FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS

The suggestion of Senator Edmunds
the first day of the session that the
country is dissatisfied with the work
of congress is said by correspondents
to be producing marked effect. A
disposition is manifest in both houses
to push forward as speedily as posi-
BILE the important work of the session.
In the senate the 9Th Mr.. Beck of
Kentucky offered drag-netresolution
calling for an investigation under the
law against political assessments of
the Hubbell congressional committee,
Amendments were offered from the
republican side to make the investiga-
ton cover the doings of committees
of both parties, but this was resisted
and the resolution was the chief SUBJ
iect of discussion for the week 1t
was a mere piece of buncombe, I'M
derstood to be such from the start,
and Senator Edmunds reminded the
senate that under the Kilbourn deci-
sion of the supreme court it would
amount to nothing if adopted. 1t is
thought, however, that as result of
the discussion salutary bill upon
the subject will be reported from the
civil service committee and become a
law. On Thursday Senator Morrill,
offered an amendment to the house
| bill for the reduction of internal rev.
enue taxation, in effect a new tariff
bill, embodying the recommendation
of the tariff commission. One of two
bankruptcy bills was preferred Mon
day, 80 to 30, and referred to the
judiciary committee for revision.
Some regard this as virtual burial
and few look for the passage of a
bankrupt bill this session.
The House is making good progress
with its work and has accomplished
much more than the Senate In the
first week two appropriation bills, the
Indian and Diplomatic, have been
passed. spasm of energy not often
witnessed in the first week of ses-
sion. Both these bills probably pass
the Senate without much discussion.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says
that Senator Edmunds, in a private
letter to a gentleman in that city, ex-
presses the most decided opposition
Ito any move intended to bring him
before the people as a candidate for
the Presidency, as lie prefers to re-
main in the Senate-a position he
regards as of more honor and useful
ness than any other in American pol
|itics. Senator Edmunds' preference,
lin this matter, has been repeatedly
Expressed heretofore. 1t is not nee
essary to say that it fully accords
with the wishes of the people of the
Commonwealth he so ably and accept
ably represents. AS long as he is
content to represent Vermont in the
Senate, Vermont will be proud and
glad to be represented by him.-Free

The best thing congress can do
with the whisky and tobacco taxes
will be to let them severely alone.
What the people want is relief from
some of the petty but burdensome
internal revenue taxes that were i'm
posed twenty years ago on account
of the dire necessity of the govern
ment, but they do not need laws in
the interest of whisky distilleries and
tobacco manufacturers. If the con-
.oressmen will sense tins and act ac-
cordingly they will show good practi-
i cal wisdom.

UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

In nothing is the effect of the re-
cent elections more apparent than in
the alacrity with which both houses
of Congress bave gone to work.
They spent at least six months of the
last session doing little or nothing
but talk politics and dilly-dallying.
And when it came toward the end
they rushed into one measure of
grand extravaganza which many
members of the present Congress will
continue to ponder in their enforced
retirement. Before one week of the
present session had passed, indeed
on the very first day of the session,
they took up their work and appear
disposed to give good account of

AFFAIRS I'm UTAH.

The Utah Commissioners, appoint
ed by the United States Government,
have made report to the Secretary
of the Interior, detailing the results
of their labors in Utah Territory.
They recommend that Congress
should enact law ''declaring all
future marriages in Utah null and
void, unless contracted and evidenced
in the manner provided by the act.
Certain places should be designated
for all marriages, which should be
witnessed by certain persons, and
registered in specific public offices,
so as to make the proof of marriage
morally certain. The parties and
witnesses should be required to make
their affidavits against polygamy.
The Commission also recommend the
repeal of the Woman Suffrage law in
Utah. They say, in conclusion, eff
the next session of the legislative
Assembly elected under the act of
Congress shall fail to respond to the
will of the nation, Congress should
have no hesitation In using extraordi-
nary measures to compel the people
of this Territory to obey the laws OF
the land"

1t is estimated that over $50, 900, 900
of gold will be received from Europe
between November and April next.
Imports of merchandise have fallen
off, while the exports increase. The
people have apparently absorbed all
the foreign goods they want for the
season, and now Europe must pay
cash for our grain, meats and cotton.
This importation of money will
ease our markets greatly, and set
things humming again, when caution
regarding the changes in the tariff is
no longer necessary. There are
still, however, some bad omens.
The speculative fever RACES and the
free supply of money will only in
crease it. The credit system extend
ed, and by and by pinch will come
and things will go to smash. That
has always been the way, and
every generation has to learn the
folly of it by experience.

INSPECTOR OF FINANCE.

Governor Barstow has appointed
Hon. Charles Dewey of Montpelier,
State Inspector of Finance. Mr..
Dewey's high personal standing, his
large financial experience and sound
judgment in all matters relating to
investments and care of funds, and
his long familiarity with public affairs,
make this a fit appointment; and we
have no fears that the Governors
selection will not commend itself to
the public, in the future conduct of
the office.
The duties Of the Inspector of f.
nance, are to assist the auditor of
accounts in examining the accounts
of the State treasurer to examine
the books of the auditor of accounts,
and to examine and report the con-
dition of the various savings banks
and trust companies. His pay is
five dollars day for services rem
dered, and his actual travelling ex-
penses, the savings banks being
required to refund to the treasury the
cost to the State of the examinations
of their condition.
The office was created in 1869, anc
has been held by Evelyn Pierpoint o
Rutland, Charles Morgan of Roches
ter. and William III. Dubois of Ran
dolph, the latter having held it TO
the past six years. till his election a

The official announcement Of the
vote of New Jersey for congressman
affords the data for striking and sug
gestive comparisons. Three mem
bers of the present house who voted
for the river and harbor bill sought
reelection = Robson, republican,
and Harris and Ross, democrats.
In the first district, Robson had a
republican majority of 3,457 two
years ago; now democrat beats
him by 1,715 majority. In the third
district, Ross had democratic ma
jority of 2,772 two years ago; now
a republican beats him by 1886 ma
jority. In the fourth district, Har-
ris had democratic majority of
ALP two years ago; now a repub-
lican beats him by 622 majority.
In the three districts there was a
change of over $4,000 votes-a
change made by honest men of both
parties to show that the edict of g
party caucus could no longer com
mand their support for bad men, Oh
their endorsement for bad measures.

The Hay Tax.

The following is the full text OF the
letter written by Dir. Loring, Commission
er of Agriculture, to the Hon. c. \. B0u
telle, concerning the hay tax. 1t should
command the careful consideration Of AL
Maine farmers:
Z ;. DEPARTMENT OF -AGRICULTURE,
WASHINGTON. ID. G., Aug. 49, 81.
My Dear Mr. Bouee: In reply to your
communication relating to the reduction Of the
duty on hay, allow me to say that you I'M
dOubtcdy correct in your views of the impor-
tant Of the hay crop to the farmers of Maine,
the tariff law by which the duty has been
injurious to New England, increasing as if does
the competition which has already had quite an
impetus in recent years. Notice the increase
even while the twenty-five per cent duty was in
force, as follows:
lS79------ 1886 s so,s2s 5 1916
1880 ~ 66 $50 493934 gS. IS6
1881 ------- 165 ,352 l,965.632 393, ,12G
Large as this item has become, one-siXth of
ii million tons, such reduction of the duties
may swell immensely the future importation
which is to compete with domestic hay i'll the
supply Of more than thirty million tons now
required for our annual consumption. Coming
as it does from the Dominion and grayitating
naturally to a district in which the highest
prices prevail, New England is threatened
with deluge of importation and her farmers
with loss in larger proportion than any other
section of the country.
