We CLIP from the Philadelphia Times
the following summary OF the work OF
the frst SESSION OF the Forty. eighth Con.
Eress which closed Monday afternoon;
Among the bills OF public Importance which
have become laws are those reducing tho
burdens upon American commerce, creating
a bureau OF Labor Statistics, organizing and
fitting out the expedition for the relief OF
Lieut.. Greedy, establishing u bureau OF
Animal Industry and providing for the sup,
preston and extirpation Of pleuro-pneumo-
mia and other contagious diseases among
domestic animals. The test oath act was also
repealed. The vicious habit of attaching
Legislative provisions to appropriation bills
has been continued and among these are to DO
found law creating Bourd of Pension APP
peals, providing for the appointment OF
useless and costly Missouri River Commits.

improvements of the Mississippi and restrict

the public printer from printing any docu.
ment or matter not authorized by law.
Among the propositions defeated are to be
found the Morrison tariff bull making hori-
zontal reduction Of 20 per cent, the admission
TO registry Of foreign built vessels and the
Joint resolution comforting upon the Presi,
dent the power to veto paragraphs and items
from appropriation bills. Among the essen
TALLY bad measures defeated may be numbered
the Hennepin canal job, the appropriation of
$3.50, 600 TO purchase the concession for the
Nicaragua canal, the reference to the court
OF claims OF all demands against the govern
ment arising under the eight hour law, the
reduction OF the life OF patents from n to
five years. A large collection Of bills to
regulate the importation OF contract labor

and the professional yote'catchers.
OF course the Times regards the period
spent in discussing the tariff question al
utterly wasted ignoring the self
evident fact that If this discussion hat
not come up this year it must come III
some time in the near future, and tina
there is no other subject whose bsarinI
