PROSPECTS OF ADJOURNMENT.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS BEING PUSHED yoBwAxu
-REPUBLIcANs READY TO AID IN THE WORK.
NO IMPORTANT LEGISLATION ACCOMPLISHMENT
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE xRlBUsEl
WASHINGTON. May 1.-There Ia Q better prospect
Of an adjournment Of Congress on one of the laJ1
days Of the present month than there has been ~
any previous time during the session. For several
weeks there has been disposition 10 both housea
to make all other business give way to the sppros
priation bills and to push those forward rapidly
as possible The Post Office Appropriation bill wss
reported to-day and there will then only remain 10
be disposed of the Legislative Executive and judi
cal, the Sundry Civil and the Annual Deficiency
bills.
These are among the most important Of tho
money bills, and generally give rise to long dscus-
sion both in the House Of Representatives and ID
the Senate. At the same time it has been no IN.
common thing for Congress to dispose OF them In
much less time than o month, and the leaders'of !
both parties will apply themselves to the work IN
hand in good earnest. In the spirit which many ok
them profess, an adjournment before the Chicago
Convention may be easily brought about, but IL
cannot be accomplished If the Democrnts propose to
put any more riders" upon the remaining appro-
pdatlon bills unless the day Of adiournment +
soon fixed and the business Of Congress is arranged
with fixed determination to complete IL by the
time set.
Of course If Congress adjourns on the first ofJune
or before the session will have proved substantially
q fruitless one. No important measures Of general
Legislation will have been passed lin shape 70 bd
disposed of at the next and last session OF this
gress But that was to be expected II tho session
should be prolonged far into the Summer, as it waa
in 1876. no more would be accomplished. The Dem,
ocrats seem to have lost the art Of government and
even if this was not so. Presidential Congresses
that is those during which Presidential election
takes place. of late years, never very fruitful i
general legislation.
A General Press dispatch says caucus meet-
Ing OF the Republican Senators held this attenoons
for the purpose Of interchanging Views on the sad

or taken but entire unanimy Of sentiment was deve
oped favor Of cooperating with what Is understood "a
purpose OF the Democratic leaders to bring about
ana adjournment Of the present session Of Congrcss
by the 1st Of June. The general Impression seemed 20
be that in case the be not ended before the
2d proximo, there will be strong probability OF fts be
prolonged for some time beyond the adournment %

A ons-sdsd piece of favoritism We have

MORNING APPEAL.
A WASH SALE.

The Enterprise of yesterday morning at
tempted to startle the people of Carson with
the proposition that the management of the
V. & T. r. r. is about to pass into the hands
Of the Central Pacific Company. Let us see
for a moment how such a change would effect
Carson. First, it will stop the building of
the Bodis road Nothing could hurt us as
much as this proposed BJdie road, from the
fact that freight from Virginia City to
Bode would 90 so much cheaper that
way as to stop the freig Citing and team :
ing from this city, an industry whic h
at present Is very reInuneratlve to Car
SON If the Central Pacific buy the road they
certainly believe that there is money in it and
they will inaugurats but few changes. The
talk of moving the machine shops which cost
over o hundred thousand dollars is absurd
They will be needed here under the new
management as much as under the old. 1t is
not likely that the new management would
take damaged ears and Locomotives to Sacra-
msnto and Wads worth for repairs when they
have every facility here to do the work.
would not bs half the calamity to Carson that
the Bodie road would be. AS far as the V.
h T. road is concerned, Carson has always
been nothing mere than way station and
Determinations are made against it on freight.
The APPEAL is charged with having assisted
in driving capital out of the State and pre-
venting investments. Now does any sane
man suppose that d. 0. Mills will refuse to
take the chances of making money on account
of the Carson APPEAL or the Virginia Chron-
'cLe The idea is too preposterons for discus
sion. The alleged sale is only "a part ia the
political programme and simply means that
Bill Sharons connection with the V. i I,
road has made him 50 obnoxious to the pes-
pie that if he appears to get out of 1t his
friends think it will help his chances in the
Senatorial campaign. Beside this the road
is losing its prestige in Nevada and is now
trying to bully the people into submission.
1t is part OF a prec0ncerted programme and
only political scare-crow to set up in the
field until election time. The device
transparent as glass and the attitude of the
Enterprise upon the subject only excites
laughter. Ii is the threat of monopoly which
says, al the people of Carson do not let us
run everything our way Will pack up and

not part with share of their stock. They
have too good a thing The sale is wash
affair and ON par with the alleged sale of SO,

FAME.

The San Francisco Chronicle of last Sunday
contains clever satire copied from the New
York World Itrepresents young man who
announced that he was about to write book
to be called {" The Lessons of Life" This re
mark was repeated by his friends and it WAS
soor Aoissd about that he was hard at work
spon his forthcoming production. 1t was a
noticeable fact that he asvsr wrote anything for
the magazines or newspapers and the natural
opposition was that he was concentrating his
time upon his book. This being known he
was praised for his good sense. Presently a
rich old fellow who had lovely daughter, ar
ranged to make the young man his son i'll law
because he was anxious to have distinguished
literary person in the family. As years passed
on the papers were continually abiding to the
progress he was making in his work, and he
was known everywhere as the author of The
Lessons of Life" The cause Of the hook never
having made it's appearance was accounted for
by the fact that the author intended to make
it masterpiece and it would only be completed
in his old age, that the last chapters mightih have
the benefit Of his ri pened experience When at
last he grow old and feeble the press an
nounced that his tremendous application to lit
srsry labor had made him prematarely old
Book publishers were ever on the alert to Sc
cure the work, but he never gave them any sat
isfsction. He was presently made an honorary
member of a famous literary society at which
1 .l. Il, !
assiA ulate hiA to their circle. The cross of
the Legion of Honor was finally hung on his
breast BY the Emperor In recognition of his
distinguished literary services. At last he
died, and dozsn representatives of leading
publishlsg houses called upon his widow to
care the Ms They foand it after some diff
Gcuity and it was nothing more than a sing lie
page On which was written The Lessons Of
Life" A moro cutting satire on how some
.sn gain wide spread regulations, was never
written. Literature is not the only field where
frauds are found. Political booms spring up
from nothing and carry men of no abilities
whatever to high places. Men are hoisted to
exalted positions in the courts who simply
look wise and concur in the opinions of
mon who have the light to have opinions. la
every town there is one great man who knows
svsrythins, and h. is never known to d. any
thing except look wise and receive the adula-

stupid old ass in tho place and nobody ever
discovers the difference. ssch man are like
