CONGRESS AND us sHoRTc0MIYes

At four o'clock this afternoon the country
can breathe freer. Congress is then to adj
iourn. OF this body its apOlOgists have
been saying that, if it has done little, 1t
has at least done little harm. A just review Of
the performances of the two houses during
the session of eight months win lead TO q
different conclusion. 1t is true that the House
has originated nearly all the mischief II has
been restrained, in many matters OF import
ance, by the Republican opinions or The greater
prudence of the Senate. Much pestilent legis-
iation has been prevented, also, by the mere
certainty that the Senate would prove an
effectual barrier. This has been especially
true OF Southern claims and jobs. How will

RdpJD BUT LTsnTED TR1ysTT

The Metropolitan Railroad has been running Cor
scarcely fortmsht, yet in that short time it has
demonstrated two things clearly: First, that the
public is heartily In favor Of that mode Of trpnsis,
and second, that with Its present capacities the
road is inadequate TO meet the demands made upon
IL. The public is delighted with the handsome
commodlOus smoothly-rolling cars, and rightly
votes the road one Of the best equipped in the
country. SO much has been done for the
comfort Of the passengers that criticism seeras
almost mgrateful. Yet Che fact is patent to every
regular traveller that tho road is unable 10 carry the
people who are eager TO ride upon 1t. Upon no day
since Il was opened has IL been able 30 carry at all
10 say nothing of carrying comfort, hundreds Of
people who have been Of its stations and waited IN
vain for even standing-roOm OF course this fail
ure has occurred only daring the busy hours Of the
afternoon. but that Is the test for that Is the time
when rapid transit Is most desired. After 8 o'clock
