The Closing Scene.

Washington, July 1.-The first ses-
sion of the Forty-sixth congress was
brought TO its close yesterday afternoon
amid the usual amount of hustle and
confusion attendant upon individual
members to secure final action in one
house which had previously passed the
other, and to get them endorsed and
rushed to the president in time for his
signature before the clerk should mark
the hour for final adjournment.
Two or three of the bills that go up
on the statute books with this days date
of approval would have failed had not
old Capt. Bassett, the veteran door
keeper of the senate turned back the
hands of the clock and nominally de-
layed the arrival of the adjournme mt
hour about ten minutes beyond the
actual astronomical time
One of these bills was for the relief of
Arkansas and Missouri. The others
were of no public consequence but in
dividual senators who had procured
their passage were determined that they
should not fail the lack of a few
minutes to obtain the final sigma
ture.
A very remarkable instance of good
management has been afforded by the
enactment of the bill repeating the du-
ties on quinine, which passed the house
yesterday without debate, under sus-
pension OF the rules, and which, contrary
to general expectation, was put through
the senate to-day.
1t was referred to the senate finance
Committee late yesterday afternoon,
and if it had been reported back to-day,
single objection would have prevented
the possibility of its being considered.
The plan adopted was, therefore, to
move a reconsideration of the vote by
which it was referred to the committee,
and being thus brought before the sem
ate, its passage was readily obtained,
for even the strongest opponents of the
bill, either on principle or in the inter-
est of powerful Pennsylvania manufac-
turers of quinine, then shrank from
going upon record in opposition to a
measure so manifestly bneficial for tens
OF thousands of people of scanty means
who suffer from fever and ague
throughout the malarious districts of
the south and west.

Burdette's Advice.
To Young Men Who are Afraid of Work
ing Themselves to Death.
Burlington Hawkeye.l


And then remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick or a pen,
wheelbarrow or set of books, digging bitches
or editing paper, ringing an auction bell Or
writing funny things, you must work. If you
will look around you, you will see that the
men who are most able to work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be afraid of kill
ing yourself with oyerwork, son. 1t is beyond
your power to do that. Men cannot do that on
the sunny side Of thirty They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at P. M, and
don't get home till 2 a. IN. It's the intervals
that kill, my son. The work gives you an ap-
petite for your meals, it lends solidity to your
slumber, it gives you a perfect and grateful ap
probation of holiday. There are young men
who do not work, my son; young men who
make living by sucking the end of a cane;
whose entire mental development is insutici-
ent to tell them which side of postage stamp
to lick; young men who can tie necktie in
eleven different knots, and never lay wrinkle
in it, and then would get into a West Hill
street car to go to Chicago; who can spend
more money in day than you can earn in a
month"; son, and who will go to the sheriff's to
buy postal card and then apply at the office
of the street commissioner for marriage IL
cense. But the world is not proud OF them,
son. 1t does not know their name, even; 1t
simply speaks of them as old Soandso's boys.
Nobody likes them; nobody hates them the
great busy world don't even know they are
there, and at the great, day OF resurrection IL
they do not appear at the sound of the trump
ct, and they certainly will not, unless someone
tells them what it is for and what to do, l don't
think Gabriel will miss them or notice their
absence and they will not be sent for or dis
.,,.N
out them. So find out what you want to be
and to do, son, and take off your coat and make
a dust in the world. The buster you are the
less deviltry you will be apt to get into the
sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.
No, my son, the world does not owe you a
living. The world does not need you yet-you
need the world. If you can convince the world
that you are necessary to its well-being, It's

THE November elections force this shrek
from the New Era: Continue failures,
strikes, wild speculation, poverty and dis
tress mark the tenth month of Republican
and John Sherman resumption. Things are
growing worse for the great mass of the
people and are likely to. You innocent
farmers and workingmen who allowed Jim
Blaine, John Sherman and the rest of that
lying ilk to make you believe that times
were good, will have good time waiting
for it, How the cunning rascals do grin at

KENNEBEc Journal: "Mr. Blaine pub
licly branded as forgery in the Boston
papers of last Tuesday evening, the letter
published in the Boston Globe purporting to
have been written by him. The Maine Stan
dard printed Thursday republished the same
letter as genuine, although the Globe itself
had acknowledged that the letter was not
written by Mr.. Blaine. That gives an idea
of the character of the individual who is the
chief blower about fraud and bribery by the
Republicans in the late election, and who is
doing all he can to have the Governor and
Council count in fraudulent legisla'uree'

THE Argus last week, called upon Messrs
Farrar and Martin to deny the charges pre-
ferred against them by the Globe ''Com-

the "square issue" which the Argus de-

timony, or does it prefer to accept the testi-
mony of the irresponsible commissioner
of the Globe?

E. V. S., presumably Mr.. E. V. Smalley,

ular Republican can carry the State next
year against the Great Defrauded."

CONC TO woRK-One of the
most cheering signs Of the times
is the disposition everywhere to go
to work. PresidentSpofford, of the
Iowa State Agricultural College,
in his annual address gives the fol-
lowing good advice to his students
about the advantages of labor, and
the advice is worth considering by
the students of larger growth: :
''haVing chosen q vocation, whetb-
er on the farm, office or workshop,
stick to TO it. No matter what a
mans position is, he will now and
then become dissatisfied. The far
mer will envy the preacher, the
physician will envy the black smith,
the merchant will envy the teacher,
and the carpenter will envy the
lawyer. a word to you all, my
friends, be content; not that you
should sit down stolidly and never
aspire to higher plane of life.
There is a discomfort that is divine
and you should heed its warnings;
but you should try to excel in that
position which you have chosen.
Let the farmer become better farm
er by reading, obseiv wing and associa-
ting with other farmers, better than
he is. Let the physician become a
better doctor by having big libra
ry on his shelves, and a bigger one
n his brain. Let the carpenter be a
