The protectionists are evidently
apprchensive of tariff legislation at
the coming session of Congress-
They are endeavoring to thoroughly
alarm the country and the depress-
ion in the iron trade is the sign Of
danger they point to. The manu-
lacturers Of steel rails seem to be SUI
feYing from self inflicted cause.-the
same that embarrassed the distillers
and that is over production. The
Bcssomcr rail makers have had some
years Of monopoly. The repeated
enormous profits, and in their natur-
al desire to make every dollar posi-
bic, they have been led into manu-
featuring more goods than they can
sell. Still, there is no reason why
the whole country should get scared.

Abiding to the talk about the
adoption of a law giving the President
power to veto Objectionable sections of
an appropriation bill without killing the
whole measure, the Washington Star
thinks it is doubtful if Congress will
ever consent to give this extent of power
to the Executive. Il says, however, that
really there is no need of such legisla-
ton to enable the President to do this
very thing. He already has the power
and it has been exercised by several
Presidents-to withhold the expenditure
of money for the execution of unneces-
sary work provided for in appropriation
bills. He can exercise his judgment as
to the amount of work to be executed
within the year, and the time of entering
upon it. The fact that an unexpended
balance of four million dollars remains
in the Treasury from appropriations for
the last fiscal year affords an illustration
of the exercise of this power.

Major Richard Taylor Allison, nephew OF
President Zachary Taylor, has been APP
pointed Clerk Of the Superior Court of Bal
t,more. vice Francis A. Provost, deceased.
Msior Allison was lawyer, and praetlced
in baltimore city for some time, but was
appointed Psymaster in the United states
navy, which position he held until 1901,
when he resigned and entered the servlce
Of the Confederate States. During the war
he held the rank OF Major In the marine
service, and was attached to one OF the de
partments in Richmond, Va. After the
surrender OF General Johnston at Green's
boro, N. c., in 1865, he returned to Mary
land. BE was appointed by Chief Clerk
Robinson in 1867 to clerkship in the Supe-
rior Court and Deputy Clerk of the Supreme
Bench, the Clerk of the Supreme Court
being also clerk OF that body. Major ALI
son is gentleman Of fine appearance and of
very attractive manner, and is Democrat
in politics. His wifewas Miss Maria Tan y,
a daughter of the late Chief Justice fancy,
and his social connections are with many OF
the best families of Maryland.

The true secret of the ease with which
tho river and harbOr bill was passed by
Congress over the Presidents veto is
that our hard worked Federal Legisla-
ture is anxious to adjourn. A Washing
ton dispatch says that everybody Is
tired out and homesick. 1t could not
he expected. therefore, that so august a
bodv could allow little thing like $1s,-
oOO OOO-of which only shout half was
stealage-to stand between them and
home when they were 50 tired and longed
for home 50 much. Five thousand dollars
a year is not pay enough to compensate
onr statesmen for longer enduring the
A;scomforts of the capital, even If the
DubIic veal has to be disregarded, espe-
eially as it is too hot to drink whisky
or even champagne.

We feel very much as the Detroit FTee
press does when it takes the ground that
for the very reason that the Michigan
items of the river and harbOr bill were
legitimate. the Michigan delegation in
Congress should have planted itself
6rmIv on the Justice and honesty of their
demand and should have scorned to buy
support for their just claims by support
ing monstrous frauds, The same Is true
of the Georgia claims. They were not
only Just, but as far as the appropriation
for the Savannah river and harbor Is con
oerned. much larger sum than was ap-
propriated was recommended by General
G,llmore. 1t would have been much
more satisfactory, then, if our entire dele
cation had arrayed themselves against SO
barefaced a swindle as Is this bill

1t seems that the present Congress is
not the first which has prOtracted its
session from December to August. The
first session of the Fortyfourth Congress
lasted from December 5, 1875, to August

continued its first session from December
8, 1855, to August IS. 1856 The thirty
third Congress continued its first session
to August z, 1854 The Thirty second
Congress- first session lasted to August
81, 1852, while the Thirty -irst Congress
beat all others before or since. sitting
from December 3, 1S49, to September
80, 1850. These last mentioned were
Democratic Congresses, which placed
their duty to their constituents above
heat, malaria or anything else.

The Georgia Radical brethren still do
not live together in harmony by long
shot. Yesterday the Pledger faction,
styling themselves the regulars, +" met
and indorsed Gartrel for Governor, and
put a ticket in the field on which the
colored element largely predominated.
The Boilers" under the leadership OF
Longstreet, Farrow s Co., held
also a convention. and placed
a ticket in the field. "The
regulars assert that they intend to put
men on the stump everywhere, and make
a vigorous campaign. The indications
are, however, that they will have to do
more stumping against their own party
than against the Democrats.

Poland, of Vermont, declares his mis-
sion in Congress will be to take care OF
the rights of the negro in the South.
The theory of our government is that a
Representative is sent to Congress
from State to look after the
interests of that State, and this
theory has recently received cordial
Endorsement from Mr. Brewster, our
Radical Attorney General, when he de-
cided that a Congressman was a State
and not Federal officer If Mr.. Poland,
therefore, minds his own business in
Congress he will have his hands full,
without bothering himself about impu-
IDENTIFY meddling with the affairs of the
people of other States with which he
has nothing whatever to do.

1t seems that the house of A. t. Stew

standing numerous reports to the con-
trary. Judge Hilton and Mr.. Libby will
retire, but the business will be carried
on under the old firm name by Judge
Hilton's son who has been in
the house for many years-and
some of the other old clerks. The
reason why the establishment did
not close as announced is said to be be-
cause the business was too large and
profitable, and because hrs Stewart has
expressed a wish that the firm continue
at leastsduring her life. 1t looks now
very much as if the extended notices OF
an intention to close up was simply
cute advertising dodge.

Sly Old Horse.

Anent "The Blues I have heard 4
charming story, Illustrative of the won
derful intelligence of some horses. One
evening the officer On guard hearing q
q noise III the stable concluded that a
horse must have got loose. He therefore
went With Il corporal of the guard, and,
looking through a keyhole, saw an old
troop horse lifting up the lid Of the corn
bin and munching away at the oats.
The officer ratified the door By mistake.
The old charger instantly cooked his
ears, stole back to his stall, artfully slip
ped his head into his halter, and awaited
events as il nothing had happened: Sec
ing this, the officer and corporal pretend
ing to be deceived after looking around
the stables, went out again. So soon,
however, as the horse heard the lock
turned upon them, he slipped his halter
and attacked the corn-bin again. After
this, the crafty old warrior was firmly
secured.-London Figaro.
