things constitute the oery harvest time of spec

at once idle and crafty. 4 disor-

Congress-.

Senator Bayard is quoted as saying that
this Congress has done less good and less
harm than Its friends and enemies suppose.
1t has not certainly made bad laws in profu-
sion, and it has neglected many opportuni-
ties for doing mischief, chiefly however, for
want of time. The House was perplexed to
choose among the thousands of unwise meas
ures proposed to it for passage, and like the
ass between the bundles of hay, did nothing
But it kept the country anxious and dis
quieted through out the session, and the busi-
ness interests and property rights of the peo.
pie have been menaced by the schemes of
plunder and repudiation introduced every
week. There was no knowing what the dema-
gogues who controlled the House might do,
and no man cared to undertake enterprises
while the uncertainty lasted. For what we
have escaped we should be thankful to those
Of our representatives who stoutly fought
against evil ways, and succeeded in postpon-
ing if not defeating so much unwise and dis
honorable legislation.
But if we may give credit to Congress for
SAAS
for the important matters of legislation it neg
lected and for its sins of commission. For ex.
ample: 1t should have made changes in the
manner of the election of President providing
against repetition of the dangerous wrangle
of 1876. Instead of that it gave the greater por-
tion of its time to discussion of the last Pres
idential election. 1t should have provided a
sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the
government. Instead of that it reduced the
revenue by twelve million dollars and in
creased the appropriations by twenty mil
lions.
Among the few good things it has done are
the repeal of the bankrupt law and the defeat
of the tariff bill. But the sum of its offenses
is much larger than that of its good deeds,
and there will be general feeling of relief at
its adjournment, for its capacity for mischief
was intolerably great.
