THE EXODUS.
A Comparison Of the work of the Late Ses-

A Comparison of the Work of the Late Ses-
sion or Congress with Others.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July But few senators and
representatives are left here. The trains, last
night and to-day, bore away nearly all Of those
who saw the expiring hours Of Congress. They,
without exception, expressed great satisfaction
at being permitted to leave For several weeks
their work was very monotonous, and in many
instances. a veritible waste of time. There was
vast difference between this session and the
first session Of the last Congress. In the latter,
matters were proceeded with on the theory that
they were to be completed. In this Congress
the work has been taken up in way that at
once eyinced lack OF faith on the part Of
the participants. 1t has not been the desire
that any positive or unusual measures should be
passed The whole bent has been to accomplish
negative work. There has been a desire shown
in every important measure to straddle, to
put things in condition to claim credit
or denonnce the outcome, Just as the
character Of the work might ter
inmate. The idea was to catch popular public
opinion, going or coming Whether there has
been any degree Of success attained in this par
kcular the country knows.
Senator Sherman is credited with saying that,
In all his extensive congressional career, he has
never seen so little done whore there was SO
much to do; that there has been less proper
Tomato amount Of result than he ever saw, con-
sidering the material offered. In the last
Congress the per cent of measures completed of
those submit was about six or seven. Of this
session the per cent is less than two That is to
say, Of each hundred bills proposed, but
two have become laws, and this Congress has
not accomplished more than one-third as much
as did the last one at this time. 1t is true, as
some of. the departing Democratic statesmen
have argued much time has been consumed in
tw great questions the whisky bond extensio
and tariff revision-but those subjects were
selected from a list Of several thousand, and it is
matter of Judgment the party must answer to
the country for. Whisky and tariff were de-
cided to be paramount issues by the Democrats,
in both the House and Senate, and if their con-
sideration was at the expense of soldiers pen
sions, interstate commerce, bankruptcy, postal
telegraphy, land forfeitures. shipping recon
struction Of the navy and Notifications, revision
of internal revenue, and thousands of other
measures of vital importance, the Democratic
majority win be held responsible for it,

THE INDIANA COLONY
Enthusiastically Ratify the Nomination of
Major Calkins.


Major Calkins.
National Republican.
The Indiana Republican Club held a large and
enthusiastic meeting at Masonic Hall, on Satur-
day evening, to ratify the nomination of Major
w. H. Calkins for Governor About 400 ladies
and gentlemen were present, and the liveliest in
terest was manifested from the opening to the
closing words. The president of the club, Dep
uty Commissioner G. B. Walker called the meet
ing to ORDER stated its object and then intro
duced Senator Harrison, who gave short and
vigorous address, congratulating Major Calkins
on his nomination and pledging to him the hearty
support Of the party. He gave the reasons why
the Major was preferable to his Democratic OPP
ponent, notably that he was better soldier and
stood for better political principles He closed
by introducing the next Governor of Indiana.
Major Calkins was received with hearty and
prolonged applause. He thanked the audience
for their greeting, and pledged himself to make
vigorous canvass. He spoke Of the glorious
record of the party the nation saved slavery
abolished, credit restored, sound currency es-t
tablished; but said that they could not live on
the past deeds In the future, as in the past,
the party must keep abreast of the times, and
deal with living questions. 1t must extend and
equalize pensions and bounties until full justice
was done; it must settle the great question of
interstate transportation; it must restore our
naval prestige All this it would do, and prove
as faithful in the future as in the past to the
great interests of the country
Commissioner Dudley was then introduced
and received greeting as vigorous as his sue
cessful competitor, and said he was like man
assisting as spectator at wedding where he
had hoped to take the principal part But the
bride had gone off with a handsomer man and
he was content. There was no hard feeling be-.
hind, and his best efforts would be given for the
success OF the ticket.

ASH masters Commissions Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, July 8-Postmaster Dick, to-
day, was informed by telegram that Judge
Drummond had decided the quite famous post
office case from Bloomington in Dicks favor.
In this case a postofice clerk, who; for six years
had performed the duties of money order clerk,
preferred charges to Postmaster general Gresham
against Dick claiming that Dick had pocketed,
during the six years, 81, 200 commissions which
ought to have been turned over to the clerk.
About fifty postmasters have been doing the
same as Dick, appropriating the commissions
and allowing the government to pay the hire of
the clerks doing the money order business The
total sum involved in all the cases is about half
a million dollars so that the case assumes ma
tional importance. Postmaster general Gresham
asked Attorney general Brewster's opinion,
which, when given, was adverse to Dick. It was
then agreed between Mr. Gresham and the attor-
ney for the consolidated defense that test case
should be decided by Judge Drummond The
defense, by contributions, raised a large sum of
money for attorneys fees which was RENTED
to and discussed by Mr.. Dick.
