What the present Congress must do.

From the Toledo Blade.
What the present Congress must do.
The forty third congress will soon COM
mence its second session. The Republi-
cans have large majority in each branch,
and can carry any measure agreed upon.
Their time will be short, but their ma
chinery is all manned and in good work
ing order. They must enter upon work
earnestly at the outset and not let any
thing prevent them from accomplishing
that which must be done if they would
regain the confidence of the people and in
sure success for the Republican par ty in
the coming Presidential struggle. Ii
is notorious fact that congressional ap-
propriations have become recklessly ex
travagant in many particulars. These
must be cut down. There must be a f.
nancial relief afforded through some chan
mel which cannot iail.to secure beneficial
results The Presidents salary should be
placed back TO the time honored 5000.
In short congress must consult public SEN
aiment, and not set at naught the well
known wishes Of the people By doing
this the victories achieved By the Dem
ocrats this Fall cannot be repeated two
years hence. 1t is for congress at its
present session To say whether the victo.
ries shall I've temporary or permanent.
