned under an act of
Congress of Feb. 14th, 1871, making total of
that class of %, 319. There are 1880 invalid
navy pensioners and ITO widows, orphans and
dependent relatives of deceased officers, sailors
and marines of the navy making total of ma
Wy pensioners of 1900, and a grand total of pen
sioners of all classes of 23S All, showing net
increase during the last fiscal year of 6,182.
During the last year the names OF l64O5 pen

THE CENSUS.
The ninth census has been completed and
the report thereof published, distributed, and
the working force Of the bureau disbanded.
The Secretary of the Interior rencws his re-
commendation for census to be taken in 1875,
to which subject the attention of Congress- is
invited. The original suggestion in that behals
has met with the general approval of the coun-
try and even if it be not deemed advisable at
present to provide for a regular quinqueunial
census, census taken IN 1875, the report of
which could be completed and be publishea
before the one hundredth anniversary of o.

quiring small doses to effect q

1t comes nearer being a speci-
6c than any other medicine now
sold, is indorsed by the most
learned and skillful physicians in
the country.
1t appeals to the common sense
OF the people, because of its eff
cacy in the cure of chills and fe.
yer, enlarged spleen, bilious fe-
yer and others of miasmatic ori-
gin; because Of its permanent ef-
fects in removing the cause or
neutralizing the effects of malar-
ious poison; and because of its
cheapness which places it in the
reach of every family. Buy it
and try it, and if, after closely
following the directions, a cure is
not effected, return to the drug
gists and demand your money
back again.
