THE CLOSING DAYs.

Il Usual EffOrts TO Rush Through All
Sorts Of Questionable Schemes.
5fisi TO tho Indiahapolfs Journal
n sHINGFON june 80 1t is during Just such
thes as the present in Congress that the jobber
wells in success and the dishonest member gets
trough his questionable schemes Things are
hhdhaFe been for several days running loose IN
the Honse. There have been such a small mum
Tor Of bills passed during the session, which has
eeen stupid and tremesome, and there are so
many now almost perishing and SO many mem
bers desire the adoption of measures that they
are interested in that many are passed which
would not, perhaps, under less exciting circum-
Stance be favorably considered
This desire to consider bills Of 50 much per
sonal interest to members moves the House to
utilize the morning hour almost daily, and some
times the morning hour consumes the greater
portion Of the day. The scenes presented each
morning after the Journal is read suggest moth
1g milder than mob. From twenty to fifty
emRefs congregate like rabble in the semi
circle before the Speaker and We
hemently cry for recognition. In
their hands they hold bills or
other papers. These they faunt about wildly
in their hands as they scream to the Speaker
The gavel is welded almost constantly. Every
thing is done by unanimous consent, and as
there are 50 many who want unanimous consent
# Is not often that objection is made. So meas
ures are called up and passed faster than the
auctioneer disposes of ive-cent wares. Indeed
the scene much resembles an auction room, but
more that of an exchange
People are tired Of this Congress. 1t has done
little to interest even those who participate di-
rectly IN the proceedings, and It is not wonder
that in the waning hours the weary, disguised
members, impetuous and anxious, should ask
but few questions when a measure is taken up
for passage. So outrageous have the doings UNI
der these circumstances grown Of late years
tlaat it has become customary for shrewd ma
nipulators to POSTPONE until the last
few days Of Congress action upon bills
Of doubtful character. During the
excitement of the time they watch opportri-
mites when ingenious and inquiring members
are outof their seats aadby aqnick, unexpected
move they get up their measures, they are
passed. and the thing is soon forgotten It was
during timelike this ia the last Congress that
the whisky men tried to whip through the
bonded extension bill, but the astute Republican
members were on the lookout for them.
The calendar of the House is to-day so large
that it would not be natural if there were no
steals in it Of the most dagTant character. Some
4 Of them may be got through in the furry that
Is being enjoyed and which will continue until

from all Of its important cuts in the appropria-

it puts its tongs to Senate bill Of any charac-

Why do the Democrats recede before the
Senator Iasled.
Because they do not mean what they appear
to do in earnest. They are only hoodwinking
the people, and want to make the country be-
lieve they would inaugurate great reforms were
it not for the Republicans. There was probably
