of the probable future work of Congress. On
Monday no fewer than $50 bills were pre-
| scnted-an average of nearly three to every
member. Scanning their titles, we are
impressed. with the almost total absence
of what might he called political meas
urcs Not a single bill was offered for
which the support OF one party and the
opposition of the other can be predicted
with certainty. Some, like the' bill Ter the
abolition Of the lron-cad oath. and the re-
mOyal of all remaining political disab. litles
imposed by the XIYtb Amendment, VII re
ceiyc the solid support OF one SIDE 81 the

hostility OF the other side, and they cannot,
therefore. he characterized as strict party
measures. Probably Che Oldest member OF
Congress never before saw a session open
without a solitary proposition being offered
that could be defined MS Republican or Demo
cratic. and that appealed only to one of the two
parties for its adoption.
The significance of this absence of partisan
LEGISLATION is increased when the character ot
the import mt bills presented is examined.
Nearly all Of them dcll with business inter
ests. The tariff, the internal revenue the cur
rcncy the coinage. the banking system, the
bankruptcy law, and the resumption law, all
receive attention. 1t must be confessed that
the multitude OF bills for postporing resump-

IEg fact that whatever sum of intelligence and

the future Of politics diSpOSes members to drop

rency. had capitulated to the Pennsylvania in
hationists 1t would naturally be supposed
that the new committee represented bis own

PEELED TO consult the wish of the majority OF
the House.
Fernando Wood is not exactly the man who
ought to be intrusted with an Overhauling OF
the tariff OF revenue systems, or with the power
of or oGcio leader of the House. His expert
ence as a legislator weighs in his favor; his
shrewdness and tact make him str ng man
in the House he represents Democratic
stronghold and the chief commercial city in the
country. Fair men, also, remember with ap-
probation his vigorous opposition to tho Dem
ocratc flibusters at tho last session. Mr.
Randall is n PENNSYLVANIA Protectionist, and
Mr.. Wood il a decided Free-trader, but
again the supposed temper Of the majority In
the House will stand rs q reason for the Sc
lection, and Mr.. Randall, perhaps, INDUCES
the assurance that no tariff which can
possibly be passed by a Democratic House
will also be passed by Republican Senate.
Nr. Wood is altogether preferable to some
men who have been named for the position,
and it is encouraging TO know that, in re-
spect TO details which do not affect the inter
ests of parties, or the success of economic
theories, he will naturally seek information
from the practical business men of thu city.

mission.

Mr. Randalps organization Of committees ia
matter of National Importance. HIS position
was one of great dccacy. If he consulted the
wishes of h's party in his own state, he was
bound so to frame his committees as to favor
retention Of protective duties, repeal OF the
Resumption Act, and liberal appropriations for
internal improvements. He may say with truth
hat he has not altogether consulted his own
interests, so far as those depend dpon Demo
cratic favor III his own State. Bat he has con-
sdered the better sentiment Of his own party
a. TO frugality Of expenditures. and as TO the
repeal OF the pledge of resumption has so ar
ranged tho committee that the question will
probably come before the House without strong
influence in either direction. As to the tariff
Democratic Speaker has probably trusted to
the disposition of ii Republican Senate.
The Committee on Appropriations appears
to be decidedly hostile to the habit of reck
less and wastcful expenditures. In this par
ticular, Mr.. Randall has been a useful member
He has killed a great many jobs, and he used
his influence az Speaker TO Kill a great many
at the close of the last session. Large re-
trrnchIncnt has been effected, in part be
cause of his influence and. although he has
sometimes employed his power unwisely. and
has pushed his party forward to some acts,
nominaIly of retrcnchment, but really of pc
ouliaT dctriment to public interests, his efforts
have been, in the main. beneficial to the
country After all allowance for apprOpria-
tons which ought to have been made, IA con-
siderable saving was effected by tho last Con
gIess, and the organization of the new Com
mittee or Appropriations gives assurance that
legislation viii probably not err on the side of
extravaganza.
The selection of Mr. BIckner, Of Missouri
as Chairman Of the Committee on Banking and
Currency can be excused only on tho plea that
the majority of the House required such rep
resentatiye. Some capable advocates of q sound
currency are placed on the Committee bat il
il not supposed that they will have much in
fucnce. Mr.. Buckner is a man who works
himself into great heat about the misbcha-
yior of the East and the wrongs Of the West
in the matter of currency he never has dis
covered that no legislation conceivable can
create surplus capital in "a section which
lacks it; and he il called less extreme
